Xu Qiaoqiao hugged her boyfriend's head, her eyes full of smiles, gently stroking his head with her hands and calling out softly, comforting him.

"Waaaaah~"

Xu Qiaoqiao heard Jun Qi's voice, which sounded somewhat aggrieved. This made Xu Qiaoqiao even more curious about what Jun Qi had gone through while she was away.

It took about ten minutes in total.

Jun Qi lifted his head from Xu Qiaoqiao's embrace, his cool eyes already glistening with tears. The distance between them was only a few centimeters, and Xu Qiaoqiao could clearly see Jun Qi's eyes.

"quack?"

Xu Qiaoqiao squinted her eyes, gently patted Jun Qi's head, and also rubbed his cute, soft ears.

Jun Qi felt a little sad. He was too tired yesterday, and because of the melting ice, he hadn't really paid attention to the drone. Then, after so much time had passed, he realized that the drone had disappeared.

"Waaaaah~" Little fox, I've lost the toy you gave me.

Jun Qi looked at Xu Qiaoqiao with a bit of grievance. Unfortunately, the two of them couldn't understand each other's language at all. Xu Qiaoqiao wanted to guess, but there were no hints for the time being, so she couldn't guess.

But... offering comfort is the right thing to do.

Xu Qiaoqiao gave Jun Qi a sweet smile, her eyes curving into crescent shapes. She cupped Jun Qi's head and couldn't resist stroking his ears.

"Giggle." Don't cry, be good!

After feeling comforted by the little fox, Jun Qi recovered. He leaned over and kissed the little fox haphazardly. The little fox's fur was very fluffy and felt especially comfortable.

In the evening, the temperature dropped considerably. Jun Qi woke up quite coincidentally. His fur was very thick, and unlike Xu Qiaoqiao, he didn't shed in the summer.

After comforting the guy, Xu Qiaoqiao gestured for him to look at the lemmings, and he squawked at her, looking very proud.

Look! Junjun, I caught all of these. Aren't I amazing!

If Xu Qiaoqiao could see herself now, she would definitely find it familiar, because this arrogant look is just like when Jun Qi caught the seal!

Jun Qi tilted his head and looked at the pile of lemmings. At this moment, he understood the little fox's meaning perfectly: the little fox had caught all of these things.

So many...

The little fox is so clever!

Jun Qi clapped his hands in perfect unison. He had learned this from the little fox when it was done before. He didn't know what it meant, but doing it made him feel happy.

Seeing Jun Qi's reaction, Xu Qiaoqiao felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She hadn't eaten all day, except for some berries. Jun Qi had been waiting for her to eat, and she couldn't just stop waiting because he doted on her and thought he didn't care about this.

Moreover, this was a special situation, and she felt that it was best to eat with Junjun.

It's a kind of ritual.

She also wanted to cook with Junjun.

Xu Qiaoqiao thought happily, and then began to distribute the lemmings.

"This is probably our only meal today," Xu Qiaoqiao said. After distributing the lemmings, she smiled when she saw Jun Qi start eating, and then she started eating as well.

To be honest, she hadn't eaten all day, and she was starving.

At this moment, Xu Qiaoqiao perfectly experienced Jun Qi's usual state. Sure enough, the food she caught herself tasted even better!

Jun Qi also thought it was delicious. This was the first meal the little fox had caught for him. He even swallowed very slowly. After Xu Qiaoqiao finished eating, he still had half left.

Xu Qiaoqiao watched Jun Qi's movements and thought about how fast he usually ate. Could it be that Jun Jun didn't like to eat these things?

After all, they ate so slowly; if it weren't for the fact that they caught it themselves, they probably would have given up long ago.

The two people's brainwaves did not align at this moment.

It seems we can't feed Junjun lemmings anymore. If not lemmings, what will he eat?

Xu Qiaoqiao sat down, licked the grease off her paws, and thought about these things. Her abilities were really limited. The food she could catch that was suitable for Junjun to eat was only a few kinds.

You could count them on one paw.

Could it be... an earthworm?

The first thing that came to Xu Qiaoqiao's mind was this animal, but as soon as the thought came to her, she immediately rejected it. Forget it, she had never heard of a polar bear eating earthworms.

However, the mention of earthworms did evoke some memories for Xu Qiaoqiao.

I remember the first time I met Junjun, the food I found for him was earthworms.

He wouldn't eat it then.

When Xu Qiaoqiao thought about this, she remembered that those were earthworms she had painstakingly dug up, enduring her disgust as she dug them, only to find that the other party hadn't touched them at all.

As she pondered this, Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the polar bear. It was still eating slowly, without chewing, because the polar bear cherished its teeth and avoided biting whenever possible.

Watching his dragging movements, Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes unconsciously filled with tenderness. She leaned against the rock wall behind her, sitting there like a human, with her two hind legs slightly bent and her front legs placed on her hind legs, supporting her chin.

But... it's so good that we can still be together, Junjun!

Seemingly sensing the little fox's gaze, Jun Qi paused in his eating. When he looked up, he was met with that gentle gaze. He was stunned for a moment, and then felt somewhat at a loss.

"Ugh."

He scratched his ear sheepishly, not daring to look the little fox in the eye. When he did, he felt embarrassed and his face burned. Jun Qi didn't understand what this meant.

He just felt really embarrassed.

Under Xu Qiaoqiao's clingy gaze, Jun Qi finished eating the lemmings, then cleaned his paws, stretched out his arm, and scooped the little fox into his arms.

"Eeeeeeoooo." Jun Qi looked at the little fox with bright eyes. When he saw the surprise in the fox's eyes, he winked mischievously, finding the little fox's bewildered look quite adorable.

He sat there, lifted the little fox up, and slowly swayed it up and down in the air a few times.

It's like an adult amusing a child.

This gesture is one of the few things Jun Qi remembers. He recalls that when he was a child, his mother did this to him to make him happy.

Lift him up high!

Xu Qiaoqiao also smiled in agreement.

The two played in that position for a while, then Jun Qi put Xu Qiaoqiao down. Xu Qiaoqiao called out to Jun Qi a few times, then pointed to the food scraps they had left behind.

Jun Qi was very familiar with this action; it meant: bury these things.

Jun Qi was, of course, very happy to agree.
