"Sharing...? Can you live a long time?" Su Zhou had never thought about this question before, and her choice to be with Xie Chi was simply following her instincts. Because she liked him, she chose to be with him.

As for human aging, vicissitudes, and death, these were not within her considerations.

She slightly raised her eyes and looked at Xie Chi.

Despite the passage of time, the young man still looks young, appearing to be only in his early twenties, forever radiating youthful vitality.

Su Zhou wondered what would happen if Xie Chi was still young when she got old. But then she thought, whatever, life is just a fleeting existence, so she should just live in the moment.

If a long life is just a fleeting thing for Xie Chi, there's no guarantee that he won't fall for someone else in the future. Having Xie Chi as he is now is already very good.

Xie Chi nodded: "So, I've been trying recently, and once the ritual is completed, I can share your lifespan."

"Will it require the use of bloodlines? Will it cause any harm to your body?" More than immortality, Su Zhou was concerned about Xie Chi's health.

"No." Xie Chi's lips curled up slightly.

Su Zhou's heart sank into her stomach. She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "It's alright, as long as it doesn't harm your body. I was afraid it might really cause problems for your health. In that case, think about it slowly, there's no need to rush."

Ahei has been acting very emo lately, probably because he wants to find a wife to keep him company.

Because Ahei is now very intelligent, it cannot be simply described as a chimpanzee. Su Zhou has no intention of breeding it and plans to let Ahei mate freely to see if there are any chimpanzees that it likes.

For this matter, Su Zhou directly contacted the National Wildlife Park, which currently has the largest population of chimpanzees. Ahei's reputation has soared, so naturally, they had no reason to refuse. However, Ahei's intelligence was simply too extraordinary, and their condition was that if Ahei were to have a relationship with a female chimpanzee and give birth to a baby chimpanzee, one of the offspring would have to be sent to them.

Su Zhou agreed immediately.

Su Zhou went to great lengths to plan Ah Hei's important life event.

Ahei sat in the passenger seat. This wasn't the first time Ahei had left the chimpanzee enclosure. Because of its popularity, Ahei had relatively more freedom in the zoo, and Su Zhou didn't restrict its movements too much.

His hands, covered in fuzzy black hair, deftly fastened his seatbelt, and his light brown eyes naturally glanced at the rearview mirror.

Sometimes, when Su Zhou stared into Ahei's eyes for a while, she really felt like she was facing a very wise person, not a chimpanzee. But Ahei's rugged appearance just right neutralized this uncanny valley effect.

The National Wildlife Park is also located in Beijing. It covers a large area and attracts many tourists every year.

Su Zhou closed the car door and inserted the key. "Ahei, we're going to pick out a girlfriend for you now. If you find one you like, just tell me, okay?"

After all, she is a human, not a chimpanzee, and doesn't know what Ahei considers an attractive chimpanzee to be. This important life event is up to Ahei herself.

Ahei nodded and placed his hands on his legs.

The streets were bustling with passing vehicles in the height of summer, their windows tightly shut. It was Ahei's first time leaving the Wanling Zoo; he looked around curiously, observing the world with wide eyes.

"Aren't you nervous?" Su Zhou teased, looking at Ah Hei's curious expression.

She and Xie Chi had never dated before, but two of her roommates were dating. One was dating a guy from the same school but a different major, and the other was dating a handsome guy from a neighboring school who seemed like a top student. Both of those guys would dress up especially for each other when they saw their girlfriends.

This is also true in nature; in most cases, male animals have more vibrant colors, fur, and feathers.

Then look at Ahei... covered in rough black fur.

Okay.

[I'm nervous... Why wouldn't I be nervous? It's my first blind date, who wouldn't be nervous? Don't humans get nervous on blind dates? But what's the use of being nervous?]

My destiny isn't about looks... My knowledge, my abilities, and my charismatic personality are far more valuable.

Ahei's inner thoughts revealed his nervousness, but despite his nervousness, he immediately started grooming his fur with his fingers while looking in the rearview mirror. One of the side effects of watching too many human movies was that Ahei styled his fur in a side part; the hairstyle only enhanced his appearance, it didn't actually change his look.

It depends on the modeling.

It's obvious that Ahei's model is just average.

Su Zhou couldn't help but smile as she watched Ahei's careful movements.

Although Ahei says he doesn't mind, he still cares a lot about his image in practice.

Fortunately, the traffic wasn't too bad today, and it only took about an hour or two to drive to the National Wildlife Park. We took the internal passage, and many of the park's staff had heard of Ahei's reputation, and they all had the same question in their minds...

Are those internet-famous chimpanzees really that smart?

Didn't those videos have scripts and editing?

Many pet bloggers have done this trick. Those cats and dogs that seem so smart they're almost supernatural are often edited together in post-production. Various clips are spliced ​​together with added voiceovers for viewers to enjoy. These online pet bloggers' full-time job is to make these videos for their audience.

Surprisingly, African chimpanzees also managed to squeeze into this track.

As soon as he entered, Ahei stretched out his hands and imitated the way humans shake hands, a behavior that surprised many people.

This humane gesture was probably something Ahei learned from tourists; Su Zhou was already used to it, but the impact was still significant for those who hadn't yet visited the Wanling Zoo.

"Director Su, is this Ahei from your zoo? He's so smart! Isn't it just a staff member hiding in a suit?" someone said, still observing Ahei, trying to see through whether Ahei was actually a person in disguise.

Many people have asked this question online.

Su Zhou answered patiently, "Haha, it's not a suit. You can touch Ahei and you'll know. It's definitely not. It's a real chimpanzee."

What is fake can never become real, and what is real can never become fake.

Everyone was just speculating in good faith. When they saw Su Zhou and Ah Hei arrive at the wildlife park, they immediately took the person and the gorilla to the chimpanzee area.

The National Wildlife Park truly lives up to its reputation as the place with the largest number of wild chimpanzees in China; as far as the eye can see, there are almost only chimpanzees.

The spectacular scene made Su Zhou open her mouth wide: "Wow, that's spectacular."

"These are our female orangutans. Let Ahei take a look and see if any of them catch his eye," the head of the National Wildlife Park said with a generous smile.
