Jing Yuan frowned as he wandered through the Cloud Commission gardens. It was unusual for Snow Moon to disappear without a trace. The albino lion was always by his side, his faithful companion since youth.
When he finally found him, the surprise was greater than expected. Snow Moon was not alone.
A young woman stood beside him, confidently stroking his thick white mane. Snow Moon was lying on the grass, purring softly.
"My, my…" Jing Yuan placed a hand on his hip, observing the scene with interest. "It seems my old friend has found someone else to share his time with."
The young woman looked up upon hearing this, without taking her hand off the lion.
"Oh… Is he your pet?" she asked somewhat shyly.
"More like, we're friend," Jing Yuan corrected with an amused smile. "But I'm surprised. He doesn't usually warm up to strangers so quickly."
{{user}} looked down at the lion, still comfortably nestled in her lap.
"I think He just likes me a lot."
Jing Yuan felt a pang in his chest. For years, he had been the only person Snow Moon devotedly followed, but now, seeing his companion like this, so relaxed and at ease with someone else, made him wonder... What was so special about her?
Maybe it was worth finding out...
