MO Shu stepped forward to lighten the situation, jokingly saying, “We agreed on fair competition. How could you ask for help secretly from Miss Zookeeper, Wan Wan?”
Wan Wan playfully glared at MO Shu, not saying anything further, and continued to use bamboo to lure the giant pandas.
In the end, with the efforts of both of them, they managed to successfully entice Pipi and Dodo out of the wooden house.
Pipi and Dodo were ecstatic when they received the bamboo. They called for Bao to come out too, but Bao remained unmoved.
Just as everyone assumed that Bao was shy and unwilling to come out, Xia Xin keenly noticed something amiss. She heard the sound of a fracture coming from the wooden house, and Bao seemed to be whimpering.
Xia Xin didn’t have time to explain to the others but urgently shouted, “Move back quickly! This house seems unstable and might collapse!”
Xia Xin simultaneously herded Pipi and Dodo, not letting them get too close in case they were injured.
The director realized that something was wrong and loudly asked what was happening. Xia Xin couldn’t answer him in time, as she was more concerned about comforting Bao. She went straight into the wooden door.
The wooden house was very low, preventing her from standing up straight, and it was dim inside. Xia Xin tentatively called out for Bao, and he weakly responded, “Xia Xin, I think I can’t move.”
Hearing Bao’s words, Xia Xin felt panic rising and wondered if Bao was injured. She first comforted him, “Bao, don’t be afraid. I’m here to help you.”
Then, Xia Xin crawled closer to Bao step by step. When she got closer, she realized that a piece of wood had fallen and there wasn’t enough space for a person to crawl through. Xia Xin could only stretch out her hands with difficulty and said, “Bao, crawl over here slowly.”
Trembling with fear, Bao made a great effort to crawl towards Xia Xin. He kept going until Xia Xin held him in her arms. Only then did she notice that Bao’s fur was damp, and it seemed like he had a wound.
Xia Xin followed Bao’s fur downward and felt a wooden splinter near his buttocks. It was probably a splinter from the broken wood. She thought Bao must have accidentally sat on it, causing the injury.
At this moment, Xia Xin heard more cracking sounds from the wood, realizing that the house might collapse. She had to get out immediately.
Xia Xin didn’t have time to comfort Bao. She held him tightly and crawled out. The cracking sounds grew louder, and the wooden house collapsed just as Xia Xin was crawling out of the wooden door.
Xia Xin managed to push Bao out in time, but her left leg was pinned down by the collapsed wood.
Fortunately, the wooden house was small, and the wood wasn’t too heavy. Xia Xin’s leg was temporarily trapped, but she had a feeling that her nerves weren’t affected.
Calmly, Xia Xin directed the approaching staff to handle the situation. She said, “Send the pandas back to their enclosure and take care of them. Bao is injured; call the veterinarian to treat him.”
Pipi and Dodo, sensing that Xia Xin was injured, tried to help by pushing the wood off her. Xia Xin told them, “I’m fine. Stay back a bit so you won’t get hurt.”
Afterward, the three pandas were led away by other zookeepers. Xia Xin remained in the pile of wood until they were gone.
Wan Wan had moved away when Xia Xin told them to, and MO Shu was still on the scene, looking for any way he could assist. When the staff took the pandas away, he immediately came forward to help move the wood.
With MO Shu and the staff’s assistance, Xia Xin finally managed to crawl out. MO Shu supported her as she stood up and said, “Your leg seems quite serious. Your pants are torn.”
Xia Xin took a tentative step and felt a bit of pain in her leg. She walked with a limp and said, “It’s not too bad. I don’t think it’s broken.”
MO Shu admired Xia Xin and praised, “You’re pretty tough.”
The director arranged for Xia Xin to be taken to the hospital. The on-duty doctor looked slightly surprised when he saw Xia Xin and said, “You’re quite a regular visitor, young lady. You’re back again.”
Embarrassed, Xia Xin scratched her head and asked, “Doctor, how do you recognize me?”
The doctor said, “Last time, your boyfriend brought you here in a hurry; I thought it was some major issue. Turns out, you were just sleeping so soundly that you didn’t hear everyone calling you.’
Xia Xin became even more embarrassed. She had just accidentally fallen asleep, and now she had somehow managed to make herself familiar to the doctor..
