Nan Ge nodded. Indeed, this time, they were fortunate to have Shu Shuishui. Without Shu Shuishui’s discovery of the valley, avoiding this conflict would have been impossible. Although they were confident they wouldn’t lose in a conflict, engaging in a confrontation right before the cold wave arrived would have meant both sides fighting desperately, potentially resulting in injuries.

“But it still feels uncomfortable,” Yu Jin chimed in. “That guy with the last name Dong calculated that we’d have concerns, which is why he dared to act like this.” It was the kind of covert mockery that made people feel stifled. Yu Jin despised these situations the most—attacks from ambush, targeting the most unexpected moments.

Coincidentally, Shu Shuishui came out to check the situation, braving the wind. Both of his little ears were flattened by the wind, but Shu Shuishui extended his small paw to shield Gu Langu’s ear.

Upon realizing his paw wasn’t big enough, Shu Shuishui scooted over and used his own fluffy body to block the wind.

Gu Langu plucked the little dormouse from his ear and put it in the pocket of his shirt. “Shui Shui, warm my pocket.”

Shu Shuishui wriggled in the pocket for a moment, finding the most comfortable position. Although he didn’t understand why he needed to warm a pocket, he still obediently agreed. “Alright~ Not just the pocket. When we go to sleep tonight, I can warm your bedding for you, too.”

The previously gloomy atmosphere instantly dissipated. Those around them couldn’t help but smile. Yu Jin even burst into laughter. “Shui Shui warming the boss’s bedding? It can probably just warm a toe, haha…”

Shu Shuishui took a deep breath, trying to puff himself up a bit. He even tried to stretch his whiskers, making himself look larger. “Warming a toe is the same as warming the bedding. Besides, I’ll grow to 1.8 meters!”

The others couldn’t help but imagine a scene of a giant mouse lying in Gu Langu’s bed, warming the bedding. Suddenly, they felt that they also needed a 1.8-meter-tall mouse in this icy world.

Gu Langu imagined a scene of a human-shaped and obedient Shu Shuishui lying in bed, warming the bedding. In an instant, his heartbeats seemed to accelerate.

With Shu Shuishui pressed against Gu Langu’s chest, he naturally felt Gu Langu’s strong heartbeat. Realizing the situation, he leaned his little head against Gu Langu’s chest and placed one of his small ears against it, listening to his heartbeat.

Gu Langu quickly became aware of Shu Shuishui’s action of acting as a stethoscope. In a second, he adjusted his heartbeat.

Shu Shuishui, leaning against Gu Langu’s chest, shook his little ears in confusion. However, after sensing that Gu Langu’s heart rate was indeed normal, the dormouse-shaped stethoscope settled back into place.

Yu Jin took advantage of the situation and got close to Gu Langu. “Shui Shui, let’s negotiate. When you grow to 1.8 meters, warm my bedding in advance too.”

With a cry, Yu Jin covered his eyes and retreated several steps. He looked at Gu Langu with a pitiful expression. “Say if you’ll take action if I provoked you. I don’t even have the slightest presence. How can I go settle things with that guy surnamed Dong?”

Beside them, Xie Feng instantly kept quiet, giving up on the idea of getting a warm 1.8-meter-tall mouse.

Nan Fang leaned in close to Nan Ge’s ear. “Brother, compared to Yu Jin, do you feel that I’m exceptionally outstanding?”

Nan Ge cast a glance at his younger brother. “You sure know how to pick your moments.”

After a brief bout of laughter, the group focused on their discussion again. Once they understood the situation, Shu Shuishui also felt that Dong Shijun’s actions were inappropriate, especially for a dormouse. His nest was incredibly important and he wouldn’t allow anyone to invade.
