Molly looked at the three peopleâs interactions in confusion and urged, âQuickly let me see her.â
âMm.â
Bai Qingqing walked over to Mollyâs side and crouched down while carrying Anâan.
Given Bai Qingqingâs looks, Molly knew that Anâan would definitely be pretty. However, she was still shocked when she got a good look at the child.
âI think sheâll be even prettier than you when she grows up.â
Bai Qingqing was delighted to hear her compliment, even if Anâan was compared to her.
âYou donât know how ugly she was when she was just born. It took me so much effort to give birth to her, and when I looked at her, I was so frightened that I wanted to shove her back into my stomach and give birth to her again.â
Bai Qingqing really thought that way back then.
âPft!â Molly sputtered with laughter. Looking at Anâanâs beautiful face, she couldnât imagine what she looked like when she was ugly.
Not wanting Molly to think that she was a hypocrite, Bai Qingqing completely disregarded Anâanâs face and vividly described how she looked like a little old man back then.
Molly then shuddered at the mental image.
âAfter hearing you say that, I suddenly feel like my female childâs not so ugly anymore,â Molly said with joy.
She then stroked her childâs smooth face and continued, âAt least her skin isnât all wrinkly.â
âMm. Sheâll definitely become prettier in the future,â Bai Qingqing said. âBy the way, have you thought of a name for her?â
Molly nodded. âYes. Her name is Anna.â
âThatâs a nice name,â Bai Qingqing replied despite feeling confused. Why did she give her child an English name when they all spoke in Chinese?
She had asked Parker that question before but didnât get any answers. This then became a mystery.
âThe Flos Eriocauli should bloom by the time Iâm done with my confinement,â Molly said in anticipation. âYou donât need to accompany me there anymore because I wonât be alone. Haha...â
Bai Qingqing smiled and didnât say a word. When that day comes, theyâll probably be too busy cleaning up pee and poop. But I probably shouldnât scare them now.
But itâll be nice to hold Anâanâs hand and take a stroll through the flower field on the way back. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When the rain stopped, Bai Qingqing figured that Anâan should be hungry and prepared to leave.
Before she left, she said, âThat, um... Remember to prepare more small pieces of animal skin.â
âWhy?â Molly naively asked.
Bai Qingqing glanced at Edgar and Alva and silently prayed for them.
âThe female child will need it,â Bai Qingqing said as Parker, who had already climbed down the tree, urged her.
She then climbed down the tree as well.
Molly was confused, but she took note of what Bai Qingqing said. She then rudely said to Alva, âDid you hear that? Quickly tear some animal skin for me.â
Bai Qingqing smiled upon hearing the voices in the tree hole.
The floor was slippery from the rain. For Anâanâs safety, Bai Qingqing passed her to Winston, and the three of them walked back side by side.
The ice in the waterhole had already melted and the water was extremely clear, so much so that one could clearly see the reflection of the dark clouds floating across the grey sky.
Bai Qingqing stood at the waterhole and observed it for a while. The water then rippled as a bright blue head appeared. Its blue hair floated in the water like the petals of a magnificent flower.
Bluepool smiled in surprise. âQingqing. Long time no see.â
âYeah.â Bai Qingqing looked inside the water. âWhereâs your little silverfish?â
Bai Qingqing licked her teeth, somewhat impatient as it had been several months since she last let the little silver fish clean her.
âHang on,â he said. He then let his mouth sink into the water.
