Chapter 27
Koala
At the Phoenix Town Entertainment Production Base near the capital city, the actors had finished their day’s work.
Jing Mo took off his actor’s outfit and sat in the minivan.
Before Jing Mo could catch his breath, Sun Hu called, “I’ll be there in a moment. First, repost the brand’s post on your Weibo. Oh, by the way, today is the birthday of a senior in the industry. Go to the comments section and wish him a happy birthday.”
Jing Mo hung up the phone and followed Sun Hu’s instructions to complete the tasks.
After that, Jing Mo planned to turn off his phone but unexpectedly saw a Weibo notification on his homepage.
[The angelic caretaker inspires Bao to emerge from the shadows; it’s so touching!
The Weibo post had a picture of a young girl in work clothes holding a panda. The girl was slightly bowing her head, seemingly talking to the panda, while the panda raised its head to look at her.
This beautiful scene was like a scene from a fairy tale, and everyone who saw it could feel the quiet flow of trust between humans and animals.
Jing Mo quietly gazed at the picture. He immediately recognized the girl in the picture as the stray dog owner he had met at the pet store that day.
‘I didn’t expect her to be a panda caretaker.’ Jing Mo thought.
…
After Bao’s condition stabilized, Xia Xin did not need to worry too much about him. She had the idea of going to other animal exhibits to interact with more animals.
To upgrade her Beast Mastery to Level 2, Xia Xin needed to gain the favor of various animals. For her, who possessed the Beast Language System, the task was not difficult, but it was still somewhat troublesome.
Xia Xin quickly went to find Lu Yuan and asked him if she could visit other animal exhibits in the afternoons to interact with other small animals.
Lu Yuan knew that Xia Xin was a person who loved animals, so he was not surprised by her request.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Yuan nodded and said, “Alright, the New Media Publicity Department has a vacancy, so I’ll place you there. This way, you’ll have a legitimate reason to visit other animal exhibits.”
Xia Xin smiled happily and said, “Thank you, Mr. Lu!”
That afternoon, Xia Xin received a camera from the New Media Publicity Department and openly entered other animal exhibits.
Using the excuse of shooting promotional videos, Xia Xin had the opportunity to interact closely with other animals. She even had the chance to feed fierce animals like the leopards under the guidance of the staff.
When Xia Xin went to the koala exhibit, the staff were preparing to weigh the koalas. Seeing Xia Xin’s interested expression as she looked at the koalas hanging from the trees, they invited her to come and hold one of the koalas to weigh it.
“Koalas move slowly, so you can’t rush them.” said the staff member who demonstrated how to coax the koala down from the tree.
Xia Xin followed the staff member’s example and patted the tree where one of the koalas was hanging. The koala lazily moved its paws, then its plump body slowly twisted as it climbed down.
As the staff member said, the koala’s descent was indeed slow, and it even paused on the tree trunk for a while, as if contemplating why it was coming down.
At that moment, Xia Xin patted the koala’s plump bottom, urging it to come down.
Having only seen koalas in cartoons and nature documentaries before, Xia Xin now had the chance to touch a koala in person. She found its fluffy bottom adorable and felt incredibly satisfied.
After the koala climbed down, Xia Xin held it in her arms like a baby and transferred it to another hanging branch.
The hanging branch had a scale, and with the koala hanging from it, Xia Xin and the staff member read the displayed weight.
In this way, the task of weighing the koalas was completed.
The chubby koala hung from the branch, and when the staff member recorded the weight, it remained obediently still. Xia Xin could not help but rub its head affectionately, saying with a smile, “You’re such a super obedient little koala baby.”
During the interaction, several female visitors standing outside the glass window held their phones and captured the process of Xia Xin weighing the koala.
Seeing the slow and cute actions of the koala, the girls could not help but exclaim in excitement, “It’s so adorable!”
