Chapter 119 Depression

When the staff rushed over after learning that Xingbao had "escaped," the scene before them shocked them so much that they stood there dumbfounded.

A group of tourists surrounded him, each taking out their phones to record the scene, their expressions of surprise evident.

Xu An squatted down next to Xingbao and gently stroked the downy hair on her belly.

Xingbao, on the other hand, lay on her back like a puppy, squinting her eyes and making "cooing" sounds in her throat. You could even see the word "comfort" on her face.

As for the woman and child who angered Xingbao and were sent flying by a slap, they were subconsciously forgotten by other tourists, but it was her painful groans that attracted the attention of the staff.

I saw a mother and child lying on the ground through the parted crowd.

The staff immediately called 120 for emergency medical assistance.

Given the opinions of surrounding tourists and video evidence, the zoo not only doesn't have to compensate the woman for her injuries, but may even sue her for endangering public safety.

If it weren't for the woman and her indulgence, how could Xingbao have possibly been so enraged as to "break out of prison"?

If Xu An hadn't been there, who knows what might have happened.

Although Xingbao is a panda, it also contains the character for "bear".

No one dared to imagine the consequences of an enraged bear charging into a crowd of tourists.

It could very well lead to a horrific bloodshed.

The panda enclosure is temporarily closed, and all access routes are blocked, prohibiting visitors from watching the pandas.

An elderly man with half-gray hair looked at the scene before him, his complex expression a mixture of surprise and shock.

A young man was lying next to two pandas, and he was laughing as he reached out to tease them.

The two pandas lay on their backs, not baring their teeth, but instead retracting their claws and sharp teeth, allowing the young man to tease them.

Even staff members who have raised the two pandas since they were pandas couldn't get them to cooperate like this.

Just as that woman said, a beast is a beast; it cannot understand human speech.

But right now, the two pandas seem to understand what the young man is saying, and they cooperate with his teasing.

The old man stepped forward and said, "Young man, I am so grateful to you for what happened to Xingbao. If you hadn't stopped Xingbao, I don't even want to think what might have happened."

The old man's name is Zhou Yuanfeng, and he is the director of Jiangdu Zoo.

"It's nothing, just a small favor," Xu An said with a smile, looking at the old man.

Before the two could exchange more than a few words, a staff member suddenly strode in and whispered something in Zhou Yuanfeng's ear.

Suddenly, Zhou Yuanfeng's eyes widened as he looked at Xu An.

He truly hadn't expected that the young man who had stopped Xingbao from his rage and violence was the same person who had previously scare away the tigers in the tiger enclosure.

Previously at the tiger enclosure, if Xu An hadn't shouted at the tigers to scare them away, the child who fell in wouldn't have survived until the staff came to rescue him.

A complex mix of emotions and shock flashed in Zhou Yuanfeng's eyes.

It can not only scare away fierce tigers, but also stop enraged pandas.

Who exactly is this young man? Does he have special abilities?

"Young man, I am Zhou Yuanfeng, the director of Jiangdu Zoo. On behalf of Jiangdu Zoo, I really want to thank you. I never expected that you were the one who scared away the tiger in the tiger enclosure!" Zhou Yuanfeng said with emotion.

Xu An smiled nonchalantly, without offering any further explanation.

Sometimes, the more you explain something, the more guilty you seem, so you might as well just change the subject.

"Director Zhou, actually, the flashing lights were just a trigger for Xingbao's escape. The real reason was that Xingbao was sick." Xu An scratched Xingbao's furry chin with one hand.

"Are you sick?" Zhou Yuanfeng was taken aback.

Xingbao is one of the most prized possessions of Jiangdu Zoo, so we can't afford any problems with him.

Zhou Yuanfeng turned to the staff member at the door who was caring for Xingbao, his tone serious: "Why didn't you report to me that Xingbao was sick?"

"Director, Xingbao isn't sick. There's nothing wrong with her health, and she eats this much every day," the staff member protested, vehemently denying the allegations.

Before Zhou Yuanfeng could continue, Xu An interjected, "Xingbao's problem isn't physical, it's mental."

"Mental state?" Zhou Yuanfeng was taken aback.

"In our terms, Xingbao has depression," Xu An said.

"Depression?" Zhou Yuanfeng frowned.

Depression is not exclusive to humans; in fact, many animals can also suffer from it.

Even cats and dogs can suffer from depression.

"Yes." Xu An nodded.

"Based on my guess, it's probably due to the environment she's in and the fact that Xingbao has been alone for many years."

Zhou Yuanfeng frowned: "Are you sure?"

"Of course," Xu An nodded.

Now it was Zhou Yuanfeng's turn to be in a dilemma. As we all know, depression cannot be treated with medication alone. If this is true for humans, then it is even more true for animals.

"Do you have any ideas?" Zhou Yuanfeng asked.

This is like trying to revive a dead horse.

With the tiger park incident first and the Xingbao incident later, Zhou Yuanfeng felt that Xu An might actually have a solution.

"I suggest changing Xingbao's environment so she can interact more with other children of her kind," Xu An replied.

Zhou Yuanfeng nodded, neither saying it was bad nor good.

Jiangdu Zoo only had two pandas in total, and they're both here now.

He glanced at the two pandas playing beside Xu An, his expression complex.

Xu An left Jiangdu Zoo with Jiang Xiyan.

Before leaving, Zhou Yuanfeng gave Xu An and Jiang Xiyan each a lifetime free card to thank them for their contributions.

Cardholders can visit Jiangdu Zoo for free in the future.

On a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Jiang Xiyan turned her head and stared at Xu An with bright eyes.

Xu An couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Xiyan, you've been staring at me for ten minutes straight. Aren't your eyes tired?"

"I'm not tired!" Jiang Xiyan said crisply.

"I could watch it for a lifetime and never get tired of it!"

This girl always says things that make people blush and their hearts race without them even realizing it.

As she spoke, Jiang Xiyan began to say in an admiring tone, "Xu An, you're really amazing!"

"It seems like there's nothing in this world that can stump you!"

Xu An's lips curled up uncontrollably, just like an AK.

"Ahem." He coughed lightly, his expression turning serious. "Alright, stop praising me. Let's get out of the car and eat."

It's the same familiar street food stall.

However, it wasn't the one we were familiar with before.

This place was specially chosen by Jiang Xiyan.

She didn't want to run into some freeloader who wanted to steal Xu An's attention while she was having dinner with him.

Of course, even if I encounter her, I'm not afraid.

She didn't lose the last drinking contest, hmph!

"Xu An, Xu An, why don't you drink this craft beer? I specifically chose this shop that sells craft beer. I read online that craft beer tastes better than the other beers you usually drink."

Jiang Xiyan said this, but there was something else she didn't say.

Craft beer has a higher alcohol content than other beers, making it more intoxicating.
