I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

The aunt quickly followed up and then notified the people picking fruit nearby.

"The panda is really here! It's three meters tall when it stands up! Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Are pandas this tall?" a woman asked.

One of them quickly called the boss.

The boss is a middle-aged man, the leader of the planting in this village, and a genuine farmer. He has an honest and simple look, dark skin, and is extremely shy when he is live streaming with his daughter.

When he was selling fruit via live stream, it was mostly his daughter who did the talking. His Mandarin was so-so, and he would occasionally chime in, appearing shy and reserved.

I was live streaming when I suddenly received a call from the workers on the mountain.

The boss answered the phone loudly: "Feed? What's wrong? What?! A bear is here?!"

The daughter, who was watching the live stream comments, turned around instantly, grabbed her father's phone, and spoke to the other end: "Aunt Li, what's wrong? Okay, okay, I understand. You all need to get down the mountain quickly. Nobody should linger there. Don't pick anything from there. Stop work for an hour."

After hanging up the phone, she said worriedly to her father, "Dad, go and check. All the workers need to come down and count them. Make sure no one is missing."

"Okay, okay..." The boss didn't dare to delay and hurried off.

Those watching the live stream guessed from these snippets of information that the panda had arrived.

"These two pandas are so brazen, coming to eat fruit in broad daylight."

"These apples must be delicious, I've been thinking about them so much, they came so early this morning."

"Host, can you take us to see the pandas?"

"Eating so much won't be enough, won't it? Won't you suffer huge losses?"

"What are you saying upstairs? Not only did they not suffer any losses, but they sold out of apples. I heard that the apples in several villages were all sold out."

In previous years, they would hang on the branches for a month, and some would rot before they could be sold.

The panda-themed product sold out immediately, and even high-altitude sugar apples from other producing areas sold out. This year's apple prices are better than in previous years.

"I can't take you to see the pandas, because pandas are bears after all, and we can't get too close. But I can describe the situation on the mountain to you verbally."

"My dad has already called all the workers down. It's okay, the pandas won't stay here for long. We'll continue picking them after they leave."

"There are security cameras in the park. Let me see what's going on."

She took out her spare old phone and turned on the surveillance equipment to watch.

The two bears sat under an apple tree. The bigger panda picked apples, while the smaller bear just ate them.

Lan Xiaoxiao was shocked as she ate. "You're really bold for a first-year student. How blatant!"

The auntie who just picked the apples fell over, the basket is on the ground, and seven or eight apples are scattered around it.

On the first day of the lunar month, he walked over, picked up the apples on the ground, put them in the basket, and then carried the basket back.

"Waaah~"

"Oh, you're even using tools now."

Chu Yi placed the basket next to Lan Xiaoxiao, his bright, black eyes gesturing to her to eat more!

I could hear people talking the whole time.

The boss was calling the workers down the mountain, and some workers were discussing their voices.

"I saw it. It was as tall as an apple tree when it stood up. It was black and white, and it looked just like the panda I saw in a video."

"Is the one who stood up in the first year of junior high?"

Some of the older women also know their names.

"It's probably this one, anyway, it's either the first year of junior high or Lan Xiao."

"..."

What kind of nonsense is this literature?

"My goodness, the last time I saw a panda was when I was a teenager and went into the mountains to chop firewood."

Decades ago, the regulations were lax, and people could even go into the mountains back then.

Some of these middle-aged people had seen pandas in their previous lives.

"They seem to just sit there eating, not afraid of people, and not chasing anyone. Boss, can't we go check on them?"

The boss shook his head: "I can't go, safety is the most important thing."

When news broke that the pandas had made a live visit, the orchard's live stream exploded, with thousands of viewers flooding in.

Everyone wants to see pandas; they've been saying they want to see them.

However, with the boss's daughter's patient explanation, the emotions of the viewers in the live stream were calmed down.

"We will release the surveillance footage later, but you can't go there now."

"I've already contacted Uncle Hat."

The owner's daughter spoke very pleasantly and calmly, soothing the netizens' emotions. She praised the fruit at the right time and added a link, which immediately led to another surge in sales.

The police arrived, and Professor Xu arrived as well.

The police communicated with the boss, asking if any workers had been missed on the mountain. Once they confirmed that the workers' safety was guaranteed, they stationed their officers there.

The owner also cut some fruit and brought out a pot of hot tea.

"Have some hot tea. It's cold today. You've all worked hard."

The police officer thanked him, drank tea, and chatted with the shop owner.

The only people who are closest to pandas are Professor Xu's team.

The group approached quietly and soon spotted the two bears.

Lan Xiao was eating, Chu Yi was chewing on an apple, and the whole bear was busy picking them.

There was a basket next to them, and the basket was full of fruit picked on the first day of the lunar new year.

"They even know to put the apples in the basket? Who gave them the baskets?!" Xiao Zhang was shocked.

Professor Xu was also surprised: "They're so smart..."

Another assistant said, "I just heard that it was an aunt who dropped her basketball hoop, and she picked it up on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

Professor Xu now only has one question in mind: "Do you think they're a couple?"

Xiao Zhang said, "But pandas don't have the concept of mates. When they are in heat, they will find a female to mate with, and the relationship ends after mating."

"But why are these two children still together?" Professor Xu had never seen such a case before.

Xiao Zhang asked, "Professor, is it possible that neither of them has ever gone into heat?"

"That's too late for them to mature..." Professor Xu looked up at the sky for a few seconds: "But it's not impossible... Lan Xiao and Chu Yi both had good physical examinations, and Chu Yi's sexual organs are even more developed. It's not like they haven't gone into heat yet."

"Could it be that they separated during their heat cycle in the spring, and then reunited after their heat cycle ended?" another assistant suggested, letting her imagination run wild.

"...That's even more outrageous."

Why would they separate if they were in heat? Wouldn't it be perfect if they found a suitable mate, someone they'd known as a childhood sweetheart bear who'd been together for years?

Xiao Zhang: "Could they already be in heat and mating?"

Professor Xu was certain of one thing: "It's obvious that Lan Xiao is not pregnant, let alone has given birth. However, pandas' estrus period only lasts two or three days, or even just half a day, so there's a high probability that mating will not be successful."

Xiao Zhang laughed when he recalled something: "I heard that a while ago, a male panda at the breeding center went into heat after just reaching adulthood. It was put in the same cage as a female panda in heat, but it didn't know how to mate at all. In the end, we had to show it bear videos before it learned how to mate."

Professor Xu tapped his hands together: "Yes, so it's possible that they won't mate on the first day of the lunar month. They're in heat, but they didn't mate successfully."

This explanation is the most reasonable.

Lan Xiaoxiao: "???"

Can you humans speak a little quieter?

The bear is eating an apple, and you're talking about its privacy!

Waaaaah!
