"What do you not want?"

Jiao Su carried a basket bigger than himself in one hand, and walked in with long legs and an air of nobility.

Hearing the voice, Sheng Xia turned around in surprise: "Su Su is back~"

Looking at Sheng Xia, her calm, golden eyes rippled slightly: "Yes, I'm back. There's some sesame seeds today. Xia Xia, how would you like to eat them?"

Xingmu dropped it and ran, afraid that he would catch up and give him coins, so he didn't even have time to thank him.

Well... judging from Xia Xia's state, he'll join this big family sooner or later, so there's no need to be as polite as you would to other beasts.

Podophyllum?

"Let's make it with the cuckoo bird; Aoki just hunted one this morning~"

Shengxia's eyes lit up. She walked over, tiptoed, and kissed Jiaosu. Looking down at the basket on her back, she saw a dazzling array of incredibly fresh and tender mushrooms.

So many varieties... they all look delicious. I wonder how big Xingmu's house is, and whether he can grow them all.

Moreover... cultivating mushrooms requires both ventilation and a suitable temperature, which is too difficult to achieve in this cold, snowy season.

Thinking of his swollen fingers, Sheng Xia bit her lower lip and a hint of pity flashed in her eyes.

This Star Shepherd must have suffered a lot.

What a silly little boy...

Xingmu felt a tickle on the tip of his nose, turned his head to avoid the mushrooms in front of him, sneezed loudly, and then went out to wash his hands and rearrange the neatly arranged wooden shelves.

He carefully placed the newly found piece of rotten wood, poured warm water on it, planted the roots of the fungi he had found on it, then opened the window of another room and lit the kang (heated brick bed).

Ventilation is used to raise the indoor temperature at the same time.

He pondered for a long time, analyzing the growth environment of fungi in the jungle, and came to this conclusion.

It requires specific types of decayed wood, and also a warm, humid, and well-ventilated environment.

At first, he had no clue what to do, but he tried little by little until he successfully grew the fungus and determined the important factors such as the required temperature and moisture.

Xingmu stared at the new variety of mushroom with his clear eyes, gently grasped the mushroom in his hand, and twisted it off.

This allows its roots to be preserved, enabling it to continue growing.

"Alright, I'll eat you today~" Xingmu said happily, blinking his blue eyes and raising an innocent smile on his lips.

If it tastes good and isn't poisonous, I can give it to Sister Shengxia tomorrow so she can try it...

At this very moment, in the Shengxia family's large villa.

The entrance to the heated floor was filled with firewood, and the room was as warm as a flowery spring.

In the height of summer, she sat in a rocking chair, enjoying a massage from Fox Snow, her feet dangling and gently rocking, humming a lighthearted tune.

The children were discussing what their teacher had talked about at school that day in the living room. Tie Yue stared intently at Lang Ge, her chubby little face full of excitement.

"Brother A-Ge, could you teach me?"

Upon hearing this, Lang Ge smiled, his beautiful eyes lowered slightly as he gazed at the obedient Tie Yue, patted the top of her head, and chuckled softly.

"Okay, Yueyue, ask away, and your brother will teach you."

It's rare to see a younger sister so eager to learn, so he will teach her everything he knows until she learns it.

The next second, Tie Yue said seriously, "Brother, you're so kind! I want to know how to become as smart as you."

Just as Lang Ge was about to speak, she slowly added, "I think a method to become smarter without learning is very necessary."

After speaking, she looked at Lang Ge expectantly, her thick, long eyelashes blinking rapidly.

Wolf Song: "..." He didn't know the answer to his sister's question!

what to do?

Seeing this, Sheng Xia chuckled softly.

Hearing his mother's voice, Lang Ge instantly felt emboldened and turned to silently ask his mother for help.

When Shengxia received a pleading look, she stood up and walked over, with Hu Xue following closely behind.

She squatted down next to Tie Yue, smiling indulgently, and gently poked her forehead: "No one can learn without studying. If you want to know a lot and become smart, you have to study hard."

Tie Yue was still all smiles. She affectionately hugged Sheng Xia's arm and said in a childish voice.

"Mom, I know." If only there were superpowers that allowed me to become smart without studying!

Jiao Su walked up to Sheng Xia, stretched out his long arms, which he had rubbed warm beforehand, and wrapped them around her waist. His golden eyes looked at her intently, his expression serious.

Sheng Xia suddenly felt nervous. She turned to face Jiao Su, tilting her head up in confusion and looking at him expectantly.

"Susu~ What's wrong?"

What's wrong? Why do you look so serious?

This made her a little nervous.

"Xiaxia, you're so beautiful." Jiao Su's eyes curved into a barely perceptible smile as she spoke in a clear and elegant voice.

No wonder so many males are secretly eyeing her; she's so wonderful, it's hard for any animal not to love her.

I'm so lucky to be liked by Xiaxia.

We must cherish it even more in the days to come.

In the height of summer, she playfully raised her eyes, a mischievous glint in them.

"SuSu has great taste, and you're beautiful too~"

A doting smile flashed in Jiao Su's golden eyes. He reached out and gently stroked her chin before parting his thin lips slightly.

"Yes, they all look good. Xiaxia, sit here for a while, I'll go check on the kitchen."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned down and gently kissed her forehead, then got up and strode off to the kitchen to help.

Sheng Xia leaned back in her rocking chair, which began to sway. She comfortably closed her eyes, enjoying the rare tranquility.

Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her shoulder, followed by a slight stinging pain. She turned around and was met with a handsome, refined face right in front of her.

The scorching breath sprayed on her neck, and Shengxia blushed and said coquettishly, "Fox, are you going to eat a beast?"

Fox Snow's eyes lit up with excitement: "Is it possible?"

"Can't!"

They're saying the same thing, right?

In the height of summer, her cheeks flushed rapidly. She gave Hu Xue a shy and reproachful look, which made Hu Xue's heart race.

His alluring, handsome face suddenly loomed closer, and she stared wide-eyed.

The next second, his lips landed on her eyelids.

In the sweltering summer, she subconsciously closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering slightly as she felt an undeniable warmth on her eyelids.

First the left eye, then the right eye.

A tender kiss, their breaths hot.

The clean and refreshing jasmine scent grows stronger and stronger; it smells wonderful and is perfect for the height of summer.

After a brief pause, Hu Xue opened her shimmering eyes and gazed at Sheng Xia, a smile playing on her lips as she murmured softly.

"Sister Xiaxia, do you know how cute and charming you are when you glare at a beast? It makes people want to..."

He suddenly leaned closer and whispered a word in her ear.

Sheng Xia's eyes widened instantly. She turned around in disbelief, wanting to glare at him, but then abruptly looked away.

Just as I was about to speak, my lips went soft.

………………

The moon rises above the treetops.

Fox Snow looked at Sheng Xia, who was sleeping soundly, and was extremely satisfied. If he could, he hoped that Sister Xia Xia would not accept that scorpion.

I always felt that he was too preoccupied with his thoughts.

If Fox Snow were in modern times, she would definitely say that Xingmu is like black sesame dumplings.

Xiaxia seems smart, but she's actually very naive.

But she likes it, so whatever... as long as she's happy.
