Just as Bai Qingqing finished stir-frying the last dish, Curtis stuck his hand into the pot of soup. Upon touching the scalding hot liquid, he instantly retracted his hand, then swiftly plucked out a mushroom from the pot.

As the food in his hands was too hot, Curtis could only stuff it into his mouth. Without even chewing it, he swallowed the mushroom. After pursing his lips, he coughed twice.

Bai Qingqing scooped out the stir-fried spinach with egg and inadvertently saw Curtis’s mouth moving, and also noticed a trace of oil by the corner of his lips.

“You ate the mushroom?” Bai Qingqing’s heart ached for him. She picked up a small towel on the firewood nearby and helped him wipe his mouth. “I’d already fed it to the short-winged bird. You were scalded, weren’t you?”

Curtis grabbed Bai Qingqing’s petite hand and kissed it. “My heart isn’t put to ease.”

Bai Qingqing felt incredibly touched. She obediently sat in Curtis’s arms and waited for food.

She wondered how the Beggar’s Chicken in the firewood had turned out. It had been a while now, yet no aroma had wafted from it. The other two dishes were about to turn cold.

After Curtis confirmed the pearl oyster mushrooms weren’t poisonous, Bai Qingqing started eating with the two dishes. That on their own was pretty satisfying. She decided to keep the Beggar’s Chicken for the next meal since it was still early, and they could eat another meal at night.

“It’s suddenly become so cold. Is the cold season coming? Will the weather become warm again this year?” Bai Qingqing was seated in Curtis’s nest. Curtis was sewing clothes for her out of animal skin, so, from time to time, he would bring the animal skin to her body to take measurements.

“It’s only going to get colder and colder,” Curtis said calmly, worry concealed in his slightly furrowed brows.

Xiao Bai already feels cold at this temperature. What’s she to do when the real cold season comes?

Curtis suddenly felt glad that he and Xiao Bai had come to a village, and that they weren’t alone in the forest. If he accidentally went into hibernation during the cold season, what was Xiao Bai to do?
