I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

Both pandas were paralyzed.

"It's done, hurry up and get the medical check-up done."

The center's staff sprang into action, opened the cages, and carried the two pandas out, who were then taken to the examination room.

Let's have a thorough full-body checkup!

……

Lan Xiaoxiao's mind woke up first, but her body was still asleep. She turned the device on and off several times before finally opening her eyes.

She slowly opened her eyes. White light, a concrete ceiling, iron railings.

It wasn't a cage, nor was it her cave.

Lan Xiaoxiao tried to get up, but her limbs wouldn't obey her commands, and she collapsed again after a brief struggle.

She lay there recalling how they came down the mountain to find someone to report the poachers, then they were taken away by the center and then anesthetized...

"Huh?"

What about the first year of junior high?

The little bear is bleating, looking for another bear.

She called out for a while but received no response, so she lay down to wake up from the anesthesia.

It was very quiet around her when she suddenly heard breathing sounds from the other side of the wall.

It was heavy, slow, and nasal, like some large animal sleeping.

Lan Xiaoxiao sniffed, and it smelled like the first year of junior high.

The other side of the wall is the first year of junior high.

This courtyard has walls on three sides and an iron fence on one side. Little Bear can't see Chu Yi, but he can smell him.

Smelling the other person's scent, Lan Xiaoxiao was clearly relieved.

She lay on the ground, listening to Chu Yi's breathing, steady and deep, one breath at a time.

She closed her eyes again and dozed off.

When I woke up again, I had regained some of my strength.

The little bear propped itself up on its limbs, walked to the wall, pressed its nose against it, and sniffed hard.

Beneath the dusty smell of cement lingered the scent of early childhood. She stretched out her paw to pat the railing, trying to wake the bear next door.

What's going on? How come the first-year student is sleeping longer than her?

"Huh?"

Immediately, a commotion came from the other side. The large animal got up, stumbled and staggered, and then charged at the walls and railings with low growls.

Chu Yi was, after all, a wild bear. Being locked up by humans and unable to find his beloved cub, he became extremely irritable.

It made a particularly loud noise when it hit the railing, and it kept roaring.

"Waaah!" Lan Xiaoxiao quickly cried out, "Don't bump into me, it hurts! I'm next door, don't be afraid, Chu Yi."

The staff were also drawn over, and before they even reached the courtyard, Chu Yi quieted down.

Chu Yi heard the bear's cry and smelled its scent. Its brain, still under anesthesia, reacted slowly. It stood still for a few seconds, then immediately pressed itself against the wall and bleated.

"Waaah~"

It's a little bear.

In the first year of junior high, he kept digging at the wall with his claws, very eagerly.

Lan Xiaoxiao kept calling to comfort it.

The staff came over, spotted them on the first day, and immediately bared their teeth in a warning.

"Don't be afraid, it's just the first day of the new year."

I just woke up from anesthesia and can't eat yet.

But seeing the panda's distressed state, they felt sorry for it and wished they could quickly give it honey to comfort it.

Chu Yi woke up completely from the anesthesia. The drowsiness in her body left her, and she could feel the presence of the little bear next door again. She calmed down completely.

The first-year student pressed himself against the wall, looking around with curious eyes.

Two staff members were guarding them.

Another hour or two passed.

Uncle Wang came over carrying a basin.

The air smelled sweet and delicious.

Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up instantly. This smell was honey!

She and Chu Yi had also been collecting honey in the wild, and she got stung by bees and her face swelled up, which was hilarious.

Uncle Wang squatted down, pushed the basin into the iron bars, and said, "Lan Xiao, eat up." Then he went next door to put honey in Chu Yi's pantry.

"This is a local specialty that every bear cub at the center eats: honey and milk. You'll get some too, so have some."

The milky and honey flavors are so tempting for bears.

Without hesitation, Lan Xiaoxiao walked to the basin, lowered her head and licked it. It was sweet and smooth, thicker than Da Lan's milk, and even more fragrant than the bamboo shoots from the first year of junior high school!

She buried her whole face in the bowl, bleating as she ate.

Uncle Wang was charmed by its cuteness. "Is Lan Xiao saying it's delicious?"

The little bear ate it, and the first-year student ate it too.

The sound of someone licking a bowl came from next door, splashing and slurping. Chu Yi was licking faster than her.

Uncle Wang squatted outside the iron bars, watching with a loving expression. Only after they finished licking did he stand up and take the empty bowl away.

"There will be more tomorrow," he said.

The door closed.

Lan Xiaoxiao licked the milk stains off her lips, walked to the wall and sat down, and began to lick her fur.

On the other side of the wall, she also heard the sound of it licking its fur.

"Waaaaah~"

Milk with honey is delicious, isn't it? I'll have it every day from now on!

Hopefully they'll release them later, so they can eat lots of honey and milk, and maybe other delicious things too.

Little apple, little pumpkin.

Lan Xiaoxiao's mouth waters just thinking about it.

Lan Xiaoxiao even considered, "Why don't we come down the mountain often and freeload at the center?"

"First year of junior high, do you like milk with honey?"

"It would be nice to come to the center and stay for a while every year."

"Don't keep numbing us; too much numbing isn't good."

The little bear is a chatterbox; she licks her fur and then says three sentences, filling the entire enclosure with her calls.

This call isn't noisy; it's quite cute.

At first, the staff were worried when they heard Mr. Xiong calling, so they kept observing from the shadows.

Later, they found out it was just a talkative bear and there was nothing wrong with it, so they left reassured.

In the evening, the staff brought over a large bundle of bamboo, the leaves still covered in water droplets, looking very fresh and tender.

Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi ate bamboo together, the sound of bamboo splitting and chewing filling the two rooms.

"They have such good temperaments; they were fed and watered well on the very first day."

"Especially Lan Xiao, she's not afraid of people and is even affectionate towards them." The staff member delivering the bamboo said, "When I put the bamboo in, Lan Xiao sat by the iron railing and acted cute towards me. I couldn't help but want to reach out and touch her."

"No, let's not. Lan Xiao is also a second-generation wild animal. Pandas are bears too, so don't underestimate them," a colleague said jokingly.

Hahahahahaha.

Lan Xiaoxiao listened intently while eating bamboo.

What? Touch her if you want. She's so cute, she doesn't bite.

……

They were separated for three days, and each day they had bowls of milk with honey to drink, as well as fragrant steamed buns, apples, and fresh bamboo.

Life was very comfortable, but...

Both bears were used to sleeping together, and being separated for three days caused them both to suffer from insomnia.

Especially the first-year student, who has become increasingly irritable these past two days, constantly scratching at the walls and spinning around in circles, his behavior clearly indicating that he wants to see the bear cub.

Lan Xiao always tries to comfort Chu Yi, and although she can calm him down, Chu Yi's emotions cannot be ignored.

Uncle Wang suggested to the leader, "Let's put them in the same cage. Lan Xiao has been with Chu Yi since she was little, and Chu Yi is very attached to Lan Xiao. It will be hard for them to be separated."
