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

Chapter 84 Sun Shines on the Golden Mountain
Lin Sen.

A doctoral candidate at the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Also the owner of Xue Tuan, a purebred Linqing Lion Cat.

He had been in frequent contact with Chen Nian because of Xue Tuan's weight loss.

In addition, Lin Sen himself is a serious cat lover, and he maintains a certain frequency of chatting almost every day, and he has never missed a single live stream replay.

You could say he's a die-hard fan of Chen Nian.

Therefore, when Lin Sen sees Chen Nian now, he acts more affectionately than anyone else.

He held Chen Nian's hand tightly.

"Brother Nian, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this day! I've missed you so much!"

As she spoke, she wiped her eyes, looking as if she was about to cry from excitement.

Chen Nian couldn't help but laugh: "Dr. Lin, I'm also really looking forward to today."

He wasn't offended by Lin Sen's somewhat childish straightforwardness; on the contrary, he found it particularly endearing and genuine.

After all, Chen Nian can be quite immature at times.

This is also the main reason why the two can get along so well.

After expressing his excitement, Lin Sen pulled Chen Nian aside and began introducing him to the other members of the team.

Chen Nian greeted them with a smile, her attitude humble.

Looking around, apart from him, Lin Sen, and Xia Qiyue, who were in the room, everyone else was a leader in their respective fields.

No wonder Lin Sen immediately 'targeted' him, a peer.

The team leader, Wuqiong Xiaoliang, clapped his hands at the opportune moment, his loud voice filled with laughter: "Alright, alright, everyone, you must be tired from your journey. Let's unpack our luggage and take a break! We'll get to know each other better at dinner tonight!"

Everyone laughed and agreed, then dispersed.

"See you later, Nian-ge!" Lin Sen waved goodbye energetically, easily lifting his large suitcase with one hand and also taking the slightly heavy backpack from an elderly professor next to him.

"Professor, let me do it!"

College students are so energetic!

Chen Nian looked around and found that there was nothing she needed to help with for the time being.

Xia Qiyue seems to prefer being alone.

She was still holed up in her room, focused on editing her video footage.

So, with nothing else to do, Chen Nian simply strolled away from the guesthouse and stepped onto the winding dirt path behind the house that led up the small hill.

The surrounding area is an unspoiled plateau landscape, rugged and open.

As Chen Nian crossed the hillside and her view suddenly opened up, her breath was instantly gripped tightly!

The sky seemed so close it could almost be touched, and now it was bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun, transforming it into a boundless and magnificent panorama.

In the distance, the peak of a snow-capped mountain appears and disappears amidst the rising clouds, its entire body bathed in a flowing, fiery golden light from the setting sun!

Rizhao Jinshan!

Chen Nian's mouth was slightly open.

My heart was pounding steadily and powerfully in my chest.

The magnificent yet tranquil beauty before him was like a silent hammer blow, branding itself deeply onto his heart.

Any description in language seems pale and powerless at this moment.

A strong urge to share spread wildly in Chen Nian's heart.

He wanted to share this beautiful scenery with more people!

So, Chen Nian decisively opened her phone and accessed the platform.

Start broadcasting!
—Ding! The host you follow, Chen Nianjianmao, has started broadcasting. Click to watch now!

Fans who were alerted rushed in, and the live chat instantly became active.

"Teacher Chen, you're finally back on air! I've missed you so much!"

"Has Nian arrived yet?"

"Is Professor Chen experiencing altitude sickness? It's awful!"

Chen Nian smiled and waved at the camera in response.

"Good afternoon, my dear cat lovers! I have landed safely and am now outside the guesthouse."

"Yes, I've already met Teacher Infinite Smallness in person for you. He really is quite the Tibetan fox, haha!"

After chatting for a bit, he didn't forget the purpose of starting the broadcast.

With a light swipe of the finger.

The phone camera immediately turned to the burning sky and the golden snow-capped peaks.

In an instant, the surging barrage of comments seemed to be paused.

In front of thousands of screens, countless eyes were simultaneously captivated by this unexpected and magnificent sight.

"What a nice view."

In the subway car, a young working man with a weary face stared blankly at his small mobile phone screen.

He subconsciously looked around.

He then gently touched the equally tired stranger beside him and tilted his phone screen slightly.

The other party was puzzled at first, but the moment their eyes fell on the screen, the crimson gold was reflected in their pupils.

".What a nice view."

The same sigh escaped from different mouths.

The fatigue seemed to be temporarily smoothed out by this gift that traveled across mountains and rivers!
The workers laughed.

With such a beautiful view in front of you, how could you resist sharing it with others?

Chen Nian stood quietly on the hillside, her arm steadily holding up her phone, like a bridge connecting the human world with the wonders of the landscape.

The wind whistled past my ears, carrying the unique coolness of the snow-capped mountain's edge.

Before he knew it, a slender figure quietly stood beside him.

As if sensing something, Chen Nian turned her head slightly, only to meet Xia Qiyue's clear, unmistakable eye roll.

'You didn't even tell me about this amazing discovery?' He understood the meaning in Xia Qiyue's eyes and smiled apologetically.

Xia Qiyue generously forgave him.

They were immediately immersed in the breathtaking interplay of light and shadow.

The two stood side by side, silently watching the enormous fireball on the horizon slowly sink into the embrace of the mountains, burning the sky into a deeper crimson, as if all things on earth were shrouded in a warm and sacred red veil.

Soon, this silent magnificence attracted everyone in the guesthouse.

Everyone came out of their homes and, under the same sky, looked up to admire this beautiful scene that they would remember for a lifetime!
Experts and film crew members came out of the house and gathered in the small courtyard and on the hillside. They all looked up and held their breath as they gazed at this natural wonder that they would remember for a lifetime.

The crisp 'click' of camera shutters echoed incessantly.

The team's professional photographers immediately set up their equipment to capture this fleeting gem.

With his hand on the wooden railing, Infinite Quantity squinted at the distant snow-capped peaks that were dyed gold, a smile spreading across his eyes: "Tsk, what a lucky day it is today?"

"It's desert cat cubs again, and this 'golden mountain under the sun' again."

Old Liu next to him nodded in agreement: "I've been here for so long, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a complete and breathtaking sunrise over the Golden Mountain. It's a rare sight indeed!"

At the end of their gaze, they could vaguely see two people standing side by side on the hillside.

Is Xiao Chen some kind of mascot?

Such a thought suddenly popped into the mind of the infinitesimal.

He shook his head.

Not sure, check again.

Only when the last wisp of golden-red completely disappeared, and the deep blue sky was studded with stars like scattered diamonds, did Chen Nian close the live stream amidst the fans' reluctant comments.

Then Xia Qiyue and I walked back to the guesthouse under the starlight.

It just so happened to be dinner time.

The long, rectangular Tibetan-style wooden table was covered with a brightly colored tablecloth and filled with local specialties, steaming hot and fragrant.

When the two sat down, all the team members had already arrived.

Along with their own small filming team, the twenty-two people sat around the table, and the initial awkwardness of meeting for the first time quickly melted away amidst the aroma of food and relaxed conversation.

A female photographer was sitting next to Xia Qiyue.

Her name is Gu Ying.

He was ten years older than Xia Qiyue.

Petite figure, waist-length hair, and a gentle tone.

Through a brief chat, Xia Qiyue also learned about the other party's identity.

A wildlife photographer, a specially invited photographer for the Qinghai Hoh Xil World Heritage application, he is a world-class wildlife photographer!

With such a powerful figure in front of her, Xia Qiyue couldn't care less about her social anxiety.

Its eyes shone like a kitten that had discovered a treasure!
She immediately became a fangirl and started asking Gu Ying questions about photography.

Gu Ying clearly liked this girl who had a cool and beautiful appearance but a strong inner resilience and enthusiasm. In addition, their shared interest in photography made them hit it off even more.

She shared the stories and experiences behind the scenes without reservation.

Xia Qiyue listened intently, nodding occasionally.

For a time, the two chatted happily.

Chen Nian and Lin Sen were also having a lively chat, discussing everything from Xue Tuan's latest weight loss results to the unique plants they might encounter on the plateau, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

When everyone had almost finished eating, Wuji Xiaoliang picked up his teacup, tapped it lightly on the table, and raised his voice with a smile.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me!"

The lively conversation gradually subsided, and all eyes turned to them.

"After this afternoon of getting to know each other, I believe everyone should have a basic understanding of each other's companions. Here, I want to share some joyous news."

"Today, our teacher Chen, who is also the cat language expert for this trip, helped the Cat Alliance rescue two F1 generation desert cats at noon, giving our documentary a very good start. Let's give him a round of applause!"

This news elicited surprise and approval from many experts present.

The rarity of the desert cat is self-evident.

Its rescue significance is also very important.

Chen Nian's actions certainly gave this trip a good start!

A burst of enthusiastic applause immediately filled the warm room, accompanied by sincere praise:
"Well done, Teacher Chen!"

"Well done!"

"Young man, you're impressive!"

Lin Sen's applause was the loudest; his palms were red from clapping, and his face was filled with pride, as if he had done a great service and was just short of standing up and shouting "Brother Nian is awesome!"

Faced with the enthusiasm and praise of the crowd, Chen Nian scratched the back of her head somewhat shyly.

He wore a genuine, shy smile.

"You flatter me. It was just a coincidence that I happened to be there, and I did what I could to help."

"Hey, being too modest won't do!" An elderly professor with graying temples pretended to put on a stern face, but his eyes were full of kind smiles: "Young people should have their moments of sharpness!"

"Exactly! When it's time to be proud, you have to be proud!" someone immediately chimed in with a laugh.

"Xiao Liang," another professor joked, looking at Infinite Quantity, "I think you've managed to get an extraordinary feline expert to protect you this time!"

The infinitesimal nodded solemnly and said in a serious tone.

"Yes, the old professor has a keen eye; I think that makes sense too!"

The elders' good-natured teasing brought laughter to the room, pushing the atmosphere to an even more warm and harmonious climax.

Inside, the room was brightly lit and filled with laughter and chatter, a warm and joyful gathering of like-minded people on their first meeting.

Outside, the night sky over the plateau was as deep as ink, with billions of stars silently scattered across the sky, and the brilliant Milky Way clearly visible, quietly enveloping this tranquil and magical land.

It was like a silent, grand blessing!
