章 190: Chapter 756: Years Later
The issue of stray cats ultimately boils down to human responsibility.
Without abandonment and indiscriminate feeding, there wouldn't be so many stray cats.
Human-caused problems lead to animals becoming victims, even earning them a bad reputation.
The macaques of Mount Emei, raccoons, and bats all lament: it's really tough!
After touring the urban wildlife exhibit, Fang Ye bid farewell to the viewers and ended the live stream for the day.
...
Back at home.
Fang Ye lay on the sofa, scrolling through the news on his phone.
At this moment, Lan Li sat beside him, tapped his shoulder, and uncertainly said, "Honey, take a look at this."
Fang Ye looked at the blue and white stick in her hand, showing two lines. He blinked twice, his mouth slowly opening in astonishment, and in a voice even softer than hers, he asked, "Is this... are we having a baby?"
Lan Li replied, "Yes, it seems like we are..."
After seeing so many animals become parents in the zoo, it was now their turn!
Fang Ye was stunned for a moment, then let out a silly laugh and hugged Lan Li tightly.
...
A few years later.
The brilliant summer sunlight shone on the beautiful flower garden in the backyard.
Butterflies danced among the flowers, collecting nectar, white-headed bulbuls sang at the treetops, and the sound of cicadas filled the air.
Lan Li, holding a fairy tale book, read aloud: "On a beautiful summer day, a group of ducks waddled adorably across the green pasture..."
Her smooth, black hair fell over her shoulders, and her gentle eyes gave her a mature, motherly look.
Sitting on her lap was a chubby little girl of about three or four, listening intently to the story.
Just then, Fang Ye entered the backyard. The little girl, upon seeing him, jumped off Lan Li's lap and excitedly shouted, "Dad! You're back~"
She ran to Fang Ye, who scooped her up and kissed her cheek with a smile, "How was it? Were you good at home with Mommy?"
"Yi Yi was very good!"
Fang Ye's daughter, nicknamed Yi Yi, had a chubby, round face that was very cute, resembling him when he was young, with eyes like Lan Li's.
When she first started talking, the words she learned were, of course, "Daddy, Mommy."
As a baby, she was often carried around the zoo to see animals, and naturally, the first words she mastered were related to animals.
After "Daddy, Mommy," she learned to say "tiger, panda, elephant, hippo."
Growing up with Fang Ye, Yi Yi loved playing with animals and wasn't afraid of fierce beasts like tigers and lions, showing a bit of a young druid's demeanor.
The animals, respecting Fang Ye, were also willing to be close to Yi Yi, making her the little princess of the zoo, adored by all.
Yi Yi kissed Fang Ye back and pleaded, "Dad, I want to play with the little tigers!"
Fang Ye laughed, "Alright, let's go!"
"Wait!"
Yi Yi opened a drawer, picked through her animal hair clips, and finally chose a fox ear clip, happily putting it on her head, "All set!"
Fang Ye enthusiastically said, "Great, I'll wear a tiger ear clip."
He picked a panda ear clip for Lan Li, "You wear one too."
Lan Li laughed, "So childish!"
Though she said that, she still put on the clip.
With Yi Yi on his shoulders, they headed to the tiger exhibit.
After Bing Gao turned two, they separated him from Jiao Jiao and built a new Bengal Tiger exhibit.
They found Jiao Jiao a boyfriend, and in the past few years, she had given birth to two litters.
The cubs from the first litter had grown up and gone to other zoos, and this year, she had another litter.
Finding a boyfriend for Jiao Jiao was quite an interesting affair. Fang Ye requested photos of suitable male tigers from other zoos.
He showed Jiao Jiao each tiger, seeing which one she liked, just like a matchmaking session.
Finally, they chose a tiger that Jiao Jiao seemed interested in.
The family, wearing animal ear clips, walked through the zoo, attracting a lot of attention.
Visitors greeted Yi Yi warmly, "Little princess, out for a walk?"
Watching them leave, people sighed, "Human babies are cute too!"
"I remember the first time I saw the little princess. She was just a baby then, being held by the director on the Pride Rock in the lion exhibit, with a song playing for her coronation. It was so fun."
"If I had a zoo, I'd do the same with my kids, giving them happy memories for life."
At the tiger exhibit, the male tiger was lounging on a perch, basking in the sun.
Unlike Bing Gao, who grew up with Jiao Jiao and was very attached to her, the male tiger needed his own space as an adult.
Occasionally, he would rest and nuzzle Jiao Jiao, but most of the time, he lounged alone.
Jiao Jiao and her cubs were lying in front of the crescent-shaped pond.
Seeing Fang Ye and Yi Yi approaching, Jiao Jiao's amber eyes gave a friendly look, and she flicked her tail.
Fang Ye petted Jiao Jiao's nose and smiled, "Jiao Jiao, how's it going with the kids? Is it tough?"
Jiao Jiao snorted, as if to say, "What about you?"
Man and tiger exchanged parenting tips!
Yi Yi eagerly squatted in front of the tiger cubs, mimicking Fang Ye, reaching out to pet a cub's head.
The fluffy tiger cub, looking like a tiger cake, seemed a bit scared as Yi Yi reached out, baring its teeth and trying to intimidate her.
Though Yi Yi had visited a few times, the cubs hadn't fully accepted her yet.
Seeing this, Fang Ye picked up the cub and used a calming skill.
He kissed the cub's cheek and gently scratched its belly, "Don't be so grumpy, be happy~"
The cub, slightly bewildered by Fang Ye's affectionate kiss, felt inexplicably relaxed, less tense.
Fang Ye instructed, "Yi Yi, when petting the cubs, move slowly, or you might scare them. Greet them first."
Yi Yi earnestly said, "Hello, little tiger!"
Just then, the male tiger jumped down from the perch.
Lowering its body, it sneakily approached, preparing to pounce.
It didn't intend to harm Fang Ye, just its hunting instincts kicking in upon seeing Fang Ye's back.
Like a student seeing a computer, unable to resist playing games, even if it's just Solitaire.
Jiao Jiao perked up her ears, hearing the rustling in the grass.
She turned and saw the sneaky male tiger, her eyes flashing coldly, and she pounced fiercely.
She gave the male tiger a hard slap!
What are you doing? How dare you sneak up on the director!
The male tiger, head lowered, looked aggrieved, "Wife, don't hit! I was just playing!"
Playing or not, no playing allowed!
The male tiger bolted away, and Jiao Jiao lay back down.
Lan Li smiled and took a photo of Yi Yi petting the cub.
In the sunlight, Fang Ye hugged Jiao Jiao's neck, while Yi Yi petted the cub, creating a warm and healing scene.
Life at the zoo continued.
