Chapter 289 The Little Chubby Bird Arrives

Xu Ying looked completely bewildered.

The live streaming industry is buzzing!
[It's actually Brother Qi! He's incredibly talented!]

These two young masters and ladies used donations as a gimmick to overwhelm the other party, but when it came to actually paying, they turned into cowards?

[Doing charity is just a joke; we're not forcing people to donate. If they're not happy about it, they shouldn't use charity as an excuse.]

[Anyway, it's clear that Brother Qi is very willing and generous. These two's clothes and shoes easily cost six figures. The entertainment industry makes money quickly, and this kind of behavior is somewhat off-putting.]

"Qi Xiao?" Ye Jie, who was diligently laying moss nearby, looked up and asked innocently, "Why would Brother Qi Xiao suddenly donate money? Has he been watching Station Chief Xu's live stream the whole time?"

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then added, "I saw Su Zhining and Lu Jinyu arguing so fiercely, I thought one of them would secretly get there first."

This unintentional remark made both parties blush instantly.

Jia Yao still harbored resentment towards Lu Jinyu because of the motorcycle incident. At this moment, he shook his head with Ye Jie and said, "Donating three million is probably just something to talk about when we're arguing. They might not actually be willing to donate three million. It's all bark and no bite."

"Xiao Ye and Station Master Xu said they would donate all their earnings from appearing on the show, right? That's what you call doing great things quietly."

Ye Jie was puzzled as to why Jia Yao, who usually ignored her, was suddenly talking to her. She shook her head shyly, "Haha, it's alright. Money can be earned again. Station Master Xu's help and support are invaluable."

Lu Jinyu and Su Zhining's faces immediately turned bright red. They had both heard that Ye Jie's family owned a small stir-fry restaurant, and now she had actually donated all her earnings to a shelter.

Those who established themselves as rich second-generation heirs were arguing so fiercely just now, but now they're dragging their feet. Compared to them, it's clear they're inferior. If they donate any slower, I wonder what kind of stories the marketing accounts will tell them!
Su Zhining immediately pulled out her phone and swiped her fingers across the screen: "Hehe, I'll transfer it right now!" She angrily showed off the successful transfer screen.

"Ha, I'm 0.6 seconds faster than you!"

Lu Jinyu waved his phone dismissively. "So I still won this competition!" He pointed triumphantly to the surrounding moss squares. "And besides the patch you destroyed, I covered a larger area than you—a double victory!"

Just as tensions were about to escalate, a staff member approached with flowers and a certificate: "Thank you both for your strong support of snow mountain protection! Let's take a photo together!"

"Who wants to take a picture with him/her!" The two refused in unison, and after realizing their "synchronized understanding," they both turned their faces away at the same time.

Xu Ying tilted her head: "No, I'm starting to ship you two."

Su Zhining and Lu Jinyu's faces darkened even more!

The "carpet-laying battle" lasted for two hours before ending, leaving all the guests exhausted. The winner of this round was Jia Yao, who quietly got things done, followed by Ye Jie, Yao Yingzhe, and Lu Jinyu.

As expected, the fastidious Su Zhining came in last place.

The drone slowly rose into the air, showing everyone the results of the guests' two hours of hard work.

In the photos, the once bare permafrost is now covered with a huge "green carpet," gleaming softly in the sunlight.

The plateau pikas frolicked on the moss squares, their furry bodies acting like tiny brooms, compacting the loose moss.

Their claw prints left fine lines on the moss.

In the distance, several blue sheep strolled gracefully towards them. They carefully stepped on the newly laid moss, their hard hooves acting like natural road rollers, making the moss and soil more compact with each step.

A flock of little snow chickens fluttered down, dropping the grass seeds they carried in their beaks. "Wow, did we really spend two hours doing this?"

Looking at the scene before her, Ye Jie smiled warmly at her frostbitten cheeks. She crouched down and gently stroked a patch of moss she had laid out. A pika curiously approached and touched her finger with its wet nose.

Jia Yao, unusually, put away his showy expression and murmured as he looked at the endless green squares, "I never thought that while we were working hard, we would actually create a small oasis."

Xu Ying stood between the two, her voice soft yet firm: "Right beneath our feet, countless small animal cubs perished as the permafrost melted."

She pointed into the distance, “But now, this will become the first playground for ibex cubs to learn to run, and the first spring that snow chicken babies will see after hatching.”

The camera panned across the faces of each guest: Yao Yingzhe stroked his beard with satisfaction, Lu Jinyu gazed into the distance with unusual quiet, and even the usually spoiled Su Zhining stared blankly at the small animals leaping on the moss.

As the drone ascended, the entire restoration area, nestled amidst snow-capped mountains, resembled a piece of jade. Sunlight pierced through the clouds, gilding this vibrant scene with golden edges.

After resting, the guests traveled by car to a popular area at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

Located at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, in the open-air garden of a five-star snow-view hotel, Xu Ying held up a task card, her clear voice particularly distinct in the cold wind:

“Next up is the Snow Mountain Guide Challenge!” She smiled at the five guests. “On the snow mountain, there are many ‘little supervisors’—snow pigeons, northern long-tailed tits, snow finches, and other birds. They will inform us and point out the uncivilized behavior of tourists.”

"One point is awarded for each instance of successfully stopping littering, feeding wild animals, or smoking!"

She waved the points card in her hand.

"But be careful—they will only lead you to the violator if you correctly call out the bird's name or gain their 'favor'!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a series of fluttering wings sounded—

"Chirp!"

A plump bird landed lightly on Xu Ying's shoulder. Its fluffy feathers made it look like a small snowball that had just been rolled. Its black bean-like eyes darted around, curiously observing everyone.

"Wow—!" Ye Jie was instantly charmed, cupping her face in her hands. "This is just too cute!"

Having done her research, she immediately recognized the bird: "This is a Northern Long-tailed Tit!"

The live stream chat exploded instantly—

【Ahhh, it's a chubby little bird!!!】

Did this bird grow up eating cute treats?

They're round and plump, just like little glutinous rice balls!

The Northern Longtail Tit tilted its head, seemingly pleased with everyone's reaction. With a flap of its small wings, it hopped directly onto Ye Jie's head, its fluffy tail bobbing up and down like a moving hair ornament.

Xu Ying couldn't help but chuckle: "It seems to really like you! The Northern Long-tailed Tit is quite the 'little informant' on the snowy mountains. Its family has a wide influence, and they often move around in small groups of ten to thirty."

"It is very popular among birds, or rather, among birds. In winter, it even mixes with other tits and warblers, rubbing their feathers against each other for warmth."
