CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 337: TWO LITTLE CUTIES

After several previous collaborations, rescue personnel from various organizations have great trust in Tuanzi.

She said she found an injured giant panda, and everyone believed her. Conveniently, a rescue team was very close to her, and she just needed to wait on the spot.

"Hehe!"

After hanging up the phone, Tuanzi rubbed her tiny hands and sneaked closer to the panda cub.

She was wearing a sports camera on her head, giving the audience the feeling that they were also stealthily approaching the panda cub.

[Hiss, why do I feel like a thief?]

[We’re totally being thieves right now, right in front of the panda mom’s face, stealing the cub.]

[Tears! This is the first time I’ve watched a panda cub up close. It looks so new, as if it glows white, the dark circles are quite nice, and its little ears look fluffy.]

[Feels like it was hidden by the panda mom before, so its little paws are a bit dirty at the moment.]

[Panda thief, hehe!]

Tuanzi was still very cautious; pandas can be quite dangerous. Even if the panda mom is restrained now, if she wants to protect her cub, she might attack Tuanzi. If attacking her worsens her injury, she’d rather not touch the cub at all.

The panda cub didn’t realize a human was about to pet it and was still leaning against the giant panda’s head, whereas the panda mom had already reacted, giving low calls, and the panda cub immediately crawled towards her belly.

"Okay then."

Matching eyes with the panda mom’s dark eyes, Tuanzi raised her hands to indicate giving up.

After scanning around, she found some bamboo and used her old trick, starting to gather food for the panda, cutting quite a few bamboo shoots.

She patiently peeled the outer skin of the bamboo shoots clean and handed the remainder over to the panda mom’s mouth.

"Wanna eat?"

The panda mom shot her a wary glance, but it was the panda cub who caught the whiff of the bamboo shoot’s fragrance and instinctively crawled towards the smell, only to be swatted back by the panda mom.

The panda mom could move two front paws and one back paw.

"Oh dear, if you don’t eat, maybe let the baby try."

Tuanzi sweetly called a to the cub, nudging the bamboo shoot closer, "Baby, do you want some?"

With half its body grasped by the giant panda, the cub could only try to stretch its not-so-long neck to nibble on the bamboo shoot. After a small bite, the panda mom pulled it back, causing the cub to let out discontented ’wheezes’.

[Whimpering, I really want to cuddle it.]

[This giant panda is quite vigilant.]

[Those in the wild tend to be cautious, right?]

[Miaomiao has a lot of patience, I thought she’d just brazenly grab the panda cub over.]

Tuanzi did want to hug it, but as the panda mom was uneasy, she was left... wait a minute.

She opened her emergency pack and pulled out a big, red apple.

"Hehe, this was given by my second brother; it should come in handy now, right?"

She hurriedly split the apple in two and handed it to the panda mom’s mouth.

The panda mom shot her a look, and Tuanzi’s face beamed with smiles.

"Want some?"

The panda mom glanced at her again.

Tuanzi boldly nudged the apple forward, touching the panda mom’s mouth. She started to act cheeky, "You touched it, so it’s yours now, you must finish it."

Actually, the panda mom did want to eat it.

Eating bamboo all the time, she wanted to change her taste.

After a few seconds of hesitation, the panda mom stretched out two black paws and took both apple halves.

Once she grabbed the apple, Tuanzi quickly scooped up the panda cub that was eagerly crawling in this direction.

"Come on, eat the bamboo shoot."

She dared not go too far, afraid the panda mom would eat too fast, and pushed a bunch of bamboo shoots over to ensure the panda mom had enough food while she smilingly fed the panda cub the bamboo shoot.

Two rather small black paws held onto the bamboo shoot, earnestly gnawing away, its dark eyes fully focused, seemingly unaware that the human was peeling and handing it bamboo shoots. It wasn’t wary of this meddling human either.

[Wailing, it’s really adorable!]

[Miaomiao’s earnest bamboo shoot peeling is also cute.]

[Such a close distance, but through the screen, I can’t touch it!]

Tuanzi and the panda cub were sitting face to face, and viewers could clearly see the cub’s every move.

This could be the closest they’ll ever get to a panda in their lifetime, though separated by the live stream.

After becoming a relentless bamboo shoot peeling machine for a while, Tuanzi grabbed some large leaves to clean the places the panda cub had soiled while crawling over.

Patiently waiting until the panda cub was drowsy from eating, Tuanzi reached up to remove the camera, aiming it at the panda mom who was eating.

[Eh? What happened here?]

[Although panda mom is also cute, the opportunity is rare. I’d rather see the cub.]

[Did you hear something?]

[Miaomiao’s laughter?]

[Ahhh, she must be doing what I want to do. Why won’t she let us see, not only can’t I touch, but I also can’t watch?]

Out of the viewers’ sight, Tuanzi scooped up the freshly cleaned panda cub, rubbed her soft cheeks against its round face, and pinched its small black ears.

The panda cub was so content with the food, it didn’t mind the pair of hands playing with its ears and kept happily munching on the bamboo shoot.

After playing with its ears, Tuanzi started poking here and there.

She couldn’t help but exclaim, "So soft!"

The audience immediately unified the comments.

[What’s soft?]

[Let me see, let me see!]

Tuanzi couldn’t see the comments, and although the system could, it definitely wouldn’t spoil the host’s enjoyment.

In fact, it was also engrossed in recording at that moment.

Tuanzi, similar to a host, embraced the exposed panda round ball, it was adorable, like two little balls rubbing against each other, the soft cheeks almost squished together.

Touching and pinching wasn’t enough to satisfy Tuanzi’s desire for the panda cub.

While the panda cub was gnawing on the bamboo shoot, she lifted it up, buried her head in its fluffy stomach, taking a breath in.

"Wheezing."

Tuanzi quickly put it down, only to see the panda cub glanced at her, then continued munching, she took another breath and kept an eye on the panda mom’s movements with her peripheral vision.

Since giving up the cub for the apple, or maybe realizing Tuanzi wouldn’t harm them, the panda mom relaxed while eating, forgetting the cub, Tuanzi, and that she was still injured.

When the rescuers arrived, what they saw was Tuanzi happily peeling bamboo shoots for the cub, while the panda mom lay sideways gnawing on bamboo shoots, all of them quite at ease.

"The scene is quite harmonious," someone said, and soon everyone agreed.

The vet began checking the panda mom, and other rescue personnel assessed to determine the cause of her injuries.

Some people edged over, also wanting to feed the panda cub.

One of the rescuers gave Tuanzi a thumbs up.

"Miaomiao, you did a great job!"

Tuanzi beamed brightly, "I’ll keep up the good work~"

[Keep it up with petting pandas?]

[Don’t be fooled by this little cutie, she’s secretly petting pandas!]
