Miss Xu seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt on her forehead. She hurriedly climbed off him, completely unaware that her face had turned as red as a cooked shrimp.
Yan Yincheng sat up and asked, "Miss Yuan, are you okay? What happened just now?"
With his fair skin and a face that could bewitch the world, and the lip print on his side - face, he was even more eye - catching. Xu Zixi stammered:
"No, no problem. It's just that I squatted for too long... You, you should pay attention to your wound. I, I'm leaving!"
After saying that, Xu Zixi turned around and wanted to lead the two kids away. But the next words from Yan Yincheng behind her made her stop in her tracks.
"Miss Yuan, can't I really go with you? What does a rabbit... really look like?"
Xu Zixi looked back. The man was sitting in the shadow, with his head down and his eyelids slightly drooping. One of his hands was still wrapped in gauze, and a little blood had seeped out because he had just pulled her. He looked extremely pitiful.
No matter how much she didn't want to stay with this man, at this moment, Xu Zixi couldn't say no.
The blind's longing for light always makes people involuntarily feel pity.
Sighing, Xu Zixi said, "Then come with us."
A clear expression of "happiness" appeared on Yan Yincheng's face. He groped for his blind stick and walked towards Xu Zixi in front. When he came closer, Xu Zixi, blushing with embarrassment, couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Mr. Yan, there's something dirty on your left face. Wipe it off first."
Xu Zixi, with her head down, didn't see the momentary smug curl of Yan Yincheng's lips.
He first pretended to wipe it and then asked her, "Miss Yuan, is it okay now?"
Xu Zixi looked up and was speechless. He didn't even wipe the right place.
"About three finger - widths in the two - o'clock direction above the corner of your mouth."
Yan Yincheng followed her instructions and wiped with his handkerchief again, but he still perfectly missed the lip print. He asked again, "What about now?" Now, she should come over and help him wipe it off, right? The faint fragrance on her body still lingered in Lord Yan's nose, and his heart started beating uncontrollably fast again.
Who would have thought...
"Xuxu baby, go and help uncle clean his face."
Yuan Xiaoxu happily accepted mommy's task and bounced over, saying, "Uncle Yan, squat down. Xuxu will help you wipe your face."
Lord Yan's lips twitched slightly, but finally he squatted down as he wished and let the child wipe off the lip print on his face.
The four of them set off again towards the herbivore pavilion not far away. But after walking a few steps, Xu Zixi noticed a problem. She looked back at Yan Yincheng, who was clearly much slower than them, and felt a headache.
At his pace, they might not even be able to get out of the herbivore pavilion in a day. She originally planned to take the two kids to the aquarium today!
As if sensing what was on her mind, Yan Yincheng said actively:
"Am I holding you back? Otherwise, Yuan Xi, hold my hand?"
If Wei Shu were here, he would definitely be extremely shocked. His Lord Yan never allowed women to get close to him before, but today he actually took the initiative to let a woman hold his hand! Was his Lord Yan still the same person? Could he have been possessed by someone else?!
Lord Yan really went all out to prove himself.
Xu Zixi suddenly coughed. After finally calming down, she blushed and picked up his blind stick, holding one end while letting him hold the other. She said:
"Let's do it like this."
Yan Yincheng felt inexplicably disappointed and nodded, "Okay."
With the guidance of the blind stick, they walked a bit faster. Soon, the various animals in the herbivore pavilion caught the attention of the two kids. This time, not only the two kids were curious, but Lord Yan also turned into a "walking encyclopedia of questions".
"Mommy, what's that black - and - white animal?"
"That's called a zebra," Xu Zixi explained. "Zebras are native to Africa. They eat grass, shrubs, branches, and leaves. Their digestive systems are very powerful, and each zebra has different stripes, which are the marks for them to recognize each other among their kind. So each one is unique."
"Miss Yuan, what does a zebra... look like?" Yan Yincheng asked.
Xu Zixi glanced at him and resigned herself to answering, "Zebras look a bit like horses, but their ears are more like donkeys', and they have black - and - white circular stripes on their bodies."
Yan Yincheng couldn't imagine what a zebra looked like based on her description, and he immediately had another question, "What do horses look like? And donkeys?"
"Mommy, mommy, zebras are like the little horses in the stories, right?" Yuan Xiaoxu also tugged at Xu Zixi's clothes and asked.
Miss Xu wanted to cry. What sin had she committed to bring them to the zoo!
"Mommy, what's that fat thing? Why is it spraying out black stuff?"
Miss Xu: "That's a rhinoceros. It's... it's... it's pooping! Let's go quickly! It's so disgusting!"
"Mommy! What are those animals with sharp things on their heads?"
Miss Xu: "Those are antelopes. The sharp things on their heads are their horns. Besides using them to defend against enemies, their horns can also be used as medicine to treat diseases."
"Miss Yuan, could you describe what an elephant looks like again?"
Bombarded with all kinds of questions along the way, Xu Zixi was dizzy. Finally, when she saw the sign of the Animal Keeper Experience Hall in Haicheng Zoo, she was so touched that she almost cried: "You'll soon know what an elephant looks like!"
The Animal Keeper Experience Hall is a new project specially set up in Haicheng Zoo. By simulating the work of animal keepers, visitors can get up - close and personal with the animals. The selected animals are all gentle and friendly, so there's no danger at all. Xu Zixi originally brought the two kids here for this experience hall, but she didn't expect that Yan Yincheng would end up joining them.
The Animal Keeper Experience Hall was extremely popular. There was a long queue outside the venue. By the time it was Xu Zixi's turn and the others, it was almost noon. To enter the venue, they needed to change into protective suits, hats, and shoe covers. Xu Zixi and the two kids changed first. Looking back, she saw Yan Yincheng frowning and standing still, so she had to go over and help him change.
"Wow, that couple and their baby over there are so good - looking! They're even more handsome than the TV stars!"
"Wife, look at that wife over there helping her husband change clothes. Help me too!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't let them hear you!"
Xu Zixi was concentrating on helping Yan Yincheng put on his shoe covers and didn't notice that the four of them looked like a family in the eyes of others. But Yan Yincheng, with his excellent hearing, heard every word of the conversation clearly. Somehow, he felt extremely elated.
At the same time, a strong sense of curiosity welled up in his heart.
What did his two children and the woman in front of him... look like?
