Then, a female’s maniac laughter erupted in the tree hole.
“Hahahahahahaha…”
Winston, who came back while biting onto a branch, paused in his footsteps. He raised his head and looked up at the tree, checked that it was really his home, before continuing to run back.
“I’m back.” Winston’s voice had just rung out when he immediately let out a low growl. “Growl!”
Bai Qingqing quickly said, “Don’t be nervous. It’s the children. I put tiger skin clothes on them.”
The three “fat tigers” in the tree hole were playing around, chasing each other. They hadn’t noticed that they were teased by their mommy and thought that she was only feeling happy. Therefore, they played even more happily.
Bai Qingqing didn’t expect that even Winston had been deceived by the clothes. She pursed her lips and stiffly laughed.
Winston relaxed after seeing the small leopard heads of the “tigers”. He threw Bai Qingqing a glance, feeling both helpless and amused.
Qingqing was like the leopard cubs, playful like a child.
“I’ve found yellow fruits. I don’t know if you’ll like them.” Winston climbed into the tree hole and held onto a branch that had four oranges growing on it.
Bai Qingqing took a look at it. The leaves were still fresh. If this was placed in a fruit shop, they’d be the most popular ones.
Therefore, despite knowing that the oranges here were so sour that they could be used as vinegar, Bai Qingqing still took them.
It had been a few years, but her mindset as one from the modern era still existed in the details.
Bai Qingqing used a snake scale to slit the orange’s skin and peeled it skillfully.
Winston felt nervous, his eyes filled with anticipation. “You’ve eaten them before? Do you like them?”
“I do, but…” Bai Qingqing took a bit of the orange and wore an expression as if it was hard for her to put things into words.
“But the oranges here are too sour!” Bai Qingqing bellowed inside on what a pity this was. It was a waste of a favorable natural environment.
It must have been because there was too much rainfall when they were maturing. In a dry environment with high temperatures, fruits would turn out especially sweet. For example, grapes and honeydews were very well-known in Xinjiang.
Winston was almost expressionless, but his round ears drooped down, displaying his dejection.
Bai Qingqing decisively took a big bite of the sour orange, and her expression turned brilliant. She nodded and said, “Uh! It isn’t bad. It can replenish vitamin C, and eating it will make one more beautiful.”
Winston’s ears perked up once again, brimming with excitement. “Then, I’ll pick them for you every day.”
Bai Qingqing stiffened. She felt that she had dug a big hole for herself.
After eating one sour orange, Bai Qingqing became spirited.
“Do you want more?” Winston had an honest character. He picked up an orange and was about to peel it.
He didn’t doubt Bai Qingqing’s words, nor did he think that she would eat something she didn’t like just to console him.
All females cared about beauty. Back then, to maintain her youth and beauty, Rosa would go as far as accepting him as her mate. Qingqing should care about her looks more or less as well.
“Hey, don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t!” Bai Qingqing quickly snatched the orange from Winston’s hand and also picked up the branch, putting it by the side. She said, “One per day is fine. I need to save some space to eat other things.”
Winston then said, “Then, I’ll go cook food for you now.”
Bai Qingqing was speechless. Do you think that you’re feeding a pig?
“I’ll just eat together with you in the evening.” Bai Qingqing said, “Oh, right, don’t feed the leopard cubs too much. They like to stuff themselves. Uhh… After they’ve eaten, help them to clean their feet.”
She should let the leopard cubs come up to sleep tonight. Otherwise, it’d be too embarrassing to sleep alone with Winston.
Winston listened seriously and then said, “I got it.”
