Bai Yajing was both amused and exasperated when she learned of the result, but Liu Meiling and the others had clearly regained their fighting spirit and went to the recording site to help out every day.
She didn't say anything more.
As the year draws to a close, every household is filled with joy. Life is getting better and better, and everyone's face is beaming with smiles.
Bai Yajing delivered New Year's gifts to everyone, but this year, bad news came from Xinghua Village: Da Bai was dying.
On the phone, the village chief sighed helplessly, "Ya Jing, Da Bai won't close his eyes until you come back!"
Bai Yajing felt a pang of pain in her heart upon hearing this.
"Grandpa, I'll buy a ticket and go back right away!"
After hanging up the phone, she didn't care about anything else and ran to the train station to buy a train ticket.
Bai Yajing had been mentally prepared for this outcome for the past two years.
Every time she called home, she heard its voice, which had gone from lively and cheerful to becoming somewhat weak and listless this year, and she knew what was going on.
I had originally planned to go back to my hometown after sending Lin Huan off to her wedding after the New Year.
But I never expected that time would come.
Big White was already considered old for an ordinary wolf, living to be over twenty years old, and his final years were peaceful and happy.
She hurriedly said goodbye to her family and boarded the train.
These past few days, she's been absent-mindedly looking out the window while in the car.
Upon arriving at Xinghua Village, we went straight to the village chief's house.
Big White lay in its den, basking wearily in the sun. Lately, it has been enjoying sunbathing, as it only feels warm and cozy when it's in the sun.
The village chief would move its nest out every day when the sun was out.
Bai Yajing ran all the way and saw it when she reached the gate.
Big White clearly saw her too, and stood up shakily.
Bai Yajing's eyes welled up with tears, and she quickly ran over and hugged it.
"Big White... I'm back!"
"Awoo~ Awoo~" You're finally back.
"Big White, I'll take you home! Okay?"
Big White is the wolf king of the mountains and forests, and he ultimately hopes to return to his hometown.
Sure enough, upon hearing that they were going home, Da Bai was overjoyed and kept rubbing against her.
Bai Yajing suppressed the bitterness in her heart and smiled as she picked up Da Bai.
It has lost its former robustness; now, it is very light and thin, and the village chief said that its appetite will decrease significantly starting in the second half of the year, and it will not like to eat much by the end of the year.
Bai Yajing carried it and chatted all the way back to the wolf den.
This place has long been abandoned, and the former wolf packs have all moved away.
"Big White, do you still remember the first time we met?"
At that time, I was not yet ten years old, and you had just been born. Neither of us would give in to the other, so we fought as soon as we met.
Hahaha, I almost couldn't beat you! I only managed to beat you up by sneaking up on you!
Bai Yajing recounted past events while slipping a pill into its hand to help it forget the pain it was experiencing.
For the past few years, she has been sending medicine back to nourish its body, but unfortunately, the wolf's lifespan is limited...
"Aww..."
The barking of the big white dog was weak and feeble; it would have closed its eyes long ago if it hadn't been waiting for Bai Yajing.
Bai Yajing understood this as well, and tears involuntarily fell from her eyes.
