章節 121: Chapter 687: Red Pandas Frolicking and Silly Deer
The wedding venue was no problem; it was, of course, going to be held at the zoo!
Lan Li's mother asked, "When do you plan to get married?"
There's no fixed time frame for getting married after the engagement, as long as it's within a year.
Fang Ye and Lan Li exchanged a glance. Fang Ye said, "We're thinking of next spring! The cherry blossoms in the zoo will be blooming in March, and we can take some beautiful wedding photos."
"Alright, we'll pick a good day when we get back."
With the intention set, the time and place were decided, and there was nothing more to discuss for the engagement banquet!
They continued to chat happily.
...
Afterward, Fang Ye and Lan Li acted as tour guides, showing their parents around the zoo.
Linhai Zoo is now much more famous than before. Some fans who usually watch Fang Ye's live broadcasts have long wanted to visit the zoo.
Some netizens saw funny GIFs of red pandas raising their hands or pandas standing with their paws on their hips circulating online. They learned about Linhai Zoo through various channels, including Twitter, and became curious, making a special trip during the National Day holiday.
Now, during the National Day holiday, the zoo was bustling. White pigeons flew around the square, and visitors were coming in an endless stream!
Lan Li's parents weren't particularly interested in the zoo; they had seen photos Lan Li had sent and heard her stories about work and the various cute animals, which was like visiting the zoo themselves.
Fang Ye's parents had visited the zoo last National Day, and the zoo had undergone many changes since then, with new exhibits and significant developments.
Today's visit was a rare occasion, and they found everything fresh and exciting.
Fang Ye's mother turned her head from side to side, curiously observing the bustling crowd and noticing many blond, blue-eyed foreigners: "Wow, your zoo is doing well, even attracting foreigners!"
Fang Ye laughed, "Yes, we've gained some popularity on Twitter recently and have become somewhat famous abroad."
Today, he was dressed in casual clothes instead of his usual zoo director's uniform, making him look quite different from his usual image.
However, he was so handsome that he naturally attracted attention, and people who recognized him were excited and waved at him.
"Hi, Grand Druid!"
"Hello, Director Fang! Can we take a photo with you?"
Bringing a bit of joy to visitors, Fang Ye usually wouldn't refuse such requests.
But today was different. Fang Ye smiled and waved, politely declining: "Sorry, I'm with my parents today! Enjoy your visit!"
The red panda exhibit was undoubtedly the most popular exhibit during the National Day holiday!
This was because two adorable red panda cubs, just a few months old, were making their official debut.
At the moment, Hongdou (Red Bean) was by the bushes, licking its fur and paws, meticulously grooming itself.
Hongtang (Brown Sugar), who had already been active for a while, was now a bit tired. It lay beside Hongdou, curled up into an adorable ball, its face buried in its tail, only its white ears visible.
The golden sunlight shone on its body, and the cub's fluffiness made it look like a plush toy filled with cotton.
Lizi (Chestnut) was playing with Shanzha (Hawthorn).
Shanzha wagged its fluffy tail, its short, round body bouncing around energetically.
It charged at Lizi, aiming its head at Lizi's rear.
Before Shanzha could make contact, Lizi rolled over onto the ground, exposing its black belly.
Shanzha tumbled into its embrace, and the two adorable creatures rolled into a ball.
Lizi hugged Shanzha's head, gently rubbing it, then stood up and raised its paws in a threatening pose, like a fierce dinosaur.
"Roar! Scared you!"
It bent down, lightly patted Shanzha's head, then jumped back to the ground and ran off lightly.
Shanzha, pushed to the ground, lay on its side, staring blankly at its father's retreating figure. It stood up and wobbled after him.
Watching the heartwarming play between father and son, the visitors were all charmed!
"The cub is so lively!"
"Oops, a rear-end collision!"
"The parent is quite gentle with the child!"
A few Japanese tourists pressed their faces against the glass wall, their eyes sparkling, repeatedly exclaiming "kawaii" (cute)!
Lan Li's mother watched the red panda cubs play and couldn't help but smile: "Are these red pandas? The cubs are so adorable!"
She quietly asked Lan Li, "By the way, when do you plan to have a child?"
Lan Li's face turned red with embarrassment: "Mom~"
She wasn't mentally prepared to be a mother yet.
But thinking about it, having a baby with Fang Ye wouldn't be bad!
Then she could hold the adorable baby like a red panda cub, pat its head, and give it kisses.
The whole family could lie on the grass, basking in the sun. She and Fang Ye on either side, with the child in the middle, watching the clouds drift by.
She couldn't help but glance at Fang Ye, who, as if reading her mind, turned to her and smiled.
During the National Day holiday, besides the red panda cubs, the new exhibit featured silly deer!
The rock sheep had moved to the plateau exhibit, leaving only the deer and sika deer in the mixed exhibit area.
The mountain backdrop had been newly arranged with lush green grass, moss, and ferns spreading their fresh green leaves. A waterfall cascaded down the rocks, flowing into a central lake.
A few deer were scattered on the grassy shore of the lake.
"Whoo—"
In the distance, the high-pitched call of an elephant echoed, sounding like a train whistle.
No need to guess; it was Meiling, the only one who made such a high-pitched call when excited.
A deer, hearing the call, turned its head towards the elephant exhibit.
Suddenly, it started bouncing!
Deer bouncing is quite amusing, with their four hooves seemingly fixed in parallel by wooden boards.
When they land on the grass, their legs stretch straight, hooves kicking back! Then they bend their legs, stretching forward.
Jumping up and down, they give off a carefree, joyful vibe!
Not only do their four hooves move in unison, but each jump maintains the same rhythm.
Bouncing past its companions, who looked at it, puzzled by its behavior.
But due to their herd instinct, they quickly took a few steps, trying to keep up.
Soon, they were bouncing forward together!
The sika deer, having never seen such a scene, stopped chewing their grass and stared blankly at the bouncing deer.
The visitors couldn't stop laughing: "Hahaha, this is hilarious!"
"These deer look so happy!"
"Their movements are quite synchronized!"
Fang Ye's mom laughed too: "So these are silly deer; they do look quite silly!"
Fang Ye's dad said, "Their butts are quite cute, with a white patch."
Fang Ye laughed, "The white patch on a deer's butt is quite distinctive. It's generally believed that when they sense danger, they shake their bright rump patches to warn their companions, signaling everyone to run. The bright rump patches act like taillights, helping maintain the group's formation and preventing young ones from getting lost."
