Chapter 243 - Losing Half of Their Short-Winged Birds (2/2)

“Okay.” Parker left the yard and closed the door.

The short-winged birds continued pretending to be plants and didn’t move.

Although the thorny fruit plant at the doorway was an evergreen plant, it had hardened during the cold season. Since Bai Qingqing couldn’t find a better substitute for a toothbrush, she picked one of the thorny fruits and rubbed it against some animal skin before using it to gently brush her teeth.

It was really amazing that Bai Qingqing’s teeth hadn’t yellowed and even became whiter despite only using thorny fruits to brush her teeth these past few months. The thorny fruits were like the special teeth cleaners of the plant kingdom.

The main door was closed when the fire was made as the baby snakes liked to crawl about.

The baby snakes feared Curtis the most and didn’t dare to go near him. Hence, Bai Qingqing followed him closely, thinking that it was safest to remain by his side.

The baby snakes crawled about on the ground and licked and rubbed their bodies against various things they came across. The curious look in their eyes was no different from that of human babies. Bai Qingqing suddenly found them really adorable.

“Be good, baby. You’ll have food to eat soon,” Bai Qingqing smiled and said to a baby snake. She removed the lid of the pot and glanced inside. The steamed egg had just solidified.

Bai Qingqing said excitedly, “Winston, help me take out the steamed egg. Parker, bring the babies’ nest over and place them inside so I can feed them.”

Curtis’s tail swayed agitatedly as he asked with a cold look on his handsome face, “What about me?”

Wasn’t the steamed egg for him? This was his favorite dish. He’d just woken up from hibernation—didn’t she cook this just for him?

Bai Qingqing was stunned for a moment. She then replied smoothly and with the inherent politeness of a Chinese, “You’ll get to eat the steamed egg too. Everyone will. No one ate it a few days ago, so there’s a lot left over.”
