It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Ye Ning left the research institute. If he goes back now, he can still have fun with Li Yishuang and continue to be happy.
But after all, Ye Ning had just come back, and he still had many things to deal with. After all, he is not a person with sperm in his brain. He really doesn't plan to go to Li Yishuang's place tonight. He plans to buy some animal food and visit the animals from the previous Animal House. They haven't seen them for a year.
Ye Ning walked into the Animal House. He stopped in this familiar yet unfamiliar place. Just as he was one year in the future, the distance between him and the world was being shortened.
The automatic sensor door at the door opened silently, guiding him into this magical world. Instead of the strong smell left by the animals a year ago, there was a light fragrance, which seemed to be the smell of disinfectant and air freshener that had just been sprayed. Ye Ning was surprised to find that the animals here had abandoned the unpleasant smell of the wild and became cleaner and more elegant.
He stepped into this vast space, and his eyes were filled with exquisite and comfortable rooms on the first floor. Each room has its own size, customized to the animal's size and needs, and is equipped with state-of-the-art environmentally friendly equipment. The automatic cleaning robot shuttles back and forth between each room, guarding the cleanliness of the home without complaint.
A fluffy little rabbit was like a bouncing cloud, excitedly ejected from the central lawn and jumped directly into his arms. What surprised Ye Ning the most was that Rabbit waved his little fist, hit his chest naively, and said in a playful melody: "You kid, don't come see me for a year." , you must spar with me tonight!"
Rabbit's call was like dropping a stone on a calm lake, causing ripples, and the Animal House suddenly became lively. Ye Ning's old friends came out of their rooms one after another. The water-obsessed monkey slid down from the hammock, the angry bull strode out of the room, and the big orange cat gracefully jumped from the window upstairs. Their familiar faces, all filled with joy and surprise, surrounded Ye Ning in different shapes, like a luxurious animal welcome party.
And this lively atmosphere also attracted unfamiliar faces who were originally just looking out of curiosity. Some animals began to bravely look at the sudden appearance of the human being, and some jumped up at the door of their own rooms, trying to say hello to Ye Ning. The entire Animal House became like a busy market, full of laughter and laughter.
Ye Ning's eyes were filled with deep exhaustion and helplessness for the difficult journey this year. He said softly: "I have been very busy this year. I have been away from home. I came to see you as soon as I got back."
As soon as he finished speaking, his movements suddenly became relaxed. With a wave of his arm, he threw the Rabbit in his arms to the floor like an ejected bullet.
Rabbit seemed to have become accustomed to his way, bouncing easily in the air, completing an extremely skillful backflip, and skillfully planted on the soft grass. He shook his furry body, looked at Ye Ning with a naughty grin, and responded with a smile: "You're going to do this to me when you come back, right? Watch me beat you tonight!"
Ye Ning didn't listen to Rabbit's threat. He just glanced at him slightly, smiled softly, and continued: "I've been very busy recently, so I'll come see you when I have some free time. I just stopped by today and will leave in a while. .”
"How have you been this year?" Ye Ning said, squatting down and touching Daju's head.
Hearing Ye Ning's question, Daju stretched out, raised his eyelids slightly, and replied lazily: "We had a pretty good year. When Chief Yu was still alive, he often gave us food. , bringing you a drink." When he said this, the corner of his eyes did not leave Ye Ning's hand, enjoying the feeling of the touch, and a satisfied trembling sound came from his throat.
"Educate us to understand hygiene, teach us how to integrate into society and cooperate with humans." Daju stared at her crystal clear cat eyes and continued in a proud and firm tone, "We also help the leader, educate Other animals."
Ye Ning heard the words and looked at the surrounding environment. He noticed the clean and tidy rooms, the animals roaming freely, and the never-ending supply of food and water. Everything he saw proved every word Daju said. Indeed, this Animal House has become more
It was much better a year ago.
He thought of everything he saw in the city today, the humans who lived in harmony with the animals, and the animals that were slowly integrating into the crowd. A warm current surged in his heart, which strengthened his belief that he would create a world of harmonious coexistence with these animal friends.
Daju suddenly changed the topic, with obvious worry in his voice: "But a month ago, Chief Yu's condition suddenly worsened and he was admitted to the hospital. It is said that something big happened." He paused and his expression dimmed. Disappointment flashed in his eyes, "And Jiang Kaixu accepted everything. He didn't allow us to visit Chief Yu. Since then, the atmosphere here has become much more solemn. Before you came, it was no longer so lively."
This was a harmonious and happy scene, because with Da Ju’s words, the air seemed to become heavier. Ye Ning stared at it and listened to his narration quietly. The happiness in her heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by a complicated mood.
Ye Ning frowned slightly and asked, "What about the other animals? Have your lives changed as a result?" He looked around, observing the expressions of each animal, trying to find the answer in their eyes.
He saw the sullen expression of the Lost Water Monkey, the lowered head of the Raging Bull, and the willingness of Rabbit to lower his fighting stance just to be by Ye Ning's side silently. Each animal expresses its deep longing and concern for the leader in its own way.
Daju shook his head, his furry ears twitching along with it. He whispered: "There is no change. We are the same as always. We do whatever we need to do. There is no change in our daily life." Although his tone was calm, Ye Ning still looked at it. The exhaustion and helplessness hidden in his words came out.
Looking at Da Ju, Ye Ning frowned slightly. He asked with a solemn expression: "Then, did Commander Jiang Kaixu do anything to you?" This question seemed to make Da Ju a little uneasy. He hesitated and rubbed himself The little palm said: "No, Commander Chiang did not do anything to us."
However, the bright cat eyes could not conceal some doubts and vigilance. His eyelids couldn't help but flicker rapidly, as if signaling to Ye Ning that this was not a suitable place to talk. The conversation between the two of them immediately fell into silence, leaving only the suspicion lingering closely in the air.
Ye Ning understood what Da Ju meant. He didn't ask any more questions, but nodded slightly, stood up and said, "As long as everything is fine, let's go and show me how your place has become." He Suddenly feeling the deep melancholy and wariness hidden in this animal house, he knew that he needed to understand more deeply what was going on here.
With everyone's guidance, they travel through this vast animal house. They walked through every room, saw every quiet corner, and heard every silent breath. Finally, they arrived at the residence of Daju and Rabbit. It was a small, alone room, illuminated by warm light, which seemed extremely comfortable and quiet.
When Ye Ning walked through the door, he closed the door smoothly. This simple act seemed to strengthen the privacy of the room, making it more of a haven where they could temporarily stay away from the worries and stress outside.
Then Daju moved his furry ears, as if listening to the surrounding sounds. His face became more serious, and then he whispered: "Okay, no animals are following."
When Daju said this, the atmosphere in the room became more tense, as if they were waiting for something important to happen.
Ye Ning's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He searched for clues in Da Ju's eyes and lowered his voice and asked urgently: "What's wrong with Jiang Kaixu? You have to talk to him alone." His voice was like a breeze passing through the leaves, soft and nervous. In this familiar and comfortable environment, Ye Ning's nervousness seemed to be particularly prominent.
Daju looked at Ye Ning, and he also lowered his voice. His voice could almost only be transmitted through the distance between them: "I accidentally heard that he seemed to be planning a secret project, talking about what could be used efficiently. Kill the animals. And he won't let us enter the institute anymore." After he finished speaking, he paused for another second, took a deep breath, and after confirming that there were no strange sounds around him, he added: " Moreover, he placed an undercover agent in our animal home.
"
This once warm and harmonious animal home suddenly had an undercurrent, and the conversation between Ye Ning and Da Ju became even more silent. The creak of the door closing, the falling doll, and even the sound of the wind blowing became sources of inner tension for them. Daju's drooping tail and Ye Ning's clenched fists all silently expressed the tension and confusion in this scene.
At this time, they seemed to have stepped into a lake that seemed calm but had surging undercurrents. They did not dare to relax at all. They could only concentrate on talking with the smallest voice, making the relationship between them more subtle and closer. .
After hearing what Da Ju said, Ye Ning felt as heavy as lead. He understood that it seemed that Jiang Kaixu was not as determined to serve mankind as he appeared on the surface. He seemed to have some problems as Li Jingwu said. And there may be a deeper conspiracy hidden behind this. He nodded slightly and said with firm eyes, "I understand."
