Chapter 159

Shen Baili looked at An'an, a strange feeling stirring in her chest. Joy and tenderness intertwined, bringing a sting to her nose.

An old friend in a foreign land.

An'an did not understand complicated human emotions. She only knew she was happy to see her good friend. And Yu Yu looked so tiny—she must have gone hungry out there and gotten thin.

She took some bamboo shoots from the keeper, kept one for herself, and tossed two to Shen Baili.

"Moo, moo, moo~"

"Shoots, yummy."

"Yu Yu likes."

An'an settled on the ground, looking even fluffier sitting down. Her big eyes blended into her natural "dark circles" as she busied herself peeling a bamboo shoot.

So cute!

Shen Baili's lovely eyes practically bubbled with pink hearts as she watched the big ball of fluff diligently peel away the husk without blinking.

An'an stripped off the tough outer layers one by one, revealing the tender, juicy flesh inside.

Thoroughly pleased with her handiwork, An'an was about to enjoy her bamboo shoot when she noticed Shen Baili had not moved. She sighed.

"Moo?"

She held the peeled bamboo shoot out to Shen Baili.

"Yu Yu, moo."

A-Deng proved a very capable interpreter. "Yu Yu, here."

"Suìsuì, she remembers you. Don't you remember her?" A-Deng could see An'an's affection and concern for Suìsuì.

Shen Baili shook her head. She did not remember. She pointed at the bamboo shoot, then at herself. "An'an, is this for me?"

An'an sighed and simply tossed it into her arms.

"Moo~"

"Yu Yu, eat. Grow up fast~"

After so long apart, this two-legged creature still gave a panda no end of worry.

Shen Baili held the bamboo shoot in a daze, a little girl's childish voice seeming to drift through her ears.

"I want to grow up soon."
