Chapter 349 - The Bear and the Fox



This summer was exceptionally long, lasting until the end of July.

The sweltering heat still lingered, but it didn't seem to bother Xu Qiaoqiao much. She spent the day cozying up in her little apartment with Jun Qi, and when they went out at night, it was by the sea.

The wind blowing in always has a cool feeling.

It was still the height of summer.

Arctic foxes shed their fur to adapt to the summer heat. Looking at the bright sun outside, Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly thought that shedding fur was not bad. It was a bit ugly, but it was cool. In addition, the little nest that Junjun found was very cool.

So, Xu Qiaoqiao should be gradually getting used to the shedding now, but Junjun isn't doing so well lately.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Jun Qi, who seemed to be sprawled out like a thin sheet of skin and stuck to the wall, and a hint of a smile flashed across her eyes. Jun Jun was really getting more and more silly.

It seems that the aloof Junjun is a thing of the past.

Could it be that he gets even more goofy with each passing world?

Xu Qiaoqiao sat opposite Jun Qi, her big tail swaying from time to time. She looked particularly sweet as she recalled the days she spent with Jun Jun, which made Xu Qiaoqiao even more determined in her idea.

Little silly boy.

She called out to Jun Qi in her heart, then walked over and patted his bear head.

Jun Qi felt Xu Qiaoqiao's caress, blinked, let out a soft "ee-ee," and stretched out his own paw to grab the little fox's paw, his paw large enough to completely envelop the little fox.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at their two tightly clenched paws, let out a soft hum, and felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Her tail wagged faster, revealing her owner's delighted mood.

However, unlike Arctic foxes, polar bears don't shed their fur. This thick layer of fur makes them suffer greatly in the summer, and coupled with the food shortage at this time, it is the most difficult period for polar bears.

If Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi could go out for a stroll during the day, they might see a few polar bears fighting.

They only had one purpose in fighting.

—Just bored.

Of course, there are a few polar bears that are different. They are about the same age as Junqi, and their purpose in fighting is to win the battle for mates next year.

When polar bears are in heat, if two males are interested in a female, it means they will have to fight to decide who gets the female.

However, this is not a problem for Jun Qi to consider at all.

Xu Qiaoqiao didn't mind the heat. She grunted a few times like a little pig, then moved closer to Jun Qi, pressed her face against his, closed her eyes, and rested quietly.

Actually, the two of them being so close together made it even hotter, but Xu Qiaoqiao had no choice.

Because Jun Qi had collected so much trash inside the cave, and he had also found a broken little basin with a huge hole in the bottom.

This place is like a junkyard.

Moreover, it seems that Jun Qi has had some strange switch flipped. Before, it was Xu Qiaoqiao who was enthusiastic about this, but now, Xu Qiaoqiao's obsession is not so strong, but Jun Qi has actually come to enjoy doing it.

At night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

Today is a good day. The moon hangs in the sky like a round plate, emitting a faint light, giving it a hazy appearance.

Xu Qiaoqiao stayed in the black backpack, peeking out every now and then to look at Jun Qi, afraid that he would bring back something else. Heaven knows how he found it; there was even a toy shaped like a little frog in the cave.

"Ugh."

Jun Qi turned his head and called out to Xu Qiaoqiao, his eyes sparkling, looking very happy.

Xu Qiaoqiao: ...

She was very familiar with this appearance.

Sure enough, Jun Qi soon handed over a small object, round like a ball, made of some unknown material, a bit hard, transparent in color, with some scratches on it.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the object and remained silent for a while.

"Ugh."

Jun Qi noticed that the little fox still hadn't taken the ball, so he called out again, urging the little fox to take it. This was the first time he had ever seen something like this, so he found it very novel.

The little fox must be very happy.

He thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.

Helpless, Xu Qiaoqiao simply reached out her paw and took it. The little ball looked quite small when it was held in Jun Qi's paw, but when Xu Qiaoqiao took it, she found that it was even bigger than her own paw.

Seeing the little fox reach out and take it, Jun Qi was satisfied. He then continued searching, and seeing that there were no other fun things, he gave them all to the little fox.

By the moonlight, he stepped on the ground, carefully examining it, hoping to find some "toys".

Seeing Jun Qi like this, Xu Qiaoqiao sighed helplessly, then pulled her head back into her backpack, playing with the small ball with her paws.

It looks like I'll be taking a lot of things back with me tonight.

She stayed in her bag, quieted down, and couldn't help but think about all sorts of things. In this world, the only people she had any connection with, besides Junjun, were her uncle and his family. She wondered if her uncle had found his aunt this year.

Judging from last year's timeline, they should be on their way to migrate with their parents right now.

Moreover, it seems that their family's migration was a bit late last year.

As Xu Qiaoqiao thought about these things, she realized that she might have a bunch of younger brothers and sisters, which would definitely be very lively.

Newborn fox cubs must be incredibly cute.

Xu Qiaoqiao poked her head out again. She looked around and finally fixed her eyes on the bright moon in the sky, her eyes revealing a faint longing, hoping that you are all well.

I'm doing great.

Although this big guy likes to pick up all sorts of random things in the house, he's quite cute.

She is very good at thinking of herself.

Uncle, you're right. I've found myself an incredibly powerful backer, so I won't have to worry about food for the rest of my life.

If we ever have the chance to meet again, you probably won't remember me.

Xu Qiaoqiao smiled and changed her posture to make herself more comfortable.

Then, Xu Qiaoqiao noticed that Jun Qi had stopped. Sure enough, a few seconds later, she saw Jun Qi's claws reach out, clutching a piece of cloth.

Xu Qiaoqiao: ...

On the way back, Jun Qi didn't forget to pick the little fox's favorite fruits, as there were very few kinds of fruits available at this time.

After Xu Qiaoqiao jumped out of the bag, she saw Jun Qi with a bag in his mouth. When he saw Xu Qiaoqiao jump to the ground, he made a few indistinct "ee-ee" sounds.

He released what was in his mouth, and the leaf slowly unfurled, revealing bright red berries inside, which looked incredibly tempting.

I picked these especially for you.
