Seeing her child drinking milk, Panda Mother was finally relieved.

"Okay, leave the Panda Cub to me. You should go back and take care of your other children," Lin Xuan said with a smile to the mother panda.

Children.

Hearing this, Panda Mother suddenly remembered the two other cubs in her nest. She had rushed over because she was worried about the crying Panda Cub.

Now, she needed to return to her nest to care for the other two.

She let out a squeak towards Lin Xuan, glanced at the cub drinking milk, and then turned to leave.

(They say women are inherently weak, but motherhood makes them strong. It's the same in the animal kingdom.)

(Indeed. This Panda Mother heard her cub crying and rushed over, even peeking through the car window to check on it.)

(In the animal world, giant pandas are known to dote on their cubs.)

(However, pandas also know when to discipline their young.)

(After all, animals have survived the law of the jungle, finding their own ways to live. They spoil their young, but not excessively.)

(Worrying about one's child is something any mother would do.)

(True. I remember when I was sick as a child, my mom would say she disliked me, but she carried me for several kilometers through the mountains to the town hospital.)

(I'm always grateful to my mother when I think about that.)

(I'm so envious. I grew up in a single-parent household without a mother's love, but my father was very good to me.)

(So, whether it's fatherly or motherly love, both are great.)

(But some people are just...)

Watching the comments in the live stream, Lin Xuan was reminded of his own childhood.

His family was well-off, and from birth, Lin Xuan never lacked for food or clothing. Everyone in his family treated him very well.

Before long, the Panda Cub, having finished its milk, voluntarily let go of the nipple.

Lin Xuan smiled at the adorable little creature and gently placed it back into the incubator.

He then went to check on the young falcon. Although its condition hadn't changed much, Lin Xuan noticed that the meat paste he had injected into the young falcon's crop with a syringe had noticeably decreased.

It can digest food?

Seeing this, Lin Xuan's heart filled with excitement. He quickly filled two bottles with hot water and tore off a small piece of sterile medical pad.

The natural pad was just a temporary solution; it would eventually dry out if left on for too long, and Lin Xuan didn't have many of them.

Hot water bottles were more convenient, cheaper, and wouldn't cause dryness.

After placing the sterile pad under the young falcon, he wrapped the two hot water bottles in a towel and placed them underneath as well.

Only then did Lin Xuan feel at ease putting the young falcon back.

At night, Lin Xuan built a fire. Nearby, he also replaced the young falcon's hot water bottles with fresh ones, wrapped them in towels, and placed them beside it.

Lin Xuan didn't sleep well that night, as he had to wake up periodically to check on the young falcon.

When he woke up the next morning, Lin Xuan even had dark circles under his eyes.

(Did the streamer get beaten up last night?)

(Nonsense, how could the streamer get beaten up? These are clearly dark circles from staying up late.)

When the live stream started, viewers saw the dark circles under the streamer's eyes.

(The streamer looks like he barely slept last night, right?)

(Streamer, you've worked hard.)

(It's really not easy taking care of the young falcon.)

"These are from staying up late last night. I had to wake up constantly to check on the young falcon," Lin Xuan explained.

"That's why I have them. But as long as the young falcon is okay, my hardship means nothing."

Compared to his own efforts, Lin Xuan was happy as long as the young falcon could recover safely.

(So, streamer, how is the young falcon doing?)

(How has it recovered?)

"It's doing alright. It should wake up today, and then we can observe it closely."

(That's good. But streamer, you should also take care of yourself and not get too tired.)

(Yes, while you need to care for the young falcon, streamer, you also need to rest. We'll be worried if you collapse.)

Lin Xuan went over to the young falcon to check on it. After being fed yesterday, the crop of the young falcon had softened considerably.

Its breathing was no longer as rapid and weak as before; instead, it was much steadier.

He checked the sterile medical pad for droppings and found no dark red bloodstains, meaning the little one wasn't suffering from internal bleeding.

Next, Lin Xuan would begin preparing food for the Panda Cub, Xiao Qing, and the young falcon.

After feeding the Panda Cub and Xiao Qing, he would then feed the young falcon.

To Lin Xuan's surprise, as he was feeding the young falcon, the little creature was already able to lift its head slightly, and its eyes could open a little.

This was all a very good sign!

.

Waking up early in the morning, he fed the Panda Cub, prepared food for Xiao Qing, fed the young falcon, started a fire, boiled water, and filled new bottles, and so on.

After all this busy work, it was already past nine o'clock.

Perhaps this is the downside of having children, jpg.

Today, Lin Xuan did not continue to explore the deep forest. Instead, he chose to stay put and keep the young falcon company.

In the afternoon, the young falcon's energy had recovered considerably, and it was able to move around a bit.

Its dark, beady eyes looked at Lin Xuan curiously, and then it let out a "gehe, gehe" sound towards him.

Hearing the young falcon's cry, Lin Xuan looked over and saw the little creature seemingly sizing him up.

"How are you doing, little one?"

Seeing the situation, Lin Xuan slowly walked over, trying his best to soften his tone to avoid startling the young falcon, which had just begun to recover.

The young falcon tilted its head upon hearing Lin Xuan's words and let out another "gehe, gehe" cry.

It looked as if it were asking, "Did you save me?"

"I found you in the wild. You were very weak at the time, so I rescued you and brought you back here."

Although Lin Xuan didn't know what the young falcon was saying, he still informed it about its current condition.

The young falcon flapped its wings, then realized how weak its body was and that it couldn't fly at all.

"Little one, your body hasn't recovered yet, so don't move around recklessly for now."

"I will take good care of you."

Lin Xuan said gently to the young falcon.

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, the young falcon understood its current situation. Even if it wanted to fly, it currently had the desire but not the strength.
