Panda Cub – Chapter 57.2

Two cubs fighting

As soon as the words fell, the slightly bigger panda cub immediately stopped in its tracks, while the other cub did not. It bit Jing Dan’s ear, and the two cubs stayed in this position, staring blankly at He Ying.

He Ying: “…”

She took out her phone, calmly took a picture of the two cubs in front of her, looking at the screen where both cubs appeared clueless and dazed. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, almost imperceptible. She then put away her phone and said, “Both of you, separate!”

Saying that, she immediately helped Jing Dan rescue her ears from the bear’s mouth and then placed them on either side, with a large white pillow in the middle.

Looking at the two separated cubs, He Ying began to feel a headache. She didn’t even know why the soul suddenly attacked Jing Dan. Looking at the soul’s previous look, it seemed like it couldn’t accept her being close to Jing Dan, so why did Jing Dan put this strand of soul on her in the previous life?

The Jing Dan on the right was still a bit annoyed, and while she was annoyed, she also felt wronged. She lifted her paw, touched her ear, and then turned to the other side of the pillow to give a disgruntled snort.

The cub on the other side also seemed unable to bear watching Jing Dan like this and ran a few steps before disappearing into He Ying’s body.

He Ying: “…”

She didn’t expect that this cub couldn’t stand her being close to Jing Dan, but was still willing to return to her body…

He Ying’s gaze shifted to Jing Dan, who was sniffling in grievance.

She got up, her paws stepping on the soft bedding, and wobbled toward He Ying, wanting her to see the bitten ear and the place where the soul had previously hurt her.

Looking at the cub who was whimpering and snuggling up to her, He Ying’s heart completely softened. How could there be such an adorable cub?

When would it finally be hers?

He Ying helped her massage her ears, looking at her pitifully sniffling appearance with a mix of amusement and exasperation. She couldn’t help but pinch the other ear that hadn’t been bitten, saying, “What’s the big deal between you and it?”

Moreover, she was slightly larger in size than the soul, yet they ended up evenly matched in their scuffle, with her ear getting hurt in the end. It was a bit embarrassing for a bear.

“It struck first!” Jing Dan complained, clearly indicating that it was the soul who made the first move. Couldn’t she defend herself?

He Ying wanted to laugh, but seeing her looking so distressed, she feared that Jing Dan would get even angrier if she laughed. So, she held back, massaging her ears and saying, “It seems like it’s very upset about us being affectionate.”

“What does it matter to it if we are affectionate?” Thinking about it, Jing Dan was still angry. Her bottle of milk was gone just like that, and she hadn’t even eaten much jelly!

Watching He Ying, who didn’t seem to understand her meaning, sighed softly. She really wanted to know what the relationship between the two of them was in their past life. However, now that they were both in this life, neither had any memories. The only one who might have some memory, the soul, was unwilling to return to Jing Dan’s body, which made the situation quite futile.

The soul was quite spiritual, but unfortunately couldn’t speak. Even if she wanted the soul to write something, she didn’t know if it would be willing, and she didn’t know when it would come out.

After massaging Jing Dan’s ears for a while, He Ying looked at Jing Dan, who still looked like a little cub, and asked, “Aren’t you going to change back to your human form?”

Jing Dan: “…”

In a somewhat gloomy tone, she said, “It drained my soul power, so I need some time to recover.”

He Ying fell silent for a moment, then directly reached out to turn off the light and tucked the little cub into her arms, saying, “Stop trying to recover. If you keep recovering, you’ll end up with soy sauce. Just go to sleep like this.”

Jing Dan: “Oh.”

She didn’t object either, as she also felt that sleeping in her original form was more comfortable.

By midnight, the little cub in her arms instinctively climbed onto her stomach and fell asleep, causing the blanket to form a slight curve, and He Ying was already so used to it that she didn’t even wake up.

The next morning, He Ying was once again awakened by the sound of the program team knocking on the door. She opened her eyes, glanced down at the bulging blanket on her stomach, and smiled helplessly. Getting out of bed, she approached the door and opened it just a crack, speaking to the staff outside, “You don’t need to come knock to wake us up in the future. If we’re awake, we’ll open the door.”

Upon hearing He Ying’s intentionally lowered voice, the staff outside knew that there was still someone inside who hadn’t woken up, and that person happened to be their top boss. They quickly covered their mouths and nodded in understanding.

After closing the door, He Ying turned back and saw that the panda cub who had been sleeping on the bed was no longer there. In her place was a tall, slender woman lying on the bed with her head turned to the side, long hair scattered across her cheeks, looking a little dazed in her sleep.

“Aren’t you getting up yet?” He Ying asked.

Jing Dan kept her eyes closed, her eyebrows forming a little mountain, and mumbled, “Don’t want to get up.”

Why was she waking up earlier to participate in a program than she did for work!

Seeing Jing Dan being so reluctant to get out of bed, He Ying just smiled and didn’t urge her to get up. Instead, she went to freshen up first and then returned to the bed, saying, “You can continue sleeping. I’ll go for a run outside. If you’re up, you can just give me a call?”

“Mm.” Jing Dan mumbled in response.

“And…” He Ying leaned down next to Jing Dan’s ear and lowered her voice to say, “The camera in the room has already been turned on. Remember not to transform back.”

“!”

Jing Dan was much more awake now. She opened her eyes and looked at He Ying, pondered for three seconds, then said, “Wait for me, I’ll go running with you!”

He Ying: “…” The sun had already risen in the west.

“Okay.” She responded with a smile. It was great that this person was willing to wake up early and go for a run.

She watched as Jing Dan finished freshening up and changed into sportswear. Both of them were wearing the same set of exercise clothes, with He Ying in gray and Jing Dan in black, giving off a slight hint of matching couple outfits.

As they descended the stairs, the other guests had also started to wake up. They looked groggy and exhausted as they lounged on the first floor lobby, clearly feeling very tired.

“Good morning, Boss, Teacher He!” Zheng Weiyi casually waved her hand, perhaps due to the familiarity that had developed over the past couple of days. She no longer referred to Jing Dan as the president, but instead as Boss, with a playful tone.

Jing Dan nodded lightly, while He Ying asked with a smile, “What’s wrong? You look a bit listless.”

At the comment, Zheng Weiyi gave them a resentful look. Yesterday, while they had ended the game early to rest in their room, it had been a different story for her team. They had been pushed to the brink of exhaustion by the game, and it was only thanks to Ning Yiming recognizing her a step before Bian Fengyu would have been identified that they had avoided the fate of having to feed the cows.

“Teacher He, it’s hard to have energy!” Jiang Ya chuckled helplessly. Yesterday he had spent the entire day cleaning mud, hadn’t finished watching the movie, and today they were headed to help locals feed the cows. There wasn’t a single easy task.

He Ying smiled but didn’t respond further. At that moment, she felt a gaze on her, and turning her head, she saw Bian Fengyu’s assessing look. He then shifted his gaze to Jing Dan and stood up, asking, “Are you going for a run, President Jing? I’ll accompany you.”

As soon as his words fell, the other three people lying on the sofa exchanged looks and thought that this person must have a few screws loose. What kind of program was this? It was a CP love variety show! The point was to witness the love between you and your official partner, not to see you break up another CP on the spot and then go after someone else!

They could all imagine that if this episode aired, Bian Fengyu would definitely be cursed out.

Jiang Ya shrank back a bit, it wasn’t his business, he didn’t want to get caught up in it!

And after the show aired, sure enough, Bian Fengyu was heavily criticized. Not only could his own CP fans not accept his behavior, but even the fans of Chun and Jingming’s CP got involved. After all, who was he trying to woo? It was Jing Dan! Wasn’t he clearly trying to interfere in Chun and Jingming’s relationship? They wouldn’t allow it!

Following this incident, Bian Fengyu was also scolded by his manager, who told him to be smarter. With so many cameras around in public, why would he try to get close to Jing Dan in private?!

However, regardless of how he would be criticized later on, he still maintained a very confident demeanor. With a smile on his face, he appeared gentlemanly, as if waiting for Jing Dan’s approval.

Jing Dan frowned slightly, her voice icy as she said, “No need, I have He Ying to accompany me.”

Without paying attention to Bian Fengyu’s expression, Jing Dan grabbed He Ying’s hand and left.

He Ying, being led by Jing Dan, glanced down at their intertwined hands, then looked at Jing Dan’s slightly cold expression, and smiled faintly, saying, “We’re out now, no need to be angry.”

While telling Jing Dan not to be angry, deep inside, she had already become shrouded in a layer of gloom because of Bian Fengyu. She didn’t want Jing Dan to have any contact with someone like Bian Fengyu, as she found him too dirty and feared his stains might rub off on Jing Dan.

Although she and Jing Dan didn’t have any relationship, and Jing Dan’s feelings towards her were unclear, she had a strong possessiveness towards Jing Dan. No one could covet her!

She didn’t mind showing this possessiveness to Jing Dan.

“You should stay away from that Bian Fengyu in the future.” When she said this, she didn’t avoid the cameras or turn off the recording device on herself.

Jing Dan looked at her, puzzled, and said, “I was already far away from him, his aura is really unpleasant.”

The disorderly and unpleasant smell, which could make one frown just by taking a whiff, was a stark contrast to the fresh and comfortable scent emanating from He Ying.

Upon hearing this, He Ying chuckled lightly and said, “The bottle of milk you forfeited last night, I’ll reward it to you later.”

Jing Dan’s eyes brightened slightly. However, while she was happy, she also pondered in her heart. Was He Ying rewarding her because she stayed further away from Bian Fengyu? Would that mean in the future, she would be rewarded every time she stayed away from someone with an unpleasant aura?

He Ying, unaware of Jing Dan’s thoughts, took her for a run around the small town, treating the whole experience as a vacation.

When they returned, everyone else had finished breakfast. With Jing Dan’s previous worry no longer an issue, He Ying took charge of breakfast again. Jing Dan ate while also feeding He Ying beside her.

—Ah, they are so skilled and natural together!

—Ugh, this is just unreasonable if they’re not a pair of lovey-dovey couple!

—Oh, what kind of fairy tale life is this? Teacher He cooking, Jing Dan feeding, and here I am tearing up while my mom wonders why!

Unbeknownst to them, as the show continued to air, the fanbase of Chun and Jingming’s CP grew larger, and many onlookers also held favorable attitudes towards them. Their fame even surpassed that of some top celebrities.

As they prepared breakfast and chatted leisurely, someone lacking tact approached and disrupted their harmonious atmosphere, trying to engage Jing Dan in conversation.

Jing Dan: “Haven’t you lost? Shouldn’t you be out feeding the cows?”

Her tone was serious, filled with genuine confusion. Wasn’t it getting late now?

Upon hearing her words, He Ying couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.

—Hahaha, that’s hilarious! Yeah! Why aren’t you out feeding the cows yet? Do you think you can just stand in this kitchen and not be in the way?

—Go feed the cows! Stop bothering the lovebirds!

Bian Fengyu’s face turned red with anger, thinking about having to go feed the cows later filled him with frustration. If it weren’t for Jing Dan in this show, he would have left a long time ago!

He Ying simply glanced at him lightly. During the recording and airing of this show, she didn’t want Jing Dan’s program to be affected in any way, so she had been patient with Bian Fengyu over and over again. However, she was also someone who held grudges.

Although Bian Fengyu hadn’t done anything particularly outrageous at the moment, he had become a bit repulsive in her mind. She hoped he would show some sense, or she wouldn’t mind becoming the villain once again.

The author has something to say:

Soul Cub: What! This isn’t me!

Jing Dai: I am the true essence!

LP: Sorry for the no updates yesterday, cleaning took a lot of time than I expected.
