Looking for Food (2)

With the prickly fruits wedged between their bodies, the unprepared Parker didn't sense anything. On the contrary, Bai Qingqing, who was prepared for it, felt a sharp pain from being pricked.

"Aiyah!" Bai Qingqing yelped in pain. She loosened her grip, and the prickly fruits scattered all over the ground.

Upon detecting the smell, the little cubs rushed over. They lowered their heads, and the tip of their noses was pricked by the thorns, causing them to let out continuous roars and shake their heads repeatedly.

Parker hurriedly set her down to check. There was now a tiny red dot on Bai Qingqing's snow-white chest from being pricked by the fruit.

He bent over to blow upon her chest with a pained expression.

"Does it hurt a lot?"

Bai Qingqing gasped and stroked her chest, before saying, "A little. I'll be fine in a while. Hurry up and peel the chestnuts. I want to eat them."
