Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After finding Bai Di, Huanhuan told him about going out with Ah Gui to pick fruits.

Bai Di stroked her head and said gently, “Be careful on the way. Come back early.”

“Mmhm.”

Huanhuan thought that she and Ah Gui would be the only ones picking fruits. When she ran back to Ah Gui, she realized that he was with his friend.

The friend looked to be about 11 or 12 years old. He had short green-gray hair and was small. His eyes were big, and there was a dark green vine-like tattoo on his slender neck. He looked quite unique.

Ah Gui introduced him briefly. “He’s my friend. You can call him Qian Ye.”

Huanhuan squatted down and maintained eye level with Qian Ye. She smiled and said, “Hello, I’m Huanhuan.”

Qian Ye tilted his head and looked at her, looking cute. “Huanhuan?”

Huanhuan couldn’t help but touch his furry head. She smiled and said, “According to the age difference between us, you should call me ‘Aunt Huanhuan’. Of course, if you’re willing to call me ‘Sister’, I’ll be very happy.”

When he saw what she was doing, Ah Gui opened his mouth as if to say something, but he remembered what Qian Ye had just told him. He then closed his mouth and didn’t make a sound.

Qian Ye blinked his big eyes. “Sister?”

“Mhm.” Huanhuan found him so cute that she couldn’t help but reach out and pick him up. “The mountain path isn’t easy to walk on. I’ll carry you, okay?”

Qian Ye put his arms around her neck and smiled sweetly. “Okay.”

Ah Gui saw the interaction between them and felt his scalp tingle.

Qian Ye was small and light to carry. Huanhuan did not find it difficult at all.

She took two steps and realized that Ah Gui wasn’t following her. She looked back and saw that he was still standing there in a daze. She asked after finding it strange, “Didn’t you say that your time was precious? Why aren’t you walking?”

Ah Gui answered, “On my way.”

He hurried to the front and led the way.

Moonlight Mushrooms grew everywhere in the forest. Their faint blue light was like small light bulbs that lit up the entire forest.

Ah Gui was very familiar with this place. He found a fruit tree filled with fruits with ease.

He found a closer fruit tree and climbed up.

Huanhuan looked up at him and reminded him, “Be careful. Don’t fall.”

“Don’t worry, I often climb trees. I’ve never fallen.” Ah Gui stepped barefoot on a branch and smiled proudly. “I’ll make the fruits fall from above. You guys can pick them from below.”

Huanhuan quickly said, “Hold on.”

She placed Qian Ye on a large rock and instructed him to sit still.

Qian Ye acted obediently. “Okay.”

Huanhuan picked a few wide banana leaves and spread them on the grass. Then, she looked up at Ah Gui on the tree and waved. “You can pick the fruits now.”

Ah Gui was very agile. He darted between the leaves like a monkey, picking the ripe fruits and throwing them under the tree.

One by one, the fruits landed on the banana leaves.

Huanhuan found some slender and flexible grass blades and sat on the grass to weave net bags. Qian Ye watched for a while and found it interesting. He picked up a few grass blades and followed her act of weaving net bags.

When most of the fruits of this tree had been picked, Ah Gui climbed along the branch to another fruit tree that was closer.

Huanhuan let Qian Ye open the woven net bag. She picked up the banana leaf and placed the fruits into the net bag. Then, she tightened the opening of the net bag. They could bring it back like this.

This was very convenient.

Qian Ye was surprised. “You’re so smart to think of such a brilliant method.”

Looking at the cute little boy with wide eyes, Huanhuan couldn’t help but reach out her hands and pinch his face. “I learned this from others.”

Qian Ye didn’t seem to expect his face to be pinched. He couldn’t help but be stunned.

Huanhuan smiled and asked, “You’re so cute. Your parents must be very good-looking too, right?”

Qian Ye lowered his eyes. “My parents are gone.”

Huanhuan quickly said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked.”

“It doesn’t matter. They’ve been dead for years anyway. I’m over it.”

Huanhuan was about to comfort him when she heard Ah Gui call out.

“There’s a big beehive on this tree!”

Huanhuan immediately stood up. “Come down quickly. Don’t get stung by bees.”

“Don’t worry, they won’t be able to sting me.” Ah Gui squatted on the trunk and looked at the large beehive in front of him with wide eyes. His eyes were shining.

If there was a beehive, there would be honey. He loved that sweet honey!

The leaves on the tree were lush. Through the gaps between the leaves, Huanhuan could only vaguely see Ah Gui, but she could not see his exact movements.

She waited for a moment. She didn’t see him throw the fruits down or move anywhere else.

Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing up there?”

Ah Gui did not answer her.

It was Qian Ye who answered for him.

“Ah Gui is preparing to take the hive.”

“What?!” Huanhuan was shocked. “Is he crazy? He even dares to attack a beehive!”

Qian Ye looked up at the tree. “Yes, he’s already done it.”

Huanhuan quickly shouted, “Ah Gui, come down!”

Unfortunately, she was too late.

Ah Gui had already kicked the beehive to the ground!

The beehive was huge, about a meter in diameter.

When it hit the ground, the beehive split open. Sweet honey spilled out through the gap, and a rich, sweet fragrance unique to honey spread.

Qian Ye couldn’t help but sniff. “It smells so sweet.”

Huanhuan saw a ton of black bees pour out of the beehive. They attacked her like a black cloud, scaring her so much that she was about to cry. “You’re still eating at this time? Run!”

There were so many bees that they could probably sting them to death!

She picked up Qian Ye and ran.

Behind her was a dense swarm of bees. Huanhuan was so frightened that she used all her strength to run as fast as she could.

Unfortunately, she still couldn’t outrun the swarm.

The distance between them was getting shorter and shorter. Seeing that the bees were about to catch up, Huanhuan suddenly called out, “Little Lotus!”

The lotus sprang out, opened its petals, and turned into a huge lotus flower that blocked Huanhuan’s back.

A few bees flew too fast and couldn’t stop for a moment. They fell into the mouth of the skullcap and became its snacks.

The remaining bees immediately stopped as if they had seen their natural enemy.

They seemed to be hesitating between continuing to pursue the enemy who had destroyed their home or flying for their lives.

The lotus took the opportunity to eat some more bees.

The bees were clearly frightened by its ferocity. They didn’t dare hesitate. They turned around in midair and ran back.

The lotus gathered its petals reluctantly.

Huanhuan, who had luckily escaped, heaved a sigh of relief.

After a while, she suddenly realized that Ah Gui had not followed her. The guy had disappeared!
