Chapter 356
The staff nearby watched in astonishment; it was only the time it takes to open a door.
In just a short while, the animals that were just now furious and going crazy seemed to have become a different species.
It's like they've gone from wild beasts to domesticated pets.
What can one say about this?
Lin Xiao patted the African lion's head, and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, a patterned paw landed on his hand.
The soft, slightly rough pads of flesh rested on the back of her hand.
Lin Xiao walked along the dark alleyway beside the claw resting on her hand, somewhat surprised.
The African wild dog in the cage then gracefully withdrew its paw.
The dog simply stood on the edge of the cage, looking up at the person in front of it, its eyes unblinking.
"Hey woman! Aren't you coming with us?"
Upon hearing this, several animals nearby immediately looked up.
Standing there, everyone was staring intently in her direction. Lin Xiao felt as if a large hand had squeezed her heart hard, making it feel soft and hot.
She curved her lips into a smile, raised her hand and ruffled their heads one by one, before explaining with a hint of helplessness.
"This ship is to take you home. My home and your home are not in the same place."
"After I take you home, I'll go home too."
The African lion, who usually loves to stay close to Lin Xiao, rubbed against Lin Xiao's palm with soft, whimpering voices.
"Then you can come home with me. We'll take good care of you from now on."
Although the African wild dog didn't speak, its standing there motionless, its eyes fixed on Lin Xiao, clearly demonstrated its agreement.
Lin Xiao was deeply moved, but still refused them without hesitation.
“You have relatives waiting for you on the grassland, and I also have relatives waiting for me to come home.”
Seeing the little ones' disappointed looks, Lin Xiao comforted them one by one, speaking in a much gentler tone.
"I'm sorry! You should go home obediently. If I have the chance in the future, I will take the initiative to visit you on the African savanna."
"If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again in the future."
"However... remember to be careful when you're out in the future, and don't let those bad guys catch you again."
The group of large creatures in front of them reluctantly responded.
"Okay, but you absolutely have to come and see us."
The African lion nuzzled Lin Xiao's hand, its face full of reluctance.
"it is good!"
Lin Xiao smiled and rubbed the lion's big head again before stepping out from the back of the train carriage.
She turned to look at the staff member next to her.
"It's about time, can we move all these guys onto the ship now?"
This ship was originally requested specifically for these kittens, and even the staff who feed them were specially assigned from the African savanna.
Lin Xiao even prepared special food for them. It's obvious that these animals wouldn't suffer any hardship if they behaved themselves on the road.
Seeing how respectful and attentive Jakar was to Lin Xiao, the staff nearby assumed that Lin Xiao was some kind of high-ranking official and didn't dare to think too much about it, so they quickly nodded.
They moved the large iron cage from the truck bed onto a trolley, and then directly onto the ship through the port.
The animals in the cages stood by, staring intently at the woman behind them, until the car that had pushed them around the corner disappeared from sight.
Only then did he reluctantly withdraw his gaze, lower his head, and sniffle with a hint of melancholy.
The workers transporting the animals watched with wide curiosity. It was the first time they had ever seen such a human-like reaction from these wild beasts.
Standing outside the ship, Lin Xiao watched as the animals were transported onto the ship one by one, and the anxiety that had been building in his heart finally subsided.
In any case, the situation in Xinzhou is finally over.
After all this trouble, it finally has a good ending.
However... this experience was really not pleasant for Lin Xiao.
All she wanted to do right now was get back as soon as possible; she could worry about everything else later.
Lin Xiao let out a long breath and turned to leave, preparing to go back and pack his things, until the ship left the dock and disappeared from everyone's sight.
When Jakar saw the person turn around, he instinctively called out to her.
"Lin Xiao!"
Lin Xiao turned around and saw the tall and strong Jakar stride up to her and stop in front of her.
She raised her eyes curiously, waiting for him to say something next.
Gakar glanced around warily, then leaned to the side and quietly asked Lin Xiao.
"Liu Xin didn't say he was coming today, did he?"
Lin Xiao didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Brother Xin, but she still cooperated by nodding.
“He had something to do in his office today, so he only gave me the keys to the embassy car and told me to come over by myself.”
Upon hearing this, Shakalar nodded thoughtfully, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
He cleared his throat, solemnly adjusted his tie, and then turned to look at Lin Xiao standing in front of him with great seriousness.
“Ms. Lin Xiao, on behalf of my country, I would like to extend an invitation to you, hoping that you can come to my country and have a friendly exchange with our animal protection experts.”
Lin Xiao was stunned by Gakar's serious expression.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, Gakar couldn't help but look down at him and wink at him.
"There are so many people here, please give me some face."
In an instant, the person in front of him transformed from the well-dressed ambassador back into the familiar figure Lin Xiao knew.
Lin Xiao pursed her lips, somewhat amused.
but……
Relationships are relationships, but... matters involving the country cannot be spoken of casually.
In particular, Liu Xin's direct refusal last time indicated that the country clearly had other plans in this regard.
As a staff member of China, I naturally couldn't disrespect my own people.
Therefore, under Jakar's expectant gaze, Lin Xiao's lips curved into a faint smile.
Then, she slowly said, "I am duty-bound to help with the exchange of animal protection personnel between different countries, and I will not give up any opportunity that comes my way."
"However, as a government employee, I naturally have to follow the government's specific arrangements."
Lin Xiao smiled brightly, and her words were anything but polite.
"Therefore, if you want to invite me, it would be best to submit a visit invitation directly to our country and wait for their reply."
Gakar looked completely bewildered, seemingly still reeling from the earlier refusal.
How can it be?
Lin Xiao, the most easy-going person in their group... actually rejected him?!
