All the Furry Creatures Come To Work In My Zoo

The boy who was stepped on immediately said: “Little bird, did you hear that? You’ve been fooled again! You even brought them here, exposing my base.”

The girl in the white dress looked at Zhu Yu, her eyes slowly filling with tears, her voice choked: “Wuwu, Director Sister.”

The boy spoke again, firmly: “Don't beg her, I'm not going anywhere!”

The scene momentarily spiraled out of control. Some people shouted, some silently cried, some acted tough like social bosses. If you didn't know, you'd think you had accidentally walked into some strange film set.

“Enough, everyone be quiet!” Zhu Yu shouted, feeling a headache from the chaos between the two in front of her, making it hard to think.

The girl sniffled, blinked, and obediently closed her mouth.

But after a moment of silence, the boy started shouting even louder: ”Little bird, run! She's the one who brought people to catch us!”

Bai Shuo, doing his job as an enforcer, stepped forward with force, his voice cold: “Shut up.”

The girl was clearly a bit scared of Bai Shuo. She decisively tore off a part of her skirt, balled it up, and shoved it into the boy’s mouth, then looked up at Zhu Yu with a shy smile: “Now the dog won’t make noise.”

Her tone was almost apologetic.

The boy was furious, grunting and struggling, finally turning his head, his expression full of rage, his eyes seemingly spitting fire at Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu immediately recognized him as the boy she had seen outside the alley earlier. She asked: “Your food bag is still outside the store, aren’t you going to take it?”

The boy mumbled: “Mmm-mmm!”

From his agitated state, it didn’t seem like he wasn’t going to take it.

Remembering how the boy had run away as soon as he saw her earlier, Zhu Yu instinctively felt there was some misunderstanding. As she thought, things started to become clearer in her mind. Looking into the girl’s wet, bright eyes, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, but the possibility seemed too far-fetched. She could only say to the two of them: “You guys explain.”

·········

After the girl in the white dress explained, Zhu Yu finally understood what had happened.

Apparently, after she went out to buy water, the boy in black rushed over, calling out the little bird's name. When he saw Bai Shuo and little white bird together, without hesitation, he attacked Bai Shuo, and unsurprisingly, was easily overpowered and stepped on the ground by Bai Shuo.

The girl explained for a long time, but the boy just didn’t believe her, thinking she had been deceived.

"But I wasn't deceived," the girl said seriously to the boy. "The Director Sister is here, and our zoo is very legitimate. There are many animals inside. Today, I brought Director Sister and Bai Shuo specifically to find you. From now on, you won’t have to pick up garbage anymore."

"Director Sister, can you say something to the dog?" The girl looked at her with hopeful eyes.

Zhu Yu rubbed her temples: "Let’s not talk about him, let’s talk about you first."

The girl was confused: "Me?"

Zhu Yu: "You say you're little while bird, how can you prove it?"

If this were the old Zhu Yu, someone who hadn’t experienced anything unscientific, she would definitely think Bai Shuo and his group were just playing a prank. But now, she had grown and could accept many unscientific things. However, the idea of animals turning into humans was just so absurd that she couldn’t immediately believe it.
