“Auntie, I want to touch it too!” Lil Sun was beaming with anticipation.
Nuannuan replied with a smile, “It’s called Da Bai. You all know that it’s a lion, a ferocious beast, so it’s not really up to me if you can touch it or not. Da Bai has to decide itself. But don’t worry, I’ve already told Da Bai. It won’t bite.”
Upon hearing that Da Bai would not bite anyone, Lil Ling’er was instantly ready to touch Da Bai.
As long as she touched him, even if Da Bai disagreed, it would not bite her because her aunt had said that Da Bai would not bite.
Thus, Lil Ling’er extended her hand toward Da Bai, catching him off guard as her hand petted its body.
Da Bai’s soft fur and muscular body were extremely comfortable to touch.
Lil Ling’er, who had always taken a liking to soft and fluffy things since she was young, rubbed her hands together in excitement.
Da Bai glanced at Lil Ling’er, and when its eyes met her large, watery eyes, he rubbed his head affectionately against her.
Lil Ling’er was overjoyed. When Da Bai stretched its head over to nuzzle her, she felt an ambitious urge overwhelm her and she rapidly wrap her arms around Da Bai.
Even Nuannuan was taken aback by Lil Ling’er’s ferocity.
Due to the unprofessional way that Lil Ling’er was hugging Da Bai, her grip on Da Bai was extremely tight. Nuannuan readied herself to berate Da Bai if Da Bai started to get angry. Unexpectedly, even though Da Bai was not feeling comfortable, he was very fond of Lil Ling’er’s hug (strangle). It stuck out its tongue as it puffed at her to express its goodwill.
When Lil Sun saw how cute Da Bai was, even his mature self could not hold him back anymore. He stretched out his little hand and was about to touch Da Bai’s lion head.
Who knew that the happy Da Bai would suddenly break free from Lil Ling’er’s grasp just as Lil Sun’s hand was about to land on its head? It abruptly turned around and howled loudly at Lil Sun.
Da Bai instantly transformed from a huge, huggable dog to a ferocious beast. Lil Sun was caught off guard and fell to the ground in fright.
Even though Da Bai did not open its jaws to bite anyone, but its ferocious expression still scared the Nangong family, and they hurried over.
Lil Ling’er, on the other hand, was stunned, and then she laughed out loud mercilessly.
“Hahahaha, Da Bai won’t let you touch it! We’ll see if you’ll keep saying I’m useless!”
Lil Sun, “…”
“Da Bai, come, let’s cuddle and show him!”
As soon as Lil Ling’er finished speaking, Da Bai, who had been baring its teeth and roaring at Lil Sun a moment ago, transformed into a super adorable pet and began to nuzzle its body against Lil Ling’er. Not only did it nuzzle Lil Ling’er, but it also kept yelping in an adorable manner.
The furry lion’s head gently rubbed against the little girl, and it tickled her so much that she kept trying to avoid it. However, Da Bai kept rubbing against her, and Lil Ling’er’s peals of giggles rang from time to time.
Nuannuan was about to help Lil Sun, who had fallen to the ground, but Nangong Jin tugged at her sleeve to stop her.
Then, Lil Sun got up from the ground and patted his hands. Nuannuan realized that he scraped his hands when he fell.
“…”
Nuannuan wanted to say that Lil Sun was still so young. Although everyone doted on Lil Ling’er and the girls of the Nangong family, the difference in treatment between children should not have been so drastic.
However, Lil Sun was not her son after all. With that, there were many things that she was not in the position to say.
After getting up from the ground, Lil Sun kept his distance from Da Bai. He stared at Da Bai and Lil Ling’er with wide eyes as they nuzzled up against each other.
His gaze made Nuannuan’s heart ache.
“Xu’er, extend your hand. Let Second Granduncle apply some medicine on your hand.”
