I have a wildlife zoo

"Director, why don't we keep some fish in the hippopotamus exhibit? It would look so beautiful to see schools of fish swimming together with the hippos."

Fang Ye smiled and said, "Well, keeping some fish isn't a bad idea, and they could help clean the water quality.

But what hippos love to do most is to defecate in their territory, and the speed at which the fish clean couldn't possibly keep up with the speed at which they poop. If we kept fish, we couldn't change the water every day.

Especially in the summer, when bacteria and algae reproduce even faster, the water quality deteriorates more quickly. Maybe after a week, all the fish would be dead, and we can't treat them as disposable goods.

And if the water is too dirty, visitors would see it full of floating faeces and with green algae sticking to the glass, and the stench in the air. They'd be visiting while holding their noses, which would also make for a poor visiting experience. So, you see, it's possible to keep fish, but it's not very practical."

"Hahaha! I can picture it now!"

"Indeed, it wasn't a very thorough consideration."

After looking from the outside, Fang Ye entered the activity area from the behind-the-scenes area.

He called out, "Jiaojiao, Ice Cake!"

Jiaojiao lifted her upper body, cocked her head, and looked toward the direction of the voice!

She remained calmly lying on the ground, without getting up to greet him.

In the summer heat, aside from swimming, she didn't like to move much and lazily rested sprawled out like that.

Seeing Fang Ye squat down in front of her with squinting eyes, her amber eyes revealed a gentle gaze, blinking.

After locking eyes for a while, her body tilted to the side, and she slowly lay down on the ground, exposing her white, soft belly.

Looking up at Fang Ye, she tilted her head towards him again, her paws curled up in front of her.

Her message was clear: why don't you come and play with me for a bit?

Though she was a mighty tiger, her gestures gave off the feeling of a cat asking for affection.

In fact, she was being affectionate, but Jiaojiao would only show such affectionate gestures to him.

Fang Ye couldn't resist and spread his arms to pounce on her, pressing down onto Jiaojiao's body, burying his head into the fur around her neck and taking a deep breath!

Then he propped himself up and knelt on the grass, rubbing Jiaojiao's furry cheeks and neck with both hands, his eyes full of mirth: "Good girl, why are you so adorable?"

Jiaojiao, with her fur being rubbed by Fang Ye, also squinted her eyes in pleasure!

A deep engine-like roaring sound emitted from her chest, enjoying his strokes.

"Oh my, that beautiful big face, I want to rub it too!"

"This soft belly, it must be so comfy to sleep on."

"This pose is exactly like my cat at home, but huffing this feels so much more satisfying."

"Such a practiced pose for asking to be petted!"

It was time for the viewers to be envious again, as they watched Fang Ye and Jiaojiao's affectionate interaction on the live stream, feeling covetous and envious.

Jiaojiao opened her mouth for a big yawn, then turned on her side, stretching her paws out in front of her in a languid stretch.

After that, she used her paw to scratch her nose, rubbed her eyes, her actions appearing cute and clumsy.

Then she placed her head on Fang Ye's leg, enjoying the director-brand knee pillow.

Not only was Fang Ye enjoying the huff, Jiaojiao also loved to sniff Fang Ye, feeling secure and relaxed by his scent.

Under the azure sky, bright golden sunlight sprinkled on the grass, with Fang Ye smiling softly, gently rubbing Jiaojiao's ears, massaging the back of her head, while Jiaojiao squinted her eyes, her big head lazily resting on his legs.

The pond reflected the white clouds and surrounding trees, while beautiful wildflowers swayed in the breeze underneath the large trees.

For a moment, only the "whooshing" sound of flowing water could be heard, with the shimmering light on the water and the cat-tails swaying in the wind contributing to a tranquil and beautiful feeling.

"So beautiful!"

"I feel healed!"

Hu Yan watched the live stream, a smile spreading across his face as he couldn't help but relax both mentally and physically.

He had been researching to the point of dizziness and brain swelling, thinking about today's goal, he was ready to bite the bullet and start typing, but his head was buzzing, and he felt a faint pain in his temples, indicating that he was not in good shape.

He had previously seen people on Zhihu asking what to do if overtime pay was not given during holidays, and he chuckled.

Forget about the most basic weekends off, whether it's the Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, or National Day, web novel authors simply don't have holidays, not to mention overtime pay!

If you type fast, it's fine, but for those who type slowly, it's truly a headache, and the only time you can think about taking a holiday is after the book is finished.

He happened to see Fang Ye streaming and, after a thought, sent in a leave request, planning to take a day off to recover.

Seeing Ice Cake's comical appearance while slacking off, he kept laughing while feeling a bit envious!

This tiger's life was really good, slacking off openly without having to ask for anyone's permission.

Basking in the sun, swimming, slacking off, rubbing against trees, a beautiful day just passed by.

This is what life should be!

What about him? Cooped up at home every day, sitting in front of a computer screen typing on the keyboard, he even lacked the social opportunities of a programmer and was mocked by readers for his poorly written romance scenes, surely not having a girlfriend.

Nonsense, without stepping outside, how could a girlfriend possibly fall from the sky?

However, watching the interactions between Fang Ye and Jiaojiao, so warm and beautiful, he unwittingly relaxed.

In his heart, he thought that after he finished this book, he'd use the publication fee to buy a camera and visit the zoo owner's zoo for fun.

The purpose of earning money isn't for money's sake but to enjoy life better, isn't it?

Of course, writing books and spreading joy to everyone is also a very happy thing.

"Breed Birds by Mistake" donated a plane!

"7eGeNd" donated 20 rice balls!

Fang Ye glanced at Ice Cake, who was eating fish on his own at the other side, then at Jiaojiao, contemplatively.

Now that Ice Cake had slowly grown up, should he find a boyfriend for Jiaojiao?

He hadn't been in a hurry to bring in a male tiger, fearing that Ice Cake was too young and could be hurt by other males.

He gently stroked Jiaojiao's head and asked, "Jiaojiao, how about I find you a boyfriend?"

Jiaojiao looked at him, tilting her head in confusion. What's a boyfriend? Can you eat it?

The netizens, on the other hand, got excited: "Do you even need to search, Zookeeper? Aren't you Jiaojiao's boyfriend?"

"A tiger mom isn't bad, oh! But I like snakes better, a tail is a bit sexier!"

"I think a red-crowned crane mom would definitely be beautiful! Dressed in white."

"The Fox Faction firmly opposes! If the zookeeper marries Jiaojiao, what about Xiaoqiao?"

"Then marry them both!"

"You all have such weird fantasies!"

Fang Ye looked at the barrage with a blank expression: "Damn, what the hell is all this!"

Lan Li, who usually didn't talk much during live streams, couldn't hold back any longer: "I'm the zookeeper's official girlfriend, alright! Even if Jiaojiao became a tiger lady, I would not approve!"

Hearing Lan Li call her name, Jiaojiao turned her head and lazily opened her mouth: "Roar!"

Lan Li jumped back with a shiver, quickly bringing her hands together in apology: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

She felt Jiaojiao was very intelligent, and maybe she really understood?

"Hahahahaha!!"

"Zookeeper, your little girlfriend is too cute."
