Throughout the night, Ahei patiently changed painting locations repeatedly. In other zoos, this might have been questioned as to whether it was just a person in a costume. However, those who frequently visit the zoo know that Ahei's presence was a turning point in the zoo's rise to prominence, which is why many people gathered around to watch Ahei paint.
The brushstrokes are delicate, yet they evoke the image of countless lights shining brightly in every home.
Even family members who are constantly arguing and bickering can put aside their differences and enjoy a festive feast together at this time.
Ahei didn't give away many of his paintings. Instead, everyone who received a painting from the mysterious chimpanzee posted it online, becoming the envy of others.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Many people in the zoo's fan group were on edge, and even though it was almost 11 p.m., there were still 99+ messages every minute.
【Try touching me again: Ahhh, I've been waiting for Ah Hei for so long, but he just won't give it to me. Anyone who's gotten it, could you DM me? I'm willing to pay for it.】
[I'm crouching under the turret: Me neither. I've been watching Ah Hei for a long time, and judging by my observation, he's probably sent out no more than ten paintings since he started drawing. You know, the zoo is packed with people today, even more at night than during the day. Whatever, I'll just crouch here too.]
[Please call me a broken record: The principal's move was brilliant; this kind of event directly turned Ahei into a male celebrity, just like my girlfriend's photobook.]
[Strawberry Sweet Candy: Actually... besides Ah Hei's place, the other animals' shows tonight are also very interesting. I'm currently watching the midnight program; I heard the parrots will be singing songs in eight languages.]
…
Su Zhou was so busy that she didn't even have time to check her phone.
Ever since she customized the zoo's program for the Lantern Festival, she's been thinking about how to get the parrots to sing a whole song. Parrots, these adorable little birds, are incredibly popular online, ranking among the most popular small animals besides cats, dogs, and mice.
She had seen videos of parrots that could recite a complete seven-character quatrain, and some parrots were even more impressive, able to mimic the sounds of different mobile phone alarms.
The parrots in the zoo were bought from a pet market to fill out the quota. The vast majority of them are the most common types of parrots, such as budgerigars, cockatiels, and lovebirds. They were inexpensive and mostly young birds. However, even the most ordinary bird becomes extraordinary with the right attribute bonuses.
To ensure the parrots would perform flawlessly on the Lantern Festival, Su Zhou contacted her classmates at her alma mater as soon as the program was confirmed to include the parrots.
As everyone knows, a considerable number of students at their school are art students who got in through their special talents, but their academic scores are also extremely high. Su Zhou contacted the students in the music club and asked them to come to the zoo these few days to teach these parrots to sing.
The humid air is filled with the rich fragrance of grass and trees, and a small parrot stands on almost every different swing.
The students from Su Zhou's music club are teaching the parrots to sing. Some are playing the violin, and some are playing the piano. They are doing a great job, and the parrots are really obedient. This song was originally a hit on Billboard a couple of years ago, and after it became popular in China, they adapted it into eight languages to sing.
Not all the students in the school's music club are professionals; some are actually learning niche languages.
From the day they arrived at the zoo, they discovered that Wanling's little parrots were really smart and not at all resilient. They seemed to be able to understand human speech, and they were like cute little toys. Even some people who were not particularly fond of parrots at first suddenly fell in love with them.
Su Zhou wasn't at the bird park right now, otherwise she would definitely have noticed how incredibly cute and cuddly the birds are.
These parrots, bought from the flower and bird market, turned into chubby little birds in the zoo. Each one is round and adorable, but there's no need to worry about them not being able to fly because of their weight. These little birds fly in mid-air and sing perfectly to the music, without making a single mistake.
The time is finally almost up.
Besides watching the animals, many people also enjoy guessing riddles at the zoo. Su Zhou collected the riddles from the internet, and to keep the game fun, she didn't set a high bar, so many people were able to guess the answers.
Of course, there's a reward for guessing the answer correctly.
The grand prize is a yearly zoo pass, the first prize is an air purifier, the second prize is a 1,000 yuan voucher for the animal restaurant, and the third prize is a 500 yuan voucher for a bubble tea shop. Many people who come to the zoo from all over the world are already quite well-off, but receiving a prize is still a pleasant surprise.
The event began with the chimes of midnight accompanied by graceful fairies scattering flowers. Under the dazzling lights, the rhythm of the music slowly rose, and the once noisy tourists fell silent.
This is the zoo's last show tonight, a program featuring the zoo's parrots singing in eight languages.
The birds' voices are all imitations of the person who usually teaches them; the 100% perfect copy-paste function makes the parrots' voices sound especially perfect when accompanied by music.
Bird number one, guest 001, flew out first, followed by hundreds of colorful little parrots, which looked like glowing paper butterflies under the colorful lights, followed by standard singing.
This song became very popular, and it was also combined with other popular domestic songs by some musicians on the music platform in a DJ style, which led to many tourists who don't listen to foreign songs also hearing the rhythm of this song.
The chubby, adorable creatures sing songs in different languages, which are then transmitted to everyone's ears through loudspeakers.
At this moment, all was quiet, and almost no one spoke, for fear of breaking the music. But everyone took out their electronic devices to record the moment in various ways.
"It's going to explode, it's going to explode!" Su Zhou stood on the hotel floor, looking at the dense crowd of tourists like a surging tide, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, feeling that the Wanling Zoo was destined to explode.
I imagine tonight's program will leave a deep impression on everyone.
A slight smile appeared on her lips as she slowly shifted her gaze from the outside scene to the round, orange-yellow moon in the sky.
