Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 292 The Large Tiger Teasing Stick

The next day, Chen Nian was fully recovered!

As soon as he woke up, his mind automatically connected to the problem from last night, and even the posture was exactly the same.

What should we do?

To everyone's surprise, before Chen Nian could even go to the kindergarten director, the director came to her door on his own initiative.

Good morning, Teacher Chen!

Upon hearing the knock, Chen Nian opened the door with a surprised expression.

"The head of the kindergarten?"

Seeing Chen Nian's fully recovered appearance, the kindergarten director secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "It's so good to be young!"
"Good morning, Director." Chen Nian replied with a smile.

He was just about to discuss with the headmaster the plan to help Xue Aotian make new friends when the headmaster spoke first:
"Teacher Chen, you went to the tiger enclosure yesterday, right? I heard you played with Da Hua for quite a while!"

The principal's tone carried a hint of inquiry:

"How is Da Hua's condition? In your opinion, is there any hope for treatment?"

As one of the oldest animals in the park, Big Flower has been in poor condition, which has become a major concern for everyone in the park.

The zoo director's worries were no less than the zookeeper's.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian first shook her head.

The principal's heart sank with his movement, and a regretful expression of 'I knew it' appeared on his face.

However, Chen Nian then flashed a bright smile.

He said in a relaxed tone, "Because Big Flower isn't sick at all, so there's no question of whether it needs treatment or not."

"what?"

The head of the kindergarten was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"Not sick? But look at its mental state."

"It's just too lonely and needs a real 'companion' for company."

Chen Nian waved the oversized tiger-teasing stick he had made himself that morning—simple yet full of heartfelt sentiment.

A brightly colored, fluffy cloth strip and a small bell are tied to the end of a sturdy wooden stick.

"As long as there is companionship and interaction, its current 'psychological problems' will naturally no longer be a problem."

Chen Nian's confident smile deeply touched the kindergarten director.

Although they only spent a short time together, Chen Nian's unique affinity and communication skills, brought by her Best Body, have allowed her to understand Da Hua's inner world in a way that surpasses everyone else in the Nishino Zoo!
This understanding is not merely a superficial record of daily habits and behaviors, but rather a direct look into the heart.

Rather, it refers to the inner world of Da Hua.

Deep within Da Hua's heart lies a desolate wasteland shrouded in loneliness.

What it craves is the recognition of its kind, a companion with whom it can chase, play, and share sunshine and tranquility.

This is something that even the most dedicated human zookeeper cannot fully satisfy.

We can't expect staff to risk their lives by wearing heavy tiger skins to play dangerous games with it, can we?
That's way too dangerous!
Chen Nian, however, was different.

With the help of Best's body, he successfully made Big Flower regard him as one of their own, and thus entered Big Flower's world smoothly, becoming the only light in Big Flower's world.

Chen Nian firmly believes that all it takes is a little more time and patience!

He can guide the big flower, allowing it to regain its vitality and passion for life, and completely revitalize it!
For this reason, Chen Nian specially made the extra-large tiger-teasing stick in his hand.

I'm planning to give Da Hua a real 'teleportation' performance today!
"Okay, okay!"

The headmaster stared blankly at the pure smile on Chen Nian's face, his heart churning with emotions.

Chen Nian flicked the tiger-teasing stick.

The strips of cloth fluttered, and the bells jingled crisply.

"Would the principal like to go take a look together? It's almost time."

"Go! You're already here."

The headmaster nodded repeatedly.

He hasn't seen Chen Nian interact with Da Hua yet.

So, after calling Xia Qiyue, the three of them headed towards the tiger area together.

After entering the employee entrance, everyone heard shouts coming from the rest area.

The commotion was similar to what Chen Nian posted yesterday.

Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue exchanged a glance.

When they came in, they saw the zookeeper of the big flower squatting under the thick glass wall, just like Chen Nian had done yesterday.

Only half of its head was visible. It would peek out for a moment, calling out, and then quickly retreat back in.

Trying to imitate the game of hide-and-seek.

His movements were somewhat stiff due to his lack of practice, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat from his effort and nervousness, which glistened slightly under the light.

It looked somewhat comical.

But his expression was one of utmost seriousness and focus.

However, Big Flower was completely indifferent to zookeepers who were not "the same kind" as her.

It remained quietly lying with its back to the wall.

No matter how much the deliveryman was sweating profusely, it never turned around.

"cough"

The headmaster coughed.

The young man then realized that someone had arrived.

He stood up abruptly like a startled rabbit. His legs were numb from squatting for so long, and he staggered slightly.

His face was filled with embarrassment at being caught and a deep sense of frustration.

"Director!"

"I just wanted to interact with Da Hua."

The young man explained his actions in a weak voice.

But there was no mockery or ridicule in Chen Nian, the headmaster, or Xia Qiyue's eyes.

The principal's eyes were filled with approval.

He stepped forward, patted the young man on the shoulder forcefully, and said solemnly, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Chen Nian smiled gently at the young man: "You've worked hard, brother. Da Hua will definitely understand your efforts! Give it some more time."

"Leave the rest to me for now."

As if hearing Chen Nian's voice, Da Hua, who had been motionless, suddenly turned her head.

His expression instantly transformed into one of pure joy.

It quickly stood up and began vigorously wiping the glass with its huge, uniquely patterned feet.

The zookeeper calmed down by then.

He had come to understand that it would take time and patience to truly understand Da Hua.

He also firmly believes that one day, he will be able to become a friend recognized by Da Hua.

The young man smiled and looked at Chen Nian.

"Teacher Chen, Big Flower waited for a whole day."

The long wait has finally paid off.

Chen Nian kept her word; she was determined to do what she promised her friend.

"I'm here, everyone!"

Chen Nian walked forward gently.

Then, as if by magic, he pulled out a tiger-teasing stick from behind his back.

With a slight flick of the wrist, the brightly colored, fluffy strip of cloth at the tip of the stick bounced, and the little bell rang with a clear, melodious sound.

The commotion quickly caught Big Flower's attention.

Chen Nian chuckled upon seeing this.

"It really is a big cat!"

Taking advantage of Da Hua's distraction, Chen Nian began a simple warm-up.

After warming up, he looked at Da Hua with a fierce determination, his spirits high: "Are you ready, Da Hua!"

His response was a roar of excitement from a tiger!

Ouch! !
Thus, the great battle officially began!
The headmistress, who had initially wondered why Chen Nian needed to warm up, found her mouth agape for the next few minutes.

"My goodness!"

(Daily question: What kind of cat is this?)
