After filling his stomach, Aikel brought over a bottle of medicine and some bandages; it was time to change Junqi's dressing.
Xu Qiaoqiao watched Ai Keli's actions quietly from the side. When the bandages were removed and the scars were exposed in front of her, Xu Qiaoqiao sniffed and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.
The scars, which run from the red fox's chest down to its lower abdomen, are more than one; they look like they were made by some kind of sharp weapon or animal claws, and they haven't healed yet.
It must have hurt a lot.
Xu Qiaoqiao thought silently as she ate the fruit in small bites, watching Aikeli slowly apply the medicine to the wound and bandage it, covering almost half of his body. Aikeli even maliciously wrapped the bandage around Jun Qi's head a few times.
Finally, I tied it into a bow.
"..." The sadness she felt just now vanished instantly. Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Jun Qi, who was lying there like a grandpa, basking in the sun. He looked rather lazy. If it weren't for the bow in his hair, he would be quite handsome.
Xu Qiaoqiao blinked. After Ai Keli finished bandaging her wound, he walked away.
Jun Qi finally had time to look over. Seeing the little mole's chubby appearance, he didn't notice at all that a bow was tied around his head, and he was striking a very cool pose by the window.
"Little mole, what are you looking at?" He narrowed his eyes slightly and beckoned Xu Qiaoqiao with his paw, signaling her to come over.
Wow, Junjun's personality in this life seems quite different from before.
Xu Qiaoqiao slowly crawled over, poked at the bandages with her paws, her eyes fixed on the wounds she had just seen. Although the bow on Jun Qi's head looked a bit comical, she was still focused on the wounds.
How did you get these wounds?
She raised her head, her dark eyes looking at Jun Qi, and the concern and worry in them stunned him.
He lowered his eyes slightly, looking less and less interested in watching.
"Tell me, how did these wounds come about?" Xu Qiaoqiao crawled over and patted Jun Qi's forelimbs, wanting to know the answer.
Even though she knew the answer, she couldn't change anything, but Xu Qiaoqiao still wanted to know.
However, Jun Qi clearly didn't want to talk about these things.
"Can't I say?"
The little mole's soft voice rang out again. Jun Qi sighed, raised his paw, and rubbed the little guy's head.
"It's nothing. I was just accidentally injured while fighting with a wild beast. Don't worry about it."
For once, he wanted to comfort the little mole.
"I see." Xu Qiaoqiao nodded blankly, then suddenly stood up and hugged Jun Qi.
The sunlight streamed obliquely into the room, bathing the two little ones in its warmth. Every now and then, Ike would glance up and find the scene rather cozy.
...
O. and Henry arrived around noon. They ate some fruit first, and then came to take the little mole home.
When the two of them were about to take Xu Qiaoqiao back, Jun Qi stood on Ai Keli's shoulder, his eyes fixed on her, but he didn't say a word. He didn't make a sound until the two deer took the little mole back.
After watching the three little ones leave, Ekri raised his hand and patted Jun Qi's head, his voice tinged with amusement: "Since you can't bear to part with them, why don't you say so?"
Jun Qi gave Ai Keli a deep look, then turned around, jumped off Ai Keli, and returned to the spot where he had been lying.
“Hey, little fox, I raised you, I’m your owner, you should listen to me.” Ekri leaned against the doorway, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Upon hearing this, Jun Qi raised his eyes and said, "I told you I would repay you. I don't need a master. Whatever you want, I will get it for you, and I will repay you."
His brown eyes were filled with seriousness; he was very serious about what he was saying.
Although he was injured, he could still hunt and support himself... And then there was the little mole. When Jun Qi thought of this, he suddenly fell silent. He was somewhat surprised by this. He had only met the little mole today, but had he already taken her into consideration for the rest of his life?
Ekri raised an eyebrow slightly, walked towards the cauldron, processed the medicinal herbs, and looked at the fox that was spacing out over there, then suddenly laughed.
Tsk tsk, they care so much, yet they're still being stubborn.
However, considering that it had said it would eat people, this fox was indeed a bit rebellious. If it were any other small animal, it would have been scared away and disappeared.
Meanwhile, O and Henry escorted Xu Qiaoqiao home, and they made a promise to go out together again next time.
Pushing open the door, Xu Qiaoqiao discovered that Mole Dad and Mom hadn't returned yet; it would probably be several days before they came back.
She opened the window and peeked out. The bushes here were quite tall, though not as tall as those in the rainforest. Xu Qiaoqiao estimated that it was almost sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun was very bright.
When they returned, O and Henry gave Qiao Qiao some fruit, which they had picked along the way. The fruit was very fresh, and some of it still had water droplets on it.
After Xu Qiaoqiao finished processing the fruits, she looked at the empty room and suddenly felt a little bored. The mole couple were clearly not the type to enjoy reading; there was only some paper for writing letters in the house.
This is a fairy tale, and there are also those wizards. Thinking of the books in Ekri's place, and those cauldrons, herbs, glass bottles filled with colorful solutions, I also seem to have seen a hat.
It's that kind of wizard hat.
Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly became interested, but the distance was too far, and it would be difficult for her to get there on her own.
Perhaps next time, O. and Henry could take me along?
Xu Qiaoqiao thought about this possibility and suddenly laughed. This idea was very likely, and judging from the situation, the two of them often went to Ai Keli's place to steal fruit.
Next time, just say you've finished your fruit and want to eat more.
Xu Qiaoqiao had thought it all through.
Wait, that's not right.
She suddenly remembered something else. When the two of them brought her back, she should have asked them where they lived. Although they had agreed to hang out together, she didn't even know where they lived.
The mother mole might know, but she hasn't come back yet.
...
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Xu Qiaoqiao was still not awake.
But at that moment, there was a knock on the door. Xu Qiaoqiao was still asleep when the door was first knocked, but the other person did not seem to give up and continued to knock.
A minute later, Xu Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, struggled to wake up, and slowly got up to open the door for the other person.
"Little Mole".
As soon as Xu Qiaoqiao opened the door, she saw the red fox, which raised its eyebrows and smiled at her, striking what it thought was a very cool pose, its voice perhaps filled with a hint of flirtation.
