Qiao Lie watched as the crack in the tree trunk grew larger. Right before it toppled, he quickly scooped up the little tiger cub and jumped out of the way.
"Ah!"
Hearing the commotion, Qiao Xixi and the others all came running.
"What happened?"
Seeing everyone run over, the little tiger cub thought she'd done something wrong. She clung to her brother, burying her face in his chest and not daring to look up.
Qiao Lie thought his little sister was scared, so he tried to comfort her just like Qiao Xixi would.
"Don't be scared. I'm here."
Qiao Lie looked at Qiao Xixi. "My sister came to tag me just now and accidentally snapped the tree trunk."
Qiao Xixi: ????
Feiyan eagerly went to inspect the broken tree. "This was a perfectly healthy tree. Judging from the break, it really does look like it was snapped by a single blow. And there's An'an's handprint on it."
