People are not vegetation, how can they be heartless?
After 20 years of companionship, Chen Qingyuan had developed a deep bond with Old Spots, so when it passed away, Chen Qingyuan was heartbroken and even fainted at one point.
He felt pain not only for the death of Old Spots but also for the last Giant Turtle snake in the world.
The whole world!
The very last Giant Turtle snake!
Completely extinct on Earth!
That's why these days, Chen Qingyuan had always been staring at the pond where "Old Spots" had lived, heaving long sighs and lamenting.
"The old dean brought you out. He intended to find you a mate, to let you start a family, to propagate your own offspring, who could have thought... Alas!"
Today, Chen Qingyuan came to the pond again, sat on the stone bench where he used to feed Old Spots, sighed for a while, and then returned to the lab, ready to start today's work.
