"I can't believe it! I caught Xiao Qiao off guard with a rainbow fart!"
"This sudden rainbow fart caught me off guard!"
"Is this supposed to make Xiao Qiao happy and lower his guard?"
"Director, it's just a fox. Can you really understand what you're saying?"
"If this works, I'll eat my keyboard!"
Fang Ye didn't intend to make Xiao Qiao happy with his compliments. After all, he can't understand animal languages unless he learns them at some point. At this time, he was simply using the "Affinity" skill as a disguise.
Fang Ye continued praising, "Your figure is incredibly graceful, your upright ears are so elegant and airy. You're like a fairy in the moon palace, with a noble temperament and a heavenly spirit. You're the most beautiful beauty in our zoo!"
As the compliments continued, Xiao Qiao's fierce demeanor gradually softened, and he even seemed a bit shy when being praised.
Fang Ye seized this moment, saying, "Xiao Qiao, can I comb your fur and give you a bath to make you even more beautiful?"
"Ying ying~" Xiao Qiao tilted his head, seeming to convey a message like, "Well, if you really want to, I guess it's okay."
So Fang Ye went ahead and picked up Xiao Qiao, who didn't resist much, and the viewers were absolutely shocked.
The live chat exploded with amazement:
"Wow, I can't believe this!"
"Does the Director really understand fox language?"
"This isn't just a coincidence, it happened with the tiger last time too!"
"There's only one explanation: the principal can understand animal language!"
"He's amazing! I bow down to the principal!"
"I've learned something today, I'm going to try it with my cat!"
Xiao Qiao wasn't pretending to be grumpy; he genuinely allowed Fang Ye to approach him, which was even more impressive.
The live chat was filled with gift rewards and positive comments.
"TigerSquad" rewarded 99 rice balls!
"FutureBroadcaster" rewarded a rocket!
Fang Ye saw the enthusiastic response and explained, "Don't think it's something magical. I don't actually understand animal languages. If you treat animals with care and sincerity, they can feel it. The key is to treat each other sincerely!"
Unbeknownst to Fang Ye, a clip of the live broadcast had been shared on another platform with the title, "Director Charms Fox, Does Fox Understand Compliments?" Some users, like Tang Xiaoxin, were curious about the zoo and decided to watch the video.
In a completely different setting, Tang Xiaoxin, a 13-year-old junior high school student with a British Shorthair cat, was watching the video with interest.
"Wow, what a beautiful fox!"
Tang Xiaoxin was captivated by the silver fox featured on the video's cover. The silver fox looked aloof and cold, emitting an icy demeanor.
However, as soon as she started watching, she was amused by the enthusiastic rainbow fart praising the fox.
She leaned in closer to the screen but was genuinely surprised when the silver fox's demeanor shifted. It seemed to become shy and less hostile towards the enthusiastic man.
"Amazing!" Tang Xiaoxin was shocked. She held her British Shorthair cat, Xiao Heihei, and tried to praise him.
"Xiao Heihei, your round face is like a full moon, and your silky black fur is as smooth as Dove milk chocolate. Your paws are as big as mattresses, but they're soft, and you sit there without moving, with the charm of Rodin's 'The Thinker.' You're the cutest cat in our neighborhood..."
Tang Xiaoxin wasn't very confident as she finished her description of her cat. Xiao Heihei simply stared back at her with wide eyes, not making a sound.
She had hoped for a response, but none came. Instead, Xiao Heihei continued to gaze at her silently.
Tang Xiaoxin sighed, a little disappointed. She put Xiao Heihei back down and affectionately rubbed his head. "Never mind, I love your silent charm too."
Xiao Heihei still didn't make a sound but adjusted his posture, pressing against her leg like a pancake.
Tang Xiaoxin checked the video's comments, and one of the top comments mentioned that this video was from Linhai Zoo, featuring the magical zoo's principal, Fang Ye. The comment recommended watching another video where the principal played intimately with a tiger.
This intrigued Tang Xiaoxin, who was now more interested in the zoo itself.
"Linhai Zoo?" she said out loud. Then, she left her room and approached her parents in the living room.
In the living room, her parents were watching a dating reality show, occasionally commenting on the participants' performances.
"Dad, Mom, do we have a zoo in LH City?" Tang Xiaoxin asked.
Tang's father and mother shared a knowing smile. "Yes, we do! We took you there when you were a child."
Tang Xiaoxin was puzzled. "Why don't I remember?"
