That night, after Xu Qiaoqiao fell asleep, Jun Qi opened his eyes.

He walked up to Xu Qiaoqiao, looked at her with a complicated expression, and stared at her all night, looking quite helpless. It seemed that this matter was troubling him a lot.

"What a hassle..."

Jun Qi didn't look away until dawn. He said something softly and then lay down to rest. He wasn't interested in what happened when Xu Qiaoqiao woke up to find an enlarged tiger face in front of her.

Ever since Xu Qiaoqiao discovered that her roots could move, she has been practicing every day. She doesn't know if she can cultivate or anything in this world, because there is no such thing in the inherited memories of this grass.

However, Xu Qiaoqiao firmly believes that the spiritual herb's inherent qualities will definitely be better than the little rabbit's in this lifetime.

Xu Qiaoqiao originally wanted to ask Jun Qi about this, but when she saw Jun Qi playing ball and having a great time, she immediately put her mind at ease.

Forget it, let's ask again in a few days.

Thanks to Xu Qiaoqiao's persistent efforts, she was finally able to loosen the soil on her own and even walk on the ground. It felt amazing; her roots, now separated from the soil, were no longer as weak as before.

This is what makes Xu Qiaoqiao happiest. She won't have to stay in one place all the time anymore and can move around on her own.

Later, Jun Qi was probably still feeling awkward and tried to avoid contact with Xu Qiaoqiao, because he always thought that it was because he was too close to Xu Qiaoqiao that he developed feelings for her that he couldn't bear to part with her.

This is something Jun Qi figured out in one night.

Indeed, Jun Qi still didn't want to believe the truth, so he wanted to struggle a little longer.

This is actually quite normal. After all, who would develop feelings for the food they eat, especially high-grade and excellent food? But it's still just food, which still causes Jun Qi some inner conflict.

That's where his struggle lies.

At first, Xu Qiaoqiao wasn't quite sure what Jun Qi was thinking, and she didn't even realize that he was distancing himself from her. She just thought he was throwing a tantrum, and that he would usually adjust himself in this situation.

But after some time, Xu Qiaoqiao found that Jun Qi was still the same, and she began to have doubts. What's wrong with this guy?

It's understandable that they don't sleep together normally, since Xu Qiaoqiao's roots can't be away from the soil for too long, and bending her roots like that would make her feel uncomfortable.

However, this guy no longer stays by Xu Qiaoqiao's side when eating, and the same goes for playing. When going out or coming in, he will also avoid Xu Qiaoqiao a little.

Such an obvious change is hard to miss.

But she never imagined that it was because Junjun had developed feelings for her that he couldn't bear to part with her. Feelings are something that are naturally present, and Xu Qiaoqiao believed from the bottom of her heart that Junqi would never treat her badly, no matter what.

That day, Xu Qiaoqiao watched Jun Qi curled up in a ball eating in the corner furthest away from her, and felt slightly annoyed. Besides, he was eating, so why did he have to keep sneaking glances at her?

It's the kind of thing where you look up once, then look down and take a bite.

"Ahem, Ahei."

Xu Qiaoqiao cleared her throat and called out to Jun Qi, her own leaves rustling as she smiled kindly.

When Jun Qi heard Xu Qiaoqiao's words, his heart skipped a beat. This was not a good thing, so he initially tried to pretend he hadn't heard. However, Xu Qiaoqiao clearly saw through his cowardly behavior.

After calling out a few times without success, Xu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow and said, "Ahei, if you're not coming over, then I'll go over to you."

As it spoke, it moved its roots, uprooting itself, with those thin roots providing support, as if it were about to pass through at any moment.

Xu Qiaoqiao was able to walk so quickly thanks to the medicine from Elder Jun Qi and his persistent irrigation. As a result, the medicine brought by Elder Jun Qi was used up by Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao in about three months.

"Roar!"

Upon hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's words, Jun Qi immediately responded with a few roars, causing Xu Qiaoqiao to stop her movements. She simply stared at Jun Qi, observing his reaction.

"Roar..."

Jun Qi wanted to speak to Xu Qiaoqiao, but what came out of his mouth was a shout. Realizing that Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't understand him, he quickly corrected himself: "Qiaoqiao, say what you want to say right here."

After spending this time together, not only Xu Qiaoqiao, but Jun Qi has also grown a lot. His voice, which was originally a youthful and childlike tone, has now changed as if it were a voice changer, and he sounds much more mature.

"No, we have to talk to him up close."

Xu Qiaoqiao shook her leaves, and several leaves swayed together, which was quite obvious. The sound of the leaves swaying was also inconsistent, and under Xu Qiaoqiao's control, it was as if they were dancing.

Jun Qi shook his head. "No, right here."

Xu Qiaoqiao insisted, "Then I'll go over there."

After saying that, it immediately wiggled its roots, like the flexible limbs of an octopus, and rushed directly towards Jun Qi at its fastest speed. However, it didn't control its speed well and slapped itself onto Jun Qi's head.

Jun Qi: ......

Qiaoqiao's speed has increased a lot recently.

This was the first thought that arose in Jun Qi's mind.

Xu Qiaoqiao climbed off Jun Qi's face and took a few steps back, but the distance between them was still very close. Jun Qi's nervous and somewhat disordered breathing sprayed onto Xu Qiaoqiao's leaves.

"Qiaoqiao, what are you doing?"

Jun Qi calmly said this, but in Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes, the already cute fluffy creature made such an expression, which made it even cuter.

Xu Qiaoqiao didn't know how to describe it, but that's just the innate advantage of felines.

Xu Qiaoqiao chuckled softly. She rubbed Jun Qi's head with a leaf and asked directly, without any transition, "Why have you been avoiding me lately?"

After saying that, she retaliated by pressing down on the leaves with much more force.

Her eyes were fixed on Jun Qi's eyes, and in those quick eyes, Xu Qiaoqiao saw her own reflection; it really looked like a human face.

However, his own face felt flat to the touch, lacking that realistic sense of contour.

Jun Qi's eyes immediately became unfocused, which Xu Qiaoqiao noticed.

"What do you mean by hiding from you, Qiaoqiao? You're overthinking it. Let go of me right now, I want to continue eating."

He even put on an unhappy expression, as if Xu Qiaoqiao had disturbed his meal.
