"How about the streamer helps it out and takes it with you?"

"Yeah, it's fine if it hasn't been discovered, but if it has, it would be better for the streamer to help it leave this cave rather than starve to death in here."

The viewers didn't want to see such a cute creature remain trapped in the cave and starve to death.

Lin Xuan glanced at the Pteromys xanthipes that was currently eating. "I'm not sure if this Pteromys xanthipes is 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've taken quite a few screenshots too."

"Between choosing between life and scenery, I'd rather the streamer save the little flying squirrel."

"Me too."

Lin Xuan had to admit, the viewers in the livestream chat were genuinely kind-hearted.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly. "I'll try my best to see if this little guy is willing to leave with me."

After finishing two nuts, the Pteromys xanthipes set its sights on the remaining nuts near Lin Xuan.

Perhaps because it had already done it once, the Pteromys xanthipes was noticeably bolder the second time.

It quickly scurried up to Lin Xuan and stood directly in front of the nuts, eating them right there in front of him.

This time, it didn't show any signs of defensiveness.

This at least indicated that the Pteromys xanthipes felt Lin Xuan posed no danger to it.

Now, Lin Xuan and the viewers could get a clearer look at the Pteromys xanthipes.

"It's just too cute, and it's so chubby!"

"Three elements of cuteness: big eyes, fluffy, and round and fat. Anything with these three traits is adorable."

"What about those guys with big eyes, beards, and who are fat shut-ins? (wacky emoji)"

"Hey, you can't call a beard fluffy, can you? Would you want to pet someone's beard just because it's there? That's terrifying."

"Ew, stop talking, I can picture it now."

"Such a cute creature, it really hits the spot for cuteness~"

"If I sat down on such a cute animal, would it die?"

Seeing the viewers in the livestream chat acting silly again, Lin Xuan was amused.

However, being able to see such a cute little creature in this cave put Lin Xuan in a very good mood.

Watching the Pteromys xanthipes eat, Lin Xuan slowly extended his hand and gently touched its fur.

The Pteromys xanthipes, which was eating nuts, felt its fur being touched and looked up at Lin Xuan in confusion.

"It's okay, it's okay, keep eating."

Seeing the little guy's confused expression made it even cuter, and Lin Xuan felt his heart melting.

The little guy was no longer afraid of Lin Xuan. Upon hearing his words, it buried its head back into the nuts.

"Looking at the streamer, he really likes this Pteromys xanthipes, doesn't he?"

"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: Have you forgotten your old love for a new flame?"

"Xiao Qing is crying herself to sleep."

Not long after, the Pteromys xanthipes finished eating. It then looked up at the cave ceiling and heard the sound of the White-lipped Bamboo Viper.

"Little guy, did you accidentally fly into this cave?"

"I'm about to leave anyway. If you're willing, I'll take you with me. How about it?"

After speaking, Lin Xuan tentatively placed his hand on the ground.

If the Pteromys xanthipes understood his intention, it would climb onto his hand.

This way, it would be easier for Lin Xuan to take it away.

The little guy looked at the cave ceiling, then at Lin Xuan's left hand.

It hesitated for a moment, then hopped onto Lin Xuan's left hand.

At the same time, it looked at Lin Xuan, not with confusion, but with a determined expression.

It seemed the Pteromys xanthipes intended to rely on Lin Xuan's help to leave the cave together.

Seeing it climb onto his hand, Lin Xuan smiled slightly. "Alright, since you agree, I'll take you out of here later."

"That snake from before won't hurt you; I've already told it."

The nuts on the ground were almost all gone. Lin Xuan cupped the Pteromys xanthipes in his left hand and stood up.

He placed some nuts in a small pouch on his left hip and let the Pteromys xanthipes go inside.

After all, he still needed to use the rope to climb up, and it would be very inconvenient if the Pteromys xanthipes stayed on his hand.

The little guy looked at the fanny pack and saw that there was still quite a bit of food inside. Without hesitation, it burrowed in and continued to munch on nuts.

"What a little foodie."

Lin Xuan noticed that several small animals he'd encountered were quite fond of eating.

Lin Xuan went over to Xiao Qing. Upon seeing him approach, Xiao Qing turned its head away, refusing to look at Lin Xuan at all.

???

"Xiao Qing, are you jealous?"

Lin Xuan chuckled as he looked at Xiao Qing, who was acting just like a sulking child deliberately ignoring him.

"Hiss~"

Xiao Qing flicked its tongue, as if to say, I'm not jealous at all.

"Alright, I get it. I'll be able to spend more time with you after I deal with this Pteromys xanthipes."

After speaking, Lin Xuan gently stroked Xiao Qing's head a few times.

Under Lin Xuan's soothing, Xiao Qing rubbed its head against his right hand.

(Haha, Xiao Qing's behavior right now is just like an angry girl who needs to be coaxed.)

(Indeed, our Xiao Qing is this intelligent? It can actually make such gestures.)

(But speaking of which, the streamer is really good at coaxing Xiao Qing. I wonder if he'll coax his girlfriend like this when he gets one in the future.)

"Okay, get into the fanny pack, we're leaving."

Xiao Qing flicked its tongue, and with Lin Xuan's help, returned to the fanny pack on his right side.

On the left was the Pteromys xanthipes, and on the right was the White-lipped Bamboo Viper.

One was a cute creature, the other a fearsome venomous snake.

It could be said that Lin Xuan always carried bodyguards with him when he went out.

Leaving the stalactites and stalagmites behind, Lin Xuan returned to the platform he was on earlier. He gripped the rope and began to slowly climb upwards.

As for this cave, Lin Xuan could only return to explore it another time.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Xuan finally reached the cave exit. He lingered at the entrance for a minute, waiting to adjust to the outside light before stepping out.

Then, he took out the Pteromys xanthipes from the fanny pack.

"Little guy, don't fly off randomly next time. I could save you this time, but I might not be able to next time. Alright, you're out now, you can go."

Lin Xuan said gently, looking at the Pteromys xanthipes resting in his hand.

(Is it finally time to part? I wanted to see such a cute creature for longer.)

(Who doesn't? I wanted to watch for a bit longer too, but this little flying squirrel belongs to nature. It should be allowed to leave.)
