But Xu Qiaoqiao was already discovered by Jun Qi before she even got close.
Jun Qi looked at Xu Qiaoqiao, his big eyes seemed to be patient, but he was also a little confused: Dear, why don't you sleep? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?
Now in June, for hedgehogs, the estrus period has long passed, and it can be said to be very relaxed.
This was not the case with Owl. Jun Qi only knew that Xu Qiaoqiao had returned to normal behavior now.
After all, during the two months they stayed together, Jun Qi definitely understood it now, even if he didn't know it before due to an animal's intuition.
What is your current state?
"Chirp."
Xu Qiaoqiao took a few steps forward. She looked into Jun Qi's eyes, which seemed to say: I want to help you.
This sentiment was indeed conveyed to Jun Qi's heart, but he accepted it. It was almost dawn, and he still hoped that Xu Qiaoqiao could have a good rest.
So Jun Qi barked a few times and rejected Xu Qiaoqiao's proposal.
He leaned his head over, bent down, touched Xu Qiaoqiao's forehead with his forehead, and rubbed it gently, his eyes never leaving Xu Qiaoqiao's figure.
But Xu Qiaoqiao obviously didn't obey. She looked at Jun Qi squatting there with a look of patience in her eyes. She called out worriedly a few times, and then got closer to Jun Qi.
"Gugu?" Didn't you tell her not to come? Why do you still come?
Jun Qi tilted his head in confusion, and saw Xu Qiaoqiao quickly running to Jun Qi's paws, scratching the opponent's hard paw skin with her own paws, and adding some movements, as if to make Jun Qi squat down.
Although he didn't understand what the little hedgehog meant, Jun Qi, who relied on Xu Qiaoqiao for almost everything, would not refuse her at this time. After all, he also wanted to know what the little hedgehog wanted to do.
"Chirp."
After seeing Jun Qi squat down as she wished, Xu Qiaoqiao took a sniff. This was the most profound smell in her memory during these days, so she quickly found her destination.
Because Jun Qi squatted down, his height was reduced a lot, which allowed Xu Qiaoqiao to find the place he wanted to see more clearly.
This is also the first time she has done this kind of thing, but as a partner, it is normal to express feelings for each other.
Xu Qiaoqiao comforted herself and cheered herself up, saying that she knew Jun Qi was looking at her without moving his eyes. Of course, this was because owls could not move their eyes in the first place.
Then, slowly, Xu Qiaoqiao supported Jun Qi with his two forelimbs, stood on his own two feet, and slowly stretched his head towards the destination he was looking for.
It's no big deal, she comforted herself.
Soon, Xu Qiaoqiao solved the matter for Jun Qi, but after many days, her whole body was covered with Jun Qi's hormone-filled aura.
Xu Qiaoqiao's face was red. She couldn't even remember why she was hugged and rubbed by Jun Qi from behind.
Because of bad eyesight, for the hedgehogs who are accustomed to using their sense of smell and hearing, these two senses are full of Jun Qi's aura no matter which direction they come from.
"Gu Gu."
Jun Qi shouted happily, and his eyes when looking at the little hedgehog were obviously more gentle. He carefully held the little hedgehog in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.
As the temperature gradually rises, the previous chill is driven away, and the cold wind is tainted with this warmth, making people feel hot for no reason.
At the end of June, with the passing of Junqi's estrus, it completely proves that the hot summer has arrived. At this time, females have generally given birth to babies, or are still giving birth to babies.
This is a very good thing, but for Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, they are destined to have no way to have their own babies.
But Xu Qiaoqiao still can't give up raising cubs, so as long as she has the chance, she will not give up.
Maybe, she really found one?
As the relationship between Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi becomes increasingly close, in Xu Qiaoqiao's heart, Jun Qi has already been an inseparable partner, but to Jun Qi, the current little hedgehog is different.
But he doesn't think that the situation between him and the little hedgehog is special. After all, the love between animals can be absurd, touching, and even firm.
The lifespan of a hedgehog is about five to seven years, and that of an owl is similar, but Jun Qi belongs to the category of raptors, and he is also very tall. What does this mean? Jun Qi will definitely have a longer life span than Xu Qiaoqiao.
In the fourth year that Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were together, Xu Qiaoqiao had gone through half of her life, but her wish to raise cubs still failed to come true.
This year, she had a chance.
This year's storm was more severe than before. Xu Qiaoqiao saw several big trees uprooted in the past two days. With the strong wind, they fell heavily to the ground, leaving a big hole.
"Chirp." Xu Qiaoqiao looked worriedly at the dark sky outside under Jun Qi's protection, feeling a little scared unconsciously.
These natural disasters are always scary and invincible.
She hugged Jun Qi tightly in fear and buried her head in Jun Qi's thick down, which seemed to make her feel at ease.
Jun Qi also knew that the little hedgehog was afraid. In fact, he was quite afraid. After all, when a natural disaster strikes, no one is not afraid.
But in the end, there was no confusion.
Of course, their little nest couldn't survive such a storm, so Jun Qi took Xu Qiaoqiao and left the little nest the moment before the premonition came.
Xu Qiaoqiao always hoped to demolish the nest before, and she also made a lot of efforts, but this time, when the nest was really destroyed, she felt at a loss.
This storm came too suddenly.
They are now in a tree hole. This big tree looks like it has been alive for a long time, and its roots are stable. Although it is not the tallest tree, the trunk is very thick, and it is thicker than any tree they have seen before.
thick.
So Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi are safe here.
The storm has been going on for a day and a night, but the trend now seems to be stabilizing.
Xu Qiaoqiao hoped in her heart: I hope there won’t be more rain, otherwise they will starve.
Although Jun Qi had stored a lot of food before, it was very scattered. Before they could retrieve it all, the storm had already come, and the food was probably useless.
Hearing the pounding rain outside, it felt like it was hitting you, leaving a big hole, and it hurt.
Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but flinch. After Jun Qi felt it, he immediately hugged her tightly.
"Gugu." Don't be afraid, I'm here.
Although the size of the big tree is very impressive, the tree hole is very small. After Jun Qi entered, he still squeezed out a place for Xu Qiaoqiao, and this place was still in his arms.
"Chirp, chirp."
Xu Qiaoqiao moved a few times, climbed a few steps, put her nose against Jun Qi's chin, and went up to kiss his eyes. She leaned against Jun Qi's chest and listened to his strong heartbeat.
It feels much better this way.
Calculating his age, Jun Qi is now over four years old, almost five years old. He is already an adult and a very powerful owl in every aspect.
The opportunity for Xu Qiaoqiao to realize her wish of several years came at this time.
