In Bai Qingqingâs tree hole, Curtis slept like a dead snake after filling up his stomach as he hadnât slept for days.
âSqueak squeak.â
The sound of a mouse biting things kept ringing in the tree hole. Bai Qingqing perked her ears and listened for a while before mumbling, âIt canât be that the bark is infested with bugs, right?â
Parkerâs gaze landed on the wooden chest and his nose twitched. He walked over to open up the chest.
âMeowââ
A few young leopard cries rang out. They could tell that their daddy was angry, so their cries were soft.
So it was them hiding in the chest, using the wooden rod that was embedded with the luminous ball to grind their teeth. They had reached the age where they were growing fangs, and the root of their teeth kept itching. The door to their ânestâ that Winston had made from them had a hole bitten through it. They then realized that their nest wasnât warm enough and set their thoughts on their mommyâs stuff.
Parker lifted one leopard cub. They were no longer as small as they used to be.
The leopard cub was biting onto the wooden rod that had been embedded with a luminous ball. Saliva was hanging off the corner of his lips.
âYou guys are turning the world upside down when Iâve just been away for a few days! If you want to grind your teeth, go look for a branch yourself!â Parker swung and tossed the leopard cub out. He crashed against the wall with a smash.
âHowlââ The two other leopard cubsâ cries rang out consecutively. Same as the first one, they were also biting onto the wooden staff with a luminous ball.
Bai Qingqing now understood how well the leopard cubs could withstand beatings. She knew that they wouldnât get hurt from a fall like that, but her heart still ached for them.
âDonât beat them. Itâs raining outside, so it isnât good for them to go out either.â Bai Qingqingâs hands were on the back of her waist, and she slowly walked up to the leopard cubs, stroking their heads to console them. She smiled and said to Parker, âWhen youâre free, bring them three pieces of wood. Remember to wash them. Donât let them eat something bad.â
Hearing his mateâs gentle voice, Parkerâs mood immediately turned for the better. He replied magnanimously, âAlright.â
However, when he looked toward the leopard cubs, his gaze became harsh again. âScram down. Go chew on your own tail for now.â
âHowlââ
The three leopard cubs crawled down the tree hole sheepishly.
Bai Qingqing smiled, picked up the luminous ball wooden rod that was covered with saliva, then wiped it on herself. âThe sky is turning dark. Itâs good to take it out to light up the room.â
After saying that, she wanted to stand up. However, her heavy stomach made this act very difficult to pull through.
Parker reached Bai Qingqing in two to three strides, then carried her up horizontally.
âYouâve gotten heavier.â Parker placed her on the bed and came up with this conclusion.
âOf course. You guys were gone for over ten days,â Bai Qingqing said.
Parker stroked her stomach, putting his ear against it.
Bai Qingqing recalled how Winston had felt the fetal movement and felt very happy about it. She couldnât help but share it with the whole world. She said it to Parker as well, âWinston felt the fetal movements. You were still saying that I lied to you.â
Parkerâs countenance changed, and he said indignantly, âIt must be that Anâan has grown up, thatâs why he was able to hear it. Iâm certain that Iâll be able to hear it as well now.â
Bai Qingqing saw him like this and felt regretful over her action. One shouldnât be too smug.
Parker was sharp and could sense the change in her attitude toward Winston. He was already the weakest amongst them, and if Qingqingâs love for him became the least as well, he didnât dare to imagine how things would be.
No, he must let Qingqing like him more, and win one round back.
Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Parker raised his brows and looked at her, saying, âIâll tell you a secret.â
âWhat?â Bai Qingqing looked at him curiously, wondering if Parker had also come across an interesting encounter in his trip this time around.
Parker took a look at Curtis, who was sleeping next to him. He went close to Bai Qingqingâs ears and said in a soft voice, âI saw your snake child.â
