Panda Cub – Chapter 93

Parent-Child Variety Show 4

Kite Flying

Seeing this situation, even He Ying was incredulous. Daidai, like Jing Dan, was extremely protective of milk. Even if Jing Dan wanted to drink hers, she had to coax and pester for a long time. Unexpectedly, she was willing to let Bei Queting, whom she had just met on the first day, drink it.

“No need, I’ve prepared some for her. You drink yours,” He Ying said with a smile, placing a bowl of milk in front of Daidai, letting her feed Bei Queting.

Seeing this, Xiao Daidai’s eyes lit up. She carefully placed Bei Queting on the table and asked, “Do you know how to drink milk? It’s very tasty!”

Bei Queting looked at the bowl of white liquid. Having never drunk milk before, she felt indifferent. But when she saw He Jingsu’s eager gaze, she lowered her head and took a sip, thinking, it really is as good as she said.

Seeing her busy drinking milk without looking up, Xiao Daidai smiled happily and said to He Ying, “Mom, Beibei also thinks the milk you made is delicious!”

He Ying patted her head and said with a smile, “Glad you like it. There’s more if it’s not enough.”

“Mm-hmm!” Xiao Daidai nodded vigorously and also picked up a cup to drink.

Suddenly, He Ying felt her clothes being tugged. She turned her head and saw Jing Dan looking up at her, pointing to her own cup, which was now almost empty, with only a thin layer of milk left. She said, “Not enough.”

He Ying: “…” The little ones hadn’t spoken yet, but she spoke up first.

Helpless, she smiled and went to refill Jing Dan’s cup.

After Bei Queting finished her milk and looked up, she saw that He Jingsu had also finished her milk and had even peeled an egg. Seeing her look up, she placed it on her plate for her to eat.

She paused for a moment and accepted her kindness.

Seeing her willing to eat the egg she peeled, Daidai’s little face turned red with excitement. She turned to share with the two moms, only to see them whispering together and not looking over. Daidai was used to this, so she didn’t disturb them and ate her breakfast quietly.

However, she didn’t know that the topic of their whispers was her.

“Is Daidai being too attentive?” They had just picked her up, and now she wanted to sleep together and peel eggs for her. What if she leaves when she gets better? Won’t she be heartbroken?

Jing Dan didn’t particularly mind, “Don’t worry, Daidai will keep her.”

Daidai liked her so much, she would definitely try her best to be nice to her, making her reluctant to leave in the future!

He Ying: “…” Talking as if her child was unreasonable.

She was almost amused, sighed lightly in her heart, and thought, well, Daidai likes her so much, it would be great if Bei Queting could stay and be her companion in the future.

Since they had started recording the program, they couldn’t do nothing. So, after finishing breakfast and resting for a while, He Ying went to bring out the traditional medicine she had been preparing since coming downstairs. She had Daidai supervise Bei Queting to drink it, and then suggested, “The weather looks nice today. How about we go for a spring outing? This weather is perfect for flying kites.”

Hearing about flying kites, Jing Dan and Daidai’s eyes lit up.

Daidai couldn’t wait, hugging Bei Queting and searching the house for kites, but couldn’t find even a string after turning the house upside down.

She came to He Ying with drooping eyebrows and a pout, saying, “No kites.”

Bei Queting in her arms gently nuzzled her hand with her head.

“It’s okay, Mom will talk to the production team to get us kites.” Seeing Daidai’s disappointed look, no one could bear to see her sad.

“Really?” Daidai looked up eagerly at her.

“Of course. Don’t you believe in Mom?” He Ying deliberately made a hurt expression, then pulled in Jing Dan, who was holding a fruit plate, saying, “Even if you don’t believe in Mom, don’t you believe in your Mommy? If the production team doesn’t give us kites, your Mommy will make sure they don’t have dinner tonight!”

Jing Dan looked at Daidai with big eyes and nodded seriously, affirming He Ying’s words!

Off-camera, the director: “…” Saying this right in front of them?

The director sighed, the boss’s variety show really wasn’t easy to shoot.

When He Ying approached the production team, the director, with a deadpan face, said flatly, “You can have the kites, but you have to complete the task given by the production team first. The kites will be your reward after completing the task.”

He Ying raised an eyebrow and said, “But the weather is so good now, perfect for flying kites. Who knows how long it will take to complete your task? By then, the weather might not be as good as it is now.”

“So give us the kites first. We’ll fly them and then complete the task.”

“But if we give them to you now, how do we know you’ll complete the task?” The director wasn’t stupid; they couldn’t get something for nothing.

“But the kids are really looking forward to it.” She played her trump card.

Daidai hugged Bei Queting and looked at the director with eager eyes.

Director: “…” How could he resist this! But! He was a director with principles!

Daidai, holding the chubby bird, ran over quickly, looking up and pleading, “Brother, please give us the kites~”

Director: “…” Forget principles!

He waved his hand, letting them bring over the kites for them to choose from.

Xiao Daidai immediately became happy, hugging Bei Queting and picking out kites with Jing Dan.

When the show aired, viewers were clutching their hearts, wondering how anyone could resist Daidai’s charm! They even wanted to teleport into the director’s body! Or assassinate the director!

There were many kinds of kites. Jing Dan chose one shaped like a white crane, while Xiao Daidai chose one shaped like a northern long-tailed tit.

When He Jingsu took that kite, Bei Queting froze for a moment, looking down at her round body, and finally stayed silent.

Because she had to carry the kite, Xiao Daidai couldn’t hold Bei Queting, so she placed her on her head. Everyone saw a little girl, not even thigh-high, with a round little bird on her head, which was incredibly cute!

——(A type of plant) How can she be so cute! She’s cheating!

——How can she be this cute and still have a cute little bird on her head? Have you considered our hearts?

——I have an idea. What do you need to prepare to steal Daidai and her friends? (Peeking.jpg)

——You’re really daring.

——Go! You’re the bravest!

——I know, I know! Prepare some milk and bamboo shoots!

——To be honest, although she’s called Daidai, she really inherited Daidai’s (Jing Dan’s panda form) preference. (rubs chin)

Having gotten the kites, the family went to the kitchen to prepare the bento boxes they’d take for their outing.

Bei Queting nestled on Daidai’s head, watching her seriously wash the fruit while sitting on a small stool. She wanted to help but remembered what He Ying had said earlier. Ultimately, she decided to play the role of an ordinary little mountain sparrow properly.

Suddenly, a washed grape appeared before her eyes, already peeled and placed in a soft white hand.

“Beibei, eat the grape!” Huo Jingsu’s milky voice chimed in.

Bei Queting looked at the grape for a long time without moving.

“You don’t like grapes?” asked Daidai, feeling a bit sad as her hand started to tire. She also liked grapes and wanted to share what she liked with Beibei.

Hearing Huo Jingsu’s slightly dejected voice, Bei Queting leaned forward and ate the grape, then rubbed her head against Daidai’s hand.

Seeing her eat and even rub against her hand, Daidai’s eyes squinted happily, and she continued to wash and feed Beibei grapes.

He Ying and Jing Dan saw this and, without disturbing them, exchanged a smile and fed each other fruit.

Once everything for the bento was prepared, the family took their things and drove to an open grass field. Xiao Daidai helped lay out the picnic mat, then took off her shoes, sat cross-legged, and enjoyed the cool spring breeze, smiling happily.

Jing Dan sat opposite her, looked at the little chubby sparrow on Daidai’s head, and felt a sudden wave of sadness. She buried her face in He Ying’s arms, her eyes almost tearing up. “You all have wings!”

Her voice was so low that even the microphone on her body couldn’t pick it up, but He Ying heard her clearly. She was amused and exasperated.

This girl was still hung up on wings.

She hugged Jing Dan and laughed softly, “If you keep this up, I’ll get jealous. You have me, but you’re still thinking about wings.”

Jing Dan pouted, “I just want them!”

Having wings would be so cool!

He Ying, feeling helpless, saw her pitiful expression and had an idea forming in her mind. Although she had an idea, she didn’t want to tell Jing Dan too soon. What if it didn’t work out?

Besides, pulling out feathers… she’d need a year to gather enough without going bald.

“Be good. We’ll take turns carrying you. Today you ride this, tomorrow that, and you can choose!” He Ying soothed her. Ever since Daidai was born with those small wings, Jing Dan had been envious. Now Daidai had found a little bird with wings too. This was just tormenting Jing Dan.

“I feel like you’re all excluding me! I’m not part of the family anymore!” Jing Dan muttered, feeling wronged that everyone had wings except her.

He Ying: “…”

Gritting her teeth slightly, she felt Jing Dan needed a little discipline.

“Are you implying you want a divorce?” He Ying bit Jing Dan’s earlobe and whispered, “Jing Xiaodan, you can’t be so fickle. We even have a child together!”

Jing Dan shrank back, her sensitive ear tingling as He Ying spoke close, making her feel warm and tingly.

“No, no! Don’t talk nonsense!” Jing Dan stammered, flustered by He Ying’s teasing.

“Hmm, you’d better not.” He Ying snorted, releasing her. “Aren’t we supposed to fly kites? Get ready.”

The tingling sensation faded, and Jing Dan pouted slightly, murmuring an acknowledgment.

When it was time to fly the kite, Jing Dan told Daidai to hold the kite string and run ahead, then had Bei Queting fly under the kite and follow Daidai, lifting it. With her support, the kite should fly up!

After listening to all her arrangements, He Ying sighed softly: “…”

“‘Why aren’t you flying it?” She asked somewhat puzzled. She had handed the kite over to them so absent-mindedly, but what about herself?

Jing Dan turned to her, speaking righteously, “Running around flying kites ruins my image. I just need them to get it up in the air, then I’ll take over!”

Running around was fine in private, but being filmed for a show, seen by so many people, Jing Dan cared about her image!

He Ying: “…”

——Hahaha, ruins your image! Don’t you think saying that also ruins your image?

——Daidai cries: So, are you going to take my kite later?

——Look! That little chubby bird is really holding the kite and following Daidai to help fly it!

Reminded by someone, everyone immediately noticed the kite-flying duo. Daidai ran quickly on her short legs, and behind her, the white crane-shaped kite was held by a little chubby bird, its small wings flapping furiously to help lift the kite.

After two failed attempts, their coordination improved, and on the third try, they finally got the kite up. Daidai looked up at the flying white crane, her eyes bright with joy, and turned to her mothers, shouting happily, “Mama, Mommy, Beibei and I flew the kite!”

Seeing this, Jing Dan nodded with satisfaction, then handed the chubby bird kite to Daidai, taking the white crane kite string from her. “You did great! Now I’ll play with this, and you go fly this one!”

“Eh?” Daidai looked at the chubby bird kite in her hand, tilting her head. Was the previous kite for Mommy?

Netizens: “…”

(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)

Daidai is really pitiful.

Finally, Jing Dan sat beside He Ying, leaning against her, eating the fruit He Ying fed her, and enjoying the spring breeze.

Meanwhile, Daidai repeated the earlier steps, working hard with Bei Queting to get the chubby bird kite in the air.

Once the kite was up, Bei Queting was exhausted. She nestled on Huo Jingsu’s head, thinking flying a kite was more tiring than flying herself.

He Ying called them over, wiped Daidai’s sweat with a tissue, and let Bei Queting come down to eat. After all that running around, the two little ones had probably digested their breakfast.

Though Daidai ate, she kept checking on the kite, so she wasn’t eating very attentively. Finally, He Ying took the kite string from her, saying, “Mommy will hold it for you. You eat.”

Relieved that someone was watching the kite, Daidai grabbed two small pastries and stuffed them in her mouth, her cheeks puffed up like she was in a hurry.

With her cheeks bulging, she peeled grapes for Bei Queting, her face very serious.

Watching her, Bei Queting suddenly felt like laughing, finding Huo Jingsu increasingly adorable.


The author has something to say:

The two little ones find each other cute, hahaha.

What happens when you find someone cute? (Rubs hands and smiles)
