I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

Xiao Zhang nodded. Although he was a little uneasy, he knew that Professor Xu was right.

That evening, the expedition team's official account posted a message accompanied by footage captured by an infrared camera:

"Good news from the reserve: Da Lan has successfully given birth to twins! Both cubs are currently in good health. Da Lan is very maternal and has been protecting her cubs in her arms the whole time. In order not to disturb Da Lan and her cubs, the research team will monitor them remotely with cameras throughout the process. Thank you for your understanding and support."

The comment section exploded instantly.

Twins?! Big Blue gave birth to twins?!

Congratulations, Big Blue!!!

"Lan Xiao is a big sister now! Does Lan Xiao know? Will Lan Xiao go back to see her younger siblings?"

"Professor Xu, are you really not going up the mountain? What if something happens to the cubs...?"

"Upstairs, trust Big Blue. It took such good care of Little Blue, it'll definitely do the same this time."

"After all, Lan Xiao almost died once."

"The neighbor had puppies! Does Chuyi know? Chuyi likes puppies, will it go play with them again?"

"Big Blue is amazing! Being a mom is hard work!"

"Does Little Blue know? Does Little Blue know? Will it go to see the babies? Will Big Blue still recognize Little Blue after the new babies arrive?"

Many people are concerned about how Lan Xiao is doing now.

……

Lan Xiaoxiao was unaware of the comments that were following her.

She was lying on Chu Yi's stomach, listening to Chu Yi's heartbeat.

The moon is very round tonight.

She slept soundly, listening to the first-year student's heartbeat.

……

Lan Xiaoxiao has recently developed a new habit: whenever she catches a small animal, she doesn't eat it herself, but instead sends it to the neighbor.

If you're lucky enough to catch two one day, give one to the big blue dog and give the other to the first day of the lunar month.

In the first year of junior high, I would always tear off the fattest piece of meat for her, and the two bears would eat until their mouths were all red.

Lan Xiaoxiao likes to eat meat.

She thought she could eat any kind of meat, but one day, on the first day of the lunar new year, she caught a snake!

Lan Xiaoxiao was so scared she almost climbed the tree on the spot!

The little bear retreated, not daring to approach Chu Yi, or more precisely, not daring to approach the snake it was carrying.

He squatted down, his round eyes full of confusion.

It didn't understand why the bear cub wouldn't eat.

Chu Yi walked over with the snake in his mouth, and Lan Xiaoxiao turned her butt and ran away!

"Woof!"

Don't come near!

The bear cub barked in fright, and Chu Yi immediately realized that the bear cub was afraid of its prey.

It was also the first time that Chu Yi had caught and eaten a snake. Seeing the little bear's reaction, he quickly took the snake and left.

Lan Xiaoxiao thought she had hurt Chu Yi's feelings, so she lowered her head a little embarrassedly and followed slowly.

It turned out that Chu Yi walked to the foot of a distant hillside, dug a hole, buried the snake in it, covered it up, and then slapped it hard a few times.

On the first day of the lunar month, I looked up, bleated, walked over, and licked the little bear's head.

"Waaah~"

Lan Xiaoxiao pouted and acted cute.

The first year of junior high is great.

It gets cold quickly in the mountains, and after a few gusts of autumn wind, some leaves have fallen.

Winter has arrived before we knew it.

This winter is exceptionally cold.

It's much colder than last year.

Last year, she was still the little bear that Da Lan hugged while she slept, and this year... she's still the little bear that Chu Yi hugged while she slept!

In the unheated mountains and forests, the wind blows in from all directions, seeping into the hair, the flesh, and even the bones.

The bamboo grove rustled in the wind, and sometimes a strong gust of wind would suddenly come at night, bending the bamboo tips to the ground and then springing back with a loud bang.

Lan Xiaoxiao curled herself up into a ball, burying her mouth directly in the warm hair on Chu Yi's chest.

Chu Yi used his chin to hold her head, put his paws on her body, and wrapped her up completely.

The two black and white dumplings huddled together, huddled in a hole filled with pine needles, like two glutinous rice balls stacked on top of each other.

The first-year student's heartbeat was in her ear, steady and steady, just like the reassuring sound of Da Lan's heartbeat when she was a child.

She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

I didn't sleep on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It opened its eyes and stared at the entrance of the cave.

The wind blew in from outside, making its ears flip back. It gently tightened its paws, holding the little bear in its arms even tighter.

It snowed at night, but Lan Xiaoxiao was fast asleep and didn't know, while Chu Yi saw it all clearly.

Early in the morning, Lan Xiaoxiao was awakened by the light from the cave entrance.

She looked up, rubbed her face with her paw, and then froze.

Outside the cave entrance, the whole world was a vast expanse of white.

The bamboo groves at the foot of the hill were all bowed down by the weight of the snow.

It's still snowing now.

Lan Xiaoxiao crawled out of Chu Yi's arms, ran to the cave entrance, stretched out her paw, and caught a snowflake.

A snowflake landed on her black paw, shining white and hexagonal. It paused for a second in front of her eyes before melting into a drop of water.

Lan Xiaoxiao glanced back at Chu Yi, who was still asleep, his round belly rising and falling softly as he snored.

Lan Xiaoxiao didn't wake it up and ran out of the cave on her own.

The snow was still falling, not heavily, just fine and scattered. Lan Xiaoxiao walked on the snow, which was up to her ankles, making a crunching sound as she stepped on it.

She ran to an open hillside and looked down. The hillside was very steep, stretching from the top of the mountain all the way to the valley, a vast expanse of white, like a giant slide.

Lan Xiaoxiao was in a playful mood, so she lay down on the ground, her belly pressed against the snow, and with a push from her four paws, she slid down!

The snow was slippery and soft, and she glided along very fast. The wind whistled past her ears, and the snowflakes felt cool on her face.

Lan Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and excitedly bleated, her voice bouncing back and forth in the empty valley.

She slid faster and faster, and the view at the bottom of the hillside drew ever closer: a thicket of bushes, and behind the bushes lay the rocky beach of the valley.

Lan Xiaoxiao wanted to stop, but the snow was too slippery, and her claws couldn't grip the ground at all.

She couldn't stop the car.

"Waaaaah!!!"

She cried out as she rushed downhill, her eyes wide open, her four paws flailing wildly on the snow, but to no avail.

She rolled down the hillside until she reached a rocky beach.

Lan Xiaoxiao lay on the pile of rubble, covered in snow, with a few withered leaves on her head, and her ears were ringing.

Fortunately, bears have thick skin and tough flesh, so it wasn't very painful, and I was fine.

She rolled over, lying on her back, panting heavily.

Then she heard a voice.

"Woof! Woof woof woof!!!"

It was the anxious cry of a seventh grader!
