A Xue and Jiao Yue had to go deal with the affairs of the Wolf Palace, leaving only Jing Yan, Jing Yi, and Qiao Xi in the forest.

Standing in front of the wooden house, Jing Yan watched the Butterfly Clan’s speeding car gradually go away, turned around, rubbed the head of the humanoid Jing Yi, faced Qiao Xi, and said slowly, “Qiao Xi, wait for me.”

Qiao Xi was stunned and startled.

There was a breeze.

The man’s handsome face was calm and determined, and there was a reassuring power in his eyes.

This was the eldest prince of the wolf clan, and a man who was determined to become the king of the wolf clan.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, “Be careful in everything.”

After Jing Yan, A Xue, and Jiao Yue got busy, Qiao Xi and Jing Yi were often the only ones left in the forest.

Every day, Jing Yan would send a message to Qiao Xi in advance, telling him if he would come back for dinner, and if he couldn’t come back, it would probably end at some time in the evening.

Many things suddenly appeared in the wolf palace, of course, this was inevitable.

Just during this time, Qiao Xi’s first-semester classes had ended, and he had officially entered the review stage. He asked for leave from school and stayed in the forest to review.

Lu Yin and Ruan Yue seemed to be the same as him.

As for the others, the bonfire dinner was gone, so there was now an additional servant in the forest who was responsible for their three meals a day.

However, Qiao Xi was not used to being served like this, so from the third day onwards, he started to do it himself.

Unexpectedly, after spending a period of time concentrating on his cooking skills, his culinary skills improved by leaps and bounds—at this moment, Jing Yi frantically flicked his tail, gnawed on the chicken leg, and shouted “Aww” while gnawing: “Delicious! Delicious! Qiao Xi, you are so talented!!”

Qiao Xi smiled, his eyes sparkling.

Although he left the Bird Clan Palace early to study outside, his three meals a day were all taken care of at school, and he didn’t need to do it himself when he returned to the palace during the holidays.

When he lived with everyone in the forest, although he would help prepare three meals, but after all, he didn’t put as much thought into it now, so Qiao Xi never thought that he seemed to be quite talented in cooking?

I don’t know how Jing Yan will react when he tastes the food he cooked recently?

Qiao Xi thought about it, and happily sent a message asking Jing Yan if he would come back for dinner tonight.

It was a pity that Jing Yan still couldn’t come back before dinner tonight. Knowing that Qiao Xi’s cooking skills had improved recently, but he wasn’t able to taste it, the man sent back a “TAT” emoji.

Qiao Xi raised the corners of his lips, thought for a while, and said to Jing Yi: “I’ll bring food to your brother tonight, do you want to go there with me?”

Jing Yi shook his head: “I won’t go, just stay here, you go find my brother, it’s fine.”

When it came to anything related to the wolf king, Jing Yi seemed to avoid it.

His feelings towards the Wolf King and the Wolf King Palace were also very complicated.

Yes.

Qiao Xi secretly sighed.

In the evening, Qiao Xi prepared dinner, left a portion for Jing Yi, and took the rest to find Jing Yan.

When he arrived in the palace, Jing Yan had just finished, and several people came out of the conference room. When they saw Qiao Xi, they turned their eyes on him with various meanings.

Qiao Xi greeted them politely, and they also smiled kindly at him—whether it was true or false, it had been made clear to them that the prince of the bird tribe could not be offended.

Jing Yan came out at the end and was still talking to the human-shaped A Xue and the human-shaped Jiao Yue. When he saw Qiao Xi, his eyes lit up, and when he came over, he hugged him and rubbed him, rubbing the hair on Qiao Xi’s forehead into a mess: “Qiao Xi!”

Seeing this, A Xue smiled softly and said, “Then Jiao Yue and I will go home first, and I won’t disturb you.”

Qiao Xi hurriedly said: “The food I brought is enough, stay and eat together.”

Jiao Yue jokingly said: “We’ll taste it later, he has been thinking about you every day for the past few days, and it’s rare that you can have a meal together, so we won’t be light bulbs.”

Jing Yan said, “That’s how it should be.” Seeing his expression, Qiao Xi felt a little embarrassed.

After A Xue and Jiao Yue left, Jing Yan pulled Qiao Xi into the master bedroom of the palace—even though Jing Yan hadn’t lived in this room for more than ten years.

When he ate the food made by Qiao Xi, he said with satisfaction: “It’s delicious! It’s really delicious! Qiao Xiaoxi, you are amazing!”

Qiao Xi bent his lips, and couldn’t help but reach out to touch Jing Yan’s face.

Jing Yan ate until his cheeks bulged.

Sensing Qiao Xi’s movement, Jing Yan stopped and looked at him.

Qiao Xi touched Jing Yan’s ear again.

The past few days he could only see him at night, and after they hugged and slept together, they separated again early the next morning.

Qiao Xi would not tell Jing Yan that he missed him very much, because he knew that Jing Yan was the same, and only by solving the matter as soon as possible could everything go on the right track.

However, even though Qiao Xi didn’t say anything, Jing Yan could still sense his mood.

The man came closer and said in a low voice: “Qiao Xiaoxi, it’s coming soon.”

Qiao Xi was startled, but after realizing it, he said in surprise, “So soon?”

Jing Yan originally expected a month, but now it had only been half a month.

“Things are going much smoother than expected, don’t worry,” Jing Yan also touched Qiao Xi’s face, his eyes sparkled, “I will propose to you when everything is over.”

Qiao Xi’s heart skipped a beat.

He blushed and said: “Wait, let’s talk about it then!”

He wanted to look away, but Jing Yan gently stopped him with his hands, and rubbed against his forehead.

Qiao Xi’s heart warmed, he closed his eyes, and rubbed his forehead and nose with Jing Yan, while they breathed in harmony.

Speaking of which, Qiao Xi was originally worried that he would cause trouble for Jing Yan, because he was afraid that after the incident broke out, he and Jing Yi would become the queen’s target.

Although Jing Yan’s attitude was firm, Qiao Xi consciously didn’t run out, and just stayed in the forest obediently, and didn’t even go to other places in the forest except the wooden house.

As a result, nothing happened at all, at least in the forest, everything seemed to be calm, and things were going to pass like this?

Between the Queen and Jing Yan… Maybe the gap was really too big.

“How about the wolf king?” Qiao Xi asked.

Jing Yan paused, and said, “The fox doctor said it would take at least two days to wake up. After waking up, he should be ready to go to the fox clan.”

By that time, everything would have been settled.

Qiao Xi nodded and sighed, not knowing what to say.

But the matter was almost over, and he finally relaxed a little in his heart.

Jing Yan clenched his hand, and said in a hoarse voice, “Qiao Xi, thank you for being by my side all the time. Without you, this time would have been even more difficult.”

Qiao Xi shook his hand back and said with a light smile: “Me too.”

It’s amazing.

Before meeting Jing Yan, Qiao Xi never knew that there was really such a person in this world, even if he was separated from him for a while, he felt lost.

But everything was going in a good direction, and their future was still very long.

Although no one knew what would happen in the long-term future, they would definitely be able to go on smoothly… right?

Qiao Xi just guessed so.

However, accidents always come suddenly.

That night, he and Jing Yan returned to the wooden house together. After washing up, the two embraced each other and fell asleep as usual.

In the middle of the night, Jing Yan, who suddenly woke up in a daze, realized that the person in his arms was too hot before he could recover.

He paused, then got up abruptly and turned on the light. Qiao Xi curled up beside him, trembling unconsciously, and his cheeks were red and hot.

Jing Yan’s face changed, and he called the doctor immediately.

But until the sky turned bright and Jing Yi woke up yawning, Qiao Xi still didn’t open his eyes.

—He had a high fever and had fallen into a coma.
