I have a wildlife zoo

The amusement park had a much better environment than the zoo.

The ground was clean, and all the facilities were pretty.

"Director, let's ride the merry-go-round?"

Lan Li looked at the couples happily chasing each other on the wooden horses and revealed a hopeful expression.

"Sure."

Although Fang Ye found the merry-go-round a bit childish, this one was specifically for adults, while the smaller merry-go-round next to it was meant for children.

Playing among other adults wasn't embarrassing; if he had been mixed in with a bunch of kids, he probably wouldn't have agreed so readily.

Some tourists nearby heard their conversation and looked over with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

People had all sorts of nicknames, but "Director" was a new one. Were young couples these days that original in their role-playing?

Fang Ye stepped onto the merry-go-round, listening to the cheerful music from the speakers, yellow lights on the columns twinkling in turn. The horse beneath him moved up and down, which surprisingly wasn't too bad, and it felt like a return to childhood.

Lan Li sat on a horse in front, strands of her hair fluttering by her ears in the wind, occasionally turning her head back to give him a giggly look. She seemed to be enjoying herself quite a bit too.

The merry-go-round stopped after a few minutes, and feeling unsatisfied, they went for another ride before moving on to the trampoline, the pirate ship, and various other attractions.

By 4 p.m., they checked the time and decided it was about time to leave the amusement park.

Wandering around all day was indeed somewhat tiring!

Lan Li was so excited about her date with Fang Ye that she barely slept the night before and got up at 5 a.m. to get ready and make up.

As for Fang Ye, he was so carefree he almost forgot about it and slept soundly.

So, she was much more tired than Fang Ye!

On the ride back to Pingjiang Railway Station, they were still excitedly discussing their experiences and debating which attraction was the most fun. Once they were on the train, they started to feel sleepy and couldn't resist it anymore.

Sleepiness gradually fermented, her eyelids blinking, she rested her arm on the table and leaned her head onto her arm, wanting to snooze for a while.

But the space between the chair and the table was cramped, and the position wasn't very comfortable.

If only she could lean on the Director's shoulder and sleep!

Should she lean on the chair and pretend to fall asleep, letting her body naturally lean over...?

The thought made Lan Li blush.

She turned her head a little and sneakily opened her eyes to peek at Fang Ye through the gap in her arm.

To her surprise, she caught Fang Ye also looking at her. Eyes meeting, her heart suddenly raced, and she quickly turned her head back as if nothing had happened, closing her eyes and holding her breath, her face flushing with heat.

Was the Director actually sneaking glances at me, or was it just a chance look?

Fang Ye felt embarrassed; he swore he hadn't been peeping!

It was merely a subconscious appreciation of beauty, nurturing his own sense of aesthetics, his thoughts entirely innocent.

But seeing Lan Li stealing glances and getting caught in her embarrassed state was indeed quite endearing.

He couldn't help but ponder, did Lan Li like him?

Soon, he calmed down, certain he was overthinking it!

In school, every time a pretty classmate glanced at him a bit longer, he couldn't help but wonder if she liked him.

However, in reality, he sat by the window against the wall. Maybe they were just turning back to see if the homeroom teacher or the head of discipline was around. Liking someone was often just the self-delusion of a young mind...

Lan Li probably just wasn't comfortable sleeping and wanted to adjust her position.

So he patted Lan Li on the shoulder.

Lan Li raised her head, her face flushed and slightly nervous, "What is it, Director?"

Fang Ye considerately said, "If you're uncomfortable sleeping on the table, you can lean on my shoulder."

"Huh?"

Lan Li could hardly believe it as she opened her eyes wide in surprise, her wish had come true!

Feeling shy yet overjoyed, she sweetly agreed and closed her eyes, gently leaning her head on Fang Ye's shoulder.

So comfortable, so warm…

She soon fell into a sweet sleep.

Fang Ye was actually a bit tired too, but having such a cute and soft girl leaning on his shoulder, her silky hair tickling his neck, and a faint scent continuously wafting into his nose, he didn't feel like sleeping at all.

He took out his phone and casually read a novel.

The scenery outside the train kept changing, and it seemed to be getting darker outside.

It was just past 6 o'clock now, but darkness seemed to fall much quicker today, didn't it?

Fang Ye was puzzled and looked out the window, confirming that it wasn't just his imagination.

The sky was slightly dark and gloomy, a heavy atmosphere brewing in the air, with thick black clouds gathering and looming over Linhai.

It looked like it was going to rain, and heavily at that.

He opened the WeChat group, and sure enough, they were discussing this very topic.

Guan Shan: "Looks like we're in for a heavy rain! I saw that the Linhai Meteorological Bureau has issued a warning, saying there will be torrential rain from tonight until the day after tomorrow."

Meng Shi: "It was sunny this morning, and suddenly in the afternoon, the sky turned overcast."

He Yifei: "As long as it's not a typhoon, it's fine. By the way, will the director and Lan Li be able to make it back today? /Funny"

Lin Ying: "Hehe, don't know /Funny"

Fang Ye: "Cough cough!"

He Yifei retracted a message.

Lin Ying retracted a message.

Fang Ye was speechless and cautioned, "Have the animals been brought in? Hurry up and bring all the animals back to the rear houses, and be safe!"

He Yifei: "Don't worry, Boss, they've been brought in!"

Lü Jiamu: "They've been brought in!"

The animal keepers chimed in one after another, Fang Ye felt somewhat relieved: "Good that they have been brought in."

Normally, a zoo wouldn't need to bring animals inside for a light rain as the enclosures have trees and rain shelters, and the animals can find their own places to take cover.

Plus, a bit of rain is considered natural enrichment, and some animals might even enjoy it for the novelty.

If it is a heavy rain, then as soon as the rear house doors open and the animal keeper calls out twice, the animals naturally cooperate and run back in.

Mainly, since it was already getting dark, he was concerned about the animal keepers having accidents while bringing the animals in, like slipping or catching a cold.

Now that it was closing time it was still okay. If it rained heavily during opening hours, they would have to be responsible for getting the visitors out of the park, providing umbrellas, and allowing umbrella rentals for guests to get home.

After sending messages in the group, Fang Ye saw that they were almost at the station and gently nudged Lan Li, "We've arrived, we've arrived! Time to get off."

"Ah ooh, ah ooh."

Lan Li woke up, mumbling groggily, feeling like she had slept so soundly.

She had just had a very strange dream where she turned into a rabbit and the director tenderly stroked her head and ears while feeding her delicious carrots, which she ate with relish.

It must have been seeing those rabbits at the zoo that led to such a dream.

Leaving Fang Ye's shoulder, she rubbed her cheeks, reluctantly saying, "Are we there already?"

Fang Ye chuckled, "Almost, just woke you up first."

Lan Li glanced at the dim outside and suddenly realized something was wrong, "Eh, why is it so dark? Is it going to rain?"

"Yes, that's why we need to hurry back after getting off the train, otherwise you might end up soaked like a drenched chicken."

As for Lan Li's small umbrella, it would definitely not be enough for two people.
