Chapter 65 (Exclusive)
"Why are you here?" Zhu Zhitao couldn't hide his surprise when he saw the familiar handsome trio.
These days, she is so kind to the eyes. In addition to being able to see the beautiful and bright Shen Baili every day, there are also all kinds of handsome men, a gentle and handsome popular singer, a broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, mature, cold and domineering president, and two campus male gods and their good friend who is also a handsome boy.
Her material library was full, and Zhu Zhitao couldn't help but want to start writing a novel.
Lu Mingqian smiled at her kindly: "Hello."
"Bai Li, what a coincidence."
Ji Qi was very happy to meet them. There were so many people and it was very lively. "Are you also going to the C City base to see the giant pandas?"
His mouth is a big colander.
"yes."
: "Are you also going to City C to see the giant pandas?"
"Also?" Sang Fang grasped the key word: "How did you know we were going to see the giant pandas?"
Ji Qi shook his head and said, "I guessed, because we went to see the giant pandas."
"Xiaojiu has a panda in City C. We go there every year to see it."
Shen Baili looked at Meng Jiuan, who nodded slightly and invited: "You...you guys want to go play together?"
Zhu Zhitao was a little moved, she looked at Qiao Yi and Shen Baili.
"Sure, we can make an appointment then. Where do you live?" Shen Baili saw the anticipation in her friends' eyes and accepted their invitation without hesitation.
Anyway, their travel plan originally included a trip to the panda base.
The seven people formed a group in person to share strategies and travel plans.
"Where are you staying?" Lu Ming asked inquiringly, "We are staying at the Hill Hotel, do you want to move to another place?"
“It’s safer for us to live together, and it’s more convenient for us to travel,” he explained.
"We can stay at Qiaoqiao's house and meet up when we go out." Shen Baili politely declined.
"Okay." Lu Mingqian nodded and asked for the detailed address.
"We can stay in a hotel nearby." Meng Jiuan said, and the other two agreed.
Lu Mingqian: "There is a Hill Hotel nearby. We can just change our address. The transportation here is also very convenient."
The main feature of their travel is to do whatever they want, without making any plans, and just go wherever they want to go.
So, the seven people and Joey's parents landed the plane and chartered a car to go in the same direction.
Qiao Yi's parents also treated her classmates to lunch, and after saying goodbye to Meng Jiuan and the other two, they went to the community where they lived.
Joey's home is a duplex in the community, with two floors in total, many rooms and a large space. The decoration is a mix of warm styles, revealing the details of life everywhere.
Qiao Yi's parents live on the first floor, and the second floor is reserved for the children. Shen Baili and Zhu Zhitao live in one room, and Sang Fang lives next door to them.
Joey took them to visit the house, and after they packed their luggage, it was already four or five in the afternoon, and they unanimously decided to go for a walk nearby.
The four of them went to Joey's elementary school. It was just after school, so they stood out among the other students and ate all the way from the snack street in front of the school gate.
After walking down the street, their stomachs were full and each of them had a glass of soda to soothe their swollen lips.
"Shh, this grilled sausage is really tasty." Zhu Zhitao exhaled and praised: "It's delicious. The ones in front of the school are much better."
"It's cheap and delicious." Joey added.
Shen Baili drank a sip of lychee soda and felt refreshed: "Yes!"
Sang Fang nodded silently and ate a skewer of grilled squid: "It's just that the portion is a little small."
"Primary school students have small appetites." Zhu Zhitao took a bunch from his hand.
"Where are we going now? Home?" Joey asked.
"Let's take a walk before going home. We ate too much." Shen Baili touched her stomach.
"Okay, there's a park nearby." Joey quickly found a good place: "It's fun."
"Go that way." She pointed in a direction.
"Joey? Is that Joey?"
A strange couple called Joey and stared at her with strange eyes.
Shen Baili took a step forward and subconsciously wanted to protect Qiao Yi.
Joey patted her arm. "I know them."
"Auntie Wang, Uncle Wang, hello."
"Long time no see." Joey said hesitantly.
The middle-aged couple who responded pulled Qiao Yi to look at him carefully: "You have grown so big."
"It's almost taller than me." Aunt Wang said with kindness.
"In a few years, I will be taller than you."
Joey stood there and let them stare at her for a long time before leaving with her friends.
Zhu Zhitao turned around and saw the middle-aged couple still looking at them.
No, not at them, at Joey.
"Qiao Qiao, who are they? They are still looking at you." Zhu Zhitao couldn't help but ask.
Qiao Yi turned around and waved goodbye to them: "Goodbye."
Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang said goodbye to her with a smile: "Qiao Qiao, goodbye."
"Be good."
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang didn't take their eyes off them until they were a long way away. They watched the children walk further and further away with tears in their eyes as they smiled.
Qiao Yi took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are the parents of my deskmate in elementary school. I was the only one in our class who was rescued during the earthquake that year. Every year when I go home, I run into my classmate's parents."
"They're not looking at me, they're looking at their children through me."
Zhu Zhitao was stunned: "I'm sorry, I..."
Joey shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's all in the past."
"I am very lucky. I will carry their legacy and grow up healthy and happy, bravely pursuing my dreams."
Joey's heart sparkled when she talked about her dreams.
She had been dug out of the ruins by a pair of hands covered in thick bandages and wounds.
Joey will always remember those bloody hands. She wants to be that kind of person, a soldier who defends her country.
Shen Baili held Qiao Yi's hand tightly: "Our Qiao Qiao will definitely realize her dream."
"Yes!" Zhu Zhitao said firmly, "Our Qiao Qiao is a brave and happy girl."
"You can become whoever you want to be." Sang Fang said. He was not used to such an atmosphere.
"Okay!" Joey put his hands on his hips and said, "Then let's get the Happy girls and... boys to go to the park. I tell you the amusement facilities there are super fun."
“You’re going to love it.”
…
At six o'clock the next morning, Shen Baili and Qiao Yi met at the door.
Qiao Yi was surprised to see Shen Baili in full gear: "Sui Sui, are you doing morning exercises too?"
Shen Baili: "Yeah, together?"
She familiarized herself with the route yesterday. The distance from the community to the park is not far, there are surveillance cameras along the way and it is very safe, and there are also sports equipment in the park.
She slept until she woke up naturally, feeling full of energy, so she simply went out for a walk to feel the local life atmosphere. It was said that grandpa and mom were exercising in the park and it was very lively.
"Okay." Joey agreed immediately.
The two of them warmed up in the community and ran to the park side by side. They ran very easily and their breathing was steady along the way, so they ran all the way to the park in one breath before stopping.
Joey praised: "Sui Sui is awesome."
It can be seen that Shen Baili has a habit of exercising regularly.
Shen Baili curled up the corners of her mouth: "Qiao Qiao is amazing."
“We’re all amazing.”
The two of them stretched their legs, chatted, and laughed.
Suddenly, a deafening sound rang out in the quiet park, the beat of electronic dance music with a strong sense of rhythm and great penetrating power.
Shen Baili was very curious: "What is this?"
Joey understood: "Grandpa and mother are dancing in the square."
She invited: "Would you like to go and see it together?"
"go!"
Now that it’s here, it’s hard to ignore this magical melody.
Shen Baili and Qiao Yi followed the sound and found its source.
In an empty space, the elegantly dressed grandfathers and grandmothers lined up and began to dance.
They draw a circle with their left hand, draw a circle with their right hand, and then turn around. Every movement is in tune with the rhythm. Their faces are bright and full of energy.
Shen Baili was stunned. She had never seen such a scene in her two lifetimes.
"Great...so much fun." She was very excited: "Qiao Qiao, can we go dancing too?"
Joey didn't follow her train of thought: "Huh? Huh???"
The enthusiastic aunt beside them heard their conversation and said: "Of course you can, little girls come quickly, auntie will teach you how to dance, it's very simple and fun."
Shen Baili pulled Qiao Yi into the big team. The dance steps were simple and they learned them quickly.
"It's similar to our radio gymnastics." Shen Baili watched carefully.
Joey commented: "It's easier than our radio gymnastics."
"Students have good brains." The enthusiastic mother praised the two's learning progress.
…
The two were possessed by square dancing for an hour, sweating all over. After saying goodbye to their enthusiastic dance partners, they went home.
On the way home, I had breakfast and brought some local breakfast for others.
…
The first day's itinerary in City C: Giant Panda Base.
The seven of them made a plan and took the bus and subway together. After two and a half hours, they finally reached their destination.
"We really love pandas." Zhu Zhitao sighed: "yue~"
"Drink some water." Sang Fang patted her on the back and said, "Don't play with your phone next time you take the bus. The driver here drives the bus like he's driving a racing car. If you're still playing with your phone on the way, who else will get dizzy?"
Zhu Zhitao: "Know...yue~"
"I have motion sickness medicine in my schoolbag, Taotao, do you want to take it?"
Shen Wan packed a lot of common medicines for Shen Baili, including motion sickness medicine.
"Eat!" Zhu Zhitao didn't spit out, but just gulped.
"Bai Li, give me one too." Ji Qi felt exhausted. It was the first time for him to take such a long public transportation and he almost fainted.
Meng Jiuan supported him: "Your face is so pale."
Lu Mingqian added: "The mouth is also very white."
Ji Qi rolled his eyes.
"You two should be yourselves."
Meng Jiuan took motion sickness medicine from Shen Baili: "Come on, Dalang."
Lu Mingqian handed Ji Qi some water and they said in perfect harmony: "It's time to take medicine."
After taking the medicine, the two people who suffered from motion sickness looked much better.
"Let's take a taxi back." Ji Qi was afraid of the public transportation here.
"Two dollars to experience road drifting. You used to have to spend money to go to the racing track to experience it." Meng Jiuan said with a smile.
"Good quality and low price." Lu Mingqian patted Ji Qi's shoulder.
Ji Qi's eyes widened: "You...are you devils?"
He slapped each of them and said, "Get out of my friend's body, you monster."
Lu Mingqian and Meng Jiuan were caught off guard and were caught red-handed. After they reacted, they quickly caught the escaping Ji Qi and punished him severely.
Sang Fang: “…So childish.”
Zhu Zhitao: "...So fresh."
Shen Baili shouted at their figures running farther and farther away, "Monsters, it's time to go in!"
…
Although it is summer vacation, there are not many people coming to the giant panda base on weekdays, most of them are tourists.
The seven of us took a tour bus and toured the base. The scenery here was beautiful and the air was fresh. The entire base was divided into an exhibition area for tourists and an area not open to the public, and it was very large.
The exhibition area is well planned. Not only is there space for visiting giant pandas, but the infrastructure is also complete, with a giant panda theme restaurant, theme shop, etc.
Each of the seven people received a giant panda ice cream, which was shaped very lifelike.
"So cute." Shen Baili ate the head of the giant panda ice cream in one bite: "It has the fragrance of bamboo."
"Eh? The ice cream is bamboo flavored?" Qiao Yi took a sip and said, "It's delicious!"
Lu Mingqian looked at the severed head ice cream in Shen Baili's hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
"You don't want to eat?" Ji Qi suddenly popped up: "If you don't want to eat, give it to me. I haven't eaten enough."
He reached out to take it, but Lu Mingqian quickly dodged and said, "Who said I don't want to eat?"
Ji Qi set his sights on Meng Jiuan again, who immediately protected the panda ice cream in his hand: "I want to eat it."
"You two cheapskates, I'll go buy some more!"
Ji Qi ran away with a bang: "Boss, give me two giant panda ice creams!"
…
The seven of us saw several giant pandas on display in the morning and were reluctant to look away, taking pictures non-stop with our cell phones and cameras.
"The giant panda is eating bamboo, so cute~"
"Wow, the baby can even peel bamboo shoots, that's cool..."
"It's soft, it must be very easy to rub."
"Fat baby, fat baby, these are two fat babies."
…
Although the tourists were very excited, they tried to remain quiet and not disturb the giant pandas.
Each of the giant pandas has a different personality. Some actively interact with tourists, some entertain themselves and wander around, and some quietly eat fruits... Each one is unique, and each one attracts them to death.
"I really want to take one home to raise." Zhu Zhitao looked forward boldly.
Sang Fang pushed up his glasses and said, "This is against the law."
Zhu Zhitao: “…”
"Then if I buy panda peripherals, it's like bringing a giant panda home."
As the temperature gradually rises, the giant pandas are returning to uninhabited areas.
"Where are we going later?" Sang Fang asked.
Ji Qi looked at Meng Jiuan: "Xiao Jiu?"
Meng Jiuan: "I asked the person in charge, and we can go to the unopened area to feed the giant pandas in an hour."
Zhu Zhitao's body was shocked: "!"
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Shen Baili also received news from An An's breeder, and her answer was similar to Meng Jiuan's.
"Actually... I adopted a giant panda."
Six pairs of eyes looked at her.
…
An hour later, seven people went through multiple screenings, put on protective clothing, and entered the unopened area.
There were too many of them, so they entered in three groups.
Shen Baili met An An's keeper, a very friendly girl with fair and round face, very much like a giant panda.
The keeper An An carefully told her the precautions.
"Don't wear makeup when you're in contact with giant pandas. The ingredients in cosmetics are harmful to them..."
"An An is lively and very good at acting cute. I will take you to feed it later. After you get a little closer to it, you can try to touch it through the fence..."
"Although giant pandas look cute and have no aggressive power, they are fierce beasts. Please be careful when interacting with them."
Keeper An An observed Shen Baili as she spoke, and seeing her attentive face, she felt somewhat satisfied with her.
She has been taking care of An An since he was born. When she heard that An An was adopted, the first thing she felt was happy for An An. However, following this good news, there was another piece of news that she didn't know whether it was good or bad.
An An's adoptive parents are coming to City C to see An An. The keepers are worried because they cannot disobey the notice issued by their superiors.
An An's adopter must be someone extraordinary, as he was able to adopt a giant panda and gain such attention from his superiors.
After meeting Shen Baili, An An's keeper's worries were instantly reduced a lot. She could see that this girl liked, respected and cared for giant pandas and would not do anything to hurt An An.
"Do you know the origin of An An's name?" asked An An's keeper.
Shen Baili: "I know."
She repeated what Xie Zhiyu had told her and said, "My nickname is Sui Sui."
"Every year is a peaceful year." She is sensitive to people's emotions and can sense the worries of the keepers.
"An An is the one who grew up safely every year." The keeper smiled and said, "Your family must love you very much."
Shen Baili nodded: "I love them too."
…
They passed through several iron gates and got closer and closer to An An. Shen Baili's heart beat faster.
It's time to meet An An.
"Moo~"
The panda An An heard the cow mooing before he saw it.
Are there still cows raised here?
The keeper seemed to understand Shen Baili's confusion and confirmed: "This is An An's voice. She said she is hungry."
Shen Baili's mind went blank for a moment. She was surprised that the giant panda's voice sounded like a cow's, and she was also surprised that the keeper translated the giant panda's voice into a cow's.
Ah Deng, who had been silent the whole time, said: "She translated it correctly. The bear said: I'm starving."
Shen Baili: “???”
"Can you still understand animal sounds?"
Ah Deng was equally puzzled: "I can only understand the roar of this bear."
Shen Baili corrected herself: "It's a giant panda."
Ah Deng: "Oh, I can only understand the voice of this giant panda, so strange."
Shen Baili couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it: "Maybe it has a connection with us."
After passing through the last corridor, she saw An An.
The big, chubby panda climbed up the iron railing with great agility, mooing at them with her fluffy little face.
"Moo moo moo~"
"Moo~"
An An’s head tilted when he was killed, it’s so cute.
Shen Baili felt empty in an instant.
"Fish?"
