I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 577 Today, the Ticket Was Worth It!

Yan Ganghui sipped his bamboo shoot soup, watching Cloud play with a gunny sack for a while before starting to roll around like a ball, tumbling from the top of the hill to the bottom. His endearingly clumsy and adorable movements involuntarily brought a smile to Yan's face, making him forget to drink the soup he was holding up to his mouth for a moment.

Only after Cloud finished rolling and climbed back up did Yan snap out of it and drink up his soup.

He felt his spirit healed and relaxed!

After breakfast, he strolled around the panda exhibit for half an hour.

The pandas were most active in the morning, and the timing of his visit was just right. He witnessed many interesting scenes.

Zhuangzhuang had just had a bath recently. With the weather being hot lately, he needed to soak in the water every day, which had made him much cleaner.

He ran around the play area, frolicking like a carefree wild boar running exuberantly through a cornfield!

Pandas usually walked with an inward rotation of their feet, and when they ran, they shook their heads from side to side. Their white heads with adorable black eye patches and two black ears that swayed back and forth made them look both cute and wild.

He ran from beside a rock to the edge of the perch and even up to the glass curtain wall, where he stood up and high-fived a little boy.

The slight upturn of his mouth seemed to say, "No need to thank me!"

Then, he ran off in a flash.

The surrounding visitors immediately let out envious cries of admiration. The little boy who had high-fived Zhuangzhuang was over the moon, shouting, "Mom, did you see that? The panda high-fived me!"

The mother, unable to stop smiling, responded, "I saw it, I saw it! I got it on video for you!"

The father, laughing heartily, said, "Ha ha, today's ticket was well worth it!"

Su Hui, filled with envy, exclaimed, "Ah, I also want to high-five with the panda! Why doesn't it come over this way?"

Zhuangzhuang then ran over to a small sapling, stood up, and seemed to want to climb it!

This sapling, recently planted, was even thinner than Zhuangzhuang's arm—there was no way it could support his weight.

The trunk gradually bent over in Zhuangzhuang's direction!

And just like that, Zhuangzhuang hugged the sapling, causing the entire panda to lie down on the ground.

"Good heavens, it's like Xiong Zhishen uprooting the willows!"

"Poor little sapling: I've had to bear a weight I shouldn't have at this age!"

"Ha ha, another unfortunate tree!"

The tourists found this all very entertaining.

After bending the sapling, Zhuangzhuang bit off a mouthful of the fresh green leaves from its top, tore off a large bunch, and then ran off to play somewhere else.

...

After watching the pandas, Yan Ganghui asked, "So, what shall we go see now?"

Thinking for a moment, Su Hui's eyes suddenly lit up as she suggested excitedly, "Right, I heard that the parrots here can say cheesy pick-up lines, let's go see the parrots!"

Su Hui sometimes followed celebrity gossip, and she remembered watching a variety show starring Yang Xiaochao and others that had been filmed here. The parrots had left a deep impression on her.

"Okay!"

So the two headed towards the bird sanctuary!

When they arrived at the bird sanctuary, however, they found that its doors were closed.

On a sign at the entrance was a notice: "Due to the green peafowl nesting and laying eggs recently, in order to provide a more comfortable and secure breeding environment for the rare bird species green peafowl, the bird sanctuary will be temporarily closed to visitors for one month starting May 15. We ask for the understanding of our visitors!"

Yan Ganghui blurted out two words: "Damn it!"

```

Not seeing the parrots didn't really get me down; on the contrary, a sincere admiration for Linhai Zoo welled up inside me!

Some zoos, in order to make money, take out newly born tiger and lion cubs for tourists to touch and take pictures with. The cubs are certainly cute, and the tourists are happy to pet them, but can the cubs be happy when they are too scared to resist or hide?

To let the green peafowl breed in peace, they went so far as to close off the area to visitors--a brilliant move.

It truly was a decision made with the animals' interests at heart, an act of caprice that only someone as wealthy as Zoo Director Fang could afford to make.

Seeing that Su Hui looked a bit disappointed, I took her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, Linhai Zoo has so many other animals right now, let's go see something else."

"Alright!"

We came to the plaza.

Retired folks were sitting on benches, looking at the lush green lawns and the white pigeons walking and stopping intermittently, chatting leisurely. Kids were squatting on the ground feeding the pigeons, creating a beautiful and harmonious scene.

Speaking of pigeons, there's a rather absurd incident.

Not long ago, the animal keepers realized that the number of pigeons seemed to be decreasing.

Since pigeons are ornamental birds with little value, their management wasn't very strict.

After a count, they found four were missing!

Had someone stolen them to roast and eat?

Because the pigeons were fed some contraceptive-laced feed, the loss to the zoo wasn't great; a pigeon was only worth a few dozen yuan. But for someone to eat them, that wasn't ideal.

So they put up a sign on the lawn explaining the situation, asking visitors not to steal or eat the pigeons.

Two days later, a furious woman came with her son, claiming they had caught a few pigeons to stew for her son and daughter-in-law, and how were they supposed to have children after drinking that.

She pointed a finger at the animal keeper's nose, spluttering with spit as she cursed the zoo staff for being shameless, accusing them of maliciously feeding the pigeons contraceptives, and demanding compensation. Her son was also cracking his knuckles threateningly, shouting "Get your zoo director out here, let's show you a thing or two."

Fang Ye was speechless!

You steal the pigeons and we overlook your wrongdoing, and you have the audacity to come here demanding compensation—who gave you such nerve, Liang Jingru?

He immediately called the police.

And on the phone, he called for Meng Shi and the security guards to come along as well.

Meng Shi, a hunk with muscles harder than stone, sporting sunglasses, along with Wang Jun and Lei Zhi, two formidable figures, standing behind him with frigid expressions, Fang Ye walked over in his slippers, more stylish than a gambling king making an entrance.

Seeing this setup, the arrogance of the lady and her son diminished instantly, no longer daring to spout nonsense as they had before.

The two were invited to the reception room, and the police arrived quickly. After hearing what happened, they were just as speechless and gave the woman and her son a stern lecture!

The woman reluctantly admitted her fault, insisting that the zoo still owed them compensation for stealing the pigeons—but she was wrong to think that.

Fang Ye naturally scoffed at the idea. Why should he compensate?

He refused outright, leaving the woman shouting about taking him to court, although nothing came of it afterward.

It merely provided the staff and the visitors who witnessed the scene with a new source of amusement.

Yan Ganghui saw that on one side of the plaza, some couples were lining up; the ones at the front were running side by side at a swift pace. Some couples were in sync and ran fast, others not so much, stumbling and bumbling, quickly falling behind as onlookers watched the spectacle.

Then he remembered, "Right, the zoo has an event today! A couples' three-legged race. Seems like you can win a drink or something. Let's join in the fun!"

Su Hui's interest was piqued, and she laughed, "Sure, why not!"

Actually, the reward was secondary—the main thing was to enjoy the fun of the little game. Even the couples who lost were laughing happily.
