Hu Jiaojiao felt like there were two hammers in her heart, constantly hitting the drum skin. Just when she was getting nervous, Long Mo reached out, picked her up and put her on the bed.
He lifted her paw with one hand and wiped it carefully with the warm animal skin.
The little fox's paws soon became white and clean again, revealing the pink pads underneath.
After Long Mo wiped his claws with the wet animal skin, he took out a piece of dry animal skin and wiped off the remaining moisture on it before carrying her back to the middle of the bed.
"Clean it up, and go to bed."
Hu Jiaojiao was stunned. Is that it
Didn't he ask her why she didn't change back to human form, or was it that the orcs were used to it
While Hu Jiaojiao was suspicious, the bed beside her suddenly sank, and Long Mo had already lay down on it, holding her small body in his arms.
She turned her head to look at Long Mo's closed eyes, waited for a long time, listened to his even breathing, and was sure that he was asleep. Only then did she relax.
"Huh..."
Fortunately, Long Mo didn't ask her any more questions today.
Maybe females like to sleep in animal form in winter? Is it warm
Thinking of this, Hu Jiaojiao felt a little relieved. As soon as she relaxed, sleepiness surged up like a tide.
She yawned and fell into a deep sleep.
What Hu Jiaojiao didn't know was that after she fell asleep, the male behind her slowly opened his eyes.
The deep pupils in the dark night are like bright stars in the night sky, revealing a bit of the mystery that comes from the depth of the sky and the dark night.
Long Mo looked at the soft and pretty little fox in his arms, and his cold eyes softened.
"Jiaojiao, no matter what you look like, you are my Jiaojiao."
"I always like you."
His only wish in this life is to be able to stand by her side forever and protect her.
…
The next day.
When Hu Jiaojiao woke up in a daze, a heavy hand was hugging her waist. Knowing that Long Mo had not yet gotten up, she rubbed against his arms, trying to find a comfortable position to continue sleeping.
Suddenly, she thought of something and opened her eyes abruptly.
etc!
It seemed like she turned into a little fox yesterday
Hu Jiaojiao's mind suddenly became clear, all her sleepiness disappeared, and she suddenly sat up from the bed as if she had come back to life.
wrong…
Feeling the familiar sense of control over her body, she lowered her head and stretched out her hands, revealing her palms, then turned over the backs of her hands, unable to help but exclaim in her heart:
"I'm back again?!"
Could it be that because she had been dreaming about turning back into human form last night, she changed back directly while sleeping
How come it is so easy for others to transform into beasts, but for her, it is like the weather forecast, sometimes working and sometimes not!
Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but complain in her heart.
"What's wrong?" A deep, questioning voice sounded behind him.
Long Mo woke up when Hu Jiaojiao sat up. Seeing that she looked frightened, a hint of worry appeared in his deep eyes.
"It's okay, I just... had a nightmare and woke up from it." Upon hearing the voice, Hu Jiaojiao quickly calmed down and stroked her chest twice with her little hand.
Coupled with his slightly pale face from being frightened just now, there is really no clue at all.
Long Mo stared at her quietly with deep eyes, as if he could see through her eyes, reach her heart, and dig out the secrets hidden in her heart.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He stretched out his hand without hesitation and held her tightly in his arms, as if to tell her that his broad shoulders would always be her strongest support.
Hu Jiaojiao buried her head in his arms, the faint smell of male hormones lingering around her nose, making her feel at ease involuntarily, but also a little guilty for hiding it from him.
"I'm fine now. It's not that scary." She said guiltily and crawled out of Long Mo's arms.
Long Mo pursed his lips, looked at her meaningfully, and spoke slowly:
"Jiaojiao, yesterday you..."
When Hu Jiaojiao heard the word "yesterday", it was as if an alarm bell had been rung. She was startled in her heart, and tried hard to hide the nervousness on her face, and suddenly interrupted Long Mo's words.
"Long Mo! Um... I want to tell you, actually I..."
It seemed that all her courage was used up in the first two words. As soon as she finished speaking, her tone became weaker and her voice became halting.
Hu Jiaojiao's heart seemed to be hanging on the edge of a knife.
Unexpectedly, Long Mo was one second faster than her.
"Jiaojiao, you looked very beautiful in your animal form yesterday. I like you no matter what you look like."
Long Mo's eyes were deep and gentle, and his mellow voice sounded like fine wine that had been buried for hundreds of years, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Hu Jiaojiao's words were stuck in her throat.
ha
Didn’t Long Mo want to question her
"So, you don't have to use the animal form to please me. As long as it's you, I'll be happy to see you in any form."
Hu Jiaojiao suddenly bumped into Long Mo's doting eyes.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Long Mo seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally emphasized those four words.
Is she overthinking it
"Who is trying to please you?" Hu Jiaojiao muttered in her heart. Seeing that Long Mo had already "thought" of a reason for her, she didn't say anything else, but just lowered her head slightly and agreed.
"Good boy, you must not have slept well last night. Sleep a little longer. I'll make breakfast and call you later."
Long Mo stroked her head with his big hand, then stood up and prepared to cook.
Hu Jiaojiao suddenly came to her senses, thinking of the cubs' inability to swallow food yesterday and the horrible meal on the table, and called out to him:
“Wait!”
"I'm not sleepy, I'll do it!"
Without waiting for Long Mo to refuse, she threw on a fur coat and hurried downstairs.
I was afraid that Long Mo would occupy the kitchen first.
One of the most terrifying things in their family is that Long Mo cooks!
Looking at Hu Jiaojiao who suddenly became energetic and left in a hurry, Long Mo gave a doting and helpless smile, shook his head gently, and followed her.
On that day, news came that Feng Sheng and Hu Qingshan had returned from a great victory.
Fengsheng's tribesmen were overjoyed. One after another, several females who found new partners became pregnant.
The tribe was filled with joy. Winter, which had always been known for its cold and silent weather, was now so lively and prosperous for the first time.
Just when everyone was happy, another piece of good news came from the tribe.
Xieman led the orcs to completely build the wall!
It is extremely cold in winter, and working outside is a very dangerous thing. Now that the wall has been repaired, the orcs who have worked hard for most of their lives and have never enjoyed themselves can finally return to the cave and rest with peace of mind.
It’s halfway through winter and soon the snowstorm is coming!
This means I won’t be able to go out for the rest of the winter.
The orcs had distributed the supplies in advance and lived in their own caves.
The sky seemed to be dyed with a layer of thick ink, dark and gloomy. The strong wind swept across the earth, and the accumulated snow was blown up into the sky and mixed with the branches.
The orcs who were still stranded outside hurriedly ran into the cave.
Hu Jiaojiao had already heard that there would be a snowstorm in the second half of winter, and the orcs would not leave their homes at that time. When she saw the weather change outside, she thought of the cubs still outside, so she quickly called Long Mo to go and pick up the cubs.
Fortunately, the cubs had experience and were rushing back. Hu Jiaojiao and Long Mo picked them up, and then went to the veterinarian's cave to pick up Long Ling'er. The family of animals finally returned home before it was completely dark.
