Everyone is eagerly anticipating what surprises Xiaoqi will bring them today.
What will the leader of the kids ride out on today?
"The first day was an elephant, the second day was a tiger, I really can't imagine what kind of surprise she will bring us on the third day!"
"My little rascal played too wildly yesterday and even wet the bed last night. I hope he can be a bit more subdued today."
Before the words were even out of his mouth, the parent's mouth dropped open.
All the tourists opened their mouths wide and raised their heads, making the same gesture and expressing the same expression.
A giant... sand sculpture?
There were two little cubs standing on it.
The boy was dressed in cloth clothes, but one sleeve concealed his arm.
The other girl was dressed in white, like a goddess from the heavens, so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly.
"Little Dragon Girl? Yang Guo?"
"Sand sculpture?"
Someone burst out laughing first.
Laughter is contagious, so the tourists burst into laughter.
The pressures of life and work have meant that these parents and adults haven't laughed so freely in a long time.
The children laughed heartily and joyfully.
The entire wildlife park was filled with joy.
The parent who had just been complaining about his little one being too wild during the day and wetting the bed at night was now laughing the loudest. His toddler said in a childish voice, "Daddy, don't be too wild, or you'll wet the bed again at night!"
The parent's face stiffened. Wasn't that something he said to his little one before leaving the house? Wow! He learns pretty quickly!
The children broke free from their parents' hands and ran wildly through the zoo, chasing after the large birds flying in the sky.
Wow! What a huge bird!
"That's so cool! I want to fly too!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, take us flying!"
"Your Majesty, wait for us! Slow down!"
Xiao Qi waved her little hand, her pretty face full of smiles, her big eyes blinking: "Okay, I'll take you flying, you guys line up!"
The children have already lined up on their own.
The adults were eager to try it out and wanted to sit on the sand sculpture and fly for a while; this material would be enough for them to brag about for a lifetime!
Unfortunately, the sand sculpture looks big, and it's okay to carry one or two children, but it would be a bit dangerous to carry an adult.
Under the envious gazes of the adults, the children sat on the giant eagle. When the eagle flapped its wings and took flight, the children's screams rose an octave.
"Hey, your little rascal is definitely going to be a singer someday. You can't just sing an octave higher like that!"
"Take a picture quickly, this photo will be enough for my little one to brag about for the rest of his life!"
"The best decision I've ever made was quitting my job and bringing my little one to this wildlife park!"
"This will be one of the most precious memories of my little one's life. I want to fill his childhood with joy!"
At this moment, a popular online streamer filmed the children "flying" and showed it to his viewers. When the camera returned to his face, he burst into tears.
[Holy crap, buddy, why are you crying?]
[Was she crying because she couldn't ride the sand sculpture?]
Dude, don't be sad. At least you could watch it live. We're even worse off; we can only watch it on a screen.
"Aww—Waaaaah—" The internet celebrity cried even more miserably, sobbing uncontrollably.
Dude, are you kidding me?
I really don't know how to comfort you when you're crying like this!
[Did someone really burst into tears because they couldn't sit on the sand sculpture back? Really?]
Hey bro, don't cry! Is something bothering you? Tell us so we can all have a laugh!
[Upstairs, don't you have a heart? He's crying like this, and you're still laughing?]
Dude, can you spare some time to keep filming? We want to see flying stunts, not you crying.
Don't you guys have any heart? Brother, don't cry!
"Waaaaah... I'm so envious of them!"
[Holy crap, did she really cry because she couldn't sit on the silly sculpture?]
"No, it's not like that. I feel that if I had such good childhood memories, maybe my depression could be cured."
What? Bro, you have depression?
I know this guy has severe depression; he mentioned it during his earliest livestreams.
[What's going on? Childhood memories can actually treat depression?]
"Yes, childhood memories are the best medicine for depression. That's what my doctor told me. He told me to recall the happy things from my childhood. Unfortunately... my childhood was filled with endless pain, the sound of my father's punches and kicks, and my mother's cries..."
Brother, don't dwell on unhappy things. The past is the past. You're all grown up now. Bury your unhappy childhood memories and don't dig them up.
Yes, never dwell on unhappy things. Look forward, not backward.
"But my doctor told me that many cases of depression being cured involve recalling happy things, and that the past can heal the present self."
[This guy isn't wrong. I'm currently studying abroad, and there's a recent study here that, while harsh, confirms that what was once a cure for modern depression is now possible.]
Brother, I sympathize with you. No wonder you can't go back to China to visit the zoo.
[Dude, tell me more about it. What kind of research was it? How cruel was it?]
[An experiment conducted abroad on mice involved suddenly separating a pair of mice that were mating. A blue substance was extracted from the male mouse's brain; this substance produces extreme pleasure and excitement in him.]
Holy crap, that's cruel! Absolutely cruel!
I just want to ask, will this male rat ever be happy again?
[That's not all; they also tortured the rat, electrocuting it, locking it in a dark room, and beating it...]
【cruel!!!】
The rats are so pitiful!
Then the mouse developed depression.
Can rats get depression?
Holy crap, who wouldn't get depressed in this situation?
I'm curious how to tell if a mouse has depression, since it can't talk.
[It's very simple. Put a glass of sweet water and a glass of tasteless water in front of a mouse, and see how much the mouse drinks in the end.]
Mice, of course, drink sweet water. What, would they drink something tasteless?
[A mouse suffering from depression will drink both types of water, and in fact, drink almost both. No matter what food is offered, even if it used to enjoy it, it shows no interest. Even when put back in the same enclosure as the female mouse, it still shows no interest. This indicates severe depression.]
Holy crap, that's horrible! Who came up with such a vicious experiment?
I just want to know, how can I cure it?
[It's very simple. Use the blue substance extracted at the time, which resembles brainwaves, to re-inject it into the mouse's brain, and the mouse will fully recover!]
What? Fully recovered? Depression cured just like that?!
What exactly is the blue substance?
[The blue substance represents past happiness and memories. Therefore, the past can heal the present self. Similarly, if someone suffers from depression but had a happy childhood, showing them childhood photos and videos, and having them revisit places they visited like amusement parks and zoos, can help them recover quickly.]
