By the time Jiang Chengze returned carrying two wild pheasants and a wild rabbit, he found a pitiful little figure hanging her head in defeat.
[Wait, this isn't right! This makes no sense! How are they all so good? Aren't they beginners? Is this that so-called beginner's protection period?]
Jiang Nuan didn't understand. Jiang Nuan was thoroughly baffled.
Even a beginner's protection period shouldn't protect them so many times, should it?
"Pfft!"
Behind her, Jiang Chengze rather unkindly burst out laughing.
The moment Jiang Nuan saw him, it was as though she had spotted her savior.
"Brother, come play for me!"
Once Jiang Chengze took over, he slaughtered the opposition on all sides.
They played several more rounds before Mao Zhonglin returned with wild pheasants and rabbits too.
Zhou Youjia, however, returned not with pheasants or rabbits, but with a palm-sized little fox.
The little fox timidly poked its head out of Zhou Youjia's arms. Its black-bean eyes were big, round, and moist, brimming with innocence and curiosity.
Jiang Zixuan's heart was instantly captured, and they gathered around the little fox, doting on it for quite some time.
Seeing that it was about time, they began preparing the barbecue.
Once the pheasants and rabbits were nearly done roasting, they looked toward the hill behind the farm in puzzlement.

Jiang Chengze voiced his confusion.
Jiang Nuan began to worry too.

She asked Guagua silently.
[Host, your fourth brother slipped while trying to catch a wild rabbit just now. He fell down a slope and sprained his ankle.]
[What?!]
Jiang Nuan grew anxious.
"They still aren't back. I'll go take a look."
Jiang Chengze immediately rose, ready to head up the hill.
