The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 263 Emerging Agricultural Academy
"嘤嘤嘤——"

An Sheng, who had just woken up, stretched lazily on the bed with a contented look on her face and smacked her lips.

"Master Fuli is awake? We need to get ready to leave soon."

Lin Ying, sitting by the window of her suite, had already changed into her casual clothes for going out. On the table was a cup of black tea and some untouched snacks. Seeing Master Fuli rolling around on the bed, she smiled and spoke.

"Oh, by the way, our tour guide He just asked us if we needed breakfast. I noticed Mr. Fuli wasn't fully awake yet, so I ordered you some local specialties: beef hamburger and vegetable hamburger."

"Aren't you going to eat?"

An Sheng jumped off the bed and looked at the things on the table with a slightly puzzled look: a cup of tea and a few untouched pastries. It didn't look like breakfast at all.

"I just ate some nut chocolate and I'm drinking tea to aid digestion now."

Lin Ying smiled helplessly and spoke.

She doesn't actually like sweets, which may be related to the fact that she almost had an allergic reaction and went into shock after eating peanut butter chocolate while studying abroad.

However, given the current situation, portioned sweets have become an essential part of Lin Ying's daily meals.

With Lin Bingyun present, she will take charge.

When Lin Bingyun wasn't around, she would also instruct Lin Shu to pry open Lin Ying's mouth and force-feed her medicine and sweets.

"is it?"

An Sheng looked at Lin Ying with a hint of suspicion.

Lin Ying saw the familiar expression on Master Fuli's face, and she nodded with complete certainty.

Around mealtimes, if Master Fuli had a suspicious look on his face, it meant that someone would definitely eat a very full meal, at least two bowls of rice.

Although Lin Ying said she had already eaten, after meeting up with He Ying and getting breakfast, An Sheng still shared half of the braised beef sandwich with Lin Ying.

…………

After boarding the newly delivered black van, the group headed to the Emerging Agricultural Academy to meet up with Wang Qiqi.

He Ying drove ahead, leading the way. The address of the branch campus of the Xinxing Agricultural Academy was not displayed on any civilian navigation systems. No one knew the exact reason, but locals said it was located within a panda ecological reserve.

A unique subspecies of Qinling panda occasionally appears in the area, so the local authorities intentionally block navigation maps related to the ecological reserve to prevent tourists and photography enthusiasts from disturbing the Qinling pandas.

Pandas belong to the bear family, not the cat family.

If a person were to be killed by a panda, it would be a devastating blow to the local forestry bureau.

To prevent animals from developing path dependence, any wild animal that has seen human blood will only face the fate of being shut down and hunted down by local authorities; it must not be allowed to remain.

Blocking navigation around the emerging agricultural research institute is a good thing for both humans and animals.

Since no one disturbs them, the occurrence of serious incidents can be greatly reduced.

The reason modern people don't have a bad sense of direction isn't because humans have evolved magnetic field sensing, but simply because high-precision navigation maps are now widespread. Shutting down navigation maps would give the relevant departments a much easier time.

He Ying had made thorough preparations for this trip overnight, to the point that she could recite them off the cuff, and had even memorized some urban legends and related folk customs.

however.

"Holy crap! Seven!"

Upon arriving at the internal road of the Emerging Agricultural College, He Ying confidently got out of the car, ready to submit her application and visit the college, which was currently under lockdown.

But as soon as He Ying got out of the car, she stared wide-eyed at the guard post on the inner road, where she saw a young woman sitting on the roadside petting a brown panda.

The panda squatting by the roadside was different from the black and white pandas we usually see. Although the black parts were not different, the fur on its belly and back, which should have been white, was light brown.

Compared to pandas in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas, its head is rounder and fuller, like a peanut dumpling.

After seeing the giant panda, He Ying paused briefly before discreetly getting back into the car. She quietly unlocked the child lock on the door, preparing to call the Forestry Bureau to rescue the poor girl.

That panda weighed at least 200 pounds.

Being pinned down by such a large bear, the girl probably had several broken ribs.
Hey! This way!

Wang Qiqi, whom He Ying judged to be seriously injured, saw Lin Ying through the windshield of the van, stood up, looked across the street, waved, and called out:
"Just park your car on the side of the road. The school is currently under lockdown, and vehicles are not allowed inside. You can only use the tram inside the school."

"Wang Wang Wang-"

The Qinling panda next to Wang Qiqi became anxious when it saw her stand up. It immediately grabbed her trouser leg and barked, then hugged her feet, refusing to let go.

"I told you I'd give you something to eat later, so let go of my hand now, okay?"

Seeing the panda hug her leg, Wang Qiqi, her face darkening, grabbed the panda's ear and began to scold it.

The pandas near the Xinxing Agricultural Academy have none of the majesty of bears; their eyes only show a longing for food and an anticipation of sleeping on a soft couch.

Wang Qiqi, looking annoyed, dragged the panda that wouldn't let go towards the road.

"It's alright. There's a panda conservation research institute behind the animal college next door, so you'll occasionally encounter pandas begging and acting like rascals on the streets here."

The panda protection policy in Chang'an is to not interfere with the pandas' normal lives, to create a suitable living environment for them, and to drive away harmful wild animals.

During the period when the campus was partially closed, it was actually quite normal to see giant pandas.

"Hey?"

Seeing the giant panda rolling around, An Sheng's face showed curiosity.

For him, the panda's existence can only appear in short videos.

When I was a student, I didn't have money to travel. After I started working, I didn't have time to travel either, and I didn't want to go out and be surrounded by crowds during holidays.

This was the first time An Sheng had ever seen a panda.

"Wang-"

The giant panda seemed to sense An Sheng's presence; it raised its paw and tugged at the fox's large tail.

"Hey! Considering your status as a top student, I'll just give you a little slap on the wrist. But if you dare to lick my boots, I'll mail you a zebra crossing cosplay in Shanxi tonight."

Although the panda was adorable, An Sheng still spoke up to show it her bottom line.

"What did Fuli say?"

Wang Qiqi saw the Fuli (a mythical fox) and the giant panda, one whimpering and the other barking and whimpering, seemingly communicating happily. Wang Qiqi couldn't help but look at Lin Ying and ask what the Fuli and the panda were talking about so happily.

"Don't you understand?" Lin Ying looked at Wang Qiqi with a hint of surprise.

Wang Qiqi glanced at He Ying, who was hiding at the back of the line as if she were worried a panda would eat her, and whispered to Lin Ying:
“You may have a misunderstanding about us. It’s true that we loggers can communicate with animals, but this ability is limited by species. I can only communicate with leopards and some felines.”

"When I hear felines talking, it feels like they are speaking Russian in my ear, let alone canines and bears."

If the leopard were nearby, Wang Qiqi could use it to translate, but the leopard is not here now.

"I don't understand either," Lin Ying said to Wang Qiqi matter-of-factly.

If she couldn't understand it, how could she possibly understand Master Fuli's fox-like words?
