To give Er Ya some options, Xiao Jing came up with several more meaningful names and wrote them on a sign so that Er Ya could look at them carefully.

Moreover, there's an advantage to doing this: if it's just wishful thinking, then Er Ya can just pick any sign and the name will be decided.

The panda cub has completely changed from its newborn mouse-like appearance. It is now covered in fluffy fur, and it makes soft, coquettish noises. It also loves to stick close to Xu Qiaoqiao.

Ah, the cubs are so wonderful!

Holding the baby, Xu Qiaoqiao exclaimed for the 178th time, "He's so fluffy all over, super mischievous, and very brave."

It's a baby boy.

After the baby's gender gradually became clear, Xiaojing told Xu Qiaoqiao that it didn't matter to Xu Qiaoqiao whether it was a boy or a girl.

In her eyes, most pandas look the same, except for a few that are really distinctive, like Junjun, whom she would never mistake.

As for the other pandas, she distinguishes them by their scent.

During the months that the panda cubs were changing, Xu Qiaoqiao rarely went out and mostly stayed with Junjun and the cubs.

Xu Qiaoqiao didn't want to miss these precious moments. Watching the little mouse-like creature slowly transform into a panda before her very eyes, Xu Qiaoqiao found it incredibly magical.

The child is also very attached to Junqi, and his favorite place to stay is his belly.

The bear cub lay on its father's belly, limbs outstretched, looking just like a dough ball.

"Eek."

When Xu Qiaoqiao saw Xiao Jing walk in, she assumed that Xiao Jing had come to ask for the baby again, so she hurriedly moved to the edge of the cage so that she could eat the honey more easily.

but……

Xu Qiaoqiao sniffed, tilted her head toward Xiao Jing, and looked a little confused. Why couldn't she smell the honey?

Didn't bring honey?

Three seconds later, Xu Qiaoqiao realized that the person hadn't come to see the baby. Oh well, then it's none of my business.

I thought I'd get to eat more honey today.

Xu Qiaoqiao smacked her lips a few times, then tried to move back, but was immediately stopped by Xiao Jing.

“Er Ya,” Xiao Jing said with a smile.

"Huh?" What do you want?

When Xu Qiaoqiao looked back, she saw that Xiao Jing was holding those makeshift signs, cut from pieces of cardboard into squares, with words written on them.

Um?

What is this thing?

These signs immediately caught Xu Qiaoqiao's attention. She paused, turned her head, and patted the signs a few times with her paw, making a soft patting sound.

Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao's actions, Xiao Jing smiled gently and obediently squatted down to match Xu Qiaoqiao's current height, allowing her to have fun.

She glanced at Jun Qi leaning against the wall. The teddy bear was lying on his stomach, surrounded by fresh bamboo leaves, bamboo, and other miscellaneous snacks, looking quite plentiful.

When he sensed Xiao Jing's presence, Jun Qi only slightly raised his eyelids before continuing to eat the bamboo. Xu Qiaoqiao had told him to bring all of this food, and he had to finish it all.

Tsk tsk.

Xiao Jing's expression shifted subtly for a moment. This was the first time she had seen Qiao Qiao so far away from Er Ya. They hadn't been sticking together at all today.

Moreover, Jun Qi's gaze revealed a sense of utter despair, suggesting that their baby probably caused him the most trouble.

In a moment, Xiao Jing thought of many possibilities, the most likely being that the child was being difficult.

But my stomach still feels full...

Jojo was truly the first male panda she had ever seen that cared for its mother and cubs.

This panda couple really brings her a lot of surprises.

"Er Ya, guess what this is?" But that wasn't what she was mainly concerned about this time. Xiao Jing glanced at it and then looked away. She smiled and said to Xu Qiaoqiao.

"Eek!" Of course, it's a playing card.

Xu Qiaoqiao called out, then tried to take the card down to see what was written on it.

After all, her eyesight isn't very good; she's practically nearsighted. The reason she's been able to live a normal life all these years is because she mostly relies on her scent to identify bears.

but……

Why does it feel like she's just playing around?

Xiao Jing's eyes, in particular, were full of affection, as if to say: Take your time, have fun, there's no rush.

Xu Qiaoqiao: ...

This was not her original intention.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at these "lively" cards and her forehead was covered in black lines. She wanted to grab one of the cards to see what was on it, but how did panda paws grow like that?

Her paws kept moving, but because panda paws are structured differently—round and suitable for holding round objects—the cards Xiaojing brought were obviously not included.

Seeing how the cards would immediately slip away as soon as she held them, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but feel discouraged, and her curiosity about the cards diminished considerably.

I just wanted to grab the sign and see what was on it, why did I have to do this?

Forget it, I'll just wait for Xiaojing to bring them to me herself so I can see them one by one.

Xiao Jing's smile widened as she watched Xu Qiaoqiao's angry expression; it seemed the other woman had had her fill of fun.

She then revealed the purpose of her visit, and as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Qiaoqiao's enthusiasm, which had just been dampened, was rekindled.
