He can also throw tantrums, run and jump, pounce on prey, and hunt on his own.

Jun Qi didn't want to admit that he was getting old.

He can stay with Xu Qiaoqiao for a long time.

However, this was just his own idea. The real fact is that, as time went by, two more years passed.

He's been feeling a bit weak lately, but Xu Qiaoqiao is different. She seems to have plenty of energy and can even play with the little elephant.

Even the slow-witted Mary noticed this, and from then on, she focused all her attention on Jun Qi.

The mother elephant, however, was different. After she also sensed this, she focused more on Xu Qiaoqiao.

Her mind was clearly much more delicate. The relationship between the lion and the deer was a very mysterious one. It could be called love, but it wasn't pure; yet, there was a very real connection between them.

And it is very profound.

They depended on each other, as if only the other could give them a sense of security in this world, even though the fawn usually seemed quite close to its child.

However, this closeness is completely different from that towards lions.

Such feelings are probably something one can never sever for the rest of their life.

If Mary were to reach old age prematurely, the mother elephant's gaze involuntarily turned to Mary, her eyes gentle, yet tinged with a hint of fear.

—What should she do?

...

"Jun Jun, are we going to sunbathe again today?" Xu Qiaoqiao leaned close to Jun Qi, licked Jun Qi's eyes, and asked softly.

Jun Qi slightly raised his eyelids and shook his head slightly at Xu Qiaoqiao.

"Hmph." No way.

Xu Qiaoqiao: "Okay."

Then she lay down next to Jun Qi, clinging to him completely, and didn't say anything else, just quietly keeping him company.

The weather hasn't been very good these past few days, probably because it's the rainy season; the air is very humid, and so is the ground.

This kind of weather always makes people feel a bit unwell.

Of course, the same applies to animals.

Suddenly, Jun Qi said, "Qiao Qiao, I will come to find you then."

So, you'll have to wait for me.

“I will look for you too, but you have to tell me who you are.” Xu Qiaoqiao fully understood Jun Qi’s meaning, and a sense of sorrow welled up in her heart.

"Besides, shouldn't I be the one saying that to you?"

The one who leaves first must wait for the one who arrives late.

How annoying, this feeling.

Feeling that things had come to this point, she no longer cared about those secrets. At this moment, this matter was no longer that important to her.

The bad guy definitely knows that at this time, knowing those secrets is what he cares about most.

That's why I say you should only tell yourself when life in this world is about to disappear.

"Will we have a next life?" At this moment, Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly hoped that this kind of time travel would never end.

"Yes, but no, if this world ends, we'll only have one lifetime left." Jun Qi no longer cared about such things.

Can I refuse?

Jun Qi blinked, leaned in, and pressed his lips to Xu Qiaoqiao's, a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Don't you want to know the real me?"

Xu Qiaoqiao shook her head, not wanting to think about it. As long as it was you, it didn't matter whether it was true or not.

Hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's words, Jun Qi smiled slightly, leaned over, and kissed his little deer.

"My Qiaoqiao is so smart. It's a pity that there's no turning back now. Qiaoqiao, we both need to get better."

I've remembered so many things. I never imagined that something so half-finished could save your life. I'm really happy.

After saying that, the smile in his eyes gradually subsided, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Roar~" Are you scared?

Xu Qiaoqiao's doe-like eyes immediately welled up with tears. She seemed to want to nod, but then, as if she had thought of something, she shook her head very firmly.

"Yo yo".

It only emitted two unintelligible cries.

After that brief conversation, neither of them mentioned it again.

Intermittently, another six months passed, and when the dry season arrived on the grasslands, it was time to migrate again.

This time, however, Jun Qi doesn't want to continue migrating.

As for the reason, it's obvious without even thinking about it.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Jun Qi with concern, and in the end, she didn't want to continue migrating, but Mary saw through the two little ones' intentions.

Mary, who is usually very gentle, is now much fiercer. She insists that Jun Qi leave with them. If he stays here, it is easy to guess what Jun Qi will face.

That's death.

Jun Qi looked at Mary, whose attitude was very firm, and waved his paw at her, meaning not to worry, separation is a normal thing, please don't be afraid.

Mary, of course, didn't understand such a complicated meaning. His method was simple and crude: he simply carried the lion and the deer on his back.

If I get tired, my wife can help me out.

After spending some time together, Mary and Xu Qiaoqiao and Junqi successfully became friends.

...

Thanks to Mary's efforts, Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao safely reached the other side of the grassland.

Unfortunately, such a thing will never happen again.
