Chapter 435

After sending the little guy out of the room, Lin Xiao, despite her strong disapproval, still made a special trip to find Gakar.

When Jakar received Lin Xiao's call, his voice was tinged with amusement.

"Hey! What's up with you today? You just called me not long ago, why are you calling again?"

He smiled quite frankly. "So, what brings you here this time?"

"You know the Red-billed Quillia, right? Just now, a little guy came to me specifically to ask me to help you make a request."

A question mark slowly appeared on Gakar's forehead.

"No, you're all going to meddle with this?"

Lin Xiao chuckled upon hearing this, "It's not a question of whether we want to or not, but the sparrow is a cautionary tale, so we should be more careful if we can."

"Farmers may kill animals, but as officials, we should still pay more or less attention when creating projects."

Gakar clicked his tongue lightly, but finally nodded seriously.

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to them about it later."

"By the way, you probably don't have anywhere to stay on the grassland with those two students, right?"

Gakar smiled and took the initiative to speak.

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely sensed that the other party was up to something again.

However, she was still very cooperative and nodded.

"So you're going to provide us with accommodation?"

Gakar couldn't help but chuckle before calmly speaking.

“We have a dedicated animal protection research institute near the grassland. If you don’t mind, you can bring your two students and stay there.”

"Perfect timing! You, as a translation master, can also help our institute's staff take a look and see what's wrong with how they're taking care of the small animals?"

Lin Xiao chuckled, "You guys really have no manners at all?!"

However, the smile on Lin Xiao's face was fleeting, and then his tone became serious again.

"I'm planning to take the two of them to the grasslands to observe various animals up close, so would it be convenient for you to give us some self-defense tools?"

"No matter what, you personally organized this research team, so we can't just leave it unattended, can we?"

Gakar chuckled and shook his head. "You really are unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss."

As for weapons...

After hesitating for a while, Gakar nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay! Let me check the details first and see what you're allowed to bring. I'll give you the items when I pick you up tomorrow."

The two people hit it off immediately.

Silent all night.

The next day, when everyone gathered at the hotel entrance, Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan both had obvious dark circles under their eyes.

Even so, you could still feel the excitement emanating from the two of them.

After all, as a biology graduate student, wouldn't anyone be excited to have the opportunity to freely observe the grasslands?
Not to mention, the person with them this time is Lin Xiao, who can understand animal speech.

This means that this time they can actually negotiate with the animals and have a close observation and contact with them.

Unlike previous animal world programs that peeked into the lives of animals through various cameras, this program actually showed people living alongside them.

As soon as Zhao Yu came downstairs, he saw his student standing next to the stairs, his face beaming with excitement.

She chuckled and shook her head, then walked over to Lin Xiao to thank her.

"It's really thanks to you for helping me take care of those two. Otherwise, I would be so busy taking care of both the group's affairs and them.

"It's just that the two of them don't usually interact with others outside of the lab, so they often say whatever comes to mind, so don't take it too seriously."

Lin Xiao shook her head with a smile, "How old am I? Why would I argue with two kids?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu burst out laughing, "How old are you? Aren't you the same age as them?"

“If you hadn’t entered the workforce too early for some reason, you would be in an ivory tower right now, just like them.”

Lin Xiao hesitated, then could only give an awkward smile.

Even after watching Zhao Yu leave, she couldn't help but purse her lips guiltily.

This is embarrassing, isn't it?

To be honest, he might be five or six years older than Zhao Yu.

Unfortunately, this secret will probably never be known to anyone.

She tidied her things and walked directly to Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan.

When the two little ones saw Lin Xiao coming over, their expressions instantly became more excited.

"Teacher Lin, we are all ready."

Their eyes lit up; they seemed quite impatient.

The others surrounding their mentors couldn't help but smirk at their excitement.

A look of disgust.

After the three of them walked out of the hotel door excitedly, they looked at each other and couldn't help but lower their voices to complain quietly.

"Zhao Yu is so irresponsible, he just casually handed Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan over to Lin Xiao to take care of?"

"Lin Xiao looks much younger than them, and hasn't even taken any professional courses yet. Is it really okay for him to directly supervise graduate students like this?"

"Ha, even the teachers think there's no problem, and you guys are worrying about them?"

"I also heard that they plan to stay on the grassland for a few more days this time. I wonder if it's to enjoy the scenery or to exchange and learn from each other!"

Everyone was chatting and laughing, clearly not taking Lin Xiao seriously.

The three people who had just stepped outside had just put their luggage in the arranged car and hadn't even turned around when they heard Jakar's very excited voice.

"Lin Xiao, have you been waiting long?!"

Lin Xiao turned around and saw Gakar running over excitedly, carrying three backpacks.

However, the other party was not dressed in a suit and tie like when they met before, and did not look like a high-ranking successful person.

At this moment, Gakar was wearing a simple tracksuit, which made him look more youthful.

Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan had heard before that Lin Xiao had a very close relationship with the diplomat in front of them, and now they saw that it was indeed true.

The two people looked at the approaching person with great curiosity.

Gakar seemed to be used to being stared at and did not show any discomfort.

With a smile in his eyes, he handed the things in his hand directly to the three people in front of him.

"There are some simple living tools and some small self-defense tools inside. Please be careful on the grassland."

Lin Xiao smiled and accepted it, thanking him very sincerely before distributing the items to the two people next to her.

Sun Zhongwen looked surprised.

what?
They even have a share of this stuff?!

Seeing their wide eyes staring intently at her, Lin Xiao couldn't help but raise the item in her hand even higher. "What are you all standing there for? Take it!"

Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan nodded quickly and excitedly took the items into their hands.

The two of them, their faces full of excitement, secretly peeked through the gap in the bag and could only vaguely make out the shape of a dagger.

Although it wasn't anything good, the two were still very excited and thanked Jakar and Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao waved his hand, telling them to get in the car.

At that moment, people began to emerge from the hotel lobby.

Although they hadn't had much contact with Gakar, they were very clear about who had invited them.
So when they saw Jakar, everyone immediately smiled and greeted him standing next to them.

Gakar nodded with a reserved expression, appearing very polite.

After they all got on the bus, Jakar stood by the roadside and waved to Lin Xiao, who was leaning against the window.

"Lin Xiao, I'll be waiting here for your good news."

Lin Xiao shook her head speechlessly, but still waved to him in a very cooperative manner.

However, seeing the familiar interaction between the two, the student next to them hesitated to speak, and finally just silently sat back down in his seat.

On the first day, they simply followed the staff's instructions and took a tour of the research institute on the grassland.

I had a good look at their country's animal conservation efforts.

Yes, that's the research institute where Lin Xiao and the others are planning to live.

So when Lin Xiao left in the afternoon, she had already put her luggage in the room that had been arranged for her.

However, upon hearing that everyone was preparing to leave, she still took the initiative to come out and see them off properly.

It wasn't until after they got on the bus that everyone noticed the three people who had been sitting next to them were nowhere to be seen.

Even the professor, who had been so arrogant, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

How dare Lin Xiao disappear during such an important exchange?!

Aren't you afraid of accidentally violating the taboos of this country?

Especially in religious countries, a single misbehavior could jeopardize relations between the two nations.

The professor immediately got up, preparing to get out of the car to find someone.

Just as they reached the car door, they saw Zhao Yu and Lin Xiao talking not far from the entrance of the research institute.

He hesitated, but finally steeled himself and went over.

"Teacher Zhao, I noticed three people are missing from the bus. Didn't we agree to travel together? It doesn't seem like it's appropriate for them to leave the group on their own."

He spoke in a very serious tone, and although he didn't name anyone, anyone with ears would know who he was mocking.

Lin Xiao smiled, then raised her eyebrows thoughtfully.

However, she then turned her smiling gaze to Zhao Yu beside her.

Zhao Yu and Lin Xiao wanted to try laughing, so he took the initiative to explain.

"You misunderstood. Lin Xiao had already discussed it with me before making the decision."

"She contacted the people herself, and her students managed to get the opportunity to stay a few more days. I saw that the two students agreed, so I agreed as well."

After saying that, Zhao Yu even took the initiative to ask the professor, "What? Do you have any requests? If needed, I can fully cooperate with you."

The old professor held his breath, remained silent for a long time, and finally just snorted coldly, "I don't have that many demands."

"I just noticed that there were fewer people on the bus, and I was worried that they might accidentally cause trouble here and affect the relationship between our two countries."

"But since it was Teacher Zhao's permission, I have nothing to say."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and got on the bus parked next to him.

He found his seat, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

The two people standing under the car looked at the old professor's energetic demeanor, exchanged a glance, and silently shut their mouths.

However, Zhao Yu still didn't miss the point about giving instructions.

“The three of us need to be careful on the grassland. Although I know you can communicate with these animals, no one can guarantee that those beasts will obey you.”

"So you have to be careful no matter what, understand?"

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, talking as she pushed Zhao Yu toward the car.

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

"How many times have you said these words? Don't worry, I will definitely send your two students back safely, okay?"

Seeing her impatient expression, Zhao Yu could only let out a slow sigh.

There's nothing we can do about him.

Lin Xiao's smile was extremely playful. "Alright, alright, everyone's waiting for you in the car. Don't keep them waiting too long!"

Zhao Yu had no choice but to get into the car.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but turn back and remind her, "You have to be careful here, okay? Otherwise, whether it's Lu Chengshen or Teacher Chu asking me for you, I can't afford to offend either of them."

Lin Xiao waved and nodded in response, appearing to be a very obedient person.

But after the car disappeared from their sight, Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan, who were standing next to them, couldn't help but cautiously look at the young teacher in front of them.

I hesitate to speak!

Lin Xiao turned around and saw two people staring at her intently. She stopped abruptly and looked at them with suspicion.

"What's wrong? Speak your mind!"

"Teacher Zhao repeatedly told us to keep a close eye on you and absolutely not let you do anything dangerous." Zheng Yunnan looked conflicted.

Sun Zhongwen nodded and immediately said, "Teacher Zhao repeatedly told us that if possible, we should stay in the research institute and not go too deep into the grasslands."

"so……"

The two looked at each other, then turned to look at Lin Xiao with expectant expressions, their faces filled with entanglement and frustration.

"So, should we still proceed with our original plan and go deeper into the grasslands for observation?"

After learning that they could get up close to the animals, the two of them were bursting with excitement and anticipation.

I didn't even sleep well last night, I was just focused on waiting for today.

But to everyone's surprise, Teacher Zhao poured a bucket of cold water on him.

While safety is of course more important than other factors, no one can refuse the opportunity to get up close and personal with these wild animals!

Seeing the two people staring at him expectantly, Lin Xiao's lips curled into a mysterious smile.

"So? Do you want to go?"

Seeing that the two of them hesitated to speak, Lin Xiao clicked his tongue lightly before finally speaking slowly...

"If I don't go, it'll be perfect, I can just..."

Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, she heard two people take a step forward with eager expressions and say, "Go, go, of course we want to go."

Lin Xiao smiled brightly, "There's nothing to hesitate about. Let's pack up and leave this afternoon!"
