There were still minimal traces of oil on the surface of the waterhole. Bai Qingqing called out to Bluepool while she scooped out the oil with a tree branch. Since the bowl had been brought home, she contained the oil using a tree leaf.

Bluepool only floated to the surface after a good while. By then, Bai Qingqing had already finished cleaning up the water surface, save for some remnant traces by the edges.

“You’re out.” Bai Qingqing expressed her delight at seeing him. “I thought you weren’t ever going to talk to me again.”

Bluepool gazed at the water surface and said, “It’s clean enough already. How long are you going to continue scooping?”

“Until you come out. I’m here to look for you,” Bai Qingqing said straightforwardly. Her voice turned meek at the sight of Bluepool’s icy expression. “Sorry, I won’t try to hook a red thread between1 you and someone else again.”

“What red thread?” Bluepool looked around with his tail tensed up. “What are you up to this time?”

Bai Qingqing hurriedly explained, “No, no, no. It’s just an analogy. I mean, I won’t try to matchmake you with a female again.”

Bluepool’s expression eased slightly. Taking another look at her meek and subservient manner, he suddenly felt glee in his heart, and his anger completely dissipated.

But in order to obtain more benefits, Bluepool maintained his stiff expression. He blew a large bubble in the water and said with a serious countenance, “Then, come in and help me take a look at the nest.”

“You built a nest in there?” Bai Qingqing’s curiosity was aroused. She turned around and patted her cubs on their little heads. “Wait outside. And tell your Daddy when he comes later, lest he worries.”

“Meow—”

Amid the cubs’ reluctant purrs, Bai Qingqing squeezed into the bubble.

The bubble sank instantly, blocking the cold wind outside. Although she was in the water, it felt much warmer than outside.
