Caught in the act, Alva stopped trying to hide.

He landed on a branch in front of the tree hole, raising his head proudly. He shook off the water on his body and turned into his human form.

“Splas.h.!.+”

His feather shrank into his skin, squeezing out a tremendous amount of rainwater.

“I saw that you’re too pitiful, wanting to eat fruits, but your mate can’t find any. That’s why I brought some for you in pa.s.sing.” Alva picked up the fruits and tossed them toward the tree hole.

Molly grabbed them with both hands, picked one, and started eating.

“It’s so sour.”

Alva said angrily, “If it’s sour, then throw it away. I won’t bring any for you in the future.”

Molly quickly said, “I like to eat sour ones, the sourer, the better.”

Alva’s countenance turned for the better, and his gaze pa.s.sed by Molly and looked at the tree hole behind her. Seeing that there weren’t any other males, he secretly felt happy about it.

“You still only have one mate?” Alva turned his head away and asked as if only asking in pa.s.sing.

Molly pouted helplessly, saying, “That’s right. All the males went to woo the females that just joined the village.”

“Aren’t you planning to look for one more? That mate of yours had his ear bitten…”

Before Alva finished his words, he was struck on the head by a fruit Molly had thrown toward him.

“He’s called Edgar!” Molly glared at him.

Alva’s mood felt exceptionally good even though he was. .h.i.t.

It seemed that Molly was also a female who cared for her mate. Even though he was unable to win Bai Qingqing’s hand, it didn’t seem like a bad idea to become Molly’s mate, either.

“Hmph, that mate of yours is too useless,” Alva spoke sarcastically about Edgar again. “He can’t even find the food that you want to eat. If it wasn’t because I came across you saying that you want to eat fruits, you wouldn’t have been able to eat any.”

Another fruit went smas.h.i.+ng toward him.

Alva caught it with one hand, tossed it in his mouth, and chewed.

“Pffft!” Alva spat out the juice in his mouth and glared at Molly in horror. “It’s so disgusting, yet you’re able to eat it?”

“That’s none of your business. If you continue to say bad things about Edgar, I won’t take your fruits!” Molly said angrily.

As she wasn’t able to win his hand, Molly was easily angered by Alva. It had already become a habit for her to flare up at him.

Alva stuck out his tongue and washed it in the rain for a while before putting it back into his mouth. Despite that, he still felt an extremely sour taste in his mouth.

“I just want to ask if you are still looking for a mate. If you don’t look for one, there won’t be any more single males in the village,” Alva said.

Molly stopped attacking and stuffed the last fruit into her mouth, chewing on it, and said, “Not looking.”

Alva’s eyes gleamed even brighter. That was good. She wasn’t planning on looking for other males anymore. Molly had liked him so much in the past. He just needed to say a word, and he’d definitely be able to become her mate.

As for the tiger who had lost his ear, he was of the same level as him and wasn’t as doted. There was no need to fear him.

“I’ll wait until there’s an even stronger male in the village before I make my choice!” Molly said with a lofty aspiration!

Alva, who had been immersed in a beautiful dream, was speechless.

He felt as if he had been drenched by a bucket of cold water and an indescribable sense of disappointment.

However, Alva didn’t think too much into it. One felt disappointment only when one harbored hope. The reason he felt upset because of her words was enough to prove that he had fallen for her.

“I wonder when new males will join the village. You can slowly wait,” Alva said, feeling displeased. He turned into his beast form and flew off.

Molly watched as the peac.o.c.k flew away. Her face scrunched up and she mumbled, “He left just like that.”

Qingqing was still saying that Alva liked her. It didn’t look like that was the case at all.

Alva had saved her before. If he liked her, he could just stay at her place. Therefore, it was impossible for Alva to like her. It must be that Bai Qingqing had gotten him to send food for her.
