The idea of a group wedding was proposed by Xu Zixi, so naturally, the planning fell on her shoulders. However, there was still a long way to go from planning to execution, so it wasn't that urgent.
That night, everyone stayed in the villa. The next day, Xu Zixi cooked a sumptuous seafood feast for everyone, and on the third day, it was a barbecue buffet...
They got together for a full three days. After completely releasing the emotions of their long - awaited reunion, the villa gradually became quiet.
After another day of rest in Haicheng, Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng got into Brother Hu's gaudy pink BMW and headed for Haicheng Zoo.
As always, Haicheng Zoo was bustling with a huge crowd.
As soon as they got off the car, Yan Yincheng was attracted by the sight in front of him. He tilted his head back, looking at the childlike entrance of Haicheng Zoo, his eyes filled with the curiosity and thirst for knowledge of a child.
This... was the zoo?
Just thinking that he was about to see all kinds of animals, Master Yan's palms started to sweat nervously.
The family of five bought the tickets and entered the zoo through the passage. Xu Zixi hooked her arm through Yan Yincheng's and asked with a big smile, "Brother Cheng, we have a whole day today. Which pavilion do you want to go to first?"
Yan Yincheng looked around and finally said, "Let's go to the Herbivore Pavilion first."
The Herbivore Pavilion was full of herbivores, such as zebras, giraffes, guinea pigs and so on. Although Yan Yincheng was already thirty - one years old, he behaved just like the other children visiting the zoo. Every time he came to a display area, he would let out exclamations and squeeze with the other kids, peering through the wire mesh or railing.
"Uncle, you're so old. Why are you squeezing with us? You're an adult. You should stand at the back!" A chubby little kid who had been squeezed away by Yan Yincheng stood with his hands on his hips, looking very dissatisfied.
Master Yan argued, "Who says adults can't stand at the front? I'm tall. I can see farther if I stand at the front."
But soon, seeing the chubby kid trying so hard to stand on his tiptoes, Yan Yincheng picked him up and said, "Can you see clearly now?"
Before long, several kids gathered around Yan Yincheng, clamoring for him to pick them up. Among them were Xuanxuan, Xuxu and Anning.
The once cold - looking Master Yan, who seemed to be off - limits to strangers, suddenly became the most popular king of the kids!
When they were about to leave the Herbivore Pavilion and the kids learned they were going to part ways, they waved goodbye to Yan Yincheng reluctantly, saying, "Uncle, we hope to see you in the zoo again!"
Next, it was the Carnivore Pavilion.
There were many fierce beasts in the Carnivore Pavilion, so the visiting passage was a closed panoramic one, leading from one end to the other.
Master Yan stared intently all the way. From time to time, he would pull Xu Zixi and ask, "Zixi, what's that animal?"
"It's a tiger."
"What about that one?"
"It's a lion."
"Why do some lions have manes on their necks while others don't?"
Xu Zixi replied with a smile, "Because the lions with manes are male, and those without are female."
"Why don't tigers have such a difference?"
Xu Zixi thought for a while and said, "Maybe this is the most wonderful part of life."
After leaving the Carnivore Pavilion, they came to the Animal Experience Pavilion. This was still the most popular place in the whole zoo. After queuing for half an hour and changing their clothes, they walked towards the elephant interaction area.
Coincidentally, the staff member in charge of the reception in the elephant interaction area that day was the one they had met before. And this staff member had a very deep impression of Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng's family, recognizing them at a glance.
The reason he could remember them so clearly among so many tourists was, first, that the whole family was extremely good - looking, and second, that Yan Yincheng and Xu Zixi had... well, let's not go into details in front of the kids.
When handing the elephant - cleaning tools to Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng, he gave them a meaningful reminder:
"Please focus on cleaning the elephant's skin. Don't do anything unnecessary."
He remembered Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng, but Xu Zixi didn't remember him. Being specifically reminded like this, she felt rather puzzled.
Yan Yincheng was extremely curious about the elephants. As soon as he got the tools, he excitedly pulled Xu Zixi towards the Asian elephant that looked like a small hill in the distance.
So this was what an elephant looked like. Its skin was exactly the same as he had felt with his hands. Its ears were really big, and its nose was so long. Its four legs were like pillars, as if it could crush a car with one foot.
Yan Yincheng and Xu Zixi had a clear division of labor and cooperated perfectly. Soon, they had helped clean the elephant's body.
At this moment, an old memory came back to Yan Yincheng. His heart skipped a beat. Taking advantage of the kids not paying attention, he hugged Xu Zixi and hid behind the elephant with her.
Lowering his head, he whispered in her ear, "Zixi, do you know what I was thinking the first time we came here?"
His big hand landed on her lower back again, and his fingers circled on it.
His eyes were full of Xu Zixi's figure. The love in his eyes was so obvious that he didn't know how to hide it, nor did he want to.
Xu Zixi stood on tiptoe, hooked her hands around his neck, and asked with a smile, "What were you thinking?"
He said, "I was thinking that your waist is really thin. I can hold it with one hand."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
The staff member came around with the three kids who had finished the interactive feeding. "Okay, parents... Holy cow!"
Frantically covering the kids' eyes, the staff member was extremely indignant.
He just knew it!
Aaaaah! Why do you guys like to kiss so much in the elephant interaction area? Can't you go to the Ferris wheel and kiss there!
Of course, they were going to the Ferris wheel. After leaving the elephant experience area, their next stop was the Ferris wheel.
They boarded the Ferris wheel. As the bearing turned, they slowly rose into the sky. The view gradually became broader, and the scenery below became smaller.
After a day of playing, it was already evening. The sky in Haicheng was filled with colorful clouds. The colors of the rosy clouds were reflected on the sea, creating sparkling light. It was an extremely beautiful scenery that Yan Yincheng had never seen before, and he was deeply attracted by this scene.
Xu Zixi leaned in his arms, slightly raising her head to look at his handsome face that made people lose their senses.
She remembered that it was on the Ferris wheel, bathed in such rosy clouds, that he was like a god that people couldn't help but look up to but dared not desecrate. She thought that in that instant, her heart had already been captured by him.
She wanted this god to fall into the mortal world for her and be infatuated with her ever since.
She couldn't help but kiss his lips gently and smiled happily.
Who said women couldn't be attracted by good looks? She was a perfect example. This man would always be hers.
In the next few days, the two of them went to the aquarium and the hot - spring resort one after another, leaving new image records in the same places.
After these trips, Xu Zixi went back to Xicheng to manage the company while writing a plan for their group wedding.
Half a month later, a very special group wedding kicked off in the "City of Hope".
