The moment Yang Qi stepped out, Huang Leqing was the first to rush over. His eyes glittered behind his glasses as he grabbed Yang Qi's arm and fired off a series of questions.
"Mr. Yang, how did you do it? Did you use a specific sequence of body language? Or did you discover some key stimulus we overlooked that triggers a gibbon's feeding instinct?"
"Your stance, your movements, your speech tempo just now... was it based on a reverse application of the 'comfort-encouragement' model found in the social behavior of Western black crested gibbons?"
"Or..."
The barrage of technical terms and analysis left Yang Qi a little stunned.
He quickly coughed to interrupt Huang Leqing's questioning. "Teacher Huang, please calm down. I think I've figured out the problem."
With that, he turned to Tong Xiaoyue and the others.
"The reason Ah Wu is refusing to eat isn't a physical illness; it's a psychological issue. He wants to see his mate—his first mate!"
