Chapter 25
No wonder he only felt something was strange at first glance, but couldn't recognize it.
Upon seeing him, the police officers couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, he's so good-looking! No wonder you said you couldn't recognize him."
Shi Wen nodded in deep agreement. "Right? I knew he looked familiar, but not quite like me."
Staff member. "Haha, that's true. I'll take a picture later to document it."
The staff surrounded the rare spotted ephedra, taking photos and making records.
They also asked Yan Kexing to help them fill out the forms.
Shi Wen looked at Yan Kexing, who was surrounded by people, and his eyes gleamed.
Having such a friend is something to be quite proud of.
After photographing this spotted ephedra plant, the group searched the vicinity and found four more plants.
The staff asked for Shi Wen's opinion and discussed with him how to handle the situation.
Shi Wen, "I saw in the regulations that in this situation, it's possible to apply to have the protected plants removed?"
The staff member nodded. "There is such a regulation. Do you prefer to move these ephedra plants rather than leave them on the pasture?"
Shi Wen turned to the pasture behind him and said, "It's too much pressure for me to leave it here. I have so many livestock here, and if it stays here, it might get eaten by them at any time, which would be a problem. So, it would be best if you could move it, then I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore."
The staff member smiled and said, "Your request to move it is definitely not a problem. It just requires some paperwork."
Shi Wen, "Let's do that. If new spotted ephedra grows in the pasture after we move it, I'll let you know then."
"Okay. Or you can contact me directly later?" the staff member said. "Let's add each other on WeChat. You can tell me anything there."
Shi Wen taking out their phones to add each other on WeChat.
"My surname is Zhou, and my given name is Zhou Hongzhong. You can just call me Old Zhou." Zhou Hongzhong's dark face beamed with a very infectious smile. "I'm in charge of this area. If you have any problems or difficulties, you can just tell me."
The two successfully added each other as friends, Shi Wen looked at Yan Kexing.
Yan Kexing spoke up, "Just call him Captain Zhou. We all call him Captain Zhou."
Shi Wen called out, "Captain Zhou."
Zhou Hongzhong glanced at Yan Kexing and Shi Wen almost imperceptibly, and smiled, "That's fine with me. Contact me anytime if anything comes up."
Yan Kexing is an expert, and Zhou Hongzhong also has professionals on his side. With the cooperation of both parties, migrating Ephedra sinica is not difficult.
Several plants of Ephedra sinica were quickly dug up.
Zhou Hongzhong and his team need to hurry up and take the spotted ephedra to a new planting site.
To everyone's surprise, Yan Kexing stayed on the ranch.
When others looked over, he didn't offer any further explanation.
Shi Wen was quite pleased that Yan Kexing could stay as a guest.
Few people come to the ranch, so it's good for them to chat.
After everyone else left, he chatted with Yan Kexing, saying, "You scared me! I was worried that if they found protected plants on the ranch, the whole area would be protected, and I'd get a compensation to open a ranch somewhere else."
Yan Kexing laughed, "Your protection level is much higher than these plants'. They will never touch your pasture, don't worry."
"With you saying that, I'm not worried anymore," Shi Wen said to Yan Kexing with a hint of pride. "Haven't you seen my Cong Zai yet? Let me show you."
Yan Kexing: "Okay, let me get to know you."
Chapter 25
Cong Zai stayed home to look after the house today.
Shi Wen got home, the first thing he called out to the family was, "Cong Zai-- "
Before he finished speaking, a chubby black ball ran out of the house.
It ran and purred, and you could see its joy just from its footsteps.
Cong Zai ran out, and just as he was about to reach Shi Wen's feet, about five or six meters away, he saw Yan Kexing.
It stopped abruptly, raised its front paws, and looked hesitant and somewhat frightened on its furry face.
I don't know how a cat can have such a wide range of facial expressions.
However, this guy is always humane and good at judging situations, so he probably sensed that Yan Kexing was unusual.
Shi Wen smiled, took a few steps forward, picked up Cong Zai and stroked him a couple of times, then led Cong Zai towards Yan Kexing.
Cong Zai was a little anxious. "Meow meow meow?"
Its consonant was almost lost, revealing its rough, unnatural sound.
Shi Wen supported its chest and rump, letting it sit on his arm, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Uncle Yan is a good person."
Shi Wen shoved Cong Zai into Yan Kexing's hands and couldn't help but laugh.
When he handed Cong Zai to Yan Kexing, their fingers touched.
Yan Kexing's body temperature is always very high, and his hands are very warm.
Shi Wen felt as if his fingers were being electrocuted when he touched Yan Kexing's fingers.
He looked up in surprise and met Yan Kexing's gaze.
At this moment, Shi Wen's smile remained, and he clearly saw his own face reflected in Yan Kexing's eyes.
Yan Kexing appeared very focused, giving the illusion of deep affection.
At that moment, Shi Wen's heart skipped a beat.
Shi Wen quickly concealed the strange feeling in her heart and nonchalantly took half a step back.
Yan Kexing holding the cat, and didn't seem to have any particular reaction.
It's not clear whether they like it or not yet, but there's definitely no dislike in it.
Shi Wen understood the situation.
Cong Zai trembled in Yan Kexing's hands, not daring to utter a sound, only staring at Shi Wen with his round eyes, his expression weak and helpless.
Yan Kexing lowered his head and stroked its head, then scratched its chin, his voice low and gentle. "Don't be afraid."
Cong Zai said sweetly and delicately, "Mmm."
I've been spending some time with Cong Zai for Shi Wen, and this is the first time I've heard it meow so softly.
This guy used to just meow.
