These past few days, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi have been spending their time in that newly built garden. The original house also needs to be renovated, so they will probably be living in this garden for the foreseeable future.
Seeing that the pandas were adapting very well, the leaders and keepers decided that tickets would be available for sale to the public starting on the first of next month.
Since the fight between the panda cubs that day, the keepers have been paying extra attention, all to prevent a second Er Ya from appearing.
Watching the keepers playing with the panda cubs while still working, Xu Qiaoqiao comfortably lay down on Jun Qi's stomach, picked up the bowl of milk next to her, and took a big gulp.
"Hiccup~"
Xu Qiaoqiao let out a satisfied burp, feeling incredibly content. She crossed her legs, basking in the comfortable sun, and prematurely entered a life of old age.
This life is wonderful!
Jun Qi was the same. He had probably been spending a lot more time with Xu Qiaoqiao, and his laziness had returned. But pandas are inherently very lazy animals, so this was understandable.
Click, click~
Junqi ate the lush green bamboo, one paw resting on Xu Qiaoqiao's forehead, the other paw holding the bamboo, the whole panda just lying sprawled against the wall.
Xu Qiaoqiao comfortably squinted her eyes slightly as she looked at the zookeepers in protective suits, focusing on the shorter one. Of course, the one holding the panda cub in her arms was her son, Qiao Beibei.
Clearly, Xu Qiaoqiao's method worked, and Qiao Beibei really found a friend! That's fantastic!
Xu Qiaoqiao squinted as she watched Qiao Beibei suddenly shout excitedly at a panda and try her best to squeeze towards it, clearly looking forward to seeing it.
Hmm, not bad.
Xu Qiaoqiao glanced at it again before looking away.
Xiao Jing was recently assigned two more panda cubs and is about to experience the joys of being a mother again. She's been very busy, so she hasn't really been paying attention to Xu Qiaoqiao lately.
Basic daily tasks were taken care of by the new recruits, even though Er Ya was known for her ferocity and domineering nature.
But from a human perspective, in every aspect, Er Ya is the most cooperative panda; she doesn't cry, make a fuss, or act aggressively.
She'll occasionally act cute.
Therefore, giving it to interns to practice with is the best outcome.
A few days later, the exhibition area at the base was fully open and tickets were sold.
On the first day, the place was packed with people. Xu Qiaoqiao looked at those who were clinging to the glass wall, their faces so contorted that their flesh was almost squeezed together, and they looked like they were about to break through the glass and rush in at any moment.
Xu Qiaoqiao: ...
How many tickets were sold? Is there no limit?
You should have some sense of propriety.
Do so many people come to see the pandas every day?
Xu Qiaoqiao looked away in confusion after a few seconds, then turned her head and buried her face in Jun Qi's arms.
The light in those humans' eyes was terrifying.
Xu Qiaoqiao thought she was used to this kind of gaze, but she still underestimated it. She decided not to come here again next time. She sighed. After the renovations over there are finished, she probably won't come here often, especially since it's so far away.
Fear……
The little bear grew very quickly, and Xu Qiaoqiao saw it all.
This year, little Qiao Beibei will be two years old, which means that she will have to leave her mother and live on her own.
This is how it is with pandas. When their cubs are one and a half to two years old, the mother panda will "chase" them away. By this time, the panda cubs are already able to find food on their own and have their own means of survival.
Moreover, the mother bear's behavior is also for the purpose of the next breeding cycle.
Clearly, this is the situation that little Qiao Beibei is facing now.
Xu Qiaoqiao had planned this for a long time. When she left the mother bear, it happened to be when Jun Qi moved in, so it was a natural thing for her to leave the mother bear.
The other party cared about me a lot when I was still a cub. As time went by, the little cub grew into a big cub, became independent, and was able to live on its own.
It was springtime, so the mother bear let go.
Tender buds sprouted on the branches, birds began to sing, the white earth was slowly shedding its coat, and the temperature began to rise steadily.
Spring is here.
One early spring evening, Qiao Beibei watched his parents walking side by side. He nestled in his zookeeper's arms and made "Eee-Eee" sounds, as if asking why they were leaving him.
He was very well-behaved, nestled in the zookeeper's arms, without crying or making a fuss, only puzzled. Pandas are solitary animals and don't usually get very close to each other, so Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi's situation is unique.
"Huh?"
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't react in any particular way, but Jun Qi turned around and glanced at her. In the dim light of the evening, he couldn't see the emotions on her face, but he could sense that she was looking at him and Qiaoqiao.
"Huh?"
Hearing Jun Qi's call, Xu Qiaoqiao paused. She stopped, turned her head to look at Jun Qi, and saw him tilting his head, looking at her curiously with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Xu Qiaoqiao saw a meaning in Jun Qi's eyes: Are we not going to care about that little brat anymore?
"Eek." Yes.
She didn't show much concern for Qiao Beibei in this world. In the base, Qiao Beibei was carefree, without worrying about food or the dangers of nature, which was a good thing.
Xu Qiaoqiao also knew that her situation with Jun Qi was very different from that of other pandas. Pandas live longer than hedgehogs, but some things still had to be faced, so she didn't want to leave any regrets.
