I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

The two pandas insisted on leaving, and Professor Xu, seeing this, simply nodded in agreement.

Since the medical examination showed no problems, let them go.

Moreover, these two bears are very smart and won't go very far.

A transport truck arrived quickly, and the two bears got on the truck very obediently without dawdling at all.

Uncle Wang chuckled, "So you're in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you stay a little longer?"

"Waaah~"

Come visit again next time, come visit again next time.

Lan Xiaoxiao rubbed against the first-year students, while the two bears stood obediently in the car.

……

After driving for several hours, we delivered the two bears to the roadside of what used to be an apple orchard.

The two bears were a little dazed when they came down; if it weren't for the smell of apples in the wind, they wouldn't have recognized the place.

The road has been widened a lot, and there are streetlights on every section. The trees on both sides are very lush.

The two bears surveyed their surroundings, and then led the way, taking the cub to their former habitat.

Fortunately, it wasn't far. It only took about twenty minutes to walk there. The whole hillside was covered with bamboo. In autumn and winter, the leaves turned golden or orange-red, like a warm-toned palette.

"Waaaaah!"

"I, Lan Xiaoxiao, am back!"

I'll retire here.

On the first day of the lunar month, he licked her nose and then went to pick bamboo leaves. In recent years, they have preferred to eat bamboo leaves, and when they eat bamboo stalks, they prefer the tender ones to protect their teeth, as the tender ones are also easier to digest.

The two bears settled here, and the local police immediately took notice, patrolling the area regularly.

As winter approached, the aroma of ripe apples wafted far and wide, and the two bears smelled it well in advance.

There was already frost in the morning, and many grasses were covered with a layer of white frost.

Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi snuggled together in the cave, sleeping in a tight embrace.

I slept until the sun was high in the sky, ate some bamboo to fill my stomach, and then went down the mountain.

"Stealing apples!"

"Meh!" Chu Yi chimed in.

The thought of sweet and fragrant apples energized Lan Xiaoxiao, and she wiggled her big butt as she swaggered down the mountain.

As I walked onto the road, I saw a mounted policeman in the distance. Two bears brazenly ran past the policeman and then broke into the apple orchard.

The police saw them and immediately notified the people in the apple orchard.

The old fruit farmer has retired, and now his daughter is in charge, who came up with the idea on the spot to use the panda gimmick to sell apples.

"Boss, what's the call for?" The employee patrolling the apple orchard received a call from his boss.

On the phone, the boss's calm female voice said, "Everyone come down the mountain, the pandas are here."

The employees thought they had misheard and readily agreed, hurrying down the mountain.

When Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi arrived, the apple orchard was deserted, except for the fragrant apples that filled the orchard.

On the first day of the lunar month, I found the apple tree with the best sunlight, then stood up on my hind legs, more than two meters tall, picked the biggest apple from the top, removed the sunshade bag, wiped it on my chest, and handed it to the little bear.

The little bear immediately caught it, took a bite, and found it crispy and sweet!

"Meow~" Chu Yi asked if it tasted good.

"Ooh!" Delicious!

They spent the day in the apple orchard, eating apples, taking a nap, and only returned to the mountains when the sun set.

Before going to bed, we eat a meal of bamboo, then cuddle up and go to sleep.

From then on, this was the daily routine: bamboo in the morning and evening, eating in the orchard during the day, and taking a nap.

Xiao Zhang would bring some cornbread and nutritional supplements.

The boss would occasionally take a few photos from a distance.

The fact that the two bears were in the orchard this year was kept secret to prevent irrational people from disturbing them.

The orchard even left a few apple trees unpicked, specifically for them to eat.

It snowed, and the bear paws left a series of large footprints on the ground.

The snow melted, and the footprints disappeared.

In spring, when the weather is warm and flowers are in bloom, Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi enjoy the freshest bamboo shoots.

But I'm so sleepy today.

Lan Xiaoxiao held Chu Yi in her arms and slept on the hillside, the sun shining on them, surrounded by a pile of bamboo shoots.

I noticed that the little bear was breathing very slowly, so I couldn't help but pat her forehead and belly with my paw.

"Eek~"

Lan Xiaoxiao made a sound.

Just like when we were kids, we'd pat the bear on the first day of the lunar new year, and it would bark.

It cackles every time you tap it, just like a screaming chicken.

The clapping motions slowed down, and the cries grew weaker.

Finally, they snuggled together and fell asleep peacefully.

Infrared cameras captured images of two pandas sleeping together, but they hadn't returned to their cave by nightfall.

Professor Xu and Xiao Zhang immediately sensed something was wrong, called Uncle Wang, and the group went up the mountain.

The moonlight shone on the fur of the two bears; even at their age, their fur remained shiny.

The night wind blew, and the bear's fur swayed.

Professor Xu stepped forward to examine the body, then turned back and shook his head.

"They're gone..."

The two bears were taken back.

That evening, Professor Xu released the last photos of Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi, with the caption: Goodbye.

The first news I heard about the two little ones after decades was a farewell.

Goodbye, Lan Xiaochu.

Goodbye, baby.

Goodbye, sob sob...
