Background / History
Rescue and Recovery
Xiaobai was caught in a hunter's trap in the mountains, leaving one leg injured. His father approached Ye Huan and Saihu for help and led them to the trapped cub. Ye Huan freed Xiaobai and agreed to take him home for treatment; his father supplied a roe deer in return 2.
At home, Ye Huan applied medicine provided by his grandfather and wrapped Xiaobai's wound in gauze 3. Within a few days, the injury was mostly healed. Spirit Spring Water and a night inside the Spirit Spring Space accelerated his recovery: that night amounted to roughly five or six days inside the space 9.
Staying with Ye Huan
When Ye Huan took Xiaobai back into the mountains, the cub found the route to his father. After their reunion, the adult wolf gave Ye Huan a wild deer and nudged Xiaobai toward him, accepting Ye Huan's offer to continue raising his son. Xiaobai whined after his father departed, and Ye Huan reassured him that they could visit often 9.
Xiaobai remained with the household, accompanying Ye Huan on village walks and fishing trips 10 12. His father later sheltered at the house during a severe storm. Despite Xiaobai's growth inside the space, Ye Huan judged him unready for the dangerous post-rain mountain conditions and left him home with Jingjing 21 26 27.
After the mountain cabin was completed, Xiaobai accompanied Ye Huan there overnight. Ye Huan explicitly regarded him as a companion rather than private property and intended to let him return to his father's territory someday 43.
Appearance
- White, soft fur: Initially described as a tiny, cute cub who could sit on Ye Huan's lap 3 50.
- Noticeable growth: By the first night in the completed cabin, he had grown substantially and rested at Ye Huan's feet 43.
- Half-grown build: Still young by Chapter 50, with his development attributed partly to frequent visits to the Spirit Spring Space 50.
Personality
Xiaobai is affectionate toward both his father and Ye Huan. He circles his father joyfully during their reunion, seeks comfort from Ye Huan after the adult wolf leaves, and later rests on Ye Huan's legs or sleeps beside his feet 9 50.
He is comfortable playing with Jingjing and readily follows Ye Huan's instructions. His willingness to help extends to trying to push the family's electric tricycle during preparations for the storm 21 26 45.
