Chapter 468 Variety Show Broadcast
As the show began, the Sparkling Girls boarded a black business van, waving at the camera with great anticipation and excitement.
After chatting for a while on the van, they arrived at the zoo.
Zhuang Ting saw Yang Xiaochao and Shi Xi holding hands and skipping along with beaming smiles, just like little girls from a fairytale off to pick mushrooms in the forest, which made her laugh out loud.
She felt a sense of empathy, as if she herself was visiting the zoo for fun.

"They look so happy!"
Once inside the zoo, the group couldn't agree on what to see first and decided to settle it with rock-paper-scissors.
Yang Xiaochao and Shi Xi locked eyes, their gaze filled with a spirit of competition, and raised their hands ready to play rock-paper-scissors!
The video even added special effects of red and blue auras clashing for the two of them, making it look surprisingly thrilling.@@@@
Zhuang Ting popped a dried plum into her mouth, watching the drama unfold and guessing to herself: "Yang Xiaochao is just like a koi with her super strong luck. Playing rock-paper-scissors, she's definitely the one who will win!"
Just as she was thinking this, a staff member suddenly came over and informed them that the next stop was the souvenir shop.
Many bullet comments began to tease, "Isn't the intention to advertise a bit too obvious here?"
"This blatant placement of ads is a bit annoying!"
Turns out, Yang Xiaochao voiced everyone's thoughts and even suggested that the program team should treat them to a big meal at the Lion Restaurant as compensation for the advertising!
Zhuang Ting found it amusing: "Yang Xiaochao is really a super foodie."
The Sparkling Girls entered the souvenir shop and let out gasps of amazement at the array of products!
Shi Xi picked up a panda pillow with eyes full of love, and then they all grabbed animal headbands and put them on, striking cute poses one after another.
Besides bullet comments praising how cute the girls were, many also showed interest in the merchandise from the souvenir shop!
"Wow, these headbands are so fun!"
"I want to buy one too!"
With lines like "leave a sun in your descendants, not to shine, but so we can bask in our love", Yang Xiaochao couldn't bear to look, and her "Hmmm?" was accompanied by a nasal sound effect, conjuring an image of someone with a confused expression filled with question marks, making for a full-on entertaining show.
Zhuang Ting was laughing so hard she was bending forward and back, and sent a message teasing, "These parrots are so amusing!"
"Are they really that smart? Where did they learn this from?"
"Haha, I guess they probably learned it from the couples who visit the zoo, huh?"
"I've visited the macaws at Linhai Zoo, and they are really smart. If you greet them, they reply with 'hello handsome' or 'hello beauty,' and they even add festival well wishes on holidays, like 'happy New Year,' and there is one named Jinzhi who recites classical poetry super smoothly."
"Wow, I really want to go see them in person!"
Next, a macaw flew over and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Yang Xiaochao from Sparkling Girls 404..."
Yang Xiaochao, frightened, clung to Shi Xi's arm, her face filled with fear. It was only after a prompt from a teammate that she remembered it was she who had taught the parrot that phrase and finally relaxed, laughing!
A clip was inserted from an earlier MV shoot where Yang Xiaochao was teaching the parrot to speak, along with a voiceover from Yang Xiaochao explaining her thoughts at the time:
"I already thought these parrots were too smart, and Linhai Zoo is an incredible place itself, with all sorts of legends about the Archdruid zoo director. My wild thoughts made me wonder if the parrots had become spirits, but my rational side told me that was impossible.
Hearing it utter my most frequently used self-introduction, I was truly frightened out of my wits, my legs even went a bit weak, thinking it was a ghost that could read minds. Hehe, was that a bit embarrassing."
"Haha, I knew it! It was you who taught them in the first place!"
Some netizens let their imaginations run wild: "Is it possible that this parrot actually became a spirit, pretended to be less capable, and deliberately said the wrong things so that we would think it's just a smart parrot?"
"Whoa, is that scary?"
Zhuang Ting shook her head: "How could that be..."
The silly comments from netizens were just too outlandish!
After leaving the aviary, the girls made their way to the red panda exhibit nestled in the bamboo forest.
Seeing the slow-moving red panda Mingming, and hearing the animal keeper explain that it was nearly 16 years old, equivalent to a human's 80 years, they all expressed admiration and wished Mingming a good life.
A netizen commented, "This reminds me of my grandma! My grandma adored me. I recall in my childhood during a hot summer when I had a nosebleed, my grandma, even with her difficulty walking, still climbed up and down the stairs to buy me an ice pop to eat. Now, busy with work, I haven't visited her for a long time, but she still thinks of me every year. Reflecting on this makes me feel a bit ashamed."
"Yes, towards the elderly, we really should offer more care and respect."
