And by then the weather would be severely cold.

Hence, Bai Qingqing said, “Don’t. You’d better hibernate. I’ll show her to you when the light rainy season ends.”

“Don’t go back on your word!” Bluepool’s words had a double meaning. Recalling that she had bluffed him once before, she felt embarrassed to take back what she said.

Bluepool also didn’t give her a chance, simply chuckling twice before diving into the water.

After he was done washing the fungus, Parker said, “Just ignore him. Let’s go back.”

“Mm.” By then the waterhole would have been covered with ice, and he would have long gone into hibernation.

The duo went home.

Rainwater had fallen upon Bai Qingqing’s clothes while she was picking the fungus. This gave her the perfect excuse to change out of the clothes stained with the little snake’s odor. She placed it on the first story.

Climbing up the tree hole in a thinly-clothed state, Bai Qingqing was so cold that she kept shivering. She instantly squirmed into the blanket. Parker transformed into a leopard and laid down to warm her.

Curtis transformed into a human and walked over. “Did you have fun?”

Bai Qingqing pulled the blanket up, gazing around sheepishly. “Mm.”

Curtis said nothing else and merely laid down on her other side, holding her with the blanket separating them.

Bai Qingqing’s body relaxed, and she exhaled a long murky breath.

The two of them slept in each other’s embrace. After warming up the bed, Parker headed downstairs to destroy the evidence (wash the clothes).

…

From this day onwards, every time the skies cleared up, Bai Qingqing would head outside. Curtis and Parker would take turns bringing her out to play. When she was out with Curtis, they would frequently go to look at Winston while he built the house and have a picnic there. (Of course, it would be food prepared by Parker).

The speed at which Winston built the house alarmed Bai Qingqing. Every time she came, she saw a visible transformation. From the looks of it, by the time the rainy season ended, the house would be fully completed.

When she went out with Parker, naturally it was to visit the little snake.
