Jumping sounds rang from under the tree, and a few minutes later, the cubs leaped up. They gazed around the house in search of their mommy, then ran to her in unison.
Bai Qingqing lifted the blanket to reveal a gap, then ushered her cubs inside. âCome on in!â
Roar~ The cubs scurried into the blanket one after the other.
Though the cubsâ bodies were warm, their fur was chilly, making Bai Qingqing shiver with cold. She rubbed her cubs vigorously with her palms.
âWas it cold yesterday when you slept?â Bai Qingqing lifted one of them into her arms and asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Roar~ Roar~ The cubs responded immediately. Though, she had no idea what they were saying.
Seeing as the leopard cubs were keeping Bai Qingqing warm, Winston got out of bed and put on a skirt.
Bai Qingqing stuck out her head from the bed and said, âLetâs make a nest for the cubs. When the weather gets colder, theyâll have use for it at night.â
âOkay,â Winston immediately agreed.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Judging from the sounds, Bai Qingqing knew that Parker was coming up, so she shifted her head from the head of the bed to the rear end. She licked her lips in anticipation of food.
Shortly after, a basin of water rose from downstairs. Indeed, Parker was about to come up.
Winston grabbed the basin, and only then did Parker crawl up with the food tray. He was drenched from head to toe, and even his body carried the scent of rainwater.
Bai Qingqing quickly got up from the nest and laid an animal skin over Parkerâs head. âQuickly wipe yourself dry. It must be difficult starting a fire today, huh?â
âNo.â Parker wiped his hair vigorously, then casually hung the animal skin on the towel rack and said, âItâs cold today, so the food wonât spoil easily. It makes things more convenient actuallyâI made the soup that you were going to drink for the whole of today at one go.â
âMm.â Bai Qingqing responded as she rinsed up.
The minute Winston lifted the animal skin curtain, rainwater mixed with strong winds entered. The cold wind blew away the murky air in the tree hole that had been kept sealed for the night. The fresh air invigorated oneâs senses at once.
The tree hole also looked more brightly lit now.
A piping hot bowl of soup noodles was placed on the stone table. Inside were a few bones placed neatly, several pieces of vegetables, and three white fishballs. Not only did it smell incredible, but the flavor was also awesome.
Bai Qingqing closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, her mouth starting to salivate. âMm... smells so fragrant!â
Hearing this from his spouse, no matter how hard it was braving the rain and winds to cook, Parkerâs heart still brimmed with sweetness.
âEat up.â Parker stroked her head, but that didnât loosen her braids, which made him slightly displeased.
Parker said, âLet me comb your hair.â
âMm.â
As Bai Qingqing ate at the table, Parker stood behind her and helped her undo her braids. Seeing as there was nothing he could do here, Winston went out to construct the leopard cubsâ nest.
As the braids were undone, Bai Qingqing could feel a fluffiness behind her head. As she ate, she reached behind her head to touch her hair.
Damn! Did my hair explode or something?
âPff!â Someone sputtered with laughter above her head. Bai Qingqing raised her arm and nudged the person behind her with her elbow.
âDonât laugh!â Bai Qingqing growled in a low voice. She found herself a mirror, and when she got a proper look at her reflection, she was rendered speechless.
Even popcorn wasnât as exaggerated.
In the mirror, Bai Qingqingâs delicate and petite face appeared even smaller in contrast to the fluffy, curly, and pyramid-like hairstyle on the top of her head.
Her hair texture was light and had natural curls, to begin with. Having kept her hair braided for an entire night, it exploded when the braids were released. The exaggerated hairstyle made Bai Qingqing resemble a comic book version of a landlady.
Although she still looked pretty, she now also gave off a comical vibe.
With a hand pressed over his stomach, Parker nearly died laughing. âHahaha... youâre the... most hairy female Iâve ever seen.â
