I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

The image on the truck's screen was in high definition, and the movements of the two bears were exceptionally clear!

Lan Xiaoxiao was so surprised that she dropped the apple in her hand.

What are you doing?!

This is outrageous!!!

Why are you showing Xiongxiong videos?!

Lan Xiaoxiao turned her head and found that Chu Yi was also watching, chewing on an apple and making smacking noises.

Lan Xiaoxiao wanted to immediately cover Chu Yi's eyes to prevent him from leading the bad kids to even worse.

But such behavior is too human; others can see through her thinking at a glance.

"Woof!"

Lan Xiaoxiao let out a bark, wiggled her bottom, and ran away, as if she had been frightened.

Too sudden, Chu Yi dropped the apple in his hand and quickly followed.

Lan Xiaoxiao ran quickly.

She's never coming to eat apples again! She's never coming again! This is so scary, so embarrassing!

Chu Yi chased after it anxiously. Don't be fooled by the panda's chubby appearance; it was surprisingly fast. In an instant, it was on the road, crossed it, and disappeared into the woods.

The police, completely baffled, called the orchard's research team: "What happened? Why did the two bears run away like their lives depended on it?"

Professor Xu was also bewildered. "How should I put it... it seems we scared them."

"Huh? What did you do, expert?"

……

Lan Xiaoxiao decided not to go to the orchard; she'd stop eating there for the rest of the year.

They've even gone so far as to put bear videos on electronic screens on large trucks.

Humans are really interested in panda reproduction, especially wild panda offspring.

They've gone to great lengths to expand the panda population.

But there's no need for that. She and Chu Yi are mating quite well. Whether they have children or not depends on fate.

Why does it feel like even pandas are being pressured to have more children?

Lan Xiaoxiao went to the stream to drink water and calm herself down. Chu Yi walked around her, sniffing her nose, and looked at the little bear with a worried look.

Lan Xiaoxiao looked up: "Eek~"

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"You just watched a bear movie, was it good?"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he hugged the bear's head and licked it.

The first-year student only looked at the footage on the truck because there were two of its own kind on it; it didn't care what those two were doing at all.

Professor Xu observed the two pandas using an infrared camera installed at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that they don't seem to have any stress response, live a regular life every day, and eat, drink, and excrete normally, I feel much more at ease.

This year, Wolong Nature Reserve experienced a heavy snowfall, causing many pandas to head down the mountain. During this time, one panda even tried to take over their territory.

Lan Xiao and Chu Yi were no pushovers; they teamed up and gave the other party a good beating, driving the bear away.

It's warmer down the mountain, but Lan Xiaoxiao is still afraid of the cold. She and Chu Yi are always together and insist on sleeping in each other's arms.

"They have a really good relationship."

"At this age, hugging and cuddling like this definitely qualifies as a romantic relationship."

"That's the first case we've observed of wild giant pandas exhibiting mate-building behavior and living in groups," Professor Xu wrote in his notes. "We will continue to document this pair of pandas to see how long their relationship can last, whether there will be any changes in the future, and when they will have cubs."

Lan Xiaoxiao knew that her and Chu Yi's unusual behavior would definitely be observed by the panda research team for a long time.

She doesn't care, as long as humans don't interfere.

However, humans can't do anything else for them except show them bear movies.

After all, the research team's ironclad rule is that they cannot interfere with the daily lives of wild pandas; they can only observe them.

Having a group of people observing things without incident actually made me feel quite safe.

If someone is injured, they are immediately taken to a rescue center.

Of course, it would be best if she and Chu Yi were healthy, happy, and safe for the rest of their lives!

All the apple orchards at the foot of the mountain have been harvested, and truckloads of delivery trucks are driving out of the mountains.

Netizens received the apples, and many were eating high-altitude sugar heart apples for the first time. The product review section was filled with positive feedback.

"It's juicy, nine parts sweet and one part sour, and very crunchy. No wonder panda cubs love it, and I love it too!"

I shared this with my two older dogs, and they love it! I'll definitely buy it again next year!

"Do Lan Xiao and Chu Yi still live at the foot of the mountain? There are no more apples in the orchard, will they still visit?"

"Probably not. They're smart; they come to the orchard for the fruit, and if there's no fruit, they definitely won't bother coming anymore."

"It'll be ages before we hear anything from those two babies again."

"After all, he's a second-generation illegitimate child; it's normal that we haven't heard from him."

Just when many panda fans were heartbroken and wondering when they would hear news about them again, Professor Xu's research team suddenly posted a Weibo post.

Giant pandas are typically solitary animals, only gathering briefly during their mating season and separating once reproductive behavior ends. The long-term companionship of Lan Xiao and Chu Yi, both adult male and female giant pandas in the wild, is extremely rare. The research team has already established a project to conduct long-term, routine observations of Lan Xiao and Chu Yi.

The heartbroken panda fans, upon seeing this Weibo post, hadn't even had time to wipe away their tears.

!!!

"So, that means we can find out about Lan Xiao and Chu Yi's situation every now and then?!"

"You've been conducting regular, long-term observations; you can't just keep them to yourselves. Don't forget about us!"

"I knew it! I knew it! I was so puzzled to see two babies in the orchard. They're both adults, and they don't go into heat in winter, so why are they together? They're really unusual!"

"I support this project! I support your long-term observation! I want to watch the two babies virtually for the rest of my life!"

"Please, give me a straight answer, will you be updating with two bears?"

Xiao Zhang scrolled through the comments and clicked his tongue: "Lan Xiao and Chu Yi have sparked a panda craze, raising the popularity of our national treasure to new heights."

Previously, the star pandas all belonged to various zoos.

This winter, the two wild second-generation kids, Lan Xiao and Chu Yi, have seen a surge in popularity.

These two babies are amazing; they can both promote wildlife conservation and help farmers sell their products.

……

This winter, the two bears had a wonderful time at the foot of the mountain.

Moreover, during the Chinese New Year, I heard firecrackers being set off in nearby villages.

Lan Xiaoxiao pulled Chu Yi to sit in an open space and waited, and they actually managed to catch a glimpse of fireworks.

Lan Xiaoxiao raised her bear paw and pointed at the fireworks in the sky, saying, "Isn't it beautiful on the first day of the lunar new year?"

"Meow~" Chu Yi nuzzled against her.

After the Spring Festival, the weather is getting warmer day by day.

It warms up quickly down the mountain, and it's time to dig up bamboo shoots to eat.

The two bears were just thinking about when to move when the research team arrived.

Previously, only the cameras moved around and filmed them, and Lan Xiaoxiao had gotten used to these cameras in her territory.

Now, Xiao Zhang has arrived with several staff members.

Xiao Zhang was holding a large handful of beef jerky in his hand. The fragrant smell of the jerky made Lan Xiaoxiao's mouth water.

Xiao Zhang lured Xiao Xiong: "Lan Xiao, come here, come here quickly."

He had his hands behind his back and was holding something dark.

Lan Xiaoxiao: "..." What an obvious trap.
