Chapter 32.2

Xie Shuyun looked at the words “Cute Animal Pavilion” written on it and did not mind. She simply followed the map and walked over.

It was a building made up of alternating pink and blue sections, one of the buildings in the indoor activity area. The two of them brought Pai Pai inside.

Upon looking carefully, there were actually other small animals here too. Several areas had been enclosed with fences, with animals such as rabbits and little hedgehogs inside. Many adults and children were experiencing them.

To avoid frightening the small animals inside, unless they were the same type of animal, the guests’ pets might scare the small animals. So they would be temporarily settled in a separate area first.

Pai Pai went to the small dog area. There were staff members specially looking after them. Seeing Pai Pai immediately play happily with the other little companions, with balls, Frisbees, bone toys, and everything else available, the two of them finally left with peace of mind.

Not far away was a place selling feed. Xie Shuyun quickly went to buy some and also brought back two small stools, then came with Cheng Lingxue to the nearest rabbit area.

Inside were rabbits of all colors—pure white, gray, and mixed-fur rabbits. No matter which one, they were all small, fluffy bundles and extremely cute.

After placing the stools down, she put a few carrot cubes into Cheng Lingxue’s hand.

“Lingxue, you try too. It’s very interesting.”

As she spoke, Xie Shuyun bent down slightly bailiantales.com and revealed the carrots in her palm. Several nearby little rabbits immediately hopped over, buried their heads in Xie Shuyun’s palm, and began eating with crunching sounds.

Feeling the faint wetness and itchiness in her palm, Xie Shuyun reached out and stroked these little rabbits that were not afraid of strangers.

Their texture was not as good as Pai Pai’s, but still nice. Small, soft, and even cuter.

Watching Xie Shuyun smile brightly as she picked up a little rabbit and placed it on her lap to play with, Cheng Lingxue hesitated for a moment before opening the short plastic gate around the enclosure and walking in.

She looked around. Although there were many rabbits, there were also many visitors. So she simply picked up a carrot and brought it in front of the little rabbit on Xie Shuyun’s lap.

The little rabbit’s pink nose sniffed lightly. Then it opened its mouth and ate the carrot. Its cheeks chewed away, looking silly and adorable, making Cheng Lingxue unable to resist rubbing the little rabbit’s face.

“It’s cute, right? Do you want to try holding it?”

Xie Shuyun held the little rabbit in front of Cheng Lingxue and spoke softly.

“…Mm…”

Cheng Lingxue lightly smoothed out her skirt, slowly sat down on the small stool beside Xie Shuyun, and only then gently took the little rabbit whose cheeks were still chewing nonstop.

She held it before her eyes and looked at it. The bailiantales.comlittle rabbit opened its slightly red eyes and looked at the beautiful, cold young girl in front of it. Then it actually used its pink nose to touch the young girl’s nose.

No one knew if this was some kind of signal, but the nearby little rabbits all looked over.

Some that no one was playing with ran over quickly, whooshing forward like arrows. This even stirred the rabbits nearby that were already being fed by others. Some even jumped down from the laps of the people petting them.

They all gathered around Cheng Lingxue.

In an instant, the cold young girl was surrounded by a group of fluffy things. She looked somewhat confused, as if she had not yet figured out the situation.

That appearance was actually a little dazed and cute.

Her appearance naturally attracted many people’s attention.

A beautiful cat-eared girl together with a group of fluffy animals—the image struck straight at people’s hearts. Even Xie Shuyun shakily took out her phone and secretly snapped a photo while the young girl was still stunned. Only after hiding it away did she sigh,

“Lingxue, little animals really like you.”

Cheng Lingxue did not know whether she should be happy about this evaluation.

Lowering her head to look at the circle of rabbits by her feet, Cheng Lingxue could neither sit nor stand. Some little rabbits wanted to eat the carrot in Cheng Lingxue’s hand, and in their impatience, they actually tried to nibble at Cheng Lingxue’s skirt.

Seeing this, the young girl grew a little flustered. She quickly lifted her skirt hem, revealing her smooth, fair calves.

Feeling soft fur rubbing against her legs, along with the damp tips of several rabbits’ noses, gave Cheng Lingxue goosebumps. Her beautiful eyes could not help glaring at someone nearby, who was propping her chin on her hand and watching the show.

“Hurry and help me!”

Her usually cold tone carried embarrassment and irritation. For some reason, Xie Shuyun felt a trace of coquettish annoyance in it, and her heart trembled.

Seeing the young girl’s skirt hem keep rising because of the rabbits jumping and lightly scratching with their paws, almost going above her knees, and noticing from the corner of her eye that many alphas kept glancing this way, Xie Shuyun instantly felt a little blocked in her chest. She hurriedly stood and quickly came to Cheng Lingxue’s side.

“I’m here, I’m here. Hey, don’t mess around…”

As she spoke, she picked up the rabbits jumping the most happily and carried them out of the fluffy circle.

Unexpectedly, the moment she put them down, those rabbits whooshed back again. It was completely useless.

“Hey… you guys really are…”

Xie Shuyun’s eyes widened slightly. Her waist was still slightly bent in the posture of setting down the ​unauthorized copy​rabbits. Her gaze followed the rabbits’ figures, somewhat dumbfounded.

Their omega was not a carrot, and her pheromones did not smell like carrots either. How could they be so crazy?

“Hurry up…”

Cheng Lingxue’s brows rose. Her thin lips pressed lightly together, bringing Xie Shuyun back to herself.

But the method of grabbing the rabbits away was completely useless. They immediately darted back again, and there was even a tendency to attract more and more rabbits. Xie Shuyun was almost unable to get close to Cheng Lingxue.

The staff probably had also never seen such a situation before and hurriedly came forward to help. For a moment, this place became the focus of everyone’s attention.

Seeing Cheng Lingxue’s brows furrow more and more tightly, Xie Shuyun also disliked being watched like this.

Especially when certain alphas’ disgusting gazes kept wandering over Cheng Lingxue’s snow-white calves.

She no longer wanted to care about anything else and simply stretched her hand toward Cheng Lingxue.

“Give me your hand.”

That rare, unquestionable tone made Cheng Lingxue freeze. She subconsciously released [bailiantales.com]one side of her skirt and reached toward Xie Shuyun.

Xie Shuyun grabbed Cheng Lingxue’s arm. Before the skirt hem fell into the rabbits’ mouths, she bent slightly and suddenly pulled diagonally upward.

Cheng Lingxue only felt her body stagger. In the next second, she rose into the air.

Just as she was about to step on the rabbits below, an arm suddenly slid beneath her knees, stopping her fall and lifting her steadily into a princess carry.

That smooth movement, without the slightest pause, made the surrounding crowd clap.

Because of inertia, Cheng Lingxue’s hands were still wrapped around Xie Shuyun’s neck.

She looked at the rabbits below, following her and gathering at Xie Shuyun’s feet. Then she looked at the current situation. Hearing the applause around her, she finally came back to herself.

A faint blush appeared on the cold young girl’s fair face.

She…

She had actually been princess-carried by Xie Shuyun in front of everyone!

“Hold on tight. I’ll take you out.”

Ignoring the surroundings, Xie Shuyun carefully took steps, moving with difficulty through the gaps between the rabbit crowd and arriving at the fence.

Fortunately, she was tall enough, and the fence only reached her waist. Raising the girl in her arms slightly, she easily stepped over the fence to the other side. Then she bent down and placed the young girl’s legs on the ground.

Only after seeing that the girl was standing steadily and straight did she withdraw her hands.

The rabbits still gathered at the fence, jumping nonstop as they looked at the cold young girl outside. Unfortunately, at most, only their heads could poke out. Their bodies could not get through at all.

Xie Shuyun also took this chance to leave the rabbit group. Without Cheng Lingxue there, those rabbits basically had no interest in her, so she smoothly left the fence.

“Are you alright?”

Coming to Cheng Lingxue’s side, Xie Shuyun saw that the other girl was wiping her calves with tissues. As for the little paw prints on her skirt, there was nothing they could do. They could only wash it when they got back.

“…I’m not going in again…”

Cheng Lingxue did not answer Xie Shuyun’s question. She slightly lifted her eyes and spoke softly, her tone full of an indisputable meaning.

“Ah, we can just not enter these kinds of areas. There are still many others, like [stolen content]little hedgehogs and little hamsters. It’s not like something like this will happen every time.”

Cheng Lingxue glanced sideways at Xie Shuyun. Pressing her lips together, she ultimately did not propose leaving this place.

As long as she did not go inside and only touched them from outside, there was no problem.

After that experience, the kitten area, big dog area, chick and duckling area, and so on were all skipped. They arrived at the innermost place, which was an outside-the-window area for animals that were not usually kept together.

Xie Shuyun’s attention was attracted by a round little hedgehog. Following the staff member’s instructions, she placed a palm-sized little hedgehog in her hand.

The fine spines pricked her palm. Because there were many of them, it did not hurt much. Instead, the little hedgehog was the one most frightened. It curled itself into a ball, only exposing two little eyes as it anxiously looked around.

This appearance hit Xie Shuyun’s preferences, giving her the impulse to raise one.

She held the little hedgehog and came to Cheng Lingxue’s side. Seeing that the other girl seemed about to step back, she quickly said,

“Lingxue, do you want to touch it? It’s so cute. Don’t worry, there’s only one. There won’t be a situation like just now.”

Although Xie Shuyun said this, Cheng Lingxue did not reach out to take it. Instead, she extended one finger and lightly touched the little hedgehog’s fine spines.

The little hedgehog’s eyes rolled around. Looking at Cheng Lingxue, its eyes brightened. It actually slowly uncurled its body, revealing its tiny [Read on BaiLianTales]face and thin little limbs. Its pale, tender belly was exposed before Cheng Lingxue, with an attitude of letting her touch it as she pleased.

“It’s…”

Cheng Lingxue had originally intended to withdraw her hand after touching it once, but seeing this, she hesitated slightly.

“Mm, it really likes you. It’s willing to let you touch it. Do you want to give it a little snack?”

Xie Shuyun’s voice carried a trace of envy. Then she picked up a small piece of snack from the little bowl beside them and placed it in Cheng Lingxue’s hand.

Looking at the crushed dried fruit in her palm, then at the little hedgehog staring dazedly at her, Cheng Lingxue felt that compared to the passionate rabbit group from earlier, this obedient little hedgehog, silently showing its desire to please her, undoubtedly suited her more.

She placed the crushed dried fruit into the little hedgehog’s pink little paws. The little hedgehog held the dried fruit with its front paws and nibbled at the snack while looking at Cheng Lingxue.

This appearance made a trace of amusement flash through Cheng Lingxue’s eyes. Her finger lightly touched the little hedgehog’s soft belly.

“Squeak!”

The little hedgehog cried out, as if somewhat shy, and curled up. But when it saw Cheng Lingxue’s finger about to leave, its eyes flickered slightly, seeming a little conflicted. In the end, it still exposed its belly again.

After this repeated three times, the gloom from being surrounded by rabbits ​unauthorized copy​earlier finally disappeared.

“Let me touch it too.”

Xie Shuyun watched from the side and felt a little jealous.

The young girl and little hedgehog were playing happily, while she was like an outsider. Clearly, the little hedgehog was lying in her hand!

But when she reached out, the little hedgehog immediately curled into a ball, not even showing its eyes.

This difference in treatment was truly heartbreaking.

“When we get back, I’ll ask Qin Yu to get me one. I’ll raise it from young. I refuse to believe it won’t be close to me.”

Staring at the little hedgehog, Xie Shuyun muttered under her breath.

Cheng Lingxue, watching from the side, found it funny. She could not resist rubbing the arm of a certain someone drooping her head.

“Alright, don’t be sad. It doesn’t dislike you that much. At least it’s letting you hold it.”

As she spoke, Cheng Lingxue pointed not far away at a hedgehog that had rolled [Read on BaiLianTales]itself into a ball and kept avoiding a little boy’s touch, even letting out piercing cries from time to time.

Compared with him, Xie Shuyun was basically receiving five-star treatment now.

That was something only an animal heartthrob could say.

Xie Shuyun looked at Cheng Lingxue with some resentment and sighed. She placed the little spiky ball in her hand back into the metal cage.

Watching it slowly unfold its body and sniff around inside, she ultimately could not resist temptation and sent Qin Yu a message.

Noticing a certain someone’s small action, Cheng Lingxue said nothing. Instead, she looked elsewhere.

This place basically had either glass tanks or metal cages. The metal cages housed fluffy little animals like hamsters, while the glass tanks were mostly reptiles.

Lizards, chameleons, frogs, and the like. Children found these very novel and kept pressing themselves against the glass tanks to look at the creatures inside. As long as they moved even slightly, it could cause the children to scream.

Of course, some could also be touched by people. But to a certain extent, without fluffy fur to protect them, they could be in danger if placed in the hands of children who did not know their own strength. So staff would always follow beside them.

Avoiding the groups of children, Cheng Lingxue walked to an area with noticeably fewer people. Without the situation of people squeezing against people, the young girl let out a breath of relief.

But just as she passed beside read the original at bailiantales.coma shelf, her footsteps paused slightly, and her brows furrowed faintly.

She kept feeling that something was approaching her.

Was it an illusion?

This thought flashed past.

At that moment, a hissing sound of exhalation came beside her ear. Something long, thin, sticky, slippery, and slightly cool licked her neck, making her hair stand on end and goosebumps rise all over her body.

Reaching up to cover the place that had been licked, Cheng Lingxue took a deep breath. She already had a preliminary guess about what was beside her.

Just as she was about to turn her head, she suddenly heard a loud shout.

“Lingxue!”

At the same time, the person who shouted had already rushed over and directly wrapped an arm around Cheng Lingxue’s waist.

The aura rushing toward her made Cheng Lingxue lose focus slightly. Her body was carried away from the place she had just stood and brought to a farther area.

Xie Shuyun’s eyes were slightly Read on BaiLianTales widened. Her breathing was a little disordered as she looked Cheng Lingxue up and down.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Just now…”

Before she could finish speaking, Xie Shuyun interrupted her. Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, she pointed to a sign standing not far from where Cheng Lingxue had been standing and spoke in a hurried, anxious tone.

“Didn’t you see that was the python area?”

Cheng Lingxue froze.

She really had not noticed.

Her gaze returned to the place where she had just stood. There was a huge metal rack there, with an enormous body at least three meters long and covered in beautiful golden patterns wrapped around it.

The owner of that body seemed to notice Cheng Lingxue’s gaze. It lifted its head, stuck its tongue out at Cheng Lingxue, and hissed continuously.

It was clearly a huge rock python.
