—Let's go back to find him.

It wasn't completely dark yet, but it already looked quite dim.

Walking back the way they came, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi saw A Jin lying on the ground.

"Eek!"

"Chirp!"

The two of them quickly ran over and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Ah Jin's eyes were still moving. They then worked together to help the guy up. During this time, Ah Jin only moved his eyes slightly and did not make any other movements.

A sense of sorrow seemed to emanate from his eyes.

It's really old; it can't even stand up anymore.

Because of this incident, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi kept a close eye on A Jin in the days that followed. If the old guy was unwilling to admit defeat and tried to climb the tree again, they would slap him with their claws and then give him a good scolding.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand the language, as long as you can tell that he's being insulted.

Every time Ah Jin was stopped, he would snort at the two of them and then slink away. He wouldn't go far because the two of them were always watching him, like they were taking turns.

Even if it's not for my own sake, I can't go too far for their sake.

He could tell that the two men were quite old.

They are getting old too.

Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi didn't really have a better way to deal with such a stubborn old man. It was just a contest of who was more stubborn. Fortunately, they had two of them, so it was a one-on-two battle, and they won completely!

After that, Akin stopped moving.

Gradually, this kind of life continued for half a year.

As the rainy season transitioned into the dry season, during one of Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi's hunting trips, A Jin looked at the familiar place, the air filled with a familiar scent, a place filled with many wonderful memories.

From their initial misunderstanding that led to friendship, to his persistent insistence on following them, and finally to becoming close companions, Ah Jin reflected on these events.

Slowly, he laughed, patted his head, and a few cloudy tears streamed from the corners of his eyes, blurring the scenery before him.

I'm so reluctant to part with you two, but I'm sorry.

They're still leading the way this time.

I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep. I'm not eating dinner this time, you two can share it, maybe I'll wake up then.

Akin had a premonition that after falling asleep this time, he might never wake up again.

Thinking about these things.

Finally, all was pitch black.
