Chapter 1009: Settling Down Again
In just a short while, she grew very fond of the two tigers.
Actually, when she saw them, she felt a sense of familiarity, liking them even more than when she first saw Big Yellow and Little Yellow... It was a kind of fondness coming from the heart, feeling particularly close.
Now seeing them being obedient, she liked them even more.
She even had a playful urge to ride them around.
While stroking their smooth fur, she asked Yan Yan, "What are their names?"
Seeing her fond of them, Yan Yan’s expression softened, but remembering how the two tigers had attacked her earlier, he still cast a cold glance at them.
Then, like he had done years ago, he introduced them to her: "Twins, the bigger one is Zuo Zuo, the smaller one is Youyou."
Yun Qiqi immediately furrowed her small brows, "Doesn’t sound nice. Why don’t I give them new names?"
Without waiting for Yan Yan to speak, she decided on her own: "The big one will be called Big Flower, the small one Little Flower. Big Flower and Little Flower, sounds so pleasant!"
Yan Yan: "..."
Two years later, it turned out, Little Gua’s taste remained unchanged, just like before.
Looking at the young girl who earnestly thought the names sounded nice, he stood there for a while, unable to resist curling his lips into a smile, chuckling softly.
It took him a while to bring his hand to his lips to hide his amusement, saying, "Alright, I’ll go with your choice."
In fact, over the past two years, the names of these two tigers had already been changed.
Yan Yan initially wanted to call them by their original names, but no matter how he called, they didn’t respond; only calling them Big Flower and Little Flower elicited a reaction.
Even the feeders faced the same situation, shouting Zuo Zuo and Youyou to no avail, seemingly convinced that their names were Big Flower and Little Flower.
With permission granted to rename them, Yun Qiqi was overjoyed, even riding the two tigers inside while calling out their names.
She didn’t even know why, but upon seeing the two tigers, she felt as if they were meant to be called those names.
Yan Yan stood there, watching the young girl play happily with the tigers, her expression rarely seen full of smiles.
Her fair and tender small face broke into a clean, pure smile, her dark pupils shining brightly, as if reflecting all the light in the world.
From time to time, her soft voice calling out "Big Flower, Little Flower" could be heard.
Yan Yan watched her for a while, his lips curling up involuntarily.
Suffering from memory loss, in her mind, it was her first intimate encounter with tigers, making her especially happy as she found feeding tigers more fun than feeding cats.
Tigers could be ridden, while cats could not.
Yun Qiqi became thoroughly absorbed in play. Although she had planned to leave in the afternoon, she didn’t think of leaving until she felt hungry.
By the time she stepped out of the tiger’s den, dusk had already fallen, and Yan Yan surprisingly hadn’t reminded her, instead working in the feeder’s office.
Ultimately, Yun Qiqi couldn’t manage to leave. As she followed Yan Yan out of the tiger’s den to the living room, intending to grab the documents before going, it started raining outside.
Under Wang Ma’s enthusiastic invitation, she stayed for dinner, planning to leave when the rain stopped.
Unexpectedly, even after the meal, the rain showed no signs of stopping, instead pouring down harder, leaving Yun Qiqi stranded again.
Standing before her room’s floor-to-ceiling window, holding a steaming mug of milk Wang Ma had brought, she gazed outside at the garden lights and rainy night sky.
She couldn’t help but fall into deep thought...
