Just as the sky began to lighten this morning, Li Jiu was woken by the sound of footsteps.
His time at Wen Qian's house had been incredibly peaceful.
He didn't have to worry about being discovered by humans or preyed upon by other animals. He could sleep in every day. It was even more comfortable than his life in the Beast World.
Best of all, Wen Qian prepared delicious apples for him every day.
There were crisp ones, soft ones, sweet ones, and tart ones... an incredible variety. When she had time, Wen Qian would even thoughtfully slice them for him.
'What a heavenly existence this is!'
'Wen Qian has to be a fairy!'
Half-asleep, Li Jiu couldn't help but let out a silly giggle. He hugged the blanket tightly, then snuggled into it twice under the intense gaze of the man watching him.
'Wait, what is this idiot doing?'
'Is he trying to act cute?'
