Chapter 282 Is this gentleman also one of your people? (On the other side of the screen)
Dark Star was still wagging its tail excitedly and barking beside her, but Gu Huaiye's gaze was like an invisible net, firmly covering Xia Zhining.
His previous two sentences had already tangled her thoughts like a ball of yarn scratched by a cat, leaving her completely confused.
Have you seen enough?
Gu Huaiye seemed to be hooked, gently scratching at the tip of her heart.
Xia Zhining's mind went blank. She first shook her head subconsciously, then realized something was wrong and quickly nodded.
Finally, he realized that no matter whether he nodded or shook his head, it didn't feel right. He froze there, his expression as colorful as an overturned palette.
Gu Huaiye was completely amused by her helpless appearance, and a pleasant smile appeared on his lips.
His long, slender fingers casually stroked Dark Star's head. Looking at Xia Zhi Ning, who was practically smoking on the screen, he finally decided to let her go for the time being.
Gu Huaiye picked up his glass and poured a small amount of whiskey.
When will you be back?
He took a sip of his drink and asked casually, "What are the plans next?"
"I'm going to the wildlife park with my brother tomorrow, and afterwards I want to ride dune buggies..."
"Next, we'll take the animal actors to film short dramas."
Xia Zhining's voice still carried a hint of panic as she carefully considered the next steps.
Gu Huaiye paused slightly, his hand swirling the wine glass. "Oh? You're with your brother tomorrow?"
“Yes.” Xia Zhining didn’t notice anything unusual at all. “But my brother has to go back to the station tomorrow night, and I’ll be staying in the desert for another two weeks.”
Hearing this, Gu Huaiye raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile flashing in his eyes, and his tone became lighter: "That's good."
"Huh?" Xia Zhining didn't react.
Gu Huaiye downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, his Adam's apple bobbing. When he looked up again, his eyes held a hint of nonchalant confidence.
"I mean, it would be nice to spend more time in the desert."
Xia Zhining nestled into the soft bed, hugging her pillow, and yawned, her voice heavy with sleepiness: "How's the zoo been these past few days? Is the little snow leopard alright? Is it still bothering you?"
Looking at her dazed expression on the other end of the screen, Gu Huaiye's gaze softened unconsciously: "Hmm, she's even more clingy than before."
"Now that all its teeth have grown in, it keeps bringing me toys and trying to put them in my hand, insisting that I practice hunting with it."
He chuckled softly, with a hint of helpless indulgence: "Sometimes I can't tell whether Dark Star is acting as its comfort dog or I've become its personal caretaker."
On the other end of the phone, Xia Zhining's breathing was even and deep.
Gu Huaiye stopped speaking and quietly gazed at the peaceful sleeping face on the screen.
She curled up, her eyelashes casting soft shadows on her eyelids, like a beautiful porcelain doll.
He gently cut off the video.
Good night. See you tomorrow.
the next day.
After finalizing the list of "animal actors" for the short drama with the Northwest Wildlife Rescue Center, Xia Zhining, accompanied by her brother Ji Shuyun, went to the Desert Wildlife Park with great enthusiasm.
Seeing that she was eyeing the desert snacks by the roadside, Ji Shuyun instructed the guard to look after her and then went to buy some.
Just as Xia Zhining was curiously looking around, a familiar dog bark pierced through the noise, making her heart skip a beat.
She looked in the direction of the sound and, sure enough, spotted a lithe gray dog in the gaps in the crowd.
It looks just like a dark star!
Xia Zhining followed the direction and found Dark Star wagging its tail excitedly in a shady corner of the park where few people were.
As soon as the big dog saw her, it excitedly pounced on her.
"careful!"
