Chapter 420 something in common
CHENGDU Panda Base was a non-profit research and breeding facility for giant pandas and other rare animals. The facility only started with six giant pandas rescued in the wild. But now, their population had grown considerably. Many tourists first destination whenever they were in Chengdu was the panda base.
Today was part of the seven-day National Holiday, the panda base should be brimming with visitors. Even if it was only seven o’clock in the morning, there should already be people. But miraculously, there were only six visitors in the panda base.
And the one heading the six people was a boy who looked like he was 14 or 15. He was wearing a cute panda hoodie. Its sleeves were black while the rest was white. Its hood had panda ears. So, when the boy put on the hood, it looked like he had panda ears. It was super adorable. Add that to his incredibly pretty face and he could easily be the center of attention.
That’s already a huge feat considering that he was with five other good-looking people.
Of course, this adorable boy was none other than Luo Yan.
The jacket he was wearing was actually secretly prepared by his father. He probably bought it when he told him that he wanted to go to Chengdu. Of course, he wouldn’t go and waste his father’s efforts.
He had no problem wearing this kind of cutesy outfit. With how pretty he was, even if he wore a garbage bag, he would still be pretty. Not to mention this cute jacket.
That was not the only thing that his father prepared. When they entered the base and he saw that there were no other visitors beside them, he knew that his father must have done something. Sure enough, his father said that he reserved the whole place for them for one and half hour.
According to him pandas were most active during that duration of time. They ate, played, and frolicked about. By nine, most of them were already asleep. His father thought that he would rather see active pandas than sleeping ones. Thus, he reserved the place for a couple of hours. One of the reasons was that and the other was because he didn’t want Luo Yan to be crowded by the other visitors of the base.
Luo Yan was touched by his father’s thoughtfulness. Because there’s no way he just automatically had those information about pandas. Which meant that his father researched about them, most probably after he told him that he wanted to go to Chengdu.
He also didn’t mind that his father reserved the base for one and a half hour. If he didn’t do that, then they would surely be just one of the many spectators here. They probably wouldn’t even be able to take proper pictures of the pandas. Unless, of course, they wade through the crowd and made sure that they were always at the front. That would be too much of a hassle.
Besides, there’s nothing wrong with his father using his hard-earned money for the enjoyment of his children. Right?
Truly, this was simply another way of making him feel pampered and loved. Of course, Luo Yan would accept it with open arms.
But in an ordinary person’s perspective, they would probably only say, ’damn these rich people!’.
Luo Yan saw a panda eating bamboo leaves at a distance. The panda base worked in a way that made pandas feel that they were still in the wild. So, pandas could roam freely in the habitat that was created for them. It was the visitors who could only remain at certain areas. But he didn’t mind that. He understood that it was for the pandas’ protection.
He quickly took out his phone and started taking pictures of the panda. A little while later, another panda walked over to the panda that was still eating. It playfully bumped on the other. But the eating panda didn’t give him any attention. Seemingly irritated by its brethren, it took away the bamboo the other panda was eating. Which made the said panda mad and it tackled the other panda.
Then the two pandas started rolling on the grass.
Luo Yan just felt that he was hit by extreme cuteness! He took pictures of the two from different angles. He only stopped when his attention was attracted by another panda.
So, the scene turned into that of a boy wearing a cute panda jacket doing his utmost best to take pictures of all the pandas he had seen.
Luo Wei Tian shook his head helplessly seeing his second son like this. If he had known that Xiao Yan liked pandas so much, he had already bought him a big panda stuff toy. No, a pet panda would be better.
"Xiao Shen, do you think this panda base is selling baby pandas?" he asked the person beside him.
Shen Yi Mu felt the corner of his eye twitched by such a question. Now he just proved that President Luo’s IQ sometimes went offline when it came to Luo Yan. If not, then this was definitely not a question the business savvy president he talked to last night would ask.
He was just about to answer when he noticed his nephew looking at him, as if he was also waiting for his answer. His face was suddenly filled with black lines. Was this brat also planning on buying Luo Yan a baby panda? He suddenly felt an incoming headache.
So, before this good nephew of his had another much weirder idea, he quickly answered Luo Wei Tian’s question. "Ha ha…… Brother Luo, how could that be possible? Pandas are under protection of our country’s government. Buying them as pets is illegal."
When he said that last bit, he purposely looked at Ji Yun and the brat actually showed a disappointed expression. He suddenly truly wanted to hit him at the back of his head. Maybe it would force his IQ to go back online.
Luo Wei Tian sighed and also showed a disappointed expression.
Shen Yi Mu resisted the urge to rub his temple. [Good. You should celebrate, Ji Yun. It seems like you and your possible future father-in-law have something in common.]
