Now that the Golden Cat had left, Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before deciding to build a fire after all. That way, they could keep wild beasts away.
If he slept too deeply at night and failed to wake up in time, the Panda Mother and her family could easily be put in danger.
He switched on the flashlight he had brought with him and began gathering firewood.
After collecting quite a pile, he used his lighter to set it alight.
Firelight flickered through the jungle, illuminating the surrounding area.
"All right, Giant Panda, it's getting late. If any animals show up tonight, remember to wake me."
"Squeak squeak~~"
The Panda Mother let out a squeaking sound and nodded.
Lin Xuan glanced at the Giant Panda and the Panda Cubs, smiling faintly before entering his tent.
"All right, everyone, I'm really going to sleep now. Good night to you all as well."
With that, Lin Xuan ended the stream.
That afternoon and the few hours of night that followed had left Lin Xuan tense the entire time.
First, he had needed to Deliver for the Panda Mother, and there could not have been the slightest mistake. Second, he had encountered the Golden Cat at night and worried that he would fail to protect the Panda Mother's family, putting the Panda Cubs in danger.
Now that everything was finally over, Lin Xuan climbed into his sleeping bag and fell asleep before long.
However, while Lin Xuan slept soundly, the internet was buzzing.
A few netizens edited that night's stream into short videos and uploaded them online.
(Wow, this streamer is amazing. Not only did he Deliver for the Panda Mother, but when he ran into the Golden Cat at night, he wasn't afraid at all and protected the Panda Mother's family!)
(Yeah, this streamer is the most awesome one I've ever seen!)
(If I were out in the wilderness at night and ran into something like that, I'd probably be so scared I'd run away immediately. How could I possibly have the streamer's guts!)
(A streamer this impressive—shouldn't we all go follow him?)
(Can someone tell me which platform this streamer's Livestream room is on?)
(Yeah, I still don't know which platform this streamer uses.)
(A hidden gem of a streamer like this—if we follow him now, we'll be veteran fans later!)
(I'm sold, I'm sold.)
Early the next morning, not long after dawn, the Panda Mother came to Lin Xuan's tent. She wanted to look inside to see whether Lin Xuan was awake, but when he slept at night, he only left a tiny opening.
As a result, the Panda Mother could not see what was going on inside.
Unable to see inside, the Giant Panda could only stand outside the tent and let out a low growl.
Lin Xuan, who had been sleeping, suddenly heard the Giant Panda's low growl from outside. His drowsiness vanished at once. He hurried out of his sleeping bag and opened the tent.
The next second, a black-and-white ball of fluff pounced on him and knocked Lin Xuan over.
????
Before Lin Xuan could even react, the Giant Panda used its tongue to lick his arm.
Fortunately, the Panda Mother had not used her tongue to lick his face. Otherwise, even if it did not break the skin, it would at least leave a red mark on Lin Xuan's face.
"You really are something!"
Seeing how excited the Panda Mother was now that he was awake, Lin Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He reached out and gave the Giant Panda's fluffy fur another vigorous rub.
At that moment, a strange thought surfaced in Lin Xuan's mind.
Could the Panda Mother have thought he had been gone for too long and wanted to wake him up?
But because he was sleeping inside the tent and she could not see what was going on, she had growled outside it.
"Did you think I slept too long, so you wanted to wake me up?"
Lin Xuan asked tentatively.
"Woo woo~~"
The Panda Mother blinked her round black eyes and rubbed her head against Lin Xuan's, as if silently confirming his answer.
Naturally, Lin Xuan was delighted by the Panda Mother's behavior.
Since he was already up, it was time to begin a new day's stream.
It was still early in the morning, and there were not many viewers in the Livestream room when he first went live.
But as soon as the stream started, viewers flooded the screen with comments.
(Damn, after not seeing each other for one night, the streamer is already doing this kind of thing with the Panda Mother!)
(Looks like the Panda Mother was the one who knocked the streamer down, right?)
(Damn, I saw some Giant Panda anime art before. Seeing this scene now reminded me of it again!)
(Bro upstairs, stop looking at that weird stuff.)
(Aren't you going to share that kind of thing with the brothers?)
(Yeah, come on, send it to me in a private message. Let me see what kind of pictures they are.)
(You send one casually, and I'll send one casually?)
(Haha, bro upstairs.)
(Still, the Panda Mother acting cute is seriously adorable.)
(Haha, it's obvious the Panda Mother truly sees the streamer as one of her own. Otherwise, why would she be so close to him?)
(Wow, I want a Giant Panda to act cute in my arms too. Giant Pandas are just too adorable!)
(Exactly. Although the Panda Mother showed her fierce side last night to protect her children, that's all over now. Looking at her like this, I want to stay in the Panda Mother's embrace too—even touching her once would be enough!)
"All right, all right. You're already a mother. Why are you still so fond of acting cute?"
Lin Xuan smiled helplessly and reached out to rub the Panda Mother's head.
"Come on, let's go see your children. I'll give them a checkup while we're at it."
After Delivering for the Panda Mother yesterday, it had gotten rather late. Considering the Panda Mother's and Panda Cubs' condition, Lin Xuan had not examined them then.
Now that he had the time, he naturally wanted to check on the Panda Cubs' health.
As if she understood Lin Xuan's words, the Panda Mother shifted aside, planted all four paws on the ground, gave Lin Xuan a look, then headed toward her children.
Only after the Panda Mother left could Lin Xuan get up. Once he was on his feet, he followed her over to the Panda Cubs.
When he arrived, Lin Xuan saw three Panda Cubs squeezed together in their little nest, each pressed against the others.
The Panda Mother returned to the nest as well and began nursing her cubs.
Perhaps they smelled their mother, or perhaps they caught the scent of food.
The three Panda Cubs struggled to prop themselves up and crawled toward their meal.
The three Panda Cubs, not even a day old, had only white newborn fur on their bodies.
Only as they gradually grew would their Giant Panda features begin to appear.
(The Panda Cubs are so adorable~~)
(Yeah, I really want to hold them in my arms.)
(It's funny, but after all this time, this is still my first time seeing Panda Cubs.)
(Bro upstairs, who isn't the same? Ever since graduating, I've been working nonstop and have hardly had any time to go out.)
(I finally have a day off today, but I only want to stay home. I don't feel like going anywhere.)
(It's already pretty great to be able to see Giant Pandas and their Panda Cubs in the streamer's Livestream room.)
