Out-of-season Vegetables

Jiujiu chirped obediently as it walked ashore.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong had almost finished wiping it, so they left it alone.

After tidying up the two chicks, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went to a place a little further away to wash their hair and take a bath.

Under the moonlight, Jian Mo stood in the lake, the moonlight outlining his slender figure.

The water was just up to his waist, highlighting his narrow waist and beautifully defined muscles. The water stopped just above the surface, making one want to explore what lay beneath.

Wu Jiong's large, burning palm rested on his waist, almost enough to encircle it with one hand.

The water was cold, but Wu Jiong's palms were unusually hot.

Jian Mo was washing her hair with her eyes closed. "Don't mess around."

Wu Jiong kissed his ear.

Jian Mo's attitude softened, and she only vaguely said, "Jiujiu and Ying'ao are still nearby; it wouldn't be good if they saw us."

Wu Jiong: "Let's go wash somewhere further away."

Jian Mo: "Wouldn't it be too much trouble to come back?"

Wu Jiong: "No, I'll let the wind dry my hair while I run back."

Jian Mo had no objections. The scenery here was so beautiful, and there was no one around. It seemed a waste not to do something about it.

So they avoided the two chirping birds, Wu Jiong transformed back into a giant wolf, carrying Jian Mo to the other side of the lake.

Ying'ao's ears twitched, and he opened his eyes to see that they hadn't gone too far, so he stopped paying attention to them.

Jiujiu was already asleep, its chubby body curled up in a ball, making it impossible to care for them.

They ran to the foot of the snow-capped mountains on the other side of the lake.

The weather was quite cold, but people's skin felt very hot; the sensation of skin touching skin was quite unique.

Jian Mo felt it was even more exciting than being at home.

It must have snowed on the mountain. It's quiet and still, with hardly any sound, but you can see snowflakes covering the mountainside from the summit, giving the dark mountain a bright white coating.

The temperature at the foot of the mountain was much higher. Wu Jiong held Jian Mo tightly in his arms. It wasn't cold when their skin was touching, but it felt very strange.

They stayed outside for half the night, and when they returned, their hair and body hair were completely dry.

To get rid of the odor, Jian Mo took another shower, and now she has a faint scent of soap and herbs, which smells very nice.

The giant wolf that Wu Jiong had transformed into slept next to the two chirping birds. Jian Mo dragged the blanket up onto the giant wolf, wrapped himself in the blanket, and quickly fell asleep as well.

Four breaths echoed by the lake, mingling with the waves lapping against the shore, forming part of the night's sounds, and also part of their memories, which would likely become recollections in the future.

Because she went to bed very late, Jian Mo also woke up very late the next morning.

He woke up wrapped in a blanket in the giant wolf's fur, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Jiujiu and Ying'ao swimming in the lake.

Ying'ao swam a bit far, but Jiujiu was nearby.

Jiujiu swam quite fast, splashing water everywhere. Jian Mo admired its swimming style for a while and felt that this guy was quite energetic.

When Jiujiu saw Jian Mo sit up, she shouted loudly at him, "Jie!"

Jian Mo yawned. "So excited?"

The giant wolf also woke up. Hearing the sound, its two furry ears twitched, and it turned its head toward Jiujiu, frowning as it said, "It doesn't seem excited to see us."

Jian Mo covered her mouth with her hand. "Why is that?"

The giant wolf stared intently. "Is a fish biting its rear?"

Chapter 190 Off-Season Vegetables

Jian Mo never expected that even at his age, Jiujiu would still get bitten on the butt.

He stared intently for a while before realizing that a large fish was chasing its tail and biting it, just like it was biting a fishhook.

Jiujiu turned around and tried to attack the big fish with its claws, but the big fish was much more agile than it.

As soon as it attacked, the big fish ran away; as soon as it turned around, the big fish continued to bite its tail.

After several attempts, Jiujiu was almost driven to the brink of collapse, howling and swimming towards the shore, only to be nibbled on the rear by the big fish every now and then. Each time it was nibbled, it would dart away even faster, and after a few times, it seemed as if the big fish was speeding up Jiujiu.

Fortunately, this creature has thick skin and long fur, so the big fish probably couldn't hurt it.

Jian Mo watched from the shore, exasperated, and reminded it, "Jiujiu, fly! How can you possibly outswim the fish in the lake?!"

The Jiujiu sound changed completely, "Hehehe!!!"

The giant wolf that Wu Jiong had transformed into translated from beside him. "It can't get a running start in the lake; there's no airflow, so it can't fly."

Jian Mo: "..."

Giant Wolf: "I'll go help it."

Jian Mo choice but to slide off the giant wolf so he could go down to the lake to help Jiujiu.

Jiujiu was splashing around in the lake, looking quite disheveled. When the giant wolf entered the lake, it quickly went around it, making room for the giant wolf to move around.

The giant wolf approached them and immediately grabbed the fish.

When the fish saw the giant wolf, it didn't run away; instead, it jumped out of the water and tried to bite the wolf's nose.

It failed; just as it was about to bite the giant wolf's nose, the wolf bit down on its cheek and carried it out of the water.

Jian Mo looked at the fish in amazement. "What a huge fish!"

This fish is almost half the length of Jiujiu's body, nearly two meters long. No wonder it dares to chase and bite Jiujiu.

The enormous fish struggled desperately in the giant wolf's mouth, trying to slap the wolf's cheeks with its tail.

Unfortunately, the giant wolf's position was too clever; the giant fish couldn't hurt it no matter whether it tried to bite with its mouth or swat with its tail.

Chirp breathed a sigh of relief when Jiujiu saw the giant fish finally caught. It followed behind the giant wolf, watching the giant fish struggle desperately, and suddenly leaned forward, opened its big mouth, and bit the fish's body with a loud thud.

The giant wolf glanced at Jiujiu.

Jian Mo was also surprised by this turn of events.

Under the watchful eyes of the wolf and the man, Jiujiu quietly released its grip and took a step back.

Jian Mo looked at the giant fish's body.

With all its might, Jiujiu bit a huge tooth mark on the giant fish, without even breaking the skin.
