Chapter 58: Chapter 58: A Tiger Carries a Human

Renee Jennings listened to the big tiger’s words, a warmth spreading through her heart, and the corners of her lips curved into a faint smile.

She reached out and patted the tiger’s forehead, smiling. "Rory, you’re the most loyal and caring tiger I’ve ever met."

When Evan Griffin saw her action, he tensed up instinctively.

A tiger’s head—she could just pat it whenever she wanted?

Flattered by the praise, Rory wagged his tail gently and said haughtily, "Renee, why are you praising me again! I already know all this, you don’t have to say it!"

Evan Griffin was stunned, watching the tiger’s wagging tail. His gaze toward Renee Jennings filled with even more admiration.

’She’s so amazing. She actually managed to turn a tiger into a cuddly kitten.’

"That won’t do." Renee Jennings peeked at the tiger’s majestic face, her eyes curving into crescents. "You’re so amazing, I wish the whole world could know it."

She didn’t expect him to take her casual remark so seriously. Rory grew curious and pressed, "Renee, how are you going to let the whole world know how amazing I am?"

Renee Jennings: "..."

She thought about it seriously before saying, "I guess I could use my phone to record a video and post it online. Then everyone in the world could see it."

"You humans’ phones are so magical!" Rory couldn’t help but exclaim, then added excitedly, "Then come on out and record the video."

Renee Jennings looked at Rory. ’I can’t ask about Sabin just yet.’

’If this smart big tiger finds out the main reason I came today was to help Sabin, he’ll definitely get mad.’

’I worked so hard to make this friend; I don’t want to lose him right away.’

’Besides, I’m the one in the wrong here. I actually haven’t come to see Rory for so many days.’

Thinking about Rory’s accusations from just now, Renee Jennings felt even more awful.

’I was wrong first, so making a video for the big tiger is the least I can do.’

With that in mind, she turned her head to Evan Griffin and said, "Mr. Griffin, I’m going to get out of the car to help Rory record some videos."

Evan Griffin frowned.

Even though he knew Renee Jennings could charm a big tiger into a cuddly kitten and escape its jaws unscathed, he still felt a little worried.

’It’s that one-in-a-million chance you have to worry about!’

’This is the king of beasts, a ferocious tiger!’

Seeing Evan Griffin’s worried expression, Renee Jennings said earnestly, "Don’t worry, Mr. Griffin. I trust Rory won’t hurt me."

"What?" Rory was astonished when he heard her. "This four-eyed human suspects I would hurt Renee? What a disgrace! A total disgrace! I never hurt my friends! Unless you try to steal my wife!"

Renee Jennings couldn’t help but smile. "Rory, you’re so smart. You even know how to use idioms."

Rory gave a modest smile. "Heh heh! I learned it from TV!"

In his thirty years of life, it was the first time Evan Griffin had ever seen a tiger grin, and he was completely dumbfounded.

She could make a tiger grin with just a few words, and here he was, still worried it was too dangerous for Renee Jennings to get out of the car...

’Fine, fine, fine. I won’t stop her.’

The door of the special vehicle opened. Renee Jennings got out and walked toward Rory, and the big cat immediately nuzzled her with its huge head.

Due to the excessive force and the suddenness of the movement, Renee Jennings winced in pain and frowned. She lost her footing, and her body fell backward uncontrollably.

When Evan Griffin saw this, he thought Renee Jennings was being attacked and was so scared his soul almost left his body. "Help!"

With lightning-fast reflexes, Rory darted behind Renee Jennings, acting as a fleshy cushion for her.

Renee Jennings fell onto the tiger. Evan Griffin let out a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He had been worrying too much.

"Renee, how did you fall?" Rory asked, bewildered.

Renee Jennings: "..."

She said helplessly, "I just lost my footing."

Rory: "You’re so clumsy."

Renee Jennings: "..."

’Oh, great. Just great. I didn’t even blame you for suddenly bumping into me, and you have the nerve to call me clumsy!’

But in the next second, Renee Jennings’s anger vanished.

"Hop on. I’ll give you a ride," Rory said magnanimously.

In her entire life, Renee Jennings had only ridden horses; she’d never even dared to dream of riding a tiger.

Faced with such a rare opportunity, she certainly wasn’t going to refuse.

And so, under the shocked gazes of Evan Griffin and a crowd of tourists, Renee Jennings slowly settled onto the tiger’s back.

Rory got up more gently this time and, before walking off, thoughtfully asked, "Renee, are you sitting steady?"

"Oh my god, look! What’s that?"

"There’s a girl sitting on a tiger!"

"AHH, riding a tiger? That’s so cool! Is it a new attraction at the zoo? I have to go buy a ticket!"

"Isn’t that dangerous? If not, I want to try it too..."

The observation area erupted in a commotion as everyone started discussing the scene.

"I’m steady," Renee Jennings said. Although she was seated firmly, she couldn’t find anything to hold on to for balance. "I have nothing to grab. If you start running, I think I’ll fall off."

Rory: "Then grab my fur!"

Renee Jennings: "Won’t that hurt you?"

Rory snorted, his haughty attitude returning. "This handsome tiger is so majestic. How could that possibly hurt?"

"Right, right!" Renee Jennings agreed with a laugh. "You’re the bravest, most handsome tiger."

Unfortunately, the tiger’s fur wasn’t very long, so there was nothing to grab.

Renee Jennings sighed. "Maybe I should just get down and walk."

"Don’t get down. I won’t run." With her on his back, Rory’s pace slowed to a leisurely stroll.

The other tigers saw this and let out a curious roar.

"Rory, why does that human on your back look so much like Renee?"

"Hey bro, why are you carrying a human?"

Pacing elegantly, Rory explained, "This *is* Renee, the most interesting and beautiful human. She’s going to record a video of me so that the whole world can get to know this handsome tiger."

"Record a video?" The other tigers gathered around.

"What’s the point of recording a video?"

Renee Jennings glanced around. There were eight tigers here. She feigned curiosity and asked, "Huh, it seems like one tiger is missing?"

"Yeah!" Niner replied. "Sabin is sleeping."

Renee Jennings looked surprised. "It’s not time to sleep yet. Why is Sabin sleeping? Is he feeling unwell?"

The tiger brothers shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know what was wrong with Sabin.

"I don’t know. He suddenly went on a rampage this morning, banging his head into things. Maybe he tired himself out."

"He’s been acting pretty strange these past couple of days. He’s not eating his meat properly and keeps losing his temper."

Rory suddenly said, "I remember he wasn’t sleeping well last night either. He kept tossing and turning, and I think I heard him say he was in pain."

"Pain?" Renee Jennings’s brow furrowed slightly. She pressed, "Did Sabin say where it hurts?"

Rory: "He didn’t say."

Renee Jennings pressed her lips together. It seemed she wouldn’t be able to find out the cause from the tiger brothers.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Don’t you tigers care about each other?"

Surprisingly, the tigers didn’t understand the concept.

"What’s ’caring about each other’?"

"What does ’caring about each other’ mean?"

Renee Jennings had no choice but to explain the meaning of the phrase to them.

Unexpectedly, after hearing her explanation, the tigers all looked disgusted.

"I don’t like that."

"I don’t like it either."

Renee Jennings: "..."

’Alright then.’

Just then, her phone’s ringtone went off.

Evan Griffin was calling to tell her that Sabin had woken up and was starting to bang his head again.
