Every time Jun Qi came back, Xu Qiaoqiao would say this to him.

The goal is to cultivate this habit, to incorporate yourself more into the other person's life, to make your presence felt, and to increase your own presence.

Once you realize that all you remember are things related to yourself, you probably won't want to eat yourself anymore, especially after all these years of companionship.

Unfortunately, I'm just a blade of grass. If I were a tigress, I would have attacked her directly.

It took so much brainpower. She's really bad at chasing men—no, chasing males.

Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but purse her lips. This was going to be a long battle. She could tell that Jun Qi was a bit stubborn, or as the saying goes, single-minded, and had a peculiar way of thinking.

Jun Qi quickly ran to Xu Qiaoqiao's side. Xu Qiaoqiao didn't mind the smell of blood. She opened the leaves as if she was opening her arms to Jun Qi.

Jun Qi immediately understood. He released the wild boar and ran to Xu Qiaoqiao, affectionately rubbing against her leaves. Xu Qiaoqiao gently stroked him in response, which made him even happier.

Having experienced two worlds, Xu Qiaoqiao was quite clear about this, even though she hadn't encountered tigers much in either world, and the only time she did encounter one, she was too scared to even look at it.

"Wow, you hunted a wild boar! That's great!"

Xu Qiaoqiao said in a slightly exaggerated voice, "I've heard that words of praise can bring happiness to others. I don't know where Xu Qiaoqiao heard this from, but I'm sure I'll feel good when someone praises me."

Sure enough, Jun Qi's mood visibly improved, and his little tail swayed so much that it seemed to be developing into a propeller, or rather, a propeller that was already in the process of developing.

"Roar!"

He yelled at Xu Qiaoqiao several times, looking somewhat shy.

Xu Qiaoqiao's smile deepened. She patted the big guy's head and said to him, "Alright, alright, go eat. Don't lick, don't lick. You've licked all that blood onto me."

When Jun Qi is happy, he has a habit of licking others. Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't stand the smell of the wild boar, so she made Jun Qi eat it beforehand.

After entering, Xu Qiaoqiao was carried in by Jun Qi, so she only had a brief look around. Yesterday, she was playing with Jun Qi and didn't observe carefully, but now she had time to take a look.

Xu Qiaoqiao thought this was a maze-like place, but now she finds that it is completely different from what she imagined.

This is just an ordinary outdoor area. Compared to the surrounding areas, the terrain of Junqi's cave is relatively low and flat, and there is also relatively little greenery here.

It's not bad, because there's a river next to it, a very shallow one, like a ditch, but it's probably connected to some larger river.

Jun Qi ate with great relish; the wild boar meat was chewy and very filling.

It's really good with rice.

Xu Qiaoqiao tilted her head and watched Jun Qi eat, her eyes only on the wild boar meat in front of her. Because he was tearing the meat with a bit too much force, some blood splattered onto Xu Qiaoqiao.

Because of the angle, most of it splashed onto my face.

Forget it, I can just wipe it myself.

But there was no mirror, so Xu Qiaoqiao didn't know exactly where the water had splashed. So she picked up the water ladle next to her and poured water on her face. Instantly, the cool water flowed over her face, which felt very comfortable.

Jun Qi's meal took about an hour, which was really slow. Xu Qiaoqiao even saw him pull out some grass from the side and put some into his mouth while chewing meat.

Um?

Can tigers eat grass?

I don't quite understand.

Xu Qiaoqiao's first thought was to ask Jun Qi, but seeing how much he enjoyed his food, she gave up on the idea. She figured she could ask him later. Besides, Xu Qiaoqiao felt that even if she did ask, Jun Qi couldn't speak yet, and if he answered her question, it would be a series of roars.

That won't work; I definitely won't understand.

Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself.

After Jun Qi finished eating, he sat there comfortably licking his paws, cleaning off all the bloodstains, and then licking the area around his mouth clean as well.

After completing these actions, he wanted to take a walk, but when he saw Xu Qiaoqiao's expectant eyes, he suddenly stopped himself from doing so. This spiritual herb couldn't go with him.

"Ahei, come here."

Xu Qiaoqiao shook her leaves at Jun Qi. Upon hearing this, Jun Qi obediently squinted and walked over, lying down in front of her. The stiff whiskers on his lips seemed to be poking her. Xu Qiaoqiao tried to touch the whiskers, but seeing that Jun Qi did not react, she made a larger movement.

"Good girl."

Xu Qiaoqiao patted Jun Qi's head and smiled.

Junye responded to her movements, making a few soft sounds in his throat, looking like he was enjoying it.

It looks just like a big cat.

Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself, "Cats must really enjoy being petted, right? This one must really enjoy it." Xu Qiaoqiao didn't own a cat, but she was really looking forward to getting one. After all, who wouldn't be confused by a fluffy little thing like that?

The sun was shining brightly today, warming him nicely. Having also eaten a full meal, Jun Qi quickly became sleepy. He lay down on his side next to Xu Qiaoqiao, nuzzling his head against her leaves.

Time really flies for animals. In the time it took Jun Qi to wake up and go hunting, plus the time he spent eating, it was already afternoon.

I don't know the specifics, but I have a general idea; it's all based on intuition.

"roar."

Jun Qi let out a soft roar, his mustache twitched, and he yawned, allowing Xu Qiaoqiao to clearly see his sharp teeth, which looked quite formidable.

Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself.

This is the perfect time for an afternoon nap. Just as Xu Qiaoqiao finished saying good afternoon to Jun Qi, an unexpected guest arrived.

Jun Qi immediately sensed the aura, and his sleepiness vanished instantly. He scrambled to his feet, stood in front of Xu Qiaoqiao, and glared fiercely at the unexpected visitor.

Xu Qiaoqiao's perception was not as good as Jun Qi's. When Jun Qi made this series of actions, she was still a little confused. What was going on?

Until I also sensed that aura.

Xu Qiaoqiao fell silent.

This aura feels somewhat familiar.

Depend on!

Isn't this the scent of that black bear?

How did he end up here?

The black bear followed Jun Qi's scent and slowly made its way here. It had just finished eating honey and needed some meat to neutralize it. Upon entering Jun Qi's territory, it detected Jun Qi's scent, which made it very happy.

Because I didn't look for the wrong one.

That's all for now. Goodnight everyone, go to sleep early!
