Chapter 112 You can come to my house during summer vacation

"Ah, it's all over." Ruan Yunxian pouted in disappointment.

"It's almost closing time, that's normal." Lin Yu glanced at the time. "There should be one more left now."

There aren't many interactive exhibits at Hongshan Zoo, and most of them have already ended by this time.

The only thing I can still participate in is the bird feeding project.

Visitors can take a small dish of nuts or other food and enter an area enclosed by a large metal cage. Inside, there are various parrots that can be fed.

"However, I don't think you'd be interested."

"What is it?" Ruan Yunxian asked curiously, wondering why Lin Yu was so certain.

Does my senior know my preferences very well?

"Feeding the birds."

"Oh, I see."

Ruan Yunxian indeed showed little interest in this project.

Actually, it wasn't so bad. Those colorful parrots were quite pretty, and it was quite fun to feed them while they stood on the metal plate in my hand.

But today is different.

Ruan Yunxian had just spent the afternoon playing with chickens, and all her excitement for poultry had been exhausted.

I have absolutely no interest in it.

"Why didn't a fluffy red panda suddenly escape and then frantically jump into my arms while being chased by the staff?!"

Looking at the cute little pandas behind her through the fence, Ruan Yunxian started daydreaming.

The long queue outside the giant panda enclosure meant that if they just took a quick look, they could leave the park immediately. So, Lin Yu opted to take Ruan Yunxian to see the red pandas instead.

They're both pandas, so they should be about the same size.

"Look, senior!"

A red panda suddenly stood up, supporting its body on its two hind legs, with its two front paws hanging naturally at its sides, revealing its black belly.

The little panda is standing at attention.

Although there was no time to see the giant pandas, Ruan Yunxian was still very excited to see the cute red pandas.

After leaving the red panda area, Lin Yu finally made it to the monkey mountain and saw the water monkeys he had been longing to see.

"Senior, what's so interesting about monkeys?"

Ruan Yunxian didn't understand why Lin Yu insisted on seeing the monkey.

"Monkeys are nothing special, I mainly want to see that one."

Lin Yu pointed to the monkey that was boating in the pool; that was what he most wanted to see today.

Ruan Yunxian looked in the direction Lin Yu pointed—

In the pool at Monkey Mountain, a monkey is squatting on a floating bamboo raft, its paws slowly paddling in the water.

The bamboo raft swayed and spun on the water, but the monkey remained as steady as a mountain, unmoved.

Ruan Yunxian was stunned for a moment.

"Is it... rowing a boat?"

"yes."

Lin Yu last saw a monkey rowing a boat a long time ago. He was still young then, and he only remembered that the monkey later became very capable.

I just don't know what the future holds for this monkey.

"Do you know this monkey? The monkey that has a government job but hasn't been able to get a permanent position."

"What do you mean?" Ruan Yunxian was a little confused about what Lin Yu was talking about.

"I heard that it offended the monkey king and was driven into the water. There are monkeys on the shore to guard it and prevent it from coming ashore."

"?"

"I heard that this monkey troop is divided into three factions under the monkey king. The 'Kongwu' faction is directly under the monkey king, while the 'Xiusheng' faction, mainly composed of young monkeys, often fights with the 'Kongwu' faction for territory."

"And then there are the canal gangs, those six or seven monkeys who are always on the water, often paddling bamboo rafts."

Ruan Yunxian was very surprised; she had no idea that such things could happen among monkeys.

"Isn't anyone going to do anything about this?"

Ruan Yunxian was very surprised. She had always thought that animals in the zoo were carefree and lived a good life of eating and sleeping every day.

"Actually, there's not much to manage. This is just the natural socialization behavior of these monkeys; it's part of their lives."

Lin Yu explained.

"Moreover, the keepers will prepare special meals for these monkeys from the canal gang to ensure they have enough food."

"I see."

After watching the water monkeys, Lin Yu felt that today's event had been a complete success.

"what!"

Just as Lin Yu was about to leave to explore other places, Ruan Yunxian suddenly let out a scream.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yu turned around and saw Ruan Yunxian holding her phone with a very regretful expression on her face.

"Look, senior! They've got a baby panda!"

Ruan Yunxian turned her phone towards Lin Yu and showed him photos of several group members posing with panda cubs.

Cheung Yiu-yeung was holding a red panda, which was perched on his shoulder, looking adorable. Chan Ho-nam, meanwhile, was making a peace sign next to him.

"Didn't you say they wouldn't bring out the panda?"

"I'm talking about giant pandas, right? Red pandas and giant pandas are quite different."

This is not surprising.

Hongshan Zoo has a program for feeding red pandas, but the time is fixed, and it ended when Lin Yu and Ruan Yunxian finished their work and came out.

Under these circumstances, it is only natural that we can mold the paw prints of red pandas.

"Why wasn't it me?!"

Ruan Yunxian was very upset because she wasn't assigned to that group, and it also took up her time for the interactive activity with the red pandas.

I spent almost the entire afternoon dealing with a bunch of chickens.

"I'm so stupid, so very stupid—"

Ruan Yunxian started squatting on the ground, muttering resentfully.

"Alright, alright, let's come again next time. It's not like the zoo has gone out of business." Lin Yu patted Ruan Yunxian's head reassuringly. "If all else fails, we can go to my place. My uncle runs a private zoo. Although there aren't any rare animals, you can touch them as much as you want."

"Really?" Ruan Yunxian suddenly raised her head, her eyes lighting up instantly.

Actually, she didn't care too much about whether she could handle these animals; it was something that could be done by spending some money, and it wasn't a big deal.

Ruan Yunxian was more concerned about being able to go out with Lin Yu.

If I go to my senior's hometown, he can take me out to play, right?

"Okay, then I'll go there during summer vacation!"

After having a simple meal with his fellow club members, Lin Yu returned to his rented apartment close to nine o'clock at night.

It was unusual for Liu Zhiyuan to be away from his bed; I wonder where he'd gone off to fool around.

Lin Yu didn't care about Liu Zhiyuan's whereabouts. He was already in his twenties and still spent all his time in bars; if he got picked up by someone while he was drunk, it was his own fault.

Lin Yu put down his schoolbag, went to the bathroom to take a shower and change his clothes, and then sat on the sofa to look at his phone.

The group chat was still buzzing, with most people expressing envy and jealousy that Roy Cheung could hold a baby panda.

Lin Yu also had a photo of Ruan Yunxian holding a peacock, which he originally wanted to post. However, Ruan Yunxian thought the female peacock wasn't pretty enough and couldn't compare to Zhang Yaoyang's, so she didn't let Lin Yu post it.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu decided to send the photo to Ruan Yunxian separately.
