Ji Xiaoou cried very quietly.

She was not the kind of child who made a lot of noise. Her parents always said that she was as obedient as a little lamb.

She loves to cry, but every time she cries, she is alone.

Shed tears silently, wiped tears silently, and never bothered anyone.

Ji Xiaoou buried his cheeks in Ren's small neck, tears kept spilling from his eyes, washing his hair.

The leopard's hair is very short, and when it is wet, it looks like a fluffy brush, which is a bit irritating when it is brushed on the face.

Ji Xiaoou cried for a long time without hesitation, if she hadn't sniffed her nose from time to time, people might misunderstand that she was asleep.

Ren looked up at the sky above the forest. In winter, all the leaves fell off, leaving only bare branches.

Occasionally, a bird flies by, and a few snowflakes flutter and startle.

The girl's cries continued in her ears.

Gently, vaguely, with a pathetic look of being abandoned.

Ren never thought she would be so sad.

To be honest, I feel a little guilty.

If it wasn't for him, she could spend the long winter with those herbivores in peace and friendship.

Two days ago, Ryan might have thought so.

But now, it's just a little guilty.

Her "space" held the opportunity for him to change back to his original form, and he was determined not to let her go before he figured it out.

Even if she hugged him pitifully and cried.

It was already an hour later when Ji Xiaoou stopped crying.

She rubbed against Ren's neck, wiped away her tears, raised her red eyes, and looked into the distance.

The sky in the distance is clear, with white clouds, but where the horizon meets, it suppresses the thick black like thick ink.

Quiet and impermanent, mountains and rains are about to come.

Having experienced the previous experience, Ji Xiaoou knew that this was a sign of the approaching snowstorm.

She sniffled, after all, she still wanted to live, and she didn't want to die quietly in another world, she calmed down her emotions, and continued walking alone.

It was also Ji Xiaoou's luck that he saw a deserted cabin not far away at the foot of the mountain not far away.

The wooden house is simple, and the door panel in front of the house is eroded by wormholes. With the cold wind, it hangs on the door frame and is precarious.

The wooden house is not big, as if no creature has lived in it for a long time, and the wooden boards in front of the door are covered with a thick layer of ice, making it difficult to get down.

However, this was already a great surprise for Ji Xiaoou.

Ji Xiaoou walked around the icy place on tiptoe, walked into the wooden house, raised his head and looked around, looking around.

The inside of the room looked better than the outside. There was a wooden bed in the corner, a cabinet taller than her next to it, and a square table made of oak wood in the middle. Except for a piece of the table top that was eroded by wormholes, everything else was clean. good.

The floor was bamboo and had rot in two places and mold in one.

Ji Xiaoou wiped the tabletop with his fingers, and immediately, his fingertips were stained with a thick layer of dust.

Maybe it's moving, maybe it's because the place is too dilapidated, in short, this place is really uninhabited.

No matter what, it was a good thing for Ji Xiaoou.

This means that she can live here with confidence in winter, and when the snowstorm comes, she will not be frozen to death for the time being.

Ji Xiaoou is a person who is easily satisfied.

After looking around the wooden house again and again, the depressed mood just now cheered up quickly, put Ren on the bed, and went outside to find some dry firewood before it was dark.

This wooden house is very close to the forest behind, there are many dry branches nearby, Ji Xiaoou picked it up seven or eight times, and finally collected enough firewood for one night.

After returning, she put the firewood in the fireplace, lit one firewood with a gas tank, and then ignited the other firewood.

The flames flickered brightly, adding warmth to the cold wooden house.

Ji Xiaoou found another plastic washbasin from the space, took a large basin of snow outside, and placed it next to the fireplace.

After the snow melted into water, she wiped the table, cabinet and bed with a towel, and the floor was not spared.

After finishing all this, when I looked up, it was already dark.

She originally planned to clear the ice from the door, so she had to give up.

Although he was very tired, Ji Xiaoou felt a sense of accomplishment spontaneously when he saw the clean wooden house finally able to live in.

She took out the sleeping bag, blanket, and pillow from the space one by one.

Because of the large number of people in the class, Ji Xiaoou brought thirty or forty blankets. Ji Xiaoou spread three blankets on the bed, tried lying on it, but it was still a bit hard, so he spread two more blankets. As for the slightly thicker blanket, just keep it up for the night.

The door panel was eroded by wormholes, Ji Xiaoou walked over, put his hands on the door panel, and was thinking about what to do.

Suddenly, the door fell forward and hit her feet with a "bang"!

Ji Xiaoou hurriedly retreated: "..."

This time it is completely unusable, Ji Xiaoou thought for a while, found a double sleeping bag from the space, stepped on the wooden stool, and raised his gloves on the door panel.

The door panel became too bulky to fit into the door frame, so Ji Xiaoou erected it at the door, with a wooden table behind it to support it, at least there would be no more air leakage.

Ren lay on a soft bed and looked at the busy girl.

One moment he was still crying out of breath, but the next moment he was as strong as if nothing had happened.

Unlike all females of the leopard family.

Ren raised his front paws and licked his fur with the barbs on his tongue, thoughtfully.

Leopard females are independent, strong, and can handle everything alone.

But she, who is fragile, sensitive, and vulnerable, can always survive tenaciously.

Despite this tenacity, it is not worth mentioning in front of the powerful leopard clan.

In the middle of the night, a snowstorm arrived as expected.

The cold wind was howling outside, heavy snow was falling, and fine snowflakes rolled in through the gaps in the door panels.

Ji Xiaoou was afraid of the cold, so the fire in the fireplace was burning vigorously, covering the whole room with a layer of warmth, and the snowflakes had already melted before they hit the ground.

Ji Xiaoou curled up on the bed covered with a blanket. Although there was a fireplace for warmth, she still felt cold due to the raging wind and snow.

After all, blankets are not as warm as quilts.

She timidly hugged Ren to her chest, trying to borrow some of his fluffy hair to keep warm.

The sixteen-year-old girl's physical development has already begun to take shape, her chest is slightly swollen, like a soft and juicy peach.

Take a bite and the juice will overflow.

Without the barrier of the goose down coat, he got closer to Ren.

The fragrance on the girl's body comes from all directions, which is not possessed by female leopards. It is sweet and fragrant.

Ren froze.

Ji Xiaoou didn't realize it, her feelings for Ren were probably the same as that of her beautiful shorthair cat.

She even rubbed her cheek against the tip of his nose, and asked mutteringly, "Tao Tao, do you think I can still go home?"

Ren raised his pupils and looked at the girl who was close at hand.

Ji Xiaoou was a little dozed off, his eyes were half-opened, his cheeks were flushed red from the fire, and there was a heavy sleep sound.

Until Ji Xiaoou couldn't hold it anymore, closed his eyes and went to sleep, he seemed to hear a sound in a trance——

"Damn Tao Tao."

Then, he added: "Remember, Ryan, my name."

The voice is low, rough and rough like hot wind blowing over dry gravel.

The moment it came to my ears, I was inexplicably thirsty.

Who is speaking

Who is Ryan

This name is a bit familiar... as if I've heard it somewhere...

Ji Xiaoou thought about it in a daze, and then fell asleep completely.

In the early morning of the next day, the firewood in the fireplace burned down, and the snowstorm outside temporarily stopped.

Ji Xiaoou lay on the bed and still didn't get up, his eyes were closed tightly, his hands were placed on his stomach, and his body was curled up into a ball.

Ryan jumped out of bed, guessing she was cold from the fire out.

She has no thick fur on her body, she is bald, and she doesn't know how she has survived the long winter before.

After all, she had to rely on her to change back to the original state. After looking around the room and finding nothing to start a fire, Ren came to the door, squeezed a small gap with his body, and nimbly got out of the door.

It snowed all night, and the snow was covered with a thick layer.

As if repainted with white paint, the whole world is dazzlingly white.

Ren dragged his injured hind leg and searched around the wooden house. The branches were all soaked in snow, and they couldn't burn even if they were put in the fire.

He had no choice but to go back along the road yesterday, arrived at Milu Village, and "borrowed" some firewood from the kitchen of the patriarch Gao Zhi's house.

However, this body is too small, and it can only hold two or three firewood at a time. After the fifth time, it was finally discovered.

"you-"

Patriarch Gao Zhi was shocked, angry and afraid, why did this leopard come back? !

Patriarch Gao Zhi was about to call his clansmen, when Ren pressed one of his paws on one end of the firewood, and the firewood was instantly bounced up, hitting the old patriarch's antlers.

Patriarch Gao Zhi was hit, and retreated repeatedly, clutching the antlers.

Ren took the last piece of firewood, jumped out of the fence, turned around, and gave him a cold look.

His eyes were cold, and he was about to burst into tears.

The old patriarch froze in place in fright, watching it go away tremblingly.

Just going back and forth several times like this, by the time Ryan collected enough firewood, it was almost noon.

Ren put the firewood into the fireplace one by one. Fortunately, the fire in the fireplace hadn't been completely extinguished yet, and after a while, the flames re-ignited.

At this time Ji Xiaoou hadn't gotten up yet.

Ren finally realized that something was wrong, jumped on the bed, and looked at the girl in the corner.

Ji Xiaoou shrank his body, his whole body was sore, his hands and feet were weak, as if he had been run over by a heavy truck.

I didn't even have the strength to open my eyes.

Ren stood by, watching the cold sweat on the girl's forehead.

I thought she was too cold to get out of bed, but now it seems that it is not the case

At this time, the fireplace rose, and the heat was dense.

An unusual smell wafted through the air.

Rich, sweet, with a hint of bloody smell...

— This smell comes from the girl on the bed.

Ren looked at Ji Xiaoou, and saw that she was intact, with no injuries or damage.

However, leopards have a keen sense of smell and can always easily find the source of the smell.

The tip of Ren's nose passed Ji Xiaoou one by one, from top to bottom, and finally, it keenly stopped in the middle of the girl's legs.
