I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 684 - 683 The Playful Red Panda and the Silly Roe Deer

"There's no problem with the wedding venue—it's going to be at the zoo, of course!"

Lan Li's mother asked, "When do you plan to get married?"

After the engagement, there's no fixed time to get married, but getting married within a year is fine.

Fang Ye and Lan Li looked at each other and said, "We're thinking of waiting until next spring! The cherry blossoms will be in bloom in March at the zoo, so we can take some beautiful wedding photos."

"Okay, we'll pick a good day when we get back."

With the intention set and the time and location decided, there was nothing else to discuss about the engagement party!

They then happily chatted away.

...

Next, Fang Ye and Lan Li played tour guides, leading both families around Linhai Zoo.

Linhai Zoo's fame had grown a lot since before. Some fans, having watched Fang Ye's live streams, had long wanted to visit the zoo.

Other netizens had seen funny gifs of red pandas raising their hands or pandas with their hips akimbo circulating online. Seeing posts on Twitter and learning about Linhai Zoo through various channels had sparked their curiosity, and they specifically came during the National holiday to visit.

It's the National holiday now and the zoo is very lively; pristine white pigeons are flying around the square, and the stream of visitors is never-ending!

Lan Li's parents weren't particularly interested in the zoo—looking at photos posted by Lan Li and hearing her work stories about various adorable animals was as good as visiting the zoo for themselves.

Father Fang and Mother Fang had also last visited during the previous National Day, and in the meantime, the zoo had newly constructed various exhibits, undergoing significant changes.

It's a rarity to visit today, so they felt a sense of novelty.

Mother Fang turned her head from side to side, curiously observing the bustling crowd and noticing quite a few foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes: "Wow, your zoo is really something now, even attracting foreigners!"

Fang Ye laughed and replied, "Yeah, we've had a bit of a spotlight on Twitter recently and gained some fame abroad."

Today he had changed into casual attire, not wearing his usual zoo director uniform, so he looked quite different.

But being so handsome, he inadvertently drew extra looks, and when recognized, people excitedly waved at him.

"Hi, Archdruid!"

"Director Fang, can we take a photo with you?"

He usually would not refuse such requests that could bring visitors a bit of happy memory.

But today was different. Fang Ye smiled and gently waved his hand, politely declining them all: "Sorry, I'm showing my parents around today! Have fun!"

The red panda exhibit was definitely the most popular exhibit during the National holiday period!

It was because two cuddly red panda cubs, born just a few months ago, made their official debut.

Red Bean was now at the edge of the bushes, licking her fur and paws, diligently grooming herself.

Brown Sugar had already been active for a while and now felt rather tired, lying beside Red Bean, curling her body into a round and cute ball, with her face buried in her tail asleep, only her white little ears showing.

The golden sunshine poured onto her, and the unique fluffiness of the cub made her look like a stuffed toy with cotton poking out.

Chestnut was playing with Hawthorn.

Hawthorn, swishing her fluffy, soft tail, leapt and hopped with her short, round body.

Charging towards Chestnut energetically, she aimed her head to bump into Chestnut's bottom.

Chestnut didn't wait for Hawthorn to make contact before rolling over on the ground herself, revealing her black belly.

Hawthorn dived right into her arms, and the adorable big and small red pandas tumbled around together.

Chestnut hugged Hawthorn's head, gently rubbed it, then got up with raised hands, taking on a scary pose, like a dinosaur with fangs and claws bared.

Rua! Scaring you!

She bent down and gently tapped Hawthorn's head with a paw before landing back on the ground to scamper away lightly.

Knocked over, Hawthorn lay on her side, staring blankly after her father's retreating figure. She then stood up and scurried after Chestnut's tail.

Watching the tender moment between father and son, the tourists were all charmed!

"The cub is so lively!"

"Ah, it's chasing its tail!"

"The parent is quite gentle with the child as well!"

A group of Japanese tourists practically had their faces pressed against the glass curtain wall, their eyes sparkling, with cries of "Kawaii" "Kawaii" ringing out one after another!

Lan Li's mother couldn't help but smile while watching the red panda play: "Is this the red panda? The cub is really adorable!"

She quietly asked Lan Li, "By the way, when do you plan to have a child?"

Lan Li's face turned red with embarrassment: "Mom~"

She wasn't ready to become a mother just yet.

But thinking about it, having a cub with Fang Ye wouldn't be bad!

Then she could hold the adorable cub in her arms just like with the red panda, pat its head, and give it a couple of kisses.

They could all lie together leisurely on the grass basking in the sun, with her and Fang Ye lying on either side and the child in the middle, watching the clouds roll by in the sky.

She couldn't help but turn to glance at Fang Ye, who, as if reading her mind, turned his head and smiled at her.

During the National Day period, in addition to the red panda cubs, new exhibits included the Silly Roe Deer!

The bharal had already been moved to the plateau exhibition area, leaving only the Siberian Roe Deer and sika deer in the mixed-species area.

The mountain terrain behind was redecorated, lush with green grass, moss growth, and ferns stretching out their fresh green leaves, with a waterfall flowing down from within the rocks into the central lake.

On the grassland by the lake, a few Siberian Roe Deer were scattered.

"Woo—"

The triumphant call of an elephant echoed from afar, sounding like the whistle of a train.

Without guessing, one would know it was Meiling making that sound, as she only makes such triumphant calls when excited.

A Siberian Roe heard the calling sound and turned its head toward the direction of the elephant exhibit.

Suddenly, it started to bounce!

The bouncing of the Roe Deer was quite interesting, its legs seemed to be fixed with parallel planks between them.

When it landed on the grass, its legs would stretch out straight, its hooves kicking back! Then its legs would bend, stretching forward.

Bouncing up and down, the leaping movements gave off a sense of freedom and carefree fun!

Not only were the movements of its legs in unison, but each leap was also kept at the same rhythm.

It hopped past its companions, who looked at it bewildered, not understanding what it was doing.

However, due to their herding instinct, they took a few brisk steps wanting to catch up to its pace.

Soon they all started to bounce forward together in unison!

The sika deer that had never seen such a spectacle stopped chewing the grass in their mouths and just stared blankly at the performance of the Roe Deer.

The tourists couldn't stop laughing: "Hahaha, it's too funny!"

"These Siberian Roe Deer seem so happy!"

"And their movements are pretty synchronized!"

Mother Fang also laughed: "These are the Silly Roe Deer, indeed quite silly!"

Father Fang said: "Their butts are quite attractive, all white."

Fang Ye laughed: "The butts of Roe Deer are indeed distinctive. It is generally believed that when they detect danger, they warn their kind by shaking their bright white rump patches to alert everyone to run together. These conspicuous rump patches are like the tail lights of a car, which help maintain the group during escape to prevent the young and other group members from getting lost."
