'A photo with me?'
Yang Qi was taken aback, looking at the girl before him. Her face was flushed red, and she avoided his gaze. He quickly understood and nodded with a smile.
"Of course."
"Thank you!" the girl with the ponytail exclaimed gratefully. She then turned and waved to a few of her friends who were gathered nearby, secretly peeking in their direction.
The other girls immediately trotted over and gathered around.
They were a little shy at first, but encouraged by Yang Qi's calm smile, they quickly relaxed. Each of them took an individual photo with Yang Qi, and then they all took a big group photo that included Xiaojiu.
Seeing that Yang Qi was good-natured and approachable, the girls didn't disperse right after the photos. Instead, they gathered around him with their lunchboxes, eating and chatting softly.
The conversation centered around Xiaojiu and Yang Qi's work as a keeper at the Zoo.
