The snow fox's pale pink ears turned into airplane ears as it lay trembling on the ground. A small puddle of unidentified water appeared beneath the red fox. Although the Tibetan fox's expression showed no sign of distress, one could sense the fear the three little foxes felt towards the young man crouching before them.
The different voices intertwined, and Su Zhou felt as if three screaming chickens were frantically screaming and terrified in her mind.
[How terrifying, how terrifying, how terrifying...]
Is this really our charming and lovable ancestor?
[It's the Dharma-ending Age, so why is our ancestor still alive? And why is he still a zookeeper? Weak, pitiful, and helpless, he wants to faint but is afraid of being remembered by our ancestor. Should he pretend to be dead? But he'll be discovered, won't he?]
The outermost Tibetan fox simply closed its eyes, kicked its legs, and lay on its back, pretending to be dead. Su Zhou wasn't sure if Tibetan foxes had the ability to play dead, but the word "ancestor" they used really intrigued her. What kind of person could make the foxes call him "ancestor"?
I've heard Xie Chi's inner thoughts more than once.
Su Zhou's puzzled gaze fell on Xie Chi's head. The man's hair was jet black and shiny, medium-length, bound with a scarlet hair tie. The faint red line was hidden beneath his pale skin, giving it an indescribable alluring and vibrant quality. Su Zhou, needless to say, was a complete appearance enthusiast. Because of her outstanding beauty, she had always been known as the school beauty since childhood. A casual photo she posted could garner millions of likes on social media. The extravagant glimpses of her appearance in the corners of her photos were always present. Her social media account was filled with photos of abs or faces casually posted by MCNs, media companies, and various handsome internet celebrities.
Despite having seen countless handsome men and beautiful women, she still couldn't help but be stunned by Xie Chi's appearance.
Without fox ears or a fox tail, why are these three foxes so terrified of Xie Chi? The system once said that the telepathic function only works on animals...
An absurd conjecture gradually surfaced in Su Zhou's mind.
Could it be that the dazzling, wildly popular top stars are actually not human at all?
"You've been staring at me for a long time." Caught peeking, Su Zhou didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she honestly met Xie Chi's upturned eyes and said, "You're good-looking, so it's normal for me to look at you a few more times."
Xie Chi didn't say anything, but Su Zhou suddenly asked, "What's your educational background? Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctoral?"
Su Zhou didn't pay much attention to things in the entertainment industry. She knew nothing about how Xie Chi debuted or how he became famous. She only knew that Xie Chi's rise to fame seemed to happen overnight. Overnight, almost everyone around her was talking about Xie Chi, about his appearance, about his voice, and many people even openly expressed their liking for him.
Xie Chi stared at Su Zhou's pink lips. Her lips were beautifully shaped and a cherry-pink color, easily reminiscent of cherry blossoms in spring or a touch of pale pink in the sunset. When her lips opened and closed, her stunned expression was just like that of a cat.
"I am illiterate," Xie Chi said slowly after looking at her for a long time.
Su Zhou's gaze fell on the three little foxes, but her mind was not on them. They were indeed very cute, being fluffy. It seems that the human gene is engraved with a love for fluffy things, and when people see such small animals, they always want to get close to them.
Her hand gently stroked the fox's back, and the little fox's ruffled fur gradually calmed down. In Su Zhou's hands, it was practically turned into a fox pancake.
"Why are those three so afraid of you? Did you secretly hit them?" Su Zhou's lips curled up slightly, her tone joking. If any animal in the zoo was attacked or abused, the app would pop up a notification to remind her.
The zoo has been officially open for so long, and no one has ever harmed the animals.
People of all ages and genders treat the animals at the All Souls Zoo with kindness. All things have a spirit, and the animals' spirituality makes them instinctively like them, so how could they bear to harm them?
"Just cowardly." Xie Chi's dark gaze fell on the three little foxes without any emotion. Because Su Zhou was there, even though the three little foxes were afraid, they did not tremble like they had before Su Zhou arrived.
Knowing that Xie Chi didn't like to talk, Su Zhou didn't intend to exchange pleasantries with him. "The zoo will be holding an annual celebration during the New Year's Day holiday, so I'll have to trouble you to stay indoors and not be discovered."
She looked into Xie Chi's eyes and explained softly, "Your sudden disappearance is definitely unbearable for your fans, so we can only ask you to stay indoors. There's a small cinema in the office building; if you're really bored, you can play on the computer or watch TV. There's no work that requires your attention."
To be honest, wouldn't I be nervous being around Xie Chi?
There will definitely be some.
It wasn't because Xie Chi was too famous. While Xie Chi was famous, the main reason was that Su Zhou had been repeatedly told how terrifying Xie Chi's fans were, which made her feel a lot of pressure whenever she was with Xie Chi.
Xie Chi did not respond, but he lowered his eyes. The soft light from the zoo's dome fell on his profile, and even his overly thick eyelashes seemed to float with a layer of crystalline light.
The two of them stayed together to feed the fox, and Su Zhou made an excuse to leave.
After a night, the next day, quite a few people in the work group had some really creative ideas.
Moreover, everyone had meticulously created a presentation PPT. Su Zhou had roughly looked through everyone's ideas and had to admit that everyone's creativity was truly impressive. Before being exploited like corporate slaves, everyone was looking forward to this kind of work.
Su Zhou simply categorized and extracted these suggestions, removing some that were too outrageous, while the adopted ones were indeed very suitable for inclusion.
The zoo's feeding activities include making animal cakes and snacks for the animals, with guides explaining their eating habits. Su Zhou thinks this could be a great opportunity to prepare the ingredients and let ticket holders participate in the process, though it would definitely require some supervision. Given the past incidents of popular animals being killed, Su Zhou is quite concerned about food safety.
The only pity is that the zoo currently doesn't have a wide variety of animals. It doesn't have penguins or polar bears. Su Zhou hopes that next time there is a similar event, the zoo will have a much wider variety of animals.
