—JunJun, look over there, Peter and Ed are still awake.
Why aren't you asleep so late?
Jun Qi looked over there and saw that the tents were still lit up. He was a little curious. In his mind, humans sleep at night and go to bed very early.
These two humans are somewhat different.
The two of them tiptoed towards that direction, with Xu Qiaoqiao lying on top of Jun Qi, listening intently to the conversation inside.
"Ed, I've made up my mind. Let's leave in three days."
—Are you willing to leave these little guys behind?
His words carried a clear sense of surprise.
—We have to be willing to part with it, though. We've used up almost everything we brought, and we've been here for too long.
—You actually knew that? You know, the original plan was to stay here for three months, but now it's been almost four months.
—Oh, I know that, but those little guys were just too cute, I couldn't resist.
Especially Joe, those eyes are so lively, looking at you with a mischievous glint in them, it's really hard to resist.
Peter's face lit up with a bright smile whenever he thought about it.
—Are you really sure?
—Yes, and with the editing time, we'll have to hurry when it's submitted to the competition.
While Peter was speaking, he was already packing up some equipment.
Seeing Peter's actions, Ed knew that this was indeed what he meant, and he felt relieved, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
I can finally leave this world.
The two guys eavesdropping outside.
Jun Qi: "..."
Xu Qiaoqiao: "!!!"
Are they leaving?
—I won't allow it!
Xu Qiaoqiao shouted, and Jun Qi, upon hearing her shout, also shouted.
This undoubtedly alerted the two humans inside the tent.
Inside the tent, the two suddenly stopped talking. For a moment, even the lights seemed to freeze for a second. Three seconds later...
Who is it? Who is it?
Who's there?
Peter and Ed rushed out with a weapon in hand, only to find Jun and Joe standing in front of their tent. The night was dark, and their figures looked very wet.
It's exactly what it sounds like—damp and wet. After all, they'd been wandering around outside for so long, and their fur was already soaked. Even though Xu Qiaoqiao was using a small leaf as an umbrella, it couldn't cover her entire body.
"Oh, you're back! Welcome back! Did you have fun going out tonight?" Upon seeing Jun and Joe, Peter immediately relaxed his guard and smiled gently at them.
Ed put down his weapon and laughed along.
Xu Qiaoqiao climbed down from Jun Qi's back and ran over to Peter. Peter obediently squatted down, patted the little one's head, and spoke gently:
"You both heard what we just said, right? Ed and I are leaving in three days."
"Waaah." I don't want you to leave.
Xu Qiaoqiao called out a few times, stretched out her little mustache, touched the hem of Peter's clothes, and called out very reluctantly.
If you leave, Junjun and I will have to start eating raw meat again.
Peter was very happy when he heard this, and he boasted to Ed, "Look, Ed, Joe understood what I said, and she seems very reluctant to part with me."
Ed smiled and said, "I can tell. Joe is very smart."
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Jun, who was lying there unguarded, licking his paws. He seemed to sense his gaze and looked up at him.
"Chirp?"
Ed smiled, walked over, and patted Jun Qi's head.
"Waaah." Xu Qiaoqiao tugged at Peter's clothes, her clothes showing signs of rain, and she looked completely soaked. Her posture made her look really pitiful.
Could you please stay a little longer? I know you two have already stayed longer than planned, but we're friends now, and it's hard to say goodbye.
I don't know when I'll be able to eat cooked food again.
Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao like this, Peter's smile deepened. He picked up the little one and gently stroked her back, but of course he dared not touch her tail, because if he did, the jaguar next to him would bark and growl at him.
"Although I've been very happy living here for the past few months, little one, we'll have to part ways sooner or later."
This place does not belong to us.
Peter and Ed had never imagined that the little otter could understand them, but of course, it was fine even if they had realized it, since some small animals in the world are very intelligent and can sense some of the emotional changes in humans.
In their eyes, Jun and Qiao were both such little guys.
...
Three days passed quickly. That morning, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi woke up early and found that the tent had been taken down.
Peter and Ed had tidied up everything they could. When they looked over at Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, they met each other's eyes. Oh, the two adorable little ones were already awake.
Xu Qiaoqiao jumped up from the ground and ran over there with Jun Qi. Peter and Ed squatted down and stretched out their hands. Xu Qiaoqiao offered her paw, and Jun Qi did the same.
