Super Zoo

Chapter 429 Uncle Takes You to Play

The panda exhibit is located in a small grove in the northeast corner of the zoo, less than a hundred meters from Xiongshan. After leaving the office, Suming habitually whistled at the entrance of the building... Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

He waited for several seconds, but didn't see Da Hei rush out in his usual cheerful manner. Then he remembered that the fellow, along with Lele, was undergoing 'rehabilitative training' under Tony's direction.

Tony, the young man, was usually quite insensible. When he had any free time, it was spent either raiding Chinese restaurants or pretending his Chinese wasn't very good, strolling around the zoo and practicing 'spoken language' with female tourists.

In fact, his Chinese was very smooth. When speaking with Suming, he had a perfect Hong Kong accent.@@@@

Fortunately, he was a handsome guy. Although he liked to chat with beautiful young ladies, he didn't engage in any sleazy actions and managed to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor. He attracted quite a few girls who came to the zoo, almost becoming a human landscape of the zoo.

It was said that behind Shuomingqing Residence, the small grove was quickly becoming a professional English corner. Every Friday night, many female college students would come from the city to gather in the woods to practice their spoken English.

In light of this, Suming gave Tony two strict orders.

First, it was okay to practice spoken language, just don't turn it into practicing ****. The zoo couldn't afford to lose face like that.

Tony: "..."

Second, no matter how beautiful the female college students were, they had to pay the entrance fee. Since foreigners have different aesthetic standards from Huaxia people, sometimes even the complete opposite, Suming specifically added that the uglier they were, the more they had to pay to enter!

Tony still: "..."

But when it came to professional work like horse training, Tony was like a different person. He set a very strict rehabilitation training plan. He got up earlier than the horses and went to bed later than them. These two horses were now entirely his responsibility, and even Suming had to notify Tony in advance to schedule a ride.

Er Shi Xiong and Zhu Lao Er originally wanted to follow their two pals to the pony farm to broaden their horizons but were coldly rejected by Tony. It felt like a parent found out their top-student son was friends with two delinquent troublemakers who were bottom of the class and mercilessly told the two little rascals to get lost.

The two wild boars felt despised and dejected, hiding in the back mountain all day, resignedly digging holes to look for food and getting fat.

Panda Yingying didn't enjoy the same treatment, though.

Pandas lead carefree lives, not as invested in their offspring as other animals, focusing solely on their happiness. To prevent it from disturbing the pregnant Lele, Yingying wasn't allowed into the air-conditioned room. On blazing hot days, without a place to cool off, it could only sit in a pool of water, idly swishing its paws through the water, looking bored.

Seeing Suming coming, Yingying was too lazy to climb out of the water and waved its wet, sopping bear paw from afar as a greeting.

Despite their chubby and clumsy appearance, pandas actually enjoy playing. With Lele feeling low due to her pregnancy and unwilling to play, and Suming unable to keep her company all day, Yingying sitting in the water looked quite lonely and pitiable.

After thinking for a bit and suddenly getting an idea, Suming turned to Keeper Li and asked, "What do you think about putting pandas and brown bears together, would that work?"

"What?!" Li scratched his ear, thinking he had heard wrong.

"Well, they're both bears..." Suming said to himself: "It's like you and Tony, different ethnicities, but both humans."

Li initially thought Suming was just asking casually, but realizing the intent in his words, it seemed he was seriously considering it!

Li felt his temples throb and hurriedly explained, "Director, Director, it's not the same, comparing people to animals doesn't work. Even if you put two of the same family and order, like black bears, together, they're going to fight at first. And we're talking about pandas and black bears here. To use an analogy, leopards are felines, and so are tigers, but it would be a disaster to put them together, right?"

"That's not necessarily true," Suming stroked his chin back and forth, looking at Yingying in the pool with a strange smile.

Seeing him like that, Li knew things were going to get messy. His heart sank and he almost felt like crying. "Director, can we not make a commotion?" Li advised with a somber face. He just wanted to be a quiet keeper, and that didn't seem too much to ask for... Why was it so hard?

"We're idle anyway. Look at her, she's becoming so anxious with nothing to do," Suming reasoned.

Suming gestured to Yingying in the water with a serious face, and seeing this, Yingying knew Suming had something 'fun' in store for her again. It quickly got out of the water, shook off the water droplets, trotted over, and looked up at Suming with anticipation.

Suming pinched its belly and asked with a chuckle, "Yingying, how about Uncle takes you out to play, would you like that?"

"Woof Woof Woof..." Yingying opened its big mouth and barked joyfully.
