Chapter 653 Asking for Help for My Father
Hearing Bobo's moaning, the elephant keeper asked Jiang Yuan curiously, "Teacher Jiang, is Bobo telling you that it doesn't like carrots?"

“Yes.” Jiang Yuan nodded and explained with a smile, “Bobo asked me to tell you not to feed it carrots anymore, because it thinks carrots are the most disgusting food in the world.”

"Wow!" the elephant keeper exclaimed in surprise, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Fu Xiaoxiao exclaimed with delight, "Wow~ This adorable elephant thinks carrots are awful, just like me!"

As if he had found a kindred spirit, Bobo the elephant immediately stretched out his long trunk to rub against Fu Xiaoxiao, saying, "Bobo wants to be good friends with the sister who doesn't eat carrots!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, Bobo wants to be your best friend."

"Wow~" Fu Xiaoxiao reached out and touched its long nose, grinning, "I'd love to be friends with Bobo~"

The elephant made a happy buzzing sound instantly.

The elephant keeper watched helplessly, saying, "Being picky about food is not a good thing."

Bobo the elephant looked at Jiang Yuan again, his eyes full of hope: "Sister, tell Daddy that Bobo loves to eat apples and bananas."

Jiang Yuan realized that Elephant Bobo was a picky eater.

She then relayed Bobo's request to the elephant keeper.

The other person immediately felt a headache coming on: "This guy!"

Seeing Bobo do this, the other elephants followed suit and ran over to Jiang Yuan to express their own needs.

"Sister, I haven't eaten alfalfa in so long!"

"Sister, please tell Daddy that I don't want to eat beans for the next few days!"

"It's been so sunny lately, sister, can you tell Daddy I want an umbrella..."

Jiang Yuan's eyes were full of smiles; each elephant seemed to have its own ideas.

Upon learning what the elephants were thinking, the elephant keeper was even more perplexed. "Are you making a wish?"

But there's nothing we can do; after all, they're "our own child," so we can only spoil them.

The elephant keeper smiled wryly, "You want to eat alfalfa hay, not beans, and you need an umbrella, right? Okay, I've noted it all down."

After saying that, he turned to look at Jiang Yuan.

Before he could even speak, Jiang Yuan already knew what he was thinking.

She tactfully said, "I need to see other animals, so I'll be going now."

Upon hearing this, the elephant keeper quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't that he didn't welcome Jiang Yuan; he was afraid the children would make even more excessive and unreasonable demands.

Upon hearing that Jiang Yuan was leaving, the elephants expressed their reluctance to part with her.

"Sister, don't go! Will you be our zookeeper?"

"Yes, it would be great if my sister could be our zookeeper!"

"I like human sisters who can understand elephants~"

"Sister, don't go! I'll treat you to some of the tender leaves!"

As she spoke, Abebe used her long nose to curl up a tender leaf and held it out to Jiang Yuan.

"Thank you, Abebe." Jiang Yuan caught the tender leaf in her palm and said with a smile, "I'll come to see you again when I have the chance. Goodbye."

After leaving the elephant enclosure, the group went to other areas to see the animals, and only left the Baby Zoo close to closing time.

As night fell, on the driver's enthusiastic recommendation, we sampled local delicacies and strolled through the iconic night view of Sichuan.

It was past 11 p.m. when Jiang Yuan returned to the hotel. She took a shower, dried her hair, and lay on the bed, thinking about the woman she had met at the zoo that afternoon.

She clicked into the live streaming platform and started browsing her private message list. Soon she saw a chat window with someone named "Fengmian Xiaoyi".

With a light tap of her fingertip, the chat interface popped up.

Presumably to make it easier for her to recognize her, Fengmian Xiaoyi only sent one sentence: "[Host Jiang, I greeted you at the Baby Zoo today, I was wearing a floral dress.]"

Jiang Yuan quickly typed a few words in reply: 【Hello, is there something you'd like me to help you with?】

Fengmian Xiaoyi had probably been waiting for Jiang Yuan's message, and even prepared her message in advance before replying with a long text.

[Hello, host Jiang, this text is a bit long, I apologize for the inconvenience!]

Here's what happened: My dad suddenly had a heart attack and collapsed on the floor at home. But because we found him too late, by the time we got him to the hospital, it was too late.

After I finished arranging my father's funeral, I slowly started to feel strange. My father was usually in good health and had regular check-ups, so I kept thinking that maybe he had suffered some kind of shock that day, which caused his sudden heart attack.

We happen to have a little black dog named Laifu at home. We'd like to ask host Jiang to help us communicate with Laifu and ask if it knows what happened that day.

After reading this long passage, Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered that Orange Sea's mother was driven to her death by her husband and his mistress.

Was Fengmian Xiaoyi's father also angered by someone?
Jiang Yuan replied: [Xiao Yi, I've read what you posted. Is Laifu with you now?]

Fengmian Xiaoyi: [Yes, yes, I'm available for video calls anytime, whenever it's convenient for you, host.]

Jiang Yuan: [Okay, just a moment.]

She had to wait for Fu Xiaoxiao to finish showering and come out.

More than ten minutes later, Fu Xiaoxiao came out of the bathroom after drying her hair. "The hairdryer in this hotel is so hard to use. I'll have to bring my own next time I go out."

Jiang Yuan looked at her, raised an eyebrow and said, "Put your clothes on, I'm going to have a video call with my online friends."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoxiao grabbed a shirt and put it on. "Who are you video calling?"

"I met a visitor at the zoo today who felt that the reason for her father's death was a bit suspicious," Jiang Yuan said while sending a message to Fengmian Xiaoyi.

Jiang Yuan: [Can we video chat now?]

Fengmian Xiaoyi: [Okay, okay.]

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuan sent a video call invitation.

Feng Mian Xiaoyi immediately answered the call and said gratefully, "Host, thank you for your help."

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips slightly and said softly, "How long ago did this happen?"

Fengmian Xiaoyi: "It's been half a year."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "It's been a long time, I'm not sure if Laifu will still remember."

Fengmian Xiaoyi: "I believe Laifu will remember that he was raised by my father. After my father passed away, Laifu often stared blankly at his portrait."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened and her voice trembled with sobs. "And when my father collapsed at home, we heard Laifu barking as we opened the door. I knew it was calling for help for my father, but we were too late..."

After Feng Mian finished speaking, she covered her mouth and silently shed tears.

Jiang Yuan stared at the screen, her fingers unconsciously tightening their grip on the phone, and her eyes quietly burning.

She lowered her eyes, blinked, took a deep breath, and waited for the person on the other end of the screen to calm down before saying gently, "I understand, Xiaoyi. Let me talk to Laifu."

"Okay." Feng Mian adjusted the direction the camera was pointing.

Jiang Yuan saw a black dog sitting quietly on the ground, its deep black eyes inexplicably revealing a lonely sadness.
