Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 287 You think you're all grown up now?

With my friend's big flower, this is my expression—

It was so happy it felt like it could fly!

Those big, round eyes, which usually carried a hint of bewilderment and weariness, were now wide open, sparkling with an innocent light untouched by any impurities.

Its enormous tiger mouth was slightly open, revealing a faint pink tongue.

It seemed to be mimicking the genuine smile on Chen Nian's face.

Every single hair on its fluffy orange-black fur seemed to dance and leap with its light, swaying body. Even its thick tail, which resembled a large feather duster, was held high, with a delightful curl at the tip.

As the game continued, Da Hua's long-suppressed nature was finally released in increasingly loud roars.

Its massive body nimbly moved around in the huge rest area!
It was as fast as a streak of orange-black lightning!
Occasionally, it will freeze in place, as if under a spell.

Then stare blankly into the air and stick out your tongue.

Even though she was panting heavily, with her large pink tongue sticking out like a small flag waving around her mouth, Da Hua didn't want to spend a second longer catching her breath.

He was afraid that Chen Nian would stop wanting to play with him at any moment.

Chen Nian gradually became more serious and focused.

Hide and seek has evolved into a hunting game.

The roles have started to switch.

Sometimes it's Da Hua who catches Chen Nian, and sometimes Chen Nian becomes the hunter and catches Da Hua who is hiding under the wall.

The man and the tiger were having a great time playing together across the fence.

A wonderful harmony and pure joy filled the air.

As time went on, Xia Qiyue and the zookeeper, who were watching from the sidelines, stared at Chen Nian's increasingly outrageous actions with their mouths agape.

The zookeeper turned his head blankly and asked Xia Qiyue.

"Miss Xia, Mr. Chen... he also studied acrobatics?"

"I don't know!"

Xia Qiyue never expected that Chen Nian could actually do the splits!

These moves are quite difficult!

The cat lovers in the live stream were already in an uproar.

"Well, I knew Teacher Chen was a cat in disguise! He looks just like a cat!"

"To be honest, with this scene, if you photoshopped it and changed the audio track, you'd think two tigers were playing hide-and-seek!"

Xia Qiyue nodded vigorously as she looked at the comment.

indeed!

Chen Nian's dodging movements were just like a cat's!

She joked with a serious expression:

"Indeed, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!"

"To become the 'Cat King' revered by all cats, you always have to pay a price. It seems that Chen Nian is gradually going further and further down the path of 'not being human'!!"

This 'interaction' lasted for a full half hour!

Finally, with both Chen Nian and Da Hua exhausted, they tacitly chose to call a truce, bringing the match to a close.

A fierce chase and a joyful roar.

For a moment, the sound of heavy breathing replaced the noise.

The man and the tiger sat down back to back across the wall, both panting heavily, their movements remarkably synchronized.

Even the frequency of their breathing echoed each other across the wall.

"Give."

Xia Qiyue handed over a bottle of water at just the right moment.

She looked at Chen Nian, who was sweating profusely, looking slightly disheveled yet exhilarated, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but more so with an almost overflowing gentle smile.

"Thank you~"

After catching her breath, Chen Nian unscrewed the bottle and gulped it down.

The water has a slightly sweet taste.

Like a long-awaited rain after a drought.

"Ah! We're saved!"

He drank it all in one gulp before letting out a long breath.

Then, he gave Xia Qiyue, whose eyes held a hint of reproach, a weak smile.

"You got so engrossed in it without even realizing it." Xia Qiyue took the empty bottle and said irritably, "You're such a grown-up, yet you're still acting like a little kid."

"Hehe~"

Chen Nian remained silent, only grinning foolishly.

Who could resist playing hide-and-seek with a big tiger!
Even his dad has never played this!

Chen Nian thought that she could brag to her dad when she got back this time.

As it turns out, humans cannot compete with tigers in terms of physical strength, not even Chen Nian.

He's never been this tired, not even when he was squatting on the snow line!
Xia Qiyue stood on tiptoe and glanced over, discovering that the big flower on the other side of the glass was also exhausted, sticking out its tongue.

It's clear that it hasn't played like this in a long time.

Or rather, never.

If it were just for my own amusement, I wouldn't be this tired.

After finishing her water, Chen Nian got up and looked at Da Hua sticking out her tongue. She couldn't help but make a drinking gesture with her hand and asked with a smile, "Hey everyone, aren't you going to get some water?"

Ok?
Da Hua looked up and froze for two seconds after seeing Chen Nian make a drinking gesture.

Then it seemed like he was just realizing it.

Ouch! !
It roared suddenly, then rolled over and swayed towards the pool outside.

He would occasionally glance back at Chen Nian.

It seemed as if they were confirming whether their friend would secretly leave.

"Don't worry, I'm not leaving."

Chen Nian waved to it, indicating that it could drink without worry, as she would be staying a while longer.

Da Hua then left the inner room with peace of mind.

Its joyful roar echoed through the inner chamber.

Chen Nian smiled slightly, then looked at the live stream and took the opportunity to explain:
"Did everyone hear the tiger's roar?"

"Isn't it shocking?"

"Many cat lovers have asked me before whether the snow leopard's call counts as a roar. Now that there's a stark contrast, the answer is obvious, isn't it?"

"Remember, snow leopards can only howl!"

When a fellow cat enthusiast mentioned Xue Aotian's meow, Chen Nian shook her head as well.

"All Xue Aotian can do is howl."

Previously, in order to intimidate his underlings, Xue Aotian had let out several roars that were very close to howls, which led many cat lovers to believe that snow leopards could also roar.

Now that the real roar was in front of him, Chen Nian took the opportunity to correct him.

"What? What's the use of knowing the difference?"

"Of course it works!"

"If you ever hear a roar-like howl in the wild, you'll know there's a big cat called a snow leopard nearby."

Seeing Chen Nian's serious explanation of science, Xia Qiyue rolled her eyes.

Who would wander into an area where snow leopards live?
Snow leopards are, after all, classified as 'big cats' and are extremely dangerous.

However, Xia Qiyue was not entirely certain.

Because of Chen Nian's sudden popularity, the public's understanding of snow leopards has become deeper and deeper. It's possible that some enthusiastic fans will actually go to the snow-capped mountains to look for traces of snow leopards.

"Hmm, it seems I'll have to talk to Chen Nian about this later."

"We also need to add a 'Do Not Imitate' reminder to each video."

Xia Qiyue's eyes and mind were filled with life!

Even when they're out having fun, they don't forget about their live stream.

While Chen Nian was chatting and joking with her cat lovers in the live stream.

Big Flower, who went out to get a drink of water, encountered another tiger wandering by on the road.

It instinctively bared its teeth and gave Big Flower a fierce look.

In the past, Da Hua would be so frightened that she would stand frozen on the spot, and after a few seconds, she would immediately run away after realizing what had happened.

But today is different.

Big Flower completely ignored him?!

(Guess what kind of cat this is~)
