Bai Qingqing washed her hands as she squatted down by the river. Upon seeing the birthmarks on her face in the water, she froze for a moment, before sputtering out in laughter.
“Okay. By then Curtis and Parker would have joined us. I’ll have nothing to be scared about.” Bai Qingqing cupped some water to drink as she said with a smile.
At an angle where Bai Qingqing couldn’t see him, Muir stared at her fixedly. “Mm. I’ll keep a lookout for them.”
Bai Qingqing had a satisfying meal by the river. Muir couldn’t bear to eat the food she couldn’t finish, so he wrapped them up using a tree leaf for her to eat when she got hungry.
“I need to go back and help a female peel pine nuts. I’ll get going.” Bai Qingqing patted her butt and got to her feet.

“Wait a minute.” Muir instantly got up too. He picked up the luggage and food, a longing look in his eyes. “I’ll come and bring your food tonight. I’ll wait for you here.”
“There’s no need for that. The meat here is enough food for me for an entire day. You should hurry and find something to eat yourself. Do be careful by yourself when you’re outside.”
Bai Qingqing reminded him. She was pretty satisfied with this arrangement. Living with the peacock tribe, she only had to do some chores and didn’t have to be stared at by Muir with that kind of a gaze, and that made her feel much more comfortable.

Muir sent Bai Qingqing back to the peacock village, reluctant to leave. It was only when she completely disappeared from view that he left, dejected.
Bai Qingqing stroked her tummy in satisfaction as she walked between the nests. Her eyes lit up at the sight of a peacock spreading its wings from a distance away. She hurriedly walked over.
Leaning behind a large tree, as Bai Qingqing looked carefully, she noticed someone familiar looking. There was no way she would fail to recognize that snakeskin tube top—that’s right, it was Bella.
Cuckoo— [Look at me.]
