A major incident occurred this September.

At least for Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, this is a big deal.

That is—Xiaojia is going to resign.

As Xu Qiaoqiao listened to the conversation in the office, she realized that Xiao Jia and Xiao Jing had been there for almost ten years. She had thought they would continue to stay with her, but now Xiao Jia was leaving.

Upon hearing the news, Xu Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment. She raised her head, looked around blankly, blinked, and her round head was filled with great confusion.

"Huh?"

She turned her head and called out to Jun Qi, who was slumped against the wall, looking incredibly comfortable, with his legs wrapped around Xu Qiaoqiao's waist.

When Jun Qi saw Xu Qiaoqiao's gaze coming over, he paused in his bamboo-eating motion, looked up at her, and the two bears met eyes, both tilting their heads and blinking.

"Eek."

"Waaaaah."

Xu Qiaoqiao leaned over and stroked Jun Qi's bear head. Jun Qi enjoyed Xu Qiaoqiao's affectionate gesture, and his dark eyes seemed to be smiling.

Whenever he was facing Xu Qiaoqiao, the smile in his eyes never diminished.

"Oh dear..." Junjun, Xiaojia is leaving, do you know that?

When Xu Qiaoqiao called out, Jun Qi still didn't react. He didn't understand the meaning behind Xu Qiaoqiao's call; he just liked to respond to her.

The zookeepers only talked about this topic for half a minute before stopping and moving on to the next one. The rules here aren't so rigid, and people can still chat and relax while working.

In the short time that Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were looking at each other, they had already moved on to the next topic. By the time Xu Qiaoqiao realized what was happening, they were already talking about Lou Qingyu and Qiu Wuyang's marriage.

After all, these two people had visited the base a few years ago, and they haven't lost contact recently. Plus, since the other party is a public figure, their relationship has been maintained fairly well.

The consequences of that reality show weren't as bad as I'd imagined.

However, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't listen to anything the zookeepers were saying at the moment. She looked at Xiao Jia's workstation, which was empty and bare. She hadn't paid much attention to this before.

Xu Qiaoqiao walked over there, and there wasn't even a piece of paper left in the spot.

Is everything packed?

Having known each other for several years, Xiao Jia was a very good friend to Xu Qiaoqiao, and they had a good relationship. Hearing this news suddenly made Xu Qiaoqiao feel a little sad.

"Ugh."

Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao's sudden dejected look, Jun Qi was slightly puzzled. He moved over, hugged Xu Qiaoqiao, rested his chin on her shoulder, and rubbed his nose against her cheek, as if he were a bear clinging to her.

Sensing Jun Qi's approach, Xu Qiaoqiao blinked, her disappointment vanishing instantly. Suddenly realizing what was happening, she turned and buried her face in his neck, appearing very affectionate.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. As long as Junjun is still by my side, that's enough.

As for Xiao Jia, she will leave sooner or later, but in Xu Qiaoqiao's expectations, it will be decades earlier.

Before leaving, Xiao Jia still came to visit Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi.

She spent the whole day playing with the two of them, and then talked a lot with Jun Qi, mostly about the first few days after Jun Qi arrived, her thoughts on Jun Qi, and her feelings at that time. She was quite talkative.

As for the reason why Xiao Jia left, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't investigate it in detail. It seemed to be because of family reasons, but she didn't know the specifics yet, but that wasn't important.

Xiao Jia held Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi in her arms, burying herself in their fur. She didn't say much and just stayed quietly. In the afternoon, she gave both pandas a bath.

"Uh-huh?"

Jun Qi stared at Xiao Jia with his bright black eyes. It was already dark outside, and Xiao Jia should have gone back long ago, but now she was still squatting by the cage, smiling at him and Xu Qiaoqiao.

"Uh-huh?"

He glanced down at Xu Qiaoqiao and saw her lie down in his arms as usual, ready to fall asleep, completely ignoring Xiao Jia's gaze beside him.

Seemingly sensing Jun Qi's unease, Xu Qiaoqiao's body stiffened as she lay down.

She kicked her little legs, turned around, and looked up to meet Jun Qi's gaze. Her long eyelashes, hidden in her hair, trembled and were tinged with a halo under the warm yellow light of the bulb.

"Uh-huh."

Upon seeing Xu Qiaoqiao's gaze, Jun Qi glanced at Xiao Jia, his head bobbing up and down as if conveying some kind of meaning.

Xiao Jia couldn't hold back any longer when she saw Jun Qi's actions. She burst out laughing. Qiao Qiao was indeed as cute as ever.

I really hate to part with it.

But there will be other opportunities in the future.

Seeing Jun Qi's actions, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh. If she weren't concerned about her image, she would definitely be laughing so hard she'd be rolling on the ground.

Indeed, Junjun is just too cute.

Xiao Jia, having finished laughing, came over and reached out to rub Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi's heads, smoothing out a few strands of hair for Jun Qi. Her soft fingertips made Jun Qi groan.

"Alright, goodbye then, Qiaoqiao and Erya."

Watching Xiao Jia's departing figure, Jun Qi blinked, a mix of panic and reluctance welling up inside him. Although pandas may look silly, they are actually quite sensitive to emotions.

He could tell that something was wrong with Xiaojia; she was upset.

"Huh?"

Jun Qi suddenly froze, unsure of what to do, his eyes filled with confusion. He turned his head and accidentally met Xu Qiaoqiao's gaze.
