I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

"Snapped!"

Shocked, the little bear slapped the first-year student across the face! The force was considerable; it was a real, hard slap.

Startled by the beating, it stopped, pressed down on Lan Xiaoxiao, paused for a second, then released its paws. Lan Xiaoxiao quickly crawled out from under it and ran away!

He ran a few steps, then stopped and looked back.

The bear was still lying on the ground and didn't chase after it. It watched the little bear's back as it ran away, and the whole bear froze.

It didn't know what it had done, but it knew the little bear was angry—no, not angry, but scared. The little bear was afraid of it…

Chu Yi got up from the ground, shook his head vigorously in place, and made a low "cooing" sound in his throat. He was irritable and didn't know what to do. He wanted to chase after him, but he was afraid of scaring the little bear.

Lan Xiaoxiao stood at a distance, panting, her heart pounding.

Her mind was a complete mess; she'd gone into heat on the first day of junior high...

It would do that to her—no, it wasn't "doing it to her," it was instinct. It wasn't intentional; it didn't even know what it was doing.

But Lan Xiaoxiao knew what it was. She had seen her neighbor's teddy dog ​​do that. What she was afraid of wasn't the action itself, but whether Chu Yi would leave.

Will the first-year student be like that panda that passed by, smelling the mother bear's scent and leaving?

Chu Yi stood still, watching Lan Xiaoxiao from afar, not daring to come closer. Its eyes were still red, and its breathing was still heavy, but it did not approach.

Lan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, walked over, and nudged Chu Yi's chin with her head.

Chu Yi immediately lowered his head and licked her face, his tongue heavy and quick, as if afraid that the little bear would run away again in the next second.

That night, Lan Xiaoxiao slept inside the cave, while Chu Yi slept at the cave entrance.

The two bears were a few steps apart.

Chu Yi lay face down at the entrance of the cave, his back to the cave and his face outward, his ears twitching back and forth, clearly not asleep.

Lan Xiaoxiao lay on the pine needles, tossing and turning. She was used to sleeping close to Chu Yi, but she couldn't fall asleep.

She could smell the scent of heat emanating from Chu Yi now, and it was getting stronger over time.

The smell wasn't unpleasant; it was even somewhat pleasant. But the more she smelled it, the more anxious she became.

Was she reluctant to leave on the first day of the lunar new year, or what?

……

The next day, a mother bear came to the edge of the territory.

It is not large in size, with yellowish fur. Standing on the boundary line, it makes a soft, delicate call, which is its mating call.

Lan Xiaoxiao squatted on the hillside, looking at the mother bear, her heart clenching.

Chu Yi arrived carrying a bamboo shoot. It seemed not to have seen the mother bear. It came to find Lan Xiaoxiao, sat down next to her, and began peeling the bamboo shoot.

They peeled off the skin and stuffed it into Lan Xiaoxiao's mouth, babbling to her as they ate.

It started licking the dirty fur on its paws from the first day of school.

The mother bear kept lingering at the border, and Lan Xiaoxiao didn't know what to do.

As a result, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he suddenly went towards the mother bear!

Lan Xiaoxiao stood frozen in fear, too scared to stop him.

Chu Yi ran towards the mother bear with a big stride, letting out a roar that shook the entire body!

This is the voice of defending territory, the voice of driving away outsiders!

Lan Xiaoxiao was confused. Wasn't she supposed to be going to mate with a female bear? Why was she being chased away??

The mother bear was startled. The male was quite large, baring his teeth and growling. The mother bear thought she had misheard; this male did not seem to be in heat.

The mother bear was chased away.

On the first day of the lunar month, it even rubbed its rear end against the tree trunk on the boundary, marking it repeatedly to show that this was its own territory!

Chu Yi brought Lan Xiaoxiao along and asked her to mark the territory as well.

If the scent is strong enough, pandas won't keep wandering in!

Lan Xiaoxiao seemed to understand what "first year of junior high" meant, but something still felt off.

The scent of mating still lingered, and the two bears remained separate at night, one inside the cave and the other outside.

Lan Xiaoxiao lived in fear for several days. On the first day of the lunar new year, she did not run away from home, and the mother bear that came looking for her was also driven away by Chu Yi's shouts.

Lan Xiaoxiao's mind has been in turmoil these past few days, filled with all sorts of thoughts.

Suddenly, Lan Xiaoxiao understood.

She wasn't afraid that Chu Yi would leave without a bear to keep her company, but rather that Chu Yi would go into heat and mate with a female bear. The thought of that scene made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

This isn't just possessiveness towards an older brother or a friend; it's possessiveness towards someone of the opposite sex!

She likes the first year of junior high school, and she's fallen for this wild giant panda!

Once you figure it out, all the previous struggles and discomfort become clear.

Lan Xiaoxiao buried her face in the fur on her belly; her face was hot.

When we were human, we never experienced love and never understood what it felt like to like someone.

As a result, after a few years as a panda, he fell in love with another bear.

Lan Xiaoxiao was incredibly embarrassed, feeling like a pervert for liking a bear, but then she immediately realized that she was a bear too!

Moreover, Chu Yi is the most beautiful panda among all pandas. How can any Chinese person resist a beautiful panda! She's also incredibly strong! She has excellent hunting skills, a great personality, and most importantly, Chu Yi is extremely, extremely good to her! She feeds her, cuddles her, and plays with her wholeheartedly. It would be strange if you didn't like her!

In conclusion, Lan Xiaoxiao says: It's only natural to like the first year of junior high school, and it's also natural for a bear to like it!

After thinking about it for half the night, Lan Xiaoxiao finally figured it out.

Seeing the large, dark shape at the cave entrance, Lan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but walk over.

Chu Yi was woken up by her nudge, but he didn't open his eyes. He just raised his paw and put it on her back before falling asleep again.

Lan Xiaoxiao was bubbling with joy as she lay down next to Chu Yi and went to sleep.

It wasn't hot on the first day of the lunar new year tonight. It had been sleeping soundly these past few days because it had used up all its energy.

Pandas have a very short estrus cycle, lasting only a few days.

Early in the morning, Lan Xiaoxiao noticed the scent of Chu Yi; its mating season was over!

The first heat cycle passed peacefully just like that!

Wild male giant pandas only go into heat once a year, and this year they've safely passed through it!

Lan Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised and made soft, whimpering noises.

When Chu Yi woke up, he was a little confused to see the little bear in his arms. He looked around and realized that he was sleeping at the entrance of the cave. Why was he holding the little bear?

Lan Xiaoxiao licked Chu Yi's nose, and Chu Yi immediately reflexively licked it back.

Then my pupils dilated—surprise!

The little bear forgave it!

The little bear is willing to cuddle with it now!

The spring sunshine shone on the two pandas.

The first-year student had no idea what it had gone through, but it knew that its body felt better and the bear was willing to pay attention to it.

Lan Xiaoxiao cried out, "Eek."

Chu Yi's ears twitched, and he turned to look at her.

Lan Xiaoxiao cried out again, "Eek."

This is the sound of someone asking for a hug; I've heard it since I was in the first year of junior high.

The first-year student's eyes lit up, and he sprang up from the ground, encircling the little bear with his two big paws and licking it.

He licked her face, licked her ears, licked her neck, until Lan Xiaoxiao's whole face was wet.

Lan Xiaoxiao didn't dodge. She buried her head in Chu Yi's chest, scratching at Chu Yi's fur with her paws, and whimpering softly.

The sound was crisp and soft.

Chu Yi licked for a long time before finally stopping, resting his chin on Lan Xiaoxiao's head and tightening his claws.

Lan Xiaoxiao closed her eyes.

Insects chirped outside the cave, and Chu Yi's heartbeat was right beside him, steady and steady.

She used to think that living a simple and healthy life was enough, but now she feels that just living isn't enough; she needs to be with Chu Yi.
