My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

Duoduo was unusually timid.

As soon as she arrived in front of the glass case, she threw herself onto Mu Chenfeng's leg, burying her face in the folds of his trousers, her back to the snake and her eyes tightly closed.

He muttered to himself, "I can't see it, I ......"

Mu Chenfeng stumbled half a step from her sudden movement and quickly steadied himself.

He reached out and patted the back of Duoduo's head, then looked down at the "human-shaped pendant" on his lap, both amused and exasperated.

"Duoduo? You weren't like this when you were touching the lizard just now?"

"Lizards aren't as scary as snakes!!" Dodo's muffled voice came from inside his trouser leg.

Only after hearing Xiao Douzi's exclamation did she open her eyes a crack and quickly turn her head to glance at him.

Seeing that the little boy touched it once and then touched it a second time, but nothing happened after a long time.

Duoduo then mustered up her courage and gently touched it with trembling fingers.

It seems...indeed...the feel is pretty good.

It was completely different from the cold, sticky feeling she had imagined... but she was still hesitant to touch it a second time.

Then they went to the amphibian area and the fish area.

The lighting in the amphibious area was brighter than in the reptile area, but it still maintained that moist and deep atmosphere.

Several plump horned frogs squatted in a glass tank covered with moss, their cheeks puffing out.

……

The fish area features built-in aquariums, with blue lighting that bathes the entire room in the color of the ocean floor.

A group of tropical fish swam in the water, their long, translucent fins trailing behind them, their scales shimmering like flowing gold dust under the light.

The two little girls' faces were bathed in the blue light of the aquarium, making them appear shimmering blue. Xiao Douzi pressed her hand against the glass, and a clownfish swam over, circling around, its mouth opening and closing.

Duoduo watched from the side and giggled.

……

As for those arthropods—

Little Douzi peered inside from the entrance and immediately spotted a hairy tarantula; its eight legs spread out over an area larger than her entire face…

The overhead spotlights shone directly into the display case, illuminating the outline of every hair on the spider's legs with exquisite detail. The shadow cast on the artificial rock behind it was magnified several times over, making it look like a twisted monster...

She abruptly turned her face away, grabbed Lin Ye's hand, and pulled him outside, shouting in rapid succession, "Godfather, let's go, let's go, let's go—"

Duoduo was even more outrageous, hanging on Mu Chenfeng's back with her legs wrapped around her father's waist, letting out a short scream, and tugging at Mu Chenfeng's collar, urging him to hurry up.

Lin Ye didn't mind, but since Duo Duo didn't like it, he would definitely stay with her. Mu Chenfeng wasn't interested in these insects either.

The four reached an unprecedented consensus—

I got my passport stamped by a staff member at the entrance and left immediately.

Finally, they arrived at the interactive ranch.

The interactive ranch is a spacious greenhouse built to resemble a farmhouse, with a translucent white membrane roof.

Afternoon sunlight, after passing through the membrane, becomes soft, diffused light, evenly spreading throughout every inch of space.

The greenhouse has a wooden frame made of steel, and in some places, it is covered with fake grapevines and green leaves.

The air was filled with the dry, sun-kissed scent of hay mixed with the warm aroma of animal fur, which made people feel relaxed.

Upon entering, we saw two alpacas standing inside the enclosure, their necks stretched out, their two big, round eyes turning to look at the four new visitors.

One of them was pure white, with fluffy curly fur and two ears that stood straight up and would occasionally turn.

The other one was brown, its face looking as if the Creator had casually rubbed it and then forgotten to unfold it, forever frozen in a capital "囧" character, naturally carrying a melancholy temperament.

Each of them has a small brass bell hanging around its neck, which jingles as it moves.

Xiao Douzi and Duo Duo took the carrot sticks given to them by the staff and fed them.

When the alpaca saw the carrot, it immediately opened its mouth, grabbed one end of the carrot strip with its two rows of incisors, and began to crush it with a "crunching" sound.

It ate in a hurried and silly manner, its mouth constantly moving from side to side, with carrot bits falling sparsely from the corners of its mouth.

After feeding the alpacas, Xiao Douzi squatted by the fence and watched for a long time. Suddenly, he turned around, grabbed Lin Ye's hand, and made him squat down as well.

Then she leaned close to his ear and said mysteriously, "Godfather, I think that alpaca looks like Uncle Mu."

Lin Ye paused for a moment, looked up, and his gaze fell on the brown alpaca in the enclosure.

The alpaca was looking at him too.

With his head tilted to the side, his two large eyes were wide apart, with the corners of his eyes slightly downturned, and his naturally "囧" face was full of melancholy.

She was still slowly chewing the carrot that Duoduo had fed her, her chin rubbing from side to side.

He then turned to look at Mu Chenfeng, who was taking pictures of his daughter interacting with the animals.

Those slightly downturned eyes, that somewhat square face, those constantly opening and closing lips, and that inexplicable melancholy...

It can be said to be remarkably similar...

Lin Ye remained silent for two seconds.

In those two seconds, he thought of all sorts of sad memories before finally suppressing the upward curve of his lips.

Then he patted Xiao Douzi on the shoulder and said solemnly, "You've observed very well, but don't tell your Uncle Mu."

Little Douzi nodded vigorously, then made a serious gesture as if he were zipping up his mouth.

……

The live chat erupted in laughter.

[Commoner Wang Fugui: Hahahaha!! Now that the eldest princess says so, I've taken a closer look—it really does look like her!! The eyes, the mouth, the expression, it's amazing!! The more I look, the more alike she seems!!]

[Commoner Sun Qiao'er: Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter!! The First Princess has such a sharp eye! That alpaca's bitter and resentful face looks so much like that Mr. Mu!]

[Commoner Li Tiezhu: It's over, it's over! The more I look at Mr. Mu, the more he resembles that damn alpaca. There's no going back!!]

……

At the end of the interactive ranch lies a semi-open rest area.

Sunlight streamed down from above, warmly bathing the stacks of straw and rows of wooden chairs.

Little Douzi plopped down on a haystack, sinking halfway in. The haystack rustled, and the bitter scent of dry grass, mixed with a hint of sunlight, wafted over.

Duoduo sat down next to her, the two little girls shoulder to shoulder, heads close together, chatting quietly, occasionally bursting out with a low laugh.

Mu Chenfeng called over the staff, who brought over four cups of warm water. He handed one to Lin Ye, took one for himself, and had the staff take the two smaller cups to Xiao Douzi and Duo Duo.

The two children paused their conversation, each taking a small cup of warm water offered to them, and said in unison in their childish voices, "Thank you—".

The staff member, a young woman with a ponytail, was amused by their unanimous thanks and smiled gently, replying, "You're welcome, my little cuties."

After finishing his water, Xiao Douzi put the cup on the wooden chair next to him and wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

Then she suddenly turned her head and waved to Lin Ye.
