Real or fake panda

"Any response from the other end? How is the red panda now?"

At the Panda Base, someone urged.

The giant panda rescued from the wild has been depressed every year since its rescue. It refused to cooperate with treatment, causing its wounds to worsen. People had no choice but to transfer it to a more professional panda base for treatment.

Even so, the treatment effect is still not good.

Staff at the nature reserve also thought that Niannian might be worried about Suisui and was in a bad mood, so they checked the surveillance cameras near the nest and found that the red panda passed away the day after Niannian was rescued.

How to say it, although it is impossible for them to catch Sui Sui and make Nian Nian happy, isn't it too cruel for it to leave like this?

Most of them have been tracking its growth since it was born in the wild every year, and are full of love for this giant panda cub that they have witnessed grow up.

Therefore, they inevitably develop a strong desire to protect.

This was evident from their initial concerns about the relationship between Sui Sui and Nian Nian. It was only after they confirmed that the red panda's examination results were qualified that they stopped worrying.

Looking back now, Niannian becomes depressed when she wakes up without seeing Suisui, but Suisui leaves without any reluctance after not seeing Niannian. They feel that this family relationship is purely one-sided and the red panda is just seeking a shelter.

But Yang Wen doesn't think so.

As an expert in giant panda protection, he noticed something strange about Nian Nian as soon as they met.

It's normal for giant pandas rescued from the wild to experience stress and rejection in unfamiliar environments, so the base didn't think there was anything wrong with Nian Nian's reaction at first. They just thought that it would stop being like that after a few more days of getting used to it.

But Niannian maintained such a sensitive and irritable state for a whole month, which was very strange.

Yang Wen, who was invited to the scene, tried to communicate with Nian Nian and found that although it ignored people, it was actually very rational.

Some people always think that small animals only know how to eat and drink to survive, but they don’t know that their emotions can also be very delicate, they just don’t know how to express them.

Therefore, there must be something that none of them knew about that was bothering Nian Nian's heart and making it uncontrollably anxious.

Could it be... that there was some hidden story behind the distress at that time?

Yang Wen, who already had this idea in mind and was planning to retrieve more detailed surveillance footage of that day, happened to run into the scene of Nian Nian excited about the sound of a red panda on his mobile phone. He became more determined and applied for an investigation overnight.

"Here, you see, it walks differently than before."

In the surveillance video, Sui Sui was wandering slowly near the cave. His movements of going up and down trees seemed a little slower than normal, and his tail also looked a little weak.

The red panda has brown-red fur and usually moves slowly, making it difficult to guess its physical condition.

But in fact, as long as you pay enough attention, there are still many details that can be reflected.

"In this frame, there's a dark spot on the stone where it rubbed against. Is that blood?"

"It licked its tail again. Was it so frequent before?"

"Where is it looking? Is this the direction where the giant panda was trapped?"

It is impossible for there to be cameras everywhere in the protected area, so he can only make guesses and restore the image based on limited perspectives.

This restoration revealed a shocking fact.

When Niannian went out in the morning to explore the new territory, he encountered a jackal and hid in a tree after being injured. Suisui waited for his companions to return, so he went out to look for them and found Niannian surrounded by jackals. He sacrificed himself to lead the jackals away and returned home alone with injuries.

"This is too exaggerated... How could such a thing happen?"

The staff at the nature reserve hesitated for a long time and only uttered this sentence.

"Then how do you explain why the jackal ran off to such a far place in the middle of hunting, how do you explain why the giant panda suddenly crawled down in the middle of hiding, and how do you explain the giant panda's excitement towards the red panda?"

After saying so much, Yang Wen was even a little confused: "You guys... only care about giant pandas and don't care about red pandas at all? Otherwise, how come you didn't notice these anomalies?"

After saying this, he ignored the staff who tried to explain and sorted out all the details in his mind.

If it was just an ordinary separation, it wouldn't make Nian Nian so depressed.

Perhaps it is precisely because it has witnessed Sui Sui leading away its enemies that it worries so much every year.

Combined with the shape of the wound on the red panda's tail in the rescue video, the facts are probably as he analyzed.

Animals really make us feel inferior sometimes.

He thought.

As soon as this official summary of the events was released, it caused a strong reaction among netizens.

In themselves, they are hot topics in their respective fields year after year.

Anyone who follows red pandas knows Xiaoneng, a boy who loves to escape from prison at the rescue center. Anyone who follows giant pandas knows Nian Nian, who is unhappy at the base. It turns out that these two have a dream connection!

[Fuck, is this true? This can’t be made up to trick me, right? ? ]

[I recognized the two in the picture. They are indeed the two. I never thought I would see big and small pandas in the wild together...]

[Wait, let me think about it, so the red panda led the jackal away, got bitten, and then went down the mountain to find its friends? ? Oh my god, an angel!! ]

[With that said, doesn’t the question of Xiao Neng escaping from the shelter have been answered? Xiao Neng must have thought that his friends were also in the shelter, so he went looking for them one by one, but when he finally found that his friends were not there, he immediately became discouraged.]

[Fuck! The logic makes sense!]

[Ahh, my scalp is tingling. This is the first time I’ve been shocked by the affection between small animals!! I’m crying. Let them be reunited soon!!]

Ning Yue: ...

But the problem is, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot! !

The red panda in the bamboo basket is fully awake and has half of its body stuck out, as if it will dive into the forest in the next second.

Do they have the right to stop it? No!

[Since Niannian responds to Suisui’s calls, maybe Suisui will too. UP, please post Niannian’s video!!]

Seeing a comment in the live broadcast room, the two of them looked at each other and decided to try their luck. They urgently searched for the rescue video of the giant panda Nian Nian and clicked to play it.

"Ahh! Ahhh!"

I downloaded the video at random, and it happened to be the cry of Niannian who was resisting treatment and trying to attack the doctor. His voice was full of fear and a little pain from the wound.

Sui Sui:!

The red panda, who had already stepped out of the bamboo basket, suddenly paused, turned around to look for its companions, and called out anxiously:

"Hmm? Woo——"

[Wow wow wow, there is indeed a reaction, those things are true, I am crying my ass off.]

[UP please change the video, how can you show this, Sui Sui will be scared to death!!]

Ning Yue was in a panic and quickly changed the video of Nian Nian and Yang Wen communicating. Nian Nian here was much more stable, but she responded to the human's words in a disjointed manner, and her voice sounded a little sad.

"Hmm?"

Sui Sui looked a little confused, but when it heard its companion's depressed voice, it subconsciously whimpered to comfort him and turned its head around.

How did the red panda know that it was talking to a friend in the past in the video? It only knew that the friend sounded sad and wanted to comfort it.

“Oh.”

Can you hear me?

Don't be sad.

Don't cry.

“Yeah, yeah!”

At the same time, at the panda base, Yang Wen was holding up a tablet, and the screen was the live broadcast room of Ning Yue releasing the red panda.

Niannian leaned on the railing, staring at the familiar red panda on the small screen, listening to the comforting voice of his little friend, and eagerly made calls in response.

"Hmm?"

"Uh-huh!"

Listening, it will definitely listen this time!

Woohoo, but Suisui, how come you are trapped in such a small place? How can I rescue you...

Niannian stared at the tablet in Yang Wen's hand, raised his paws weakly in prayer, and looked at the human pleadingly.

Please, can you let Suisui out?

"call--"

Yang Wen took a deep breath.

It's really annoying.

"Cooperate with the treatment and eat well, okay?" He spoke in a soft voice, soothing the giant pandas as if he were comforting a child who didn't want to take medicine. "Sui Sui will take a few more days to come, so Niannian should have a good rest first."

Nian Nian: "Yeah! Yeah!"

Yang Wen: "Don't be willful. You look so skinny now. Sui Sui will be unhappy when she sees you. Do you want Sui Sui to be sad?"

Nian Nian: “Woo woo woo…”

It didn't want to, so it could only cry and agree to the human's request.

On the other side, Sui Sui also calmed down reluctantly amid Ning Yue and Xu Yan's endless explanations. She no longer tried to grab the phone, but instead took the initiative to get back into the bamboo basket, as if she knew that they would send it to Nian Nian.

“Oh.”

The red panda blinked its brown eyes, looked at the light faintly coming through the gap in the dustpan, and looked forward to seeing its little friend when it opened it again.

They will definitely meet again, right?

Can’t wait!

The affection between the two little ones shocked countless netizens.

[To be honest, I haven’t seen many panda families that can reach this level, and it is really rare for cross-species family affection to reach this level.]

[It’s understandable, actually. Think about it, Nian Nian met Sui Sui during the early exploration period, and together they went through the difficult period of transition from mother’s care to independence. During the months of independence, Sui Sui lived with him, so they were like real brothers, right?]

[And Sui Sui even helped it to lead the danger away. Oh my god, I am shocked just thinking about it. Red pandas are naturally timid, but they can actually do this...]

[And then, by coincidence, both of them entered human society. In this completely strange new world full of strange two-legged beasts, their old companions were their only spiritual support...]

[I cried my ass off. This was the first time I knew about the red panda species. Now I love it so much. I cry every time I watch that live broadcast.]

The narrator spoke leisurely:

"As the variety show was about to end, the secrets of the wealthy family were revealed, and everyone knew the tortuous past of the real and fake young master."

"The real young master has become popular again, and countless passers-by have become his fans."

The camera considerately split the screen to show the discussion about Sui Sui Nian Nian on the Internet.

[What? Humans finally know what happened many years ago! ]

[Thanks to that expert, the good things that the baby has done should be known to everyone! ! ]

[I cried so hard. These two cute creatures responded and comforted each other across time and space. It was so pure and touching. ]

[I agree with this logic. I don’t care about the affairs of wealthy families, but if two furry interracial people have a loving relationship, I will be the first to watch it! ! ]

[Wow, are we finally meeting?! ]

Yes, Sui Sui is about to be sent to the panda base where Nian Nian is.

Xu Yan and Ning Yue were unable to see the little guy off for the last time because they still needed to take care of other animals in the rescue center.

Although it was a pity, they were still very glad to have had a brief encounter with Suisui.

With the widespread discussion of the giant panda and white panda incident, Suisui's rescue video attracted a lot of traffic, and their official account gained hundreds of thousands of followers overnight. The fundraising project that had previously been ignored also attracted a lot of kind-hearted people from the society. After that, the rescue of the other little guys was no longer as stressful as before.

They were flattered and thought that they must find an opportunity to visit Sui Sui at the base and spend more time with the two little ones before releasing them.

However, for now, they can only watch Suisui's movements through the live broadcast room opened at the base.

"Hmm?"

“Yeah, yeah!”

The two cute creatures hummed and chirped in the live broadcast room, saying words that humans couldn't understand, and just like that they got through the long journey.

Finally, Suisui arrived at the panda base.

To avoid any accidents, they did not meet immediately.

In addition to the positive discussions expressing their admiration for the friendship between the giant pandas and the red pandas, there were also many self-proclaimed sober netizens who poured cold water on the issue, saying that giant pandas could not have such complicated emotions and would probably kill the red pandas directly if they met.

Although Yang Wen did not agree with the words of these netizens, he was responsible for the safety of the two animals after all, so he gradually asked them to get familiar with each other again.

First, they exchanged smelly items, then they met each other from a distance through the glass window, and then...

Niannian flipped the table: "Ahhh!!"

Don't try it!

Let them meet soon!

Urgent, urgent, urgent!!

Yang Wen comforted it: "Okay, Sui Sui will really come tomorrow."

These buffers were not without effect. Not only did they give them time to get Sui Sui's test results to determine whether he could be raised together with Niannian, they also allowed Niannian to dispel his initial over-excitement, so as to avoid accidentally hurting Sui Sui out of excitement when they met again.

This is not a deliberate delay on their part.

He looked forward to it day and night. Early the next morning, Niannian stood at the door, staring at the closed door, hoping to see the familiar red ball as soon as possible.

“Oh.”

Hear it!

Niannian shook his ears excitedly.

Finally, it met the little friend it had been thinking about day and night.

“Ah…Ahwuwuwu——!!”

As soon as we met and confirmed that it was really Sui Sui, all the forced calmness that Niannian had put on over the past few days disappeared.

The black and white ball fell to the ground and cried in an ungraceful manner, occasionally banging its head on the floor and kicking around with its four paws. If it had not had no intention of approaching or harming the red panda from beginning to end, the people observing behind the scenes would have been so scared that they would have fished the red panda out.

But Sui Sui was not frightened.

"Oh." Okay.

On the contrary, when Nian Nian finished venting and lay on the ground sobbing, it walked over very naturally, rubbed its little friend's head with its chin, and called a few times to comfort him.

Niannian lay obediently on the ground and let Suisui, who was smaller than it, comfort it. From time to time, a humming sound came out of its throat, like a child complaining after being wronged.

According to the converted age, although both the giant pandas are over two years old, Niannian is indeed still a child.

Big?

What's wrong with being big?

It's still a baby!

"Uh-huh……"

I can finally act like a spoiled child. I feel so relieved...

After rubbing Sui Sui's head and feeling the familiar touch, Niannian's heart, which had been suspended in the air, finally settled down. The fatigue that had been accumulating for a long time came over him. He shook his head and fell asleep on the ground.

"Hmm?"

Sui Sui was a little confused, but also understood. After making sure that Nian Nian fell asleep naturally, he yawned as well. Then he pulled his big tail in front of him and curled up to sleep near Nian Nian's head.

The two fur balls, which were whimpering just now, fell asleep in tacit understanding.

Perhaps they are really too tired.

"…Are they all asleep?"

The people at the base were shocked.

They thought there would be some touching scene, but they just vented their emotions for a while, then licked each other and fell asleep in each other's arms.

I always feel that it's a bit normal.

“This is what happens in the wild.”

Yang Wen, however, had no regrets. Instead, he smiled as he looked at the two little animals snuggling together and falling asleep, and sighed softly, "If the rescue team hadn't arrived, this would be what they would have been like in the wild."

"After getting injured, I returned to the cave on my own, complained to my companions, and fell asleep while snuggling together for warmth."

"This is nature, plain and simple. Countless lives die every day, but countless tenacious lives survive."

"I'm looking forward to some thrilling emotional confrontation, which is a typical human perspective."

After saying this, Yang Wen didn't care what other people thought and said bluntly: "When I came here, I heard some rumors that some people seemed to think that Niannian could not survive in the wild and were considering whether to keep it in captivity. But I have submitted an application to the higher-ups. Please seriously consider releasing the giant panda Niannian. Some people should stop imagining."

"You love giant pandas, but do you love them because they are national treasures, or do you love them for themselves?"

"When you protect the giant panda, do you want to protect a doll that can be admired and manipulated, or a wild and free beast?"

“Are there any distinctions between high and low among wild animals?”

“Nature is their destiny.”

After leaving behind the same words he had used to advise some staff members at the nature reserve that day, Yang Wen left.

Most people didn't react to this. Only a very few people shook their fingers as if they were poked. They could only reluctantly extinguish the budding ideas.

Of course, the two kids just don’t know this.

When it woke up, it found Sui Sui still sleeping beside its head. Niannian blinked and smiled foolishly.

Hehe~

Finally saw Sui Sui~

Niannian lay there without moving, allowing Suisui to wake up naturally, and then he hummed a few times to say hello.

Sui Sui responded a few times, yawned, licked his paws and washed his face, then started to get down to business.

First, check your friend's physical condition.

Niannian has a say in this matter. He must make sure that Suisui is not injured before he is willing to let Suisui check him.

"Boo, boo."

Sui Sui stood up, showing Niannian his black belly without any gaps, then landed and turned around, showing it his big, intact tail.

Nian Nian Starry Eyes: "Yeah!"

So awesome!

But when Sui Sui checked its wounds, Niannian felt a little guilty and subconsciously hid his lower limbs in the corner.

Sui Sui: “Ah!”

It wrinkled its nose fiercely, walked around and saw that Nian Nian's hind legs were messily bandaged.

It’s not that the base veterinarian is bad, it’s just that he just doesn’t cooperate every year.

With great difficulty, the connection with Sui Sui has finally stabilized the wound a little, but the excitement of our reunion just now caused the bandage to become a little loose again.

How can the wound heal like this?

Seeing this, Niannian lay on the ground with his head down in guilt, but Suisui was not polite at all, he just lay down on top of him, leaned close to the black round ear and chanted repeatedly:

No leather.

Be cooperative.

Need to recuperate.

No! No! Excitement!

It's a somewhat familiar scene.

Although she was clearly being scolded, Niannian did not seem unhappy and responded obediently.

This time it was obedient, super obedient!

After dealing with the patients who refused to cooperate with treatment, Suisui began to look at the facilities in the room.

Because Nian Nian was not in good spirits before, I deliberately added a lot of giant panda toys to the room in the hope of cheering it up.

Coincidentally, most toy red pandas can also play.

Well, not bad.

Suisui was somewhat satisfied with the facilities here, and turned around and went back to the food bowl.

The pandas at the panda base are naturally provided with the best, so the food is impeccable, except...

"Hmm?"

Sui Sui tilted his head, not understanding why the extra apples in the food bowl were not eaten by Nian Nian. They were obviously rotten, what a waste.

A round head came up to it and saw the food bowl. Niannian seemed to remember something and looked inside excitedly, but when he saw the shriveled apple, he suddenly felt lost.

It wanted to leave this to Sui Sui, and had many quarrels with the two-legged beasts for this...

How come it broke? QAQ

[Is Apple meant to be passed down to Sui Sui? ]

[Oh, two sweet babies who miss each other...]

[This kind of details really touches me, so Niannian is also a baby with delicate emotions! ]

[Although I spent the rescue time alone without the participation of my friends, I still tried my best to leave traces of my friends every year. 】

[Oh no, Nian Nian is really a bit depressed, I feel like my mood is going through a lot. 】

Seeing this, Sui Sui tilted his head and did not let Niannian continue to stare at the apple. Instead, he raised his head and rubbed it, asking Niannian to take him to familiarize himself with this place.

The attention was diverted, and Niannian suddenly became lively again.

"Uh-huh!"

This shelf is climbable! It has two levels!

“Oh.”

Love the second floor.

"Hmm! Hmm~"

I knew it! I've been saving the second layer for you~

“Yeah, yeah!”

I think you can get into this!

“Hmm.”

I'll try.

The two fur balls slowly explored the indoor facilities and touched everything.

People who were monitoring the animal were very surprised to find that Nian Nian behaved extremely excitedly and curiously during the whole process, as if it was an animal seeing these things for the first time.

It was clear from previous surveillance that it had never actively explored these things.

"Like a child, you really like to share, don't you?"

"Well, to use the words on the Internet, no matter how great a movie is, you don't want to watch it alone, but even the worst movie can be enjoyed with friends."

"Niannian is a giant panda with high emotional needs..."

"Sui Sui has a quiet and reserved personality, which just complements our relationship."

"No wonder they can develop a friendship across races. They are both very smart and clever little fellows."

When night fell, Nian Nian, who had been introducing things excitedly, finally stopped and went to eat the fresh food that had been prepared with his friends.

The rotten apples were removed and the staff considerately replaced them with new, good apples.

Ouch——

Before Sui Sui came over, Nian Nian quickly snatched the new apple from the bowl, and then happily took it back when Sui Sui was concentrating on today's dinner.

look!

This is the apple for you!

It’s not broken, it’s not broken, it’s fine!

"Hmm?"

Sui Sui sniffed the apple and turned to look at it.

Even if its sense of smell is not very sensitive, the red panda can still tell whether this apple is the one from the afternoon or not.

but……

"Hmm~"

Suisui raised his head happily and rubbed against Nian Nian, as if he had really been cheated.

And Niannian shook his head happily, feeling fortunate that their perfect reunion was not ruined by a nasty bad apple.

All the depression disappeared, and I happily worked hard every year, sweeping away all the bamboo.

Sui Sui had finished eating long ago and was lying on the shelf introduced during the day, squinting his eyes and feeling sleepy.

For a time, the years were peaceful.

Late at night, the two people sleeping together in the room seemed to be communicating something.

Specifically, Sui Sui unilaterally comforted her softly:

Don't be afraid.

We won't separate anymore.

Once your injury is healed, we will escape together!

Don't worry, I'm familiar with running away~

After Sui Sui fell silent, I waited for a long time but there was no other sound, as if Niannian had really fallen asleep.

But after a while, Nian Nian suddenly turned over while sleeping, gently placed his paws on Sui Sui's tail, and squeezed out a small response from his throat.

"Um."

I miss the big trees, I don’t like it here, I want to go back.

They are going back together.

Although the food and drinks are good, it is still more comfortable outside.

Seeing that everyone is anxious, I won’t introduce the next plot (). This chapter ends here with the two little ones sleeping peacefully~
