I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

Standing in the rain, rainwater streamed down its back, and its ears were slightly open.

The male elephant opposite was panting, blood seeping from a wound on its side, mixing with rainwater and flowing into the soil.

Yes, the ivory from the first year of junior high school still managed to scratch it.

It glanced at Chu Yi, slowly backed away, turned and left, its pace much slower than when it came.

Chu Yi didn't chase after it. He stood there until the figure disappeared into the rain before turning around and walking back to a spot a hundred meters away from the elephant herd. He then lowered his head and ate a mouthful of wet grass.

Even after chasing away a male elephant that was courting unwanted mates, it still didn't approach the herd and maintained a distance of about 100 meters.

The Mary family had witnessed the chaotic battle just now.

When Mary and her daughters saw that Chu Yi hadn't come over, they all looked puzzled.

The male elephant won the battle and will likely come to court a mate.

The first-year junior high student is already an adult.

But it didn't; it was just protecting them.

The mating season during the rainy season continues.

Two more male elephants in heat approached the direction of Mary's family, but were stopped by Chu Yi halfway.

It didn't attack first, but it stood there, its huge body and white fangs very intimidating.

A young male elephant tried to go around it. Chu Yi chased after it for a few steps and let out a low, long bellow. The male elephant then pressed its ears back and ran away.

Lan Xiaoxiao watched them from afar, without getting any closer.

She knew what Chu Yi was doing; it was protecting the family in its own way, neither getting close nor going far away.

That afternoon, the elephant herd was grazing near a patch of low bushes when a large gray figure strolled in from a distance.

Lan Xiaoxiao raised her head and squinted at it. It was a young male elephant, not even as tall as Chu Yi at the shoulder, with slightly curled edges on its ears. It looked somewhat familiar.

Mary's family discovered the male elephant, and of course, Chu Yi also discovered it.

Chu Yi had already walked past from the side, blocking the male elephant and the herd.

Chu Yi didn't immediately go and beat it or drive it away, because it recognized it as "Little Mud".

The young male elephant recognized them too. Although it was in heat, it remained relatively calm. It stopped, flapped its ears, and looked at Chu Yi.

Lan Xiaoxiao nudged her cousin with her nose: "Look at that elephant, doesn't it look like the one that got stuck in the mud when we were little?"

My cousin looked up and recognized it: "It's grown up, and the curve of its teeth is just right."

Lan Xiaoxiao was already certain in her heart, and she called out in the direction of Chu Yi: "It's a familiar elephant."

Grade 7: "Hmm, little mud."

...The nickname I gave someone eleven years ago.

The little mud stalk was clearly there to mate, but instead of fighting, it simply followed, following all the way.

At first glance, you might not understand which member of the Mary family it likes, but it absolutely cannot like the little cutie, or it will shove it away!

I remained vigilant throughout the first year of junior high, keeping a close eye on the little mud ball.

The two young male elephants, both new to the game and likely in their mating season, quietly followed the herd without fighting or forcing each other.

As evening fell, a young female elephant emerged from the herd.

It was Anqi's youngest daughter, eight years older than Lan Xiaoxiao. She was usually quiet and walked towards the direction of Xiaoniba.

Little Mudball was excited when it saw an elephant approaching. It became restless, lifted its two front legs off the ground, stood up on its hind legs, and let out a cry.

Mary's family of elephants watched, and Chu Yi watched from the other side.

My cousin and Little Mud, the two elephants, walked closer and closer, standing a few steps apart, as if sniffing each other, and then turned around together and walked towards the bushes further away.

Lan Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, "Have they hit it off? Are they going to start a relationship?!"

First day of the Lunar New Year: "Blessings."

Mary is very supportive of her children dating, as long as it's voluntary and they like each other.

The elephant herd stopped to rest in a meadow.

Lan Xiaoxiao immediately left the group and ran to find Chu Yi to play with!

Elephant sprints like a 100-meter dash! Lan Xiaoxiao quickly arrived in front of Chu Yi.

Standing next to Chu Yi, I nudged its shoulder with my nose: "Little Mud has grown up too. I almost forgot, it's about the same age as us. We haven't met in so many years, and I didn't expect to meet it when it's already an adult."

Chu Yi wrapped his nose around Lan Xiaoxiao's nose and said, "Mmm."

Lan Xiaoxiao chuckled: "They're on a date."

He didn't say anything on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Lan Xiaoxiao glanced at it. It was dusk, and Chu Yi's outline was very clear. Its shoulders and back were wider than last year, and there was a faint old scar on the edge of its ear, left from a confrontation with another male elephant a few days ago.

Lan Xiaoxiao put her head close to Chu Yi's ear, and Chu Yi's ear flapped, covering Lan Xiaoxiao's face.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he turned around and kissed her.

The wind blew through the bushes in the distance, and the blades of grass swayed slightly.

The breathing sound next to her ear was heavy, like the sound of exhaling through the nose. Chu Yi's ears were also twitching. Lan Xiaoxiao felt that the frequency was wrong.

Lan Xiaoxiao looked up: "First year of junior high?"

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the first-year student's eyes were a bit red, with visible blood vessels.

"Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Chu Yi smacked his lips and didn't say anything, but his body remained leaning against hers, and his nose was wrapped around hers.

Lan Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat. She slowly lowered herself and looked down at Chu Yi's belly. Wow, he had an extra leg.

That's really scary!

Did I go into heat on the first day of the lunar month? Was it today? Or did it start a few days ago?

"Xiaoxiao, you saw it." Chu Yi nuzzled against her, his tone strange, "Baby, shall we go on a date?"
