There are few suitable adult pandas this year. Although everyone has already accepted that Er Ya and Qiao Qiao are a couple, some people think that this is not necessarily the case. What if other pandas can develop a relationship with Er Ya? After all, the number of female pandas is relatively small.

Furthermore, male and female giant pandas go into estrus at different ages. Qiao Qiao will not reach sexual maturity until the year after next. Who knows what will happen given the difference between these two years?

At this time of year, other panda parks send their adult pandas here. Since most pandas are raised at their bases, zoos in the province have reached a consensus to send their adult pandas here.

Of course, sometimes people from neighboring provinces come over, since there are more giant pandas at the base.

So in the first few days of spring, Xu Qiaoqiao saw unfamiliar pandas being brought over every day, all of them adult pandas.

Are all these pandas here to bond with their mothers?

Xu Qiaoqiao sat next to Jun Qi. The two of them were sitting on a swing, watching the trucks drive in, just like when Jun Qi came before. They slowly lowered the cages in, opened the cage doors, and then a majestic panda with a swaggering gait walked out.

Xu Qiaoqiao has seen this scene more than once today.

By the way, did pandas mate like this when she was still alive on Earth?

Xu Qiaoqiao was confused. Although she liked pandas, she simply liked their adorable, goofy appearance and their fluffy ears. However, she hadn't paid much attention to the scientific facts about pandas' habits and lifestyle.

Thinking back to what I've read before, generally speaking, a panda's mating season is roughly from March to May each year, which seems like a long period, right? But for pandas, it's quite the opposite.

Because the actual estrus period only lasts a few days, especially for female giant pandas, it can even be as short as two hours. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until next year.

It was still quite easy.

Unlike when I was a hedgehog, my heat cycle would last for two or three months, which was a real pain.

Moreover, Xu Qiaoqiao now knows that she is the only one who has reached sexual maturity, while Junjun has not yet, and he will have to wait another two years.

Wow, the difference is so big?

Three days later, all the pandas finally arrived. There were no special arrangements for the pandas who were already adults; as usual, a special area was set aside for them to socialize.

After all, giant pandas are not promiscuous animals; they also choose their mates carefully. If one of them is not satisfied with the other, mating cannot continue. In some cases, the two giant pandas may even fight.

This is also one of the main reasons why several zoos outside sent their giant pandas here.

However, none of this has anything to do with Xu Qiaoqiao, because she is currently watching something embarrassing.

That's—cat movies!

Xu Qiaoqiao squinted her sleepy eyes, her fur standing on end. She yawned, clearly having just woken up.

"Oh, Er Ya is awake."

When the staff carrying the TV saw that Xu Qiaoqiao had woken up, they smiled and said something to her. Their smiles seemed to have a hint of teasing, but Xu Qiaoqiao was still groggy and didn't see the expression in their eyes.

"Mmm~"

Xu Qiaoqiao made a soft sound as she looked at the television set that had been brought in, and a dark, shadowy object that looked like a disc player. What was this all about?

Normally, she could probably come up with an answer in a second, but right now, she only had one thought in her mind: five minutes, just five minutes.

Xu Qiaoqiao subconsciously looked outside. The sky was already bright, the sun was high in the sky, and several birds were chirping outside. Looking at the bright light bulb, it seemed that she had slept well until noon again.

But... she still couldn't resist the drowsiness, and Xu Qiaoqiao decisively chose to go back to sleep. She hugged Jun Qi, put her legs around his waist, buried her face in his chest, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep again.

After all the machines were set up, Xiao Jing came over with the discs, intending to show them to Er Ya and Qiao Qiao. But when she came in, she saw the two pandas sleeping together in each other's arms.

"Hey, Er Ya was just awake a moment ago, how come she's fallen asleep again?"

The staff who had just been carrying things saw Xu Qiaoqiao fast asleep and said in confusion, "Generally speaking, it's already noon now, there's no reason why these two pandas shouldn't be awake."

After all, that's how Er Ya and Qiao Qiao's lives are in everyone's eyes.

Today was different. The two pandas didn't wake up until the afternoon. When they woke up, Xu Qiaoqiao saw a group of keepers squatting around her cage, all smiling at her.

Xu Qiaoqiao: ...

Xu Qiaoqiao!!!

I'm not sleepy anymore!

What's wrong?

Startled, she immediately sat up from the ground, hurriedly patting Jun Qi's head and shaking his shoulders. Jun Qi was already a light sleeper, and Xu Qiaoqiao's movement woke him up.

Jun Qi exclaimed and quickly helped Xu Qiaoqiao sit up, glancing around nervously.

"He's awake! Put him down, put him down!"

Then I saw Xiaojing take a disc and put it on. After a few beeps, the TV started playing.

This action made Xu Qiaoqiao's mind immediately clear. She looked at the smiling zookeepers around her and the things playing on the TV, and suddenly it all made sense.

Cats, cat movies? ? ?

Giant pandas learn many skills during their growth, one of which is mating.

They wanted to personally observe how adult giant pandas mate.

For giant pandas raised at the base, this requires keepers to prepare these things in advance so that the pandas can observe and learn properly.

Jun Qi's gaze gradually hardened as he saw the zookeepers. He gripped Xu Qiaoqiao's arm tightly, looking extremely cautious. If the circumstances hadn't prevented it, he probably would have rushed out with Xu Qiaoqiao.

"Eee-ee, ee-ee, ee-ee-woo-woo~" Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, there's no harm in it, be good.

Xu Qiaoqiao patted Jun Qi's head and occasionally rubbed his ears. Just as she was about to do something else, she heard a bleating sound coming from the screen.

As an adult, she certainly knew what that sound was making.

Holy crap, did it release that fast?

Xu Qiaoqiao screamed in her heart: I never thought that the first movie I would ever watch in my life would be a cat movie.

Upon hearing the sound, Jun Qi looked ahead and saw two pandas in the scene, one of them pressing down on the other, looking very forceful.

It kept making bleating sounds, which is the sound a panda makes when it's in heat.

What are they doing?

Jun Qi suddenly became curious.
