Chapter 46 Wearing a bib while eating
She put her little face on Qian Jingyao's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling extremely at ease.
The two returned to the cave together. Qian Jingyao quickly lit a small bonfire in the cave. The orange-red flames jumped happily, making crackling sounds, and the warm firelight reflected on the rough cave wall.
Qian Jingyao put Xia Yueke down, simply tidied the bed, and then carried Xia Yueke to the animal skin bed.
Xia Yueke and Qian Jingyao lay side by side on a bed covered with soft animal skins. The skins were slightly fuzzy and caressed their skin, bringing a special kind of comfort.
Seeing that Xia Yue didn't turn into a little fox cub to sleep, Qian Jingyao blinked his bright eyes and asked with doubts in his eyes:
"Coco, do you prefer human form?"
Xia Yueke nodded quickly and vigorously, and the hair on her forehead swayed.
"Of course I like the human form, and I definitely prefer sleeping in one."
As she spoke, she wrapped the animal skin tighter around her, as if to emphasize her choice.
Qian Jinyao tilted his head slightly, and the firelight danced on his face, outlining soft lines.
He nodded to show that he understood.
"Because most of the kids aren't very familiar with the human form yet, they might sleep in the animal form."
After saying that, Qian Jingyao reached out and touched Xia Yueke's head, and said with a smile: "Human form is also good, so I can hold you better."
Xia Yuke rubbed against Qian Jingyao.
The cries of night owls could be heard outside the cave, echoing in the forest, but this did not affect the warmth inside the cave.
Qian Jingyao pulled the animal skin up to cover Xia Yueke's belly, hoping that she would not catch a cold in the middle of the night.
A smile appeared on Xia Yueke's lips, and she slowly closed her eyes. Soon, a light snoring sound came from her nose.
Qian Jingyao looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his eyes full of pampering, and gradually fell asleep.
The next day.
The faint light of morning light quietly slipped into the cave from the entrance, dispelling some of the remaining chill of the night.
There are a few vines hanging from the top of the cave, swaying gently in the breeze.
Xia Yueke was still deep in her sleep and had not yet fully woken up, but suddenly a tempting aroma of meat entered her nostrils.
The fragrance was like an invisible hand, gently pulling at her sense of smell.
Her pink little nose moved slightly, and the next moment, her eyes opened faster than her brain, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
"Yaoyao, what delicious food have you cooked?"
Her voice was filled with the laziness and anticipation of someone who had just woken up.
Xia Yueke sat up, stretched, and then slowly began to put on the animal skin.
No one knew what kind of prey the hide was made of, but it felt soft and thin, and had a unique toughness that made it difficult to damage even after being pulled.
The edges of the animal skin are woven into delicate lace with thin vines. Now that the weather is hot, the animal skin feels cool to wear.
"Coco, you're awake! Come and have some broth and some sweet fruit! I'm going to take you fishing later. You're growing up now, and I heard that drinking fish broth can make young cubs smarter!"
Qian Jingyao's voice came from outside the cave. The voice was magnetic and full of expectation.
"Okay~"
Xia Yueke agreed crisply and rolled over from the bed.
Her small face is rosy, her big eyes are clear and bright, her small nose is slightly upturned, and her lips are as red as cherries.
She put on small shoes made of animal skin. The shoes had small flower patterns carefully painted by Qian Jingyao, which were extremely exquisite.
As she stepped out of the cave, warm sunlight instantly shone on Xia Yueke. After she squinted her eyes slightly to adapt to the light, she saw that Qian Jingyao had already prepared everything.
He had silver hair as smooth and shiny as moonlight, and a few strands of hair hung casually in front of his forehead, adding a touch of casualness.
Under the high nose bridge, the lips were slightly pursed, with a faint smile at the corner of the mouth.
He stood in front of the stone pot, his posture upright, holding a large wooden spoon in his hand. He was gently stirring the broth in the pot, his deep eyes staring into the pot, his eyes full of concentration.
Xia Yuke walked closer out of curiosity and took a closer look. She found that he was wearing another piece of animal skin over his original animal skin coat. The animal skin was tied in front of him like an apron, cleverly covering his clothes to prevent them from being splashed by the soup.
"Yaoyao, your outfit is really interesting."
Xia Yueke teased with a smile.
"This way you won't get your clothes dirty, little greedy cat, come and get ready for dinner."
Qian Jingyao responded, his eyes full of tenderness.
Looking at him now, he was busy in an orderly manner, his movements were skillful and natural, and he looked like a virtuous husband in the beast world.
Xia Yueke couldn't help but cover her mouth, laughed secretly twice, and then skipped over.
When Qian Jingyao saw her coming, a doting smile appeared on his face. He picked her up and gently placed her on the stone bench.
The stone table was right in front of her, with her food neatly arranged on it. The broth was fragrant and the sweet fruits were tempting.
Xia Yueke couldn't wait to reach out to grab the food, but at this moment, Qian Jingyao stopped her quickly.
"Xiao Ke, don't use your hands, they're dirty."
Qian Jingyao said.
Before she could react, her eyes were filled with shock.
Qian Jingyao took out a small and cute bib and gently put it on her. There was a small flower pattern on the bib, and it was obvious that Qian Jingyao had prepared it carefully.
Maybe he was secretly sewing and embroidering in the corner while Xia Yuke was asleep.
"Yaoyao, I'm not a child anymore!"
Xia Yueke protested, her little face puffed up like a balloon.
Qian Jingyao smiled and said, "In my eyes, you are just a little cub who will never grow up!"
Xia Yuke saw that this was obviously not the design for this place. She scratched her head and wondered if this was also from the Holy Maiden Cult?
She was too good to even teach this. Xia Yueke decided that if she saw anything that didn't fit in here again, she would blame it on the Saint.
Otherwise, with her little brain, she really couldn't figure it out...
At this time, Qian Jingyao took out a delicate little spoon from the side and handed it to Xia Yueke, and asked with a smile:
"Xiao Ke, do you want to eat by yourself, or do you want me to feed you? Can you eat by yourself?"
Xia Yue looked at him with shame, her face full of helplessness:
"Of course I can eat it myself. I'm not a cub."
But in my heart I was thinking that Qian Jingyao really took care of me like a child.
She secretly complained that although she looked like a little kid of four or five years old now, she was already an adult at heart!
Being treated like this made her so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground with her toes.
But under Qian Jingyao's doting and unyielding gaze, Xia Yueke was like a deflated ball, and the idea of throwing a tantrum and tearing off her bib disappeared in an instant.
