The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

The program crew was very submissive. Whatever Lu Shi said was what he meant, and they would never refute it.

Before filming at Qingcheng Mountain Zoo, the director was warned not to cause trouble because the owner had a backer. He didn't know who the backer was, but didn't the director understand that their show was state-funded and the zoo also had state cooperation—wasn't that obvious?

This boss was obviously assigned to the zoo by the state. Maybe this zoo is actually owned by the state. How could he have the ability to fight against others?

Besides, they are not in the right.

"Have you seen the prohibition regulations outside the door? Does it say that you cannot have physical contact with animals?"

"I saw it, it's written..." the director apologized repeatedly.

"Lin Manman is yours. She ignored the rules and touched Tiger's head without permission, causing this situation. She will bear all the consequences. Is that okay?"

"No problem..." the director said hesitantly.

"Xiao Wen will need to go for a physical examination afterward. Will the medical expenses be paid for?"

"Yes, yes..." the director responded repeatedly.

"What about compensation for Xiao Wen and our staff's mental damages?"

"Arrangements are essential." The director wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Then does the boss have any other requests?" In front of the police, the director's attitude could not be better.

"without……"

Lu Shi glanced in one direction and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Compensate the loss of that person over there."

Everyone looked in the direction Lu Shi pointed, and there was Lu Zhao, who looked like she was about to cry herself to death.

[Lu Yingdi is the best cryer I've ever seen. No one would argue with that, right?]

[All Zhao fans give their full support!]

After all, the accident happened in her zoo, so she was partly responsible. She couldn't just ignore the person crying like that.

Lu Shi squatted down in front of Lu Zhao, her eyes and voice filled with extreme tenderness. This was her unique way of treating animals, and it should be no problem to use it to deal with this little crybaby.

"Are you still feeling unwell? Can you tell me? I'll take you for a checkup, okay?"

Lu Zhao's eyes were red from crying, and she couldn't stop crying. She even cried harder when she heard such a gentle voice, as if she would faint in the next second.

“…”Stop crying.

Lu Shi frantically pulled out a tissue to wipe his tears, and soon the tissue turned into a wet wipe...

"Hiccup, hiccup, can I hold you and hiccup?"

Before Lu Shi could react, Lu Zhao couldn't wait to move forward, as agile as a light deer. In an instant, the fresh scent of orange blossoms blew in his face, and Lu Shi was hugged tightly.

Lu Shi was surprised by the sudden closeness of a stranger, but he also thought it was normal, because small animals usually like to be touched and hugged.

"I'll take you to the infirmary. Can you get up?"

Lu Zhao looked up, tears glistening in his eyes. He pursed his lips slightly, as if he had been feeling aggrieved for a long time.

"My feet are numb."

Alas, Lu Shi picked up the person.

The sudden feeling of being suspended in the air made Lu Zhao feel as if his heart was hanging in the air and he couldn't find his footing. Fortunately, this gave Lu Zhao more reasons to hold Lu Shi tightly.

……

The people walked away, the police withdrew, and the crowd dispersed, but the live broadcast room was still very lively.

[Am I hallucinating? The baby was taken away like that? He didn't even resist.]

[Not only did he not resist, he actually took the initiative.]

[They just left like that? Directors, please follow up with the camera.]

[Can you still walk? —No, brother, my feet are numb~]

[Brother, can I hold you?]

[Family, if I'm not mistaken, we might be having a male sister-in-law.]

[I seem to have heard a horror story...]

……

On the other side, Lu Shi had already brought Lu Zhao to the infirmary, and the doctor found that there was nothing wrong after examination.

"Boss, there's nothing wrong with him. He might just be a little frightened. I'll prescribe some tranquilizers for him."

"He's still a little dehydrated, boss, remember to give him more water."

After making the diagnosis, the doctor went out to slack off again. They were in a zoo, and as a doctor who treated patients, he was completely useless here.

But this kind of life is really great!

The doctor was whistling in his office, crossing his legs, and playing games. He didn't have to slack off behind his boss's back because he was just being lazy.

Inside the infirmary, Lu Zhao drank from his cup, while Lu Shi moved a stool and sat beside the bed. They spoke to each other, but there was only silence.

There was a depressing and gloomy atmosphere all around, as if it was weighing heavily on the two of them, but they seemed not to care about it at all. Instead, they were immersed in it without feeling the slightest bit of uneasiness.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally it was Lu Shi who spoke first, breaking the silence: "Hello, I'm Lu Shi, nice to meet you. What's your name?"

The other party was silent for a moment before slowly uttering two words: "...Lu Zhao." The voice was as light as a breeze, and it was as if he had never spoken.

Lu Shi originally intended to continue chatting with Lu Zhao, but after he said this first sentence, he keenly noticed that Lu Zhao's mood gradually became depressed. That change was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Lu Shi secretly speculated in his heart, but he couldn't accurately grasp Lu Zhao's thoughts. After hesitating again and again, he didn't dare to ask rashly.

So, he decisively decided to call the program team to send someone to take care of Lu Zhao. After the program team arrived, he quietly left, leaving only a back figure that was getting farther and farther away.

Lu Shi thought he had left quietly, without a trace or a sound. However, that was not the case. Behind this seemingly calm appearance, there was someone silently watching him.

Lu Zhao has a secret hidden deep in his heart, a secret that has been with him for five years: he secretly loves someone, but the other person knows nothing about it.

Incredibly, they had only had one brief encounter.

It was a night five years ago. The young and pampered Lu Zhao hid the secret from the security guards at home and embarked on an adventurous journey alone to the top of a mountain dozens of kilometers away.

All this was because he learned from the news that there would be a Leonid meteor shower that night, which is rare in hundreds of years.

It is said that the meteor shower can be viewed most clearly from the top of the mountain, with an unobstructed view.

So, with a longing for a beautiful scene and an indescribable expectation deep in his heart, Lu Zhao resolutely embarked on this journey full of unknowns and challenges.

I was looking forward to witnessing the spectacular meteor shower with great joy, but things did not go as planned.

Not only did he fail to see the dazzling meteor across the sky as he wished, but he also encountered an unexpected predicament - he fell into a deep pit carefully dug by a hunter.
