I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

Chu Yi quickened his pace, walked ahead of Lan Xiaoxiao, sniffed the air, then called out in one direction and led the way.

Lan Xiaoxiao has only been to the neighboring territory and this territory; she hasn't been anywhere else.

Before meeting Lan Xiaoxiao in the first year of junior high school, it must have been to many places. It has experience, and Lan Xiaoxiao chose to listen to it.

She quickened her pace and followed behind the first-year students.

When she reached the edge of the territory, Lan Xiaoxiao reluctantly looked back a few times.

Besides being reluctant to part with the hole that Chu Yi dug by hand, there's also the big blue dog and the twins next door.

Waaaaah!!

Goodbye, Mommy Blue.

The two pandas, one after the other, walked out of the territory's boundary and into the unfamiliar mountains and forests.

……

The route taken on the first day of the Lunar New Year was carefully planned. We walked along the shady side of the ridgeline towards higher ground, so that we wouldn't be exposed to the sun while traveling.

As they walked, they sniffed around, and if they sensed any danger, they would lead the bear around it.

It's best not to trespass into the center of other pandas' territories; you can only pass by the edges, otherwise conflicts can easily occur.

Although Chu Yi is only a sub-adult panda, he is already very mature.

They walk around, stopping occasionally, and when they get hungry, they look for bamboo to eat.

Cool places have plenty of tender bamboo shoots.

The bamboo shoots at the foot of the mountain are already old, but the bamboo shoots here are just right.

Chu Yi walked at a moderate pace, stopping every so often to wait for Lan Xiaoxiao to catch up and make sure she hadn't fallen behind before continuing.

At night, they would find a place to nestle and sleep together all night, then continue their journey at dawn.

They crossed one mountain, and then another.

Go uphill, and the wind will be cooler.

This temperature is considered quite pleasant for living.

All that's needed is to find an unclaimed piece of land to meet their housing needs, and the migration can end.

One day, they came to an unfamiliar bamboo forest. The bamboo was very dense and there were many bamboo shoots. Just as Lan Xiaoxiao was about to stop and take a bite, Chu Yi suddenly tensed up and his ears stood straight up.

Lan Xiaoxiao also smelled the unfamiliar panda scent; it was strong and very close.

"Meow!"

Little bear, let's go.

Lan Xiaoxiao couldn't resist breaking off a bamboo shoot and carrying it away.

Before they had gone far, a huge adult panda rushed out of the bamboo forest and let out a deafening roar at them!

Little Blue's fur stood on end!

She looked at the panda's size; it was a size larger than Chu Yi and even more robust, with bulging muscles on its neck—it was clearly not to be trifled with.

Chu Yi stood in front of Lan Xiaoxiao and growled at the panda.

This was the first time Lan Xiaoxiao had seen Chu Yi with such a look in his eyes; it was full of murderous intent, like the king of the jungle.

Even the panda was stunned, sniffing the air as if trying to determine just how old the other was.

It smells like a sub-adult, but how come it has such a strong aura?

With the first day of the Lunar New Year like this, the opposing team didn't dare to start a fight.

The situation is deadlocked.

Chu Yi shouted again, warning the other party, then turned and walked away with Lan Xiaoxiao.

First grader stayed behind to cover the rear, nudging Lan Xiaoxiao's bottom with his nose to let her go, telling her not to worry.

The panda didn't chase after it.

Lan Xiaoxiao's heart pounded, and her teeth chattered before she realized she was still holding a large bamboo shoot in her mouth.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we changed our route, taking a very long detour to avoid that area.

Once they reached a safe place, Chu Yi licked the bear's fur, silently comforting the frightened creature.

Lan Xiaoxiao spat out the bamboo shoot, nudged Chu Yi with her head, and cried out, "Waaah!"

"That's terrifying!"

They almost got into a fight!

terrible!

"Luckily, I managed to find a bamboo shoot; it wasn't all for nothing that I got yelled at."

"On the first day of the lunar month, eat, you eat."

The little bear grumbled and mumbled a lot, then peeled a bamboo shoot, took a big bite, and fed it to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi opened his mouth and took it, even licking Lan Xiaoxiao with his tongue, licking it into her mouth!

"Waaaaah!"

"Huh?"

I can't reason with you, you bear. Forget it, you're just a simple panda.

……

And so, they walked for a month.

I traveled, stopped, ate, and slept along the way. Apart from my hair not being as clean as it was at the beginning, I didn't lose any weight.

They walked for so long because both bears were very particular about their territory and would only accept the best.

Good territories are usually already occupied...

They walked and walked until one day, on the first day of the lunar month, they crossed a mountain ridge and suddenly stopped.

It stood on the ridge, sniffed hard in the direction the wind was blowing, then turned its head and bleated at Lan Xiaoxiao.

Lan Xiaoxiao climbed up and looked ahead, following Chu Yi's gaze.

Between two mountains, a verdant bamboo forest undulates in the mountain breeze like green waves. At the end of the bamboo forest, there is a high rocky cliff with a natural depression in the middle, which is clearly a spacious cave. Beside the cave, a thin waterfall hangs down from the cliff. The water flow is not large, but it sparkles with a silvery-white light in the sunlight.

Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up instantly!

"Meow!"

Lan Xiaoxiao ran downstairs immediately!

The bamboo forest was even better than she had imagined; the bamboo was thick and the ground was covered with last year's fallen bamboo leaves, which felt soft and spongy underfoot.

She ran to the cave entrance, crawled inside, and took a look.

The cave was neither too big nor too small, just enough for two pandas to lie down side by side. The cave ceiling was dry, and the ground was covered with fine gravel, neither damp nor covered with moss.

Following behind, seeing the little bear lively and happy, it felt very content.

It walked to the waterfall, lowered its head and took a sip of water. It was sweet and cool, much better than the water in the creek.

Lan Xiaoxiao also came over to drink water.

"Meow~"

This is it, this is our new home!

After drinking water and resting for a while, the child started rubbing his butt against a big tree next to him to mark his territory!

Lan Xiaoxiao excitedly joined in, sticking her butt out and rubbing against the bamboo and stones.

I used to think this move was creepy, but after being a panda for so long, I think it's really cool!

Chu Yi and Lan Xiaoxiao marked out their territory and then returned to the cave.

Chu Yi scratched at the rocks at the entrance of the hole with his paws, as if checking whether the place was safe.

Lan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh when she saw how serious Chu Yi was.

Lan Xiaoxiao wasn't idle either. She ran out to find dry branches, carried them back with her mouth, and laid them on the bottom of the cave, layer after layer.

She went to find pine needles again, and this time there were many more than before, covering the entire mountain. She ran back and forth, carrying them back to spread on the branches.

I also helped out in the first year of junior high.

It didn't understand why the little bear wanted to lay these things down. In its opinion, the ground was fine and there was no need to lay anything down, but since the little bear wanted to lay things down, it followed suit.

On the first day of the lunar calendar, it picked up a lot of pine needles. The pine needles pricked its mouth and made it itchy. It sneezed, and all the pine needles came out and flew all over its face.

Lan Xiaoxiao laughed so hard she rolled on the ground when she saw Chu Yi's face covered in pine needles.

Chu Yi shook the pine needles off his face, looked down at Lan Xiaoxiao rolling around, and tilted his head.

It didn't understand what was so funny.

But seeing the little bear happy made it happy too.

And so, after several days of hard work, the cave was finally renovated.

The floor inside the cave was thickly paved, soft and springy to the touch, like a custom-made Simmons mattress. Lan Xiaoxiao lay down on it and hummed comfortably.

Chu Yi lay down next to her, and Lan Xiaoxiao rolled into her arms.

Chu Yi lowered his head and licked her ear.

Lan Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, listening to the sound of the waterfall outside the cave; white noise helps her sleep~

"Eek~"
