Although Chiba City Zoo is called a large zoo, its actual size is not that big. Compared to its counterparts in Tokyo, Chiba Zoo's area is probably only half the size.
Despite its small size, the facilities are quite good; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to secure the opportunity to tour with the giant pandas.
The temporary panda exhibit is located next to the red panda exhibit. Although it hasn't opened yet, long queues have already formed at the entrance, clearly all there to see the pandas.
As the opening time approached, Lin Qianshu and Xue Zhizhi obediently lined up. However, they were in the fast lane, and only other tourists who had also bought VIP tickets could line up in front of them, which was very fair.
Just as the two of them arrived at the fast lane to queue under the guidance of the staff, Yukinoshita tugged at Hayashi Chiki's sleeve.
"Look over there."
Yukino pointed to a female tourist at the front of the line. Despite it being the middle of summer, she was dressed in formal attire usually reserved for banquets, and just looking at her made her seem very hot.
"That is..." Lin Qianshu felt that the other person's back looked familiar, especially that long, shiny black hair and tall, slender figure.
"Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka?"
"It must be her."
As they were talking, the woman, who appeared to be Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka, glanced down at her phone and then slammed her right hand hard against the iron railing beside her.
"Boom~"
You can tell how powerful the blow was just by the sound.
"It's definitely her," Lin Qianshu said with certainty.
In Lin Qianshu's understanding, only Hiratsuka Shizuka could unleash such a level of punching power among women.
"Should we go say hello?" Yukinoshita asked.
"I think Ms. Jing probably doesn't want to be seen by acquaintances right now."
"why?"
Of course, it's because of the negative emotions emanating from the other person that are almost tangible.
In Lin Qianshu's view, the resentment emanating from Hiratsuka Shizuka was so strong that even Sadako had to light a cigarette for her.
Did you notice the teacher's attire?
"You mean that outfit that looks like it's unbearably hot?"
Yukinoshita had obviously noticed Hiratsuka Shizuka's outfit, which was clearly out of season, but what did that have to do with her not wanting to be seen by acquaintances?
"Yes, normally you don't need to dress this formally to visit the zoo, right?"
"That's true, especially since it's Teacher Jing."
"Yes, that's Teacher Jing."
It wasn't that Lin Qianshu and Yukino Yukinoshita had any issues with Hiratsuka Shizuka; she was good-looking, had a great personality, and was a rare and excellent teacher.
However, at school, she usually only wears lab coats. It's not that she has bad taste in clothes, but it at least proves that she doesn't care much about her appearance.
But is it possible that such a person would dress so formally just to visit the zoo?
"So you made plans with someone? Like your boyfriend or something," Yukinoshita suggested.
A woman should look good to those who please her.
For Hiratsuka Shizuka, who is usually unkempt, to dress up specially, the person she was meeting must be very important to her.
Why would one assume that the person Hiratsuka-sensei wants to meet is of the opposite sex...?
That's because in this era of female competition, if you dress too beautifully when meeting someone of the same sex, you're very likely to be perceived as a provocation.
Yukinoshita understands this all too well, since she had never really dressed up before and girls would still feel inexplicable hostility towards her.
Judging others by one's own standards is an example of this.
"She must have made plans with someone, but it definitely wasn't her boyfriend."
Lin Qianshu said with certainty.
"What's the basis?"
Yukinoshita couldn't understand why Lin Qianshu was so certain.
"Generally, you would only dress so formally if you wanted to make a good impression on someone you were meeting for the first time. If it's your boyfriend, you should dress more casually to make him feel closer to you, like what you're wearing now."
"Indeed... wait, I didn't wear this outfit to get closer to you."
Yukino nodded subconsciously in agreement, then suddenly realized that Lin Qianshu's words had a hidden meaning.
Although she had indeed spent a long time choosing this outfit and had put on makeup before coming out, but... but... anyway, it definitely wasn't because of Lin Qianshu!
It's to see the giant pandas, that's right, the giant pandas.
"I'm just giving you an example."
Lin Qianshu glanced at Xue Zhixia, feigning ignorance.
"Why are you reacting so strongly? Besides, this outfit really suits you very well, you look beautiful."
Xuexia paused, feeling that Lin Qianshu was too cunning and she didn't know how to answer, so she could only change the subject and say, "The exhibition hall is open."
The exhibition hall was indeed open, and under the guidance of the on-site staff, the flow of people began to slowly move towards the giant panda pavilion.
Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was ahead of us in line, has already entered the exhibition hall and has temporarily disappeared.
Fortunately, it was soon Lin Qianshu and Xue Zhixia's turn in line. They showed their tickets to the staff, who marked them, and then the two entered the panda pavilion.
The ample air conditioning inside the exhibition hall eliminated the heat of waiting in line, and Yukinoshita's attention was quickly drawn to the black and white dumpling in the center.
She temporarily put everything about Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka out of her mind; now all she could see was the adorable giant panda Xiang Xiang, who was munching on bamboo in the center of the arena.
"Would you like me to take a photo with you?"
Photographer Lin Qianshu, with great insight, spoke up.
"please."
Yukino Yukinoshita's answer was serious and formal, as if she were making some kind of sacred request.
No, it's a delegation.
Lin Qianshu saw a gray exclamation mark appear above Xuexia's head.
real or fake?
Now we'll have to show our true skills.
Lin Qianshu's expression also became serious. Playing around is playing around, but he would not joke about using wish points.
Including Totsuka Saika's previous request, Lin Chishu is currently 6 attempts away from guaranteeing her next ability.
Not to mention that after the summer vacation begins, it will be much more difficult to obtain wish points than when you are in school, so every wish point is precious and needs to be cherished.
"Come a little closer to me, give me the bag first, look at Xiangxiang, half-squat... yes, squat down a little more, stay still, okay..."
Lin Qianshu professionally adjusted her pose in front of the camera while keeping an eye on the movements of the black and white ball of fluff in the room.
Xiangxiang, for the sake of being from the same hometown, please look closely at my... on camera.
Perhaps hearing Lin Qianshu's call, the giant panda Xiang Xiang actually looked in their direction, and in that instant!
With the click of the shutter, 20 photos were captured in less than a second.
"have a look."
Lin Qianshu handed over the camera, and just like a true man who never looks back at an explosion, a classic was born the moment he pressed the shutter.
Just so confident!
Yukino took the camera, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw the finished product.
In the photo, the girl and the panda seem to be echoing each other, their eyes meeting in a way that creates an indescribable sense of harmony. The photographer also cleverly used the shooting angle to avoid other tourists in the venue, making the picture look very clean and neat. It's the kind of photo that can catch the eye even without post-processing.
"Don't just watch, say your lines."
Lin Qianshu urged.
Yukino pursed her lips. Although she was reluctant to admit it, the quality of the photos taken by Lin Qianshu had indeed exceeded her expectations. Both the shooting technique and the composition were far superior to those taken at the cat and dog show.
Even if she were to take the photos herself, it would be difficult to guarantee that she could capture photos of this quality.
"Not bad."
"Is it just 'not bad'?"
"Very good, is that alright?"
Surprisingly, Yukino didn't argue with Lin Qianshu too much, readily acknowledging his skill and offering him some wish points.
This directly broke Lin Qianshu's record for the fastest completion of a wish-granting request.
Please type "Boss Xue is so generous" in the chat.
After carefully examining the photos, Yukinoshita suggested to Hayashi Chiki, "Would you like to take one too?"
"Sure," Lin Qianshu readily agreed, seizing the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.
"This is a rare opportunity, how about we take a group photo together?"
What's the point of filming just yourself? It's only meaningful when you film with someone else.
The nostalgic effect of a group photo is something that a solo photo can't replicate.
"It's possible, but how should we film it?" Yukino hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Although the digital camera in her hand could take time-lapse photos, the problem was that it didn't have a proper camera stand. Holding it in her hand made it difficult to control the composition and image, resulting in unsatisfactory quality of the final product.
Or could you ask a passerby to take a picture for you?
Just as Yukinoshita was pondering a solution, Lin Qianshu took out his phone and walked up to the girl, standing side by side with her.
"Look at the camera."
Subconsciously, Yukinoshita did as she was told.
"Click."
A sound different from that of an electronic shutter rang out, and the image was frozen in time.
When Yukinoshita came to her senses, she realized that the group photo had already been taken and sent to her phone via LINE by Lin Qianshu.
Because it was taken with a mobile phone, the resulting image is definitely not as good as that of a professional camera, but the quality of a photo is not solely determined by its pixel count.
Just like their group photo, it gives people a very natural feeling at first glance. Everything is so harmonious, as if the picture was meant to be like this, and it looks very comfortable.
Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time she has taken a photo alone with a man of the opposite sex who is not related to her by blood, right?
Yukino belatedly realized that she and Lin Qianshu were standing a little too close in the photo.
Their shoulders were almost touching, and the way he subconsciously looked at the camera, combined with the smile on Lin Qianshu's face, made it look like a guy suddenly taking a picture of his girlfriend who was caught off guard...
By some strange twist of fate, Yukino saved the picture.
"How is it?" Lin Qianshu leaned closer.
Yukino unconsciously took a half step back and covered her chest with her phone screen, seemingly not wanting Lin Qianshu to realize that she had saved the photo.
"W-what, how?"
"It's the photo I just sent you."
"not so good."
Because of Lin Qianshu's sneak attack, the person in the photo looks a bit dazed, not like their original self at all.
"Shall we take another one?"
"This time, follow my orders."
After saying that, Yukinoshita picked up her phone, wanting to replicate Lin Qianshu's actions, but since it was her first time using a phone to take a selfie, she took several pictures in a row, but none of them achieved a satisfactory result.
"Should I do it?"
"No." Yukinoshita shook her head, put away her phone, and quickly walked into the crowd with her camera.
Lin Qianshu was puzzled and was about to follow when she found that the other person had returned, and there was another person with her.
"Yukino, what are you doing here?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka never expected that when she came to the zoo to meet her blind date, she would run into her student. What's worse, her blind date stood her up!
"Don't worry about that, teacher. There's something I need your help with." Yukinoshita shoved the camera in her hand into Hiratsuka Shizuka's arms, then quickly walked over to Hayashi Chiki's side.
