Alva gazed at his surroundings. Seeing that Bai Qingqing's males weren't around, he briskly strode towards her with his hands behind his back.
"I heard you're pregnant again. Is that true?"
Alva's gaze fell upon Bai Qingqing's abdomen, which was snow-white and slightly bulging, like a snow mountain in the cold season.
Alva felt that he must be under a curse. Why did he feel that the female's stomach was unbelievably beautiful?
Bai Qingqing laid a hand over her tummy, blocking his vision. A hint of disappointment flashed across Alva's eyes.
"Yeah, it should be a female baby, " Bai Qingqing said as she stroked her tummy.
Alva's body trembled."Female baby?"
Upon hearing what she said, the seeds of jealousy and regret buried in Alva's heart instantly sprouted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
He ought to have heeded his father's words back then. Qingqing's reproductive abilities were indeed incredible. If he had only treated Bai Qingqing better back when they were in the peacock village, perhaps by now he would already have become her mate. And maybe this female baby might even be his.
Overwhelmed with remorse, Alva wished he could go back to the past and punch himself.
"Alva?" Bai Qingqing waved a hand in front of his face.
He abruptly snapped out of his reverie and took out the animal skin bag he kept hidden behind his back.
"This is food for you."
Bai Qingqing retreated a step and repeatedly shook her head."I don't want it. My mates have gone out to look for food."
Wanting to escape, she looked left and right when she saw Molly running over.
Oh no.
Molly huffed and puffed as she ran over. One look at the shape of Alva's bag and she knew what was inside. She said in a delighted tone, "You really managed to find horned melons?"
Molly seemed eager for whatever was inside Alva's bag.
Bai Qingqing asked, "Horned melon?"
Molly shifted her gaze away from the bag and said excitedly, "Horned melons can only be found in the deserts. The hotter the weather, the better the effects. Horned melons can aid a female in going into heat."
Bai Qingqing was speechless.
Alva's blue brow raised as he said gleefully, "Qingqing, these are all for you."
Bai Qingqing's mouth twitched, and she shook her head even more vigorously now."No, no, no. I don't want them!"
The smile on Molly's face instantly froze. She looked at Bai Qingqing, then at Alva.
She had known that Alva was here for Bai Qingqing. Molly wasn't surprised by the fact that he fell for her. Holding back her aggrieved feelings, she said, "Bai Qingqing is already pregnant. Can you give me one?"
Alva immediately replied, "No."
The tears welled up in Molly's eyes instantly rolled down.
She had, after all, grown up as a dearly cherished female adored by all and could have whatever she wished for. This was the first time she was rejected. Furthermore, it was by a male she had a crush on. The sadness in her heart overwhelmed her want for the horned melon.
Molly stomped her foot and ran away crying.
"Molly!"
Bai Qingqing started giving chase but, worried it might harm the child, stopped. She shouted at Alva, "I told you I didn't want your things! Molly is my best friend here. If she gets mad, I won't talk to you ever again!"
Alva panicked at her words."Okay, I'll give it to her. Don't ignore me."
With that, he started chasing after Molly.
Bai Qingqing glared at Alva's back view. She had known that his showing up couldn't be a good thing. She only hoped that Molly wouldn't ignore her because of this.
"Is he harassing you?"
Winston's deep and masculine voice suddenly rang from the back.
"No." Bai Qingqing turned her head, her attention instantly shifting."What a big fish!"
