At noon, the Little Snowflakes drifting across the sky gradually stopped, and the thin layer of snow began melting into the ground.
Dong Xuebin and Yu Meixia and her daughter were having lunch at a small restaurant in the Wildlife Park.
"Big brother, why haven't we seen the big tigers and lions?"
"They're probably not in the walking area. They should be in the open-range area up ahead."
"...I want to see them. Big brother, take me there quickly."
"Heh, look how impatient you are. All right, all right. We'll take the Tour Bus over after we finish eating. I don't know whether there are lions, but there are definitely Northeast Tigers."
After lunch, the three of them reached the end of the walking tour area.
The open-range area lay in the distance. From afar, many birds whose names they did not know circled among the branches. There were slightly more people here. Several staff members were maintaining order, while two or three tour buses and minibuses waited in the parking area. Many visitors lined up to board one by one. Once a bus had no seats left, the staff would wave it off, then let the remaining visitors board the next bus shortly afterward.
Yu Qianqian was already getting impatient. She tugged Yu Meixia and Dong Xuebin toward the buses.
Dong Xuebin smiled, went over to handle the formalities, then lined up with the mother and daughter.
They missed this bus. Just as it was about to be their turn, all the seats were taken, leaving them no choice but to wait for the next one.
Six or seven minutes later, a Tour Bus slowly pulled into the parking area.
"Qian Qian, come on, get on."
"Yay, we can see the big tigers now."
"Heh, slow down. Don't fall."
