Chapter 2319: Chapter 2319

It’s either me bumping into you, or you hooking me with your tail. Anyway, by the time Jiaojiao walked over, these guys had already rolled around in the snow a few times.

Even Xiaobai and Xiaohuang, who were in deep hibernation, came out.

Especially Xiaobai—its whole body was trembling with excitement. It wanted to rub up against Jiaojiao, but was afraid its body was too cold and would freeze her, so it could only twist its seductive body nonstop in front of her, hissing out its tongue noisily like crazy.

The little Changchong trailing behind it naturally didn’t dare compete with their parents for affection, but there were still one or two shameless ones that secretly used their tails to hook at Jiaojiao. One of them even curled its tail around a small purple flower from who-knows-where and brought it over.

In the dead of winter, finding a flower wasn’t easy, and when Jiaojiao saw that Changchong twisting its tail, tilting its head and pretending to be shy as it looked at her, she found it especially cute and smiled so happily.

But she definitely couldn’t accept the flower; after all, Duan Xi was still watching from the side. That little Changchong’s tail hadn’t even reached Jiaojiao yet before it was being glared at by Duan Xi so hard it practically turned to stone!

Xiaobai also couldn’t stand these "cheap flashy hussies" stealing its thunder. Even though they were hatched from its own eggs, it still whipped that annoying Changchong away with one flick of its tail.

After flicking it away, it scooted closer to Jiaojiao again. As soon as it got close, its head suddenly froze.

A few traces of surprise flashed through its triangular eyes. It looked at her, then at Duan Xi at her side, its big head full of disbelief.

"Ssssss!!!" Little Cutie, why are you covered in the stench of... someone else!

Jiaojiao couldn’t understand what it was saying. She just saw it suddenly stop twisting around and thought it must have gotten cold, so she hurriedly said with heartache, "Xiaobai, are you feeling cold? Hurry back and hibernate, don’t freeze yourself."

"Ssssss..." Little Cutie... my poor Little Cutie... Xiaobai will go find you some tonics to nourish you...

Xiaobai kept hissing out its tongue, and then really turned around and slithered off. Watching its retreating back, Jiaojiao found it a bit strange. How come it left so decisively today?

Without Xiaobai’s suppressive presence, the little Changchong started acting up again, circling around Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao couldn’t tell who was who among them, so she could only pat each head that came up to her one by one. Duan Xi didn’t like Jiaojiao getting close to other animals and instinctively wanted to release his aura to drive them away, but remembering the purpose of today’s trip, he forced himself to hold back and simply turned his gaze away.

With that, the wolf pups and Changchong went even wilder, circling around Jiaojiao, practically wanting to nudge her up into the air.

Off to the side, Ruan Jie watched the wolf pups flop over and expose their bellies for his sister to rub, then looked at the Changchong crowding in and offering their heads like they were Little Cutie asking to be petted. Thinking of how he’d been treated last night, his mood was... beyond words.

They’re all surnamed Ruan, so how can the difference be this huge!

Jiaojiao’s palms were almost rubbed raw before the wolf pups and Changchong finally felt a little satisfied. At Jiaojiao’s command—delivered in that unbelievably soft, sweet voice—they obediently lined up in two rows, standing in front of her like they were in military formation.

Jiaojiao clasped her hands behind her back and stood in front of them, pacing back and forth as she said, "That tall, big guy behind me is my brother."
