Won't Be That It's Still Hungry, Right?

After mixing the Milk Powder for the Panda Cub, Lin Xuan checked the temperature of the bottle and found it just right. He then took out a very soft towel, carefully wrapped up the Panda Cub that had been crying nonstop, and placed it in his arms.

He found a place to sit, then tilted the bottle slightly so the Panda Cub could drink properly.

Catching the scent of milk, the little one immediately opened its mouth and began to suckle.

Its adorable appearance melted the hearts of Lin Xuan and the viewers in the livestream room.

(Wow, the Panda Cub looks way too cute when it drinks milk.)

(Haha, it really is adorable when it drinks.)

(When it gets a little bigger, won't the streamer have to prepare its favorite Milk Bowl?)

The warm, sweet milk flowed down the Panda Cub's throat and was swallowed continuously. At that moment, it no longer cried nonstop like before.

It really had been starving. It had kept crying because it had nothing to eat.

Perhaps because it had been so hungry, the Panda Cub drank nearly more than half the bottle in no time.

Seeing how quickly the little one was drinking, Lin Xuan was worried it might choke on the milk.

In a gentle voice, he said, "Slow down, little one. No one's going to steal it from you."

Perhaps it understood Lin Xuan's words, or perhaps it was already full. After suckling for a while longer, the Panda Cub let go and gave a milky burp.

"Are you full, little one?"

Lin Xuan smiled faintly, set the bottle on the ground, and reached out to gently pat the Panda Cub.

He was worried that it might spit up from eating too much, so helping it burp now was best.

Just like a child, if they ate too much at once, they could easily spit up. Helping them burp beforehand made it much better.

(With those familiar moves, I won't believe the streamer if he says he doesn't have a child.)

(Why would the person above think the streamer has a child? Didn't he say he's always been single? Maybe he helped relatives take care of their children before.)

A viewer explained on Lin Xuan's behalf.

"Haha, brother from earlier, I really don't have a child. This brother is right—my experience came from young mothers in other families."

"One of my relatives has a child. During the New Year, they came to visit our home. I noticed that every time my relative fed the child, they would help them burp afterward. I got curious and asked about it."

(The streamer doesn't even have a girlfriend, yet he pays attention to things like this.)

(Not having one now doesn't mean he won't have one later. It's good to learn this stuff early. When he gets married and has children someday, he won't be caught off guard.)

"That's right. Some knowledge will be useful to us, whether now or in the future. If we learn it early, we'll be able to use it when the time comes. Although I'm still single now, that doesn't mean I'll stay single forever."

Lin Xuan said with a grin.

(Haha, I've learned something. When I get married and have kids in the future, I can do this when feeding them too.)

After chatting with the viewers for a while, Lin Xuan placed the Panda Cub back beside Panda Mother.

After setting it down, he watched the other two Panda Cubs. If either of them had not eaten enough, there was still half a bottle of milk left to feed one of them.

After observing them for a while, Lin Xuan discovered that the smallest of the three was perhaps too weak to compete with the other Panda Cub for milk.

Although it was not crying, it kept nuzzling against Panda Mother's belly.

"Little one, are you not full either? Come, come over here."

Lin Xuan wrapped this Panda Cub in a towel as well, placed it in his arms, then picked up the half-full bottle and fed it.

With the experience from the first Panda Cub, Lin Xuan was much more practiced with the second one.

(If the streamer had a child, that child would definitely live happily under his care.)

(The way the streamer looks at the Panda Cubs is so gentle. Whoever becomes his girlfriend, he would definitely cherish her too.)

(Wow, hearing you all say that suddenly made my heart flutter.)

(Yeah, mine too. If I could become the streamer's girlfriend, I'd probably wake up smiling in my dreams.)

(Heh, a reminder to all you wishful-thinking ladies: if you want to become the streamer's girlfriend, there's something you need to keep in mind!)

(What is it?)

(You all know the streamer works with wild animals, so he definitely has to deal with fierce beasts. If you're scared, I'd advise you to give up on the idea.)

(Uh...)

After that viewer's reminder, the young women in the livestream room recalled what had happened last night.

That Golden Cat had frightened quite a lot of girls.

If they became the streamer's girlfriend, they would inevitably encounter such things too.

"That brother is right. My standard for choosing a partner is that she must at least not be afraid of wild animals. It would be even better if she were a little braver."

Lin Xuan said half-jokingly.

If he really had a girlfriend, he would probably let her experience some of these things too. If she rejected even that, then their future relationship would likely be affected.

"Squeak~ Squeak~~"

While chatting, Lin Xuan heard the Panda Cub in his arms cry out. Looking down, he saw that the little one had already let go of the bottle and seemed to want to stand up.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan smiled faintly, gently helped the Panda Cub burp, then placed it back beside Panda Mother.

Just as he placed the Panda Cub beside Panda Mother, the one that had drunk the Milk Powder first suddenly crawled out from beneath Panda Mother's belly and made its way toward Lin Xuan's hand.

Seeing the little one's movements, Lin Xuan pursed his lips in a smile and did not pull his hand back. He watched as it stopped in front of his hand, stuck out its pink little tongue, and began licking him.

???

"Little one, what are you doing? Do my hands smell like milk? Are you still not full?"

(No way, that Panda Cub ate so much just now and it's still not full?)

(It can eat way too much. If it keeps competing with Panda Mother for food, won't the other two Panda Cubs get even less food every day?)

(If that's the case, Panda Mother might abandon this child.)

(Why would she abandon this one instead of the other two?)

(The reason is obvious—this Panda Cub eats too much.)

(Panda Cub: "So it's my fault for eating a little more?")
