All Furries Love Me!! - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 – New Employee Arrives

After having a pleasant exercise with Huang Jing, Ji Xingchun collapsed on the grass. At this moment, he finally understood why Hei Jin looked at him with pity when he promised Huang Jing.

This is not walking the dog, it’s clearly him being walked by the dog!!

When Huang Jing saw that Ji Xingchun was panting heavily, he was very considerate and said that he could carry him on his back…

To be honest, for a moment, Ji Xingchun was moved by this proposal.

But he still had his dignity, so he finally refused.

The sun was shining brightly, and the zoo’s lawn was still a bright green even in winter. It was unknown whether the director and his colleagues had used some tricks, but when Ji Xingchun sat on it, he only felt it was soft and not prickly at all.

The young man relaxed, stretched out and lay down on the grass. He put out a hand to cover his eyes. His whole body was warmed by the sun, making him feel drowsy.

Huang Jing rolled around on the grass, covered in grass debris; his light golden fur seemed to be sparkling.

Turning around and seeing that Ji Xingchun was already lying down, the big dog simply moved closer to Ji Xingchun and lay down beside him.

The soft, furry belly with body temperature was pressed against Ji Xingchun’s hand. The big yellow dog’s tail was wagging intermittently. It turned its head to look at Ji Xingchun’s profile and suddenly remembered some old stories.

Unlike most demons, Huang Jing was born outside the demon tribe’s base.

At that time, he was just a young demon dog, looking very similar to an ordinary farm dog, and was picked up by a child named Wenwen and brought home.

The initial days were also very happy. The puppy’s ignorant and chubby appearance in his infancy was very easy to please people. The family treated him very well and named him “Ah Huang”.

At that time, even Huang Jing himself thought he was just an ordinary puppy.

However, after just a few months, Huang Jing gradually grew in size and he became too big.

For ordinary people, a big dog that is almost two meters long is too scary, especially for the residents who lived in the same community as Wenwen’s family.

One day Wenwen took him out for a walk and they were bullied by the neighborhood kids.

The child was obviously about the same age as Wenwen, but he was already tall and strong, with a lot of fat on his face. When he pushed Wenwen to the ground, Huang Jing rushed over.

He didn’t bite the child, but when the child saw Huang Jing coming, he was so scared that he fell backwards and peed all over the floor.

Soon the child’s parents came to the door. They pointed at the child’s scratched hands and legs and cursed him. Wenwen’s parents apologized, and Wenwen cried and said loudly:

“It’s not Ah Huang’s fault!”

Huang Jing was hugged by his neck, and he thought quietly in his heart: Wenwen is his best master, and he would protect Wenwen all his life.

After seeing off the family, Wenwen’s parents stayed in the room for a long time.

After coming out, the mother, who had always been a germaphobe, touched Huang Jing’s head for the first time and fed him a can of fresh meat, while the father smoked several cigarettes on the balcony.

Huang Jing thought the matter was over.

The next day, after Mom sent Wenwen to school, Dad took Huang Jing into a car.

Huang Jing didn’t think too much about it. He thought it was just another ordinary family trip. He wondered why they didn’t wait for Wenwen and his mother to come back before setting off together. Then…

Then he was sent back to his hometown by his father and given to a distant relative there.

There, Huang Jing had an iron chain around his neck. The chain was very short, just enough for him to lie on the iron railing and watch the car drive away through the gap.

That night, Huang Jing bit off the chain. It was the first time he realized how sharp his teeth were.

The dog demon had a very sensitive sense of smell, so even if Huang Jing doesn’t know the way, he could follow the smell to find the community where Wenwen lives.

Huang Jing ran for an entire night to cover the distance of more than 100 kilometers. He took advantage of the time when the security guard at the gate of the community was drinking water and quietly slipped in.

The smell lingering in his nose told him that Wenwen was not far away.

When Huang Jing thought about how anxious Wenwen would be if he didn’t see him when he came back yesterday, he unconsciously quickened his pace, even though he was already very tired and hungry.

However, when he walked around a tree and saw Wenwen, the scene in front of him stunned him.
It was still that familiar figure. Wenwen had his back to Huang Jing this time, and the little boy lowered his head slightly and looked at the ground in front of him.

There, crouching, was another dog.

The dog looked very small. When standing next to Huang Jing, it was probably not even as tall as his calf. Its hair was also snow-white, short and curly.

It is delicate and cute like a doll.

The puppy wagged its tail happily and made a weak whining sound from its mouth, which sounded pitiful and cute.

Wenwen bent down, reached out and gently touched the puppy’s head.

Huang Jing left with his tail between his legs.

Later he became a stray dog, walking aimlessly in the streets and alleys. When he was hungry, he would rummage through trash cans, where humans always put a lot of food.

Because his hair was long and thick and he was very afraid of the heat in the summer, Huang Jing’s movement direction gradually began to move further and further north.

In the north, Huang Jing found his first job in his life- sled dog.

Later, he was found by Bai Wei and understood his identity…

At the demon clan registration office, the other party asked him what name he wanted to give himself. The big dog, who had already learned how to transform into a human form, thought about it and replied with a smile: “I’ll call myself Huang Jing!”

The demon who registered him glanced at him, shook his head and muttered, “Another one who mistook his fur color for his surname.”

Huang Jing blinked, he did not refute out loud, but said in his heart:

‘It’s not the yellow in “yellow”, it’s the yellow in “Ah Huang”.’

•=|=•

Coming back to his senses, the big yellow dog pressed his chin on the grass, wondering how he could have thought of something so long ago.

Now he can actually understand Wenwen’s father’s decision, but he feels a little regretful…

‘It’s a pity that I wish I could have said goodbye better at that time.’

Ji Xingchun beside him suddenly turned around, and the young man’s gentle eyes looked at him. Huang Jing blinked and thought: ‘Could it be that I was thinking too loudly and disturbed Xiao Ji’s sleep?’

Ji Xingchun found it a little funny, reached out and tapped the dog’s head, thinking: ‘You did think a little loudly, but it didn’t disturb me.’

On such a pleasant afternoon, with such nice sunshine, it would be a pity to indulge in such past events.

Ji Xingchun was a little upset to know Huang Jing’s past by chance, but he was more surprised that after all that Huang Jing had gone through, he was still so cheerful and lively, and did not even have any hatred towards humans.

Perhaps among those past events, rather than being abandoned in the countryside, he would rather remember the feeling of being stroked on the head by Wenwen and being fed snacks by Wenwen’s parents.

Huang Jing didn’t know what Ji Xingchun was thinking, he just moved closer and whispered to Xiao Ji: The lunch break is about to end.

Ji Xingchun said goodbye to Huang Jing and prepared to do his afternoon work.

However, when he walked into the park, he found that another “person” was already standing there.

The man had his back to him, so Ji Xingchun could only see that he had short snow-white hair that reached his shoulders, and next to him stood a demon that seemed somewhat unfamiliar to Ji Xingchun.

Ji Xingchun recognized that the shorter man with a less outstanding appearance was an employee of the zoo whom he had never met before. His name should be Yun Che, and the other man with eye-catching hair color should be the new intern that the director had mentioned to him before.

‘White hair, I wonder what kind of demon it is.’

Hearing the noise, the white-haired demon turned around, narrowed his eyes when his eyes fell on Ji Xingchun, and introduced himself in a proud tone:

“Bai Zichen.”

【I have to act cool, lest this human falls in love with me just because I’m so handsome!】

Hearing this, Ji Xingchun hissed. He didn’t expect to meet a demon who was even more narcissistic than the director.

‘No, the principal is not narcissistic. His original form is really cute, okay!’

As for the person in front of me…’
‘
Because of his inner voice, Ji Xingchun took a closer look at Bai Zichen’s appearance:

He had a handsome face and is indeed a handsome guy among humans, but the human forms of the demons that Ji Xingchun had seen are generally very good-looking, so Bai Zichen did not stand out among them.

Simply put, the more you see it, the less amazing it is.

Bai Zichen didn’t know what Ji Xingchun was thinking. When Ji Xingchun looked at him, he was actually comparing himself with Ji Xingchun in his mind:

【 He looks OK, but she’s not as handsome as me. I win.】

【He’s about the same height as me… No, I’m one centimeter taller than him! I win again.】

【There are grass clippings on his clothes, so messy… I still win!】

【Sure enough, this human is no match for me in any aspect! I don’t understand why Bai Wei treats him like a treasure.】

【When the live broadcast starts, those viewers will definitely like me more! Then I can tell Bai Wei to get him out.】

Ji Xingchun: ………

Well…as long as he is happy.

“If there’s nothing for me to do, I’ll leave first.” At this moment, Yun Che beside Bai Zichen suddenly spoke. He opened his mouth and yawned loudly. The dark circles under his eyes were very obvious, and the whole demon looked very tired.

Bai Zichen waved his hand and said nonchalantly: “Go away, go away. If you stay here, I will worry that you will disturb my live broadcast.”

Yun Che: “Oh.”

When he passed by Ji Xingchun, Ji Xingchun heard a cold voice coming out:

【It’s nice to be able to live as a carefree little idiot with an empty brain.】

Ji Xingchun: ‘………I didn’t realize that this colleague has such a sharp tongue in his heart.’

This was the first time Ji Xingchun saw this style of painting of the demon race, and he actually felt it was quite strange.

Most of the demons he had seen before gave him a very pure feeling. Even Director Bai Wei, who looked a bit cunning and calculating, was sincere and frank in his treatment of others.

Although the demon Bai Zichen also had the surname Bai, he gave Ji Xingchun a more human feeling.

In other words, it was the first time he saw a demon with so many complicated thoughts in his mind.

However, even though he knew that the other party wanted him to leave, Ji Xingchun still had to face it calmly. The most urgent thing was to finish the work at hand first.

Ji Xingchun took out the key and opened the gate of the park. Bai Zichen followed him. When he saw the mobile phone on the table over there, he immediately walked over, picked up the phone and asked:

“Where are you standing while I start the broadcast?”

Ji Xingchun, who was opening his locker, took out a broom in one hand and a dustpan in the other. Hearing this, he raised an eyebrow and looked at him and said, “What did you say? We are not broadcasting live now.”

Bai Zichen replied blankly: “No live broadcast? Then what should we do?”

Ji Xingchun took out another mop. Thinking of Bai Zichen’s unfailing temperament, he hesitated for a moment and handed the broom to the young man: “Of course, we have to clean the cages first. If the environment where the small animals live is not cleaned in time, they will easily get sick.”

Bai Zichen: “…Ah?”

He took the broom reluctantly, but still said, “Don’t you know that those are Demons? Demons don’t get sick easily, so what’s the point of cleaning them?”

At this time, Ji Xingchun had already walked to the faucet with a mop, turned on the water to wet the mop head, and just said: “I know, but we can’t let them live in the garbage dump, right?”

After thinking for a moment, he added: “And when the live broadcast is broadcast, the audience will see the dirty and messy cages, which will also make them question the zoo’s conditions.”

Hearing this, Bai Zichen pursed his lips unwillingly. He put down his phone and gestured with the broom in his hand.

To clean the cages, one needed to first sweep the garden with a broom to sweep away the stale feed spilled on the ground, and then mop the ground with a wet mop to remove the small dust and caked dirt.

Strictly speaking, mopping the floor is much more tiring than sweeping the floor, so Ji Xingchun gave the task of sweeping the floor to Bai Zichen. Ji Xingchun could not start until Bai Zichen finished sweeping the floor, otherwise the wet broom would make dirt everywhere.

However, looking at the other party’s sloppy movements and the way he swung the broom carelessly, Ji Xingchun, who was waiting on the side, immediately understood: this Demon must have never swept the floor before.

Although the small animals of the demon race are very clean and don’t like to produce much dust, they usually exercise a lot and are lively and active. Bai Zichen quickly swept out a pile of dust.

But when there was too much dust, it floated in the wind created by his movements. Bai Zichen swept the dust as it floated, and it seemed to form a perpetual motion cycle.

Ji Xingchun held his forehead, thinking that maybe this demon was sent here just to torment him and make him resign voluntarily…

He couldn’t help but say, “You have to bend down a little and use some force in your hands to press the broom head down, so that the dust won’t be easily raised.”

Bai Zichen glanced at him suspiciously, but still did as he was told.

Ji Xingchun comforted himself: ‘It’s okay, at least he is still somewhat obedient…right.’

At this moment, Bai Zichen was actually cursing in his heart.

Bending over all the time made him feel sore and painful. His back was at this angle when he returned to his original demon form, so why did he feel tired when doing this in human form?

Although the dust did not move around anymore, he seriously suspected that the human was deliberately torturing him! Absolutely!

He wondered when he had ever done such dirty and tiring work when he was in the tribe!

‘I really shouldn’t have been fooled by them and came to this kindergarten!’

The more Bai Zichen thought about it, the angrier he got, and his movements became heavier. As he swept, he cursed the human in his heart. When it was finally over, Ji Xingchun breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s better to be quiet now. This Demon’s vocabulary is too poor. He can only say “despicable” and “hateful” over and over again. His ears are almost callused from hearing it.

Well, finally Ji Xingchun asked Bai Zichen to put the broom back to the storage room, and then he used the mop that he had been waiting for for a long time to mop the floor neatly.

Next came the live broadcast session that Bai Zichen had been looking forward to for a long time.

Seeing Ji Xingchun take out his cell phone, Bai Zichen immediately became interested. Now it was finally the part he was good at!

Seeing how excited he was, the young man simply handed the phone to him and picked up the container of the cub’s feed himself.

After staying in the comprehensive park for a while, Ji Xingchun had become quite familiar with the small animals there. For example, the very timid red panda would even show up in front of him occasionally.

The comprehensive zoo houses not only red pandas, but also golden monkeys, golden pheasants, tufted deer and other small animals. They did not live here originally, but moved here because of Ji Xingchun.

When some outgoing little animals saw Ji Xingchun holding the feed, they came over.

A young tufted deer with a slender body and smaller than ordinary deer came over, its nose twitching and its gaze fixed on the feed box on Ji Xingchun’s back, its eyes filled with desire.

【What delicious food did humans bring over? 】

The tufted deer has a tuft of long, dark hair in the shape of a horseshoe on its head, which made its appearance look very distinctive.

This is a male deer. Although it is not yet an adult, it has young antlers with a pointed tip on its head. However, the antlers are hidden in the hair on top of its head. You can only feel the soft and moist touch when you reach out and touch them.

The little deer looked very greedy, stretching its neck. Ji Xingchun had to put his hand on its forehead to prevent it from putting its head directly into the box.

Well, the last time it did that its face got stuck in it.

【Keeper, you are here! I missed you so much!】

However, just as the little deer stood up, it was suddenly pushed away. Pearl had arrived here at some point. With her size and weight, she was the largest among the cubs, and she easily occupied the best position in front of Ji Xingchun.

Ji Xingchun smiled, reached out and patted the baby elephant’s trunk. He picked a banana from the feed box and peeled the banana.

Although they are demons, these cubs have obviously inherited the habits and instincts of animals, and Pearl particularly likes soft, sweet fruits like bananas.

However, the taste of banana peel is a bit astringent when chewed. Pearl is still young and her nose is not so flexible yet, so she often accidentally crushes the banana into banana puree.

But now she had Ji Xingchun, so she didn’t have to worry about this problem anymore!

Although Pearl took up a lot of space, some particularly agile small animals still managed to get close. When Ji Xingchun was peeling another banana, he suddenly felt a heaviness on his arm. When he turned around, he saw a small monkey with golden hair and a light blue face hanging on it.

The golden monkey cub had a kind of delicate appearance that is rare among other monkey species, and its almond-shaped black eyes looked very smart. Its two hands are tightly wrapped around Ji Xingchun’s arms, like a sticky piece of taffy.

It raised its furry little head and blinked at Ji Xingchun, with its long tail swinging behind it.

The little golden monkey did not disturb Ji Xingchun from peeling the banana. It just hung there obediently, looking around curiously with its black eyes.

【Did Xiao Ji bring anything fun today?】

This sentence was obviously spoken by it, because Ji Xingchun heard another voice:

【Don’t think about it. All humans are thinking about now is that stupid bird. They have long forgotten about us.】

Following the sound, he could see that the red panda that seemed to have not appeared is standing on the branch of the big tree next to Ji Xingchun, holding its tail and licking its fur in an enchanting posture.

But Ji Xingchun couldn’t help feeling a little guilty when he thought about how he had neglected these small animals before because he was too focused on the kestrel.

Noticing that Ji Xingchun was looking at him, the red panda licked his lips twice and said silently:

【What are you looking at? I just want to eat the apples you brought. I don’t miss you!】

As it thought this, it loosened its short claws, and its big, fluffy, brown and white striped tail suddenly dropped down.

Red Panda: !!!

Frightened by its own falling tail, the red panda jumped in place, slipped and nearly fell off the branch. Fortunately, it grabbed the branch with its front paws, but its two short legs hanging in the air could not get it back on.

Ji Xingchun: …Pfft.

Holding back his laughter, he walked over and lifted the red panda back onto the branch. The panda silently lay on the branch, trying to disguise itself as a “caterpillar”.

Well, just pretend nothing happened.

Finally, after acting cute to their heart’s content, the cubs were willing to give Ji Xingchun some breathing space. The young man remembered the live broadcast and turned around to see Bai Zichen taking a picture of himself with his mobile phone.

Ji Xingchun: ………

After a few seconds of silence, Ji Xingchun asked, “Excuse me, what are you doing?”

Bai Zichen replied in a very matter-of-fact and natural tone: “I’m live streaming!”

Ji Xingchun: ???

‘Wait a minute, if you are live streaming, you should also take pictures of these small animals, why are you pointing the camera at yourself? ?’

Bai Zichen’s thinking is actually very simple and direct, and it is also easy to understand:

He is so handsome, of course he had to take a picture of himself!

At least he didn’t understand what was so good about those little guys whose hair hadn’t even grown out yet.

Although Bai Zichen is a demon, he often surfs the Internet, so he knows that humans like to look at handsome men and beautiful women.

So is there anything wrong with filming him? Nothing wrong at all!

However, when Bai Zichen looked at the barrage, the scene that appeared was not what he imagined.

【? ? ? When I came in, I thought I had walked into the wrong live broadcast room. Who is this white-haired guy? Where is the breeder??】

【Could it be that the keeper lost his phone and someone found it?】

【To be honest, this white-haired guy is pretty handsome?】

【So what if he’s handsome? I came to the live broadcast room to suck small animals. If I wanted to see handsome guys, I would have gone to other live broadcast rooms a long time ago.】

【The person who found the phone, please return it. The keeper must be very anxious if he can’t find it.】

Bai Zichen: ………

This barrage is totally different from what they agreed on!!!
