Chapter 503: Qiqi, Who Finds No Joy in Living
Baba and Didi had roughhoused for a while before they set their sights on Qiqi, who was sleeping.
Crawling up behind Qiqi’s buttocks, they lay down and clawed at the black tassel at the tip of Qiqi’s tail.
Qiqi lay on the grass, their eyelids subconsciously twitching.
Here it comes, here it comes!
Life was once so carefree, so idyllic and peaceful.
Every morning upon waking, I’d inspect the lion exhibit, check my territory.
Then I’d lie on the grass, bask in the sun, sleep, enjoying the pleasant breeze, and after waking, I’d move around a bit, eat some meat.
If I felt bored, I’d tease the visitors, pee a yellow puddle against the glass wall or suddenly pounce toward them, watching them panic, even fall over in fright.
The prank was successful, leaving me with a feeling of triumphant satisfaction!
Now, fortune has reversed, and it’s my turn to be tormented by the cubs.
Ever since the little lions arrived, my once serene life has turned into a constant headache.
Every day, I’m harassed countless times; I can’t even sleep in peace!
Just when the young lions finally went off to play with their mother, they were back in no time.
Newly born lion cubs, at the playful and fearless age, having no understanding of fear.
Baba fiddled with Qiqi’s tail tassel a couple of times before biting it in their mouth.
Chewing grudgingly on Qiqi’s tail, Baba suddenly spat it out, wrinkling their nose, baring their teeth, revealing an expression of disgust.
The taste didn’t seem very good!
Seizing the moment when Baba loosened their grip, Qiqi flicked their tail and coiled it up!
Baba’s eyes widened in surprise, Huh, you think your tail can run away?
Stay put! Stop moving!
Taking two steps forward, they pinned the tail down again.
Zhazha meanwhile approached from behind Qiqi, tugging at the dense mane around their neck!
Dad, Dad, stop sleeping, play with us for a while!
Qiqi didn’t want to get up, their eyes squinted into slits, their lips peeling back to reveal sharp fangs, the corner of their mouth twitched backward, and a low growl emanated from their throat.
Seemingly saying, I want to sleep, don’t bother me! Go play with your mom!
Their hind legs also kicked out, trying to push Baba further away.
Baba stumbled and became even more outrageous in his behavior, climbing onto Qiqi’s backside.
Wolf exhibit.
Above the entrance, the rock wall was carved with images of wolves in action, giving off an ancient, weathered feeling, as though it had stood the test of time. Deep inside the dark cave, torch-shaped lamps that emitted a yellow glow created an illusion.
It was as if one had traveled back thousands of years and was observing wolves as a caveman.
Although it wasn’t Liu Wei’s first time at the wolf exhibit, he still couldn’t help but slow down as he entered.
The environment of the wolf exhibit was very atmospheric, easily immersing visitors.
Male lions are lazy by nature, spending their days sleeping.
Even a temperate one like Kaka, willing to play with the lion cubs, wasn’t very proactive.
But wolves were different!
As Liu Wei and his group approached, they saw Charcoal with the wolf cubs, frolicking and playing.
At the water’s edge, sparse reeds swayed with the wind.
Charcoal entered the pond, splashing and making his way to the middle of the water, "whoosh whoosh whoosh". Explore more at novelhall.Côm
Then he turned back towards the wolf cubs with gleaming eyes and let out a loud "ao~" as if to encourage the cubs to follow him in!
The water at the edge of the pond behind him was quite shallow, barely covering the paws and only reaching up to the lower leg, with calm and still currents, unlike the rapid and turbulent flows near the waterfall.
The wolf cubs usually drank water on the shore and played with it using their paws.
Now at over two months, nearly three, Charcoal felt the cubs were big enough. He wanted to take them into the water to play and swim a bit as a way to build their courage.
Though Charcoal didn’t have a specific concept, he instinctively believed it would be beneficial for the cubs’ growth!
Mizzle lay quietly on the bank, watching attentively, ready to rescue at any moment to prevent the cubs from drowning.
Little Black jumped into the water with commendable courage, without hesitation, following Charcoal.
The water, not deeper than Charcoal’s lower leg, was just a few steps for the wolf, enough to cover their necks.
He was brave, barely arrived at the wolf exhibit when he wanted to play in the water, but Mizzle, considering it too dangerous, quickly grabbed his neck and pulled him back.
His first time in the water, he was very excited!
Wagging his tail cheerfully, he made his way to Charcoal’s side and received a warm, enthusiastic licking from Charcoal’s tongue.
The other two wolf cubs, seeing their brother went into the water, extended their paws to test the water surface, seemingly contemplating their next move.
After hesitating for a moment, they too jumped in and walked forward.
The somewhat timid cub dipped his paws into the water and then retracted them as if shocked by electricity.
Seeing his siblings happily playing in the water, he anxiously ran back and forth along the pond’s edge.
Crouching for a long time without the courage to enter the water, he looked at Mizzle with pleading eyes and let out a weak whimper.
Mom, I’m scared!
