Professor, your turtle!

Often, the more you worry about something, the more likely it will happen.

Ji Fan ran to the toilet three times before going to bed.He always suspected that the water hadn't been drained, but he blushed and couldn't squeeze out more, so he had to wash his hands and go back to the room.

The hotel toilet is a very old-fashioned wooden toilet, with a squatting pit and a vertical urinal next to it. Although it is old, it is clean and compact. There is a warm yellow mirror lamp on the top of the head, and a bunch of dried flowers and small toilets are placed in the corner. Small incense sticks.If Ji Fan hadn't been terribly frightened, he would probably have praised cleanliness.

The night in the mountains was eerily quiet, and even the slight whirring of electricity from light bulbs could be clearly heard.Ji Fan raised his head, his face in the mirror was a little pale, and he could see the narrow space behind him at a glance.

"It's nothing to be afraid of." He calmed down and comforted himself, "It's just some urban legend."

At this moment, the mountain wind suddenly blew, and the branches hit the glass, making a loud "crash".

He hastily turned on the faucet, poked his head out, and carefully called "Mr. Fu" through the dark corridor.

After a while, the familiar indifferent voice came back: "Huh?"

Ji Fan settled his mind a bit: "No, it's nothing."

The other party smiled a little: "Are you scared? Do you want me to pick you up?"

Ji Fan: "..." He pinched his nose and said "no need", and took two steps in three steps, sticking to the wall, and quickly slipped back to the only lit "Bamboo Room".

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Fu Mingyuan had already taken off his shirt, and was wearing a dark linen bathrobe, spreading the bedding for the two of them.His front was slightly open, and the ambiguous light outlined his firm chest and lower abdomen.

Ji Fan was stunned for a second, then turned his head abruptly, with an unnatural expression on his face.

"you you……"

Fu Mingyuan calmly asked, "What about me?"

Ji Fan didn't dare to meet his gaze, and after a while, he said in a low voice, "The quilt...is the quilt too close?"

Fu Mingyuan glanced at him with a smile that was not a smile, and like to coax a child, he opened a little distance between the two quilts that were originally spread side by side on the tatami.

"Is that all right?"

Ji Fan stood still and nodded stiffly.

"Come here, get some rest early." Professor Fu's face was calm, completely in the tone of an elder, "If you stay up late, you won't grow taller."

Ji Fan lowered his head to look at the quilt, then at the serious Fu Mingyuan, finally gritted his teeth and said, "Go to sleep first, I... I'm not sleepy yet!"

"Oh, I'm not sleepy," Fu Mingyuan raised his eyebrows, "That's just right, I also want to soak in the hot spring for a while."

Ji Fan: "..." He was so nervous, he didn't know how he took off his clothes, and how he watched the other person take off his bathrobe, told him to take a simple rinse, and then stepped into the steaming pool together .

When he came back to his senses, the two were already sitting face to face in the small open-air hot spring.

The dense heat made people dizzy, and Ji Fan was restless. He only felt that what was on his head was not a soft towel, but a piece of lead——his neck was so stiff that he couldn't even move.

He didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or the heat, but he felt the temperature on his face was getting higher and higher, even the cool night wind couldn't relieve it in the slightest.

"Unwell?" Fu Mingyuan noticed his flushed face.

"Ah, no..."

The next words came to an abrupt end, because the other party suddenly got up and turned over, with one hand supporting the cobblestone ground behind him, and the other hand gently wiped his forehead.

Ji Fan was trapped in a small space, his heartbeat stagnated, and then it started beating more violently.

too close.He could even smell the moisture on the opponent's body.

Fu Mingyuan's body temperature was normal, and his fingers were even a little cold. When he touched his hot forehead, there was an indescribable comfort. Even if he was as shy as Ji Fan, he couldn't push him away immediately.

"Let's go up after soaking for a while," Fu Mingyuan concluded, "Maybe you drank too much wine."

Ji Fan almost bit his own tongue: "Uh...um."

After a moment of silence, Ji Fan clung to the stone wall, trying to reduce his sense of existence, but unexpectedly, the other party didn't back away immediately.

"Mr. Fu, you..."

He was kissed.

Fu Mingyuan covered his eyes with one hand, leaned closer, and kissed the corner of his lips lightly.

After parting, Ji Fan's whole body was softened by the heat, and he wished he could immediately shrink back into the pool water.

He only heard the other party say lightly: "Birthday gift."

"Hey!" Ji Fan wiped his mouth, "I didn't say I would give you this!"

Fu Mingyuan glanced over: "Well, so I took it myself."

Facts have proved that it is not the same after a few more years of food. Professor Fu has his own set of self-consistent logic.

I kissed him too, so I had to bear it. Ji Fan couldn't talk to him at all, so he ignored him and turned his head to look at the furnishings in the garden.

It is not obvious during the day, but at night, simple and simple stone lanterns light up in the gaps between the trees.Dim lighting does not affect the hot spring guests to enjoy the bright starry sky above their heads.

Across the faint mist of mountains and mist, the stars are so beautiful that they are so close that you can pick one off with your hand.

Ji Fan suddenly remembered that night in Antarctica—there were so many, such bright stars, shining brightly, reflected in the endless glaciers.They drove across the Milky Way to see a wonderful aurora.

"That's great." He sighed softly.

Everything is like an overly beautiful dream.Even just a few months ago, he would never have imagined that he could have this moment in his life.

Suddenly, the bushes shook slightly, interrupting his thoughts.

Ji Fan looked intently, and saw two faint green lights behind the swaying grass blades.

"!" He subconsciously retreated and bumped into Fu Mingyuan.

"What?" Fu Mingyuan looked up in his direction, but there was nothing but bushes.

"There! There seemed to be...a wolf?" Ji Fan frowned as he spoke, even he didn't believe it.

——In recent years, the phenomenon of wild animal supplementation has been serious, not to mention that this is a well-developed tourist area, and even insects are rare, so how could there be wolves?

Sure enough, Fu Mingyuan smiled, shook his head and said, "This yard is enclosed, where did the wolf come from?"

"But..." Ji Fan hesitated to speak, recalling those faint green eyes.Glowing green eyes, what kind of animal is it?

"Don't worry," Fu Mingyuan looked very determined, "It will be fine."

"Wait, that's right!" Ji Fan suddenly remembered, "Did you also see some animals in the afternoon?"

Fu Mingyuan paused for a moment, then slowly said: "Ah, indeed. There is a little weasel. I scared it when I approached, and it escaped over the wall."

Ji Fan was surprised: "Weasel? There are weasels here?"

Weasels are rarely seen even in rural areas now. Their place is just a suburb a few kilometers away from the city center, and it is not the kind of ecological environment where weasels ran all over the mountains decades ago.

——Think about it, the weasel stays in this empty hotel, not even a single mouse, what does it catch and eat?Watching birds?goldfish?

Fu Mingyuan said: "Actually, besides the weasel, I also saw a pheasant... It doesn't look like a pheasant. Its tail is too short and its color is very strange."

Ji Fan became interested and asked him to describe it, so Fu Mingyuan raised his hand and hugged it vaguely: "It's about this big, the feathers are black, and the tail is a little dark green, very bright. There is a palm-sized piece of white hair next to the neck. It's red and looks like a strawberry. The comb is bright yellow."

"It's really not a pheasant..." Ji Fan was a little confused. He trusted Fu Mingyuan's memory, but just listening to his description, he couldn't match up with those common birds anyway.

Black feathers, yellow crown and white neck.

It sounds a bit familiar, but I can't remember it.

"Hey, it would be great if there are photos, and I can ask Teacher Xu." He said regretfully, "I didn't expect the environment here to be so well protected."

Fu Mingyuan smiled, looking a little smug: "Wait."

He reached out his hand to take out the phone from the bamboo basket on the shore, flipped through a few pages, and handed it to Ji Fan as if asking for credit—he went out for a stroll in the afternoon and saw the weasel chasing the chicken up the wall, so he recorded a short video .

Ji Fan pulled the video to the middle, paused, zoomed in, and finally saw the "strange chicken" clearly.Fu Mingyuan was right, the pheasant was indeed exactly as he had described it to be, it was well-fed and strong, its feathers were shiny, and it looked very majestic (delicious).

——The skinny weasel followed behind its buttocks, its eyes glowing green, and it stared unblinkingly, seeing that the corner of its mouth was almost dripping to the ground.

"It seems...it's a grouse," Ji Fan was not sure, he reached out his hand and nodded, "Look at its raised fan-shaped tail feathers."

"Ok?"

"The grouse is a cold-resistant northern breed, why come here? Besides, I have never seen a grouse with this kind of crown."

Fu Mingyuan didn't have much research on biology, so naturally he couldn't answer his question.

Ji Fan scratched his head and returned the phone to him: "Why don't you ask Teacher Xu tomorrow?"

"You don't have to wait until tomorrow," Fu Mingyuan said lightly, "I'll help you ask now."

Ji Fan was stunned for a second. Old Xu was drinking like that. He probably fell asleep a long time ago. Would Professor Fu really want to wake him up?

——Wake up, comrade, take a look at this chicken before going to bed.

He trembled and came back to his senses. With Fu Mingyuan's own way of doing things, this is entirely possible!

"No need, I—" Ji Fan reached out to press his cell phone.

Before he finished speaking, his gaze was fixed on the screen, and he saw that Fu Mingyuan had already called up the WeChat chat box, and it was impressively written "Liu Yuan, Department of T University".

Ji Fan: "..."

Dean.Is it the dean he thought of?

Fu Mingyuan was very calm, Ma Liuer passed the video over, and quickly typed a line: "Dean Liu, are you awake, please take a look at this chicken."

The corner of Ji Fan's lips twitched, not knowing how to react.

To harass the respected and respected biological seniors in the middle of the night, for a... chicken?

Soon, the other side replied with a string of "...", and then said earnestly: "Xiao Fu, I'm trying to put my granddaughter to sleep."

"Well," Fu Mingyuan paused, and glanced at Ji Fan who was soaked in the water, "I'm coaxing the kids too, please excuse me."

"Little friend" Ji Fan was extremely embarrassed when he heard the words, he backed away calmly, and slowly sank into the water, only his eyes were exposed.

The other side was quiet for a while, probably because Fu Mingyuan couldn't hold back, and was opening the small video to watch.

Fu Mingyuan put down his phone and said, "I'll find out soon."

Ji Fan thought this was no nonsense. Professor Liu of T University's Department of Biological Sciences was known as a "living encyclopedia". He had in-depth research on taxonomy, but Fu Mingyuan made him get up in the middle of the night just to look at a chicken.

He watched his heart carefully, and did not intend to respond to the other party's "great" look.

The next second, the mobile phone on the bank suddenly rang in a hurry. When I picked it up, it turned out that Dean Liu called back the call himself.

A trace of surprise flashed across Fu Mingyuan's face, and when he picked up the phone, a voice that was so excited that it changed its tone immediately came out.

"Xiao Fu! Xiao Fu—"

His voice was so loud that even Ji Fan could hear him clearly, forcing Fu Mingyuan to keep his phone away from his ears.

"what's up?"

"Where did you get this chicken? Where did you get it! Did you get it? Ah, huh?"

The cold and shrewd Dean Liu has completely turned into a repeater, wishing he could yell a sentence ten times.

"Yes," Fu Mingyuan rubbed the center of his brows, "I took the picture. It's at the hot spring hotel in the suburbs of N city. What's the matter?"

"I'll be here right away! Wait for me, right away—" Dean Liu raised his voice and shouted, "Minxiu, quickly book a plane ticket for me, hurry up, use your app, yes, I'm flying to N City tomorrow morning !"

Fu Mingyuan and Ji Fan looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Why, you want to come to the hot spring too?" Fu Mingyuan clarified, "Ms. Liu, I'm not here for vacation, but for work, and the rooms here are already fully booked during the peak tourist season..."

"What hot spring? Let me spread the floor and set up a tent!" Dean Liu couldn't help being excited, "Do you know what you found?"

"?"

"Sickle-wing chicken! Sickle-wing chicken!"

Fu Mingyuan was still a little dazed, Ji Fan was stunned for a second, then remembered something, and slowly opened his mouth wide.

Dean Liu burst into tears: "Animals that were declared extinct more than 20 years ago miraculously appeared in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River! God——"

"Let's not tell you, Ha Xiaofu, I have to pack my luggage and I have to notify our research team. I'll be here tomorrow morning! Remember, tomorrow!" He hung up the phone in one breath, only to beep Busy tone.

Ji Fan murmured, "Sickle-winged chickens are rarer than pandas... Am I dreaming?"

Fu Mingyuan looked down at the name, showing a dazed expression: "The wild sickle-wing chicken became extinct in 01."

It’s no wonder the old man is so excited—he has spent his whole life classifying animals and plants, witnessed countless species extinctions, and finally met the good news that an extinct creature has “resurrected from the dead”. Can you not be excited?

"Wait a minute," Ji Fan looked a little weird, "You...have you reminded him about the weasel?"

"……Well."

The last precious wild sickle-winged chicken in China is being hunted down by weasels. Instead of stepping forward to help, the only witness leisurely took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the crime scene.

Fu Mingyuan put away the phone as if nothing had happened: "It's too late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The author has something to say: Dean Liu on the plane: Xiao Fu, you have no heart!

Happy New Year everyone~ Happy New Year to everyone!
