After I calmed him down, I began to make further preparations for our trip to the zoo.
Since it was an activity outside of school, I didn't need to wear a school uniform. I wore a set of clothes that was easy to move around in and wasn't too old (mainly for Ai Mi and Xiao Qin).
I originally had three hundred dollars in my wallet, plus the five hundred dollars my dad gave me, I had a total of eight hundred dollars. If it was just me and Xiao Qin, then it wouldn't matter if we went to the zoo or the amusement park, but with Ai Mi, the expenses became unpredictable.
Considering how unreliable Ai Mi was, even if I had ¥2000 or ¥3000 in my wallet, it might not be enough. So I only brought the ¥800 with me.
But before I left, I put on the contact lenses that came with my smartwatch in the washroom. The monocle could unknowingly act like a computer screen. It could provide me with all kinds of human search results without leaving a trace.
It wasn't that I foresaw that I would meet any suspicious people in the zoo, but in front of all kinds of animals, I might not be able to name them correctly since I never paid attention in biology class. In order to protect my brother's dignity, I had no choice but to use my contact lenses to search for the right animal.
After I was ready, I went to Ai Mi's principal's building to meet up with everyone. I happened to meet Xiao Qin who was waiting for me in front of the boys' dorm.
"Ye Lin classmate, you're so slow ~ ~ ~ ~ I stood in front of the door for a long time. It felt like there were a lot of boys peeking at me through the window, it was super uncomfortable! Are you not going to do anything about your childhood friend being seen as an adulterer? "
Don't casually use the evil words you learned from Eunuch Cao! If you have androphobia, then don't come to the boys' dorm and wait for me at Ai Mi's principal's building!
Xiao Qin clearly made meticulous preparations for today's trip. She wore a white shirt with star decorations on the collar and a checkered vest that accentuated her slender waist. She also wore a pair of cute denim shorts with a red bow tie as a belt.
Ever since Xiao Qin announced that she wanted to be a girl, she rarely wore shorts outside. However, she must have known that Meihua Zoo was newly opened and that there would be a lot of people during the weekend. Wearing a skirt would be inconvenient and it would be easy to expose herself, so she chose to wear shorts.
Ai Mi wasn't as thoughtful as Xiao Qin. When Xiao Qin and I met her and Peng TouSi in the underground parking lot of the principal's building, I saw that Ai Mi was still wearing Qing Zi High School's uniform. She also had a red armband with the word "principal" on her arm.
"What? You're asking me why I have to wear a school uniform when I go out? Was there even a need to ask? I'm the principal of Qingzi High School. If I don't wear the school uniform and armband, where is the prestige of a principal? "
"As for saying that it's easy to expose yourself in the school uniform skirt, that's a joke! With Peng TouSi around, who would dare to get close? Even if my skirt is blown up by the strong wind, can't you quickly block it for me? Didn't you say that your Yin Yang Sanshou is the best martial art in the universe? If you can't even cover your sister's body, how can you call yourself the best martial art in the universe? "
Damn, what Ai Mi said made sense, I had no words to retort …
With Peng TouSi driving, we arrived at the entrance of Mei Hua Zoo in half an hour, but it wasn't a peaceful journey.
"Violent woman, move away! I'm carsick, that's why I'm hugging my brother's arm — — what are you doing! "
In the passenger seat behind Peng TouSi, Ai Mi tightly hugged my right arm and fiercely barked at Xiao Qin who was hugging my left arm.
Xiao Qin was unwilling to be outdone, "Nonsense! This is your own car, I've never seen you get carsick when you sit here and there every day, why would you get carsick today? It's not like you've been sickly since childhood … "
"Who's getting carsick? Who's sickly since childhood? "I said angrily.
"One clearly spends more time sitting in a car than walking, and the other has been as strong as a T-rex since childhood. Can you two let go of my arms so I don't feel like I'm being kidnapped! Although it's already September, the weather is still very hot, aren't you two hot? "
"There's air conditioning in the car." Xiao Qin and Ai Mi said almost at the same time.
After a brief moment of tacit understanding, Ai Mi and Xiao Qin began to bicker again.
"My brother belongs to me alone! I'm the real sister! What right do you have to be on equal footing with me? "
Xiao Qin was unmoved, "Hmph, an adopted sister has its own benefits. You're not related by blood, so you don't have to worry about getting married or doing things like that …"
"You …" Ai Mi couldn't help but clench her teeth, "So what if we're related by blood? The world is so big, we can always find a country that allows siblings to get married! Also, I can do things like that with my brother at any time! "
"Hmph." Peng TouSi, who was driving, coughed lightly to signal Ai Mi to restrain herself, but Ai Mi completely ignored him.
My two younger sisters and I arrived at the entrance of Mei Hua Zoo under this tense atmosphere of Shuraba.
The main entrance of Mei Hua Zoo was decorated in a Disney style. Behind the fan-shaped plaque were pictures of cute animals such as pandas, elephants, giraffes, lions, koalas, etc. It had a miraculous effect on attracting the attention of children.
At this moment, countless families of three were chatting and laughing as they moved towards the entrance after buying tickets, but no one came out from the exit.
I didn't need to look down at my smartwatch to know that it was 9: 10 in the morning from my contact lenses. There was indeed no reason for people to leave the zoo so early.
The contact lenses indicated that the UV rays were relatively low today, so Ai Mi didn't need to use an umbrella. She only needed to apply sunscreen and she could freely move around outdoors.
But on the way, Ai Mi put her two slender legs on me and let me help her apply sunscreen. The dazzling white made it hard for me to open my eyes. Fortunately, Xiao Qin automatically helped me apply sunscreen despite Ai Mi's resistance.
"Who needs you to apply sunscreen, ah, it's itchy! Let go! You'll infect me with your flat chest! "
"Hey! You're too much to say I'm flat chest! You're clearly not that big yourself … "
"Who said that? Although I'm two years younger than you, I'm already bigger than you! If you don't believe me, let your brother touch it and see who's bigger! "
Thus the sworn sister and the real sister both looked at me, as if they wanted me to judge who was more developed.
That's enough! I'm using my left and right hands to attack the chest of the sworn sister and the real sister, and I still have to say which one is bigger. What kind of brother am I!
Fortunately, Peng TouSi drove the car to the destination in time, otherwise I really don't know how to resolve their dispute.
I bought the zoo tickets online. I exchanged a password for a physical ticket at the ticket office, then I gave one each to Peng TouSi, Xiao Qin, and Ai Mi. The group prepared to officially enter the zoo.
However, Ai Mi didn't like to hold the tickets herself, so she gave her own ticket to Peng TouSi and let him deal with the ticket inspector for her.
The ticket inspector seemed to be a young man who just graduated from university. When Xiao Qin and I walked past him, he stared at Xiao Qin for a while. When it was Ai Mi and Peng TouSi's turn, the young man's eyes widened. If Peng TouSi wasn't present, he might have directly asked Ai Mi for an autograph.
Even if she retired from the entertainment industry, she still has the beauty of an idol. It seems that bodyguards are indispensable to Ai Mi.
I suddenly realized that if one day I can let Ai Mi completely escape from Ai ShuQiao's grasp, then I will be responsible for all of Ai Mi's expenses, including her bodyguard's salary.
Peng TouSi is a bodyguard, but in reality, he and Ai Mi are like father and daughter, so he probably won't ask for too much. But I can't be too stingy and make Peng TouSi feel too shabby. Otherwise, what if one day Peng TouSi says to me: "Lin, you might as well use your body to pay your salary!"
I shook my head and put aside my random thoughts for the time being. I asked Ai Mi and Xiao Qin what animals they want to see first.
"Koalas …" Before Xiao Qin could finish her sentence, Ai Mi immediately interrupted loudly, "Panda! Of course we're going to see pandas first! In a small place like Dong Shan city, it's a waste not to go see pandas when there's a zoo with pandas! We have to go see pandas immediately! "
I didn't answer Ai Mi for the time being, but used my eyes to ask for Xiao Qin's opinion. Xiao Qin knew that I doted on Ai Mi a lot, and it wasn't a big deal, so she nodded and said:
"Pandas aren't bad, I also like pandas, so let's go see pandas first."
Five minutes later, the four of us arrived at the panda house.
Speaking of pandas, it's really a high-end, atmospheric, and hard standard in zoos. This is true in China, and it's even more true outside of China.
There was once a zoo in England that was about to close down due to poor management. In the end, they took a gamble and brought in pandas at all costs. It immediately led to a craze of tourists entering the zoo to see the pandas, and they turned their losses into profits in less than a year. A conservative estimate is that the panda's increase in ticket revenue is as high as 20 million pounds.
And the Ueno Zoo in Japan brought in two pandas from China, which earned the zoo more than 600 million yen. Every day, tourists break through the gates of the zoo like zombies just to see the "Fat Tyrant".
Relatively speaking, as the origin of pandas in China, tourists are not so fanatical about pandas. At this moment, facing the two pandas sleeping on their backs in the panda house, tourists just talk and laugh while pointing at them, and some people take photos with their mobile phones.
"Please turn off the flash." The zookeeper who maintained order said through a loudspeaker, "The flash will irritate the animals' eyes and affect their health. Thank you for your cooperation."
I used my contact lenses to adjust the focus and took a lot of photos of the pandas with my smartwatch — — the sun was already very bright, so there was no need for a flash.
Ai Mi, who was carried by Peng TouSi on his shoulder and could clearly see the pandas, crossed her arms in dissatisfaction and said with disdain:
"Why are the pandas so dirty this time? The pandas I saw in Japanese zoos were much whiter than this! Did the zookeepers not give them a good bath? "
I replied without much thought: "The rarer something is, the greater its value. Since there are more pandas in China, they probably don't take care of them. Japanese zoos' pandas are super money trees, I think their zookeepers want to lick the pandas clean with their tongues … "
