Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Dining with the Tiger Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Dining with the Tiger “Of course, have I ever lied to you?”
“Then do you believe me, or those people who told you that you could just sit here and wait for the next sea lion show?”
“Are you hesitating?”
“No no!” Little Taotie jumped up, grabbed his brother’s thigh, and yelled, “I believe in big brother! Big brother, let’s go see the big tiger and have a meal with it!”
She had only seen big tigers on TV, and they seemed very fierce!
Will a real big tiger be very fierce?
If it is fierce, would it snatch my meal?
Or… if it doesn’t like my meal, would it eat me after I’m full?
Little Taotie unconsciously clenched her small hands.
He grabbed his trousers that were being pulled down, somewhat amused yet helpless, “Let go, sister!”
Little Taotie looked up, her big eyes filled with innocence.
Qin Xin pointed at the trousers she was clutching and pulling down.
Little Taotie suddenly realized and hurriedly released her grip, her little face filled with embarrassment.
Qin Xin scooped her up, rubbed his forehead against the little girl’s forehead, and asked, “Come on, shall we speed up and grab a meal with the big tiger before it gets too crowded?”
Time was tight and Qin Xin was worried there might not be any spots left by the time they got there, so he strode forward with his long legs. Cheng Guodong, seeing Hua Jinyan’s small, short legs, resignedly picked him up.
Hua Jinyan resisted a bit. He was already seven years old and didn’t want to be carried around the park.
“Your legs are short.” Cheng Guodong hit the nail on the head.
Hua Jinyan pursed his lips, his little face stern.
“Tch! You look like a grumpy little old man.” Cheng Guodong teased him.
Hua Jinyan glared at him and then, as if he saw something, his gaze fixed behind Cheng Guodong.
He felt the hair on his back stand up!
Had the kid seen something?
Had Water Ghost Ghost tangled with him again?
Had the red cloth pouch given by Master Ma become ineffective?
While he was lost in his thoughts, he heard a cold, clear voice beside his ear, “Coward.”
Cheng Guodong suddenly realized, the kid was tricking him!
“You little brat!” Cheng Guodong almost wanted to throw him away.
He took a deep breath and reminded himself, adults don’t hold grudges with children! Adults are generous!
Behind the massive glass, there were many tigers, some frolicking, some lying on stones, their eyes wide as if patrolling their territory, and some climbing up and down like ceaseless monkeys.
Little Taotie pressed against the glass, her eyes sparkling.
“The big tiger is so big!”
“The big tiger’s fur is shiny!”
“The big tiger can actually climb posts too!”
“Why do the stories I heard say that big tigers can’t climb trees?”
“Are stories deceiving me?”
“Wow! The big tigers are fighting!”
Little Taotie turned into a little chatterbox, tugging at Hua Jinyan’s sleeve and chattering endlessly.
Hua Jinyan patiently answered one by one.
At that moment, their ordered meals were ready.
Outside the glass were tables and chairs for people to dine at; inside the glass, tigers were playing.
Little Taotie had ordered a fried pork chop meal, and as she ate, her big eyes stared at the tigers, gleaming, her mouth moving like a feeding little hamster.
At another table was a web celebrity; he was live-streaming himself eating with the tigers separated by a layer of glass. The camera was askew, and as he adjusted it to focus on his food, the live chat room exploded, and messages began to stream rapidly.
“Did I see wrong? Did I just see my Zaizai?”
“Little Taotie! I saw Little Taotie!”
