After shaking the fruit off, Xu Qiaoqiao dragged her increasingly large body and slowly walked forward.

Although she enjoyed eating the fruit, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't expect that even though she already had the ability to hunt, Jun Qi would still bring her earthworms.

Moreover, Xu Qiaoqiao had good reason to suspect that Jun Qi couldn't eat anymore, because it couldn't be that he was deliberately trying to play with her.

They've been married for so long, if that's really the reason, then there's just too much of a fuss about it.

But it sounds quite romantic.

He dug up an earthworm specifically just to play the "I feed you" game. Did he learn that from somewhere?

Xu Qiaoqiao was a little suspicious. After all, this situation is very common for birds, but the birds are only fed to chicks that have not yet learned to fly.

Looking at the owl's head stretched out in front of her, those beautiful eyes staring straight at her, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't know how to react for a moment. Jun Qi today was too unexpected.

Jun Qi's care for her before was because she was still a cub at that time, unable to take care of herself in many aspects of life, and lacked independence, so she needed to be taken care of. But she is no longer like that now.

"Chirp?"

Xu Qiaoqiao stared at Jun Qi with her big black eyes, as if they were saying: Darling, are you serious?

However, Jun Qi simply tilted his head, brought it even closer, and held the half-eaten earthworm in his mouth, wanting Xu Qiaoqiao to eat it.

Okay, looks like there's no escaping it.

It's okay to go along with him, after all, I'm a very good partner.

Thinking this, Xu Qiaoqiao brought her mouth close, used her two paws to support Jun Qi's beak, and ate the earthworm bit by bit.

Seeing the little hedgehog's obedient behavior, Jun Qi was very satisfied. He fed her the remaining earthworms in the same way.

But Xu Qiaoqiao really couldn't eat anymore. She patted her belly, which seemed to have become round again. This was not good.

I promised myself I'd lose weight.

If you can't eat, then I'll feed you.

Xu Qiaoqiao brought her mouth to Jun Qi's lips and took the remaining half of the earthworm, but she really didn't want to eat it, so she brought her mouth to his lips again and gave it back to him.

Although the owl's beak is hooked, this didn't pose a problem for Xu Qiaoqiao, since the height difference between the two was already just right and wouldn't hurt her.

How could Jun Qi not eat what the little hedgehog gave him?

So, Jun Qi opened his mouth and swallowed the earthworm. Earthworms are cartilaginous animals, so there was nothing indigestible for Jun Qi, and he didn't spit out any bone balls.

The two of them shared an earthworm. Although Jun Qi initially intended to feed it all to Xu Qiaoqiao, things were going quite well now.

Jun Qi leaned over and touched the little hedgehog's nose with his beak, as if he were kissing it. He even rubbed against it a few times. Xu Qiaoqiao blushed a little. Jun Qi seemed to be overly enthusiastic tonight.

Pink bubbles appeared around them.

"Chirp chirp".

"Coo coo".

...

Around the beginning of October, Bai Fei came back to see Xu Qiaoqiao. She brought a lot of fruit and meat with her, but she also brought Meng Qinghe with her.

Bai Fei was still rambling on about things. Wang Shi had already been buried, Bai Qing was still acting crazy, and Xu Qian was not doing so well. He was currently under house arrest, and all his previous possessions had been confiscated. It was said that he had also been severely beaten.

This is the best news Xu Qiaoqiao has heard all year, bar none.

Meng Qinghe sat quietly to one side reading a book, without making a sound.

They stayed there for one night and then left.

Bai Fei has really grown up a lot recently, especially in terms of height. She has grown a lot taller. Watching the two of them walk away, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk tsk, what a perfect couple!"

Moreover, Meng Qinghe is not yet an adult, unlike Xu Qian, who is an old cow eating young grass.

Xu Qiaoqiao really loves autumn. In autumn, the temperature slowly drops, but it's not as cold as winter; it's a very comfortable temperature.

But in fact, spring is the same, only it has a different meaning for small animals.

This was still quite embarrassing for Xu Qiaoqiao, but the problem was actually easy to solve: as long as Jun Qi was a male hedgehog, they could have babies.

Xu Qiaoqiao felt a pang of regret whenever she thought of her baby.

She looked at the tall man lying beside her, a smile unconsciously appearing in her eyes, and gently stroked his feathers with her paw.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that this was how it was in my past life; we didn't even have a child together.

In their past lives, they were at least mammals, but because of reproductive isolation (seriously, they've all started cultivating immortality, so why hasn't anyone solved this problem yet?), it's really not possible, even though Jun Qi is in human form now.

However, that's a cultivation world. If Xu Qiaoqiao really shows a strong desire to have a child, Jun Qi will probably find a way to help her.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Qiaoqiao felt a little regretful. At the time, she hoped that Junjun would not be so hasty for her and that things would take their natural course, so she did not force it. If she had forced it, would the result have been different?

The answer to this question will probably never be known.

Owls hatch their young, right? Xu Qiaoqiao blinked, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind: since they didn't have any offspring, why didn't she and Jun Qi just go and pick one up?
