Zhuangzhuang wasn't thinking of a companion or a mate.
What it longed for was its former keeper!
It's not uncommon for keepers and animals to develop a deep bond, especially with animals raised from a young age.
But for a creature like Zhuangzhuang to become so depressed from missing its former keeper that it lost its appetite and refused to socialize...
It just goes to show that chimpanzees are highly intelligent and emotionally rich.
And Zhuangzhuang was clearly an especially affectionate and sensitive one among them.
Yang Qi sighed to himself. Looking up at the dejected Zhuangzhuang, he said comfortingly, "I understand. You miss that Two-legged Beast friend who used to take care of you, right?"
Zhuangzhuang nodded vigorously, its eyes filled with anticipation.
'Can you bring him back?'
Yang Qi pondered for a moment, not making any immediate promises.
He didn't know the situation with the former keeper.
