After seeing the giant panda finally give birth to her cub, everyone in the livestream breathed a sigh of relief.
The chat instantly exploded with comments.
“It’s born!
Congratulations, Su Su, on helping our national treasure give birth!”
“Watching this made me so nervous!
I was even more excited when the cub was born than when I checked my college entrance exam results!”
“So touching!
Su Su can even help deliver a panda cub!
Congratulations to our national treasure!”
“Why am I smiling like an overexcited auntie?
Hahaha!”
“Congratulations!”
“Why hasn’t Su Su stopped rubbing the panda’s belly?
Could there still be another cub inside?”
“Judging from this, it must be a multiple birth!”
At that moment, viewers began pouring into Su Lin’s livestream.
The room had originally contained only a hundred or two hundred viewers, but the number had now surpassed a thousand—and it was still climbing rapidly.
The sudden increase was largely thanks to the netizens who had originally come to watch Su Lin play games.
After witnessing the unbelievable scene of Su Lin helping a wild giant panda give birth, they immediately shared the livestream with their friends and online communities.
At first, many people thought it was fake.
A gaming streamer helping a wild giant panda give birth?
Wasn’t that ridiculous?
But once they entered the livestream themselves, they were stunned.
The scene of Su Lin calmly rubbing the panda’s belly while the giant panda drank water and gave birth right in front of the camera was simply too incredible.
“That’s a panda cub?
Oh my god, it’s so tiny!”
“Hahaha!
They really helped a giant panda give birth!
That’s amazing!”
“Holy crap!
It’s actually a wild giant panda.
It doesn’t look like it’s in a zoo at all!”
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen a giant panda give birth.
What an experience!”
“Why does my son do nothing except play video games?
And he’s not even good at them.
Sigh…”
The newcomers watched in fascination as a tiny, pink creature lay beside the giant panda.
Its eyes were still closed, and its delicate body was barely the size of a mouse.
Every now and then, it let out a soft, high-pitched squeak.
Meanwhile, Su Lin continued massaging the mother panda’s belly.
Occasionally, he even encouraged her like an experienced midwife.
“Come on, Mommy Bear.
Keep going.
You’re almost there.”
About ten minutes later—
Another tiny body was born.
The second panda cub was just as small and pink, with only a thin layer of white fur covering its body.
The mother panda slowly turned over.
She gently picked up both cubs, carefully licked them clean, and then placed them against her belly so they could nurse.
Seeing that the giant panda had successfully delivered both cubs, Su Lin finally relaxed.
He slowly withdrew his hand and stopped disturbing the mother and her newborns.
“Twins!
Congratulations to Mommy Bear on giving birth to twins!
And thank you, Su Su, for all your hard work!”
“Holy crap!
If I hadn’t watched it happen with my own eyes, I never would have believed a giant panda could recover from such difficult labor and give birth like this!”
“I’ve heard that when pandas experience difficult labor, it can sometimes last for a very long time, and the cubs can be at risk.
Thankfully, both the mother and her babies are safe!”
“They’re so pink and adorable!
They look delicious—”
“Hahaha!
What kind of comment is that?”
“Damn!
They’re national treasures and a Class I protected species in China.
What are you even thinking?”
“Nature has gained two more little national treasures!
I’m so touched!”
“Wait…
Look carefully.
One of the cubs seems really weak.”
That comment immediately caught everyone’s attention.
The viewers looked closely at the two panda cubs.
Sure enough, one of them was noticeably quieter than the other.
It barely moved and made only faint sounds.
The mother panda gently nudged the weak cub with her nose.
A low, sorrowful cry escaped her mouth.
Su Lin also noticed that something was wrong.
One cub was clearly weaker than the other, and the mother panda seemed increasingly restless.
Su Lin’s expression became serious.
In the wild, raising two newborn cubs at the same time can place enormous demands on a mother panda.
When resources are limited, a mother may focus her energy on the stronger cub because it has a higher chance of surviving.
Wild giant pandas are different from those living in zoos.
In captivity, zookeepers can intervene and sometimes use methods such as cub-swapping to ensure that both newborns receive enough milk.
But in the wild, the situation is completely different.
If this mother panda abandoned the weaker cub, its chances of survival would be extremely low.
Just as Su Lin was thinking about this, the mother panda slowly lowered the weaker cub to the ground.
She seemed ready to leave it behind.
Su Lin’s heart tightened.
Then an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
The spiritual liquid!
The system’s spiritual liquid had already shown extraordinary effects on him.
It might work on the panda cub as well.
Why not give it a try?
Meanwhile, the viewers in the livestream were confused by the mother panda’s behavior.
Some of the more knowledgeable viewers, however, quickly understood what was happening.
“What is the mother panda doing?
Is she going to abandon her own cub?”
“No!
She went through so much just to give birth, and now she’s going to leave the other one behind?”
“That’s so cruel…”
“Don’t misunderstand her.
This is a survival instinct.
In the wild, a mother panda has to divide her energy between nursing, finding food, and protecting herself from danger.
Raising two cubs at once requires a tremendous amount of energy, so the weaker cub may be abandoned if the mother cannot support both.”
“I understand the reason, but I still can’t accept it.”
“Waaaaah!
I’m crying!”
The livestream was filled with sympathy.
After all, these weren’t ordinary animals.
They were two newborn giant pandas—China’s national treasures.
But Su Lin wasn’t paying attention to the livestream anymore.
His attention was completely focused on the weak cub.
He secretly took out the spiritual liquid.
Then he dipped his finger into a few drops and carefully placed them into the tiny cub’s mouth.
The cub whimpered softly.
Su Lin gave it another few drops.
Then a few more.
Several minutes passed.
Something unbelievable happened.
The weak cub gradually became more active.
Its tiny head lifted slightly, and it began making soft noises.
It seemed to be searching for something.
Food.
Su Lin’s eyes lit up.
It had regained its appetite!
He carefully picked up the tiny cub and placed it against the mother panda’s belly.
“Mommy Bear, this is your child too.”
He gently positioned the cub.
“Look, it wants to drink your milk.”
The mother panda raised her round head.
Her black eye patches made her expression look even more adorable.
She first looked at Su Lin.
Then she looked at the cub in his hands.
The same cub she had been about to abandon.
The mother panda sat down heavily and stared at Su Lin as he placed the cub against her belly.
Then—
The tiny cub began nursing.
Its little mouth latched on, and it started drinking.
Wang Yi, who had been standing behind Su Lin, opened his mouth in shock.
He had no idea what Su Lin had fed the cub.
He had seen Su Lin secretly give it something, but he hadn’t dared to say anything for fear of startling the panda.
Now, seeing the previously weak cub nursing normally, Wang Yi couldn’t help wondering:
What kind of magical potion had Su Lin given it?
The livestream viewers were equally confused.
“What just happened?”
“The weak cub suddenly looks healthy again!”
“Wait!
Su Su gave it some water, and it actually worked?”
“Su Su, tell us honestly.
Where did you buy that water?
Is it the same water we drink?”
“This is insane!”
“Oh no, Sister Li!
Something incredible just happened!”
Seeing the cub successfully nursing, Su Lin finally relaxed.
He gently stroked the mother panda’s head.
Surprisingly, she didn’t resist.
Instead, she leaned into his palm.
Seeing this, Su Lin smiled.
It seemed that the mother panda had no intention of abandoning the cub anymore.
“Mommy Bear, take good care of your babies.
I have to go now.”
Su Lin placed a bottle of water and two apples beside her.
“Here.
These are for you.”
The panda’s eyes immediately lit up when she smelled the apples.
The sweet aroma was even more tempting than the bamboo she usually ate.
Su Lin turned around and began walking away.
The mother panda looked at the apples.
Then she looked at the bottle of spiritual liquid.
Finally, she looked at Su Lin’s retreating figure.
She hesitated.
Then—
She picked up one cub in her arms.
She carefully held the other cub in her mouth.
With her round body swaying from side to side, she slowly followed Su Lin.
Su Lin heard something behind him.
He stopped and turned around in confusion.
The scene before him made him freeze.
The giant panda was walking toward him.
One cub was held safely in her arms.
The other was gently carried in her mouth.
She walked right up to Su Lin.
Then she carefully placed the cub into his hands.
“Yingying…”
[Baby…
you raise.]
Su Lin: “…?”
He looked down at the tiny panda cub in his arms.
Then he looked back at the mother panda.
What was going on?
The livestream chat completely exploded.
“WHAT?!”
“Did that panda just give her baby to Su Su?!”
“Wait, wait, wait!
Is she asking Su Su to raise the cub?”
“HAHAHAHA!
Su Su was hired to protect the forest, not become a panda nanny!”
“Congratulations, Su Su!
You’ve officially become a panda dad!”
Su Lin stared blankly at the tiny creature in his arms.
His peaceful career as a forest ranger had officially taken an unexpected turn.
