The front desk just told him that the room was full tonight, and if he wanted to change the room, he could only change it to tomorrow night.
They are all preparing to return to Tanzhou tomorrow night.
"ah?!"
Wang Yuelan, who followed him out and was waiting beside him, exclaimed when he heard this.
Li Shi looked at her quietly and said nothing.
Wang Yuelan lowered her head and quickly figured out as if she was resigned to her fate. She encountered a special situation today. Teacher Li also called just now to ask. She had no choice but to propose this.
Just squeeze it.
Anyway, in the past two days, I often squeezed into the same sofa with Teacher Li and Qiuye to watch TV and chat, and they often had physical contact.
And Teacher Li—how could I deserve Teacher Li’s bad intentions?
He is such a handsome, rich and talented artist, and only the fairy-like Qiu Ye can match him. Those young and beautiful female models took off their clothes and stood in front of him, but he didn't... How could he compare himself to him? An older woman eight years older.
Thinking of Chen Qiuye, many pictures appeared in Wang Yuelan's mind. Her face felt feverish and her mouth began to feel dry.
She pursed her lips, making her red lips moist.
"Um."
Wang Yuelan mustered up her courage and hummed, then buried her head like an ostrich, not daring to look at Li Shi next to her.
Li Shi was a little surprised at Wang Yuelan's state. He mainly noticed that the sofa in the room was quite big, and the hotel and the zoo belonged to the same resort area. They were close and easy to come and go. Considering that he might have to continue to observe tomorrow morning and Touching Bones, so I figured I'd spend a night on the couch alone.
Anyway, it’s just for one night.
Why does my sister-in-law look like she is going to be beaten with a stick?
But he didn't think much about it. It was almost three o'clock now. The waiter had said before that the zoo would close at seven o'clock in the evening. There were only more than four hours left.
"Sister-in-law, you can rest in the hotel, and I'll go do some business first."
Li Shi called the hotel room again, asked them to send a shuttle bus, and then walked out with his bag on his back.
After walking two minutes from the hotel, you will reach the square at the entrance of the zoo.
This square is very big and crowded with people. The zoo staff dress up as various small animals and perform around, singing and dancing, which is very lively.
Li Shi looked around and found that most of the tourists were parents with children. The children were very excited in such an environment, running around and full of energy.
He suddenly saw a very impressive building on the other side of the square, with a fantasy-style appearance, and suddenly remembered that it should be another ice and snow-themed hotel in this resort.
I took out my phone, opened the APP and searched.
This hotel can reserve rooms for tonight, including deluxe double rooms and family suites.
"The price is not cheap either."
He thought for a while, and Wang Yuelan's plump figure flashed through his mind.
"Forget it, we have already checked in. If we check out, the room fee will definitely not be refunded. There is no need to bother and waste money."
Although he is not short of money, diligence and frugality are traditional Chinese virtues, and Li Shi has always abided by them.
After putting away his mobile phone and buying a ticket at the ticket office, Li Shi walked into the zoo.
On the way here, he checked out the ways to get in touch with tigers in this zoo. There were three ways in total:
The first is the most popular way for tourists to queue up and take the Carnivore Cable Car to visit. This way you can only see it from the cable car and cannot get up close.
The second is to go to a tiger-themed restaurant for dinner. There are many white tigers in the glass room for diners to visit. Although they cannot be touched directly, sometimes the tigers will interact with tourists against the glass. With only a dozen centimeters or even a few centimeters, you can observe the details of the tiger at close range.
The third option is to go to the conservation center of the education base in the hospital, where you can interact with tiger cubs and lion cubs. This is the only way to touch tigers, but you can only touch cubs as big as teddy dogs. .
The first way is to rule it out directly. When he was in Yangcheng, he had seen enough from a distance.
Walk inside, pass the "Tree of Life" in the center of the zoo, then turn right according to the map on the ticket and go straight to the education base.
Half an hour later, he finally touched the two-month-old white tiger cub at the conservation center.
"You still have to be careful when touching it. Although it is a two-month-old tiger cub, it can still be quite vicious sometimes..."
The male caregiver, who was in his twenties, held the tiger cub in his arms and reminded him kindly.
However, he soon discovered that this little white tiger, which usually showed its teeth occasionally, was particularly well-behaved in front of this tourist today. He allowed the visitor to touch it all over its body without showing its teeth once. Even if the tourist picked it up, it would not show its teeth once. Very obedient, like a docile kitten.
And this tourist looked a little weird, why he touched the tiger so seriously, as if he was studying the specimen.
Several times, the male caregiver wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.
Although this tourist looked weird, he didn't do anything to harm the tiger after all - and he paid money to touch it.
Li Shi stayed in the conservation center for a long time, and after touching all the three little white tigers that were released, he left with satisfaction under the watchful eyes of the conservation staff.
After going out, he took out his notebook from his bag, stood up and wrote, recording some insights.
Thanks to his strong arms, he was able to write very steadily while standing, and he quickly filled two pages.
After eight or nine minutes, Li Shi put away his notebook. Seeing that it was still early, he was not in a hurry to return to the hotel. After thinking about it, he went straight to the tiger-themed restaurant.
After arriving, he ordered some food casually but didn't eat it, just observing in front of the glass.
The surroundings were very lively, with many children running back and forth. Li Shi stood in such a noisy environment, but seemed to be isolated from the world. He could only see the three white tigers on the other side of the glass, carefully observing everything on them. details.
After watching for a while, he took out his sketchbook from his backpack and began to sketch the three white tigers.
This behavior immediately attracted the attention of the tourists nearby. Before long, several onlookers stood behind him. Some people saw that his painting was good and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Li Shi dragged the sketchbook with his left hand and drew with a pencil in his right hand, not caring at all.
At this time, a white tiger suddenly noticed the people gathered here. With a flying movement, it jumped over from the rockery. Its two front paws landed on the transparent glass. Its huge tiger face was only two feet away from the people here. Thirty centimeters away, it suddenly startled all the tourists except Li Shi.
Li Shi's eyes lit up!
He had been observing and was closest to the glass, so the white tiger just seemed to fly directly towards him. For a moment, he faced the tiger directly. From the tiger's grinning mouth and fierce eyes, he truly felt the majesty of the king of the forest!
That's how inspiration struck.
Li Shi didn't care that the previous sketch was not completed, so he quickly opened a new piece of sketch paper and started drawing again, preparing to capture the feelings and emotions of that moment and draw a picture of a white tiger leaping.
Take shape and compose.
One stroke after another, Li Shi was immersed in creation, and the speed of writing could not help but speed up. Before long, the shape of a flying tiger gradually appeared on the white paper.
He recalled in his mind the tiger cubs he had touched in the nursery before. Although they were far from adults, the "bone points" all over the bodies of the cubs and adult tigers were the same. If their skeletons were enlarged, they would be the same size as the adult tigers. tiger.
"The tigers in the zoo are fed fatter, and the bones are hidden in the muscles and fat, so you need to pay attention when depicting..."
The tourists watching behind him gradually realized that the tiger he painted this time was different from the tigers he sketched twice before. As details were added, the tiger on the paper became more and more realistic and looked more and more like a real tiger.
Because of this, more and more people were watching.
After Li Shi finished the painting, an old man with a big camera came over and asked: "Young man, your painting is really good. Can I take a photo of your and your painting?"
Li Shi glanced at the man, who seemed to be a retired leader, and politely refused with a smile.
He took another look at the big chubby tigers on the other side of the glass. Without looking at his paintings, he came out of the restaurant with his bag on his back, walked for a while, found a place with few people, and then opened the sketchbook.
I saw a not-so-fat beast leaping on the paper:
In the deep valley, the beasts look down on the wind.
The father eats yellow bears, and the sons eat red leopards and squirrels.
Choose meat from bears, and be willing to look at rabbits and raccoons.
In the middle of the day, when I sleep in the valley, my eyes have the power of a hundred steps.
What I drew on the paper was not the white tiger in the theme restaurant just now, but the tiger image I created by using that tiger as a model and adding my own aesthetic orientation to it!
This tiger has a perverse nature, and has the majesty and ability to eat bears and leopards raw at every turn.
Looking at the works on the sketch paper, Li Shi was satisfied and had a great sense of accomplishment.
"Just because of this sketch, my trip to Zhengzhou City was not in vain!"
"The animal sketching exercise is almost completed successfully, which is a joy to congratulate."
Li Shi smiled.
It was of course a very happy thing to take a firm step forward in his study progress. He thought about it. He had been studying so hard recently and traveled to so many places. He didn't have much fun. He basically spent all his thoughts on studying. Well, just for this intention and hard work, it is worth rewarding yourself.
"Well, let's go back to the hotel and share the joy with my sister-in-law tonight."
He closed the sketchbook, put it in his bag, took out his cell phone and checked the time. It was already past six o'clock.
Just as he was walking to the hotel, Wang Yuelan went to the bathroom to take a shower again.
This is her second time washing.
She had just walked around the yard and looked at the surrounding environment. She was a little sweaty and dusty, so she couldn't help but wash it again.
Thinking about having to squeeze in with Teacher Li at night...she couldn't bear to have any uncleanness on her body.
Li Shi returned to the hotel, got off the shuttle bus, and asked the staff, the hotel housekeeper, to help him arrange a special service that could only be found in a private courtyard - a hot spring barbecue package.
After entering the door, Wang Yuelan heard the sound and came out.
When she saw Li Shi returning into the night, she quickly asked: "Teacher Li, are you hungry? Should we go out to eat, or should we call the hotel to deliver food?"
Before, she would have never asked and would have waited for Li Shi to give her orders.
However, Chen Qiuye told her that if she wanted to be Li Shi's life assistant, she needed to be more proactive. As long as it was related to Li Shi's life, she had to grasp the details and think about and prepare everything in advance so that he could live more comfortably and study with peace of mind. and work, and be less distracted by trivial matters in life.
"I just asked the waiter to arrange a barbecue. We will have barbecue in the yard and soak in the hot spring later." After entering the house, Li Shi put down his backpack and said, "But just having barbecue is not enough. We won't be in the car at noon." How to eat well? You can eat more at night. Sister-in-law, please call and order something... Do you know how to order? "
Wang Yuelan nodded quickly: "Yes, there is a menu and ordering instructions on the desk. I have read it. You can just call and order directly."
She had nothing to do in the afternoon and almost inspected the entire room and yard.
Li Shi smiled and said, "Well, then you can call me. I'll take a shower first."
When Wang Yuelan heard this, she didn't rush to call. Instead, she first found a transparent plastic bag from the big canvas bag, which contained Li Shi's pajamas.
There were very few things in the bag, only two pairs of pajamas and two sets of changes of underwear, packed one by one in plastic bags, which she and Chen Qiuye prepared together.
She didn't know how to pay attention to these before, it was all taught by Chen Qiuye.
According to Chen Qiuye, these are the skills and details that a "good life assistant" must master.
Li Shi took his pajamas and went into the bathroom to rinse them briefly. When he came out, he found that the hotel staff had delivered all the barbecue ingredients and utensils, and Wang Yuelan was receiving them in the courtyard.
He put on his coat and walked over to take a look. The food on the trolley was quite rich, including pork belly skewers, beef skewers, mutton skewers and various meat skewers, as well as various meatballs, prawns, oysters, cuttlefish, and Although all kinds of vegetables are common ingredients, they are more diverse and have larger portions.
It looks fresh.
In addition, we also prepared beer and some low-alcohol wine.
The waiter asked, then moved the barbecue stove to the hot spring, lit charcoal inside, lit it, and politely left.
After everyone left, Wang Yuelan went to close the door, while Li Shi started baking directly.
When Wang Yuelan came back after closing the courtyard door, she took over his position. Barbecue is also a kind of cooking. Li Shi did not compete with her. After getting out of the way, he came to the hot spring pavilion next to him, took off his pajamas and pajamas, revealing his strong figure, and walked into the hot spring step by step.
The barbecue pit was placed next to it, only four or five meters away in total. Wang Yuelan naturally noticed this scene, glanced at it, and quickly looked away. After a while, she couldn't help but look up again, but at this time, Li Shi Already in the water.
The purpose of this trip to the north was completed ahead of schedule. Li Shi was in a very good mood, soaking in the hot springs and enjoying the barbecue sent by his sister-in-law from time to time. It was very comfortable.
In the middle, the hotel staff brought some more food. Li Shi came up and ate some while wearing his coat. Feeling that he hadn't soaked enough yet, he was ready to continue soaking in the pool for a while. After walking a few steps, he took off his coat and suddenly thought In such a big pond, I couldn't eat alone, so I turned around and said:
"Sister-in-law, come over and have a party together. It's quite comfortable."
Don't worry, it's only in these two days.
