After devouring the roast green bull beast that Layla had brought over, Ji Nuan, clutching the chubby lion cub, fell into a deep sleep.
At the dead of the night, a faint rustling sound came from behind the tent. The lion cub instantly opened its golden eyes, fixating its gaze unwaveringly on the origin of the sound.
The minute sound paused when Xiu Yan's eyes swept over, then became even more cautious and resumed.
Xiu Yan gave his small nose a twitch, then his little plump rear moved back, as he calmly watched the place from where the noise was coming, as if watching an interesting performance.
After a long while, a fluffy little head peeked in through a barely opened crevice. Its eyes met with the calm-looking Xiu Yan.
Its small black bean-like eyes instantly brightened, comrade!
Struggling to wag his little buttocks, he made a great effort to squeeze in from the small hole with a "squeak"!
Xiu Yan, have you been following Ji Nuan all the time?
