Looking at everyone's expressions, Gu Lili shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Now, all the past is in the past. We four siblings have finally overcome our hardships and are reaping the rewards. Everyone should be happy for us."
All that has passed is like yesterday's death; all that is to come is like today's birth.
These were the words Gu Lili said to everyone, to herself, and especially to the little one in her arms.
The little guy nestled in Gu Lili's arms, looking listless.
After hearing from Gu Lili that the little tiger's mother was their savior, Old Mrs. Li was no longer so afraid of the little guy.
“Lili, since its mother and you have such a connection, then keep it and take good care of it. All things have a spirit. Since it has chosen you, it means that you and it are destined to be together,” said Grandma Li gently.
Gu Lili nodded, glancing at the little guy in her arms who already weighed over 20 pounds, and it was quite tiring to carry him.
Gu Lili carried it straight into the main room and gently placed it on the table.
Gu Lili breathed a sigh of relief and shook her slightly sore hands.
The little guy was placed on the table by Gu Lili and didn't struggle; he even simply fell asleep.
Gu Yanyu and Li Qimu stared wide-eyed at the little thing on the table, seemingly wanting to touch it.
Gu Lili saw through their little scheme and laughed, "You two come and touch it."
Upon hearing this, both of them were delighted, and then they cautiously stepped forward and extended their hands.
Before they could even reach the tiger cub, a loud noise came from behind them, startling them so much that they both pulled their hands back.
The two of them patted their chests in unison and looked back.
Li Tiansheng scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I accidentally stepped on a dry branch. You guys continue, you guys continue!"
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
"Hmph, Qi Mu, you're such a coward. Watch me!" Gu Yanyu withdrew her hand from her chest and smiled, feigning composure.
The sisters were laughing, probably because they thought the two of them were cowardly.
I, Gu Yanyu, don't want to be a coward who is looked down upon!
Gu Yanyu swallowed hard and mustered her courage to reach out her hand.
The little tiger didn't react at all, letting Gu Yanyu touch it.
Seeing this, Li Qimu also reached out his hand.
"Wow! So you can touch a tiger's butt!" Li Qimu said as he touched it.
The crowd burst into laughter again.
The people inside mustered their courage and came over to pet the little tiger.
"Alright, you can all rest now. The little tiger's paw seems to be injured, I need to take a look at it," Gu Lili said after everyone had had their fill of playing with the tiger.
Although everyone wanted to see the little tiger a little longer, Gu Lili was right; it was indeed getting late.
They have a lot of work to do tomorrow, and with so many people in their family, they'll have to wait in line to wash up.
Chang'an did not leave with the others, but remained standing in the main room.
"Chang'an, why aren't you going to sleep?" Gu Lili asked, looking up at her.
With Chang'an right in front of her, it wasn't convenient for her to retrieve medicine from her spatial storage.
Chang'an shook his head and said, "I'd better stay and help you. After I'm done helping, everyone will have finished washing up, and I can take a shower too."
Chang'an was still worried that the little tiger might hurt Gu Lili.
After thinking for a while, Gu Lili nodded in agreement.
If the little guy doesn't cooperate, Chang'an can help press the acupoints.
Gu Lili handed the flashlight to Chang'an and said, "Chang'an, please shine it for me so I can check what's wrong with its paws."
The flashlight beam shone on the little tiger's front paws, and Gu Lili couldn't help but gasp.
I don't know what the little guy did, but he stepped on a long, thick wooden splinter and it got into his paw.
The thorn pierced the tiger cub's paw; the pain was excruciating.
The wound was already oozing yellow fluid, indicating that it had become infected.
I wonder how long that splinter had been on its tiger paw; it's so pitiful.
Forcibly pulling it out is clearly impossible.
Even a human would probably find it unbearable.
"Chang'an, watch over this little guy for a while, I'll go get some medicine," Gu Lili said to Chang'an, turning her gaze away from him.
Chang'an agreed, and Gu Lili prepared to walk out of the house.
Who knew that the little tiger, who had been lying obediently on the table, would suddenly stand up whimpering, wanting to follow Gu Lili.
Seeing this, Gu Lili had no choice but to return.
"Little guy, I'm going to get the medicine. You and Brother Chang'an wait here for me, okay?" Gu Lili said, looking at the little tiger with affection.
The little tiger glanced at Chang'an, now disagreeing, and continued to whimper.
Looking at the little tiger like this, Gu Lili couldn't help but want to laugh.
This little guy is quite vengeful; he still remembers that Chang'an tried to hit him with a hoe earlier.
Chang'an couldn't help but twitch his lips as he watched the little tiger acting cute.
Is this definitely the overlord of the mountains?
He doesn't look like a man at all!
Helpless, Gu Lili had no choice but to pick it up and take it inside.
"Lili, it's too heavy, let me carry it." Chang'an picked up the little tiger first and said to Gu Lili.
Once they've already hugged him, there's no room for negotiation.
The little tiger looked reluctant, but seemed genuinely afraid of tiring Gu Lili, so it didn't struggle.
Seeing this, Gu Lili patted the little tiger's head and led the way into her room.
Gu Lili was about to push the door open when she noticed something hanging on it.
When the flashlight shone on it, it turned out to be a bunch of wildflowers.
Gu Lili guessed that her third uncle had picked them. She picked up the wildflower, brought it to her nose and smelled it. It had a wonderful fragrance that Gu Lili liked.
Gu Lili held flowers in one hand and pushed open the door to the room with the other.
They didn't notice at all that Chang'an behind them looked somewhat unnatural.
"Chang'an, come in. Let's just apply the medicine to it from inside." Gu Lili put the flowers in her hand into the vase in her room, then turned to Chang'an and said.
Recently, my third uncle has been picking wildflowers and placing them on Gu Lili's door. In order for the flowers to bloom for a longer time, Gu Lili specially bought a few vases.
Chang'an looked at the others still washing up in the courtyard, thought for a moment, and then walked in.
As soon as Chang'an walked in, Gu Chenxi followed closely behind.
“Miss, I’ve finished washing up, and I’m here to help you.” Gu Chenxi said.
Gu Lili felt a little embarrassed; she hadn't thought things through earlier.
I was so focused on applying medicine to the little one that I forgot about the difference between boys and girls.
Gu Lili chuckled awkwardly, "Okay, okay."
