I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

Big Blue saw the intruder, but it neither roared nor bared its teeth.

It just stood there, looked at the panda for a few seconds, then turned around and slowly walked back.

It wasn't walking fast, and its tail even swayed slightly.

The unfamiliar panda immediately followed.

Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.

"First year of junior high." She turned to look at the first year of junior high and let out a soft moan.

Chu Yi tilted his head to look at her, not understanding what she was surprised about.

The two pandas disappeared into the mountains, one after the other.

Lan Xiaoxiao sat behind the bushes and suddenly felt a little empty.

It's not jealousy, it's just... that indescribable feeling.

Her mother is in a relationship.

Lan Xiaoxiao squatted behind the tree for a while, then stood up, shook off the dirt, and turned to go home.

I followed her on the first day, walking in front and leading the way.

Lan Xiaoxiao walked behind, her mind wandering for a while before she stopped thinking about it.

As long as Da Lan is happy!

If she succeeds, will she have a younger brother or sister this year?

……

Summer is here.

Summer in the mountains was much hotter than Lan Xiaoxiao had imagined. The bamboo forest was so dense that it was like a steamer. Her furry body was covered in thick fur, and she couldn't breathe after just a few steps.

Lan Xiaoxiao was so hot that she would lie at the entrance of the cave every day, sticking out her tongue and panting like a dog.

The area over the big blue hill is the shady side of the mountain, so it's not as hot in the summer.

Their side faces the sun, and it's much hotter than the other side.

Moreover, the cave in Da Lan is naturally ventilated, but since they dug it themselves, it's still not quite there yet.

Even these past few days, she's been going outside a lot, calling out to me and turning back as she goes, clearly wanting me to follow.

Pandas move to higher altitudes where it's cooler in the summer because it gets too hot. When it gets too cold in the high-altitude areas during the winter, they move back down the mountain.

Chu Yi seemed to want to move, but Lan Xiaoxiao was still a little reluctant. Although she had been kicked out by her mother, she was still a human soul and wanted to stick with her mother.

Let's stick it together for another year, then we'll move next year!

She will be three years old next year, and her body will be ready for long-distance migration.

Lan Xiaoxiao has made her decision.

Seeing her like this, Chu Yi tilted his head, then turned around and walked towards the valley.

After walking a few steps, I turned back to look at her.

Lan Xiaoxiao understood, and agreed!

The valley is located at the southernmost part of the territory. It is low-lying with cliffs on both sides and a stream flowing down from the mountains in the middle. When it reaches the valley, it becomes a shallow river.

The river wasn't deep, the deepest part only reaching thigh-deep, but the current was very rapid, splashing white water droplets as it hit the rocks.

On the first day, it stepped into the water, which was up to its legs. It lowered its head and submerged its entire head in the water, gulping down several mouthfuls. Then it raised its head, shook itself, and splashed water everywhere.

Water droplets splashed onto her face, and Lan Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes before stepping into the water!

It's so cool!

The coolness shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and Lan Xiaoxiao felt a shiver of comfort throughout her body, making the whole bear feel energetic.

She took a few steps forward and went into the deep water, where everything except her head was submerged.

The cool river water washed over her, carrying away the heat layer by layer, making her hum with pleasure.

The first one had already reached the middle of the river, where the water was deeper. Its entire belly was submerged, with only its round head and half of its back showing. It squatted in the water, its eyes squinting, its expression one of extreme enjoyment.

Looking at Chu Yi's appearance, Lan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but let out a "meow".

Lan Xiaoxiao went to deeper water; she could wade in the water.

With its front paws paddling and hind legs kicking, its round body slowly moves forward in the water. It doesn't look very graceful, but it is definitely swimming.

Chu Yi watched her thrashing about in the water, stood up, walked to her side, and gently nudged her bottom with his paw, as if adjusting her direction.

Lan Xiaoxiao was spun around by the flick of her wrist and glared at Chu Yi.

Unaware of what was happening, he dialed it again.

Lan Xiaoxiao ignored it and thrashed about in the river, swimming from one side to the other.

The river water washed over her, feeling incredibly cool, and she felt as if the entire bear had come back to life.

After playing for a while, Lan Xiaoxiao lay down to rest in the shallow water, pressing her belly against the cool rocks, her limbs outstretched like a bearskin rug.

There was no rest on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It stood motionless at the bend in the river, its eyes fixed on the water.

Lan Xiaoxiao squinted at it, wondering what it was doing.

Then she saw Chu Yi's claw suddenly plunge into the water! It was as fast as lightning, and when it was lifted out again, there was a silvery-white fish on its claw.

The fish was still struggling, its tail thrashing back and forth, splashing water all over Chu Yi's face.

Chu Yi looked down at the fish, tilted his head, then picked it up, walked over to Lan Xiaoxiao, and put the fish near her mouth.

"Meow." Eat.

The fish was still breathing, its mouth opening and closing, its scales shimmering silver in the sunlight.

Lan Xiaoxiao didn't know that pandas could catch fish before. In her previous life, she watched panda videos and most of the pandas were just holding bamboo and munching on it, occasionally eating an apple. She never saw them go into the water to catch fish.

I've only ever seen black bears and brown bears catching swimming salmon, haha.

Fresh, live fish! It must be delicious! Lan Xiaoxiao lowered her head and took a bite.

The taste was unexpectedly good; the fish was tender with a subtle sweetness. She finished it in just a few bites, leaving not even the bones.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the work continued in the more challenging areas.

Lan Xiaoxiao had already climbed ashore, found a smooth rock to lie on, and quickly dried her fur before it got dark.

On the first day of the lunar new year, a fisherman caught three fish in the river. I don't know if it was because of his good technique or the good ecology of the area!

Chu Yi tore off a piece of the fish belly and fed it to Lan Xiaoxiao. Lan Xiaoxiao was used to being fed like this, so she opened her mouth and took it without hesitation, eating it with great relish.

When they can't eat anymore, they whine and turn their mouths away.

He stopped, looked down at the last fish in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then ate it himself.

Two pandas lay side by side on a rock, drying their fur, and slowly fell asleep. Before they knew it, they were hugging each other, with the little bear burying its head in Chu Yi's arms.

……

With this river, summer isn't so unbearable.

They would go down to the river to soak every few days, and Professor Xu wondered why they didn't migrate, given how hot it was.

Could it be because both of them are cubs and don't know how to migrate?

……

Summer has passed, and autumn has arrived.

The autumn in the mountains was the most beautiful autumn Lan Xiaoxiao had ever seen.

The bamboo leaves are still green, but the broad-leaved trees on the mountain have begun to change color, turning golden, orange-red, and brown in patches.

Lan Xiaoxiao recognizes many wild fruits.

This is knowledge she learned when she was a human in her previous life. Although she had only read popular science articles on her phone back then, she never expected to actually use it in this life.

She found several wild kiwi vines, picked wild kiwis to eat, but they were a bit hard, not ripe, and not very tasty.

There was even a wild persimmon tree, with persimmons that were very small, about the size of a jujube.

It feels hard to the touch, and it's not ripe yet. I heard that it tastes best when it's frozen.

But the little bear was too greedy and couldn't resist picking a wild persimmon and putting it in his mouth.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

The bear cub vomited violently and even used its paws to pull out its tongue.

Seeing this, Chu Yi, who was eating bamboo not far away, put down his bamboo and came over, nuzzling the little bear with his head.

Lan Xiaoxiao had a mischievous idea and picked a wild persimmon.

Lan Xiaoxiao picked it up and brought it to Chu Yi's mouth.

The food that the little bear fed him was eaten without the slightest hesitation on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

I chewed it twice.

The first-year student's entire bear-like face was scrunched up!
