The Streamer Was So Good at Coaxing Xiao Qing, He'd Surely Be Able to Coax His Future Girlfriend Too
(How about it? Streamer, why not help it get out of here?)
(Exactly. It would be fine if it wasn't discovered, but now that it has been, if the streamer could help it leave this cave, that would be better than letting it starve to death in here.)
Naturally, the viewers did not want to see such a cute creature remain in this cave and starve to death.
Lin Xuan glanced at the Pteromys xanthipes that was eating. "I'm not sure whether it's willing to leave with me."
"If it's willing to leave with me, then our exploration of this cave will have to end here for now."
(It's okay, it's okay. We've already seen beautiful stalactites and stalagmites in this cave.)
(I took quite a few screenshots too.)
(Between a living creature and scenery, I'd rather the streamer rescue this little flying squirrel.)
(Me too.)
It had to be said that the viewers in the livestream room were still kind-hearted.
Lin Xuan nodded slightly. I'll do my best and see whether this little fellow is willing to leave with me.
After finishing two nuts, the Pteromys xanthipes turned its gaze toward the remaining nuts beside Lin Xuan.
Perhaps because it had done it once before, it was noticeably bolder the second time.
It quickly ran up to Lin Xuan, stood right in front of the nuts, and began eating in front of him.
This time, it did not even show any signs of wariness.
That at least meant the Pteromys xanthipes believed Lin Xuan posed no danger to it.
Now, Lin Xuan and the viewers could see the Pteromys xanthipes in front of them more clearly.
(This is way too cute, and it's so chubby!)
(The three elements of cuteness: big eyes, fluffy fur, and roundness. Anything with all three is adorable.)
(What about a fat, bearded shut-in with big eyes? [Grin])
(The guy above, a beard doesn't count as fluffy, does it? Do you see someone's beard and want to pet it? That's terrifying.)
(Ew, stop talking. I can picture it now.)
(Such a cute creature really hits all the right spots~)
(If I sat on such a cute animal, would it die?)
Seeing the viewers in the livestream room fooling around again, Lin Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Still, seeing such a cute little creature in this cave had put him in a very good mood.
As he watched the Pteromys xanthipes eat, Lin Xuan slowly extended his hand and carefully touched its fur.
Feeling its fur being touched while it ate a nut, the Pteromys xanthipes raised its head in confusion and looked at Lin Xuan.
"It's okay, it's okay. Keep eating."
Seeing the little fellow's confused expression only made it seem even cuter, and Lin Xuan felt his heart melting.
The little fellow was no longer afraid of Lin Xuan, so after hearing him, it lowered its head and continued working on the nuts.
(Looks like the streamer really likes this Pteromys xanthipes, huh?)
(The little flying squirrel is so cute. If it were in front of me, I'd want to pet it a few times too.)
(Xiao Qing: So now that you have a new love, you've forgotten the old one?)
(Xiao Qing has cried herself unconscious on the ground.)
Before long, the Pteromys xanthipes had eaten its fill. It raised its head, looked toward the top of the cave, and made soft chirping sounds.
"Little fellow, did you accidentally fly into this cave?"
"I happen to be leaving too. If you're willing, I can take you out with me. How about it?"
As he spoke, Lin Xuan tentatively placed his hand on the ground.
If the Pteromys xanthipes understood what he meant, it would climb onto his hand.
That would make it easier for Lin Xuan to take it out of here.
The little fellow looked at the top of the cave, then at Lin Xuan's left hand.
It hesitated for a moment before jumping onto Lin Xuan's left hand.
At the same time, it looked at Lin Xuan without any confusion in its eyes. Instead, its expression was resolute.
It seemed that the Pteromys xanthipes intended to rely on Lin Xuan's help to leave this cave.
Seeing it climb onto his hand, Lin Xuan smiled. "Alright, since you agree, I'll take you out of here in a little while."
"That snake from earlier won't hurt you. I already told it."
The nuts on the ground had nearly all been eaten by the Pteromys xanthipes. Lin Xuan held it in his left hand and stood up.
He placed some nuts in the small pouch at his left hip, then let the Pteromys xanthipes climb inside.
After all, he still needed to use the rope to climb up. If the Pteromys xanthipes stayed on his hand, it would be very inconvenient.
The little fellow looked at the pouch and saw that there was still plenty of food inside. Without the slightest hesitation, it burrowed in and continued eating the nuts.
"What a little foodie."
Lin Xuan realized that all the little animals he had encountered seemed to love eating.
Lin Xuan walked over to Xiao Qing. When Xiao Qing noticed him approaching, it turned its head away and refused to look at him.
???
"Xiao Qing, are you jealous?"
Seeing Xiao Qing deliberately avoid looking at him like a jealous child, Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Hiss, hiss~"
Xiao Qing flicked its tongue as though it were saying, I'm not jealous at all.
"Alright, I get it. Once I let this Pteromys xanthipes go, I'll be able to spend more time with you."
As he spoke, Lin Xuan stroked Xiao Qing's head a few times.
Under Lin Xuan's soothing touch, Xiao Qing rubbed its head against his right hand.
(Haha, Xiao Qing is acting exactly like an angry girl who needs someone to coax her.)
(Seriously, is our Xiao Qing really this intelligent? It can actually make gestures like that.)
(Come to think of it, the streamer is really good at coaxing Xiao Qing. If he gets a girlfriend in the future, I wonder if he'll coax her like this too.)
"Alright, get into the pouch. We're heading out."
Xiao Qing flicked its tongue, then, with Lin Xuan's help, returned to the pouch on his right side.
The Pteromys xanthipes was on the left, while the White-lipped Bamboo Viper was on the right.
One was an adorable creature, while the other was a venomous snake that frightened people.
It could be said that Lin Xuan always traveled with bodyguards at his side.
After leaving the stalactites and stalagmites behind, Lin Xuan returned to the platform from earlier. He gripped the rope and began climbing upward slowly.
As for this cave, Lin Xuan could only come back to explore it another time.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Xuan finally reached the cave entrance. He remained there for a minute to allow his eyes to adjust to the light outside before walking out.
Then he took the Pteromys xanthipes out of his pouch.
"Little fellow, don't fly around recklessly next time. I was able to save you this time, but I might not be able to next time. Alright, we're out now. You can go."
Looking at the Pteromys xanthipes resting in his hand, Lin Xuan spoke gently.
(So it's finally time to part? Such a cute creature—I still want to watch it a little longer.)
(Who doesn't? I want to watch it longer too, but this little flying squirrel belongs to nature. We should let it go.)
