NOVPUBLeaving the hospital, Wu Bin headed straight for the zoo.
Unlike the empty state it had been in before, ever since Wu Bin became the spokesperson, the zoo’s visitor traffic had picked up.
Fang Hao, as the zoo director, even poured all the revenue back into repairing and refurbishing the zoo.
In less than a month, the entire zoo looked completely renewed.
They had only just driven up to the entrance of the zoo when suddenly the driver slammed on the brakes and stopped.
"What happened?" Wu Bin asked curiously.
"It looks like there’s an animal lying on the road ahead, I’m not sure if it’s dead or alive; I’ll go check," He Bingbing said, glancing ahead.
He Bingbing opened the car door and got out, only to find a mink with a yellow pelt lying in the middle of the road, its mouth smeared with something red that looked like blood.
The viewers in the live stream discussed the scene that unfolded before them.
"Is that a mink? Its fur looks sleek and glossy, could it have escaped from the zoo?"
"You guys see the red liquid around its mouth? Oh my god, could that be blood?"
"It looks like it got hit by a car that passed by earlier, probably internal bleeding, organs might be damaged."
"So sad, the broadcast hasn’t been on long and we already see a little animal that’s been hit, that’s really bad luck."
He Bingbing also noticed the red liquid around the mink’s mouth and her kind-hearted nature immediately made her feel very sorry for it.
She walked over to the mink and said, "Little guy, where did you come from, did you escape from the zoo?"
"Don’t lie in the middle of the road, it’s so dangerous. What if someone doesn’t see you and runs you over?"
"Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll take you to the side, is that okay with you, won’t you bite me?" 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
After speaking, He Bingbing reached out a hand, grabbed the mink by its tail, and dragged it to the side of the road.
The mink looked at her with a confused face.
Its entire body remained tense.
After dragging the mink to the side, He Bingbing started to mumble again.
"Now you’re safer by the side of the road, but I’m not a veterinarian, I don’t know how to save you, can you survive on your own?"
"Should I leave you here, or should I take you to the zoo?"
"Or maybe you’ll stand up after you get better and I can take you home, how about that?"
Mink: …
It was evident that He Bingbing was a kind-hearted woman who loved small animals.
But her kind deed might not be appreciated by the mink.
Wu Bin just saw the mink open and close its mouth, and the voice of complaint came out from its mouth.
"Go home, I’m not going home. I’ll just lie here; it’s quite nice."
"Oh dear, this nagging has made my head spin."
"The person is nice, too bad she’s not mute."
"I finally succeeded in my cultivation and came out to get a title, and before I even speak, I’m subjected to this woman’s endless prattle."
"So here I am just lying in the middle of the road, bloated with food, and you turn it into a traffic accident scene?"
"Fine, let’s say you saved my life, I can’t repay you in this lifetime. Let’s wait for the next one, huh? In the next life, I’ll pester you for a lifetime, you chatterbox of a woman."
Listening to the mink’s complaints, Wu Bin couldn’t help but burst into laughter on the side.
He Bingbing looked at Wu Bin strangely.
"What are you laughing at?"
Wu Bin said with a smile, "It wasn’t hit by someone, it’s just lying on the road resting because it ate too many berries."
"Do you see those berries by the road? The red liquid on its mouth comes from those."
No sooner had Wu Bin finished speaking than the mink seized the opportunity and jumped up from the ground before scurrying away.
Watching the mink dash away, He Bingbing’s pretty face turned red.
"Regardless of whether it’s full or not, lying on the road is very dangerous."
"Anyway, let’s just say I saved its life."
After saying this, He Bingbing returned to the car, and the group continued to drive to the zoo.
They parked in the parking lot and entered through the side door to avoid causing a commotion.
Indeed, as Fang Hao had said, the zoo was very crowded today, with the pathways filled with people.
Wu Bin finally managed to squeeze into the office and immediately saw Fang Hao dressed in a monster costume.
"Director Fang, what kind of outfit is this?"
When Fang Hao saw Wu Bin, he became incredibly excited.
Holding the monster’s headpiece in one hand, he laughed and said, "Isn’t this the Ultraman event? I’m dressed as the monster, and later I’ll interact with the kids outside along with Ultraman."
Wu Bin turned his head and saw that the person dressed as Ultraman was none other than Fang Hao’s sister, Fang Ru.
After Fang Hao stood up and poured a cup of tea for Wu Bin, he said, "Wu Bin, my friend, I know you were still sick and in the hospital. I’m really sorry for calling you over at this time."
"But the crowd is just too enthusiastic, many people came specifically for you."
"So I have also prepared an Ultraman costume for you. We are planning to perform together on stage later. When the show is almost over, you can take off the headpiece and greet everyone. How does that sound?"
Fang Hao had everything ready, and he was brimming with excitement, as if he were the one celebrating.
Seeing the expectant look in Fang Hao’s eyes, Wu Bin gave a slight smile.
"Alright, I’ll go change first, and then we’ll go on stage together."
Wu Bin took the Ultraman costume and went into the next room, while Fang Hao excitedly went to arrange the program, hoping everyone could see Wu Bin’s performance at the first opportunity.
Just as Wu Bin had started to undress, Fang Ru suddenly walked in.
Seeing Wu Bin’s well-defined muscles, Fang Ru’s face immediately turned red.
Wu Bin was startled and quickly crossed his arms over his chest.
"Miss Fang, what... what is it you need?"
Fang Ru bowed deeply to Wu Bin and then began, "Wu Bin, thank you."
Wu Bin was somewhat bewildered.
"You don’t have to be so formal, Fang Ru. I really didn’t do much."
Fang Ru shook her head and said earnestly, "This zoo is my brother’s life’s work. When it almost closed down, my brother was really anxious, having to rely on sleeping pills just to get some rest at night."
"Every animal in the zoo has been carefully raised by my brother, and I even found a will in his drawer."
As she spoke, Fang Ru’s eyes began to moisten.
"At that time, my brother was prepared to take his own life. If the zoo were taken away, he would leave this world and leave me here alone."
"You were my brother’s last hope. It’s thanks to you that our zoo was able to reopen and become what it is now."
"Wu Bin, thank you for saving my brother’s life."
Fang Ru bowed deeply to Wu Bin once again.
Wu Bin’s mood turned somber.
He had not imagined that Fang Hao, who always seemed to laugh off everything, would have thoughts of suicide.
