Bai Guo finally managed to feed the children a full meal. After warming the sweet milk in her arms, she asked Wang Yan to help open it before feeding it to the little mouse in her arms.

The rich aroma of meat filled the little biscuits and cakes, who had been starving for several days. They wanted to eat more because they were greedy, but Baiguo stopped them, preventing the two little mice from bursting their bellies.

Yingluo looked at the scene before her, her eyes seemed to light up, and her pinkish-gray furry fox tail swayed, showing the joy in her heart. However, without dinner, she would still be hungry.

Wang Yan put his arm around her shoulder and teased her:

Are you hungry?

The big fox raised its head, clearly wanting to show off, but after a busy day, how could it not be hungry? At that moment, its stomach rumbled, causing Yingluo's fox ears to droop, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Hehe~

Of course, Wang Yan would pamper his silly girl. How could he let the big fox go hungry? He took out a loaf of bread and a can of meat broth from the warehouse. Yingluo's big eyes seemed to pop out of little stars. She hugged Wang Yan's neck again and kissed his cheek, which made Wang Yan a little embarrassed.

"Where did this silly fox learn that from..."

After a hearty meal, Little Biscuit carefully placed the uneaten food in a corner of the cave. She then took out a piece of cloth and wrapped the ginseng. There was no way to light a fire in the cave, so she could only go outside to make soup for her mother after dawn the next day. She had seen that the gentlemen of Rat Potato City loved to drink soup made with this stuff. With this, her mother would surely get better.

After tidying up and obtaining Wang Yan's consent, Bai Guo extinguished the torch, blocked the entrance to the cave with a large rock, and then the two mice, barefoot, squeezed onto the bed. Bai Guo placed the baby mouse on his head, and the two mice snuggled into his arms. The family of four thus slowly drifted off to sleep.

This was their first full meal since fleeing from Potato City. The lingering taste of the delicious food allowed the two little mice, Cookie and Cake, to indulge in another feast in their dreams, their lips curving upwards in sweet dreams.

Wang Yan pulled Yingluo into the quilt. The soft texture was a hundred times more comfortable than straw mats or animal hides. As soon as she snuggled in, Yingluo almost fell asleep from the comfort. She had to resist the drowsiness and hold on to the comfort. It wasn't until the two of them were cuddling together that it felt like a proper training session.

She wrapped her soft arms around his neck, the two of them so close that Wang Yan could clearly hear Yingluo's breathing. Her warm breath gently patted his cheek, and for a moment, he felt a little distracted.

Subconsciously, Wang Yan brought his lips to hers, and in that instant, his lips met Yingluo's pink lips. The big fox didn't know what Wang Yan was doing, but at that moment, her heart was pounding, and she seemed to really like this feeling.

Perhaps out of instinct, Yingluo's kissing skills became increasingly proficient. Without any guidance, she took the initiative to extend her soft, peach-like tongue, pry open Wang Yan's lips and teeth, and intertwined with his.

Just like when the two first met, there was that ridiculous "artificial respiration".

"Hmm~"

Slightly dazed from the kiss, and just as the fox was nearly intoxicated, Wang Yan released his lips. Yingluo, like a drowning person pulled ashore, nestled against his neck, panting heavily. All that could be heard was the thumping of their hearts, gradually synchronizing.

The two didn't exchange any whispered words, only a passionate kiss. Yingluo knew that she had fallen in love with this feeling.

I slept soundly through the night.

Wang Yan was a light sleeper. Even though he was certain that the family posed no threat, he still had to be cautious. After all, there was no guarantee that the mother rat wouldn't have any malicious intentions when he took out so much food. Fortunately, there was no disturbance throughout the night, allowing the two of them to rest peacefully.

The next morning, around four or five o'clock, Wang Yan woke Yingluo up, tidied up, and made sure not to wake the nest of baby mice. Before leaving, Wang Yan left nearly a hundred kilograms of potatoes next to the hole. For him, this was just a day's production, but for the nest of hungry mice, it might be the key to their survival.

He wasn't trying to give alms; he just didn't want to upset Yingluo.

After dealing with all of this, he took Yingluo's hand and hurried home as the morning light began to break.

After all, Wang Yan didn't want Sister Zhuohua to worry too much.

The two traveled at full speed, stopping very rarely, and arrived home in just about three hours. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Wang Yan encountered a group of people preparing to go out. Even You Li was awake. Zhuo Hua was slightly stunned at first, then breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't scold them too much, or show too much worry; she simply raised her hand and patted their heads.

"It's good that you're back."

However, the two lively characters, Zhizhi and Huayue, were quite different. They pounced on Wang Yan and Yingluo, with Zhizhi hugging Wang Yan's waist and looking like she was about to cry.

"(˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅) Waaaaah, I thought you two were in some kind of danger, I didn't sleep well all night! Thank goodness you're back!"

Wang Yan's lips twitched slightly. Anyone who didn't know better would think something had happened to him. However, Zhizhi was just overly worried about him, so he didn't say anything. He looked up at Zhuohua and said seriously:

"Yesterday, when Yingluo and I were out gathering, we encountered two rat children. They said they had fled from the distant Rat Potato City. To find out why, I took Yingluo to check it out, and it turned out to be true. However, this delayed us, so we had to stay overnight."

Upon hearing this, Zhuohua nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Rat Potato City...fleeing...well, now that you're all back, everyone come in first, and tell me the details."

Wang Yan nodded. He and Yingluo did need to rest, so the group entered the cave and listened to Wang Yan recount his experiences from the previous day. They also learned that they had a new neighbor.

Wang Yan had already investigated whether this new neighbor was good or bad; they were just a family of rats who couldn't even get enough to eat. However, since they had a neighbor, Zhuo Hua thought she should try her best to help them. After all, the neighbor had three hungry babies, which was similar to her own experience, and it immediately aroused her sympathy.

So he discussed it with Wang Yan and they agreed to visit him together a few days later.

After a minor incident, the matter came to an end, and the family resumed their usual life of stockpiling food.

Wang Yan initially thought, since he can conjure up food, why should he keep hoarding it?

Zhuohua explained it to him like this: even if these things are not eaten, they can be collected, dried, and exchanged for some useful things when the traveling merchants come. Otherwise, they are just sitting idle. This aroused Wang Yan's curiosity again. What kind of people are these mysterious traveling merchants that Zhuohua mentioned?
