A genius girl with her own space

"Qiqi, you must listen to your mother. Once this matter is reported, someone will come to investigate. Don't tell the truth to anyone who asks you. They will treat you as a monster and use you for experiments." Dad also warned.

He worked in a research department and knew a bit about everything. His daughter must have an attraction to animals. Many animals had a fondness for her. That's when they realized there was something unusual about their daughter.

Sometimes they took their daughter to the park, and many dogs came up to her and played with her. They didn't notice anything different. Many stray cats also came to Qiqi. Qiqi always brought them some food. They didn't think anything of it.

This was different. A hippopotamus, capable of harming people, was so kind to Qiqi. They suddenly realized that Qiqi had a connection with animals. They wondered what it was about Qiqi that attracted animals.

They let their daughter go to her room to rest. In the living room, the two of them quietly talked about their daughter's affinity with animals since childhood. They hadn't noticed.

They warned each other not to tell anyone else about this, including their parents.

The mother came to her daughter's room and told her not to tell anyone about her affairs, including their relatives. This matter was only known to the three of them.

"Mom, don't worry! I won't be stupid enough to tell anyone my secret. Next time I encounter something like this, I will interact with the animals secretly and won't let anyone know my secret in public.

But mom, I promised the big hippo that I would go see it. Can we go and see it secretly after a long time?"

"Okay, Mom promises you, we will go see the hippos in a while." Mom promised.

After a while, her mother really took Qiqi, and the mother and daughter wore masks to see the hippopotamus again.

The hippopotamus sensed Qiqi's presence and swam over happily. Qiqi took off her mask and let the hippopotamus look at her. Then she put it back on. By the time they reached the hippo enclosure, it was almost closing time.

There are basically no people in the hippo park.

The hippo nudged Qiqi's hand with its head, and Qiqi touched its head in return. "I'm here to see you. I promised last time to come see you. After this visit, I might not be able to come see you again for a while. Take care of yourself. This is the fish I brought for you. I'll feed you."

Qiqi took out a convenient bag from her bag. There was water in it, and there were a few live fish in the water.

She untied the bag, took out a fish, and put it into the hippo's mouth. The hippo also opened its mouth wide to cooperate.

Qiqi's mother watched all this from a close distance and was still shocked. The hippopotamus was very close to Qiqi and cooperated with Qiqi's feeding.

She was happy that her daughter had such potential, but she was also worried that someone would see them and expose the matter.

She looked around to see if anyone had come here. Fortunately, no one had come here.

A week after the last incident, someone came to her home. They said they were park management staff who came to express their condolences and understand the situation.

They asked very detailed questions, asking Qiqi some questions individually. When they asked about the hippopotamus, Qiqi told them what her mother had told her. When they asked her again, she said she was scared and didn't remember anything.

Seeing they couldn't get anything out of him, these people shook their heads and left in disappointment. A few days later, two more people came and asked a detailed question, this time focusing on Qiqi and the hippopotamus. They also questioned Qiqi for a long time alone, and also asked about other small animals.

Qiqi answered all the questions according to her mother's instructions, and if she couldn't answer, she would say she didn't know.

The staff was left with no choice but to leave in shame.

The mother happily hugged her daughter and praised her for being smart. She said she would be able to solve such problems in the future.

The mother looked at her daughter feeding the hippopotamus and smiled. She had given birth to a smart daughter, and she was not ordinary. She would not worry about her daughter if she encountered a big wolf dog in the future.

Qiqi fed the fish into the hippo's mouth, and it nudged her hand with its head.

Qiqi burst into laughter. Her mother put her hand to her mouth and said "shush" to quiet her voice.

The hippopotamus also noticed Qiqi's mother's expression and put his hand to his chin, signaling her to keep her voice down.

Qiqi's mother was so surprised that her mouth opened wide. "It can understand what I say, and I can communicate with it."

This was the announcement coming from the loudspeaker. "The park is closing soon, everyone, please go outside." A loudspeaker on the tree behind them suddenly blared, startling Qiqi and her mother.

"Big Hippo, I'm leaving. I'll find time to come and see you. I can't stay with you for a long time. I'm afraid that others will know that we can communicate, which will bring danger to you and me. Bye! My hippo friend." Qiqi was reluctantly pulled away by her mother.

The hippopotamus stood up in the water, watching Qiqi and her mother walk away. It felt lost. Now it could only stay in this patch of water. Its body felt heavy, and it slowly fell into the water. It sank into the depths.

Qiqi also looked back at the hippopotamus and saw it standing up. She couldn't go back. If she ran back to see the hippopotamus, she would be locked up in the park.

She trotted after her mother, who was walking quickly in front.

"Mom, thank you for bringing me to see the hippo. Look how cute the hippo is! It is also intelligent. It knows what you mean. No other animal I have met is as smart as it." Qiqi said proudly to her mother and walked away.

The hippopotamus couldn't hear their conversation either.

The mother and daughter left the zoo quickly. Qiqi's father, who had just finished get off work, was waiting at the zoo entrance in his private car. He got out of the car and watched the crowd coming out of the zoo. He didn't see the mother and daughter.

He was a little worried that Qiqi might see the hippopotamus and refuse to come out, which would be troublesome. He paced back and forth anxiously. Fewer and fewer people were leaving the gate. He was getting anxious. He peeked in through the ticket gate.

There was no one on duty at the ticket gate, only a security guard was watching the exit and not letting anyone in.

Finally he saw the mother and daughter. He waved to them.

Qiqi also saw her father. Just as she was about to call out to him in her dream, she suddenly woke up.

Qiqi was still leaning against the ice crystal tree. She slowly sat up straight. She thought about her parents' faces. She really missed them.

She also knew that she was loved by animals in modern times. She fed the pigeons in the square. The pigeons gathered around her, hopping around even without food. For the pigeons, she brought millet and rice to feed them every week.

She was the guardian of the white doves at that time. The leaders of the square all gave her a small plaque.

It says, 'White Dove Guard'.
