Chapter 70 The Three of Us Getting Along
His hand gently stroked her back slowly, and Xia Yueke's chubby little face naturally rested on Qian Jingyao's shoulder. Every inch of their skin contact seemed to have an electric current passing through it.
She mumbled a few words in her sleep, and soon she slowly closed her eyes, her breathing becoming slow and even.
Qing Yan watched this warm and sweet scene from the side, and couldn't help but curl his lips and muttered softly:
"Hmph, what's so good about holding Qian Jingyao? It's better to sleep on my belly! My belly is soft and warm, Keke will definitely sleep better."
As he spoke, he patted his round belly, looking unconvinced.
Qian Jingyao stared quietly at Xia Yueke's peaceful sleeping face until he was sure that she was asleep. Then he gently moved his gaze away from her face and turned to Qing Yan beside him.
He frowned slightly and lowered his voice to a very low voice, "As soon as the sun rises, we will set out for the tribe.
If you have anything you want to take, take it now. I won't wait for you when the time comes, so don't hold us back."
After saying that, Qian Jingyao carried Xia Yueke quietly and walked to the place where licorice was spread in the cave.
Then he carefully adjusted the way he held Xia Yueke, holding her firmly with both hands so that her body could rest comfortably in his arms, making sure that she would not feel any discomfort.
After hearing Qian Jingyao's words, Qingyan's crimson eyes darted around. In the dim cave, apart from some old debris scattered about, there were also large and small clods of earth, and in the corner, some wood blocks that had been there for who knows how long.
He scratched his head, as if there was nothing here that he wanted to take, but in his eyes these were all delicious foods.
He thought to himself, I can't starve myself, and what if Yue Ke finds out that I eat too much, gets disgusted with me and doesn't want me anymore?
Qingyan thought so, and then he transformed into a gigantic monster. He opened his bloody mouth and began to stuff everything edible in the cave into his mouth like a whirlwind.
Every step he took, he ate a piece of something, a clod of earth, a piece of wood, no matter what it was, it became food in his mouth.
His huge body moved in the cave, raising a small cloud of dust.
He ate with gusto, and the "crunching" sound of his chewing was particularly clear in the quiet cave.
Unconsciously, he ate the hay at Qian Jingyao's feet.
Qian Jingyao seemed to be pretending to be asleep, but in fact he had never let his guard down and always paid some attention to Qing Yan.
After feeling that Qingyan had eaten so much, Qian Jingyao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
He frowned even more tightly as he watched Qingyan eat. He secretly groaned in his heart, if he brought him back to the tribe, this guy's appetite was so amazing, would he eat up all the tribe's food reserves and bankrupt the tribe?
As the young chief, Qian Jingyao was filled with worry. He knew that the tribe's food reserves were not sufficient and that food was hard to come by.
He thought to himself, no, I have to feed this big guy himself, otherwise the tribe really can't afford to support him with the way he eats! This is really a big headache.
At this side of the cave, Qingyan finally had his fill.
His round belly was like a big bag stuffed with things, bulging high.
After eating, he simply lay down on the ground with a "thump", and the ground seemed to shake slightly.
He lay on his back and soon fell asleep, his big belly rising and falling with his breathing.
At this time, the noise in the cave gradually disappeared, and Qian Jingyao was still in a state of dozing. His eyelashes trembled slightly. Under his seemingly calm appearance, his vigilant heart was silently paying attention to the movements around him, not missing any possible danger.
The next morning, when the cave was just getting light, Qian Jingyao woke up first. He looked at Xia Yueke, who was still sleeping, with tenderness in his eyes. He gently patted her shoulder and called softly:
"Coco, it's dawn, we have to leave."
Xia Yueke opened her eyes sleepily, stretched like a lazy kitten, and muttered, "So fast." Then she quickly got up and tidied up with Qian Jingyao.
Qing Yan was awakened by their noise. He sat up suddenly and yawned deafeningly. His round belly was like a big leather bag filled with water, shaking violently several times with his movements.
He looked at the busy Qian Jingyao and Xia Yueke, scratched his head, and prepared to get up.
Qian Jingyao flashed and turned into a majestic snow fox. Xia Yueke ran over with a smile on her face, and with a light jump, she sat steadily on his back.
She excitedly grabbed Qian Jingyao's fur and shouted with a smile: "Let's go!"
The two of them came out from underground and climbed up from below.
Seeing this, Qing Yan stared at Qian Jingyao with his scarlet eyes, his eyes full of envy. He looked at Xia Yueke's cheerful appearance sitting on Qian Jingyao's back, and the envy in his eyes became more intense. He muttered, "I also want to carry Yue."
He swung his tail, which was like a giant whip, and the ground trembled slightly with every step he took. He followed behind with a somewhat clumsy but quickened pace.
"Qingyan, hurry up and catch up!" Xia Yueke turned around and shouted at Qingyan.
After hearing this, Qingyan immediately sped up and said as he ran, "Yue, I'm here!" His huge body shuttled through the woods, breaking many branches along the way, making a "crackling" sound.
Qian Jingyao drove at lightning speed all the way, and by noon, he happened to pass by a small river.
Qian Jingyao stopped and said, "Keke, why don't we just rest here? I can get you something to fill your stomach."
Xia Yueke nodded and slid down Qian Jingyao's body like a slide.
She walked to the stream, squatted down, and put her slender fingers into the clear stream. The water flowed around her fingertips, splashing small water droplets.
She smiled happily, her eyes curved into crescents: "Wow, it's so cool!"
Qingyan also stopped, and his huge figure covered a small area near the stream.
He looked at Xia Yueke and imitated her, gently stirring the stream with his claws, splashing water on Xia Yueke.
Xia Yueke pretended to be angry and stood up, with her hands on her hips, saying, "Qingyan, you are so bad!"
