493 My Jiaojiao (6)
The tiger stopped eating after finishing half a bowl. Tie Yi put away the bowl and turned around to see Huo Long and Nightingale suddenly bowing behind him. “Master.”
Xie Jingxing waved his hand and walked out of the house. The two people behind him were Ji Yushu and Gao Yang.
When Ji Yushu saw the white tiger, his eyes widened. “What’s this? A dog?”
Tie Yi trembled. Gao Yang said, “Are you stupid? It’s clearly spores.”
Spores…
Tie Yi said, “Young Master Ji, Young Master Gao, it’s… a white tiger.”
“Tiger?” Ji Yushu looked at Xie Jingxing. “Third Brother, are you alright? Why are you raising a tiger now?”
Nightingale said in a crisp voice, “Young Master Ji, Master saw this on the way to the capital. A hunter wanted to sell the tiger cub’s skin at a high price, so he saved it.”
Gao Yang glanced at Xie Jingxing from the corner of his eye. “When did you become so kind? You don’t seem to be the kind of person who would do this.”
Xie Jingxing ignored the two of them. He was wearing a dark purple robe with narrow sleeves. However, no matter how gorgeous the clothes were, they could not overshadow his appearance. He slowly walked to the white tiger cub’s side. When the white tiger cub saw a person suddenly appear in front of it, it opened its claws and pounced forward to bite!
Xie Jingxing grabbed the fur on the back of its neck and lifted it up.
He lifted the white tiger cub in the air. The cub seemed to be very uncomfortable in this position and kept flapping its legs. Xie Jingxing ignored it and sized it up thoughtfully.
“Is he going to kill this tiger now…” Nightingale made a beheading gesture at Huo Long. Huo Long shivered and shook her head.
In the end, Xie Jingxing looked at it for a while before pushing away the white tiger cub’s legs. He smiled and said, “It’s a female tiger.”
Everyone was speechless.
So what if it was a female tiger? Was Xie Jingxing planning to bring it back to the Daliang Dynasty to be his wife?
The tiger cub let out a roar, but its voice was soft because it was too young. Xie Jingxing placed it on his chest and reached out to hug it. The white tiger cub lay on his chest and raised its head to roar at him non-stop.
Xie Jingxing stretched out his finger and tugged at the white tiger’s whiskers to tease her. Nightingale was shocked and shouted, “Master, don’t! That white tiger hates people touching its whiskers the most. It will bite!”
Before she could finish his sentence, the white tiger bit Xie Jingxing’s finger. Huo Long and Tie Yi were also shocked. Ji Yushu covered his mouth with both hands and looked exaggeratedly frightened, while Gao Yang was gloating.
Xie Jingxing looked at the white tiger calmly. The white tiger looked at him for a while and suddenly seemed to be a little afraid. It opened its mouth and turned to look elsewhere. There was a faint bite mark on Xie Jingxing’s finger.
“Her eyes and temper are like Shen Miao. They even have the same habit of biting people.” Xie Jingxing looked down at the white tiger in his arms. He was not angry. Instead, he reached out and patted the white tiger’s head.
The white tiger seemed to be a little sleepy. It yawned and stretched, but it did not struggle. It let Xie Jingxing rub its head and lay on Xie Jingxing’s chest to rest.
The sun cast its warm light on the courtyard. The man in purple was gorgeous and handsome. He lowered his eyes and looked at the white tiger in his arms. His long eyelashes were slightly curled, but they could not hide his gentle and doting gaze. The white tiger’s fur was extremely beautiful, and it lay obediently in his arms. The man and the tiger were as beautiful as a painting, completely different from the strange feeling of Tie Yi feeding the white tiger just now.
Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow and looked at the tiger cube, who was about to fall asleep with its eyes narrowed. He said, “I haven’t named you yet. Since you two are so alike, I’ll call you Jiaojiao in the future.”
Ji Yushu clapped his hands. “Third Brother, why do you want to give this tiger cub such a girly name? It’s too strange!” He protested. “Change her name to Tiger Tyrant, Iron Hammer, and Brother Biao!”
Gao Yang looked like he couldn’t bear to watch and covered his eyes with a fan.
Xie Jingxing glanced at Ji Yushu and continued to tickle the young tiger’s chin. He said indifferently, “Shut up. This is my Jiaojiao.”
