Chapter 503 – Man Vs Kangaroo
“Xiao Qin and I… it’s because I lost a bet, that’s why I came to the zoo with her.”
It wasn’t technically a lie since I said I would go on a date with her to get Xiao Qin to play volleyball.
“Huh, that’s dumb.” Xiong YaoYue easily believed me, “What did you bet on?”
“I bet… the math teacher wouldn’t collect homework yesterday.”
I sent Xiao Qin some glances at the same time to tell her to play along.
Xiao Qin lowered her head dejectedly and pulled on the rim of her sun visor cap, “Ye Lin classmate lost anyway…”
“You miscalculated.” Xiong YaoYue laughed, “The math teacher is currently furious because she found her husband was hiding money, so she definitely won’t be kind enough to not collect homework.”
Ai Mi was very unhappy with the fact that I had accompanied Xiao Qin to the zoo, and she cast me a side glance as if I was also hiding money.
In order to change the topic, I hurriedly asked, “Were the pandas cute?”
Ai Mi raised her spirits a little, “They are, but the zoo won’t sell me a panda…”
Of course, it’s illegal to privately own a panda in China, and how can a national treasure be sold to a foreigner? Even with Clinton’s status as the president of the United States, he was only able to exercise his presidential privileges to take his daughter to see a panda before the zoo opened.
“Hmph, what’s the big deal? Next time, I’ll make sure my mom gets me a panda. It’s fine even if it’s from the black market, but something that round and furry should belong to me.”
Xiao Qin interjected, “Pandas are actually very dangerous, sister Ai Mi, you shouldn’t raise one…”
Ai Mi glared at Xiao Qin, “Who are you calling your sister?”
Xiao Qin smiled wryly, then said, “Anyway, pandas are still bears. When my mother was a martial arts director on a panda show, there was a scene where they used a real panda. The panda attacked my mother two different times, if it was someone who didn’t know martial arts, they might have died.”
Ai Mi objected, “The panda attacked your mom because she has a bad personality. I heard that the Yellow Emperor raised a panda that was called the ‘black and white bear’. It was able to identify loyalty and when placed on the way to the courts, it would eat the traitorous ministers.”
Where did you even learn that from? During the time of the Yellow Emperor, they lived in thatched huts, there was no imperial thrones. Also, whether or not a panda eats a minister has nothing to do with loyalty, it only depends on whether they are fed properly.
“Miss, as I’ve said before, pandas aren’t suitable to be raised personally.” Peng TouSi spoke up, “Pandas eat bamboo as their staple food because they are too stupid to catch prey, in fact, they are usually very happy to eat rats if they do catch any…”
“I don’t care, I want a panda.” Ai Mi threw a tantrum at Peng TouSi, “Next time you go back to America, remember to ask mother for a panda or I won’t work anymore.”
Peng TouSi agreed and exchanged a glance with me. I guess he wasn’t even going to bother since Ai Mi had a short attention span and lost her enthusiasm quickly. She will forget all about the pandas after a while.
“By the way, Xiao Qin, thanks for covering for me last night, so I was able to stay at Miss Ai Mi’s place.”
Xiong YaoYue thanked Xiao Qin. I heard Xiao Qin gave Xiong YaoYue’s parents a phone call saying Xiong YaoYue was staying at her house and they believed it. They didn’t pursue the matter and they didn’t even ask to speak to Xiong YaoYue answer the phone. I guess carelessness can be hereditary.
“Don’t mention it, classmates should help each other.” Xiao Qin put on a radiant and innocent smile.
Suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind. Ai Mi and Xiong YaYue wore both wearing shorts, only Xiao Qin wore a skirt. Maybe it was because her skirt was made of light materials, but her skirt swayed in the wind and it looked like it was about to rise up and expose her in public.
If I was the only one present, Xiao Qin would have thought of it as a golden opportunity, but she would still feel shame in public. She quickly used her hands to hold down her skirt, but although the danger of being exposed was gone, the sun visor cap on her head was blown away and it floated up the steps.
“My hat!” Xiao Qin looked at me, as if hoping I would help her chase the hat.
With your reaction speed, you could have used a single hand to grab the hat the moment it was blown away. I think you’re doing it deliberately. I don’t know which shoujo manga you learned it from to let the boyfriend chase the hat and create memories.
What was even more irritating was that Peng TouSi watched the hat fly over his shoulder, he didn’t have any intention of stopping it… It would have been as easy as pie for you to grab the hat, and why are you winking at me, do you understand Xiao Qin’s shoujo mindset?
I thought it would have been fine to let the hat get blown away, so it would prevent her from doing the same stuff again, but Ai Mi took delight in the disaster and said: “You deserved it for going against me, even God punished you. The manservant won’t go after a lousy hat for you.”
Seeing as I didn’t move, plus her plan failed and she was also ridiculed by Ai Mi, Xiao Qin lowered her head with a pitiful look in her eyes.
I can’t help it, I hate that expression. Anyway, running is also a form of exercise, so let me help you get your hat back on the way.
I didn’t expect that I was just about to start running, Xiong YaoYue shoved the sun umbrella into my hand and say, “Help me block the sun for Miss Ai Mi.” Then she shot out like a rocket to go after Xiao Qin’s hat.
Was.. it to show gratitude to Xiao Qin or was she simply warm-hearted? In any case, I stood there at a loss holding up the sun umbrella. Peng TouSi sighed because Xiong YaoYue didn’t have the ability to make discerning judgments. Ai Mi said dissatisfied: “Move the umbrella closer this way, the sun’s hitting my shoulders. “
Since I began holding the umbrella, Xiao Qin also squeezed under the shade, taking up about half the space.
“Leave.” Ai Mi ordered, “This is my shade.”
“But Ye Lin classmate is mine.” Xiao Qin justified.
“Nonsense.” Ai Mi corrected, “The manservant belongs to me in the past, present, and future.”
“Ye Lin classmate does indeed like you.” Xiao Qin said with a smile, “But his like for you is different from his like for me…”
“Of course it’s not the same.” Ai Mi didn’t understand what Xiao Qin was referring to and interpreted it herself, “The manservant’s feelings for me are that of a servant’s love for their master. Just like how angels are loyal to God and demons are loyal to Satan.”
“If it’s just loyalty, don’t you already have Peng TouSi.” Xiao Qin pointed out.
“That… that’s not the same.” Amy suddenly stammered. Her snow-white face wasn’t exposed to the sun, but it emanated a higher temperature compared to her other areas, “Peng TouSi is old, so he might croak one day. I need a servant who can stay with me for a longer time.”
Peng TouSi was only 40. It’s sad for you to say that in front of other people, it’s a good thing he doesn’t take it to heart.
“Ye Lin classmate won’t always be with you.” Xiao Qin snickered, “He might not even be your manservant anymore in the future…”
“What did you say?” Ai Mi was infuriated, she reached out and ordered Peng TouSi, “Throw the violent girl into the cage and feed her to the pandas.”
Peng TouSi didn’t move, so Ai Mi turned to me and asked, “Manservant, why aren’t you saying anything? Do you agree with what the violent girl said?”
I couldn’t help but scratch my head.
Most of what Xiao Qin said was correct. Since my brother-sister relationship with Ai Mi will eventually be revealed, I will no longer have to call myself a manservant, but currently it’s better to build our relationship and shouldn’t add new conflicts.
So I beat around the bush and at the same time tried to shift their attention to where Xiao YaoYue ran off to get the hat.
We wouldn’t have known without looking, but we were shocked when we took a look. Xiao Qin’s hat had floated into the kangaroo enclosure! It got suck on a tree branch and Xiong YaoYue was jumping over the railings to get the hat back.
Don’t go, don’t you see the “animals in heat, it’s dangerous to trespass” warning sign? You don’t have to act like your life depends on it for Xiao Qin’s hat.
I handed the umbrella to Xiao Qin and ran towards the kangaroo area with Peng TouSi, but it was too late.
Xiong YaoYue had easily and cheerfully flipped over the railing and was tiptoeing around trying to take away the hat off the branch. There was a medium-sized kangaroo eating under the tree with its head down, you will definitely be discovered.
As expected, the kangaroo realized there was an intruder behind and immediately stood up in a boxing stance. The kangaroo is a very ferocious boxer, what’s incredible about them is that they can use the tail for support, and then use all four of their limbs to attack. At the same weight, the strength of a wild animal was seven times that of an ordinary human, so even if the kangaroo wasn’t an adult, it wasn’t an opponent Xiong YaoYue can handle.
The spectators around us immediately created a riot, some shouted “come out!” while some people rushed to contact a zookeeper, but many children were began to imitate the kangaroo’s boxing posture.
Xiong YaoYue realized the kangaroo wasn’t very large and the surrounding kangaroos wasn’t going to join in the fight, so she slightly underestimated her opponent and reached out and said.
“Get out of the way, I just want the hat that’s behind…”
Before she even finished speaking, the kangaroo hit Xiong YaoYue’s shocked face with a left hook.
Of course, Xiong YaoYue couldn’t stand it, she even forgot about the hat and began to angrily fight with the kangaroo. The girl vs kangaroo! It was a hundred times better than the fake tiger fight! Many people raised their phones to take pictures and videos, so Xiong YaoYue will definitely be on the local news tonight.
“Hurry and come out, don’t fight.” A kind-hearted uncle shouted, “You can’t beat a kangaroo.”
A young man next to him said: “How can you disregard the might of humans, the female student clearly has the upper hand.”
Peng TouSi and I wanted to go over the railing to help, but we were stopped by the zookeeper who rushed over.
“Don’t go in, or the other kangaroos might get agitated. They are really strong if they swarm you.”
The zookeeper looked like he had been beaten by a kangaroo himself and still had lingering fears.
