The next morning, Bai Fei woke up groggily.

"Hiss~"

As soon as she moved, she felt a headache, especially on her forehead. She struggled to touch that spot and touched a damp area. Bai Fei frowned.

What is this?

She raised her hand; it was green sap. She brought it to her nose and smelled it; it seemed to smell like herbs. Was she injured?

Bai Fei finally came to her senses. She slowly sat up from the ground and noticed that there was a little hedgehog sleeping on her abdomen. It was all white and, judging by its size, it was only a few days old.

Bai Fei looked around again. Tall trees formed a wall of shade, and there was no one around. Where was this place?

Hiss~

Suddenly, a flood of memories rushed in, and it took her several minutes to realize that she had transmigrated.

Moreover, she was dressed as an ugly girl who was pushed down a hillside by her own sister and died. This whole thing seems very troublesome.

Bai Fei frowned, which suddenly aggravated her injury. She gasped for breath, which pulled her out of her memories and focused her attention on the little hedgehog.

Not only that, but she also saw that the rocks not far away were covered in green sap, and there was a black scorpion carelessly thrown to the side. Only then did Bai Fei realize that it was this little guy who had saved her.

At this moment, Xu Qiaoqiao also woke up. She stretched out her whole body and gave a big yawn.

Mmm~ I slept so well.

Xu Qiaoqiao yawned and slowly sat up. As soon as she looked up, she met Bai Fei's eyes.

Xu Qiaoqiao: ...

"Chirp chirp".

Bai Fei looked at the little guy, smiled, and said softly, "Thank you, little guy."

Xu Qiaoqiao shook her head: "Chirp." No need to be polite.

For Bai Fei, transmigrating was a dizzying experience, but having a second life was even more precious. Staying in the wild in her current state was very dangerous, so the most important thing right now was to go back. Although her original sister wasn't very good, her parents still doted on her, so going back was the best option.

Bai Fei carefully lifted the little hedgehog off her body and placed it on the ground on the other side. Then she slowly got up from the ground, shook her head, and was still a little dizzy.

Xu Qiaoqiao licked her paws and yawned. She looked up at Bai Fei and saw the female lead with a conflicted expression. Although it was impolite to say that, from her angle, she really looked like a green-faced demon.

That bluish spot looked even more terrifying.

Then she heard Bai Fei mutter, "Forget it, let's just take this little hedgehog with us for now. We can always keep it outside."

Upon hearing Bai Fei's words, Xu Qiaoqiao almost jumped for joy, realizing that Bai Fei was considering this matter. However, she also felt a little ashamed because she had just mentally accused Bai Fei of being a Green-Faced Rakshasa Demon.

Future pet owner here!

Bai Fei squatted down, trying her best to appear gentle, but with that pale face, the word "gentle" was completely out of the question for her.

"Little hedgehog, would you like me to take you with me? I will take good care of you."

As he spoke, he placed his hands in front of Xu Qiaoqiao, letting her make her own choice.

As for whether the little hedgehog could understand her, she had long since overlooked that. Since the little hedgehog could apply medicine to her and save her, it must be sentient. Even if it couldn't understand human language, it could still sense her thoughts.

Upon hearing Bai Fei's words, Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes immediately lit up, and without much thought, she climbed up.

Bai Fei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily. She hugged the little hedgehog and walked back home along the route she remembered, picking some fruit to eat along the way.

During this season, the most abundant and ubiquitous plant in the deep mountains and forests is the raspberry.

Xu Qiaoqiao ate the fruit that the female lead fed her, feeling incredibly content. Sure enough, her decision was right.

The journey was too long, and the female lead was also injured, so she didn't walk very fast. She even rested here for a night. When it was light again, Bai Fei felt much clearer-headed. As for the herbs on her forehead, she had already changed them.

When Xu Qiaoqiao woke up, she was in front of a wooden house, and she was placed in a small nest. Outside the nest was a small basket, and inside the nest was a cloth-lined area.

"Oh! You're awake."

Xu Qiaoqiao heard a surprised voice. She looked over and saw that it was the female lead's voice. Bai Fei walked over, sat on the stool, and smiled as she met Xu Qiaoqiao's gaze.

She had just given that ungrateful sister a good beating and was overjoyed.

"Chirp chirp." Xu Qiaoqiao called out, her small eyes bright and filled with confusion. She had just woken up and her mind was still a bit foggy.

Judging from the female lead's mood, something good must have happened.

After that, Bai Fei rambled on about what had happened to Xu Qiaoqiao that day and her own feelings. Perhaps because Xu Qiaoqiao was the first person she met in this world, she had a special feeling for this little hedgehog.

Xu Qiaoqiao was quite comfortable as a listener. She leaned against the soft fabric, eating the fruit the female lead had brought her, and was just short of crossing her legs.

After she finished speaking, Xu Qiaoqiao finished eating the fruit. Bai Fei rested her chin on her arm and brought her face very close to Xu Qiaoqiao's. Xu Qiaoqiao looked so cute when she was eating.
