Chapter 167 I Must Return to the Grassland

There are more than 30 parks in Haicheng Zoo. Although it is not possible to visit all the parks in one afternoon, it is not possible to visit only two parks.

Si Ran glanced at the smiling Lu Zhen and said, "Director Lu, I won't delay your work for the next few days. I'm here to learn from you. My companions and I will just explore on our own for the next two days. After all, time is tight, so we want to see as much as possible. Isn't that right?"

Lu Zhen always had a smile on his face.

The smile on his face did not fade after hearing this, and he readily agreed: "If you want to visit by yourself, I will definitely support you. If you have any needs in the next few days, just let us know in time."

Si Ran looked at Lu Zhen's face and always felt a little uncomfortable.

But the other party didn't offend her, so she couldn't show any displeasure and could only nod slightly.

Back in the room, Si Ran took out a map of the zoo and began to analyze with Song Zhi how to visit all the animals in the zoo in the next two days.

Although Lu Zhen made her feel strange, she had to admit that there were indeed many things worth learning about Haicheng Zoo.

Bang bang bang!

There was another knock on the door.

The next second, Yuebao's voice came from outside the door: "Ranran, Ranran, are you there? I'm here to see you again~"

Si Ran and Song Zhi were stunned and looked at each other, with helplessness in their eyes.

If nothing unexpected happens, Yuebao will sneak out again.

Si Ran walked to the door and opened it.

Yuebao walked in on all fours on her cushioned limbs, then quickly found the bed where Si Ran's scent was and lay down on it obediently.

It stared straight at Si Ran, its eyes full of anticipation: "Ran Ran, the breeder gave me a bath today. I smell good and I didn't roll around on the ground. Let me sleep with you tonight. I'll protect you at night!"

After saying that, Yuebao got directly into Si Ran's quilt, then fiddled with it for a while, and then walked to the edge of the bed, sticking out his furry head, "The zoo is super scary at night, I really can protect you."

Si Ran picked up the red panda from the bed.

She didn't know what the red panda meant, but she said, "Your keeper will be very worried if you sneak out."

When Yuebao heard the word "keeper", she shuddered and then lowered her voice and complained, "She won't be anxious."

If it weren't for Ranran today, it would have been beaten to death in the past.

Yuebao said aggrievedly: "I didn't run out on purpose, I was just too hungry."

"Hungry?"

Si Ran looked at Yuebao's chubby body and couldn't see any signs of hunger on this little guy.

"I wouldn't lie to you." Yuebao said angrily, "The food the keeper gave me is so disgusting. I don't like it at all. We red pandas should eat big, sweet, and crispy apples, and the biscuits that Ranran gave us today!"

What the breeder gave me was totally inedible.

The red panda didn't notice Si Ran's frown and continued to talk to himself, "Mom says I'm too picky about food, but I don't like eating those wet and choking food at all. So I can only sneak out to work by acting cute."

It's a pity that few people stay in this hotel.

As long as someone comes, they just need to act cute and let humans kiss, hug and hold them high, and they can get delicious food that they have never eaten before.

Listening to the little panda's mumbling, Si Ran's brows became more and more furrowed.

Seeing that the red panda was silent, Si Ran continued to ask: "You mean you rarely get to eat fruit? What about other animals?"

"I don't know." The red panda shook his head. "I haven't seen any other small animals. I've been here since I was born."

Seeing that there was no more information, Si Ran had to send a message to the hotel staff to let them know that the red panda was here.

The little panda wanted to sleep with her, and Si Ran finally satisfied it.

Before going to bed, Si Ran asked the hotel staff to bring her peeled apples, which the little panda ate in just a few bites.

The red panda sleeps very soundly. Si Ran and Song Zhi had just come out of the shower and it was getting dark, but the red panda was already lying on the bed with its arms and legs spread out, snoring soundly. Under the yellow hair on its belly was pink and tender skin.

Si Ran unconsciously recalled the sentence "Cats are very alert when they are asleep."

Now listening to the red panda's snoring, Si Ran couldn't help but laugh.

The next day, Si Ran sent the sleeping red panda back home before the park opened.

The breeder was angry but dared not say anything.

Yuebao seemed to sense that Si Ran was very prestigious, and was a little timid at first. But when he saw that the keeper was even more timid than him, he immediately walked into the park with a haughty attitude, and then said goodbye to Si Ran.

"Ranran, I'll sleep with you tonight."

Si Ran patted Yue Bao's head: "I think you want to eat apples."

Yuebao's eyes suddenly widened.

I didn’t expect humans to be so smart, it clearly didn’t say anything!!!

Under Yuebao's surprised eyes, Si Ran left the red panda park and began the inspection work according to the route planned yesterday.

Unlike ordinary tourists, Si Ran and others can enter the park.

When Si Ran came for the exchange inspection, everyone was already inside the Haicheng Zoo, so as long as he went in to inspect, no staff would stop him.

So, some tourists who were originally next to Si Ran watched the two girls say something to the zoo staff, and then the staff opened the door for Si Ran and Song Zhi.

Then, the tourists saw Si Ran touching the tiger's head very skillfully, asking the hippo to open its mouth to check its teeth, and even making the cheetah purr like a cat.

Tourist: ???

"Keeper, what's going on? Why can we, the tourists, touch the furry animals but we can't?"

"Yeah, do you have any hidden services? I have money, I want to touch it too!"

Two of the bald men wearing thick gold chains couldn't stand still when they saw that Si Ran could actually pet a cheetah!

They are jealous and envious!

The jaguar looks so majestic, but I didn’t expect it to have such a cute side.

The staff didn't expect there would be a commotion over this incident.

The corner of his mouth twitched. He looked at the cheetah that was obediently following a kitten and said with a forced smile, "Brother, this American cheetah was rescued and bought by our director last week. Until now, no keeper has dared to approach it."

"Bullshit!" The bald man said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Look at it, isn't it just an enlarged kitten? Could it be that it prefers beautiful women over handsome guys like us?"

Staff: “…”

The staff was helpless.

"Brother, do you think everyone is Si Ran? The two inside are animal experts from City A. They are here to inspect the work and exchange ideas. There really is no hidden service."

If there were any hidden services, the director would have launched them with great fanfare. Why would he wait until now?

The two bald brothers were half-believing and half-doubting, and could only watch Si Ran stroking the jaguar with their eyes full of longing.

Si Ran in the glass house couldn't hear what was happening outside.

She had never seen a live cheetah in her life, so she couldn't help but come and take a look.

The cheetah in her hand is an adult three-year-old female cheetah named Sarah. She may have been rescued not long ago, so she is very thin, but has a very gentle personality.

But perhaps because she had just been rescued, Sarah's condition was a little bad. The wound on her back was a little festering. According to Sarah, one of her eyes had become blind due to the injury, and her ribs could even be clearly seen in her abdomen.

Too thin!

"Sarah, you should eat more. You are too thin." Si Ran's face was full of heartache, and he asked the breeder to bring Sarah's food.

Sarah pressed her warm body against Si Ran's legs, her face full of disgust: "Humph, you might as well just die!"

Just at this moment, the breeder came in with three plucked chickens. Sarah's nose was very sensitive, and she knocked the breeder down like a flash of lightning.

The breeder was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and screamed.

However, Sarah looked straight at him with her dark eyes, opened her mouth, grabbed the three plucked chickens, and ate them in no time.

Finally her stomach was full, Sarah burped towards Si Ran: "Thank you, human, for finally letting me eat meat today."

Si Ran felt something was wrong when he heard it.

She sent the breeder away and asked quietly, "Sarah, haven't you eaten any meat in the days since you came here?"

Unexpectedly, Sara roared softly, her voice full of sarcasm: "Humans love hypocrisy the most. They brought me here from the grassland just to make money, and they feed me rice bran every day!"

Then, Sarah's words finally answered the mystery in Si Ran's heart.

"All the animals in the zoo were kidnapped and are fat because they eat pig feed."

"The day before yesterday, I heard that hypocritical human making a phone call, saying someone from higher up was going to inspect the zoo and told the zookeepers to switch the pig feed to meat and then switch back after the inspection was over."

Cheetah suddenly looked up, and his brown eyes looked at Si Ran, his eyes full of pleading: "I can see that you have no ill will towards us, on the contrary you care about us very much."

"So can I ask you to send me back? My child is still on the grassland. I have to go back!"
