I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

News of the Mary family settling in the outer district spread faster than the wind.

Within just two or three days, a group of tourists came to visit.

Many cars drove by to see the elephant herd, to see the seventy-year-old elephant leader, and to see the elephants courting.

Tourists raised their binoculars, tour guides adjusted their walkie-talkies, and off-road vehicles moved slowly along a fixed route.

"Look at the herd of elephants under that tree. That's the famous Mary family. That one is Mary, the leader of the elephant family. The one in front is her eldest daughter, and the ones behind are her grandchildren."

"And what about those two ends in the distance? Those two are always walking side by side."

"They are an elephant couple. The male elephant is called Chuyi, and the female elephant is called Xiaoxiao. They are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. The male elephant was driven out of his family, but he didn't leave. He just followed him from a distance. The female elephant would run out to look for him every day."

"They are really in love; the way the male elephant looks at the female elephant is different."

Do elephants really experience love?

"Of course, they have very delicate emotions."

The SUV was parked at a safe distance, and the tourists inside discussed the situation in hushed tones.

Lan Xiaoxiao's ears twitched.

She and Chu Yi were standing side by side under a tree, slowly eating leaves.

She heard what the humans were saying, pressed her ears back, and gently poked Chu Yi's shoulder with her nose: "Did you hear that? They said we're in love."

Chu Yi chewed on a tender leaf and said, "We're dating."

Lan Xiaoxiao: "I know, I just wanted to say... we're like wild elephants on the African savanna, how come we still have no privacy?!"

Chu Yi touched her ear with his nose: "Should I go scare them away?"

Lan Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, we don't have anything to hide."

A low commotion arose in the distance, and a voice said, "Someone online said that the elephant that trampled people to death was that one, and it was the first elephant of the lunar month."

The speaker pointed to the first year of junior high school.

Lan Xiaoxiao overheard this and said jokingly, "They say you're the murderer."

Chu Yi didn't stop, continuing to eat tree leaves, chewing very slowly: "It's me, so what?"

Hahahahahaha.

What an arrogant first-year junior high student.

Lan Xiaoxiao stared at the first half of the grass for a while, then bent down and rolled up some tender grass on the ground before walking towards the SUVs at a moderate pace.

Chu Yi, not understanding why, immediately followed behind her.

Inside the SUV, someone instinctively took a half step back and placed their hand on the door handle.

But some people were laughing foolishly, even recording videos of the adult elephants walking by, excitedly calling out in small voices.

The guide nervously gestured to the driver to prepare to reverse.

Lan Xiaoxiao stopped a few steps away from the jeep, put the tender grass she was holding in her nose on the ground, pushed it forward with her nose, then took a half step back, opened her ears slightly, and looked at the people in the car with wet eyes.

Feeding humans?

Chu Yi stood beside her, his massive body slightly lowered, his long tusks reflecting the sunlight, but he didn't give any signal of aggression, he just stood there quietly.

There was a few seconds of silence on the bus, then a young woman whispered, "Is it bringing us food?"

The person next to them, having recovered a bit from their initial shock, said, "It looks so well-behaved and cute."

The guide slowly lowered his gun, looking at the two elephants that showed no intention of attacking. His expression changed from tense to puzzled: "I've worked on the grasslands for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen elephants offer grass to people on their own initiative."

Another tourist whispered, "Is it telling us it's good?"

Lan Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious. "It's a matter of reciprocity, don't you understand? I can already smell the bread and juice from your bags."

At first glance, I understood the little cutie's expression; it smiled indulgently.

When an elephant laughs, it's very obvious.

This seemingly intimidating bull elephant, with its gentle, smiling face, instantly won the hearts of many.

Lan Xiaoxiao also chimed in with a cute smile, playfully hooking her nose in greeting before opening her mouth.

The young woman leaned half her phone out of the car window and took a picture of Lan Xiaoxiao.

Finally, someone understood: "Does it want to be eaten?"

The others were taken aback, and then instinctively rummaged through their bags.

The guide quickly said, "These are wild animals, not from a zoo. They haven't come to the outskirts for ten years and have never asked humans for food. Nobody feeds them."

Zhang Wang, somewhere, sneezed violently.

Some people said, "I saw it all. You used beef to lure the lions over, and you yourselves were feeding wild animals."

Director: "That's because I'm afraid you won't see the lion and give me a bad review. Business is tough."

Chattering humans.

In the chaos, a child threw his bread out the window, and a thick elephant trunk immediately snatched it away.

The two elephants turned and walked away.

They don't want much, they just want to try a small bite.

Chu Yi took Lan Xiaoxiao with him and said, "Next time we meet Zhang Wang, let him bring us food without technology."

"Mmm-hmm." Lan Xiaoxiao stared at the bread on Chu Yi's nose.

The humans behind them were stunned. They really had come for food, and they were only asking for this much before leaving?

"Wow, that male elephant even used its trunk to feed the female elephant bread. It was such a gentle gesture."

"They're really in a relationship."

Two days later, a familiar jeep drove over from the camp and stopped at the edge of the bushes.

Zhang Wang jumped out of the car, took out several large watermelons from the trunk, cut them open, broke off pieces of flesh, placed them on the ground, and then walked away.

He shouted, and the sound travels very fast on the grassland.

Soon, the sound of thumping footsteps could be heard as two elephants galloped in, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lan Xiaoxiao ran over with Chu Yi, gave Zhang Wang a perfunctory nose twitch as a greeting, and then lowered her head to eat melon seeds in a daze, with juice dripping from the corners of her mouth.

Zhang Wang climbed onto the roof of the car and sat there, watching them.

"Haven't had watermelon in a long time, have you? I drove out this morning to buy some; it's very fresh."

"Bard found out I was feeding you and scolded me, saying that I was making you all very affectionate." Zhang Wang scratched the back of his head: "I really don't dare to feed other animals, I'm afraid they'll become affectionate with them, but I feel very safe feeding you, I'm not afraid."

This is why Zhang Wang brings them fruit three or four times a year.

Xiao Xiao and Chu Yi are very smart. Unlike other wild animals, they can distinguish between good and bad people and have their own sense of propriety.

You can't get close to them just by having a stranger come and hold a watermelon.

Lan Xiaoxiao looked up and patted Zhang Wang's shoulder with her trunk, a gesture of affirmation!

Don't listen to your boss, Bard. Next time we meet, bring some food!

On the vast grasslands, when they want to eat something rare, looking around is their only way.

The melon was all eaten, not even the rind was left.

Zhang Wang played with the two elephants for a while.

As dusk fell, Zhang Wang reluctantly left.

The next time we meet may be several months from now.

Lan Xiaoxiao stood under the tree, watching the car slowly disappear on the horizon. Chu Yi stood next to her, and the wind blew through the treetops, its nose gently touching Lan Xiaoxiao's ear.

"Eek!" Lan Xiaoxiao suddenly cried out.

The first-year student asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

"I forgot to tell him to bring some small bread next time!"
