Chapter 673: Chapter 673: How Could Xiong Bo Raise a Panda?
Hearing Lin Yuwei’s words, Qianxun slightly squinted his eyes. Could it be that Lin Yuwei had discovered Xiong Bo’s panda?
"Oh? What’s the problem with Xiong Bo?" Qianxun pretended not to know.
"It’s like this, I have the keys to Xiong Bo’s place, right? One night, I couldn’t sleep so I went to his apartment. Guess what happened? As soon as I opened the door, I saw a panda!!!" Lin Yuwei’s eyes widened.
"A panda?" Qianxun looked confused.
"Yes! I’m sure I wasn’t mistaken! There was a giant panda lying on his couch! At first, I thought it was fake, just a panda stuffed toy that Xiong Bo bought. So, I went over to touch it and, guess what, the panda moved! It felt just like a real giant panda! That’s when I suspected that Xiong Bo might be secretly keeping a panda. You know, pandas are national treasures in our country and private keeping is prohibited. If Xiong Bo gets caught keeping a panda, he would definitely be in trouble!"
"I just wanted to persuade him to return the panda, but when I mentioned it to him the next day, he flatly denied it!" Lin Yuwei said, somewhat indignant.
Even though she couldn’t resist that night and slept with the panda, Xiong Bo shouldn’t be keeping it secretly.
Moreover, he kept it a secret from her!
That was really inconsiderate!
...
"Maybe, you got it wrong? Why would Xiong Bo keep a panda?" It would make more sense if he were keeping himself.
Upon hearing Qianxun’s words, Lin Yuwei immediately retorted decisively, "I definitely didn’t see it wrong. Even if he won’t admit it, it doesn’t matter—I can find proof myself! Guess what else I discovered? Xiong Bo secretly bought lots of fresh bamboo shoots! The trash he threw out, lots of it are green dumplings! Just like the poo poo that pandas at the zoo produce! Isn’t that concrete evidence that he’s secretly keeping a panda?"
Hmm!
Did he really think he could deceive her sharp eyes?
Qianxun was speechlessly twitching his lips after listening.
Then he asked, "Is Xiong Bo at home now?"
"Oh, he’s not. Ever since I caught him keeping the panda, he has been avoiding me! Hmph, I wouldn’t report him. I just wanted him to secretly take the panda back to the zoo!" Lin Yuwei pouted.
Pandas are very precious species, what if Xiong Bo accidentally kills one?
...
Hearing Lin Yuwei’s words, Qianxun chuckled inwardly, then looked at her and said, "Maybe he has his difficulties?"
"What difficulties could he have? He’s just afraid I’ll report him! He doesn’t trust me at all, that guy! Do you think I’m that kind of person?" Lin Yuwei said, feeling hurt.
She thought that she and Xiong Bo had the kind of friendship where they could talk about anything, but it turned out to be all her wishful thinking!
She swore she would never forgive him!
Unless he lets her keep the panda for a couple of days before returning it to the zoo.
Seeing Lin Yuwei upset and aggrieved, Qianxun couldn’t help but probe her, saying, "I don’t think Xiong Bo is afraid of you reporting him. Remember the time you were in danger? He risked his life to save you. How about I try to talk to him for you?"
At these words, Lin Yuwei’s eyes brightened and she nodded, "Sure! I’ve been trying to call him, but he wouldn’t pick up!"
"I’ll give it a shot." Qianxun took out his phone and dialed Xiong Bo’s number.
She was certain that Xiong Bo was still somewhere near the neighborhood.
