Chapter 48 - Little Lion


When Zhao Xixi went to bed at night, she hugged the tiger cub’s arm and kept saying, “I’m so happy, I’m so happy.”

She is so happy that the big dog is Ah Bao and has grown up, and Ah Bao is also so awesome!

Mom and Dad said they would live in a big house from now on so that she could play with Ah Bao and the tiger cub.

After a while, the younger brother will come out, and they can play together!

Zhao Xixi is a little girl who prefers liveliness, so she was very happy.

The tiger cub touched her head and said, “You will always be happy.”

Tiger Cub suddenly remembered something. Now he had turned into a child, and then he took out a small sign tag from his neck. He remembered that Zhao Xixi said yesterday that she also wanted a sign like Ah Bao.

The tiger cub doesn’t have anything important. He used to think that his mother had left this thing, so he kept it with him, but now he found out that it was not his mother’s.

The silver sign tag was small and beautiful. Tiger Cub gave the sign to Zhao Xixi: “Here...”

Zhao Xixi thought about it and originally wanted to say that this was something your mother gave to you, but then she suddenly remembered that it was not her mother’s.

The tiger cub: “Give it to you.”

Zhao Xixi was so happy and said, “Then I will carry it with me every day, and I will never lose it.”

When she woke up the next morning, the tiger cub was gone. Zhao Xixi came out of her room and saw Ah Bao eating dog food.

Mom and Dad were looking at the computer and discussing something.

Father Zhao turned his head when he heard the voice and saw his daughter wearing pajamas underneath and a coat outside: “Mom, Dad, good morning.”

Mother Zhao: “Good morning, baby.”

Father Zhao came over and said, “Has your best friend left yet?” They actually didn’t sleep well in the past two days. Now that they saw the news and knew other things, they felt even more uneasy.

“He’s gone, but I’ll see him when he gets to school soon.” Zhao Xixi said it with a smile.

Although Zhao Xixi didn’t know how to read newspapers or know current affairs news, when she arrived at school, she realized everyone was staring at the tiger cub.

Zhao Xixi didn’t understand why they were all staring at the tiger cub. Zhao Xixi also looked at the tiger cub, his best friend, carefully. Today his fur was well-combed, and his fur was so smooth. He also washed his face. A very good-looking little tiger.

Zhao Xixi didn’t understand why everyone else was staring at the tiger cub. Could it be that they were staring at how good-looking the tiger cub was?

After walking for a while, Zhao Xixi and the tiger cub sat on the seat together. Zhao Xixi couldn’t help but look at the lion cub’s position, and then she noticed that the lion cub still didn’t come to class today.

It’s been two days, and is he still not cured of his cold? Didn’t Uncle take him for an injection? He would definitely be better if he got an injection.

Zhao Xixi thought in her heart that if she met that uncle again, she must tell him to take the lion cub for an injection. Children need injections to get better when they have a cold. This is what parents say.

Just when Zhao Xixi was thinking about the lion cub catching a cold, the little crow behind whispered, “Zhao Xixi, do you know?”

Zhao Xixi turned her head and said, “Know about what?” She didn’t like the little crow very much, but if the little crow talked to her, she would still answer.

“The tiger cub is a saber-toothed tiger cloned,” said a little crow.

Another little crow followed the example of an adult and said, “Cloning and resurrecting extinct creatures, and it’s still a beast of that period. God will punish anyone who goes against the laws of nature!”

“The focus is not on this cloned tiger but on this new breakthrough. More cloned ancient creatures will definitely appear in the future, and there may even be creatures like Tyrannosaurus rex. By then, the earth will be one step closer to extinction.“

The little crows have very good language skills and good memories. They imitate as if the adult who said this were here. In fact, these two little crows themselves don’t understand what they are talking about, but it makes them feel so happy and proud to learn to speak like adults.

Zhao Xixi didn’t understand most of what they said. She felt confused all about cloning extermination, Tyrannosaurus rex, and the saber-toothed tiger, but it doesn’t stop her from being unhappy. Children mostly judge the quality of words by their tone, not by the content inside.

The tiger cub turned back and looked at the two little crows who were talking. He didn’t make any threatening gestures or even make a threatening sound. He just glanced at them, and the two little crows immediately shut up.

The tiger cub then turned his head and said to the stupid and angry Zhao Xixi, “It’s okay.”

The Tiger King did not forcefully dig up his identity, but the Lion King was too impatient and exposed too many things about him.

The Lion King’s original plan was to use the tiger cub to research the potion that could turn the monster cubs into humans. By then, even all humans and monsters will know that he used cloning to resurrect the saber-toothed tiger in order to get the potion; the monsters will inevitably turn to him and will not have anything to fear about humans' reactions.

But no one thought that there was no way he could get the tiger cub. In other words, the monster cub’s transformation that was mentioned before is just an empty promise now.

The Tiger King also grasped this point and found the tiger cub, requiring his cooperation.

At the beginning, the Tiger King proposed a plan for the tiger cub to go abroad. He is too young now, and the risk is too high. When he grows up, he will have the foundation of a saber-toothed tiger. And when the time comes, he will get the result twice with half the effort.

But the tiger cub refused.

He chose to announce the Lion King’s cloning and resurrection of the Sabertooth Tiger.

Now that there is no potion to transform the monster cubs, the Lion King will face more than just a human crusade.

The tiger cub guessed right. For humans, it is already annoying enough to have monsters overpowering them. Now the monsters actually broke the conventional rules and used cloning technology to resurrect saber-toothed tigers. If they can resurrect saber-toothed tigers today, they can resurrect dinosaurs tomorrow. Then what about the day after tomorrow?

Humanity is facing unprecedented challenges. Therefore, for four consecutive days, three circles of crowds surrounded inside and outside Tenglong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., demanding the handover of the person in charge of the experiment, investors, and participants, as well as the cloned saber-toothed tiger.

Zhao Xixi was still in kindergarten. She didn’t know what was happening outside, but she could feel that there were no smiles on the faces of the adults. Everyone had a straight face, as if they had been hungry for several days.

The lion cub did not come to school on the third day. Not only that, the tiger cub also did not come to school today.

When Zhao Xixi entered the classroom with her small schoolbag on her back, she waited for a long time but didn’t see him, so she went to find the teacher.

“Teacher Tao Hua, have you seen the tiger cub? Why didn’t he come to class today?”

Teacher Tao Hua knelt down and said, “Tiger Cub has something to do today. He will probably be able to come back once he has understood it.”

Zhao Xixi said, Oh, and then asked, “What did he do? I also want to help him. Can I go too?”

Teacher Tao Hua said, “Just wait at school obediently. Teacher promises you he will come back safely.”

“If you go, he will be very worried about you, and it will be difficult to do things.”

“Then, Teacher, can you see him? Will Teacher look for him? When will he come back?”

Teacher Tao Hua said, “I’m going to teach you today, so it was the bearded teacher who sent him there.”

Zhao Xixi said, Oh, and walked forward, walking slowly, looking small and cute.

Teacher Tao Hua then called the bearded teacher and asked if they were already there.

The bearded teacher quickly replied, “We're already here.”

Originally, the Tiger King sent monsters to pick up the tiger cub, but because something on the road blocked the people he had sent, they were anxious. And Teacher Tao Hua had something to do in the morning, so it was the bearded teacher who sent the tiger cub.

Zhao Xixi walked so slowly on purpose, so when Teacher Tao Hua called, she heard it. She quickly turned around and ran over in a few steps, then said, “Teacher, did you call the bearded teacher? Is the tiger cub by his side? Can I talk to the tiger cub? We haven’t said good morning today. We have agreed to say good morning every day."

Because they are best friends, they have to say good morning to each other every morning and then say good night at night.

The bearded teacher said, “Maybe not now. We have already gotten off the bus. I will tell you when we come back later. Just wait at school.”

Zhao Xixi heard that the tiger cub had left. Although she wanted to talk to the tiger cub, Zhao Xixi thought about it and decided to wait until the tiger cub came back before saying good morning to him.

Without the tiger cub sitting next to her, Zhao Xixi could no longer read or draw, and her lunch no longer tasted good.

She doesn’t know where the tiger cub went.

Zhao Xixi lay limply on the table. Where did the tiger cub go? What was he busy with? Can she help?

At this moment, a small, timid voice appeared: “Do you... do you... want to go with us to... the lion cub’s house to see him?”

The little crow added, “My father said that the lion cub had a fever and was going to die.”

Zhao Xixi opened her eyes wide. Dying was a very scary thing for a child.

Although Zhao Xixi didn’t like the lion cub, she was still so scared. Soon, the teacher will pick up the other cubs. Zhao Xixi immediately went to tell Teacher Tao Hua: “Teacher Tao Hua, Teacher Tao Hua, I want to go to see the lion cub with other students too.”

Teacher Tao Hua frowned. Something had indeed happened to the lion cub, but she was not sure about letting Zhao Xixi go to the Lion King’s house with the other monster children.

After all, Zhao Xixi really offended people in the principal’s office two days ago. Although she didn’t mean it, it was even more frustrating because she didn’t mean it.

Teacher Tao Hua looked at Zhao Xixi; her eye circles were a little red. Although the relationship between this child and the lion cub was quite bad, the child herself was not as insistent on life and death as the adults.

The Lion King was busy dealing with the Tiger King, and something happened to a child at home. She and most of the teachers from the kindergarten had to go there to see the lion cub. It was inconvenient to leave Zhao Xixi here alone, so it was better to take her there too.

So Teacher Tao Hua nodded, picked up Little Xixi, and said, “Don’t wander around then, you know?”

Zhao Xixi nodded and said, “I won't... I won’t. I will obey.”

So Teacher Tao Hua took Zhao Xixi and the other cubs in the class, as well as the other teachers, then drove to the lion cub’s home.

Until Zhao Xixi was as big as now, she had only been to the tiger cub’s house. She has never been to other places. At least this is the first time she has been to the lion cub’s house.

The lion cub’s home is halfway up the mountain, winding up the winding mountain road. Zhao Xixi lay by the window and looked at the scenery outside. She didn’t know how long it took before she finally heard what the teacher said.

When Zhao Xixi got out of the car, she saw such a big house. Zhao Xixi opened her eyes wide.

Soon, someone came to pick them up.

Zhao Xixi saw many beautiful aunts, and the beautiful aunt at the front was crying.

Zhao Xixi was too young, so she just stood behind the other friends, not knowing what to do.

“Those are the lion cub’s mothers. He seems to have more than thirty mothers.”

Zhao Xixi opened her eyes wide. He has so many mothers?

Zhao Xixi secretly glanced at those beautiful aunts again, and it turned out that these were the mothers of the lion cub...

Soon, the teachers finished their exchange with the lion queen and took a few cubs in to see the lion cubs.

Zhao Xixi walked in the back. As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a very strange smell. She wanted to cover her nose, but her mother told her not to tell other people if they smelled. That was rude, so Zhao Xi Xi did not cover her nose but continued walking.

Soon, Zhao Xixi saw the little lion lying on the bed. Zhao Xixi had never seen such a thin little lion before. The lion cub was lying on the bed with his little head exposed, and the quilt covered his forelimbs. He did not speak or open his eyes. He looks so pitiful.

The other cubs left after looking at him. Zhao Xixi stopped for a moment and saw something white.

Zhao Xixi paused for a moment and then saw the little lion open his eyes, revealing a pair of bright red eyes.

His movement was so sudden that Zhao Xixi was so frightened that she backed away and squatted on the ground.

Then she quickly got up again. Why did the little lion’s eyes look like a rabbit's eyes? They were red.

Zhao Xixi came to the bed. Although she was so startled just now, Zhao Xixi still stretched out her little hand, followed her mother’s example, and touched the lion cub’s head. Although the lion cub's head was full of fur, Zhao Xixi still felt that his head was very hot, so Zhao Xixi whispered, “Lion Cub, you have a cold. Didn’t your father take you for an injection?”

The little lion looked at Zhao Xixi, coughed twice painfully, and said, “I got the injection. It’s just the injection that makes me like this...”

Zhao Xixi: “Ah?”

Zhao Xixi didn’t understand. It would obviously get better after the injection. How did he become like this after the injection?

She sat on the edge of the bed, unable to figure out the problem.

The other cubs had already gone out because the smell in this room was so unpleasant.

The little lion said, “My mother said I was going to die.”

Zhao Xixi always talked a lot, but at this time she didn’t know what to say, so she just sat here and listened to the little lion talk.

The lion cub added, “I don’t know what it’s like to die. I still want to go to school, but my dad won’t let me go.”

The little lion talked about many things. For example, he felt he was the most powerful one, not the tiger cub.

Zhao Xixi felt he was so pathetic, so she let him go once without refuting the matter.

The little lion talked for a while, and then there were footsteps outside. Zhao Xixi was about to leave, but the little lion said, “It’s my dad. Hurry and hide under the bed!”

Zhao Xixi hid very obediently and lay on the ground. Only then did Zhao Xixi realize why she was hiding. She was not here to steal anything.

At this time, the door had opened, and several people came in. Zhao Xixi saw several pairs of big shoes stepping on the ground, and...

The tiger cub's legs!

Zhao Xixi hangs out with Tiger Cub every day. Even if he only has four hairy feet, Zhao Xixi can still recognize him as a tiger cub!

Did the tiger cub also come to see the lion cub?
