I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

"I just can't tell if it's male or female, and I don't know if it will hurt Lan Xiao."

"We can't worry about that now! Everyone get ready. If that panda attacks Lan Xiao, we'll rush in and drive it away immediately!" Professor Xu said through gritted teeth, already taking off his panda costume in preparation for rushing out.

However, what happened next stunned everyone.

When the giant panda heard Lan Xiaoxiao's cry, it didn't attack; instead, it paused for a moment and tilted its head.

Then, it stretched out its paw and gently patted Blue's head.

Lan Xiaoxiao: "Woof! Woof..."

The cries stopped abruptly.

Her eyes widened as she watched the enormous claw land on her head, the force as light as touching a cotton ball.

The giant panda patted itself again.

"Eek." Lan Xiaoxiao cried out reflexively.

The panda's eyes lit up.

It patted it again.

"Eek."

Take another picture.

"Eek."

The giant panda seemed to have discovered something fun, slapping its paws repeatedly, and with each slap, Lan Xiaoxiao would let out a cry.

Pat, yelp, pat, yelp, pat, yelp.

Lan Xiaoxiao: "…………"

She suddenly felt as if she had become a screaming chicken doll, screaming when pressed.

"Professor Xu..." Xiao Zhang held up his binoculars, his mouth agape, "It looks like it's... playing with Blue?"

Professor Xu was also stunned, not even noticing that the panda costume in his hand had fallen to the ground.

After playing for a while, the panda seemed to think that just taking pictures wasn't enough, so it used its paws to pull Lan Xiaoxiao over, turning her over and over to look at her, and even sniffed her belly.

Lan Xiaoxiao's body stiffened, and she let the other person do as they pleased.

She had only one thought in her mind: I'm doomed, I'm going to be eaten.

But after the giant panda finished sniffing her, it didn't bite her. Instead, it lay down on its back, scooped Lan Xiaoxiao into its arms, and started licking her fur like the big blue panda.

Lan Xiaoxiao: "…………???"

The research team: "…………???"

"This, this..." Xiao Zhang stammered, "This is a female, right? This is definitely a female! The way she's handling the cubs is so natural!"

Professor Xu took a deep breath, slowly sat back down on the ground, and picked up the fallen panda costume: "It's female, no doubt about it. Male pandas don't exhibit this kind of parenting behavior."

"But it's so big! I thought it was male..."

"Even sub-adult female pandas can grow this big." Professor Xu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "And look at its movements, they are very gentle and completely non-aggressive. It is imitating the behavior of the blue-banded cub."

"So it's been circling the border these past few days, trying to see how Big Blue will raise its cubs?"

"Very likely." Professor Xu's expression changed from fear to thoughtfulness. "This panda is probably very young and doesn't have its own cubs yet. Seeing Da Lan with Lan Xiao, it had an instinctive reaction to raise its young."

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Just then, Big Blue returned!

It had clearly heard Lan Xiaoxiao's cry and almost ran back. When it reached the cave entrance, its fur stood on end, and it bared its teeth and growled warningly.

When the giant panda saw Da Lan, it immediately put Lan Xiao Xiao down, stood up, and took a few steps back.

Big Blue rushed over and stood in front of Lan Xiaoxiao, making threatening "whoosh" sounds at the panda.

The panda hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lan Xiaoxiao on the ground, then slowly turned around and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Big Blue chased after her for a few steps, and only after confirming that she had left did it return to Lan Xiaoxiao's side, lower its head to lick her head, and then carry her back into the cave.

Lan Xiaoxiao nestled in Da Lan's arms, her heart still pounding.

So exciting.

I've never experienced anything this exciting in my entire 18-year life.

The research team was still discussing this matter as they packed up their equipment and headed down the mountain.

"Professor Xu, what should we do with the footage we shot today?" Xiao Zhang asked.

Professor Xu thought for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Has the Yepei official WeChat account not been updated in a long time? Edit the footage we took today and post it to the official account."

"Where's the title?"

"Let's call him Big Blue: 'My female neighbor next door is playing with my cub!'"

Da Lan was selected as a wild breeding subject from a young age and has performed excellently in all aspects, gaining a small amount of popularity online.

Since the giant blue dog was released into the wild, many netizens have been urging graduate students to update videos of it.

The last video update featured Da Lan successfully dating a male panda.

The video of Da Lan giving birth and taking care of her pup has not yet been released.

So the latest video is a compilation of footage of Da Lan getting pregnant, giving birth, raising her cubs, and the neighboring panda stealing Da Lan's cubs, all edited together and uploaded!

The video was posted at 7 p.m. on Friday, and people started watching it as soon as it was posted!

What kind of title is this?!

"Big Blue has cubs! And a bear stole her cubs!"

Two comments floated by in the live chat, and everyone watched the video intently for a full ten minutes.

"Big Blue, I finally see Big Blue again! She's definitely pregnant! Poor little Blue!"

"Giving birth is so hard, I feel so sorry for Da Lan."

When the red panda appeared, there was also an introduction card on the screen: "Big Blue's daughter, Little Blue!"

Pregnancy, childbirth, and raising a baby occupy half of the video, featuring classic documentary footage. However, the style takes a sharp turn in the latter half of the video!

A round, unfamiliar giant panda wandered around the Great Blue Territory.

The next second, Big Blue was chasing it, and the screen was divided into a nine-square grid, with each square showing a different video of Big Blue chasing it.

In just a few seconds, it conveyed the tug-of-war between the big blue panda and the unfamiliar giant panda, and the voice-over was also hilarious.

"Hahaha, what's going on here? Are you chasing me?"

"Is that a female or a male? What's going on? Why is it chasing our big blue dog?"

"Look at the title! My female neighbor is a female giant panda!"

The video is now in its final third, and we're finally getting to the main point of the title.

This giant panda wandered into the Blue Territory and met Lan Xiao, making the viewers on the live stream tense.

"No!"

Don't touch the baby!

The giant panda pressed Lan Xiao's head, and Lan Xiao went from barking like a dog to whimpering, the scene changing from tense to adorably quirky.

"Good heavens! It's playing with the baby cubs!"

"This is a good baby too, not aggressive at all. It just wanted to steal some bamboo shoots and play with Big Blue's baby for a bit."

"So cute! How can Lan Xiao be so cute! She's the cutest baby I've ever seen!"

"Little Blue's fur is all pink, and Big Blue is licking it so diligently."

"The new neighbor seems like a nice guy! Great!"

"The new neighbor will appear on the first day of this month's lunar calendar. Let's give it a name, how about 'First Day'?"

"A first-year junior high school student would also be quite suitable for a female bear."

The video has finished playing, but netizens are still wanting more.

"Don't keep us waiting too long! When will the next video be released?"

"We still want to see the tug-of-war between Big Blue and First Year of Middle School; Little Blue is so cute!"

……

The three pandas in the mountains had no idea that their lives had been exposed on the internet.

Yes, Professor Xu and his group also plan to name the new panda "Chu Yi" (初一).

Chu Yi never left, and even after seeing the cubs last time, it was always eager to try and even wanted to invade Da Lan's territory.

Three days later, Chu Yi barged in again!!
