In March alone, Xu Qiaoqiao witnessed Jun Qi being proposed to more than once.
It seems that Jun Qi is truly one of the most outstanding members of the owl community.
They're in high demand!
Most importantly, no matter what kind of female owl it is, Junjun remains unmoved; she's either going to fight or on her way to fight.
A sense of pride unconsciously rose in Xu Qiaoqiao's heart.
This March, Xu Qiaoqiao's daily pleasure was watching to see if a female owl would come and court Junjun.
Then Junjun would reveal an aggressive stance to scare them away. Occasionally, Junqi would also feel annoyed and couldn't help himself, so he would take the initiative to provoke other powerful birds of prey. After the duel, Xu Qiaoqiao could enjoy delicious food.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Usually at times like this, Xu Qiaoqiao would be hidden away by Jun Qi, who would then give her one of his own feathers. This way, the little hedgehog would be protected by its own scent and wouldn't be attacked by other animals that didn't know what was going on.
But by April, she no longer had the leisure to enjoy it, because the hedgehog's mating season had arrived.
It seems that Jun Qi also discovered this matter. At the end of March, Jun Qi began to build up his small nest and also began to stockpile food.
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't understand the meaning behind Jun Qi's actions, but she felt inexplicably shy.
As for Jun Qi, well, for a male owl to pursue a female owl, he needs to be wealthy, just like that bold and unconventional female.
As April arrived, Xu Qiaoqiao felt that familiar feeling return.
This year she's a two-year-old hedgehog. Two years old is still a baby for humans, but for a hedgehog, it's been an adult for quite some time.
They are about to complete one-third of their life journey, after all, the lifespan of a hedgehog is only five to seven years, similar to that of an owl.
I wonder who will get ahead of Junjun this time?
Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself in a daze.
No one can answer this question.
For Xu Qiaoqiao, who has already gone through this stage, the only thing to do is to ignore it or exercise more. There's nothing else she can do. And every time this happens, she won't go down with Jun Qi, because that would be too much of a test of her willpower.
I'm so tired. Who knows if I'll run into another male hedgehog like last time?
Xu Qiaoqiao simply couldn't imagine this.
At night, a few mischievous little stars dotted the sky. They smiled and blinked at the creatures on the ground, as if they were playing and laughing.
The earth fell asleep, except for the gentle breeze that blew away the daytime heat.
The nocturnal animals are about to wake up and get to work.
"Coo coo".
Jun Qi slowly climbed up from beside Xu Qiaoqiao. He gently poked Xu Qiaoqiao's belly with his beak, wanting her to come down and hunt with him.
Moreover, having a small animal on his back makes fighting a bit more difficult, which Jun Qi likes.
"Chirp chirp." No!
Xu Qiaoqiao pushed Jun Qi's beak away, her wet eyes glaring at him accusingly. Honestly, she finally fell asleep, what was wrong with her? You know, being able to fall asleep at a time like this is a very happy thing.
"Coo coo," Jun Qi called out again.
Although he was also quite uncomfortable, he could still bear it and quietly squatted beside Xu Qiaoqiao, waiting for her to wake up.
Actually, Xu Qiaoqiao hadn't slept much. She hadn't fallen asleep since Jun Qi woke her up. After lying there for a minute or two, Xu Qiaoqiao finally gave in to Jun Qi and slowly got up from the ground.
As night fell, the vast forest turned a deep green. The summer forest was still quite lively, with the night owls becoming active. A gentle breeze blew, rippling through the leaves.
The hazy moonlight draped the forest in a thin veil.
Xu Qiaoqiao lay on Jun Qi's back, sinking into his thick fur. To be honest, she wasn't feeling well either, but thankfully, this was just the beginning, and there would always be a way.
Tonight's dinner consists of four field mice, wild berries that Jun Qi picked from the tree, and a few earthworms that he caught. Some of the earthworms were stolen from him; there was nothing he could do about it, given how powerful he is now.
Moreover, when owls are in heat and their restlessness cannot be vented, their attacks can be even more intense than usual.
The field mouse was torn open by Jun Qi. Xu Qiaoqiao didn't eat the skin, and neither did Jun Qi, but he could eat it first and then spit it out.
This is a skill that Xu Qiaoqiao cannot master for the time being.
However, Xu Qiaoqiao can still tear apart field mouse meat.
So Jun Qi stepped on the field mouse with one paw, bit it, and tore it open. Just as he was about to tear one open, he heard a tearing sound coming from the side. He looked to the side.
I saw the little hedgehog using her claws to tear apart the field mouse meat. She bit down hard on a piece of meat and scratched it with her claws. Sometimes she would chirp impatiently because she was tearing it too slowly.
The little hedgehog also knows how to use her quills. She curls herself up into a ball, and the quills on her back immediately harden. Then she rolls around on the field mice.
After rolling it back and forth a few times, she found it much easier to tear the meat.
Jun Qi: ...
After tearing open a hole, Xu Qiaoqiao began to remove the internal organs. She didn't eat these things because they tasted strange, but Junjun did.
So, after Xu Qiaoqiao took out those internal organs, she stuffed them into Jun Qi's hands.
Jun Qi looked at the pile of entrails, feeling a mix of emotions. This seemed to be the first time he had been fed by the little hedgehog.
After tearing apart one field mouse, Xu Qiaoqiao immediately moved on to the next one. She felt like she had inexhaustible energy, and she could now try things that she couldn't do before.
She was like a ruthless machine, with the same routine. First, she rolled around with her thorns, then she started tearing, tearing open her belly. After making a small opening, she quickly reached in with her claws, pulled out the internal organs, and stuffed them into Jun Qi's place.
The movements were clean and swift, as if they had done it a thousand times.
But Jun Qi, who had always been with her, knew that this was only the first time.
Jun Qi made a cooing sound. Seeing that Xu Qiaoqiao had finished dealing with the three field mice, he stared at the one he was holding in his paw. He paused for a moment, then slowly moved his paw away.
Tonight's dinner was provided by Jun Qi, and Xu Qiaoqiao prepared it all by herself.
This was one of the few times Xu Qiaoqiao had gotten any exercise during this period. After filling her stomach, Xu Qiaoqiao tidied up her little apartment. Usually, this was Jun Qi's job. Jun Qi watched Xu Qiaoqiao finish all of this and stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do.
How about... we go fight?
After finishing all these tasks, which had exhausted most of her energy, Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt a little sleepy. She yawned, leaned over and rubbed her face against Jun Qi's, letting out a soft chirp.
Goodnight, Junjun.
Today is finally over.
