Chapter 32: My Little Sweetheart
It wasn’t just Su Miantang who was surprised. The Twin Stars, caught off guard, tackled to the ground, and stripped of any chance to resist, fixed their gazes on the creature. In an instant, their pupils dilated, their very souls trembling!
“General!”
“General!”
The two cried out in unison.
Su Miantang: “?”
Lanlan pinned them down, baring his teeth and acting fiercely for a moment. But after sniffing their scents, he lost interest and let them go, as if he were merely asserting his status in the household with no real intention of hurting them.
Getting up, he reverted to his harmless, obedient tiger persona, wagging his tail and shaking his head as he enthusiastically pounced toward Su Miantang.
Master, you’re back~
Master, I missed you so much!
Master, look, I didn’t even eat your saviors. Aren’t I a good boy? Hurry and give Lanlan a kiss and a hug!
“Whoa…”
Su Miantang stumbled back two steps, barely able to withstand his weight.
“Lanlan, how did you get bigger again?”
Lanlan was very satisfied with his current height.
His two paws could firmly clasp his Master’s slender, soft waist, and his head could perfectly nuzzle against her full, soft chest. It was simply too comfortable~
He kept rubbing against her, letting out spoiled purrs like a kitten.
Su Miantang assumed this behavior was his way of hinting that he was hungry and wanted his milk. She rubbed his head and laughed indulgently, “Alright, I’ll go mix your bottle right now!”
“But first, let me introduce you to two people…”
She turned her head, only to see Fred and Enzo still frozen in their previous poses, staring unblinkingly at Lanlan, their eyes filled with shock and suspicion.
“What’s wrong?”
Could they have been hurt by Lanlan?
“Is… is… is this General Aslan?”
Born from the Earl of El family, a once-in-a-century noble mutant breed—the White Tiger. He was unparalleled in the world, the one and only General.
But the General was naturally cold, arrogant, and bloodthirsty. He never let women near him. How could he possibly wag his tail, act spoiled, and play cute for a female?
“Huh?” Su Miantang paused for a moment before bursting into laughter, as if she had just heard the biggest joke in the world. “How is that possible? Hahaha, he’s just an ordinary little tiger.”
A White Tiger? How could he possibly be ordinary?
The two remained unconvinced.
To prove it to them, Su Miantang called Mimi over and performed another physical check on Lanlan right there on the spot. Aside from an increase in bone age and his health status changing to ‘Excellent’, nothing else had changed.
“See? Look for yourselves.”
After carefully checking the medical report several times, and watching the White Tiger cradle his bottle while lying in Tangtang’s arms, sucking obediently like a mere cub without the slightest hint of the General’s domineering presence, Fred and Enzo’s doubts were finally dispelled.
Indeed, what were they thinking? The General had been hit by a miasma bomb; how could he possibly still be alive?
As for the breed, it was likely due to the continuous peace on the Central Planet in recent years, which allowed spiritual energy to flourish and many rare species to reemerge.
However, they still expressed their concerns about Su Miantang raising a tiger.
“Tangtang, how did you get this White Tiger?”
“I found him in the Star-Trail Garden.”
“He is a wild beast, fierce by nature. The slightest carelessness and he could hurt you. Especially now that he’s grown so large, you should send him to the Animal Protection Agency as soon as possible.”
Courting death! Hearing this, Lanlan’s crimson pupils immediately shot out a cruel, terrifying glare, causing the Twin Stars’ hearts to skip a beat.
For his Master’s sake, he hadn’t eaten them.
Yet they dared to instigate his Master to abandon him!
He was going to pluck every single feather off this bird and scatter them like flowers, and then skin this wolf alive to make a fur coat for his Master!
Pushing his bottle aside, he was just about to unleash his fury when Su Miantang slapped a palm over the top of his head, effectively sealing him. “Drink your milk obediently, no wasting.”
Strange. Even if his breed was rare, he was still just an ordinary tiger. Why did they feel a natural sense of suppression when he looked at them?
Fred and Enzo exchanged bewildered glances.
“I know.”
Su Miantang lowered her eyes, gently stroking the little tiger’s head. The deep affection and attachment conveyed in her touch made him helplessly wag his tail in triumphant delight.
See that? Master loves me the most!
When she first picked up Lanlan, she had intended to send him to the Animal Protection Agency. But because of General Aslan’s funeral, the plan was delayed, leaving her with no choice but to take him in.
After spending day and night together for so many days, their bond had grown deeper and deeper.
She was already used to bathing him, mixing his milk, brushing his fur, and treating his injuries every day. She loved holding him in her arms to tease and roughhouse with him, or having him keep her company while she played or read. He also loved clinging to her, sticking by her side, giving her massages, and acting spoiled. He couldn’t stand being away from her even for a moment…
Now, the thought of sending him away truly broke her heart.
He was her first pet, and she had promised to take responsibility for him.
Moreover, he was so intelligent and perceptive. He understood exactly what she meant with just a single look or expression. If he knew she didn’t want him anymore, he would definitely be incredibly sad, angry, and perhaps even hate her, right?
But…
He was getting bigger and bigger; she really couldn’t keep him.
Besides, raising a protected animal privately was illegal in the Empire.
“Let’s wait a bit longer, he…”
Su Miantang wanted to say that his wing hadn’t healed yet, but considering that Lanlan seemed to feel very self-conscious about his broken wing—rarely showing it unless it was time for treatment—she changed her phrasing.
“His injuries haven’t fully healed yet.”
Once he was healed, she would… send him away personally.
“You guys sit and have a cup of tea first. I’m going to go tidy up his things.”
“Tangtang, I’ll help you.”
“No need.”
No need! Don’t come disturbing my alone time with Master! The little tiger picked up his bottle in his mouth and followed behind the girl with his head held high, strutting upstairs.
“Lanlan, why did you come up too?”
Just the thought of sending him away made Su Miantang incredibly miserable.
She wasn’t someone who liked sudden goodbyes. Before that day came, she had so many things she wanted to tell him, so many instructions to give. After brewing over her thoughts for a long time, she was just about to speak when she saw the little tiger toss his bottle aside and sprawl out spread-eagle on her bed, exposing his belly, fast asleep.
Ah~ It’s Master’s bed. It’s that familiar, sweet and fragrant scent. Ever since he was kicked off for secretly nursing that one time, he hadn’t had the chance to come up again. He missed it so much. It was so comfortable. He wanted to sleep in Master’s bed forever, and… sleep with Master.
“?”
“Sleeping right after eating, huh, you lazy tiger?”
Amused, Su Miantang rubbed his fluffy belly, then leaned down and planted a kiss right on the ‘King’ (王) character on his forehead.
Sleep well, my little sweetheart.
She left her coat behind, letting him tightly grab onto it instead of her hand as a security blanket, and headed downstairs.
Fred: “Tangtang, where is the White Tiger?”
