Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1073 - 483: Chengdu Journey Nears Its End (Part 2)

As the search queen, Son Seungwan immediately started searching for information about that animal after sitting down.

"Ah! Found it, it's a red panda, a very precious animal."

"I'm so envious of that zookeeper sister just now. Maybe I'll become a zookeeper too after I retire!"

"It requires professional knowledge, you can't just decide to become one."

While chatting and laughing, Bae Juhyun was looking down at her phone, browsing through the photos she just took.

Liu Xin'an was quick; when she asked for the phone, Liu Xin'an naturally handed it to her, so during that brief interaction, she managed to capture some photos of the red panda.

"Can't we go see the red panda this afternoon?"

"It's in the plan, but I didn't expect you'd encounter it earlier."

"So soft and fluffy, I bet it feels amazing to touch."

Kang Seulgi's smile hadn't left her face all day. She felt she definitely came to the right place today, not only seeing the giant panda she had been longing for but also unexpectedly encountering the red panda, which was just as cute.

"What are we having for lunch?"

And delicious food too! Today, she was incredibly happy.

"If we're having a bamboo shoot meal... do we hold the bamboo and gnaw on it like pandas?"

"Bamboo..."

Bae Juhyun's mouth twitched slightly as she suddenly remembered that she herself resembled bamboo.

However, as no one else understood the joke, she just quietly smiled to herself, not bringing it up.

"It's processed and prepared, but we also have raw bamboo shoots prepared for everyone."

As they talked, several bamboo shoot dishes were presented one after another.

"Oh~"

The aromatic flavors floating under their noses made everyone exclaim.

After enjoying a lavish lunch and a brief tour of the exhibit, they finally arrived at the long-awaited panda interaction session.

As previously agreed, before interacting with the giant pandas, the first thing to do was to remove all the cosmetics that might harm the pandas. Afterward, Bae Juhyun and the others collectively entered the disinfection room.

Finally, after putting on protective gear and further ensuring no direct contact with the pandas, Bae Juhyun and the others, all dressed in white, officially entered the pavilion.

Kang Seulgi clung to Bae Juhyun's arm, her excitement barely contained behind the protective mask covering her little face.

Of course, the translator named Wang, who was temporarily hired to assist, also came along.

"The little one we'll be interacting with today is this little Fufu."

The zookeeper didn't need to be as fully equipped as Bae Juhyun and her friends. She reached out and picked up the little bundle in front of Bae Juhyun. The little one's cute and dazed appearance was completely different from the adult giant pandas they had seen before.

If the adult pandas were more clumsy, then this little one named Fufu was utterly adorable.

This cuteness was irresistible even for someone like Bae Juhyun, who's somewhat afraid of animals. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with excitement as she nervously and cautiously edged closer for a better view.

"So cute! How old is it?"

"Four months."

"Ah~ still a baby~"

"Do you want to touch it?"

"Can I?!"

"Of course."

With this level of protection, lightly touching it was harmless.

With permission granted, Kang Seulgi reached out eagerly, and as she carefully and gently touched the soft little creature through the protective suit, her silly grin confirmed her sheer joy.

"So soft!"

"Let me touch it too!"

Kang Seulgi's action seemed to signal, and Son Seungwan and Park Sooyoung also reached out playfully toward the adorable Fufu.

After fully enjoying the panda's texture, Kang Seulgi was even granted the honor of holding the little one in her arms.

Feeling the weight in her arms, Kang Seulgi laughed until tears came out.

For her, who had been fascinated with pandas for years, today's experience truly fulfilled a long-held dream.

Even Bae Juhyun, who had always been afraid of animals, couldn't help but gently stroke the round little creature.

The time allowed for interacting with the panda wasn't long, about 20 minutes. After fulfilling Bae Juhyun and the others' request for photos, today's panda interaction session successfully concluded.

After removing the protective gear, Bae Juhyun and the others used wet wipes to dispel the heat from their bodies, as the feeling of being enclosed in protective gear was uncomfortable, stuffy, and hot.

"Seulgi unnie, you're very happy this time, right?"

Seeing the undisguised smile on Kang Seulgi's face, Kim Yerin joked.

Kang Seulgi nodded vigorously, with a goofy smile on her face that was just as endearing as the pandas.

"It's so adorable, it would be great to have one."

"Hey, hey, hey, are you crazy? That's a bear."

"But it's a very cute panda!"

"It's still a bear!"

Son 'Emotion Discourager' Seungwan ruthlessly shattered Kang Seulgi's fantasy, and the latter sighed helplessly.

She knew it was a bear; she realized it clearly when she held the panda.

Even at only four months old, the little one was quite strong.
