Cortis? Yet to recover from the shock, Bai Qingqings chest was still heaving up and down violently. As a result, yet more fog entered her lungs, making her cough several times.

Cortis hurriedly patted Bai Qingqing on the back and asked with a frown, Are you still having a cold?

Parker also transformed into a human. He circled his long arm around Bai Qingqings waist and took her several steps away from him. My body is warm, let me hug Qingqing.

Cortis lowered his head and looked at his hands.

Parkers statement about his body being warm affected him greatly. Cortis couldnt help wishing his body was hot as wellthat way, he would be able to hold Xiao Bai to sleep every night.

It was still the hot season, and Xiao Bai already couldnt tolerate his body temperature. When winter came, she likely wouldnt even touch him, right?

Bai Qingqing covered her mouth and coughed. No, I just feel an itch in my lungs.

Cortis felt more at ease upon hearing that.

The minute the door was opened, the white fog flooded in together with the sunlight, fogging up the colors around them. It was as though the world had turned into a black and white ink wash painting.

Parker said, Ah! The heavy rainy season is coming!

Whats the heavy rainy season? Bai Qingqing waved her hands before her and gazed up at the foggy skies.

Cortis walked to Bai Qingqings side, his lips slightly curled. It was unknown from his expression what he was thinking. The light rainy season is the peak period for females to go into heat, the season for breeding.

Parker had no idea why the snake was so happy. Qingqing had already gone into heat this year, so she wouldnt be going into heat again during the heavy rainy season. What was there to be so happy about?

Err Bai Qingqing halted in her speech. Cortis must be thinking that she would go into heat during the heavy rainy season as well. That meant he would surely try to copulate with her during this heavy rainy season.F*ck, Im doomed.

Becoming mates was fine. But giving birthand whats more, giving birth to eggsshe really wasnt prepared for it.

Was her wonderful youth going to be wasted on her snake children from now on? Her figure would go out of shape, and freckles would appear all over her face she couldnt help thinking of the females she saw when she first went to that villagethat big belly hanging at their waists, those breasts so saggy they reached their belly buttons. At the thought of how she might possibly look like that after giving birth, Bai Qingqing couldnt help but quiver.

After shaking her head to get those horrible thoughts out of her head, Bai Qingqing asked, Heavy rainy season that means theres a light rainy season?

Parker said, Mm. The heavy rainy season happens between the hot season and the winter season. The light rainy season happens between the winter season and the hot season. Light rainy season, hot season, heavy rainy season, winter seasonthese four seasons make up a year. Parker glanced at Bai Qingqing as he spoke. Stupid! What kind of small village did you grow up in exactly? How come you dont even know this?

Bai Qingqing glared at Parker fiercely and said as though it went without saying, Plenty of people dont know this. Im a female, why do I need to know all this?

Parker scratched the back of his head. That makes sense.

Ill go and wash up. Bai Qingqing walked away from the two of them and went to the river with her toothpaste and toothbrush.

Cortis followed her.

Parker raised his head and gazed at the skies, a hint of worry clouding his face. Its the heavy rainy season, itd be terrible if those people dont manage to come back before it starts.

The river water felt super cold in the morning. After carefully washing her face, Bai Qingqing saw the indistinct fish baskets in the bottom of the river. But she didnt dare to go down and retrieve them.

Seems like she had to tie a string to them next time so that she wouldnt have to enter the water when she collected the baskets.

A fiery red reflection was seen on the water surface, and a few strands of soft and long hair grazed the top of Bai Qingqings head.

What are you looking at? Cortis asked as he gazed at the depths of the river.

Bai Qingqing raised her head towards Cortis. Youre not afraid of the cold, are you?
