I have a wildlife zoo

The next morning, after the morning meeting, Fang Ye took "Electric Rat" to the red fox enclosure.

He took advantage of the early hours when there were fewer visitors and the foxes were more lively to play with them for a while.

On the way, he ran into Zhuang Xiaobai, still dressed in his stylish black coat, his striking white hair making him stand out. He was holding a camera, photographing an Oriental magpie on a branch by the road. Upon seeing Fang Ye, he greeted him politely, "Oh, Director, good morning!"

Fang Ye joked, "The master painter is here again? You seem so relaxed every day, I truly envy you."

Zhuang Xiaobai shrugged, "That's how it is in our line of work; we might not have a job for three years, but then work for three years on one project. Conversely, I think the Director is the truly carefree one, playing with animals every day."

"Me, carefree? I'm almost working myself to death every day; you'd know if you followed me for a day, all the meetings that I have."

Fang Ye expressed himself without words, then continued to inquire, "By the way, how's the wall painting concept coming along?"

He had previously discussed with Zhuang Xiaobai, and the artist had agreed to take on the task of painting wall murals for the zoo, though he mentioned he needed time to conceptualize.

If the walls outside the various exhibits were painted to resemble the animals' natural habitats, it would certainly look better than using just trees for concealment.

And for a smaller indoor exhibit like the red panda exhibit, where visitors can see the walls inside, it would be nice to paint a bamboo forest. Though it might not benefit the red pandas much, it would significantly enhance the visual experience for the visitors, whether they're admiring the red pandas or taking photos.

Zhuang Xiaobai responded, "Yeah, I've already sketched a draft for the interior wall of the red panda exhibit, but the workload might be quite large if I were to do it alone, and the painting would progress slowly. When the time comes, I'll contact some juniors from the art college! It could be a good internship opportunity for them."

Fang Ye replied joyfully, "Great, welcome aboard! We provide food, lodging, and transportation at our zoo, and of course, the compensation will be generous."

Upon arriving at the red fox enclosure, Zhuang Xiaobai tagged along. The scenery of the zoo can be photographed anytime, but capturing the Director's interaction with animals is something not to be missed.

When Sugar Pack saw Fang Ye, who had been playing with Youyou, the red fox hid behind the big stone in the middle of the enclosure. Sugar Pack began with a sense of disbelief, circling around from two meters away before happily bounding over.

In the north, it's possible for the weather to cool down and enter autumn as early as August, but in Linhai, it isn't until around October that the temperature drops significantly, signifying the onset of autumn. The animals started to prepare for the change of seasons as well.

Sugar Pack settled down in front of Fang Ye. It wasn't too noticeable while playing, but now it was clear that she had plumped up since the summer, resembling a fluffy, yellow-white ball—extremely adorable.

Her shiny dark brown eyes shone with joy as she opened her mouth wide, tilting her head back to call out "Ying ying ying~" to Fang Ye.

"Hehe, did you miss me?" Fang Ye also squatted down, smiling.

"Ying~"

Sugar Pack called out softly, almost coquettishly.

Fang Ye, without any hesitation, reached out his hand, grabbed the fluff around Sugar Pack's neck, and started to knead and massage it.

Not only had she gotten fatter, but her fur had also grown longer and silkier, feeling very pleasant to the touch!

Sugar Pack, with her head tilted back, allowed Fang Ye to massage her, closing her eyes in pleasure and curling them into cute crescent moons, emitting a series of soft, endearing "ying ying ying" sounds from her throat.

Fang Ye adjusted his massaging force just right, and seeing Sugar Pack's enjoyment, he couldn't help but laugh, "Oh you little clingy thing!"

Anyone who saw the little fox in such an adorable state, constantly making "ying ying ying" sounds, would feel their heart soften may it be anyone!

A tall and lean old man, unable to contain his itch to join in, spoke to the shorter, plumper old man beside him, "Gosh, this fox actually comes over to be petted, humming in contentment when it finds it comfortable, just like the cat downstairs at my place."

The shorter, plumper old man smiled, "This must be Sugar Pack, the most affectionate one!"

They were regulars at the zoo, arriving daily as soon as the doors opened, almost as if they were clocking in for work, and they had come to know all the animals quite well.

Zhuang Xiaobai looked on with great interest as well!

His gaze shifted to the large rock in the middle of the enclosure, where a beautiful silver fox stood watching in Fang Ye's direction. The fox seemed displeased as he watched him pet Sugar Pack, swishing its tail before huffily lying down and turning its head away.

Somehow, Zhuang Xiaobai felt a hint of jealousy in the fox's behavior!

Could a fox be jealous?

Youyou glanced at Fang Ye, then raised her head and said to Xiaoqiao, "Mew mew mew?"

Xiaoqiao murmured back, "Mew mew mew!"

"Mew mew mew~"

A couple nearby was also watching the red fox when the girl tugged at her boyfriend's sleeve and said, "Hey, look, those foxes are chatting!"

The boy curiously asked, "What do you think they're talking about?"

The girl thought for a moment, "Maybe they're saying, 'Sister, that man you've been waiting for has come, aren't you going to see him?

'Hmph, waiting for him? No way, not going! Sister, let me tell you, the zookeeper is a big pig trotter, never trust what he says! He clearly said last time that he loved me the most, yet look at him now, being affectionate with another fox.

Okay, sister, I got it!'"

"Pfft! You've been reading too many romance novels."

The boy couldn't help laughing and then said enviously, "But that fox looks so soft to the touch, I really want to pet it!"

Zhuang Xiaobai found it amusing to listen from the side. If the foxes actually chatted like that, they'd be almost supernatural. Maybe they were just wondering why Fang Ye didn't bring them something to eat when he came.

While petting Sugar Pack, the Crown Prince approached hesitantly!

He looked at Fang Ye as if wanting to be petted as well.

Fang Ye then smiled at the Crown Prince and waved, "No problem, come here, I'll give you a massage."

Now the red fox enclosure was even closer to a natural environment, with sand pits and perches that sparked the Crown Prince's enthusiasm for activity. However, he would quickly revert to being a salty fish after a short burst of exercise, which is why he remained pudgy. Stay tuned with empire

It was the season of autumn equinox when eating becomes an even more righteous act, and sitting down he resembled a plump meatball.

Nevertheless, pudgy as he may be, the Crown Prince still had high aesthetic appeal!

His fur, red with touches of yellow, looked like beautiful maple leaves, while Sugar Pack's fur was a bit paler in comparison, with a color resembling cream cheese.

The Crown Prince let Fang Ye give him a quick rub before lazily collapsing onto the ground, spreading his limbs in a very 'salty fish' manner.

"Hahaha!"

Fang Ye couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Curious, Sugar Pack opened her eyes and upon seeing the Crown Prince lying there, joined in with an "Aah aah aah aah" of laughter!

Not only did the voice sound similar, but the rhythm of the laughter was also mimicked perfectly!

The visitors outside were astonished, "Holy cow! The foxes have turned into spirits!"
