"Is that a wolf?" Shang Yan couldn't help but stare at the "big bad wolf" barking inside the fenced-off area.
Zhou Ping glanced at the sign that said "wolf," took out his phone, took a picture, and started to identify it. "It's a dog, but it doesn't bark like one."
Wolves always howl with a single "Awoo".
The dogs in the yard were barking loudly as they rushed over because Shang Yan had hit them with small stones.
One of them stuck its mouth out and barked loudly. Shang Yan couldn't hold back any longer and jumped up and slapped it across the face.
This startled the dog, and its eyes became much clearer.
Zhou Ping silently looked around and, finding no one paying attention, took Shang Yan's hand and quickly left.
Don't let the staff see...
How will they explain it then?
Does this mean that you came here to see the animals, got into an argument with a dog pretending to be a wolf in the zoo, and because the other dog had more power and you couldn't win the argument, you just punched the dog?
No matter how you look at it, it seems like Shang Yan hit someone's dog in the yard.
"Let's run quickly," Zhou Ping coughed lightly, thinking it was better for them not to be too conspicuous.
What's so interesting about wolves? He remembered there was a peacock park ahead, so taking Shang Yan to see the peacocks displaying their plumage wouldn't be bad either.
Before coming here, Zhou Ping hadn't expected the wolves in the zoo to turn into dogs, but it wasn't a big deal, and Zhou Ping just considered it a minor incident.
They haven't even seen half of the zoo yet, but they've already seen the mischievous monkeys and argued with the wolf-like dogs. Shouldn't things get a little more normal from now on?
Zhou Ping led Shang Yan to the Peacock Park and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the information on the notice board.
He clearly breathed a sigh of relief too soon.
"cluck cluck"
"cluck cluck"
"Cluck cluck..." came a few clucks, followed by three old hens.
Shang Yan stared in disbelief. "No, this is a peacock?"
For a moment, Shang Yan even thought he was having an attack.
He took out his phone and snapped a few photos, then opened the Taobao app and used the image recognition feature. The words "old hen" appeared on his phone.
"Old Hen" eggs, 9.9 yuan with free shipping, you won't lose out, you won't be cheated.
"...Zhou Ping, have you ever seen a peacock?" Shang Yan had been to the zoo before he transmigrated, so he had naturally seen peacocks.
Zhou Ping didn't know what to say. "I've seen it on my phone."
He glanced again at the clucking hen searching for food, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say, "It doesn't look like this. This is a chicken."
You know what, this zoo is really something else! Shang Yan even wondered if the animals were on vacation, since there were substitutes coming to work.
“That’s very different now.” Shang Yan stopped looking at the old hen and prepared to wander around somewhere else to see if he could see anything else strange.
When Shang Yan saw a donkey, he couldn't help but laugh. He pointed to the sign next to him and asked, "Does that say 'horse'?"
"Mm," Zhou Ping nodded in response. "Want to keep watching?"
It was his first time visiting the zoo, and he hadn't expected to make such a mistake on his first visit with Shang Yan. He felt a little discouraged.
Will this give Shang Yan a bad experience? What if Shang Yan doesn't want to go out with him anymore?
"Yes, we definitely have to see it," Shang Yan almost laughed himself to death. "It's fun, let's watch it together."
"Why haven't you been to the zoo yet? This place we came to this time is so fake. When we get back to Xijin City, let's go to the zoo there together," Shang Yan said excitedly.
“You’re always too busy. You’re working every day, either washing dishes for your third uncle or going to the retail store to stock up. You definitely don’t have time to go out,” he thought, feeling that Zhou Ping’s time was always stretched thin.
Shang Yan asked with some doubt, "Are you short of money lately?"
How can you be so diligent and hardworking? You're always so busy you lose your bearings.
“Nothing’s missing.” Zhou Ping reached out and touched Shang Yan’s head. His soft hair tickled his palm.
Shang Yan sighed softly and turned his head away.
"My sister said that if you keep getting your head patted, you won't grow taller." Although he's not short now, he's still shorter than Zhou Ping.
This was the first time Shang Yan had managed to evade Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping, "..."
For some reason, he seemed rather unhappy.
Perhaps it's because it's too cold?
After taking a few steps forward, Shang Yan noticed that Zhou Ping hadn't followed. He tilted his head slightly in confusion and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why are you standing still?"
Zhou Ping caught up right after he finished speaking, "It's nothing..."
"Eh?" Shang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then, as if he had just remembered something, he reached out and grabbed Zhou Ping's hand.
"If you want to touch my head, of course you can." After hesitating for three seconds, he placed Zhou Ping's hand on his head. "Hey, it's just a matter of me putting on an extra insole..."
After Zhou Ping rubbed his head with his hand, Shang Yan raised an eyebrow at him and leaned in to rub his face against Zhou Ping's palm in a friendly gesture.
"...What are you doing?" Zhou Ping's face flushed red instantly when his palm was rubbed. The warm touch made him feel a little flustered.
Zhou Ping even suspected that Shang Yan might be having an episode. He couldn't help but take out his phone with his free left hand and glance at it: 14:59.
He should still be conscious... Could it be that the onset of the illness occurred earlier than expected?
Just as Zhou Ping was struggling with his thoughts, the time on his phone changed from 14:59 to 15:00.
"Baby, why are you being so proactive today? You even touched my face!" Shang Yan smiled and took two steps towards Zhou Ping, standing directly in front of him.
The two were so close that Zhou Ping could hear his heartbeat.
"Shang Yan...?" Ah, it seems that Shang Yan is not only abnormal when he is having an attack, but he is also not quite normal when he is lucid!
Zhou Ping silently took a step back, and he swallowed unconsciously.
Shang Yan grabbed his hand and took another step forward, asking with some confusion, "Why are you stepping back?"
“…We’re too close,” Zhou Ping’s lips twitched as he explained softly.
His words made Shang Yan's eyes widen.
What does this mean?
"You don't want to get close to me?" His slightly drooping eyes and downturned mouth made him look even more pitiful.
Zhou Ping was truly at a loss for what to do with him now. He awkwardly explained, "No, I didn't..."
