She was so tempted to take a bite and see how she tasted. Yuan Qi took a bite at the woman's face, then crouched down in tears, clutching her mouth. She'd nearly broken her teeth. - Someone brought Yuan Qi home. The woman didn't even mind that she'd bitten her, and took good care of her, feeding her delicious food.

The woman had started controlling what she ate! Yuan Qi, dizzy with hunger, eyed Qing Wu whenever she came into view, and whenever she got the chance, she tried to bite her. Even though she never actually got to taste her, she never got tired of trying. Watching the woman bite down on her index finger like a teething ring again, Qing Wu curled her fingertip and scratched her palate. At the shocked look she gave her, Qing Wu laughed helplessly. "You silly thing." - Qing Wu had been waiting at the foot of the mountain since early morning, hoping to see the person she'd longed for so much. She never expected the one who showed up to come rushing at her, trying to take a bite. Sure enough, Qing Wu saw the other woman's eyes red from crying.
