next day
I was awakened by the pattering rain outside the window in the height of summer.
She turned her head to look outside, but the window had been closed at some point.
Tie Bai walked over with a tooth-cleaning twig, chuckled, and helped Sheng Xia sit up, putting the twig into her mouth.
"It's raining and windy, so I closed all the windows."
In the height of summer, she unconsciously chewed on a bright green twig, the refreshing taste enveloping her teeth—soft but not sticky, very pleasant.
A look of surprise flashed across her almond-shaped eyes. The rain had stopped for only a few days before it started raining again. She wondered how the ginkgo trees she had just planted on the back hill were doing.
Aoki Akira strode in with a smile, holding a light green long sweater, which he unfolded in front of Sheng Xia as if presenting a treasure.
"Xia, how about wearing this? It's cold, so I made a spicy hot pot. You can go downstairs and eat as soon as you put this on."
Seeing her radiant smile, Sheng Xia couldn't help but grin back. She lowered her eyes and looked at the sweater.
It's a refreshing light green, and the loose-fitting cardigan gives it a relaxed look, without any of the usual embellishments.
It simply gives the beast a refreshing feeling.
She opened her arms and looked up charmingly.
"It looks great, thank you so much! I'll wear this one, it goes really well with my beige knit dress!"
Aoki smiled brightly and happily helped Shengxia get dressed. Looking at her charming and lively appearance, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips.
After breakfast, the rain stopped.
In the height of summer, she turned to look out the window. The sky was hot and gloomy, and it looked like it was about to rain again. A hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
She turned around and looked at Hu Xue, who had finished cleaning up the dishes and was rubbing her hands with soap, and said with a light laugh.
"Fox~ I'm going to find Guoguo, will you come with me?"
After finishing his meal, Aoki went to the back mountain to work with other males who had wood-type abilities to help produce white berries.
The harvest time can be controlled, so there's not much to worry about.
She wondered how Guoguo's kittens were doing, and she had to go check on them, as well as Yelaixiang and the others; she might as well go check on them together.
"Great!" Fox Snow exclaimed, her eyebrows dancing with delight.
He washed his hands, walked over, and lifted Shengxia up, letting her sit on his neck.
The sudden increase in gaze made Sheng Xia gasp. She immediately hugged Hu Xue's head and said coquettishly.
"Fox! There's no mud or water on the ground, you don't need to sit so high." Walking on it with such a shuffling motion, what if there's a reaction... it's quite embarrassing.
The ground in the village is paved with solid stone slabs, which are stable and non-slip, so there is no need to worry about the females not being able to go out on rainy days.
Hu Xue detected a hint of shyness in her words. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a sly glint in them.
"Don't be afraid, sister. I walk very steadily and won't fall down."
As he spoke, he strode towards the courtyard, his movements indeed very steady.
He didn't dawdle on purpose as soon as he left the house...
Seeing this, Shengxia breathed a sigh of relief and gently hugged his head.
The air outside was fresh, filled with the fragrance of earth and grass, mixed with the gardenia scent that Fox Snow herself carried, making the beast feel relaxed and happy.
In the height of summer, I tilt my head back slightly, squint my eyes, take a deep breath, and enjoy the leisurely pace of life.
I hope this simple happiness will remain unchanged.
Upon seeing the height of summer, Cheng Guo jumped down from Mu Yi's arms with great joy and ran over to cheer.
"Xiaxia! You're here! Come in quickly, Baoyou is making hot pot, spicy flavor. Try my Baoyou's cooking!"
She's always been the one freeloading off Xiaxia, so since she rarely comes over, I absolutely have to treat her well!
Cheng Guo enthusiastically pulled her inside, glanced back at Hu Xue outside the door, and said with a smile.
"Fox Snow, come in too, go play with Mu Yi and the others."
"good."
Fox Snow thanked him and strode in.
Shengxia opened her mouth several times, but found that she didn't have a chance to speak at all. She chuckled helplessly and closed her mouth to listen to Chengguo.
Several little ones curiously circled around Shengxia.
"Wow!"
"Mah~"
"Wow!"
"Waaaaah..."
The little squirrel was jumping around near Shengxia when Muyi slapped it, making it behave and then it blinked its clear eyes at them.
My heart is melting in the middle of summer! The whole room is full of fluffy things, so cute! I want to touch them, but it's impolite.
Seeing the little squirrel come to her doorstep and then be slapped into submission, she could only watch helplessly...
Chengguo took another dried fruit and stuffed it into Shengxia's hand. Seeing the expression on Shengxia's face as she stared at the baby, she smiled brightly, bent down, picked up the little squirrel, and put it in Shengxia's arms.
"Xia, play however you like."
She knew that Xiaxia loved fluffy things the most.
Looking at the adorable little squirrel in her arms, Shengxia smiled happily. She reached out and scratched the squirrel's neck, then turned to look at Chengguo with a smile.
"Guoguo, what's the little squirrel's name?"
So cute! It's so soft, I want to press my face against it and rub it against it...
Cheng Guo paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned around and met Mu Yi's doting eyes: "He is the fourth son, named Song Yuan."
With so many kids in the family, Guoguo often forgets their names. Guoguo is so cute!
Cheng Guo turned her head with a smile: "Xia, he is Song Yuan!"
"A very nice name."
Shengxia's almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile as she watched Guoguo interact with her partner, feeling happy for her.
It's rare to find a family with so many males who don't fight or compete and can still get along harmoniously.
After sitting for a while longer and having hot pot with Cheng Guo, Sheng Xia, still smelling of the food, decided to go straight home to take a shower.
She leaned lazily against Hu Xue's chest and said coquettishly.
"Fox, put me down. I'm too full, I need to walk around."
Listening to Guoguo tell gossip was so much fun that I ate a lot without realizing it. I didn't feel it while sitting, but I felt uncomfortable as soon as I stood up.
"Okay." Fox Snow gently put her down and followed closely behind.
I wandered aimlessly through the village during the height of summer.
A beautiful woman came into view at the chief's doorstep.
Lan Yingying had just finished showering and was getting some fresh air at the door. Her long, wet blue hair was draped behind her, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
A pure white animal skin was wrapped around her chest, her full breasts were about to burst out, and her long, fair legs were almost completely exposed.
The animal hide was barely hanging off, and the exposed, snow-white skin was covered with ambiguous marks.
One glance was enough to make Shengxia's almond-shaped eyes widen to their maximum.
What a beautiful female...
She had never seen him before. Standing at the chief's door, he must be his partner. Seeing Lion Mountain come out of the house, Shengxia's almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile.
I heard the chief had fallen out of favor, but it seems he's regained it...
Fox Snow politely turned her gaze elsewhere until she heard the chieftain's hearty laughter.
Yesterday morning, Shishan took some time to cook a delicious meal for his partner. He even got the recipe from Xiaxia, and Yingying really enjoyed it.
He worked very hard during mating, pleasing his partner...
Lan Yingying turned around and gave Shishan a coquettish look, then leaned against him, waiting for him to dry her hair.
This thrilled Lion Mountain. He didn't see Sheng Xia and Fox Snow; his eyes were only on Lan Yingying.
He was as excited as a teenager when he got the chance to take care of his partner.
Seeing this, Shengxia smiled knowingly, did not step forward, and quietly walked away with Hu Xue.
