All My Colleagues Are Animals 66

Chapter 66

After getting two fireworks shows by rubbing against the tree in the early morning, Pei the Red Panda was both satisfied and tired, and was drowsy even while eating breakfast.

Ye Qingyu looked at her beautiful boss’s face, the alluring spring still lingering in her features, and was suddenly reminded of the scene when she had first brought Boss Pei to meet her family.

“I know. She’s not willing to give you a title yet.”

That was what Ms. Ye had said at the time.

Ye Qingyu had thought Ms. Ye had misunderstood, but now, after several months, she found that it had become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Ms. Ye was truly Ms. Ye.

Just as the little beast was dozing off and was about to fall face-first into her bowl, Ye Qingyu came back to her senses and promptly reached out to support her.

Pei the Red Panda, half-asleep, opened her eyes in a daze and looked at Ye Qingyu, her peach blossom eyes wet and helpless. “I don’t want anymore.”

Ye Qingyu steadied her. “What don’t you want anymore?”

Pei the Red Panda: “Fireworks.”

Ye Qingyu’s throat felt a little tight, and she swallowed lightly.

These fireworks had clearly been rubbed out by the red panda herself on her leg. At most, when the woman was so limp she couldn’t move and was whimpering for help, she had kindly held her by the waist to help.

But now, it was as if she were the one who had been insatiable.

As a model employee, Ye Qingyu did not refute her red panda boss’s unjust accusation.

She just unhurriedly forked a piece of the precious apple from the red panda’s plate and, with a crunch, took a bite, her mouth full of a clear sweetness.

Pei the Red Panda, who was usually very protective of her food, her peach blossom eyes widening slightly, innocently licked the tip of her canines.

Just now, while dozing off, she had had a brief and chaotic dream.

In the dream, the human had pressed her down in the messy and dim bedcovers, and had done this and that to her, and afterwards, the little red panda was so sore and limp that she couldn’t even climb the scholar tree.

Lost in thought for a moment, Pei Rong stared at the young woman’s clear, bright, and gentle face, like the first new leaf of spring, and gradually relaxed.

She, a little panda, had been navigating society for many years and had always been majestic, a ferocious beast with sharp claws.

She thought that in the future, she would not be as pitiful as in her dream…

…

After tidying up, the human and the little red panda went to work on time.

The second issue of the “Small Animal Survival Guide” had been in preparation for a long time and was finally finalized. Today, the publishing house had sent over a few sample copies.

Compared to the previous issue, this issue had added a small animal emotional column and a red panda comic column, but overall, it was still a thin magazine.

Ye Qingyu sat at her desk and first read the small animal emotional column.

This issue’s content was the story of a Golden Retriever finding her master, written by the little Golden Retriever who was far away at Xiao’s Private Hospital.

Compared to the previous issue’s self-narrative in the rescue column, which had been filled with the grievance and loss of being misunderstood and abandoned by her master, this issue’s article was light and full, and the lines were filled with the happiness of finding her Jiejie again.

After every few lines of narration, she couldn’t help but add a few cheerful and happy expressions like “I love Jiejie so much” and “Jiejie is the best.”

Through the words and sentences, Ye Qingyu could almost see the little dog’s tail wagging happily.

Her gaze unconsciously softened.

Boss Pei had started the magazine without regard for profit, and by a coincidence, it had first brought happiness to the little beast in the studio.

For the red panda, it was also a wish come true.

Ye Qingyu then flipped to the rescue column.

She saw a striking headline at the top of the page: Otter Search Notice.

[This sea otter lost a beloved mother otter ten years ago… If mother otter sees this otter search notice, please call the studio’s number to contact your loving otter baby.]

The otter search notice only took up the top half of the page. The bottom half told the story of how the Velvet Bamboo rescue team had successfully helped the little sea otter, to encourage other small animals in need of help to bravely ask for it.

After reading these heartwarming or heart-wrenching columns, Ye Qingyu continued to flip and found that it was the passionate small animal novel column.

The style changed abruptly—

Having Sex Before Love with My Swan Superior.

[The swan had a pair of rimless gold glasses on her nose, and a crimson tie was tied in front of her, making her slender neck look graceful and noble.

The next second, she moved her neck and, unhurriedly, took off the tie and carefully tied the pelican’s wings with it.

“Why did you call out the egret’s name while we were doing it?”

Her voice was faint and dangerous as she forcefully pinned the pelican against the office door. “Have these past few days not been comfortable enough?”

The pelican stubbornly lifted her head. “You and I just have a physical relationship. CEO Goose, don’t cross the line.”

“Even if the goose gets the pelican’s body, she will never get the pelican’s heart…”

The swan sneered and leaned forward.

Soon, only the muffled sound of the office door being bumped by some ambiguous movements could be heard, accompanied by the pelican’s intermittent, suppressed whimpers.

In the heat of the moment, bird feathers flew, and with a smack, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses fell to the ground…
]

Ye Qingyu: “…”

As a person who was also recently in a “sex before love” relationship, she read it with great concentration, hoping to draw inspiration from it and find a way out.

But after a detailed reading, she found that it was still a bit too advanced, and she couldn’t learn from it for the time being.

After reading it with respect, Ye Qingyu unconsciously glanced at the desk to her left.

Shui Zhu immediately turned her head to look back. “This is the censored version. The original version wasn’t allowed to pass. I’ll send it to you.”

Tun-Tun thought that the human was not satisfied and generously shared the original version with her.

“Thank you,” Ye Qingyu said with a gentle smile and politely opened the original version.

The words that met her eyes were filled with spring passion and flowing juices. Her brow twitched, and she quickly and skillfully closed it.

Gu Yue, sitting to Ye Qingyu’s right, was also reading Shui Zhu’s great work.

She was engrossed in it and couldn’t help but exclaim, “This pelican is the bottom again. She’s so much of a bottom. If it were me… I’m naturally more aggressive. I would never be pressed down.”

After speaking, she even nodded with certainty.

Hearing this, Shui Zhu’s pupils constricted, and her heart trembled.

She slowly turned her head to look at Gu Yue, her face still calm and peaceful. “You’re just saying that.”

Gu Yue blinked her eyes. “Huh? I’m not just saying that.”

After a moment’s thought, she reacted—does Tun-Tun think I’m saying the main character in the story is not good?

She immediately explained, “Tun, don’t misunderstand. This story is very steamy, good to read, and I love reading it. I’m just saying that I’m not this type.”

Shui Zhu pursed her lips and slowly blinked her eyes.

She turned her head back, lowered her lashes, and repeated in a trembling voice:

“You’re just saying that.”

Then she sullenly continued to type on her computer.

In the face of a great author’s kink, even the real person had to step aside.

—Reversing a ship is impossible. It’s the world that’s wrong.

With this thought, her typing movements suddenly paused, and she glanced toward the scholar tree in the backyard.

Her scattered gaze gradually became resolute.

No matter what, Sister Rong would definitely not disappoint her.

“Ying.”

On the scholar tree, the soft and limp little red panda suddenly sneezed, and her large, fluffy ears trembled slightly.

…

Looking at the time, it was time to go shopping.

Ye Qingyu closed the sample magazine, stood up, and went downstairs, arriving at the tricycle parked in the backyard to wait for Sister Luo.

She quietly looked at the little red panda sleeping soundly on a branch, her mind active.

Now that she was in a relationship with her beautiful boss that was only physical and not romantic, she certainly couldn’t do nothing and let the red panda figure it out on her own.

That way, she would probably be “doing it first” until the end of time, and would never get to the “loving later.”

But as for how to act, her blank experience made her a little unsure.

Perhaps she should humbly consult with experienced peers.

And since she had no other friends, her gaze naturally turned to her colleagues, with whom she had fought side by side several times and had grown closer and closer—

From a distance, she saw the beaming Sister Luo appear at the corner with her car keys.

This was the only shrimp in their studio who had had a formal relationship, and she was clearly very experienced in all aspects.

After so long, she was still her “ex-girlfriend.”

So the little shrimp should also know a lot about sex before love.

And so, on their way to the store to shop, Ye Qingyu spoke up.

She first started with a concern for her recent situation. “Sister Luo, how have you and your ex-girlfriend been lately?”

Hearing those three words, Luo Bian’s eyes immediately showed a pleased sweetness, and she coolly flicked her long, light-blue hair. “Not bad.”

Recently, Luo Bian had been in a state of both pain and happiness.

Her ex-girlfriend’s transformation talent was not high. Back when they had been in a relationship in the river, Luo Bian had never felt a human scent on her girlfriend and had once thought she was just an ordinary shrimp.

Therefore, this time, her ex-girlfriend had almost broken through her talent and had forcibly transformed before her lifespan reached its limit, so her adaptation speed would be slower than most animals.

For example, she was still completely unable to control the transformation between her shrimp and human forms.

For this reason, Luo Bian would always set countless alarms when she slept, waking up every once in a while to check if the human in her arms had transformed back into a shrimp.

If she did not put the shrimp back in the water in time, her ex-girlfriend would die of lack of oxygen.

Even when she went out to shop, Luo Bian would frequently check the surveillance in the newly arranged room, so that if her ex-girlfriend turned into a shrimp outside the tank, she could promptly ask everyone to go and help.

And for another example, her ex-girlfriend was now very good at tearing down the house.

In every sense of the word—

First was tearing up toys.

She didn’t like the toys she had specially bought for her, but preferred to play with those that were not durable.

Seeing her treasured models in the cabinet being broken one by one, Luo Bian wanted to do something to fix it.

But, that day, when her ex-girlfriend was sitting quietly on the bed, playing with a model, she had suddenly looked up and smiled at her. Luo Bian had been dazed for a moment, and had immediately taken out all her family’s models from the safe and had given them to her to play with.

Besides toys, her ex-girlfriend also tore up herself.

She would always, for some reason, get scratches and bruises on her body. Sometimes, when she couldn’t control her limbs well, she would even fall on a flat surface.

When she fell and got hurt, she wouldn’t cry or speak.

She would just sit on the ground, her head half-tilted back, her beautiful, slightly reddened eyes blinking, looking at Luo Bian with a fragile helplessness.

Her ex-girlfriend also tore up Luo Bian.

The last few times they had been intimate had all ended with her suddenly flying out of the water and transforming into her human form, and then, after not getting what she wanted from Luo Bian, had ended with her unhappily and randomly stepping on her face.

…

Of course, Luo Bian had also found a way to deal with this ancestor—studying.

She had bought the “Baby’s First Words” series from a human bookstore and would teach her ex-girlfriend Chinese characters at a set time every day.

At this time, her ex-girlfriend, no matter how energetic and noisy she had been just now, would become visibly dejected and obedient.

Facing the square Chinese characters, her long, thick lashes would begin to fight, and she would hold her pen and doze off.

With these bits and pieces in her mind, Luo Bian’s mood was full and fluffy.

Seeing Sister Luo’s spirited appearance, clearly immersed in a sweet and smug love, Ye Qingyu was sincerely happy for her shopping partner.

But, she also realized that she probably couldn’t count on the little shrimp for her own relationship problems.

This one was clearly also being eaten alive by her ex-girlfriend, completely helpless.

But she heard Luo Bian call out to her, “Ye Qingyu.”

Ye Qingyu: “Mhm?”

“Actually, I was just about to ask you. Do you have any of those, you know, teaching materials for dating?”

Luo Bian’s tone suddenly lowered, and she was sneaky.

Ye Qingyu’s eyelashes trembled slightly. “You don’t know how?”

“I know how for shrimp, but not for people. All I found on the internet were virus ads.”

Having been stepped on by her ex-girlfriend several times because she couldn’t get it up in bed, Luo Bian was very innocent.

“…”

Ye Qingyu understood.

She said, “I’ll send them to you.”

Ye Qingyu found a certain science popularization that she had organized for the red panda before and sent it to Luo Bian.

…

After the human and the shrimp had finished shopping and had returned to the studio, they found that the living room was very lively.

“The studio just received a wedding invitation. You’re just in time. Let’s look at it together!”

The little beige, fluffy bird was sitting on the black panther’s head and said enthusiastically.

Opening the cheerful, bright red invitation, Gu Yue cleared her throat and read in a clear and round voice:

“Cordially inviting Miss Yun Qing to the wedding banquet…”

“Wait—Yun Qing. Isn’t this my swan sister?” Gu Yue was stunned. “Could it be that the invitation was sent to the wrong address, and it was originally supposed to be sent next door?”

After a slight pause, she continued to read the rest of the invitation with a puzzled look and read the last line:

“Cordially invited by Bai Zhiwan.”

“Hiss, who is Bai Zhiwan?”

The panther’s ears twitched, and her jade-green eyes immediately half-closed, looking sharp and deep.

“Let me see.”

Gu Yue took the invitation to the panther’s side, and they read the content carefully again.

“What’s an invitation?” a little beast asked, not understanding.

Ye Qingyu explained, “In human society, an invitation is a letter of invitation sent by a couple who is about to get married, inviting everyone to their wedding.”

“Wedding…?”

The panther repeated the word in a low voice and was silent for a moment. A dangerous growl, characteristic of a large feline, then came from her throat.

Her large panther paw unconsciously and forcefully scratched at her scratching post, making a grating “creak-creak” sound.

“So this Miss Bai is getting married on Sunday, and she wants to invite the swan sister to her wedding?”

“Look, the delivery address on this invitation is No. 107, Fluffy Road, East District, right next to us.”

“It must be that the courier sent it to the wrong place. I’ll take it next door.”

Listening to everyone’s discussion, the black panther gradually turned around and, without a word, walked out the door with a panther’s gait.

The red string with the key on it was hanging around her neck, and her back was lonely, looking like such a large, wronged black cat.
