Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

At six in the morning, Lu Yong stuffed the last bite of Jianbing Guozi into his mouth, and rushed into the bedroom with the plastic bag still in his hand: "Hannah! If you don't get up, the giraffes will laugh at you for staying in bed!"

Hannah was wrapped in a quilt like a silkworm pupa. When she heard this, she poked half of her face out from the gap, with the tip of her nose still pressing on the mark of the pajamas button: "Lu Yong, you are cheating! I said I would set the alarm today..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Yong poked his forehead with his fingertips, which were still warm from the pancake: "Look out the window!"

In the morning mist, the gate of Shijiazhuang Zoo looks like a gingerbread house sprinkled with icing sugar, with its red spire looming in the mist.

Hannah woke up instantly, and when she jumped out of the bed barefoot, Lu Yong quickly caught her: "Ancestor! Put on your slippers!" He took out a pair of plush rabbit slippers from behind like a magic trick, with its pink and white ears trembling.

First stop: Panda House.

"Look! It's Ermao!" Hannah screamed while holding onto the glass, as if she had discovered an alien. Lu Yong looked at the hair on his girlfriend's head and silently pointed the camera at her - the chubby panda in the picture was taking a nap while hugging a bamboo, and Hannah's eyes reflected in the glass were as bright as if they were equipped with small light bulbs.

Suddenly, Ermao turned over and revealed his furry belly. Hannah jumped up and down excitedly: "Lu Yong, take a quick photo! I can use this pose as my profile picture for three years!" Before she finished speaking, the panda keeper raised a loud speaker and shouted: "Please don't hit the glass, tourists~"

They both froze at the same time - it turned out that Hannah had jumped too hard and her palm had hit the glass.

Lu Yong's shoulders were shaking from trying to hold back his laughter. Hannah's face turned red and she turned to run, but she bumped into his arms.

Lu Yong took the opportunity to trap his girlfriend in his arms, and rubbed her hot earlobe with his nose: "In the social death scene, couples need to kiss to break the curse. Does Hannah need any service?"

The midday sun made Shihu Mountain hot. Hannah held up the strawberry ice cream she had just bought, and the cream was dripping down the cone. Lu Yong suddenly grabbed her wrist: "Don't move!" He leaned over and lightly rolled away the drop of cream with the tip of his tongue, his eyelashes almost brushing against her nose: "Don't waste food, Teacher Hannah."

"Lu Yong, you're breaking the rules!" Hannah covered her burning cheeks and stepped back, only to be met with the exclamations of the crowd. Turning her head, she saw three tiger cubs clinging to the glass like a stack of monks outside the wire fence of the white tiger area. The one on top suddenly stretched out its claws, and Hannah's sun hat was instantly hooked away, passing back and forth between the tiger cubs' claws.

"Hat! My limited edition!" Hannah stamped her feet anxiously, but Lu Yong took out his cell phone and pointed it at the tiger cub: "Come, look at the camera~" He deliberately dragged out the last word, "Whoever returns the hat, sister will buy beef jerky!"

A miracle happened! The three tiger cubs suddenly turned their heads to look at the camera. The smartest one ran over with a hat in its mouth and pressed the hat on Lu Yong's phone through the glass.

The keeper held up a megaphone and laughed, "This guy is more useful than the animal trainer!"

When Hannah tried to get the hat back, she discovered that there was a tiger paw print on the inside - Lu Yong had drawn it with lipstick while the situation was going on.

Next, the two went to see the giraffes.

"Lu Yong, you did this on purpose!" Hannah blushed as she looked at the "Giraffe Kissing Set" on the menu, but Lu Yong had already raised his phone to scan the code to pay: "The set includes hand-feeding leaves, giraffe-flavored marshmallows, and... a keeper witness service?"

Before she finished speaking, the five-meter-tall giraffe "Banban" suddenly poked its head into the restaurant window. Hannah was so scared that she almost knocked over the carrot sticks, but Lu Yong grabbed a handful of leaves and raised them high: "Banban, do you want to eat what the young lady has in your hand?" He turned his head and winked at Hannah, "Hurry up and raise it high, it's the zoo's number one foodie."

At Lu Yong's instigation, Hannah trembled and stood on tiptoe. Banban's warm breath sprayed on her palm, and when his pink tongue rolled away the leaves, Lu Yong quickly pressed the shutter - in the picture, Hannah opened her mouth and screamed, the giraffe's eyelashes almost brushed her eyelashes, and Lu Yong's smiling face was vaguely in the frame, like a cat that stole dried fish.

"Lu Yong! You lied to me!" Hannah realized it belatedly and wanted to hit him, but the keeper came over with marshmallows: "Congratulations to the two of you for winning the hidden reward - the taste of giraffe saliva is actually lychee!"

As the sunset dyed Flamingo Lake pink and purple, Hannah was squatting by the lake imitating bird calls. She was wearing a mint green dress today, with a pearl hairpin given by Lu Yong in her hair. At this moment, the evening breeze lifted the hem of her dress, making her look like an elf who had strayed into the mortal world.

"Hannah." Lu Yong suddenly knelt on one knee. Hannah was so scared that she almost fell into the lake, but she saw him take out a photo frame from his canvas bag - it contained nine Polaroid photos of the two of them at the Panda House, Lion and Tiger Mountain, and Giraffe Restaurant today. There were silly and cute conversations written on the edge of each photo with colored pen.

“Although there’s no diamond ring or rose,” Lu Yong stuffed the photo frame into her hand, his ears turning red like a flamingo, “but these stupid photos will be remembered forever: you got a double chin today because of being scared by a panda, your hat was snatched away by a tiger, your hands were licked by a giraffe…”

Hannah's tears suddenly fell on the photo frame. She realized that there was a copy of the zoo ticket on the back of each photo, starting from the day they first met, and each one was stamped with a commemorative stamp from a different venue.

"Lu Yong, you're a big liar!" She threw herself into his arms and sobbed, "We said it was just a normal date, how did it turn into a time capsule?"

When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, the city lights were lighting up one after another. Hannah pressed her face against the glass and looked at the ant-sized crowd below her: "I heard that couples who kiss at the highest point will be together forever..."

Lu Yong suddenly took out two crumpled pieces of paper: "But I think this is more reliable."

What he unfolded turned out to be an annual zoo pass, with the following words written on the back in fluorescent pen: "Lu Yong & Hannah's exclusive privileges: free admission all year round, priority feeding rights, and..."

He deliberately dragged out the last word, "In the Panda Pavilion, Lion and Tiger Mountain, Giraffe Restaurant, etc., you can ask for the right to kiss at any time."

Hannah rolled over with laughter, tears streaming down her face. "What kind of privilege is this?"

"Consider it my desire to survive." Lu Yong suddenly turned her around and rested his forehead against hers. "Hannah, I know I'm not romantic enough. I won't give you 999 roses, and I can't afford an island trip. But I can promise that I will take you to new places every weekend and turn Shijiazhuang into our love map."

The Ferris wheel just turned to the highest point, and the city neon lights exploded like fireworks in his eyes.

Hannah hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him, the sweet taste of strawberry ice cream still lingering between her lips and teeth: "Deal! But next time we have to go to the aquarium first. I want to see penguins wearing the ugly sweater you gave me!"

When the security guard was clearing the area with a flashlight, Lu Yong was carrying the sleeping Hannah towards the parking lot.

There was a flamingo feather in her hair, and she was holding an unfinished marshmallow in her hand, with suspicious sugar stains hanging at the corners of her mouth.

"Young man, your girlfriend left something behind." The old man suddenly called them over and took out a cardboard box from the duty room - inside it were three yawning tiger cub dolls, with a piece of cloth saying "Give me back my hat" sewn on each of their paws. Lu Yong was so tired of trying to hold back his laughter that he got internal injuries, but Hannah suddenly woke up: "Ahhh my limited edition peripherals!" She rushed over and hugged the cardboard box, with her hair on her head and the doll ears shaking at the same time, "Lu Yong, look! They are imitating my social dead look this morning!"

The moonlight stretched their shadows very long, long enough to wrap around the walls of the zoo.

Lu Yong suddenly said, "Hannah, do you know? Actually, the most precious surroundings today are here." He took out his mobile phone, and there were more than 300 photos saved in the album - including her double chin caused by the panda, her hideous face covered with tiger saliva, and her silly smile while holding the doll.

"These are much more valuable than annual passes." He kissed the top of her head gently. "When we become old men and women, we can sit in rocking chairs and flip through these photos and tell our grandchildren: 'Look, your grandmother was a warrior certified by the tiger!'"

Hannah buried her face in his neck and laughed, her laughter startled the night owls in the treetops.

The zoo's searchlights went out one after another, but their laughter was like stars, falling one by one into the night of Shijiazhuang.

…………

the next morning,

"Lu Yong! Is the alarm clock you ordered just for decoration?" Hannah kicked away the quilt of the homestay, and the morning breeze wrapped in mountain mist penetrated into the window frame.

She rushed into the living room with her messy hair, only to see Lu Yong stuffing his SLR camera into a waterproof backpack. There were two bottles of honey grapefruit tea in the side pockets of the backpack - the bottles had cartoon tiger stickers on them, which were the "evidence" of his escape from the zoo yesterday.

"Shh——" Lu Yong suddenly covered her mouth and pointed out the window.

Cangyan Mountain is looming in the mist, and an orange street lamp on the mountainside is slowly falling like a melted toffee.

"Five forty-seven, the best time to take photos of the sunrise." He shook out two couple jackets like a magician, with exaggerated cartoon panda heads printed on the back. "The photographer said that this will make you look better in this photogenic outfit."

Hannah stared at the pattern of a panda holding a bamboo on the clothes, and her mouth twitched: "Is the photographer you hired a panda keeper who changed his job?"

At seven o'clock, the gate of Cangyan Mountain looked like a gnawed mung bean cake, and the mossy stone steps were still stained with last night's rain. Lu Yong was squatting to adjust Hannah's hiking shoe laces when he suddenly heard a muffled laugh from above his head: "Are you two going to cosplay as Panda Couple?"

Looking up, photographer Xiao Lin, wearing a grey work vest, was chewing a pancake with three cameras hanging around his neck, looking like a Christmas tree full of fruits. When he handed over his business card, Hannah almost laughed herself to death - "Lin Xiaodao, portrait photographer, specializing in couples' stiffness when taking photos."

"Let's take a photo to enter the mountain first!" Xiaolin suddenly raised the telephoto lens. Just as Lu Yong was about to make the classic scissors hand gesture of tourists, Hannah pulled him by the arm and brought him to the stone lion. She stood on tiptoe and grabbed Lu Yong's ear, smiling with her little tiger teeth showing: "Come on, say 'This panda is going to conquer Cangyan Mountain today'!"

When the shutter sounded, Lu Yong grinned in cooperation. Xiao Lin flipped through the camera and exclaimed: "Amazing! This expression is wilder than a real panda!" He suddenly approached Hannah and said, "Miss, do you want to try to take the initiative? For example, grab your boyfriend's tie and say 'Call me daddy'?"

"Lin Xiaodao, you are tired of living!" Lu Yong pretended to grab the camera, but Hannah dragged him towards the ticket gate: "Hurry up! Once the fog clears, the fairy air of the Bridge Tower Hall will be gone!"

The Feihong Bridge of the Hanging Temple was looming in the clouds, and Hannah's mint green hairband was blown onto the vermilion railing by the mountain breeze.

She was about to jump up to reach it, but Lu Yong suddenly hugged her waist from behind and said, "Don't move. Let me be a human selfie stick."

He adjusted the GoPro's angle, and Hannah's exclamation was clearly recorded: "Lu Yong, you are cheating! This posture is like dancing tango!" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Lin suddenly came out from the bridge hole, carrying a sliding camera on his shoulder and turning 360 degrees: "Perfect! This shot can be edited into the sequel of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"

The bell of the Qiaolou Hall was suddenly blown by the wind. When Hannah turned her head, her hair brushed across Lu Yong's Adam's apple. Xiao Lin captured this moment. In the photo, Hannah's eyes were as lively as a startled deer, while Lu Yong's ears were as red as the lanterns in front of the hall. "This is called 'heart-beating sound wave resonance'." Xiao Lin put the photo in front of the two people, "Look, even the bell is cheering for you!"

Hannah suddenly dragged Lu Yong to the donation box and said, "Make a wish! I heard that couples who make a wish in the Qiaolou Hall can live together forever!" When she stood on tiptoe to put in the coin, Lu Yong stuffed the coin into her palm and said, "Make the wish for me, and I will make it come true."

Xiao Lin took the photo secretly behind the incense burner. In the photo, Hannah closed her eyes and made a wish, looking like a lily of the valley covered with dew, while Lu Yong lowered his head and gazed at her profile, so gentle that water could drip out. "This group of photos is called "Love Witnessed by God." He silently named the group of photos.

The midday sun made Hannah hide in the shade of the trees, but the red wall of the Princess Temple looked like a huge rouge box. Xiaolin suddenly took out two sets of Hanfu from his backpack: "Since we are here, it would be a waste if we don't take some ancient style photos!"

Hannah stared at the goose yellow skirt and swallowed her saliva, but Lu Yong grabbed the black skirt tightly and refused to let go: "Are you sure this dress is not borrowed from the troupe?" Having said that, when the two changed their clothes and walked out of the dressing room, Xiao Lin whistled.

"Hannah, you look just like a Tang Dynasty lady from a mural!" Xiaolin circled around Hannah and took photos. Suddenly, he handed her a round fan and said, "Come on, wink at the camera~" Hannah was about to pose coyly when Lu Yong suddenly appeared from behind with a funny bun on his head. "My lady, does your husband's look suit you?"

Xiao Lin laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back, and the shutter sounds became continuous. In one photo, Hannah hid her face with a round fan and smiled secretly, Lu Yong's wig was tilted behind his ears, and there was a half-eaten donkey roll lying at their feet - it was a "bribe" that Hannah secretly gave to Lu Yong during the photo shoot.

"This series is called 'The Princess and Her Foolish Prince Consort.'" Xiao Lin complained as he edited the photos, "Brother Lu, with your facial expressions, if you were in Hengdian, you could only play the role of a prince consort who was divorced by the princess."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the suspended plank road shone silver under the scorching sun. Hannah leaned on the slippery railing and looked down, her calves trembling. "This, this, this... is it ten times higher than the glass plank road in the zoo?"

Lu Yong suddenly squatted down: "Come up, I'll carry you over." Hannah was about to refuse, but Xiao Lin had already set up the sports camera: "Quick! This picture can win the annual couple photography gold award!"

Amid Hannah's exclamation, Lu Yong carried her on his back and stepped onto the plank road. The mountain breeze blew up her skirt, like a swaying dandelion. Lu Yong deliberately staggered every ten steps, which frightened Hannah so much that she hugged his neck tightly: "Lu Yong, you are childish!"

"This is called physical massage." Lu Yong panted and smirked, "Teacher Hannah, do you want to apply for a VIP annual card? Buy ten times and get a free screaming experience coupon."

Xiao Lin chased after him from behind, and the drone was buzzing: "Look at the camera! Now shout 'Lu Yong is the most handsome' and you can get a free meal!" Hanna buried her face in Lu Yong's shoulder and laughed, but her voice was clear and piercing through the valley: "Lu Yong is the most handsome fool in the universe!" (End of this chapter)
