Staring at the sincere-looking Sichuan golden monkey and the half-eaten wild fruit and pieces of tree bark in its hands, Su Lin finally understood what was happening.
A warm feeling spread through his heart.
It seemed that the Sichuan golden monkey was trying to repay him for saving its companion.
“I won’t eat these.
You should keep them.”
Su Lin squatted down and gently stroked the monkey’s golden fur a few times.
The Sichuan golden monkeys’ attempt to repay his kindness surprised the viewers.
Several fans edited clips of Su Lin interacting with the monkeys, along with the moment the monkeys tried to repay his kindness, and posted them online.
The videos quickly sparked heated discussions.
The young forest ranger whose image had already begun circulating online became a trending topic once again.

“This monkey is practically a little spirit!
It actually knows how to repay kindness.”
“Half a wild fruit and some pieces of tree bark.
Hmm…
The gift may be small, but the sentiment is huge.
For a wild animal, that’s already more thoughtful than what many people do, hahaha.”
“This guy is ridiculously lucky!
First a giant panda, then a Sichuan golden monkey, and both are so close to him.”
“This is amazing!
Sisters, hurry and join his live stream.
You can watch rare wild animals for free!”
The beautiful Sichuan golden monkey, with its striking golden fur, gained another wave of fans, and a large number of new viewers flooded into the live stream.
In less than two days, Su Lin’s online viewership had climbed from only a few hundred to more than 100,000.
The screen was filled with colorful gift effects and rapidly scrolling comments.
Su Lin politely declined the Sichuan golden monkey’s gift, patted its head, and turned to leave.
“Come on, Mama Bear.
We still have to continue our forest patrol.”
Su Lin had a backpack filled with patrol equipment on his back and a small basket hanging in front of him.
Inside the basket, one of the panda cubs was tilting its tiny head upward and wriggling around, seemingly curious about the unfamiliar world outside.
After Su Lin left, the Sichuan golden monkey looked somewhat disappointed.
It scratched its head in confusion, as if wondering:
Why doesn’t this human want such delicious wild fruit and tender bark?
Its dark eyes rolled around as it stared in the direction Su Lin had gone.
No one knew what was going through its mind.
But then something unexpected happened.
The enormous black-and-white creature that had accompanied the human let out a few soft cries.
It curiously examined the wild fruit and pieces of bark for a moment before reaching out with one paw.
It grabbed the half-eaten wild fruit.
Then it turned around and ran after Su Lin.
The entire scene was captured by the live stream.
The viewers immediately burst into laughter.
“Hahaha!
What a glutton!
Daddy doesn’t want it, but Mommy Bear does!”
“Hahaha, Mama Bear even knows which things are edible.
She grabbed the fruit and ran away!”
“Mommy Bear: Monkey, I’ll accept this on Daddy Bear’s behalf.”
“Damn, even when I’m slacking off at work, I can’t stop watching this live stream.
It’s too funny!”
“I envy people who can watch live streams during paid working hours.
Is your company still hiring?”
Su Lin had just reached out to tease the cub inside the basket when he felt something tugging at the back of his clothes.
He turned around. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
The giant panda was standing behind him, holding half a wild fruit in its paw.
Its round face was filled with anticipation, as if it were waiting for him to praise it.
Su Lin: “…”
He shook his head helplessly.
Then he reached out and gently tapped the panda’s head.
The panda whimpered softly and rubbed its head against Su Lin’s body, seemingly trying to act cute after being scolded.
Su Lin couldn’t help but laugh.
Meanwhile, after the giant panda left, the Sichuan golden monkey remained where it was, still holding the pieces of tree bark.
It looked somewhat disappointed.
Another monkey crawled over, glanced at the bark in its hand, scratched its fur, and made a curious sound.
“Chirp, chirp.
The two-legged creature doesn’t want it.
Doesn’t want it.”
The golden monkey that had offered the gift looked in the direction Su Lin had disappeared.
After making several soft calls to its companions, it suddenly followed after him.
With the giant panda following behind him, Su Lin continued his forest patrol.
About half an hour later, he stopped to rest on a small hillside.
Su Lin drank some water, ate a few spiritual fruits, and had some dry rations.
The moment the spiritual fruit entered his stomach, his fatigue seemed to disappear completely.
His strength returned within just a few breaths.
Although the forest air was relatively cool, Su Lin was still sweating after walking for so long.
He sat down and unconsciously lifted the lower edge of his shirt slightly, letting the cool breeze brush against his skin.
The giant panda, meanwhile, took the bamboo shoots Su Lin had brought from its basket.
It leaned against a piece of rotten wood and began peeling them with its paws.
Soon, the tender yellow shoots inside were revealed.
Crunch!
The panda happily bit into one.
The bamboo shoots were fresh, tender, and crisp.
The giant panda chewed with obvious satisfaction, its black eyes filled with delight.
“Susu, are you tired?
Do you need a shoulder and back massage?
It’s free.”
“Upstairs, is that really just a shoulder massage, or are you planning something else?”
“Hehe, I’ve been caught.”
“Did anyone else notice how firm Su Su’s abdomen looked?
I bet he has an eight-pack.”
“Damn!
Does anyone understand my pain?
I was just about to stare at Su Su’s abs when my boss suddenly appeared behind me!”
“Hahaha!
That person slacking off at work got caught!”
“Mama Bear looks so happy eating those bamboo shoots.
Now I want to know what raw bamboo shoots taste like.”
“Holy crap!
What was that?!
Hahaha!
I’m dying!”
In the live stream, the giant panda had been happily enjoying its bamboo shoots.
Suddenly—
Snap!
The rotten piece of wood supporting its round body gave way.
The panda’s body tilted backward.
Its hind legs flew into the air, and its entire black-and-white body rolled down the small slope like a ball.
Su Lin was startled and immediately jumped to his feet.
He hurried over to check on it.
Fortunately, the slope behind the rotten wood wasn’t very deep.
The giant panda rolled over several times before finally sitting upright.
Even after all that, one of its paws was still tightly gripping the unfinished bamboo shoot.
The panda stared blankly ahead.
Its expression seemed to say:
Who am I?
Where am I?
What just happened?
Su Lin couldn’t help laughing.
The slope wasn’t dangerous at all.
It was simply that the giant panda’s body was too round, so once it started rolling, it looked like a giant furry ball.
“Mama Bear, are you alright?”
Su Lin laughed as he walked over.
The giant panda seemed to realize that its shameless dad was laughing at it.
It immediately turned its head away.
Hmph!
I don’t want to talk to you anymore!
The panda looked annoyed.
It turned its head away from Su Lin and stuffed the bamboo shoot in its paws into its mouth, chewing angrily.
“Hahahaha!
The giant panda is way too cute!
I can’t get over that head-over-heels roll!”
“I feel bad for it, but I’m laughing so hard!
My face hurts!”
“Watching Zhu Bo’s daily life is so therapeutic.
It’s better than comedy shows!”
“Did you see that?
The giant panda is angry!
It’s so adorable.
I want to pet it!”
“Mama Bear: You rascal!
Don’t laugh at me!
Hmph!”
The unexpected incident had everyone in the live stream laughing.
Su Lin’s smile still hadn’t faded.
He reached out and helped the panda back onto its feet, gently patting it as if comforting a child.
However, there was something strange about the way the panda had tilted its head before falling.
It seemed as though it had noticed something.
The panda suddenly stuffed the remaining bamboo shoot into its mouth and crawled toward another part of the slope.
Su Lin followed its movement with a puzzled expression.
A moment later, he noticed several wild mushrooms growing among the grass.
They had grayish-brown caps with pointed, cone-like tops.
Su Lin walked over and crouched down.
He picked one up and carefully examined it.
The giant panda stood beside him, staring curiously at the mushroom in his hand.
Its bright black eyes seemed to be asking:
What is this?
The viewers were equally curious.
“What did Mama Bear discover this time?”
“Is it another treasure?”
“Zhu Bo, hurry up and tell us what it is!”
Su Lin carefully examined the mushroom for a few moments.
Then his eyes suddenly lit up.
A smile appeared on his face.
“Family, this is a good thing!”
