Xu Qiaoqiao: I... thank you.

Luckily, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't know; if she had, she would definitely have laughed.

While it's true that hedgehogs eat earthworms, she doesn't.

After all, no hedgehog is like her, possessing a human soul.

Xu Qiaoqiao licked her lips, cleaning up the bloodstains around her. Then, seeing the rat she had gnawed halfway through, she suddenly realized that her appetite seemed to have increased.

Huh?

Wow, you can do that?

Xu Qiaoqiao immediately remembered that when she transmigrated, it was June, and the baby hedgehog had just been born not long before, so it was also born in June.

Moreover, she was born not long ago, and her mother wasn't even around. If she's a white hedgehog, then her mother must also be a white hedgehog, but there seem to be very few white hedgehogs in this forest.

From June until now, it's almost over... more than July.

Have I really been in this world for more than seven months?

This...does that mean I'll be an adult soon?

Xu Qiaoqiao was lost in a jumble of thoughts, and unconsciously, her rich imagination ran wild again, with some meat crumbs still in her mouth.

"Ugh..."

Suddenly, something soft was fed into Xu Qiaoqiao's mouth. She subconsciously bit into it a few times, and it tasted pretty good.

What is this? It tastes pretty good—it's an earthworm!

Xu Qiaoqiao felt that the contents inside her no longer smelled very good, and she could feel them still moving inside. She opened her mouth, wanting to spit them out.

Unexpectedly, Jun Qi fed him another half of it.

They fed him mouth-to-mouth!

It's like a mother bird feeding her baby birds.

Xu Qiaoqiao: ...

Let me have some peace and quiet.

You dare to spit it out and try?

Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao's expression, Jun Qi finally understood what the little hedgehog had been doing by opening its mouth. He had thought it was hungry again.

So I quickly fed him the remaining half.

The opposite happened; this guy actually wanted to vomit.

Jun Qi narrowed his eyes, his large eyes narrowing to just slits, looking particularly comical, as if he was deliberately trying to make people laugh.

However, Xu Qiaoqiao, facing Jun Qi, did not think so. She saw a glint in Jun Qi's eyes and was a little puzzled.

Was Junjun yelling at me just now?

Did Junjun just yell at me?

How dare Junjun yell at me?!

Xu Qiaoqiao was shocked. Her mouth was stuffed so full that her cheeks were bulging, making her look quite cute.

You're being mean to me!

Xu Qiaoqiao turned her back and started to act childish, puffing up her cheeks. But even so, she still ate the earthworms that Jun Qi had fed her.

Well, the taste isn't bad.

Hedgehogs take 50 days to grow from birth to adulthood, and Xu Qiaoqiao is now considered an adult, not nearly an adult.

Even Xu Qiaoqiao herself didn't realize this, since she spent most of her time sleeping.

So she had no idea that she might be going into heat this spring.

Jun Qi probably sensed that Xu Qiaoqiao was angry, but he didn't know why the little hedgehog was angry, even though he was doing it for her own good.

Owls are quite intelligent, but they are mostly spiritual beings. Although in some records, they seem to be the embodiment of wisdom, like Athena.

That's not an exact description, but it's a good idea.

They probably don't even know that they've been elevated to such a level and are admired by humans.

Furthermore, some people believe that owls are truly intelligent, so in many places, they greatly admire and adore them.

In some places, owls are even used as totems, and of course, their appearance plays a large part in this.

They all felt that if they could keep such an owl at home, it would bring them blessings.

However, even though this bird was so intelligent, Jun Qi didn't know why Xu Qiaoqiao would get angry at this moment.

Is it my own fault?

But I didn't do anything wrong, did I?

Could it be that I haven't fed her enough?

Jun Qi looked at Xu Qiaoqiao. From his perspective, he could easily see Xu Qiaoqiao's chubby cheeks moving around, clearly indicating that she was eating.

Look, the little hedgehog is eating very happily.

So it must be my mistake; the little hedgehog wasn't unhappy.

Although animals are very sensitive to emotions, they are just too dull to understand them.

After Xu Qiaoqiao finished eating all the earthworms, she smacked her lips a few times and realized she was still not full. Good heavens, what's wrong with her? She'd only slept for a little over a month!

How come your appetite has suddenly become so big?

Fortunately, Junjun brought a lot of food this time, which was enough for them to share.

"Coo coo".

The hooting of an owl sounded from behind, and without a doubt, it was the bird.

After sulking with herself for five minutes, Xu Qiaoqiao calmed down and decided that Junjun was a bird now, and its brain structure was very different from that of humans.

Even compared to a hedgehog, it is different.

So why are you angry with him?

After Xu Qiaoqiao made up her mind, she turned back. She looked up at the fluffy bird. Because it was crouching and there were many dead leaves in the nest, only its fluffy head was showing.

It looks like it's very cute to pet.

Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt a little itchy to touch her hands.

He did what he said he would do.

Xu Qiaoqiao's bad mood comes and goes quickly, and at the same time, many strange things pop into her mind, causing her to have severe thought disorder.

The latter thing has absolutely nothing to do with the former thing.

Then she went to Jun Qi and reached out to touch his head. During the time she was sleeping, she had unknowingly grown a little taller.

It's so soft and fluffy, so comfortable!

As Xu Qiaoqiao stroked the fur, she buried her head in the pile of fur and began to breathe.

She's probably the first white hedgehog to be able to sniff an owl.

Xu Qiaoqiao had only this one thought left in her mind.

Jun Qi was quite happy to be nuzzled like that. He spread his wings and, like a mother bird, sheltered Xu Qiaoqiao inside them.

This made Xu Qiaoqiao feel even more comfortable.

Because of the thorns on Xu Qiaoqiao's back, Jun Qi didn't dare to hug her too tightly, for fear of piercing himself, even though the thorns on her body had been flattened.

The hedgehog's quills now look much harder, and it can no longer be hugged without restraint.

However, Xu Qiaoqiao was still very happy. Her two short legs were shaking and her bottom was swaying. This behavior was simply abnormal for a hedgehog.

Xu Qiaoqiao thought sweetly that they were probably the only animals in the world that were so sticky while eating.
