As it turns out, the bamboo viper really does know how to treat people differently based on their status.
The snake seemed to understand Su Zhou's words, obediently cooperating. Meanwhile, Minister Lin answered the phone, and Su Zhou briefly described the situation to him, receiving his confirmation.
After hanging up the phone, Su Zhou immediately said, "This little snake can't be delayed any longer. Its stomatitis is very serious. I'm afraid I won't be able to have vegetarian food at your Kaiyuan Temple tonight."
She had originally planned to enjoy the feeling of the mountain night with Xie Chi and taste just how delicious the vegetarian food at Kaiyuan Temple was.
Wuchen naturally knew that Su Zhou, as the director of the Wanling Zoo, had to prioritize the Wanling in everything. He put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, all things have a spirit. The Buddha has seen the director's good deeds. The director's affairs are more important."
Su Zhou held the snake in one hand, and the bamboo viper's tail pitifully hooked around her little finger.
I don't care, I don't care, I'm starving!
[This is so awful! I've had the worst luck imaginable! I was so hungry I wanted to find something to eat, but I couldn't even find a mouse's hair. All I could see were bald monks everywhere! Ugh! I don't care anymore, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry!]
This Lanna bamboo viper looks really hungry. Without saying a word, Su Zhou stood up and looked down at Xie Chi, who was sitting down: "Let's hurry up and go. This bamboo viper is too hungry."
There are still several Taoist temples to visit to gather material for the promotional video. Since Su Zhou has more things to do for the time being, Chen Xuan will have to handle this alone.
Xie Chi obediently got up.
Several Taoist priests and monks nearby offered, "Since it's inconvenient for you, young friend, then please come and film some footage with us."
Chen Xuan also said, "I'll go with them. Director, you can go ahead if you have something to do. Leave the filming to me."
The zoo still doesn't have drones, so they have to rely on the golden eagle for many things. Jinzi is a natural at this, having learned how to use the camera without any instruction. She's definitely a natural talent. Su Zhou nodded, and the golden eagle followed. She called out Jinzi's name twice towards the window, and a moment later, the huge golden eagle landed vertically.
Su Zhou walked over and said to Jin Zi, "We found a small green snake. We're going back now. We haven't finished filming the footage from the zoo yet. You'll have to go with Chen Xuan to film it. We'll trouble you for the next couple of days. We'll treat you to a nice meal when you're done."
It's a helpless situation, to be honest.
The golden eagle is considered a zoo employee, and should be working diligently in the aviary. But for some reason, this golden eagle always seems to prefer flying high outside.
Su Zhou originally planned to buy a drone for filming, and drones aren't expensive, but the golden eagle just couldn't resist the idea of using a drone.
Once the golden eagle sensed that Su Zhou was interested in buying a drone, it immediately snatched Su Zhou's phone and flew away.
You can't hit them, and you can't scold them.
In addition, Chen Xuan kept praising Jinzi's professional technique, so Su Zhou had no choice but to let Jinzi do as she pleased.
The golden eagle flew to Chen Xuan's side, and Su Zhou immediately said goodbye to all the Taoist priests and monks.
"Xie Chi, I need to drive... Why don't you coil up this little snake for now? Don't let it crawl around in my car later." Su Zhou had to drive herself, and as she spoke, she shook the bamboo viper.
Don't shake me... I'm getting dizzy, don't force me to beg.
Su Zhou stopped cooking.
The tip of the bamboo viper's trembling tail also stopped.
Xie Chi didn't reach out: "Ugly."
That's incredibly concise.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhou lowered her eyes to look at the bamboo viper and exclaimed, "It doesn't seem that ugly. It's actually quite pretty. Is it because you're different species that you have different aesthetic standards?"
"Just like how people look at pigs, there are aesthetic differences."
Xie Chi made no attempt to hide his disgust: "Ugly, there's not that many reasons."
Su Zhou understood: "Actually, you think that all animals are ugly in your eyes, right?"
“No…” Xie Chi said slowly, “People are the same, except for you.”
Okay, okay, so in Xie Chi's eyes, everyone except himself is ugly.
What a proud and aloof fox! You'd have to be petted by her.
Bamboo Leaf Viper was also really unwilling to be touched by Xie Chi. Animals have an instinctive sense of danger, just like it could feel the immense and terrifying pressure emanating from Xie Chi.
[Hmph, where am I ugly, grandma? I'm a pretty girl from all around! Those pit vipers, those black-banded snakes, those rat snakes, none of them are as pretty as me!]
I don't think there's a single good person among all the public beings under heaven.
Su Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and flicked the bamboo viper on the forehead. "Why do you, a snake, have so many twists and turns in your mind? I see you talk too much, so I'll assign you to the Red-tailed Boa. It's quiet and socially awkward, so you can talk to it."
[You damn love-struck humans! Don't think I don't know you two are practically exchanging glances. If I weren't here, you two would already be kissing.]
Before we knew it, we had already descended the mountain.
Going down the mountain seems much easier than going up. There are cable cars on the mountain that can take you directly from the top to the bottom, but they are not cheap.
However, for those with mobility issues but a devout heart, there's no need to skimp on the cable car fare, so there are quite a few people queuing up at the foot of the mountain to ride the cable car.
Su Zhou is also thinking about arranging a cable car for the zoo in the future.
But then again, it seems unnecessary.
Once inside the car, Xie Chi said, "I'll drive."
Su Zhou had always assumed that Xie Chi couldn't drive. She had heard that celebrities always rode in nanny vans, so she subconsciously assumed that Xie Chi couldn't drive either.
"Do you have a driver's license?"
"……have."
"Then... I saw on your Wikipedia page that you graduated from university. Did you really go to university?"
"The university next to yours."
"...So you're not illiterate after all. I thought..."
Su Zhou didn't continue. She pursed her pale pink lips and opened the car door. She genuinely believed that the information on the encyclopedia was just made up by fans. After all, anyone could edit an entry. Just like how zoo visitors were now editing entries about Su Zhou on the encyclopedia, emphasizing her Druid and Wood Fairy identities.
"Your age is fake." Xie Chi fastened his seatbelt, his long, well-defined fingers resting on the silver-gray steering wheel, further emphasizing his slender, pale knuckles, which were tinged with a faint pink. "Seatbelt."
He then suddenly leaned over and fastened Su Zhou's seatbelt.
The little snake looked listless and sullen as soon as it got in the car.
Su Zhou knew it had been hungry for a long time, so without saying much, she patted its head with pity.
You could say they're lucky, or you could say they're unlucky.
If Chen Xuan finds me, I won't starve to death from stomatitis.
It's true that I was unlucky; I got stomatitis right after hibernating. My luck was exceptionally bad.
