Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

Yanming asked earnestly.

No...no.

But no one had ever treated her like this before, so this feeling... was very unfamiliar and strange.

But... it's not that I hate it.

in contrast.

My deep, unfathomable desire to be cared for was slightly...filled a little bit under this feeling.

Mu touched her hair, and after making sure it wasn't messy, she relaxed and spoke in a voice so soft it was almost unbelievable to her:

"Thank you for being able to see me like this..."

……

"Little Lamp, you seem a little distracted. What are you thinking about?"

Xiangzi caught the rice that almost fell onto the lamp skirt with a tissue and couldn't help but ask.

This is the third time the lamp has been distracted since it started. Although the lamp has often stared blankly at something in the past, the frequency has never been as high as today.

Deng snapped out of her daze, quickly averting her gaze, and said, "No, it's nothing..."

"Are you really okay? Don't push yourself."

Xiangzi looked the lamp up and down with concern, but found nothing wrong with it; it was just an ordinary small lamp.

However, the person who first suggested the team building activity at the zoo was surprisingly the least enthusiastic, which was the most odd thing about it.

Let her think about it... what could be the reason?

As Xiangzi pondered this in his mind, he looked around, trying to find the reason why Deng was so absent-minded.

Since it was already close to afternoon, there weren't many people left on the lawn, and there weren't any other noteworthy sights nearby.

Xiangzi scanned the area from left to right, but found nothing.

If it's not due to external factors... then could it be because of their own people?

Xiangzi belatedly looked in Yanming's direction...

"……Eh?"

She covered her mouth in surprise.

Xiao Muhe... Yanming?

Yes!

When did their relationship become so good?

That doesn't make sense. They've only met twice in total. Given Xiao Mu's shy personality, even if Yan Ming took the initiative to approach her, how could she chat and laugh with him like that?

Could it be a hypnosis app?!

No, how could such a thing exist in reality?

Taking a breath and shaking off this unrealistic idea, Xiangzi glanced at the lamp again, and sure enough, the lamp was looking in the same direction.

Now I understand.

Seeing two friends suddenly getting close, anyone would be curious.

Because she cares about it a lot.

Mu was avoiding Yanming before entering the park, but in just a short while, when she wasn't watching them, the two of them had already turned into this.

Xiangzi didn't dare to think about what would happen after a while!

I was here first... I forgot about the middle part, I forgot about the end, anyway—

Why are you guys so skilled at this? (Referring to chatting)

Xiangzi coughed twice, drawing the attention of the five people present, and then said, "Has everyone finished eating? It's getting late, and if you want to visit more places, we should set off now."

"I'm full, I can leave anytime."

Lixi picked up the trash beside her and put it into a trash bag, then stood up from the ground.

Nagasaki Motoyo noticed the slight stiffness in Shoko's words, but pretended not to notice and chimed in, "I've finished eating too. I saw on the road sign that this zoo is quite big, and there are some animals that I'm interested in."

Where's the little lamp?

"I...I'm full."

Yanming swallowed the last bite of pepper rice ball, patted his pants, and stood up from the ground: "I'm done eating too, let's go."

After saying that, he casually pulled Mu along.

It feels incredibly light, much lighter than Xiao Xiang, like it's filled with cotton.

Then, he and Shiina Tatsuki quickly cleaned up the scene and restored the lawn to its state before they arrived.

During this time, he couldn't help but gain some new insights into this black-haired girl whom he hadn't known much before.

It seems... this Shiina Tatsuki is the one in Crychic who is most like a parent?

After throwing the trash bag into the trash can, Yanming washed his hands with the tap next to him and turned around to say, "Thank you for your hard work, Shiina-kun."

"It's nothing, didn't you do it too? Let's hurry back to find them, don't keep Deng waiting."

Lixi didn't think cleaning was anything special; anyone could do it.

"it is good."

……

As afternoon approached, the sun in the sky was no longer so dazzling and scorching.

This time of year is perfect for traveling.

"Oh! Lamp, look over there, what a huge rat! It looks like it might bite someone!"

"That's... a capybara. It's very docile and has a stable temperament. It likes to eat fruit... It shouldn't bite you, Xiao Xiang."

Gao Songdeng, a walking encyclopedia of animals, is a biology teacher's darling.

"Hmm...he looks a bit like Xiao Mu. Yanming, Yanming, can you take a picture of the three of us?"

Xiangzi grabbed Yanming's arm and said coquettishly.

"How is it similar?"

Yanming suspiciously compared the capybaras soaking in the pool with Mumu, and finally came to a conclusion.

It doesn't resemble it at all.

Mutsu is only calm on the surface; her inner world is quite rich, completely different from the capybara's consistent and Buddhist-like demeanor.

Therefore, Mu is not a member of the capybara group; on the contrary, she might appear on their menu.

It's a cucumber fairy.

Thinking this, Yanming still raised his phone and told them to get into position: "Xiaodeng, look at the camera, and Xiaoxiang, move to the side a little, you're blocking all the capybaras behind you."

"Three, two, one"

"Click."

In the last second before the shutter was pressed, a large capybara seemed to sense something and raised its head from the water, its dark eyes looking at the flash of light on the shore, which happened to be in front of the camera.

"Yanming, it's looking at you too!"

Xiangzi looked at the photos on his phone and exclaimed in surprise.

However, Xiangzi didn't realize that, in fact, the capybara wasn't the only one looking at Yanming in the shot.

Chapter 110 Su Shi also wants to become human.

……

Shiina Tatsuki crossed her arms, looking at the little gadget in front of her with some disdain: "A little panda...is that all?"

Only the ears are somewhat similar; otherwise, from the color scheme to the size and the habits, how does this little thing in front of me have anything to do with a panda?

A guy who's good for nothing but being cute.

disappointing.

"Tsk, it's not a panda."

Seemingly sensing that it was being looked down upon, the little panda being stared at by Lixi immediately pawed at the glass and stood upright, emitting a strange, high-pitched cry: "Squeak—squeak—"

"Huh? What are you yelling for? Did I say something wrong?"

Yanming patted Deng on the shoulder: "Little Deng, what is this little panda saying?"

The latter was startled and shuddered.

Before Deng could speak, Xiangzi stepped forward and scolded, "Yanming, don't make things difficult for Xiaodeng. How could a person understand an animal..."

She was interrupted by the light halfway through her sentence:

"Mr. Little Panda said that Lixi is... a domesticated Alaskan Malamute who only bullies the weak and fears the strong."

Xiangzi's expression instantly changed to one of utter disbelief: "Wait, how did I understand that..."

"Huh? You dare to use Deng's mouth to insult me? If you've got the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one!"

"Squeak! Squeak—"

"The worst!"

The person and the animal communicated amicably without any language barrier, and there was no need for a translator.

Xiangzi stared in disbelief, momentarily forgetting to intervene: "Really? Am I the only one who finds this strange?"

"...Huh? Am I... weird?"

The lamp seemed to have been hit hard, and its mood became somewhat depressed.

Seeing this, Xiangzi immediately panicked and began to try to salvage the situation: "I wasn't talking about Xiaodeng! Xiaodeng, you're not strange at all! It's perfectly normal for humans to understand red pandas!"

"Well……"

Seeing that his words had no effect, Xiangzi immediately turned around and looked at Yanming with pleading eyes.

The latter shrugged, indicating that he was also unable to help.

"Ah..."

Xiangzi covered his head.

...Yes!

"Little Lamp, what's that thing over there that looks like a red panda? Is it a relative of the red panda? It looks so cute!"

At this moment, Xiangzi was praising himself for his cleverness.

The single-threaded light immediately banished her gloom, and she diligently began her explanation: "Over there...that's a raccoon. Although they look very similar to red pandas, they are different species and live in different environments. The most obvious difference is that raccoons have claws..."

"call--"

Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief and added, "So that's how it is. Deng really knows a lot."

Meanwhile, the real manly battle between Shiina Tatsuki and the little panda has reached a fever pitch.

If it weren't for the transparent glass separating them, the two of them would probably have pounced on each other long ago.

However, usually at this point, a peacemaker should step in to mediate the dispute.

What about Su Shi? What is Su Shi doing?

Check the status of Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Coo, coo—"

Su Shi looked at a tree branch in the garden, or rather, stared at an owl hidden in the bushes.

She couldn't tell exactly what kind of owl it was, but she did have a fondness for such animals.

Foxes are generally considered to be among the most cunning animals in the world, while owls symbolize wisdom and wit.
