I have a wildlife zoo

...

Meanwhile, Tang Xiaoxin was in school attending a class.

The teacher on stage was spirited and eloquent, continuously striking the blackboard while explaining the key points.

"Ding ling ling..."

As the bell signaled the end of class, the students instantly became restless, eagerly waiting to step out for a break.

However, the teacher adjusted his glasses and shouted, "Wait two more minutes! Let me finish this problem!"

The students had to suppress their restlessness temporarily until the teacher wrapped up the lesson, after which the noise and commotion began in earnest.

Some called after the teacher with questions they didn\'t understand, others hurried to the restroom, and some, who had struggled to stay awake during class, promptly laid their heads down on their desks to sleep as soon as the lecture ended.

Good friends Tan Xiaoxin and Qian Keke naturally huddled together, standing by the windowsill in the corridor to chat. Looking at the rain outside, Qian Keke complained a bit gloomily, "Why don\'t they cancel classes when it\'s raining this heavily?"

Tang Xiaoxin consoled her, "Hey, think about it, at least we don\'t have to go out and do the exercise break, right?"

Qian Keke smiled happily, "That\'s true."

This was probably the only reason students hoped for rain during their school days!

Just then, a commotion broke out in the corridor; there was a distant clamor and a constant stream of people rushing in that direction.

They looked at each other, wondering what was happening.

Curious, they peered in that direction, suddenly noticing a classmate who had gone to the restroom sprinting back toward the class as if he was bringing urgent news.

Tang Xiaoxin reached out to stop him and asked curiously, "Xiao Qiang, what\'s the matter?"

Xiao Qiang\'s eyes were wide with excitement as he made circles around his eyes with his hands and exaggerated his expression, "There\'s an owl in the water supply room!"

For these students, finding a bee buzzing into a classroom or a mouse scurrying in could cause a racket for quite a while, let alone spotting an owl!

After blurting out the news, Xiao Qiang rushed into the classroom, shouting loudly, "There\'s an owl in the water supply room!"

"Really or not?"

The girls remained somewhat reserved, while the boys, upon hearing the news, perked up and dashed toward the water supply room to see the excitement.

Tang Xiaoxin and Qian Keke, who were more interested in animals than others, ran over in tacit agreement!

By now, a crowd of students had gathered around the water supply room, making curious and excited comments, "I\'ve never seen an owl before."

"Is someone from our school going to Hogwarts?"

"Damn, it must have come to deliver my letter! Guys, make some room, I need to get my acceptance letter!"

"Not to hide it from you, but I\'m actually a wizard! My mom said she just greeted Dumbledore the day before yesterday, so counting the days, the owl should arrive today," a student narrated convincingly to his friends, almost believing it himself.

To most people, owls were somewhat mysterious and unfamiliar birds!

Given their mystique, owls have been tied to many stories and legends, like in the famous novel "Harry Potter," where they act as messengers for wizards.

Seeing the students\' excitement and enthusiasm, it was clear how charming owls were in their imagination.

Tang Xiaoxin and Qian Keke also wanted to see what an owl looked like, but the doorway to the water supply room was blocked by the crowd, and they couldn\'t get through at all.

Just then, their class teacher, Teacher Bai, also arrived upon hearing the news, and began to maintain order with a stern voice, "What\'s all this? Stop crowding around here! Disperse, disperse, go do what you\'re supposed to be doing!"

A student with messy hair was unwilling to miss out on the opportunity to attend Hogwarts and tried to struggle to stay: "Teacher Bai, the owl in the water supply room is delivering a letter to me!"

Old Bai glared, took a textbook, and tapped it against the student\'s head: "Delivering your big head, you like reading extracurricular books too much, is that why your homework has been lacking?"

He was obviously aware of this joke.

Teacher Bai\'s main concern was that if a student got scratched by the owl and was injured, it would be a hassle.

"Off you go, everyone out!"

Under his stern admonishment and the threat of extra homework, the students reluctantly dispersed, but they still lurked around from a distance.

They had planned to watch what would happen next, but just then the "ding-dong" of the school bell rang, and they had to run back to their classroom reluctantly.

Tang Xiaoxin tugged at Qian Keke, motioning for her to come forward, as this was a perfect opportunity to see the owl.

Qian Keke was a bit worried, whispering cautiously: "Aren\'t you afraid of Teacher Bai scolding you?"

She was still very intimidated by Teacher Bai!

The wisdom in Tang Xiaoxin\'s eyes sparkled: "What\'s there to be afraid of, we can bring up Brother Fang Ye."

Qian Keke gave Tang Xiaoxin an admiring thumbs up: "You\'re so smart, Xiaoxin!"

The possibility of skipping class actually made her very happy.

The two entered the water supply room and finally saw the owl that had excited everyone just before.

The owl was huddled in a corner, its overall color a mottled yellow-brown, drenched from the rain and looking pitiful.

At that moment, the owl\'s yellow eyes, wide open like brass bells, watched Teacher Bai and the two girls warily.

Though the rain had soaked its feathers, clumping them together, it still bent over, wobbling its body and stretching its wings into a large sphere, resembling a prickly hedgehog that one wouldn\'t want to provoke, its beak knocking together to make a loud "clack clack" sound.

Qian Keke, looking at the owl\'s round, full eyes, couldn\'t help but exclaim: "Wow, so cute! So adorable!"

At that moment, Teacher Bai brought his phone to his mouth and quietly sent a voice message to the biology teacher to come and take a look.

He didn\'t know how to handle the situation!

Anyway, the owl couldn\'t stay in the water supply room, with students coming in and out, should he catch it and throw it outside?

He wondered if the owl was a protected species. Should he call the police or the fire department?Just as he was worrying about what to do, he noticed that two students had not left. His eyebrows furrowed, and he scolded without politeness: "Class has started and you\'re still here, Qian Keke, we\'ve just complimented you in the class meeting for improving a little, was that praise in vain?"

"Ooh..."

Intimidated by Teacher Bai\'s gaze, Qian Keke was at a loss for words and quickly shrank behind Tang Xiaoxin.

Seeing Teacher Bai\'s gaze turn to her, Tang Xiaoxin quickly raised her hand and said: "Teacher, we often go to Linhai Zoo during vacations and know the zoo director! We even have their contact information!"

"Oh?"

The reprimand Teacher Bai was about to issue was swallowed back; the zoo was indeed a perfect fit for solving this problem.

After a moment\'s hesitation: "Alright, go ahead and contact them."

He glared at Qian Keke again: "One person is enough! Why are you still here, don\'t you want to attend class?"

Qian Keke weakly replied: "Teacher Bai, this lesson is yours..."

Teacher Bai was momentarily at a loss for words: "Then you go back and let them know, say we\'ll have self-study this lesson!"

Qian Keke gave Tang Xiaoxin a helpless look and, not daring to say anything more, dashed off.
