Being a Dad in the Animal World
o0o
"I’m honestly shocked. This alliance is a disaster no matter where it appears, it's an absolute ecological disruptor. I never expected it to be taken down by Bai Yi."
"See that? Bai Yi’s intelligence isn’t just talk. He went straight for the leader, took him out with one fatal move, completely shutting down the core of this alliance pride."
"If anyone dares to call Bai Yi useless again, I’ll throw this legendary moment right in their face! He may be laid-back by nature, but that doesn’t mean he’s easy to push around! Even if he spends the rest of his life being fed by cubs, I’ll still cheer for him!"
"Bai Yi is the best! Bai Yi YYDS! You can always trust Bai Yi. No arguments allowed!"
Camera flashes flickered nonstop. Bai Yi knew that humans only intervened when ecological balance was on the brink of collapse, just like in that documentary about the six male lions.
So right now, he couldn’t count on humans to save him. They were probably just watching, observing how he handled the situation.
If he didn’t take down the leader of this pride today, then in front of all these media cameras, he would become nothing more than their prey.
The seven male lions surrounding them were still roaring, their aggression unwavering. This was both a brutal battle and a psychological war.
Until they showed signs of submission, Bai Yi couldn't afford to let his guard down.
He pressed down hard on the massive lion beneath him, using both front paws to pin its head firmly to the ground, not giving it a chance to retaliate.
Right now, he felt like a superstar surrounded by the press.
Damn it.
I really overdid it this time.
Unsurprisingly, the internet has already exploded with heated discussions at this hour, because what his colleagues are doing is live streaming, not a time-consuming documentary.
Once again, this male lion had sparked a frenzy among his fans.
For the first time, lion enthusiasts finally had the confidence to go head-to-head with tiger fans!
"Alright, alright! Where are all the tiger fans now? Come on, let’s battle! Do you really think your tigers could last a single round in Bai Yi’s situation today? Look at our internet-famous lion, can any tiger pull this off?"
Tiger fans quickly flooded the comment section, firing back:
"Oh, please. I watched the livestream today. At best, this just proves Bai Yi is a smart lion. He knows how to identify the leader of a pride. That’s just basic instinct. Try putting him up against a group of tigers and see what happens."
"Not gonna lie, this lion looked amazing today. I won’t deny his intelligence and strength, but let’s be real, tigers are still stronger overall."
"Don’t underestimate tigers. Sure, this lion put on an impressive show today, but he still can’t compete with a tiger."
Lion fans weren’t having it and shot back:
"Why is it so hard for you to admit that lions are strong? Besides, lions and tigers come from completely different environments. Why do people keep comparing them? We love lions and think they’re powerful because they’re the kings of the grasslands. No one’s trying to pit them against jungle predators."
"I guess tigers can at best thrive in the forest. They are naturally good at one-on-one combat, right? Their ways of survival differ so there's no need to gang up on them"
"We are not here to argue with tiger fans. The thread creator should request deletion. I do not want to see my Bai Yi being cursed over and over by a group of tiger fans. I feel really uncomfortable so I reported it"
"I second the comment above. This thread creator is clearly inciting conflict so I reported it"
"For those who love Bai Yi, if you see this please use your little hands to help report it. Thank you"
Some netizens who truly love Bai Yi would never let him be used as a tool for attracting traffic by a group of malicious people hurling insults, so they collectively reported and deleted the post.
The internet has returned to purity and the viewers who love Bai Yi enjoy tranquility.
No matter how others may insult him, in their hearts Bai Yi is the best.
He may be lazy and dislike hunting, and he might sometimes behave in ways that no one can predict. Moreover, he even beats up Jason and the three youngsters.
They have followed the Animal Kingdom live broadcast all the way and have seen every bit of his true self.
This is only the tip of the iceberg in the animal world and it is also an animal well known to people. Though he is an animal, genuine viewers have long regarded him as a friend.
When he is in danger they worry about him and when he is safe and comfortable they share in his joy. They sincerely love this family of five.
They arrive in the live broadcast room on time and when they have their fill they even send gifts to the streamer, jokingly reminding the streamer to remember to buy delicious treats for Bai Yi with the money from the tips.
Bai Yi has been with them for half a year and the number of viewers in the live broadcast room has grown from single digits to tens of thousands online thanks to the efforts of the filming crew and Bai Yi's performance.
Now that many have witnessed Bai Yi's moment of deification, numerous people were amazed by certain clips and came here out of admiration.
A rare scene in the history of Animal Kingdom live broadcasts has appeared. On that day the number of viewers online in the live room exceeded 200,000 and everyone took screenshots and snapped photos with Bai Yi on the screen.
Many viewers regretted not being at the scene; if they could get there they would do so at any cost.
A Death God alliance has been terminated, which not only removed the fear in people's hearts but also eliminated the crisis on the grasslands.
Even more remarkable is that during this process not one of the bad guys lost their life.
This outcome differs from the endings of the documentaries they have seen, so they are grateful to Bai Yi and sing his praises.
Under the constant wailing of their elder brother, the seven male lions submitted to Bai Yi. They all showed their obedience by lying on the periphery, putting away their hostility and letting out low roars toward Bai Yi.
They were no longer fearsome enemies; each one became friendly and amicable.
If you can spare a lion then spare a lion. Bai Yi naturally would not kill any of them.
He nevertheless had to remain cautious, fearing that they might counterattack.
Bai Yi slowly loosened his grip as his canine teeth left the lion's flesh stained with blood. He stuck out his tongue to lick it and then slowly walked away.
The seven male lions did not move. When they saw Bai Yi depart they all approached their elder brother to check on his injuries and lick his wounds.
It was evident that their brotherly affection ran deep.
These eight bad guys ran into a block here, especially their leader who, upon seeing Bai Yi leave, got up and tried to chase after him.
"Roar! Big brother, don't leave; take your little brothers with you!"
Bai Yi thought they would continue chasing him so he ran off.
This gave Jason and the three youngsters enough time to leave so he wouldn’t have to cause any more trouble, and he ran as fast as he could.
After only a few steps, he encountered Jason.
Bai Yi: "!"
A child was watching nearby as if he had been there for a long time!
Had the child seen his fierce demeanor just moments ago?
Hey, Jason, listen to my explanation. Things are not as you saw them.
It was obvious that the child had witnessed the entire process of his older brother pinning the pride leader to the ground and beating him up.
Moreover, that lion pride followed his brother, clearly showing that he had once again won the hearts of a group of little brothers.
Jason was not happy and was acting temperamental.
Seeing that group of male lions following him, Jason roared at them in anger.
"Roar!"
"Scram! Don't follow my brother; he is mine!"
"You useless bunch!"
Bai Yi was taken aback and looked back to see that those eight bad guys were all following him.
Bai Yi: "..." No way, just by showing a little skill, I've gained another group of followers?
This time they weren’t females at all; they were all robust and capable males.
That's not acceptable!
Run!
Bai Yi roared in anger and bolted off!
The male lions behind him pursued him relentlessly.
"Roar!" Big brother, don't run; from now on you are our leader and we'll follow you.
"Roar!" No way, I can't even handle one Jason; if you beasts come at me together, will I survive?
Thus, the major media witnessed such an amazing scene: eight bad guys decided to follow Bai Yi, but were ultimately left behind by him.
The eight guys watched the powerful figure of the male lion vanish from view, all feeling bewildered.
They were rejected.
It turned out that they were not the strongest; the strong do not accept them.
Sigh, it's best to go home and comfort your wife and children.
Thus, after Bai Yi and Jason disappeared, the eight bad guys set off on a new journey. This time, their path led them back to their original territory where their pride and their children were.
Amazingly, an ecological crisis was resolved in this manner, and Bai Yi's heroic deeds began to spread widely on the internet and among local residents.
Some tourists, drawn by his fame to visit the Serengeti, began searching for Bai Yi's location, eager to have a chance encounter with him and take a commemorative photo.
The famous domestic photographer, Lin Nian, witnessed this miraculous scene and decided to photograph the internet-famous male lion.
It was not only his astonishing deeds that moved people but also his name.
Xiao Bai Yi.
She watched Animal Kingdom every day, the program produced by the team that Bai Yi worked with when he was alive.
It's a pity that they haven't seen each other since graduating from university.
Bai Yi went abroad to study, while she chose to stay in the country.
The feelings she once had were never spoken, leaving behind today's regret.
She thought of it as a farewell—to him and to the lion named after him.
o0o
Jason’s gaze toward him grew increasingly odd, and Bai Yi sensed it.
It seemed he had become even more clingy than before; no matter what Bai Yi did, Jason’s eyes were always fixed on him—even when he slept, he felt Jason watching.
Every time that happened, he would wake up startled, and as soon as he opened his eyes he would see a little male lion with an adoring expression before him.
Bai Yi: "..."
Could he have misunderstood something?
Stop looking at me with that lecherous gaze, will you?
You’re making my goosebumps all too obvious.
Occasionally, when he observed Jason up close—perhaps after being a lion for so long—he found that Jason was rather good-looking.
Bai Yi: "?"
What kind of thought is this? Aren’t all lions the same? Now you can even tell who is good-looking and who is not?
No, this was absolutely not what he intended.
That day, when Jason affectionately groomed the hair on his body, Bai Yi suddenly turned his head. Jason licked his nose with his tongue, and Bai Yi saw tiny glints of light in the child's eyes.
"..."
Something was wrong.
Bai Yi quickly turned away, refusing to look at him.
Even if his head were beaten to death, he wouldn't be able to accept a male lion that's exactly the same as him.
What he has, Bai Yi also has, so he's not curious.
However, it's not just Jason who has this strange behavior, the three little ones also have it.
They had truly grown up, beginning to push each other aside.
All of them vied for a place by Bai Yi’s side, each refusing to yield.
So Bai Yi silently set a rule for them.
When they went out hunting, whoever performed better was allowed to rest close to him, while those who performed poorly were pushed away.
Unsurprisingly, Goudan turned out to be the winner in life.
Not only was Jason extremely jealous, but both Wangcai and Isa no longer favored Goudan.
Especially Isa, when she was little her older brother was the best to her. So why had it changed later on?
Does her brother no longer like her?
Sob, sob, sob.
She insisted on snuggling up with her brother while sleeping, refusing to leave.
The one-year-old lioness rolled around, acted adorably, and tried her best to please Bai Yi.
Bai Yi sighed helplessly.
To be honest, the little cubs were really wonderful to cuddle.
Especially their little bellies, which were incredibly soft.
Bai Yi buried his face in a cub’s fluffy belly, satisfying his craving to cuddle big cats, and then distanced himself from them.
Acting cute didn’t work; as a principled male lion, if you two don’t perform well, I simply won’t dote on you.
I only dote on Goudan, eh, just for fun.
After a few days, it seemed they all understood the secret of vying for affection.
In the hunting ground, they were remarkably fierce, each one fiercer than the next, and the three cubs, all just over a year old, could each bring down a high-horned antelope.
Even Jason was stunned.
Bai Yi’s goal was achieved. He smiled as he watched the three cubs, who, after finishing their hunt, barely had time to lick the blood from their mouths before rushing to find their older brother for comfort, kisses, hugs, and to be lifted high.
Bai Yi proceeded to lick each of them on the head.
The cubs he raised had finally shown some promise. In this way, even if one day he were no longer there, he wouldn’t have to worry about them starving.
For when they grew up, they would naturally leave him.
Jason felt rather dejected because no matter how well he performed, his older brother never licked him the way he did with the three cubs.
He felt quite unhappy.
That day, after hunting and finishing dinner at home, it was time to rest.
The three cubs snuggled up next to their older brother, who didn’t push any of them away and even began to groom their fur.
Jason lay on the other side, watching the three with envy and jealousy.
After a while, his older brother looked up at him and let out a low roar in his direction, not very loud and with a touch of gentleness.
Jason understood that his older brother was calling him.
He got up, walked over, and lay next to Bai Yi’s head.
After Bai Yi finished licking the three little ones, he even licked Jason’s head.
Jason lowered his head and stared in disbelief.
My older brother licked me!
Does he like me!
He must like me if he licked me!
I like my older brother too!
Jason: "......"
The way my older brother expresses his affection is truly unique.
He hits me because he likes me, right?
Since my older brother likes me, it’s fine if he hits me.
Roar.
Brother, you continue. I can take it.
Seeing the child lying pitifully over there, Bai Yi called him over to give him some attention. In response, the child unexpectedly lifted his head, trying to lick his mouth.
Brother, did I give you permission to kiss? You beast, have you brushed your teeth before kissing your brother?
After eating raw meat, with a mouth full of the scent of blood, how can you dare open your mouth?
If Jason knew that his older brother disliked his stinky mouth, he would surely tell him: "Brother, yours is just as bad."
Bai Yi would definitely swat him with a paw in response: "Brother’s must be much more fragrant."
The relationship between Jason and Bai Yi became a major issue. Both male lions should be in love by now, yet neither showed any sign of wanting a relationship, which inadvertently confirmed the "Sonbai" cp pairing.
Especially the "Sonbai" cp fans were extremely excited. They never expected that the cp they shipped would one day become a reality!
As expected of the die-hard cp fans, they caught evidence from subtle clues that this cp could really come true.
"Although the fact that they don't date girls has confirmed that they are in a relationship, I still have to say that from Jason's overindulgence toward Bai Yi it is clear that Bai Yi has definitely been dominated. He wakes up very late every day, and when he does, Jason even brings lunch home with him"
"Perhaps on nights unknown to us, they have already engaged in some indescribable activities. Not being able to see them being lovey-dovey leaves me feeling truly regretful"
"Holy cow I haven't been here these past few days. What happened? Has Bai Yi been suned"
"I'm not entirely sure yet, but judging by the way they have been interacting lately, there is a high probability that Bai Yi has been suned"
"Ahhhhh Can someone show me the scene? Just one glance and I'll be satisfied"
"When is the lion clip scheduled, streamer How many people are waiting for Bai Yi to be dominated You all are completely irresponsible"
If Bai Yi knew that netizens cared so much about his sex life, he would surely flash his five-centimeter-long canine teeth and admonish all you cp fans: "Don't believe or spread rumors! My ass is just fine! A bunch of adorable little sisters, hollering lion clips day after day—does that really match your image?!"
