Chapter 248: Parrot Spreads its Tail
Lan Xiaoxi and Yue Cheng immediately put away their phones: "Ah, we haven't contacted each other for a long time. We just chatted for a while."
Liu Wangxue didn't think much about it and thought of Youyou and Jinghe instead: "I miss these two kids a little bit."
After she edited a video of Gu Gua "acknowledging Yu as his father" on Mid-Autumn Festival, she posted it to the group the next day. In the evening, she received a video invitation from Gu Qingyue, saying that the two children missed Sanzi. Unfortunately, she was on the set that day and had a night scene, so Sanzi was not around. She chatted for a few words and then hung up.
Lan Xiaoxi held her phone and reported in the group: [She said she missed Youyou and Jinghe, so they will definitely get married and have a baby.]
Xu Qingsong noticed the couple's behavior and found it a bit strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it, so he stared at them for a few more seconds.
Yue Cheng noticed it, responded with a slightly awkward smile, and raised his hand to poke his wife who was immersed in CP shipping.
Lan Xiaoxi looked up and met Xu Qingsong's inquiring gaze, and responded with a mysterious smile.
Xu Qingsong came over holding Xiaoci in his arms: "You two are in trouble, what are you doing?"
Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi silently locked the screen and put their phones away: "Nothing, just chatting with Teacher Gu."
Xu Qingsong stared at them for a few seconds before picking up Xiaoci and walking away.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Cheng suggested: "Let's go forward. There is a botanical garden ahead with many beautiful flowers."
Lan Xiaoxi nodded: "It seems that many of them are tropical plants."
The four people and three pets walked towards the botanical garden together.
This botanical garden is indoors and grows tropical plants introduced from more than 20 countries and regions, such as the Buddha's Belly Tree, Canary Date Palm, and Silk Cotton Tree.
The botanical garden also has landscaping, with rockery, small bridges, and flowing water, hidden among the lush green leaves and colorful flowers.
There are also small fish swimming in the pond, whose names I can’t remember, swimming back and forth under the bridge and between the rocks.
Guagua went to wander among the branches.
Pengpeng was lying on a rock beside the pond, watching the little fish, his claws ready to move. Liu Wangxue saw him and stopped him in time.
When Xu Qingsong walked over here holding Xiaoci, the cat also became curious about the little fish and wanted to go down to take a look, so he put the cat down.
Xiaoci ran two steps and lay down on a stone next to Pengpeng, staring at the little fish coming and going without blinking.
As he was watching, Peng Peng suddenly stretched out his claws to catch the fish, but he didn't catch anything. Seeing him like this, Xiao Ci also leaned forward to catch it. As a result, he used too much force and the whole cat almost fell into the water.
Fortunately, Xu Qingsong had been squatting next to it, just in case it did that. He quickly picked up the cat and got one of its paws wet.
Pengpeng also stood up, grinning and wagging his tail at Xiaoci.
It was obvious that the dog was doing something bad. Liu Wangxue came over and tapped it on the forehead: "Look at what you have done!"
Xu Qingsong wiped the water off the cat's paws and thought to himself, what a close call. If this fat winter melon had fallen in, they would have to leave here immediately, and today's plan might have been ruined.
Lan Xiaoxi had some tissues in her bag and quickly handed them to Xu Qingsong to help Xiaoci wipe the water off.
The Tropical Botanical Garden is not very big, and even if you look carefully as you walk, it doesn't take too long to walk from the entrance to the exit.
After coming out, they walked along a tree-lined path and arrived at the zoo area. Before entering, Liu Wangxue put on the leashes for the three of them.
When passing by the poultry area, they happened to see peacocks spreading their feathers. There were white peacocks and green peacocks. Several people stood outside the fence with other tourists, taking pictures with their mobile phones.
There were compliments of “How beautiful” all around.
Gua Gua stood on Liu Wangxue's shoulder and stared at the peacock.
The little guy tilted his head, suddenly flapped his wings and flew up, then landed on Liu Wangxue's phone.
When Liu Wangxue was wondering what it was going to do, he saw the little parrot puff up its tail feathers and imitate a peacock, making a difficult "opening its tail" movement.
Liu Wangxue was stunned: "Xu Qingsong, look!"
Xu Qingsong was also taking pictures of the peacock with his phone. He turned around and immediately pointed the camera at Gua Gua: "Genius!"
Gua Gua didn't get any praise from Liu Wangxue, and was very dissatisfied for a moment. He flapped his wings and said, "Chirp!"
Liu Wangxue laughed loudly: "Well, beautiful, beautiful, my Gua Gua is the most beautiful, even more beautiful than a peacock!"
Gua Gua was very satisfied, and he held his head high, unable to hide his pride. Then he did the same thing, flying to the other three people to ask for praise.
Its leash was still in Liu Wangxue's hand, so Liu Wangxue had no choice but to follow it, attracting the curious gazes of tourists nearby, who also took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
After receiving a lot of praise, Guagua was satisfied and fell back on Liu Wangxue's shoulder.
After walking and stopping for a while, the few of them finally arrived at the large wild animal area.
When they were in front of the tiger park, Pengpeng and Guagua were fine. They were still very lively and curious about everything.
Xiao Ci couldn't handle it anymore, so she turned around and dived into Xu Qingsong's arms, leaving only her fat butt facing the glass.
Xu Qingsong smiled and patted it, then asked Liu Wangxue: "What's wrong? Is it bloodline suppression?"
Liu Wangxue also smiled and patted its butt gently: "This shouldn't be the case. We are all cats. Be good and come out to take a look. After all, we are your family members."
Xiao Ci quickly retracted her tail that was hanging outside Xu Qingsong's arm, and snuggled into his arms again.
The two of them laughed so hard.
Lan Xiaoxi took the opportunity to secretly take photos and posted them to the group: [awsl, one-day family tour! ]
Gu Qingyue: [Yeah, it feels a lot like when Nian An took Youyou to the zoo and Youyou was afraid of the big black bear hahaha]
Du Yunkai: [Tsk tsk tsk, Lao Xu will definitely be a good father]
Tao Huayu: [I really can’t believe that Lao Xu has this side]
The park was too big and everyone was tired from walking. A sightseeing bus happened to come by with a few empty seats, so they took the three of them and got on.
It was already noon, Xu Qingsong asked Liu Wangxue: "Are you hungry?"
Liu Wangxue shook her head: "Not bad."
For breakfast, Xu Qingsong bought soup dumplings and steamed dumplings, plus a bowl of spicy soup. He was very full and couldn't resist hunger.
The sightseeing bus happened to pass by the amusement park area. Yue Cheng said, "There is a food street over there. How about we go there for lunch?"
"Okay." Everyone had no problem with it.
During the meal, Xu Qingsong asked the stall owner to help cook some meat without any additives and feed it to Pengpeng and Xiaoci as lunch. Liu Wangxue went to the convenience store to buy some original nuts to feed Guagua.
After dinner, several people made an appointment to go boating on the artificial lake.
Yue Cheng went to buy two tickets for a double boat. He and Lan Xiaoxi chose the White Swan, while Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong chose the Little Yellow Duck. They also asked for a life jacket for Peng Peng.
This kind of boat does not require oars, just pedaling, and you can turn by controlling the steering wheel.
Pengpeng was very happy when they got on the boat. Liu Wangxue was really afraid that it would jump into the lake out of excitement, so she grabbed its ears and gave it a lecture.
When the boat reached the center of the lake, Liu Wangxue said, "Let's drift for a while."
The weeping willows surrounding the lake have some leaves that have turned yellow, floating and swaying in the breeze along with the shimmering surface of the lake.
Pengpeng was lying in the boat with his head resting on the edge. One paw was stretched out and dipped in the lake water, which he would occasionally poke at, raising strings of small water droplets.
Guagua stood on the steering wheel, twitching its claws as if it also wanted to control the direction.
Seeing that it had been trying for a long time but the steering wheel didn't move at all, Xiaoci stood up from Xu Qingsong's arms, put a paw on it, and pushed hard.
Gua Gua felt dizzy and almost fell off the steering wheel.
Not surprisingly, the two started fighting again.
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong looked at each other and smiled.
