The dappled sunlight filtered through the trees, casting patterns on the grass of the red panda enclosure!
There was no air conditioning outside, much hotter than in the back house.
Next to the stone den, there was a block of ice, and two chubby little red pandas were lying next to it.
Ling Ling pressed her chin against the ice, one arm resting on it, her black claws on the edge of the ice.
Half-squinting, she gazed outside, looking tired but not yet asleep, her butterfly-shaped ears twitched.
Slowly, her eyes gradually closed, and her ears turned slowly like antennas.
From facing forward, she gradually turned towards both sides, looking completely relaxed and asleep.
Ling Ling is also a very cute little red panda. When she sleeps, her cheeks puff up like buns, forming a round and chubby curve that makes people want to pinch them.
The other red panda, handsome, had his head tilted, cheeks pressed against the ice, his soft ears touching Ling Ling's ears, creating a scene of peaceful coexistence.
His eyes were wide, bright and round, his mouth slightly open, showing cute little fangs, his belly rising and falling, panting from the heat.
His pink tongue also extended to lick his mouth, looking a bit annoyed, as if saying, "It's so hot, I can't sleep!"
Nanny Ming Ming slowly walked past them from behind, having just rested on the ice for a while, now taking a leisurely stroll.
"Wow, so cute!"
"The ears pressed together are so loving, I've already taken a screenshot!"
"This is what a manly man should look at!"
"Take off the coat, it's too hot!"
"Sob, can I hug and kiss it?"
"Red pandas hugging (digging) ice!"
"Hehe, I am this ice, envy me!"
"Wow, ice!"
"Who's feeling hot, splash him! / Dog head"
"I'll go first, diabetics, step aside, don't let him have a taste of sweetness! Uremic patients, also step aside, don't scare him all at once!"
"But if you can sleep while being held by such a cute little Neng, even if you melt, you'll do it willingly!"
Fang Ye was amused by the funny comments from the netizens, they were truly talented.
Someone asked with concern, "Wouldn't the red pandas get rheumatism from lying on the ice like that?"
Fang Ye explained, "Don't worry, they won't! Red pandas have thick fur that provides good insulation, they are heat-sensitive but not cold-sensitive.
In hot weather, we need to provide them with ice to cool down, give them some food with ice, otherwise, they won't feel like coming out to play, and they might even get into fights if they're in a bad mood."
Squatting in front of the ice, he originally wanted to pinch Ling Ling's bun-like cheeks.
But suddenly, a mischievous thought arose, a sly smile playing on his lips.
He picked up a blade of grass from the side and lightly brushed it on Ling Ling's nose.
Handsome looked curiously at Fang Ye's actions, with no intention of warning.
Ling Ling, feeling hot and drowsy, squinted her eyes and slept soundly. Suddenly, she felt her nose itching!
She thought it would pass if she endured it, but it only got itchier!
Opening her eyes, she shook her head from side to side, sneezing with a puff of air, her fluffy big ears shaking uncontrollably: "Ah-choo! Ah-choo! Ah-choo!"
With the last sneeze, the white sticky snot sprayed out, hanging under her black nose!
"Hahaha! Director, you are so naughty!"
"Little Neng is angry, his image is ruined!"
"The big ears shaking back and forth, so cute."
Indeed, Ling Ling, with snot hanging, glared angrily at Fang Ye!
She grabbed Fang Ye's hand with her paws, stretched her head forward, and lightly bit down.
Of course, it was just a light bite, not too hard, or it would have torn his skin.
Her eyes seemed to be saying, how are you going to make it up to me?
Fang Ye couldn't stop laughing, "Oh, sorry sorry! It wasn't intentional!"
His left hand was held, and he used his right hand's finger to wipe Ling Ling's nose, wiping away her snot.
Not minding the dirt, to him, they were all like his own children.
Raising his hand, his gaze wandered between the grass and handsome, hesitating where to wipe it off.
With his tongue sticking out, handsome panted, looking at Fang Ye with confusion.
If he knew what he was thinking, he would surely say, "Are you polite??"
Seeing this, Lan Li quickly took out a pack of tissues from her pocket, "Let me wipe it for you!"
Fang Ye smiled, "Thank you!"
After wiping his hands, he picked up Ling Ling, and kissed her cheek with a "mua": "I'm sorry, don't be mad, here's a little compensation for you!"
Surprisingly, holding the chilled red panda felt quite comfortable!
He informed the keeper, and after a while, the keeper returned with a plate of popsicles.
Inside the popsicle, you could see frozen red, yellow, and black particles cut into small pieces.
Fang Ye picked up a popsicle and showed it to the camera, "Ta-da~ our zoo's special popsicle! This is also a must-have for summer. According to the different diets of various animals, food is frozen into ice cubes, so when animals eat, they can cool down and have fun. For example, this red panda popsicle is probably made with apples and grapes."
"Wow, it looks really good!"
He gave Ling Ling a piece, and Ling Ling's little tongue immediately licked the popsicle with a "miamiamia."
"Are you happy now?"
Fang Ye was about to pat Ling Ling's head, but she turned her head away and carried the popsicle to a corner to eat.
Helpless, he said, "Don't want to be petted, looks like she's still mad! She really holds a grudge!"
The netizens couldn't stop laughing either!
He also gave handsome a fruit popsicle, and handsome directly lay on the ice to enjoy it.
Fang Ye said, "In addition to these fruit chunks frozen, there are also juices made from vegetables and fruits that are frozen, and the colors of the ice cubes are very beautiful, with red, yellow, and green. The upgraded version includes adding particles to the juice before freezing.
Of course, eating too much ice is not good for the stomach, so we also control the number of popsicles we give them, using ice bowls with fruit, so the fruit is slightly cool, and the animals don't eat too much ice."
"So many variations!"
"I envy them, they live better than me!"
Nanny Ming Ming was given fruit in an ice bowl, and Fang Ye took the last popsicle, looking around, "Huh, where's Chestnut?"
After calling twice and not seeing her, he started searching in the red panda enclosure.
Although there were dense leaves blocking the view, a tail hanging down from a tree trunk exposed her whereabouts: "Hehe, so you're hiding here!"
Walking to the tree, he raised his head and called out, "Come down, it's time to eat popsicles!"
Chestnut was originally lying steadily on the tree trunk, but when she heard Fang Ye calling from below, she shifted her body a bit, and her head peeked out from the tree trunk.
One facing up, one looking down from the tree, big eyes staring at small eyes, a quite amusing scene.
Fang Ye shook the popsicle!
Chestnut stretched her head down and directly licked the popsicle.
Fang Ye shook his head helplessly, "You hold it yourself, should I hold it up for you all the time?"
