Four or five months, that's a bit long.

After realizing this, Xu Qiaoqiao began to actively prepare for hibernation.

Now is the best time for leaves to fall. They have just fallen from the branches, and the past few days have been sunny, so the leaves are particularly dry.

It feels like it's carrying the scent of sunshine.

If it were before, she would have felt very sorry for herself if she had known she would be sleeping in a pile of fallen leaves. What's the difference between sleeping in a pile of fallen leaves and sleeping on the street?

Now, things are different.

Since dressing up as an animal, she has discovered that those piles of dead leaves are really good stuff.

If you arrange it well, it can be said to be airtight.

The wind can't even get through the leaves.

And with the thorns on its back, it's really warm.

Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao get down to the ground and start clearing away some fallen leaves, Jun Qi became even more puzzled.

I don't understand what this means?

He remembered that the nest was fine and didn't need reinforcement.

After securing the fallen leaves with grass, Xu Qiaoqiao piled them all on her back. From a distance, she looked like a white hedgehog with a large swollen sac.

Okay, that's enough for today.

Xu Qiaoqiao slowly climbed onto Jun Qi's head, and then... refused to move anymore.

I'm so tired. I already lack exercise, and these past few days, with Jun Qi keeping me so rested, I've become even more sedentary.

Seeing this, Jun Qi felt relieved, but he still had some doubts.

After seeing Xu Qiaoqiao do this for several days in the following days, I roughly understood that the little hedgehog was looking for this thing, although I didn't understand what its purpose was.

So one day, after Xu Qiaoqiao finished building her sleeping place, she saw Jun Qi finish eating, but instead of resting as usual, he turned around and flew down again.

A few minutes later, Xu Qiaoqiao saw a dark shadow slowly rising from below, not even reaching her head. When Xu Qiaoqiao looked up, she was unexpectedly hit on the head by a pile of fallen leaves.

Wow!

With a few rustling sounds, Xu Qiaoqiao was covered by fallen leaves, and her figure disappeared instantly.

Oh my god, Junjun, you're amazing!

Exhausted, Xu Qiaoqiao crawled out of the pile of leaves. She looked up at Jun Qi, then looked around and found that the leaves had completely covered the nest.

What did Junjun do?

Now I don't have to worry about fallen leaves anymore. I can just wait until the time comes, say goodbye to Junjun, and then enjoy a peaceful hibernation.

Xu Qiaoqiao was happy and went up to kiss Jun Qi several times. Jun Qi was currently nestled in the nest, squatting inside, so his body looked shorter than usual.

Xu Qiaoqiao kissed Jun Qi without much effort.

This time, Jun Qi wasn't dumbfounded like before. After getting these fallen leaves for Xu Qiaoqiao, he quietly watched her.

Upon sensing the other person's joyful mood, Jun Qi knew that his guess was correct.

The little hedgehog really only wanted these fallen leaves.

Jun Qi turned his head away. Their current body size difference made kissing unsuitable. So, he simply gently rubbed his beak against the softest spot on Xu Qiaoqiao's belly.

It was like the gesture between the closest of friends. I don't know where this little hedgehog's enthusiasm comes from, nor do I know why I am so nice to this little hedgehog.

Xu Qiaoqiao often thought that if this weren't an ordinary world, it would be great if there were some mystical elements here.

Actually, for animals nowadays, the level of danger is about the same whether it's the ordinary world or the world of cultivation, except that there are a few more dangerous aspects.

Xu Qiaoqiao kissed Jun Qi's eyes, her gaze unconsciously carrying a hint of longing.

However, this is good enough.

You are still by my side, and we will meet again.

Finally, before the first snow of winter arrived.

Xu Qiaoqiao has entered hibernation.
