  Molly looked at the three people’s interactions in confusion and urged, “Quickly let me see her.”


  “Mm.”


  Bai Qingqing walked over to Molly’s side and crouched down while carrying An’an.

  Given Bai Qingqing’s looks, Molly knew that An’an would definitely be pretty. However, she was still shocked when she got a good look at the child.

  “I think she’ll be even prettier than you when she grows up.”


  Bai Qingqing was delighted to hear her compliment, even if An’an was compared to her.

  “You don’t know how ugly she was when she was just born. It took me so much effort to give birth to her, and when I looked at her, I was so frightened that I wanted to shove her back into my stomach and give birth to her again.”


  Bai Qingqing really thought that way back then.

  “Pft!” Molly sputtered with laughter. Looking at An’an’s beautiful face, she couldn’t imagine what she looked like when she was ugly.

  Not wanting Molly to think that she was a hypocrite, Bai Qingqing completely disregarded An’an’s face and vividly described how she looked like a little old man back then.

  Molly then shuddered at the mental image.

  “After hearing you say that, I suddenly feel like my female child’s not so ugly anymore,” Molly said with joy.

  She then stroked her child’s smooth face and continued, “At least her skin isn’t all wrinkly.”


  “Mm. She’ll definitely become prettier in the future,” Bai Qingqing said. “By the way, have you thought of a name for her?”


  Molly nodded. “Yes. Her name is Anna.”


  “That’s a nice name,” Bai Qingqing replied despite feeling confused. Why did she give her child an English name when they all spoke in Chinese?

  She had asked Parker that question before but didn’t get any answers. This then became a mystery.

  “The Flos Eriocauli should bloom by the time I’m done with my confinement,” Molly said in anticipation. “You don’t need to accompany me there anymore because I won’t be alone. Haha……”


  Bai Qingqing smiled and didn’t say a word.

  When the rain stopped, Bai Qingqing figured that An’an should be hungry and prepared to leave.

  Before she left, she said, “That, um…… Remember to prepare more small pieces of animal skin.”


  “Why?” Molly naively asked.

  Bai Qingqing glanced at Edgar and Alva and silently prayed for them.

  “The female child will need it,” Bai Qingqing said as Parker, who had already climbed down the tree, urged her.

  She then climbed down the tree as well.

  Molly was confused, but she took note of what Bai Qingqing said. She then rudely said to Alva, “Did you hear that? Quickly tear some animal skin for me.”


  Bai Qingqing smiled upon hearing the voices in the tree hole.

  The floor was slippery from the rain. For An’an’s safety, Bai Qingqing passed her to Winston, and the three of them walked back side by side.

  The ice in the waterhole had already melted and the water was extremely clear, so much so that one could clearly see the reflection of the dark clouds floating across the grey sky.

  Bai Qingqing stood at the waterhole and observed it for a while. The water then rippled as a bright blue head appeared. Its blue hair floated in the water like the petals of a magnificent flower.

  Bluepool smiled in surprise. “Qingqing. Long time no see.”


  “Yeah.” Bai Qingqing looked inside the water. “Where’s your little silverfish?”


  Bai Qingqing licked her teeth, somewhat impatient as it had been several months since she last let the little silver fish clean her.

  “Hang on,” he said. He then let his mouth sink into the water.
