The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 451 Panda Adoption
With Lin Shuwen as their guide, the two soon arrived at the Infinite Hills.

Just as Lin Shuwen said, there are far fewer people here than in the places we passed before.

When the two came over, they saw the giant panda's nannies had just finished cleaning the cage.

"The pandas should be coming out soon."

As soon as Lin Shuwen finished speaking, several cages in the Infinite Hills opened, and cute pandas came out of the cages.

Luo Ming originally thought that the giant pandas in real life would not be as beautiful and cute as in the pictures on the Internet, and would most likely look dirty.

But what Luo Ming didn't expect was that these giant pandas were indeed not that clean, but this did not affect their cuteness at all.

Its fur is black and white, and its ears stand upright on its round head, which makes it look particularly funny. It has a round body, walks with its feet turned inward, and has two dark circles under its eyes, as if it never gets enough sleep. The more you look at it, the cuter it becomes.

Even the usually aloof Lin Shuwen's expression softened a bit when she looked at the furry little balls of meat in front of her.

To be honest, Lin Shuwen even wanted to go up and touch them.

"Ahem! Wenwen, I remember pandas can be adopted, right?"

Lin Shuwen was stunned at first when she heard this, then her eyes lit up.

She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Chen Sichu, who was 50 meters away from the two of them, asking her to ask if she could adopt a giant panda.

After a moment, Chen Sichu replied, "Sister Wen, I have asked. Giant pandas can be adopted. There are two prices. One is 1 yuan for one-year adoption, and the other is lifetime adoption. Theoretically, the life span of a panda in captivity is nearly 10 years, which means 25 years costs 25 million yuan."

"What can I do after adopting the child?" Lin Shuwen asked.

"Adoption does not mean taking away a giant panda. However, you can still name the giant panda during the adoption period. The adopter's information in Chinese and English will be displayed in the panda's residence. The adopter's information will be published on the official platform of the base and can be seen by visitors.

An adoption certificate will also be issued. If you have the certificate, you can enjoy VIP tour benefits for 20 people each year, free tickets, free sightseeing bus tours, and free professional explanations.

“Can I touch the panda?”

“It’s OK to have a staff member accompany you, but there’s only one chance a year.”

Lin Shuwen's mind was already occupied by the thought of touching the panda, so she continued to ask, "Chu Chu, how long does it take to submit an adoption application for a panda?"

"The park didn't say that. They just said it had to go through a preliminary review by the base. The most important review was whether the adopter had ever harmed animals."

"Chu Chu, go tell the park that Luo Ming and I want to permanently adopt two pandas and see if we can get them through a back door or something."

"Okay Sister Wen."

This time, half an hour passed before Chen Sichu replied, "Sister Wen, the park has agreed. We have two red pandas that are just one month old and can be adopted."

Lin Shuwen immediately asked Chen Sichu to handle the relevant procedures.

While Chen Sichu was completing the adoption procedures, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen had already followed the staff to the panda's nursery area.

The two of them immediately saw the two pandas lying on the small bed.

They were only slightly bigger than Lin Shuwen's handbag and looked like they were sleeping soundly.

"Boss Luo, Boss Lin, these two pandas are newly born panda cubs in our base. The one on the left is 33 days old and weighs 2.1 kg, and the one on the right is 31 days old and weighs 2.05 kg. The two giant panda cubs are one male and one female, and they are very suitable for you to adopt." The staff briefly introduced the two pandas. Hearing this, Lin Shuwen asked tentatively, "Can I touch them?"

"It's OK if you wear sterile clothing, but direct contact is not allowed. On the one hand, it is to prevent the giant panda cubs from being contaminated by the smell of strangers. On the other hand, the giant panda cubs' immune system is not fully developed. If you have direct contact with them rashly, they may get sick."

Lin Shuwen was studying biology, and she knew as soon as she heard it that the above reason was the reason why the park prevented them from having direct contact with the giant panda cubs.

As for the underdeveloped immune system, that is true, but the innate immune system of giant panda cubs is far more powerful than that of primate cubs.

When human cubs are one month old, they can be held by relatives and friends, let alone pandas.

The second reason, to put it bluntly, is to "scare" adopters into considering the safety of the panda cubs and not asking to touch them directly.

After all, the adoptive parent is the financial sponsor, so we can’t just reject the adoptive parent’s request to touch the panda, right?
Lin Shuwen naturally expressed her understanding of this. She and Luo Ming put on sterile clothing and entered the room. They looked at the two little guys up close and took a few photos.

Lin Shuwen also touched the heads of the two little ones with her hands wearing sterile gloves.

There was actually no feeling when wearing gloves, but Lin Shuwen still smiled brightly.

Luo Ming also rubbed the two little guys. He didn't know if it was because he was a little too strong, but the little guy on the left was actually woken up.

Seeing this, the nanny nearby quickly picked up the little guy and coaxed him carefully.

Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen tactfully walked out of the room.

"Mr. Luo, Ms. Lin, the relevant adoption procedures have been completed. Please give these two little guys names!" A staff member came over and said as soon as the two took off their sterile suits.

"Wenwen, you come!" Luo Ming decisively gave the naming rights to Lin Shuwen.

Lin Shuwen nodded. After thinking for a moment, she said, "The male giant panda is named Mingming, and the female giant panda is named Wenwen."

"Okay, the two giant panda cubs will be named after these two names. You are welcome to come back to our base to meet them at any time."

Coming out of the breeding base, Lin Shuwen had a smile on her face.

It was the first time that Luo Ming saw Lin Shuwen so happy. The giant panda is really charming!

Afterwards, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen drove to western Sichuan together.

During the trip, we passed the Jinkou Grand Canyon of Dadu River. This canyon is 26 kilometers long and is known as the longest, most dangerous, secluded and most beautiful canyon in Sichuan.

Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen stopped to take photos as a souvenir.

After arriving in western Sichuan, looking at the scenery that looked like a computer desktop, my mood suddenly became brighter and the fatigue from the journey disappeared in an instant.

The sky here is very blue, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and any snap will result in a beautiful photo.

Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen stayed in western Sichuan for four days and only flew back to Shanghai on the weekend.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Toutiao was about to be released, Luo Ming really didn’t want to go back. Such a beautiful scenery, how could one not linger?
