I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

The two cubs were not very big, even smaller than when Lan Xiaoxiao first met Chu Yi.

They are round and fluffy, with distinct black and white colors, and you can tell at a glance that they are very soft to hold!

So cute! So adorable! Lan Xiaoxiao really wants to play with the panda cubs.

She sniffed the air; Big Blue wasn't there!

It should go out to find food.

Lan Xiaoxiao's heart started racing.

She slowly crawled out from behind the bamboo, her belly pressed against the ground, and crawled forward step by step, while the dog crept around.

The two cubs spotted her at the same time.

The one that was playing with the bamboo stick stopped, tilted its head to look at her, its eyes round and bright like black beans, while the other one was still lying on its back.

Lan Xiaoxiao climbed to the cave entrance.

The cub didn't run away or cry out; it just looked at her, tilting its head and raising its paws.

Lan Xiaoxiao stretched out her paw and gently touched the cub.

So soft!!!

No wonder the first-year students love playing with the cubs so much; they're just too soft and cute!

"Mmm~" Lan Xiaoxiao greeted.

Hello everyone, I'm your older sister.

The cub recoiled slightly when she touched it, then peeked back and sniffed her paws.

Lan Xiaoxiao felt her heart melting.

The cub wasn't afraid of strangers at all. It nudged her paws with its head, then stood up, staggered a couple of steps, and jumped into Lan Xiaoxiao's arms.

Lan Xiaoxiao hugged the cub, lowered her head and sniffed it; it was female. She then sniffed the other one; it was male.

Twins!

Da Lan gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!

Lan Xiaoxiao hugged both cubs to her arms, nuzzled their bellies with her nose, and rubbed her head against their faces.

They frantically sucked on the cubs and played with them.

Chu Yi also came and sat on the mountain path, which is the only way for Da Lan to come back. It was keeping watch.

When Lan Xiaoxiao saw it, she even whimpered and invited it.

"Hey Chu Yi, don't you like playing with baby cubs? Here are two, double the fun! You take one, I'll take one!"

Chu Yi shook his head, didn't come over, and just sat on the mountain path looking around.

Lan Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "Chu Yi, why aren't you playing?"

Are you no longer interested?

Never mind, let her play!

The younger siblings are just like the plush bears, soft and fluffy, easy to pick up and carry.

Lan Xiaoxiao was so engrossed in playing that she didn't notice Da Lan's scent on the wind.

Big Blue is back!

Chu Yi suddenly bleated, and Lan Xiaoxiao understood that it was telling her to hurry up and leave.

Lan Xiaoxiao quickly put down the cub and ran towards Chu Yi, bumping her head against Chu Yi's bottom. The two pandas, one big and one small, trotted away happily.

Da Lan emerged from the bamboo forest, a package of bamboo shoots dangling from his mouth, and put it down at the cave entrance.

It affectionately nuzzled the cub, then suddenly sniffed the cub a few times with its nose. Big Blue glanced at the path in the distance, then calmly sat down and began peeling and eating bamboo shoots.

……

……

Lan Xiaoxiao followed Chu Yi all the way back.

On the first day of the lunar month, it entered the cave, lay on the pine needles, rested its head on its paws, and half-closed its eyes.

Lan Xiaoxiao also entered the cave and lay down next to Chu Yi.

"Mmm~"

"Waaaaah~"

Little Blue Talkative Bear kept barking.

"In the first year of junior high, the cubs are so much fun, like dolls. Do you know what dolls are? They're cute, fluffy things."

"Why didn't you come and play just now? You dare to play with me when I was little, but you don't dare to play with Big Blue's second child?"

Chu Yi rolled over, stretched his head in front of Lan Xiaoxiao, and nudged her paws with his nose.

Lan Xiaoxiao subconsciously placed her paw on Chu Yi's head and rubbed it a couple of times.

Chu Yi snuggled closer to her, burying his face in Lan Xiaoxiao's arms and pressing his head against her chest.

"Huh?" What are you doing, first-year middle school student?

Lan Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then looked down at Chu Yi.

Chu Yi didn't look at her; his eyes were closed, his ears were slightly pressed back, and his whole face was pressed against her body.

Lan Xiaoxiao realized that this was the same posture she had just used when she was holding the cub.

The baby was too big; its head filled her chest and rested on her belly.

Is this the first-year student being affectionate? Is she imitating a cub? Or does she want to pet it like she would pet a cub?

The little bear didn't touch itself for a long time. Then, it looked up and asked, "Huh?"

"Waaaaah!!!"

I really want her to touch me in the first year of junior high!

How can it be so cute!

Pandas truly are the cutest animals in the world! No wonder they're considered national treasures!

The little bear grabbed Chu Yi's head and buried its face in Chu Yi's fur, rubbing against it vigorously! It also rubbed its ears and cheeks with its two paws.

Chu Yi was swayed and staggered by her rubbing against him, but he didn't dodge. Instead, he snuggled closer to her and let out a satisfied bleat.

Lan Xiaoxiao rubbed against it for a long time.

The first-year student's eyes were half-closed and his mouth was slightly open, as if he was smiling.

Lan Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Yi's big face and sobbed, "Waaah!"

The wind rustled through the bamboo forest, and birdsong echoed from the mountains.

Chu Yi raised his paw, placed it on Lan Xiaoxiao's back, and hugged her tightly.

Lan Xiaoxiao was drowsy.

……

……

Lan Xiaoxiao would go to play next door every few days, and Chu Yi would always keep watch for her, so they were never caught by Da Lan!

The twins are growing up day by day.

They no longer just stay at the entrance of the cave; they crawl everywhere.

The downside of crawling around is that their fur gets dirty easily. The twins' fur was covered in a lot of dirt, with patches of yellow and white.

Lan Xiaoxiao subconsciously licked it.

It had only licked it twice when the first-year student called the police: "Meow~".

This is a signal to leave.

Lan Xiaoxiao ran quickly, following Chu Yi as he huffed and puffed.

They didn't realize that Big Blue hadn't returned at all.

Chu Yi's dark eyes darted around, and he looked back at the two cubs on the hillside, snorting.

The bear cubs love their young so much that they even lick their fur...

As Chu Yi slowed down, Lan Xiaoxiao bumped its head into its rear end.

"Huh?" Lan Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

Chu Yi turned around and licked her ear before continuing to lead the way home.

……

After that, Lan Xiaoxiao played with the cubs and made false alarms on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Lan Xiaoxiao believed them without a doubt and would retreat as soon as she heard the signal.

I discovered in the first year of junior high that doing this really does reduce the amount of playtime for the bear cubs and young bears.

It even started bleating and calling for Lan Xiaoxiao to go home in as little as ten minutes.

……

Summer is here again.

This summer is hotter than last year!

Global warming is affecting panda conservation efforts, meaning summers will only get hotter each year.

Lan Xiaoxiao lay in the hole, her tongue lolling out, panting like a dog.

The pine needles inside the cave were kicked into a mess; it was too hot to lay them down.

Although this territory has plenty of bamboo and a nearby water source, its low altitude makes it hot in the summer.

Lan Xiaoxiao's thick fur provides excellent insulation, keeping her warm in winter and hot in summer, making her feel like she's about to turn into a roasted panda.

It was hot on the first day of the lunar month. It lay down at the entrance of the hole, its belly pressed against the ground, its four paws outstretched, and its eyes half-closed as it pondered something.

"Meow! Mmm!" Lan Xiaoxiao cried out in the heat. She felt it was time to move!

She remembered watching a panda documentary in her past life, and that giant pandas migrate.

In winter, people go to low-altitude areas to escape the cold, and in summer, they go to high-altitude areas to escape the heat.

She and Da Lan hadn't moved much before because that territory was so perfect—it was on the shady side, so it wouldn't get too hot in the summer, and it really hadn't been this hot in the past few years.

Now, her territory is on the sunny side, where the sun shines for a long time, and this year's heat has exacerbated the situation.

I can't hold on any longer.

Lan Xiaoxiao stood up, walked up to Chu Yi, and nudged Chu Yi's face with her nose.

I opened my eyes on the first day of the Lunar New Year and looked at her.

"Meow~" Lan Xiao cried out, a sound of retreat, then turned and walked out of the cave.

Chu Yi understood, immediately stood up, shook his fur, and followed!

The little bear is moving!

The little bear is finally willing to move!
