Embarrassed, instead of telling him the truth, Erica cleared her throat and began to talk nonsense.

“Well... the Little Leo is me! Don't you remember I was born in August and I'm a Leo? I suppose I'm also a little pet you keep then!"

Matthew rolled his eyes at her.

“Oh, really? You are my Little pet?

Then I think I should put you on a Leash. Otherwise, my little pet might run away again.”

Erica scratched her head and chuckled foolishly.

Finally, the car drove into the zoo. After a few minutes’ ride, the vehicle stopped in front of the Panda House's gate.

Once the driver got out of the car, he opened the door for Erica while

Matthew helped himself out.

Before she could decide whether she should take the camera with her or not, Matthew held her hand and said, "Let's go!"

A few staff members were already waiting for Matthew and Erica at the door. When they saw the couple coming, they greeted them warmly,

“Matthew, Erica, Welcome!"

Matthew gave them a single nod as Erica replied politely, "Hello!"

Next, the staffers led the couple inside the Panda House.

Seeing many pictures and panda elements around her, Erica finally came to her senses. She then asked the man beside her, "You have kept pandas?" ‘Oh, my God! This is too expensive! Pandas are a national treasure!"

“Yes, I've adopted three pandas." In fact, Matthew earned the right to adopt the pandas. He would regularly transfer money to the zoo, and the

Zoo would spend this money on the three pandas he chose to care for.

Therefore, Matthew was the honorary owner of the three pandas.

"Oh my God, you are too extravagant!" Erica exclaimed. Matthew really stood out from everyone else. Regular people may raise a guinea pig, a boa, or even an alpaca. But Matthew chose to raise pandas. They were a national treasure, for god's sake! Rich people were indeed willful

Matthew held her hand tightly but didn't say anything.

Afterward, the staffers took the two of them to go through a standard disinfection procedure. It was necessary to put on a one-time isolation suit, a mask, and gloves before entering the Living area of the pandas

Erica was nervous and full of expectations during the whole process

Compared to her, Matthew was very calm. With his face blank, he kept listening to Erica showering the staffers with questions such as whether she could hold a panda or not while she was inside.

Before getting into the living area of the pandas, Erica first noticed a square stone board fixed outside, with the words: Matthew has adopted and raised the three pandas called Lili, Riri and Kaka since they were born.

The date of the adoption was written just below.
