As soon as he entered the room, his eyes were attracted by the furry figure in the activity area.
The snow leopard cub has obviously grown bigger, and the gray and white markings on its body are clearer and more beautiful. It is lazily lying on a short tree basking in the sun.
Gu Huaiye was stunned for a moment, almost not daring to recognize it: "Is this... the one from before?"
He murmured subconsciously: "It has grown so much..."
As if hearing a familiar voice, the little snow leopard pricked up its ears alertly and sniffed the air carefully.
The keeper smiled and explained: "It's a little shy now, so it might not..."
Before he could finish his words, the little snow leopard suddenly stood up, took a slightly clumsy but obviously much more steady step, walked straight to the glass partition, and rubbed it affectionately with its furry head.
He was standing right in front of Gu Huaiye, and a pleasant gurgling sound came from his throat.
The breeder's remaining half of the sentence was stuck in his throat, but Gu Huaiye's mouth corners curled up almost imperceptibly.
The keeper opened the side door to let the little snow leopard into the interactive area.
As soon as the little guy came out, he moved towards Gu Huaiye's legs with a clear goal. He first circled around him curiously twice, and then suddenly hugged his trouser legs.
Gu Huaiye squatted down curiously, and the little snow leopard gently nibbled his fingers with its newly grown milk teeth, as if practicing hunting.
Xia Zhining couldn't help laughing: "It likes you and is playing with you!"
Gu Huaiye felt the tingling sensation on his fingertips, but instead of avoiding it, his eyes became unusually soft, and there was a hint of subtle pride in his tone: "Yeah, teeth have grown."
He inexplicably felt a sense of relief in his heart, like an old father watching his child grow up healthy.
Xia Zhining glanced at the time and suggested with a smile, "It's almost time for this little guy to eat. Now he has to eat from his little bowl. Mr. Gu, do you want to try 'Laoben' again?"
Gu Huaiye raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, his tone filled with a hint of helpless indulgence: "Since I'm here, if I don't feed you, will you let me go today?"
The keeper, stifling a laugh, quickly brought a small bowl of warm goat's milk. As soon as Gu Huaiye took the bowl and squatted down, the anxious little snow leopard buried its head in the bowl, slurping and devouring it, its tail wagging happily.
As a result, the little guy was not paying attention and scratched with his claws, causing half a basin of milk to splash out, accurately splashing all over Gu Huaiye's face.
Xia Zhining was stunned at first, then pointed at his face and laughed out loud without any hesitation.
But before she finished laughing, the little snow leopard who was eating happily suddenly shook its head again!
A few drops of warm milk splashed accurately onto Xia Zhining's nose and cheeks.
Xia Zhining couldn't laugh anymore.
Gu Huaiye, who had milk stains on his face just now, looked at her suddenly stunned expression, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and the previous depression disappeared.
It was clearly written on his face: The smile will not disappear, it just transfers to my face.
At this moment, An Xing, who had been unable to contain herself any longer, came over, kindly stuck out her big tongue, and licked the milk stains off Gu Huaiye's face with a "swish". She then turned around and carefully helped Xia Zhining "wash her face".
Xia Zhining's face was covered in saliva, and she wiped it with a tissue, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Anxing...thank you, your intention is indeed good."
She paused and added seriously, "But I suggest you don't set out again next time."
Gu Huaiye commented: "Someone deserves it."
The breeder couldn't help but burst out laughing.
For a moment, the entire Snow Leopard House was filled with lighthearted laughter.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the warm yellow lights came on, enveloping the area in an exceptionally harmonious and warm atmosphere.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
The campus of Jiangcheng University is decorated with lights and filled with a solemn and warm atmosphere.
As the top institution of higher learning in Jiangcheng and even the entire southern region, the opening ceremony of the new school year has naturally attracted much attention.
Flags fluttered on both sides of the main road, and a bright red carpet was laid out all the way from the school gate to the open-air stage.
The VIP seats in front of the stage were filled with guests, including celebrities from the political, business and academic circles.
Not only were all the school leaders present, but several important local leaders also wore formal attire and entered the venue under the guidance of etiquette personnel.
There were still twenty minutes left before the ceremony and the auditorium was packed.
Xia Zhining also came today. She originally planned to go to the S1 laboratory to familiarize herself with the environment, but was invited by Principal Li to attend the opening ceremony first.
