However, although Lin Xuan had placed the Pteromys xanthipes on the ground, it did not leave right away.
Its gaze remained fixed on the pouch at Lin Xuan's left hip.
(This little flying squirrel isn't leaving. It keeps staring at the streamer's waist—does it know there are still nuts inside and want to take them away?)
(No way, it ate so much already. Is it still not full and wants to take some home to eat later?)
(This little flying squirrel is way too smart!)
"Little one, do you want the nuts in my pouch?"
Seeing that the Pteromys xanthipes kept staring at it, Lin Xuan smiled slightly. He took out all the nuts from his waist pouch and placed them in front of the Pteromys xanthipes.
The moment it saw so many nuts on the ground, the Pteromys xanthipes immediately used its forelimbs to stuff them into its cheek pouches.
Before long, its mouth had become completely puffed up.
(Haha, this little flying squirrel is really greedy. It was already a little chubby, and now that its mouth is stuffed with so many nuts, its little face looks even rounder.)
(But that just makes it even cuter.)
"All right, go back to your own home. I'm leaving too."
Lin Xuan smiled at the Pteromys xanthipes, then coiled up the rope, put it into his backpack, and turned to leave.
The Pteromys xanthipes lifted its head and watched Lin Xuan's departing back. Only after Lin Xuan had vanished from its sight did it leave with its food.
(Streamer, this little flying squirrel is so pretty. Why didn't you keep it by your side?)
(Yeah, this little flying squirrel is so cute. If the streamer kept and raised it, the number of viewers in the livestream room would probably go up too.)
Although Lin Xuan now streamed the Giant Panda family as well, viewers would eventually grow tired of watching them after becoming accustomed to all that cuteness.
But if the streamer chose to keep the little flying squirrel by his side and raise it, the viewers would have another animal to watch.
Looking at the comments in the livestream room, Lin Xuan shook his head.
A serious expression appeared on his face.
"I know everyone loves such adorable creatures, but I can't selfishly force this Pteromys xanthipes to stay by my side."
"Everyone knows that I started livestreaming so that people could learn about nature, wildlife, and our country's scenery."
"And I chose livestreaming so everyone could discover the adorable creatures living in the wild."
"But that isn't a reason for me to forcibly keep the Pteromys xanthipes by my side and raise it."
"Every animal has its own way of surviving. We humans shouldn't forcibly interfere."
"If we do interfere, it might even have the opposite effect."
"I remember that when I was an intern working in animal care, I saw quite a few animals die because of humanity's forced interference."
"I was deeply saddened at the time, but there was nothing I could do."
"So I think we shouldn't do this. At the very least, we shouldn't force our interference upon them."
"Rescuing an animal in distress is a good thing, but after rescuing them, using our own selfish desires to forcibly keep them by our side is a bad choice."
At this point, Lin Xuan had voiced his true thoughts.
As for Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing had come to find him of its own accord and wanted to stay by his side.
That was why Lin Xuan had agreed.
But that Pteromys xanthipes had not chosen to remain at Lin Xuan's side.
Once Lin Xuan left, it left as well.
(The streamer is right. We humans really shouldn't forcibly interfere with the lives of wild animals.)
(Every animal has its own habits and way of life.)
(I remember seeing a news story abroad before. There was a zoo that forced animals to perform in order to make money. When the animals refused, they whipped them until they were scared.)
(A zoo like that shouldn't exist in this world.)
(That's right. Some people claim to be protecting animals, yet force them to perform. We should condemn that kind of thing!)
Although the viewers loved cute animals, most of them were rational.
Naturally, they understood what the streamer was saying.
(This streamer said it so well. No wonder he's such a positive-energy streamer!)
(Exactly. The reason I've kept watching this streamer is because he's always promoting positive values!)
(Streamers like him are far too rare in today's society.)
(Some streamers shout about positive energy, yet swear constantly in their livestream rooms. Streamers like that shouldn't be streaming at all!)
At the Xia Country Endangered Animal Research Institute, Su Yao watched Lin Xuan's livestream room. After hearing what Lin Xuan said, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Look at what Comrade Lin Xuan said. He truly deserves to be called a positive-energy streamer. He rescued the Giant Panda family despite the danger to himself, and after streaming for so long, he still hasn't had any scandals."
"So I believe we should do our best to help Comrade Lin Xuan!"
Everyone else in the office nodded after hearing Su Yao's words.
Indeed, this kind of streamer consistently promoted positive values. When dealing with wild animals, he had never shown even the slightest hint of disgust. It was obvious that he was not faking things just to gain traffic.
Unlike certain streamers who put on a persona in front of the camera, only for their private lives to be exposed and their image to collapse.
Such situations were extremely common in today's society.
Su Yao sent a comment in Lin Xuan's livestream room.
(Comrade Lin Xuan spoke very well. I hope Comrade Lin Xuan can always remain true to his original aspirations. If Comrade Lin Xuan encounters anything he does not understand in the future, he can contact us. We will certainly provide Comrade Lin Xuan with assistance.)
(Wow, Old Master Su! Long time no see. You finally sent a comment again.)
(Yeah, we haven't seen Old Master Su comment for several days. Today, we finally get to see him again.)
Su Yao smiled at the viewers' enthusiasm in the livestream room.
(It has been a few days. I wonder how everyone has been feeling physically.)
(Thank you for your concern, Old Master Su. I'm in great health.)
(Me too.)
(How is Old Master Su's health?)
(Haha, thank you all for your concern. I'm doing quite well too. I eat well and sleep well.)
(I'm very satisfied with what Comrade Lin Xuan said just now.)
(Everyone should also remember that once we decide to raise an animal, we should not abandon it easily and should not give up on it easily.)
(And please love small animals and love nature.)
