Before long, Lin Xuan drove the car into his yard.

After parking, Lin Xuan got out first, turned on the lights inside the house, then came back out with an umbrella.

He opened the back door and let Panda Mother out.

"Woo woo~"

The moment Panda Mother got out and saw the Panda Cubs in the incubators, she began calling out anxiously.

"Don't worry. Go on ahead first. I'll bring your children over."

After saying that, Lin Xuan led Panda Mother to the living room.

Then he returned to the SUV, let Xiao Qing climb onto his hand, picked up the two incubators, closed the car door, and carried them all to the living room.

"Squeak squeak~"

When Panda Mother saw her children, a delighted expression appeared on her face.

"It's still raining outside, so let the Panda Cubs stay in the incubators for now. I'll make you a nest in a bit."

The sound of the torrential rain outside never stopped as Lin Xuan busied himself indoors.

For the time being, he was the only one at home. As for his grandparents, they had gone to the city, where his parents were taking care of them.

Soon, Lin Xuan had made a nest for Panda Mother.

He then went over to Panda Mother. "Come on, I'll take you to the nest."

Panda Mother gave Lin Xuan a grateful look, then followed behind him on all fours.

When they reached the nest, Lin Xuan let Panda Mother enter first. Once it had warmed up inside, he took the two little ones from their incubators and placed them against Panda Mother's belly.

Looking at her children, Panda Mother stuck out her tongue and licked each of them several times.

"You can stay here tonight. It's still raining outside."

"Woo woo~"

Panda Mother nodded.

Lin Xuan had never expected that a Giant Panda family would one day be living in his home.

Yet now, it had become reality.

"All right, get some rest. After being busy for so long, I'm a little tired too."

Lin Xuan yawned. Once he relaxed, a trace of fatigue gradually came over him as well.

He carried the other incubator containing a Panda Cub, along with Xiao Qing, into his bedroom.

After taking off his shoes and socks, Lin Xuan set the incubator on the table and flopped straight onto the bed.

The soft bed relaxed his whole body considerably.

Before long, Lin Xuan fell asleep.

Although he was asleep, Xiao Qing did not sleep. It glanced at Lin Xuan, climbed down from the bed, and slowly made its way onto the Panda Cub's incubator.

It was as if, once Lin Xuan had fallen asleep, the task of protecting the Panda Cub had been placed on its shoulders.

If Lin Xuan had known, he would probably have been very grateful to Xiao Qing.

But he did not know now, because he was already asleep.

Lin Xuan slept until after eight in the morning.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Qing beside him, staring at him with its dark, beady eyes.

Seeing that Lin Xuan was awake, Xiao Qing rubbed its triangular head against his.

??

"Good morning, Xiao Qing."

Looking at the adorable snake, Lin Xuan smiled faintly.

He sat up abruptly, checked the time, and found that it was already after eight.

He hurriedly got out of bed and checked on the Panda Cub in the incubator. Seeing that it was still resting, Lin Xuan went over to the nest he had made for Panda Mother's family last night.

When Panda Mother saw that Lin Xuan was awake, she let out a series of squeaks.

"How was it? Did you sleep well last night?"

"This is my home. You don't need to worry."

He looked at the weather outside and discovered that it was still raining.

It seemed the rain would not stop anytime soon.

Now that he was home, Lin Xuan naturally would not keep eating jerky or anything like that.

He planned to make himself breakfast as a reward for the past few days.

As for the livestream, Lin Xuan intended to start it after breakfast was ready.

"You stay here. I'll go make something to eat first."

As for Xiao Qing, it slithered around Lin Xuan's home as though it wanted to leave its scent everywhere.

Lin Xuan tied on an apron and walked into the kitchen.

He began getting busy.

Half an hour later, a bowl of breakfast porridge was ready.

Lin Xuan then went out to the car and brought back the leftover rabbit legs from last night. He also prepared several apples for Panda Mother.

He shredded the rabbit meat and placed it on the table, then put Xiao Qing up there so it could eat more easily.

And so, one man, one snake, and one Giant Panda began eating their own food.

Lin Xuan also took the opportunity to open the livestream room.

"The streamer finally went live."

"This stream started later than the previous ones."

"Yeah. Did he have a little to drink last night and get drunk? Is that why he woke up so late?"

"No, look at the setup around him. Is this the streamer's own home?"

While working on his breakfast, Lin Xuan replied, "That's right. I'm at my home now. A torrential rainstorm suddenly started last night. The place where I set up my tent wasn't good, and the Giant Panda family's nest wasn't in a good location either."

"So before the rainstorm hit last night, I brought the Giant Panda family and Xiao Qing back to my home."

(A rainstorm? There was actually a rainstorm where the streamer was last night? The streamer didn't run into any danger, did he?)

"No. Last night was fine, and we got home safely. But it's still raining now."

After saying that, Lin Xuan adjusted the camera, allowing the viewers to see the torrential rain still pouring outside the door.

"It's normal for there to be lots of rain in March and April."

"Good thing the streamer evacuated early last night. Otherwise, it would've been dangerous."

"Yeah, the streamer was in the mountains. If he hadn't gotten out in time and had spent the night there while the rain kept falling, it could easily have caused a landslide."

"I remember seeing a news report before. Someone was driving through a mountainous area during a rainstorm, then a huge rock fell down and that person was directly—"

Lin Xuan smiled faintly at that viewer's comment. It seemed to be talking about him, but he had been a little luckier than that person.

"Then if this rain keeps going, won't Panda Mother's family have to keep staying at your house?"

"That's right. It's still raining now, and I don't know what the situation is like in the mountains. I can only go back once the rain stops and the weather clears."

"When that happens, I'll head into the mountains first to check things out. If it's possible, I'll take Panda Mother's family back."

"After all, they can't stay in my home forever."

"Haha, if a Giant Panda came to my house as a guest, I'd be thrilled."

"Yeah, I want a Giant Panda to visit my home too."

"Then maybe I could give it a good cuddle."

"Haha, buddy above, you must still be dreaming. Wild Giant Pandas are fierce; they're nothing like captive Giant Pandas."
