Chapter 620 – The Lion and the Deer (shuhaige.net)



After leaving the human tent, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were in good spirits.

They interacted with humans, ate their food, and the two subsided.

It wasn't a complete waste of money.

Xu Qiaoqiao smiled happily, her eyes crinkling as she leaned closer and nuzzled her head against Jun Qi's cheek.

It even bounced around a few times.

Jun Qi reached out and patted Xu Qiaoqiao's head: "Did you have fun?"

Xu Qiaoqiao blinked: "I'm so happy! Junjun, are you sleepy now?"

Jun Qi shook his head. He had just eaten, and the night breeze had made his mind perfectly clear. How could he be sleepy?

The sky was still dark, and the stars were twinkling.

Jun Qi wasn't sleepy, but Xu Qiaoqiao was. They walked for a while and found a slightly more comfortable place. Xu Qiaoqiao rested her head on Jun Qi's belly, hugged Jun Qi's fluffy tail, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Jun Qi's eyes still looked very clear. He had eaten quite a lot late at night and wasn't really sleepy. After seeing Xu Qiaoqiao fall asleep, he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

Goodnight, Qiaoqiao.

Because of this incident, the photographers would occasionally include glimpses of Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi during their subsequent shoots.

Whenever they appear on screen, they are either snuggling together or traveling together, showing a very close relationship.

However, they weren't always able to be photographed together.

When the lion finally appeared in the frame, it was kissing the fawn.

Sunlight streamed down on them from behind; it was the dawn.

...

When the migration of the main force ended, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi returned to the place where they first came into this world, at the foot of that small cliff.

The scenery here is beautiful, the grass is turning green again, and the air is very fresh.

The dry season is over, and the rainy season is here.

Soon after, a heavy rain fell from the sky, nourishing the grassland. Xu Qiaoqiao dozed off. The rocks above bulged slightly, and she and Jun Qi nestled in the recessed area below.

This place can provide shelter from the rain.

"Jun Jun, I'm so bored." Listening to the pattering raindrops outside, Xu Qiaoqiao leaned against Jun Qi, slightly lost in thought.

There was very little to do during this period. Every day was spent either hunting or patrolling the territory to see if any prey had wandered in. Jun Qi was the one who took care of most of the tasks.

The rest of the time was spent training Xu Qiaoqiao's running speed and jumping ability.

Thinking about this, Xu Qiaoqiao licked her hoof and went over to rub her head against Jun Qi's. Especially when it rains, if you go out and get wet, your whole body will get soaked, which is very uncomfortable.

However, the rainy season has also brought new life to this grassland.

"Then...do you need me to tell you a story?" Jun Qi hesitated for a moment before asking this question.

Qiaoqiao loves listening to stories, all kinds of stories.

However, Jun Qi didn't have much to say.

However, to make Qiao Qiao happy, he could make up a few on the spot.

After all, the story he heard most often was that when he was a cat, he was forced by his owner's child to listen to several stories told by her personally.

Jun Qi has a good memory, so he remembers it very well.

Xu Qiaoqiao blinked and readily agreed.

What story are you going to tell me?

Looking at Xu Qiaoqiao's expectant eyes, which were also tinged with excitement, this was the first time Junjun had offered to tell her a story. She was really looking forward to what kind of story he would tell her.

Jun Qi was silent for a few seconds, then began to think about what story to tell. Xiao Xue had told him and Qiao Qiao many stories before, but Xu Qiao Qiao was always asleep at those times.

Jun Qi listened attentively, but it all went in one ear and out the other.

He remained silent for several seconds.

Xu Qiaoqiao was very patient; she waited for Jun Qi to tell her the story, knowing she had to take the time.

"Oh dear," she murmured unconsciously.

She leaned over and licked Jun Qi's eyes, humming a few times.

She found a very comfortable spot in Jun Qi's arms and waited for his story.

Jun Qi responded to Xu Qiaoqiao's gesture. He blinked, and a story suddenly popped into his head. It was the one he had listened to most attentively back then, because the main characters in the story were two cats.

A very touching little story.

Jun Qi gently patted Xu Qiaoqiao's tail again and again, and then began to tell the story.

"The protagonist of this story is a cat. This cat is a cat that has lived for a million years. Actually, it didn't live for a million years. It died a million times and lived a million times."

Xu Qiaoqiao nodded. Fairy tales? Apart from the most famous ones, she rarely reads the others.

Now, listening to Jun Qi's story, she began to listen attentively.

The rain outside gradually intensified, and the pattering sound continued. Water droplets also dripped from the protruding rock, landing on my skin with a cool, refreshing feel.

"This was a beautiful tabby cat, and many people loved it. They cried for it when it died."

"Once upon a time, the cat belonged to the king. The cat hated the king because he loved war and would put the cat in a beautiful basket and take it to the battlefield. One day, the cat was shot and killed by a flying arrow."

But while the war raged, the king held the cat and wept. Upon returning to the palace, he buried the cat in the palace courtyard.
