Chapter 162 Nian Nian, My Nian Nian
Yu Nian watched as the tigress's belly began to twitch, and then he realized that it wasn't that she was overweight, but that she was pregnant.
Tigers' gestation period is about three months. Yu Nian didn't know if the female tiger's fetus was full-term, but judging from the appearance, it was very likely that the pain in her leg stimulated her uterus to contract.
It's getting pregnant early!
Yu Nianzhen was truly thankful that she hadn't injected her with anesthesia, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Wild animals reproduce instinctively without human intervention, but they need to maintain a tilted posture, and the tigress's hind legs are clearly not strong enough.
The male tiger paced anxiously around the female tiger, his muscles tense, occasionally growling softly.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Yu Nian knelt on the ground, reaching out to support the tigress's hind legs.
[Granddaughter, can you do it?]
In his mind, Lao Liu's somewhat drowsy voice came; he had originally wanted to check on Yu Nian's situation before going to sleep.
Who knew he would witness this scene?
This tigress weighs at least 300 pounds. Even if she can exert some strength herself, Yu Nian will have to bear at least half of that weight.
With her tiny arms and legs...
"I can't... but I have to be able to."
Yu Nian's arms trembled slightly, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. She couldn't just watch the tiger cubs get trapped inside.
Fortunately, this wasn't the tigress's first time giving birth, and the first cub soon emerged.
Then the second one, the third one...
When the third cub was born, the tigress lay weakly on the mat Yu Nian had laid out for her. She was already premature and injured, so it was already quite remarkable that she had managed to hold on until now.
Yu Nian finally freed his hands from the heavy pressure and lay down wearily beside the tigress.
She had no energy left; tonight seemed to be draining her dry.
She was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open, and her consciousness began to dissipate uncontrollably. The intense tension in her nerves caused her to faint from exhaustion.
The male tiger helped the female tiger, carrying the squinting tiger cubs to her and nuzzling her forehead.
The premature cubs trembled and nestled in their mother's arms, sniffing the tigress's scent.
After looking at her cubs, the tigress turned her round head and leaned close to Yu Nian, giving her a light lick on the shoulder.
Without this human, not only would it die, but its children would also die.
That night, the fearsome white tiger surrounded the two humans, standing guard for them and protecting them from other wild beasts and dangers.
When Yu Nian finally regained her senses and woke up, it was already dawn.
The white tigers had already left. If it weren't for the bloodstains left on the mat from the female tiger giving birth, Yu Nian would have thought that last night was just a terrifying dream.
Yu Nian got up from the ground and first checked on Chunyu Han's condition. He was still unconscious, but his fever had subsided.
Just as Yu Nian was about to take something to eat from her spatial storage, she suddenly heard a very faint sob.
"Um?"
Yu Nian looked in the direction of the sound, which seemed to be coming from the pile of dead leaves next to the mat.
Curious, Yu Nian walked over and lifted an orange-red maple leaf, revealing a round, fluffy little head underneath.
On its small head, the ears are slightly curled, and the white downy fur is short and soft, with rings of black patterns.
Its eyes were still closed, tightly squinted, relying entirely on its pink little nose to probe the direction.
"Is this a tiger cub?"
Yu Nian's eyes softened as she looked at the unusually thin tiger cub.
Last night, the light was dim, and Yu Nian only knew that the last tiger cub, which was less than a month old, looked very small, but she did not expect it to be this small.
It was only about the size of a palm, weighing a little over a pound, curled up in a small ball in the pile of fallen leaves, its little body hunched over.
"Could it be that the white tiger left it behind?"
It's not that it fell, it's that it was thrown away.
Lao Liu yawned and clocked in right on time.
"Sixth Brother, don't talk nonsense."
The word "abandon" made Yu Nian's heart tighten. How could the tigress have abandoned the cubs she had given birth to with such effort last night?
"Sixth Master, I know better than you. This little tiger cub is too small. It can't compete with its brothers for milk and won't get colostrum. It will starve to death soon. That's the law of nature, survival of the fittest."
It's better to let a child die than to watch it die on its own.
Yu Nian looked at the little tiger cub, a determined look flashing in her eyes.
"Then I'll keep it."
Yu Nian bent down and picked up the tiny tiger cub. In modern times, it is quite normal to artificially feed tiger cubs. At worst, Yu Nian can just return it when it grows up.
[Are you sure you want to raise a baby? The amount of merit points required for formula and bottles is considerable.]
"Deduct it."
Yu Nian held the tiger cub in her arms, her tone light and cheerful. This was a little life she had helped bring into this world, and even if it meant going bankrupt, Yu Nian wanted to save its life.
Lao Liu smiled silently and quietly gave Yu Nian a 20% discount when settling the bill.
Sometimes he thought Yu Nian was a really interesting girl; she was incredibly generous to everyone and everything except herself.
When it came to her own affairs, she started to be very frugal.
After feeding the tiger cubs, Yu Nian's gaze fell on her "big wolf cub," Chunyu Han.
Feeding him probably wouldn't work, so before setting off, Yu Nian planned to give him some more water.
"Um……"
Yu Nian was caught in a dilemma. Chunyu Han clearly couldn't drink water on his own, but if she fed him mouth-to-mouth...
Is it unhygienic?
After all, this person is a germaphobe.
But then I thought, he's not conscious right now, and he doesn't know anyway, so I'll just do whatever's convenient for me.
Thinking this, Yu Nian took a sip of water and leaned down to kiss Chunyu Han's lips.
Last night's high fever made Chunyu Han's lips a little dry, but after being moistened by the sweet dew sent by Yu Nian, those two dry lips became plump again.
After delivering the water, Yu Nian backed away from the damp area.
However, the back of his neck was firmly held by a large hand, making him unable to move.
She skillfully pried open the pearly teeth, stimulating Yu Nian's tongue.
What was originally a crossing of water was transformed into a kiss.
A deep kiss.
The sucking was gentle yet extremely aggressive.
Each time, it teases and releases the emotions and desires deeply buried in the heart.
Yu Nian was shocked. Not only was she breathless from the sudden kiss, but her mind was also in a mess.
Chunyu Han is awake! When did he wake up? Did he just wake up, or...?
A moist, tender kiss.
It makes you forget where you are, leaving only the tingling sensation spreading throughout your body.
Only when he noticed that Yu Nian was having difficulty breathing did Chunyu Han reluctantly release her lips.
Their noses touched lightly, sharing each other's disordered, soft breaths.
"Niannian, my Niannian, it really is you."
His hoarse voice was filled with doting affection, and his slightly narrowed dark eyes were brimming with the joy of regaining what he had lost.
Chunyu Han still thought that everything was just a pipe dream before he embarked on his journey to the underworld.
Her gaze darted away; for a moment, Yu Nian didn't dare look Chunyu Han in the eye.
He called her name so affectionately, but she suddenly felt incredibly guilty.
She hadn't figured out how to face Chunyu Han yet, she really hadn't...
Yu Nian felt a sharp pain in her chest, then pulled out a tranquilizer from her spatial storage and injected it into Chunyu Han's arm.
The sixth brother, watching anxiously from the side, couldn't help but chime in.
[Granddaughter, weren't you hoping he'd wake up? Why did you knock him unconscious again?]
