All Furries Love Me!! - Chapter 6

Chapter 6 – The Headmaster is Upset

Then he suddenly realized— ‘why did it seem like… there were no enrichment facilities here?’

The so-called enrichment facilities were things placed in the zoo for animals to play with and relieve boredom.

It could be said that any regular zoo would have something like that.

Hei Jin was still staring at Ji Xingchun, and when he saw him suddenly stop with a frown on his face, his heart skipped a beat.

He walked over pretending nothing had happened and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ji Xingchun glanced at him and asked hesitantly, “Does the little snow leopard lack some enrichment? You said it was depressed before, I think this might have been the cause.”

Hei Jin: ‘…What is enrichment?’

Seeing that Ji Xingchun didn’t speak for a long time, Hei Jin’s heart was troubled again. At this time, a slight sound of wings flapping was heard, and a thin branch on a tree not far from Ji Xingchun sank slightly.

Two pitch-black, slender claws stood on a branch. A fluffy ball with most of its body as white as snow, except for brown and black stripes on its wings and tail feathers, sat there. At that moment, it was looking in the direction where Ji Xingchun and Hei Jin were standing.

Ji Xingchun hadn’t noticed yet, but Hei Jin had already raised his head keenly. After seeing something on the treetop, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then tilted his head slightly, as if listening to something.

A burst of crisp bird song echoed in the air.

Ji Xingchun was thinking about going to the director to report the problem, when he suddenly heard Hei Jin say, “We do have the one you’re talking about, but it happened to break down a while ago. The new one arrived only recently, so it hasn’t been installed yet.”

“Oh, I see.” Ji Xingchun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. It made sense. How could such a large zoo not even know the necessity of enrichment facilities?

After saying that, Hei Jin walked out, his steps so fast as if there were monsters chasing him.

Ji Xingchun was planning to take another look at the situation in the snow leopard’ park, but suddenly he heard a rustling sound next to his ears.

Then his shoulders sank and something fell on him.

Ji Xingchun didn’t react at first, and subconsciously thought that a leaf had fallen on him. Then he realized- ‘where are the trees around?’

Turning his head, the young man’s eyes suddenly widened. ‘This is…’

In front of his nose, a pair of small eyes as bright as black beans met his eyes.

The chubby bird glanced at him, as if it had no idea that there was a monster hundreds of times bigger than itself in front of it, and then flew off Ji Xingchun’s shoulder.

Ji Xingchun looked at the small thing that fell on the ground in front of him with fascination, and for a moment even his breathing slowed down involuntarily.

At that moment, his heart was completely overwhelmed by surprise and disbelief – how could there be a northern long-tailed tit here? !

Ji Xingchun, who had watched many animal videos online, naturally recognized this once popular little bird. But then he remembered that Anxin City was located in the south, and logically such a kind of bird should not appear here.

Moreover, the other party seemed to be completely fearless. ‘Could it be…’

‘Did this little cutie escape from its cage after being raised by someone?’

While thinking, a voice suddenly came into Ji Xingchun’s ears:

【Sure enough, I’m so cute, how could there be a human who doesn’t like me?】

Ji Xingchun lowered his head. He didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he seemed to see a smug look on the fat bird’s face.

Before he could react, a shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes.

There was only a little snow leopard squatting where the bird had been, with a tuft of black and white tail feathers sticking out from its tightly closed mouth.

Ji Xingchun: ‘!!!!!!!!!’

At this moment, silence shrouded the zoo.

Ji Xingchun froze in place, almost petrified like a sculpture.

In front of him, the little snow leopard was holding the bird in its mouth. It was completely unaware of the mental collapse of the keeper in front of it and it just raised its head with pride.

【Look! This is my first successful hunt!】

Although it had something in its mouth, it did not prevent Xuebao Er Hao from looking at Ji Xingchun with sparkling eyes.

If emotions could be visualized, then at this moment, two big words must be displayed on its face:

PRAISE ME!!

Seeing Ji Xingchun’s sluggish reaction, Xuebao Er Hao stretched out its paw and patted the keeper’s calf in dissatisfaction. Then it thought about it and suddenly felt that its clever little brain understood something.

Then Xuebao Er Hao suddenly opened its mouth and spit the bird in its mouth onto the ground.

Then Ji Xingchun saw the little snow leopard stretch out its claws and push the saliva-covered “thing” towards him as if offering a treasure.

Is this… a gift for him?

Ji Xingchun felt a mixture of joy and helplessness in his heart.

Crouching down, the young man reached out and rubbed the snow leopard cub’s head. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Thank you.”

Although he did not advocate such behavior in his heart, what did the little snow leopard know?

For cats, hunting is their nature, it’s a pity… this cute and friendly titmouse.

Ji Xingchun concealed the slight sadness in his heart, but suddenly saw something shaking out of the corner of his eye.

‘The little bird seems… not dead?!’

Ji Xingchun was stunned for a moment, and his hand movements unconsciously stopped. The little snow leopard nudged him with its head in dissatisfaction.

However, at this time Ji Xingchun had no time to care about the emotions of the snow leopard cub. He quickly held the “corpse” of the bird in his palm, not caring about the snow leopard’s saliva on it.

As he looked at it, the bird trembled, and then suddenly the whole bird turned over.

Ji Xingchun: ‘Alive!!’

Although the little tit was now covered in saliva and its feathers were disheveled, a cursory glance showed that there were no obvious wounds on its body.

‘Could it be that the little snow leopard restrained its strength, so that even though it looked scary just now, it didn’t actually hurt the tit?’

But sometimes, for small animals, in addition to wounds and illnesses, excessive external stimulation could also cause stress reactions, which could even cause their death!

To put it simply, there was a possibility that it could be scared to death.

Ji Xingchun was afraid of irritating the titmouse again, so he did not rush to check on its condition. In order to prevent the little snow leopard from attacking it again, the young man simply stood up and used his height as an advantage to increase the distance between the two small animals.

Xuebao Er Hao wagged its tail and looked at Ji Xingchun’s actions in confusion.

【Do humans also protect food?】

【Don’t worry, I don’t take back the things I give away!】

Ji Xingchun couldn’t help but laugh when he heard it.

Turning his attention back to the titmouse, Ji Xingchun was originally worried that the bird might be suffering from stress after encountering an unexpected disaster, but after a closer look, he found that the titmouse was now sitting in his palm, and the whole bird gave off an aura of doubt about its “bird” life.

Ji Xingchun:?

He tried to listen to the tit’s inner voice, but all he could hear was a long string of garbled information. It seemed that because of the complex mixture of emotions, it became unreadable.

In other words, the small bird is pretty devastated right now.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Xingchun stretched out a finger and touched its head with very light force.

As a result, he was fanned away by the tit’s wings.

Ji Xingchun: ???

As if it had finally returned to its senses, the titmouse stood up abruptly, and then it violently flapped its pair of small wings!

Because its wings were wet with saliva, it flapped its little wings so hard that sparks almost came out, but it still flew away swaying.

When the figure of the bird completely disappeared, all that was left on Ji Xingchun’s hand was a string of shiny saliva marks.

‘Um…are you really alright…?’
