When Curtis found her, he would have to return to looking at her from afar.
Muir gently said as he stroked Bai Qingqing’s tummy that appeared bigger than yesterday, “I will take good care of you.”
Bai Qingqing had no idea how to respond to that. Actually, Muir was what was troubling her the most now.

Under Muir’s reluctant gaze, Bai Qingqing went back to the peacock village with big and small bags.
No idea what it was that Alva said, but Bella seemed to have forgiven him—the two of them were sitting on a tree branch chatting and laughing. Upon seeing Bai Qingqing, the smile instantly vanished from Bella’s face.
“Hey! Where are the pine nuts you said you were going to peel for me?” Bella, who had slightly upturned eyes, asked.
Bai Qingqing took in a deep breath to make herself calm down, before saying, “They’re in the wooden house. I’ll bring them over to you right now.”
When Bai Qingqing came out with a tree leaf holding the pine nuts, Bella murmured, “You really did peel them.”

“You gave her pine nuts again! And you said you don’t fancy her! Scram!” Bella howled hysterically.
Although the pine cone was big, there were only two or three handfuls of pine nuts inside. Bai Qingqing had peeled the pine nuts from around two pine cones.
“No, I only gave her two pine cones,” Alva explained anxiously. “It must be other males…”
He had wanted to go on when Bai Qingqing interrupted his words. “I didn’t eat the pine nuts Alva gave me. I’ve peeled them all for you.”
Bella’s expression turned sunny at hearing this. She picked up the peeled pine nuts and started eating them. “That’s more like it.”
