I have a wildlife zoo

"Wooooah!!! Wooooah!!!"

The man in green yelled a few more times, but Kaka lay on the ground, with a look of utter despondence on his face, and did not want to pay him any more attention.

This monkey is so annoying!

Yan Ganghui and his girlfriend had their fun and crossed the Sky Bridge.

The length of the Sky Bridge wasn't very long, only 20 meters. Pedestrian bridges like this weren't meant to be too long; otherwise, they might encourage visitors to throw things down to feed the animals or toss trash like bottle caps to tease the lions.

Descending from the Sky Bridge was a plaza, and at the center of the plaza stood a massive bronze statue of an African baobab tree, its thick trunk stretching towards the sky, with several bronze lion statues beneath it.

The male lion, with its hefty mane, looked majestic lying on the ground with its upper body raised, its piercing eyes staring ahead as if embodying the essence of a savannah overlord. Next to it lay a female lion, nuzzling the male lion's chin with her head.

There was also a pair of playful female and cub lions next to them. The female lion bent down, lowering her front body with a tender gaze, seemingly inviting the cub to play.

The cub lion raised its paws and arched its upper body as if to pounce on the female, its posture spry and mischievous.

Clearly, it was a lion family!

The bronze statues of the baobab tree and the lions were prizes that came with the special package when the lion exhibit was completed.

The bronze lions were also climbable, and the children happily rode on the lions' backs, their smiles brighter than the sunshine outside. A little boy grabbed the mane of the male lion and burst into loud laughter, "I am The Lion King! Roar!!"

He pulled a little girl next to him to sit on the male lion and declared dominantly, "I am The Lion King, and you're the lioness! You'll be my wife in the future, and we'll have little cubs together!"

"Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh!"

The parents taking photos laughed themselves to stitches. Kids might not know much, but sometimes they blurt out something particularly amusing or sensible!

"Kids say the darnedest things, kids say the darnedest things!"

The little girl frowned, "Who wants to have cubs with you."

She ran back to her parents in a flash.

Su Hui laughed, "He's so young, yet already chasing girls. The kid's got a bright future!"

"Hehehe." Yan Ganghui had a rather unique angle of interest, with a weird look in his eyes, he flashed a subtle smile, "Liking lions is fine, but being the lion is something else!"

He studied software engineering and as a proud "engineer," his hair was nearly all gone. Looking at the male lion's thick mane, the contrast was just too stark.

After entering the indoor part of the lion exhibit, they saw a handsome young man surrounded by tourists, talking eloquently in front of the glass wall.

Yan Ganghui's eyes brightened, and he pointed him out to his girlfriend, "That's the director of Linhai Zoo!"

Though he hadn't watched Fang Ye's live streams, he often saw Zhou Ke post pictures of Fang Ye on his social circle, and remembered them well, not to mention that Fang Ye was wearing his signature director's uniform, making him instantly recognizable.

"So young?" Su Hui was somewhat surprised.

"That's not all, let me tell you, the director here is something of a legend. They say he can communicate with animals, nicknamed the Urban Archdruid, quite awesome! He can pet lions with bare hands, tigers, and so on. Let me show you a picture." Yan Ganghui knew that just talking might lack some persuasive power, so he opened Zhou Ke's social circle on his phone and scrolled through, "Look, here.

This is from last Mid-Autumn Festival when their director was delivering meat mooncakes to the tigers."

In the picture, a powerful tiger stood upright with its large paws resting on Fang Ye's shoulder. The sight alone would make most people's hearts tremble and hands and feet sweat, but Fang Ye was holding a mooncake, his expression relaxed with a smile to the side, showing not an ounce of fear.

Another photo showed Fang Ye sitting on the grass, rubbing Jiaojiao's big head and nuzzling his cheek against hers, his face brimming with a smile!

It was as if he wasn't petting a tiger but a delightful little kitten.

Zhou Ke captioned it with a grinning emoji: "Director's daily life!"

Su Hui's mouth dropped open, and she could only exclaim in astonishment, "Wow, 66666!"

...

Meanwhile, Father Fang and Mother Fang were at the lion exhibit!

They weren't just there to visit the zoo, to see the animals and relax on their vacation, they also hoped to bump into Fang Ye at one of the exhibits.

Like Yan Ganghui and his girlfriend who spent over an hour just waiting to visit Lemur Island, Father Fang and Mother Fang, although they lingered at each exhibit, moved through them more quickly, spending just fifteen to twenty minutes at each.

While Yan Ganghui and his group were still admiring Pride Rock, Father Fang and Mother Fang had arrived at the lion exhibit.

On seeing Fang Ye at the glass wall, explaining to visitors, their first reaction was to quickly turn around and leave the lion exhibit!

Outside the entrance, Mother Fang seemed a bit anxious, "Our son didn't notice me just now, did he?"

Father Fang let out a sigh and then said, somewhat puzzled, "Wait, that's not right, why did I follow you out? What are we hiding for? We could have just gone up to him and called out to him."

Mother Fang waved her hand dismissively, took off her sunglasses, and put them back on, "Eh, didn't you see our son was busy doing his job? How could we disturb him at a time like this, that would be so inappropriate."

Then, pushing her sunglasses up on her nose, she said with a secretive smile, "You know what, I've got an idea. How about we go over there and pretend to be tourists and ask him questions? Let's see if he recognizes us."

She often scrolled through news in her free time and had seen a news story about a brother who had served in the military for many years returning home. After arriving home and finding his mother wasn't there, his sister drove him to a stall where their mother was playing cards with relatives.

When they got there, while his mother was card-playing, the brother, wearing a mask, pretended to be a passerby buying dates. The sister took out her phone and started filming on the side. The mother, meanwhile, didn't recognize her son even as she filled the dates, and all the relatives laughed non-stop because they did recognize him.

The mother didn't sense anything unusual, even thinking that a big customer had come, and everyone was happy for her.

In the end, it was only when it was time to pay and a relative pointed it out that she finally recognized him after taking a good look. Then, she grabbed her son's hand and danced with joy.

Mother Fang had started watching the video with laughter, but by the end, she was just as moved, her eyes slightly misty.

Now playful, she wanted to try this trick on Fang Ye to see if he would recognize them and what his reaction would be. Would it be a massive surprise, or would he be moved to tears?

After all, they hadn't seen each other in months!

He hadn't even bothered to make a phone call, just called to give a brief greeting during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She instructed Father Fang, "Make sure to film me when I go up there later!"

"Alright, alright," Father Fang agreed reluctantly.

As they entered the indoor exhibit, other visitors glancing at them seemed a bit perplexed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Wearing sunglasses outdoors to avoid the sun might make sense, but sunglasses indoors? What was that about?

Nonetheless, they didn't pay much attention, just giving a few glances before returning to whatever they were doing.
