Being a Dad in the Animal World
o0o
Bai Yi followed behind Jason, who occasionally glanced back at him.
Jason knew exactly what was on Bai Yi’s mind. No matter how long he had avoided this, the moment had finally arrived.
He braced himself for what was coming, knowing full well that he was no longer a match for Jason in terms of strength.
After hiding for days, there was no escape. He hesitated, dragging his feet, unwilling to move any faster.
Goudan and Wang Cai even came out to see him off. It was clear they were good, filial children, though they had no idea how complicated their older brother’s feelings were at this moment.
The sky had darkened. Bai Yi looked like a runaway wife being brought home by her husband.
Not long ago, he had thought Jason was the “wife” in their dynamic, yet somehow, the tables had turned.
On their way back, they even stopped for a full meal. Bai Yi wasn’t sure if Jason was afraid he might faint from exhaustion.
At some point, Jason stopped walking and went hunting. Since they were in Goudan and Wang Cai’s territory, no lions came to chase him away.
After catching a gazelle, Jason displayed his strength by tossing the prey in front of Bai Yi, letting out a low growl as if signaling him to eat.
Bai Yi understood the message. It was as if Jason was saying: Eat more, so you don’t run out of strength to scream later.
Bai Yi: "..."
Even though he knew Jason was up to no good, he still ate more.
At this point, there was no reason to refuse free food.
He ate with particular enthusiasm, perhaps because he knew that for the next few days, he wouldn’t be able to 'get out of bed.'
Years of taking care of the “wife” hadn’t been for nothing—he knew Jason’s endurance all too well.
Jason could go multiple rounds in a single night, and each round lasted longer than the last. The first time would be a bit quicker, around ten minutes, but after that, the duration only increased.
Bai Yi: "..."
He had truly defied the laws of the animal kingdom. No other creature behaved this insanely.
It was one thing to have a strong and powerful physique, but why did he also have to be that unmatched in that area?
Bai Yi was already trembling in fear.
In feline species, barbs served a specific purpose, to ensure the cubs were their own by scraping away any foreign genetic material and to stimulate ovulation. Because of this, mating often led to bleeding.
The rainy season in Maasai Mara always felt different from other places to Bai Yi. Even though the Serengeti had a beautiful rainy season as well, in his eyes, nothing compared to Maasai Mara.
Frequent rainfall ensured abundant water sources and lush green grass.
For herbivores, this meant they had a reliable food supply, and with their survival secured, predators naturally had plenty to feast on.
Everything was interconnected.
After Bai Yi and Jason finished their midnight snack, rain began to fall from the sky, forcing them to hurry back to their resting place.
With the three cubs gone, Jason no longer had to take care of them. Now, he only had his brother to look after, and their resting spot had become incredibly luxurious.
Their territory was located in a riverside forest near a water source. The forest was lush, with a variety of herbivores, ensuring a steady supply of food for the two of them.
The bushes were so thick that even heavy rain couldn’t penetrate them.
The rain quickly intensified that night. After returning home, they began grooming each other, licking their rain-soaked fur dry.
Bai Yi also knew what this night meant, and he couldn’t help but feel a chill.
Not long ago, in this very bush, he had thought about finally making his move on his 'male wife' But who could have guessed that the 'male wife would end up being himself?
They groomed each other, going through the final prelude.
Bai Yi had to admit, he was quite impressed with himself. When he first arrived here, he would never have imagined ending up like this. And yet, in less than a year, Jason had made him willingly accept the role of the "male wife."
When he accepted Jason, the cub was only a little over three years old. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed, and he had raised the cub as his "male wife."
No, to be precise, it was the "male wife" who had been raising him.
He hadn’t realized the seriousness of the situation, thinking that once the cub grew up, he could finally take charge.
Well, today was indeed the day to take charge, just not in the way he had imagined.
Outside, the rain poured heavily, but not a drop reached them inside. He and Jason lay in the bushes, showing affection to each other.
In the past, they had only used their mouths, never going all the way. Today, however, it was time to put it to real use.
Bai Yi lay flat, resigned to his fate. Whether he struggled or not, it would only fuel Jason’s desire to conquer him.
He had to admire himself. He had never imagined ending up with a female lion, yet here he was, involved with a real male lion.
Bai Yi deeply suspected that the reason he had missed out on his goddess in the past was due to his sexual orientation. Otherwise, how could he have chosen to become sworn siblings with her despite her obvious hints?
What a confusing world.
Today, being pinned down by a male lion in the bushes and subjected to such things must be his just deserts.
Lin Nian, I’m sorry. From now on, I’m no longer that straight-as-an-arrow man. I’ve been bent into a paperclip, and it was a male lion who did it.
Over the past two years, whenever Jason had rubbed against him, Bai Yi had thoroughly enjoyed it.
Back then, he had truly thought of Jason as his "male wife," believing there was nothing wrong with being rubbed by his wife.
Only now did he realize that the cub had been waiting for this day all along. Jason had probably planned it in his heart, knowing that by the time he grew up, Bai Yi would be middle-aged and no longer as strong.
Yes, middle-aged. Bai Yi was over seven years old. The average lifespan of a wild lion was fifteen years, so he didn’t have many years left.
Seven years old was a turning point in a lion’s life. Under normal circumstances, if a male lion didn’t have offspring by this age, he would likely never have the chance.
Raising a litter of cubs took several years. At Bai Yi’s age, even if he had his own cubs, by the time they were grown, he would be completely spent.
Jason was very attentive in helping him. It had been a while since they had done this, and Bai Yi couldn’t help but feel excited. Perhaps because reproduction was an instinct, Jason had always been a natural at this.
He even understood better than Bai Yi what actions would make him feel good and help him release quickly.
As expected, under Jason’s excellent oral skills, Bai Yi felt pleasure once.
He was indeed quick, never lasting more than three minutes each time. Afterward, Jason would clean up what he had released and then continue.
Bai Yi lay there like a salted fish, being served.
After three times, he felt he couldn’t go on anymore. The restlessness in his blood had been soothed, but he knew Jason’s main course was just beginning.
Jason has always demonstrated a superior talent in these matters. From his sub-adulthood, he has been obsessed with Bai Yi. It's not an exaggeration to call him an old pervert.
Bai Yi can even clearly see the look in his eyes and the satisfaction when he does those things, and the way he occasionally glances at him, all of which indicate one thing: Jason is very happy.
He probably feels that he has finally achieved his wish. He has been tirelessly trying to seduce his brother for almost three years, and today his long-cherished wish has finally come true.
He is happy, but Bai Yi is suffering.
However, there is also a shameful thought and feeling. Perhaps knowing what Jason is going to do, he is wondering whether to use lubrication.
While he is thinking about it, Jason has already considerately started to serve his "sumptuous dinner."
He meticulously and carefully "takes care" of his private parts. It has to be said that Jason is actually a very considerate boyfriend.
His behavior is very abnormal, which gives Bai Yi a very strange feeling, as if the body does not contain the soul of an animal, but that of a human.
But then he thinks again, he is also a human. Even though he has turned into a big lion, he is still full of suspicion when accepting animals. If Jason is really the same type as him, then his speed of accepting the same kind is too fast.
Not to mention fast, he is also working hard to seduce a male.
Bai Yi is even full of doubts. Unfortunately, Jason can't speak, and neither can he. Otherwise, he would have to ask Jason: Little brother, is there a human soul in your body? Otherwise, how could you be so understanding?
Jason is really meticulous in terms of being considerate. If he were a lioness, he would definitely feel a surge of happiness.
But Bai Yi doesn't feel happy. He is only frightened.
Don't look at him being so considerate and gentle now, he won't be like this when he stabs him with a barbed steel gun later.
His strength is gentle, licking from Bai Yi's tail to his furry belly, and finally his limbs.
Bai Yi is too lazy to struggle. He lies there waiting for that moment to come.
His eyes narrowed, and he even felt a sliver of comfort.
The pads of his four paws felt Jason's warmth, and a sliver of shame crept into his heart.
An animal, where does it get so many details?
Can he hurry up?
Bai Yi kept complaining in his heart.
It has to be said that Jason still considered Bai Yi's feelings. He was afraid Bai Yi would resist midway, so he did the prelude first.
Bai Yi felt his strong body turn into soft water under Jason's care, and he didn't want to move his limbs.
After a ten-minute prelude, Jason finally stopped, nudged Bai Yi, and Bai Yi had to retract his claws and adjust his posture.
From lying on his back to lying on his stomach.
o0o
The exciting moment was coming, and Bai Yi was even a little curious at this moment, wondering if it would really hurt.
What does it feel like to be invaded by a thorned rose?
Thinking of this, he even felt a little embarrassed and quickly buried his lion head between his two paws.
Jason started climbing on his back, and Bai Yi's body trembled involuntarily. He was scared.
After all, it was the first time, and it wasn't something that could succeed in one go. Jason tried many times but couldn't find the right place, and Bai Yi couldn't help but want to curse.
Can you fucking do it? If you can't, let me do it, okay?
Just as he finished complaining in his heart, a sudden pain struck.
His neck was suddenly bitten hard, and Bai Yi immediately raised his noble lion head, his eyes staring straight with innocence and fear.
Damn, is this for real?
Jason was definitely for real. He had endured for three years for this moment. From the time he saw Dilai mating with a lioness, he had this idea for his brother.
He had spent so much time laying the groundwork, just for this exciting moment.
Bai Yi was in so much pain that he kept gasping, wanting to bite Jason back, but Jason was biting his neck, and he couldn't even turn his head.
How tragic. A lion king with high intelligence and the strength to fight a group of lions, one day he would roar under the belly of the cub he raised, and it would be useless.
That night, Bai Yi deeply experienced the pain of a lioness, and the slight pleasure (?) that came with the pain, made his cerebral cortex go blank.
Every time Jason withdrew, he felt the taste of torture. His roar was probably enough to scare away herbivores within a ten-mile radius.
To be honest, this was not as comfortable as mutual licking. Bai Yi had already imagined the tragic scene of not being able to leave the bushes for a month. He could finally rely on his "skills" to live off soft food, but it was too exhausting for him.
That night, because he roared too fiercely, Jason was also frightened, so he only did it once, but the pain lingered.
Bai Yi did bleed, and Jason cleaned it up for him, but this did not eliminate the anger in his heart from being forced. So, Bai Yi was angry.
He didn't want to see Jason at all. When Jason brought prey for him to eat the next day, Bai Yi didn't even look at it, pretending not to see it.
Damn it, I'm not eating. If I eat, I'll have to poop. I'm more uncomfortable now than having hemorrhoids.
But when he didn't eat, Jason started using his old tricks again. He chewed up the prey's internal organs and spit them out in front of Bai Yi, quickly forming a small pile.
Bai Yi: "..."
Knowing Bai Yi was angry, Jason tried to please him, rubbing and nuzzling against him as if he hadn’t been the one pinning Bai Yi down fiercely the night before.
However, hunger eventually got the better of Bai Yi, and he ended up eating the small mountain of food in front of him.
Satisfied, Jason continued to chew and break down ribs for Bai Yi.
Bai Yi rested for over a week. Aside from going out to relieve himself, he didn’t even move from his spot.
After a week, he was back to his lively self, though he no longer let Jason take the initiative.
When he wanted something, he would lie on his back, presenting his fluffy belly to Jason, letting him help relieve his needs.
He swore he would never touch Jason again.
Yet, every time this happened, it always stirred something in Jason.
Whenever Bai Yi noticed Jason acting strange, showing signs of wanting to climb on his back, he would make a run for it.
Jason found this frustrating. It seemed the next time he could have a deeper exchange with his brother would be far in the future.
In Bai Yi’s mind, he believed that deep exchanges were nowhere near as satisfying as grooming.
After a month of shamelessly frolicking with Jason in their territory, Isa suddenly returned.
She brought a male lion with her, clearly her husband.
Both Isa and her husband were skin and bones, looking as though they hadn’t found a territory after leaving. So, Isa had come back to seek refuge with her brother.
Isa’s husband’s condition worried Bai Yi. Female lions usually never leave their territory, but in Bai Yi’s pride, since Jason hadn’t left, Isa had to be the one to go. Animals also know not to breed with close relatives.
She returned because she couldn’t survive outside, and her husband was useless.
He couldn’t even secure a territory.
So, Bai Yi decided to give half of his and Jason’s territory to Isa and her husband.
He couldn’t help but sigh. Raising children was such a hassle. Now that they were grown and couldn’t fend for themselves, he had to divide his assets for them.
That's not even the worst of it; Isa is in for a rough time, having married such a useless husband.
Bai Yi and Jason observed the male lion's movements. They discovered that the male lion did nothing but sleep all day.
This territory belonged to Bai Yi and Jason, so the responsibility of patrolling the territory didn't fall on him. He didn't even hunt.
Every time Isa caught prey, she would feed him first. After he finished eating, he would find a place to sleep.
Damn it, Bai Yi's anger flared up.
This is just like a human "phoenix man," thinking that latching onto a powerful figure means safety?
Isa is the cub I raised; who the hell are you!
So, the next time he saw Isa catch prey and feed her useless husband, Bai Yi rushed over and snatched Isa's food.
He wouldn't let the male lion eat. Jason moved, going straight in for a beating. The two male lions pinned Isa husband to the ground and beat him relentlessly. Isa was completely stunned.
Bai Yi kicked and punched.
"Roar~"
You damn useless thing, eating food off my cub, I'll break your legs!
Isa was only around three years old. She wouldn't be able to breed normally until she was around five, so Bai Yi determined that Isa wasn't pregnant.
So, he and Jason chased the male lion away. Isa stayed, and Bai Yi decided to find her a boyfriend himself.
He needed to find someone responsible like Jason, at the very least; otherwise, she would have to support the family after giving birth to cubs, and the useless male lion wouldn't do anything, just knowing how to eat all day.
But finding a male lion as caring as Jason was a joke, because there simply weren't any.
Even Goudan and Wangcai didn't have Jason's attentiveness and ability.
Finding a son-in-law for Isa became a rather worrying matter.
Since the first time, Jason seemed to have developed a keen interest in doing such things with Bai Yi.
However, Bai Yi, haunted by the fear of that first experience, often recalled the pain and would avoid Jason whenever he tried to initiate.
Over time, Bai Yi couldn’t keep ignoring him. It became obvious that Jason had lost interest in everything.
Previously, he would hunt multiple times a day, making sure Bai Yi was well-fed. But after Bai Yi rejected his advances a few times, Jason clearly lost his enthusiasm for hunting, and Bai Yi started going hungry.
To ensure his "male wife" developed both physically and mentally in a healthy way, Bai Yi had no choice but to take the initiative and show affection.
Then he would lie down and wait to be "gayed."
He noticed a certain emotion in Jason’s eyes that he couldn’t quite understand.
Occasionally, when their eyes met, Bai Yi felt as though he wasn’t facing an animal but a being with thoughts and a soul.
This feeling was rather eerie, especially with Jason’s unusual behavior. Bai Yi couldn’t help but wonder, Is he also a human transformed into a lion?
If he were a human, how could Bai Yi find out the truth? How could he let Jason know that he, too, was human?
When these thoughts surfaced, Bai Yi would feel shy whenever he locked eyes with Jason.
Bai Yi: "..."
What kind of logic was this?
Why did he have such a strange feeling?
As it turned out, Bai Yi’s suspicions weren’t unfounded. When Jason "gayed" him, he showed no gentlemanly manners whatsoever.
Only afterward would he display an extraordinary level of emotional care.
For example, he would groom Bai Yi for a long time, making sure he felt comfortable before nuzzling against him to sleep. Sometimes, he would even wrap his paws around Bai Yi while sleeping.
How could such behavior be explained?
Bai Yi also found it hard to explain.
He suddenly wished with all his heart that Jason was just like him—a human soul trapped inside an animal’s body. That way, all these years, he had been in love with a human, not an animal.
Thinking this, Bai Yi felt much more at ease.
Perhaps Jason’s inner self was indeed human, just like him.
Otherwise, how could an animal understand so much?
Bai Yi continued to speculate.
However, reality quickly brought him back to earth. Jason displayed many animalistic instincts, and Bai Yi had to let go of his wishful thinking.
At first, Bai Yi thought only Jason had these animal instincts. But during this comfortable and peaceful rainy season, Bai Yi also experienced his own instincts.
Male lions can generally be in a state of arousal year-round, as long as the female lions are in need.
Bai Yi didn’t have that kind of drive, but Jason did. This silent "male wife" seemed particularly persistent in this regard, constantly tempting Bai Yi. As a result, Bai Yi found himself in an awkward state, driven by his animal instincts.
Every time this happened, Bai Yi would glare at Jason with a warning look.
"Enough already. I’m not in the mood for this right now."
Despite his protests, Bai Yi would quickly give in under Jason’s persistent grooming and affectionate licks, willingly offering himself each time.
Well, over time, Bai Yi had grown accustomed to it. Sometimes, when he felt bored, he would even take the initiative to seek out Jason.
Bai Yi: "..."
Damn, I’ve become the kind of lion I used to look down on.
Later, after witnessing Isa and her new husband’s relationship, Bai Yi realized just how gentle Jason was with him.
Except for the first time when Jason had bitten the back of his neck quite harshly, every time after that, Jason seemed reluctant to hurt him. Even when Bai Yi bit him, Jason never bit back.
Male lions show no gentleness toward female lions. Driven by instinct, they are rough and fierce, solely focused on passing down their genes.
But Jason was different. He knew Bai Yi couldn’t bear his cubs, yet he remained incredibly gentle and attentive. This alone completely won Bai Yi over.
As a result, Bai Yi often thought, So what if he’s an animal? He knows how to cherish his partner, and that’s already more than enough. What more could I ask for?
No other male lion was as responsible as Jason. Even Bai Yi, a male lion with a human soul, often thought about living off someone else’s efforts, let alone a real lion.
Their responsibilities, aside from defending their territory, mostly involved sleeping. There was no concept of being diligent or lazy unless they were on the verge of starvation, in which case they would hunt for themselves.
Compared to Jason, Bai Yi felt more like a wild lion.
Well, perhaps he had been assimilated.
The days of migration between the two regions continued before the dry season arrived, still filled with hardships. However, they were smarter this time, migrating earlier. When they sensed the rainy season approaching in the Serengeti, they would set off in advance.
This way, there would be prey and water sources along the way, and it wouldn’t be as grueling as their first migration.
Of course, Jason’s focus wasn’t on the migration itself. All his energy was devoted to Bai Yi. Wherever his brother went, he would follow, and he was always eager to get intimate with Bai Yi.
Over time, Bai Yi grew accustomed to it. During their migration, they would get intimate whenever they could, making as much noise as they wanted. After all, no other animals cared about what they were doing. It had to be said, it was quite liberating.
This feeling was good, except for the fact that every time Bai Yi was "mounted," he would be stuck in the bushes for several days.
After Jason grew up, Bai Yi’s path to living a cushy life was fully paved. If he didn’t have to lift a finger, he wouldn’t.
Goudan and Wangcai had also inherited their brother’s migration habits, setting off early with their entire families. Isa had left with her new husband, and Bai Yi never saw her again.
So, while the savannah was vast, it could also feel quite small.
Every day, leaders of lion prides were replaced, and the cycle of life and death continued. But the one who remained by Bai Yi’s side never changed.
Bai Yi, who had too much time on his paws, wanted to find some abandoned cubs to raise. After all, the pride of just him and Jason felt too lonely. However, he never got the chance.
And so, the two male lions spent five years alone in their own dynasty. During these five years, Jason showed no signs of straying, and Bai Yi had no interest in that either. As a result, the two of them became a constant sight on the savannah.
After the live broadcast project ended, many viewers who missed Xiao Bai went to visit them. Every time they appeared, they were together, never leaving each other’s side. This warmed the hearts of those who had once adored them.
Neither of them sought another partner. It seemed they were destined to stay together for life.
The lifespan of a wild lion isn’t long. From the time Jason reached adulthood, five years had passed, and the two of them had always been together, never raising any more cubs.
When Bai Yi was nine, he came across a litter of abandoned cubs. But by then, he was already old. Although Jason was still strong, he had to take care of Bai Yi, who had become a burden. So, they had to give up on the cubs, which were later taken in by Goudan.
The cubs, influenced by Bai Yi, had deviated significantly from typical lion instincts. This moved Bai Yi deeply, though it also left him sighing with emotion.
Even wild beasts can possess such pure kindness, yet some humans lack it.
Five years later, Jason turned ten. He had already passed his prime. Bai Yi was approaching thirteen, which was considered a long life for a lion. He could be said to have lived a full life, with no regrets.
However, seeing Jason still strong and healthy, Bai Yi couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness.
Even animals have souls.
At thirteen, Bai Yi was already struggling to eat. Thankfully, Jason never complained. Every time he hunted, he would chew the food for Bai Yi, ensuring he didn’t go hungry.
Bai Yi wasn’t worried about himself, but about Jason. Over the years, Jason had always stayed by his side, never once considering leaving.
Bai Yi knew he would be the first to go. He wondered what would happen to Jason after he was gone.
Would Jason find someone else?
It would be normal if he did. Jason was still strong and had a few more years to live. In Bai Yi’s eyes, Jason was still young. He hoped that after his death, Jason would find a lioness and leave his legacy on the savannah.
What Jason would do after Bai Yi’s death, he didn’t know.
Before the dry season arrived that year, they should have migrated early. But Bai Yi felt he couldn’t go on. So, while Jason was out hunting, Bai Yi ran away from home.
Some animals are like this. Not wanting to die at home, as it would bring bad luck, they go out to find a place to bury themselves.
As Bai Yi walked, he remembered a dog his family had once raised. The dog had been with them for many years, but one day, it suddenly disappeared. When his family anxiously searched for it, they found it had died in the greenery of their neighborhood.
Even in death, it had been gentle to its owners.
Now, Bai Yi understood that feeling. He was afraid that if Jason knew he was dying, it would affect the cub’s future life. So, he ran away.
The arrival of the dry season prompted the animals to migrate. Bai Yi wandered aimlessly, moving further and further away, unable to stop his steps.
Dying outside was his final act of kindness to Jason. By making Jason believe he had left and would never return, Jason would follow the migration to the Serengeti.
Bai Yi wanted to die in the Maasai Mara, the place where his life as a lion had begun and where it would end.
After walking for about a week, Bai Yi felt certain Jason would never find him. He stopped and found a bush to rest in, preparing for his final sleep.
He knew his body well and had a sense of how much longer he had.
His life had been a dream. As a human, he had never felt much love, but as a lion, he had received a lifetime of affection from a cub. It was worth it.
He could die without regrets.
As he drifted off to sleep, his life as a lion came to an end. His time in this world had finally reached its conclusion.
In the twilight of that evening, the male lion Xiao Bai passed away. After wandering aimlessly for a week, he finally found eternal rest in a bush.
The filming crew that had followed him years ago had been keeping an eye on Xiao Bai’s movements, knowing his lifespan might be nearing its end. These days, they had been extra attentive, tracking his steps.
Xiao Bai had been a key contributor to their live broadcast project. No matter what state he was in, he remained the best in their eyes.
At thirteen years old, he was considered quite fortunate among wild lions. Living this long and dying of natural causes was a gift from nature.
The news of Xiao Bai’s passing was announced through their official account and quickly topped the trending charts. The viewers who had followed his live broadcasts years ago were no longer young. Seven years had passed, and many things had changed for them.
Yet, the one thing that remained unchanged was how their eyes still sparkled when they mentioned Xiao Bai, reminiscing about the era when a male lion had led the Maasai Mara.
While Xiao Bai’s death was heartbreaking, what worried everyone more was Jason. The fans of the "SonBai" pairing were no longer young either, but their first reaction upon hearing about Xiao Bai’s passing was, "How is Jason doing?"
They flooded the comments section, tagging Jason and hoping the broadcasters could provide some updates on his situation.
Without a tracking system, finding a male lion on the savannah was incredibly difficult. They could only speculate Jason’s location based on Xiao Bai’s final path.
About a day after Xiao Bai’s passing, they discovered Jason’s tracks. He was heading in the direction where Xiao Bai had gone.
The broadcasters had no choice but to install a hidden camera in the bush where Xiao Bai had found his final rest. They then moved away, keeping a close eye on Jason’s situation, unsure if he would find Xiao Bai.
The filming crew had intended to retrieve Xiao Bai’s body, but Jason’s speed was remarkable. He was searching for Xiao Bai.
Everyone wanted to see how Jason would react, so the plan to retrieve the body was put on hold.
After the dry season arrived, the weather became extremely hot and dry. The filming crew wanted to handle Xiao Bai’s body as soon as possible to prevent it from decomposing.
They decided to wait until Jason left before taking care of it.
However, what happened next left everyone in silence.
Jason accurately found Xiao Bai’s location. Instead of leaving, he lay down beside Xiao Bai and began grooming his fur. Perhaps he already knew Xiao Bai had passed away but refused to accept it.
As expected, this would be the last time they appeared in the viewers’ sight.
After finding Xiao Bai, Jason never left. Everyone waited to see when he would go. After all, animals don’t have the same complex emotions as humans. They didn’t believe Jason would remain loyal to Xiao Bai for life.
Surely, after Xiao Bai’s death, Jason would find another pride. With his strength, he could thrive anywhere.
But…
A day passed, and he didn’t leave.
Two days passed, and he still didn’t leave.
A week passed, and he remained.
When the dry season arrived, Jason stayed by Bai Yi’s side for over a month, neither eating nor drinking. He became skin and bones, too weak to even move, simply lying beside Bai Yi.
He never followed the migration. Instead, he chose to stay permanently by his brother’s side.
Two months later, the filming crew discovered that the once-strong Jason had also passed away, in the same spot, without moving an inch.
When this was shared online, it shocked netizens.
The filming crew posted an old photo of Xiao Bai and Jason.
The caption read “I thought dying for love was just an ancient legend. Rest in peace.”
In the photo, a young male lion nuzzled against an adult lion, as if seeking affection or trying to please. The adult lion lowered its head, seemingly annoyed, but the scene was incredibly harmonious.
The two internet-famous male lions were forever immortalized in that moment.
Their story touched the hearts of many new netizens.
The ending of the story was beautiful, yet it felt like something was missing.
But it didn’t matter anymore. They would be together forever in heaven, never to part again.
The sound of seawater filled his ears, along with frequent ultrasonic-like noises.
Bai Yi thought he was dreaming. He didn’t understand why he still had consciousness after death. He had truly felt the fear of dying. In his final moments, he had even wondered, What will happen to my dear after I’m gone?
Will he rush to find someone else as soon as I die?
While he was still pondering this, the sound of waves suddenly jolted him awake.
He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in the ocean.
Small fish swam back and forth in front of him.
Bai Yi’s pupils shook in shock!
No way, was I thrown into the sea before I was even fully dead?
Who has no sense of decency? At least wait until I’m completely dead before throwing me in!
What if I drown?
Panicked, he tried to swim to the surface, but strangely, he moved effortlessly through the water.
When he surfaced, he realized he was in the middle of a vast blue ocean, the sound of waves echoing in his ears.
He tried to move his paws…
Huh? Where are my paws?
Bai Yi looked back at himself and was instantly horrified!
He saw a pink fish tail!
Bai Yi: "?"
Is this me?
o0o
Jason’s identity is mysterious. In the end, they will meet as humans, and everything will be revealed.
