Chapter 380 Taking Yueyue into the Delivery Room

After checking on the pandas, Fang Ye went to the lion exhibit to see how the lions were doing!

He was mainly there to check on the pregnant lioness.

Beneath the pale blue sky was a stretch of withered yellow savannah.

From a distance, he could see two lions lying next to the wall, lazily basking in the sun.

Upon Fang Ye's arrival, Qiqi roared at him majestically.

"Hey, this road is mine, and so is this tree. If you want to pass, leave some food behind!"

Kaka was dozing off, and at the sound of the roar, her ears twitched. She lifted her head with a dazed expression.

When she saw it was Fang Ye, she yawned, then laid her body back on the ground with both paws tucked under herself.

What could be more important than sleep, after all?

Fang Ye walked over and greeted them cheerily, "Good morning, lazy kitties!"

He crouched down and rubbed Kaka's mane, stroking it gently, "Sleeping so soundly, eh? All warm and toasty?"

Touching the lion's belly felt like touching a little furnace; it was very warm.

Being stroked by him, Kaka squinted sleepily, her eyes slowly closing as she stuck out her tongue, too lazy to move a muscle.

"I actually think lions can be cute?"

"Kaka is so lazy, she usually doesn't want anything but sleep. Indeed very well-behaved."

"In front of the director, the lions are all like little kittens."

Visitors were chatting outside.

Although the pandas had not been displayed yet, the news of their arrival had increased visitor numbers a lot.

Today was a weekday and the number of visitors was two to three times the usual number – such is the power of a national treasure.

The increase might not be as dramatic on the weekend, but it is estimated there should be at least a fifty-percent rise. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

Fang Ye moved over to Qiqi and smiled mischievously.

Qiqi watched him warily, What are you going to do?

Fang Ye reached out and chuckled as he rubbed Qiqi's forehead, combing back the mane from his forehead with force.

Who made Qiqi such a troublemaker?

His favorite pastime was to jump onto trucks and cooly spray a stream of urine when visitors gasped in surprise.

New visitors who'd never seen his pranks were usually startled, and some children cried, saying they hated lions.

Even though Yueyue was pregnant, her playful and lively nature hadn't changed; she lay down, grabbed Fang Ye's slipper in her mouth, and wouldn't let go, pressing down on his foot with her paw.

Fortunately, he wore a thick pair of socks. Even so, Fang Ye couldn't help but hiss and take a sharp breath, "Ouch, Yueyue stop it, let go."

He gently patted Yueyue's cheek with his hand and tapped her head with the other slipper.

The visitors found it amusing, "Shocking, the zoo director is hitting a pregnant woman in broad daylight!"

"By the way, is it considered gang violence if a pregnant woman hits someone?"

"The lions really trust the director, allowing people to touch their bellies even when they're pregnant."

Yueyue thought he was playing with her, lying on the grass belly-up, hugging Fang Ye's leg with her paws, and pretending to bite.

Fang Ye felt somewhat frustrated, "Why do you all like to hug my legs so much?"

Using the slipper to block Yueyue's mouth, he continued to stroke her head and ran his hand down her back.

After massaging her for a while, Yueyue lay on the ground, comfortably squinting her eyes.

The visitors joked from beyond the trench, "Director, the pregnant lioness is still working. Won't you give her a merit badge?"

Fang Ye laughed and replied, "I've already given her extra meat!"

Just then, the visitors gasped in surprise because Yueyue showed a fierce look, opened her mouth wide, and bit towards Fang Ye's arm.

But it was no big deal. Fang Ye sensed something was off and quickly withdrew his arm, avoiding the bite.

Pregnant lionesses are more sensitive than usual, their mood unpredictable, and their aggression much higher.

Lately, the animal keepers had been aggressively confronted by the two lionesses numerous times.

Perhaps stirred by the noise from the visitors, she suddenly became very irate.

With her mouth opened showing sharp teeth and a fierce gaze sweeping around, she seemed to suspect everyone of threatening her unborn child, a stark contrast from the playful and endearing behavior just moments ago.

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Fang Ye consoled her, using a soothing skill, only then did Yueyue close her mouth, and the fierce light in her eyes gradually faded.

She then lazily lay down on the ground again, affectionately rubbing her head against his hand.

The visitors were startled and dared not make any more noise.

Fang Ye had come today to take Yueyue into the birthing room, which was already ready with straw laid out. Qiuqiu could still be active outside for a few more days.

He patted Yueyue, signaling her to stand up and follow him.

"Yueyue, let's go."

Man and lioness gradually walked away, disappearing in the direction of the back quarters.
