Qiao Xixi wished she could grow a few more hands right now to pull every one of her cubs into her arms for a good kiss.
She first hugged Qiao Qiao, who was leading the charge, and after planting several firm kisses on her little cheek, she turned and promptly kissed Xiya's cheek as well.
"Mama!" The tiger cub pounced, knocking Qiao Xixi straight to the ground.
Sunxiao, with his quick reflexes, stepped forward to steady her before she hit the ground.
Qiao Xixi quickly reached out to hug the tiger cub. The little one had pounced on her, and before Qiao Xixi could even give her a couple of good kisses, the cub squeezed her eyes shut, opened her little mouth, and began to wail.
Her wails made both Qiao Qiao's and Xiya's eyes turn red.
The cubs hadn't seen Qiao Xixi in a long time, and they felt utterly heartbroken.
The sound of their innocent cries made Qiao Xixi's heart clench. She felt so sorry for not being able to be with her cubs all this time.
