I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

Xiao Zhang's eyes widened, almost thinking he was seeing things, but how could he be mistaken for two things that were so big!

Xiao Zhang stammered, "Professor, in the first year of junior high, it..."

"What did you say?"

"I'll bring it back and show it to you!"

It was hard to explain, so Xiao Zhang quickly went down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the scientific expedition team has set up a green tent camp.

Holding up his camera, Xiao Zhang said, "Look, we've captured something we never expected."

Professor Xu took the camera and looked at it.

The image freezes on the moment the first child fell, with the camera precisely focused on its lower abdomen at a tricky angle, under ample light, and with crystal-clear detail.

Two round, bright pearls hang prominently in the center of the picture!

"..."

"..."

silence.

A long silence.

"Professor Xu," Xiao Zhang hesitated, "this is...something only males have, right?"

The first-year student had a thick coat of hair, and unless you were at a really bad angle, you really couldn't get a good picture of it.

"Male." Professor Xu's voice was very soft, as if he were talking to himself, "Sub-adult, male."

"But...but..." Xiao Zhang stammered, "its previous parenting behaviors..."

"Male pandas also have the instinct to raise cubs, but it is very rare." Professor Xu took a deep breath. "In the wild, male pandas occasionally show interest in cubs, but it usually doesn't last long. I've never seen anything like what happened to Chu Yi, who came every day on time for more than ten days, feeding them, licking their fur, and imitating a female panda taking care of her cubs.

"So what do we do now?" another team member asked. "Should we remind Big Blue? Male pandas can still pose a threat to cubs..."

Professor Xu remained silent for a long time.

He looked at the cave in the monitor, where Lan Xiaoxiao was nestled in Da Lan's arms, drinking milk, completely unaware of what had just happened.

"Observe first," Professor Xu finally said. "Chu Yi's nurturing behavior is not faked; it genuinely likes Lan Xiao. So far, it has not shown any aggressive behavior and has been taking care of the cubs. We cannot assume it has malicious intent just because it is male."

"But……"

"I know," Professor Xu interrupted Xiao Zhang. "If it showed any aggression, we would intervene immediately, but right now, it has no ill intentions, and there's no need to interfere with the behavior of a natural animal."

Xiao Zhang opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Professor Xu glanced at the frozen image on the screen again and couldn't help but whisper, "Chu Yi, you've really given us a big surprise."

He paused, then laughed and said, "If this were posted online, netizens would go crazy."

How could I not share something so interesting?

That evening, after the research team descended the mountain, the post-production staff began editing the video files in the archive, and released them an hour later.

The title reads: "Feeding Baby Animals: The Neighbor's Shocking Secret!"

The heartwarming scene of feeding Lan Xiao on the first day of the Lunar New Year is shown in its entirety, without any cuts.

As soon as the studio's account was updated, netizens came to watch, and there were comments right from the start.

"I am coming!"

"They're here, they're here."

What kind of title is this? What earth-shattering secret is there in the first year of junior high?

"Bluey is so cute! Chu Yi is so loving; it really loves its cubs."

"My God, she's even peeling the baby's skin and only feeding him the tender tips of bamboo shoots! What kind of top-notch wet nurse is Chu Yi?!"

"Lan Xiao can't eat any more, hahaha. Besides making Sun Sun drool all over her, what else can she do?"

The scene was extremely heartwarming until Big Blue's bark came, which suddenly turned the whole scene into something both funny and tense.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they fled in panic, and the large black and white dumplings rolled in the mountains.

Just as the progress bar was about to run out, the audience thought the story was over, but in the last second of the ending, a huge scene stunned everyone!

Two huge, thunderous eggs in the middle of the fur!

The live chat disappeared, but the video's comment section exploded!

"A first-year student is male?!?!?!?!?!"

"Hey, is my eye seeing things?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That's clearly a mother bear!!! Her licking of her cubs is even more professional than Big Blue's!!!"

"I watched that scene twenty times. It was a male, a real male."

"Oh no, oh no, Xiong Xiong! Big Blue and Little Blue are in danger!"

"Wait, a male panda, spending all his time licking the fur of other bear cubs and feeding them bamboo shoots??? Is that even scientifically possible???"

"Professor Xu, come out and explain yourself!!! Why didn't you say so earlier that the first-year student was male!!!"

So, the girl in the first year of junior high isn't the girl next door, but the perverted (not really) boy next door's mother? ???

This video went viral and trended on social media, appearing at the top of the charts.

Now, not only panda fans know about the male mother named Chu Yi, but many internet users also know about it.

The video went viral, and many people found Professor Xu's Weibo account, leaving various comments and inquiries.

"What's going on? The first one is male, lingering around the big blue bear. Could it be dangerous for the mother bear or her cubs?"

Will the researchers intervene? Will they try to drive it away?

The next morning, Professor Xu shared a link to a paper he had published three years earlier on his account. The paper was titled "A Case Study of Individual Parenting Behavior in Wild Male Giant Pandas." This study documented the world's first rare case of a wild male giant panda exhibiting sustained parenting behavior towards cubs that were not its own.

Professor Xu also commented on himself: "We only just found out that first-year students are male."

……

Lan Xiaoxiao was unaware that the panda that often sneaked over to play with her was male.

She even thought the other party was female, and her maternal instincts overflowed, so Lan Xiaoxiao even called it "Auntie" in her heart.

My aunt came again today.

Big Blue went out to find food, and no sooner had it left than Chu Yi sneaked over.

With its big, bulging mouth, it waddled over, looking incredibly cute with its chubby, white skin.

When Chu Yi walked up to the bear, he loosened his grip, and seven or eight bamboo shoot tips fell to the ground.

Lan Xiaoxiao: "Waaah!"

Hearing the little bear bark, Chu Yi happily circled around her, his eyes sparkling.

Chu Yi put the bamboo shoot tip in her mouth, wanting her to eat it.

This is covered in bear saliva! Lan Xiaoxiao was a little disgusted, but then she thought, she's been drinking bear milk for two months now, so what's a little bit of saliva on the bamboo shoot? Once her teeth grow a bit more, she'll actually be eating bamboo shoots.

Lan Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and instantly gritted her teeth.

On the first day of the lunar month, Chu Yi sat down against the stone wall, lifted up the cub, and placed it on his belly to lick its fur.

The wind rustled through the bamboo forest, making the bamboo leaves whisper in the breeze.

Lan Xiaoxiao was so sleepy from grinding her teeth that she dozed off. The bamboo shoot tip slid right off her belly. She quickly reached out to catch it, but lost her balance and slid down from her big breasts to between her legs.

Lan Xiaoxiao picked up the bamboo shoot covered in mud, threw it away with a hint of disgust, and then turned around to climb back onto the giant panda's belly to sleep.

But when he turned around, he saw two brown things.

"?!?!"

The little bear's mouth was wide open.
