Parker placed a hand over her head and held her as they walked into a cave. "It's raining. Let's hide in there."
Bai Qingqing's heart ached as she looked into the dark cave. She nodded and replied, "Okay."
The cave hadn't changed much. The stone walls were still black.
"Meow meow—" The cubs in the animal skin cried out.
Bai Qingqing composed herself before unwrapping the animal skin and taking a look. "They pooped."
"Rascals. Why are you so dirty?" Parker chided them softly as he placed them on the ground one by one.
The young leopards felt shy towards Parker as he was still like a stranger to them. They timidly glanced at his legs for a moment before turning and walking towards Bai Qingqing.
"Be gentle. You've scared them," She said, chiding him. She crouched down and gently stroked the cubs' heads.
