Chapter 110 Disappointed Ruan Yunxian

After Teacher Zhu finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ruan Yunxian whispered to Lin Yu, "Being an assistant means handing things over and helping with tools, right?"

Lin Yu nodded.

"I think so."

"9

Hearing this, Ruan Yunxian was somewhat disappointed.

"Huh? Does that mean I can't touch those little animals?"

"I don't think so. It shouldn't be a problem to tell the zookeeper, right?"

"Can I take pictures?"

"That should work."

Ruan Yunxian immediately smiled and said, "Great! I want to take a picture with the red panda later!"

Lin Yu was not so optimistic; he felt that it was not their place to handle such precious animals.

For example, with giant pandas, it's highly unlikely that these college student volunteers would be able to handle them. In fact, the project might not even be able to afford to invite giant pandas to participate.

However, seeing Ruan Yunxian's excitement, Lin Yu did not say anything to dampen her spirits.

In short, it all depends on luck.

As the two were talking, Teacher Zhu began assigning tasks.

"Let's go in pairs."

"I'm in a group with senior Lin Yu!"

Ruan Yunxian immediately raised her hand, but the people around her were obviously used to it and didn't react.

Teacher Zhu looked at her and Lin Yu and nodded.

"Okay, you two together, and then—"

It's worth mentioning that Roy Cheung and Chan Ho-nam were in the same group, while Liao Yunfan was with Teacher Chu.

Teacher Zhu closed her notebook and looked at everyone: "Do you all understand your tasks now?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Master Wang will take you to your respective areas. Just return the molds and record sheets after you're done."

"By the way, be careful with the porcupine group, those quills are no joke," Master Wang added at the right moment.

Zhang Yaoyang's face immediately fell.

Ruan Yunxian laughed gleefully from the side, then tugged at Lin Yu's sleeve: "Senior, let's go!"

"Ugh, I don't like this."

Ruan Yunxian pouted, squatted down next to Lin Yu, put her hand on Lin Yu's shoulder, and pressed her fair forehead against the back of her hand.

"Senior, how much longer are you going to stir things up?!"

Lin Yu kept stirring the plaster in the bucket without stopping.

This was his task: to mix plaster.

After a brief conversation with him, the zookeeper in charge of the area went to prepare to bring the animals over.

Only Lin Yu and Ruan Yunxian remained, squatting there doing some preparations.

If you stop stirring, the plaster will solidify quickly, which will cause problems.

"Do you really think they'll let you hold a panda or something?"

"Huh? Isn't that right?"

Heart--

Ruan Yunxian raised her head, her forehead slightly flushed, from the red marks left by the pressure earlier.

She blinked at Lin Yu, her big eyes revealing three parts innocence, three parts naivety, and four parts confusion.

Lin Yu paused in his stirring motion.

real or fake?

"—You really think that way?"

Ruan Yunxian blinked, not denying it.

To prevent the plaster from hardening, Lin Yu quickened his pace.

"Then tell me, what kind of scene do you imagine?"

Ruan Yunxian immediately perked up.

"It's like that," Ruan Yunxian straightened up, correcting her squatting posture, "the zookeeper brings the panda out, and then I hold it, and then my senior takes pictures of me and the panda—"

She became more and more engrossed in her speech, her eyes shining brightly.

"The panda even makes a peace sign when taking photos!"

Ruan Yunxian stretched out two slender white fingers, made a peace sign, and waved it in front of Lin Yu.

Lin Yu drew only one conclusion from Ruan Yunxian's words.

Ruan Yunxian seems to be pretending to be cute.

"—A panda's paws might not be able to make that kind of movement."

Ruan Yunxian paused for a moment, looked down at the gesture she was making, then looked up and said confidently, "Then let's compare it to something else! Anything is fine! Even just raising your hand is okay!"

"That's wishful thinking. Don't even think about it next time."

Lin Yu had already seen the zookeeper carrying a bird that Lin Yu did not recognize as he walked over.

Having come this far, Lin Yu had no choice but to cruelly shatter Ruan Yunxian's illusions.

"Let's not even talk about whether Professor Zhu has the ability to get giant pandas to participate in his project. Even if he did, how could it be our turn?"

For national treasures like giant pandas, such activities are usually carried out by dedicated keepers.

Why would these college students of dubious origins get a chance?

"Huh? What animal will we be making a mold of?"

"Here it comes."

Lin Yu raised his chin and pointed in the direction the zookeeper had come from.

"Ah, it's a chicken."

Upon seeing the animals brought by the zookeeper, Ruan Yunxian visibly felt disappointed.

Like a deflated balloon, she lost all her strength and turned to support Lin Yu's shoulder.

"This isn't a chicken, is it? It's probably a kind of bird that's relatively rare but not that rare," Lin Yu guessed.

Zoos naturally don't keep common poultry, but it's unlikely that Lin Yu would be in charge of keeping anything too rare.

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Ruan Yunxian turned her head and glanced at him.

"Rare, but not that rare?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment.

"For example, a turkey?"

Ruan Yunxian blinked.

"Turkey? No, turkeys are ugly."

"So what do you want?"

Ruan Yunxian thought about it seriously for two seconds.

"I want something fluffy."

"Don't birds also have feathers?"

"That's different!"

"Then tell the zookeeper later to get you a fluffy one."

Ruan Yunxian pursed her lips.

"My word doesn't count—"

She pressed her forehead back against the back of Lin Yu's hand that was resting on his shoulder, and her whole dejected expression returned.

Soon, the zookeeper arrived with his chickens.

No, it's a peacock.

"Brother, is that a peacock?"

"yes.

""

"Oh! Aren't peacocks like that?"

Ruan Yunxian spread her palms and made a gesture resembling a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

"This is a female peacock, and the one you're talking about is a male peacock." Lin Yu quickly explained to Ruan Yunxian after hearing her somewhat ignorant question.

"This is Lanlan, a female peacock in our park." The keeper introduced the female peacock in his arms, "The young man is right, female peacocks usually don't display their tail feathers, and their feather colors are relatively plain."

"Here, this is fine."

After a brief introduction, Lin Yu placed the pre-prepared mold, resembling fine sand, in front of the zookeeper.

The zookeeper grabbed the peacock's left and right claws one after the other, leaving two claw prints on the mold.

"Hey bro, speaking of which, why don't we find a male peacock? It'll look better in the photos, won't it?"

Lin Yu checked the mold and confirmed that the mold was intact. He then slowly poured plaster into it while chatting casually with the zookeeper.

"Well, the reason is actually quite simple," the zookeeper explained to Lin Yu as he put the peacock down.

"Firstly, male peacocks are quite large, making them difficult to bring over. Secondly, it's not working hours right now, and the males are all on display outside, so it's not convenient to capture them."
