Panda Cub – Chapter 98.2

Parent-Child Variety Show 9

I want to sleep with Beibei!

Though the number of people was unexpected, they still had to perform. The first act was Beibei’s bird call.

When Xiao Daidai took the microphone and announced in her childish voice, the audience burst into laughter. They saw the little chubby bird, who had been perched on her head, fly up and chirp into the microphone, and then a series of bird calls started. Listening carefully, people realized the bird calls included the tune of 《Two Tigers》?

This discovery surprised them, and they marveled at the little chubby bird’s intelligence, chirping out a melody.

However, Xiao Daidai, who was holding the microphone for Bei Queting, smiled with surprise. It turned out that Beibei had also learned this song!

He Ying and Jing Dan watched from below the stage, looking at Xiao Daidai who was smiling happily on stage, as well as Bei Queting who was actively performing. He Ying lightly laughed and said, “We need to be prepared for having one more daughter.”

Jing Dan nodded seriously, with an inexplicable sense of joy, “Being a mother without pain, that’s great!”

He Ying: “…” She was at a loss for words, what kind of logic was this?

After Bei Queting finished performing on stage, she received a warm round of applause. Then, Xiao Daidai also announced her own performance, saying the song she was going to sing next.

When she temporarily put down the microphone, Xiao Daidai even put on a small tiger costume prepared by the production team right on the spot. Watching her small head covered with a little tiger hat, everyone burst into laughter.

——Hahaha, I suspect the production team did it on purpose!

——Damn it, the production team perfectly hit my cute spot!

——The cunning production team, making Daidai act cute!

——Wuwuwu, Daidai, come to mommy’s arms, will you?

Obviously, Xiao Daidai’s act of cuteness was very successful. It not only captured the hearts of the audience below but also became the darling of the mom fans after the show was broadcast.

In addition, her performance in the later comedy sketch, where she acted as a child laborer, completely captured their hearts. How could there be such an adorable little one!

As the later episodes of the show were broadcast, Xiao Daidai’s popularity on the internet grew higher and higher. When the show ended, more and more people wanted their family to appear on the show again, but He Ying and her family refused, gradually letting Xiao Daidai fade from the audience’s view.

After the show ended, the family packed their luggage and was about to return to Huaqing City. When they left, Jing Dan held Xiao Daidai, and the two of them looked at the large bamboo forest with some reluctance.

There were so many tender bamboo shoots here.

But no matter how reluctant they were, they still had to say goodbye. But when they returned to Huaqing City and saw the bamboo forest planted on the back mountain of their home, that bit of reluctance began to dissipate.

They had their own small bamboo forest at home!

On the day they returned, everyone gathered for a meal. When little Zizi saw the unfamiliar girl beside Daidai, she hesitated and asked, “Are you the little bird in the show?”

Facing others, Bei Queting became a bit shy, but remembering that these were Daidai’s relatives, she nodded and said, “Yes, I am. My name is Bei Queting, you can call me Xiao Ting.”

“Eh?” Little Zizi tilted her head in confusion and said, “Can’t I call you Beibei? I heard Daidai calling you that.”

“You can’t!” At this moment, Xiao Daidai came over and said seriously, “Only I can call her Beibei!”

She wanted to be Beibei’s most special friend!

Zizi’s eyes showed a bit of confusion, but she still nodded and softly said, “Then I will call her Xiao Ting.”

If she couldn’t call her Beibei, then so be it.

Hearing her say this, Xiao Daidai nodded in satisfaction, showing a bright smile.

He Ying, who had heard their entire conversation, shook her head and sighed. Her little one had quite a strong sense of possession.

The adults sat together chatting, while the three children lay on the carpet building blocks. You guide me, I guide you, and they got along quite well.

Seeing the three little ones playing so well, all the adults breathed a sigh of relief. Initially, they were worried they might fight, but now it seemed they were overthinking it.

Xiao Daidai looked at the small house they had built with satisfaction and pointed to it, saying to Bei Queting, “This is our home!”

Bei Queting looked at the small house. How exquisite and beautiful made by three little ones could it be, but she still smiled, her eyes shining like they held countless stars. She nodded vigorously and said, “This is our home!”

This small house must be preserved!

Seeing this, little Zizi came over softly and asked, “Is there no room for me?”

Didn’t she also help build this little house?

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

Xiao Daidai thought for a moment and then pointed to one room, saying, “Then this is your room!”

Zizi was satisfied.

After they got tired of playing, it was time for the adults to leave. Jing Shiyue held the sleepy Zizi and Qiu Shuhuai, and then the others left one after another. The once lively room suddenly became quiet.

He Ying looked at the two little ones left and asked Xiao Daidai, “Daidai, shall we arrange a room for Xiao Ting?”

Xiao Daidai immediately woke up from her drowsiness, hurriedly hugged Bei Queting, and said in a soft voice, “I want to sleep with Beibei! We are small! The bed is big enough for us!”

She even assured Bei Queting, “Beibei, don’t worry, my room is big!”

He Ying: “…”

Jing Dan didn’t have any objections to this, and she could understand Xiao Daidai’s idea. If she could sleep with a little chubby bird, she wouldn’t want to sleep separately either.

“Mommy, Mama~” Seeing they didn’t say anything, Xiao Daidai began to act coquettishly, looking pitiful.

He Ying: “…” She definitely inherited this from Jing Dan.

These mother and daughter, were they all banking on her inability to refuse them?!

She sighed lightly and asked Bei Queting’s opinion, “Xiao Ting, are you willing to sleep with Daidai?”

Bei Queting looked at Xiao Daidai’s eager eyes, and finally smiled and said, “I am willing.”

Xiao Daidai’s eyes immediately lit up, and she pulled Bei Queting to show her the room, looking as if she wanted to show her all the good things.

Seeing this, He Ying shook her head and smiled, gently shaking Jing Dan’s hand.

“We really have two daughters now.”

“Then you’ll have to prepare more milk every morning.”

“…”


Xiao Daidai led Bei Queting upstairs to her room, which, as she had said, was indeed very large—large enough for the two of them to fly around inside!

The reason it was so big was due to the shadow left in He Ying’s and Jing Dan’s minds when Xiao Daidai was first learning to fly. Back then, she nearly tore the house apart. If her room wasn’t big enough, how could she have enough space to mess around?

Xiao Daidai proudly said, “It’s big, isn’t it? Bigger than Mama and Mommy’s room!”

Indeed, they had almost combined all the rooms on the second floor into her bedroom.

Bei Queting nodded, then was pulled around by Xiao Daidai as she introduced all the various items in the room. Everything seemed to have infinite fun as described by her, and Bei Queting listened with a smile in her eyes.

Watching Xiao Daidai drag her around the room, it seemed like she could see her original form clumsily flying around the room, looking particularly cute.

When it came time to introduce Bei Queting, she was no longer sleepy, looking energetic, and it seemed the tuft of hair on her head was even standing up.

After finally introducing everything in the room to Beibei, they could see through the window that the moon was already high in the sky and it was very late.

Xiao Daidai suddenly woke up, hurriedly took out pajamas and stuffed them into Bei Queting’s arms, and said anxiously, “Go take a bath quickly! After the bath, go to sleep. Mommy said that if you don’t sleep early, you won’t grow tall!”

Bei Queting held the pajamas Xiao Daidai had stuffed into her arms, feeling a moment of confusion. They had once sneaked out at midnight to dig up bamboo shoots to eat, so why was she now so concerned about going to bed early?

Did they forget about this when they were digging up bamboo shoots?

In the end, she was pushed into the bathroom by Xiao Daidai, who then brought out all the spare bathing supplies, prepared with extreme thoughtfulness.

Bei Queting pursed her lips and smiled lightly. Although Daidai was called Daidai, she was very attentive to many things.

When she came out after her bath, her pajamas had a big panda printed on them, looking a lot like Xiao Daidai, just without wings.

She thought to herself that she must make pajamas in the same style as Daidai’s in the future.

Seeing her come out, Xiao Daidai used her spiritual power to dry Bei Queting’s hair, then pressed her to lie down on the bed and covered her with a quilt. She then put on her little slippers and ran to the bathroom. After a moment, she seemed to remember something, ran out again, opened the wardrobe to find her own pajamas, and ran back into the bathroom.

Bei Queting nestled in the bed, covered with the quilt Xiao Daidai had tucked her in with, and gently laughed.

Daidai was really silly and cute just now.

When Xiao Daidai came out after her bath, Bei Queting was still awake, smiling at her.

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

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Xiao Daidai said in a soft voice.

“Waiting for you,” Bei Queting replied softly.

Xiao Daidai suddenly grinned, climbed into bed, hugged Bei Queting, and gently patted her back, softly coaxing, “I’m back now, let’s sleep.”

“Mm,” Bei Queting responded, smelling the faint milk scent of fresh bamboo on Daidai, and closed her eyes with a sense of peace.

She found that Daidai’s aura could calm all her anxieties.

Even though, even though she was three months younger than her.

Before falling asleep, Bei Queting thought, starting tomorrow, she must eat more to get more nutrients and grow taller, preferably taller than Daidai.

After all, she was the elder sister. How could the elder sister be shorter than the younger sister?

She fell asleep in a daze, and Xiao Daidai, holding her, also smiled sweetly even in her dreams, sleeping very comfortably.


The next day, both of them overslept. He Ying knocked on the door once but got no response, knocked again but still got no response, and finally gave up.

He Ying took a sip of soup and sighed softly, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have made her room so big. Now we can’t even hear her when we knock on the door.”

Respecting the child’s privacy, she and Jing Dan never barged into Xiao Daidai’s room at home, so they had to rely on knocking for communication.

Unfortunately, the room was too big, and sometimes Xiao Daidai couldn’t hear them knocking.

Jing Dan looked up at her, slightly puzzled, “Didn’t you think the room we gave her was too small back then?”

Although they had almost combined the entire second floor into Xiao Daidai’s bedroom, when she was learning to fly, her destructive power was so strong that her room wasn’t enough for her. She had to fly around the whole house, and every part of the house suffered damages. One could imagine how destructive Xiao Daidai was back then.

He Ying: “…” She just said it casually. Now, comparing the inability to hear to the insufficient flying space before, she would still choose her previous attitude.

During Xiao Daidai’s learning-to-fly period, it was really exhausting! Especially when she thought she could only fly indoors, she wreaked havoc not only here with He Ying and Jing Dan but also with Lady He.

He Ying suddenly sighed, “We really are good mothers, and Mom is a good grandmother.”

Xiao Daidai’s destructive flying period, neither she nor Jing Dan ever scolded her, and Lady He, although sometimes speechless, still patiently taught her how to fly properly with a smile when Xiao Daidai was sent to her.

As for Grandma Jing, she couldn’t really help much with flying, so she just cheered for Xiao Daidai on the side, which gave Xiao Daidai a wrong impression when she was flying all over the room.

She thought she was flying particularly well!

It almost drove He Ying, Jing Dan, and Lady He crazy. Xiao Daidai was flying all over the place, almost tearing the house apart, and Grandma Jing was cheering on the side, supporting Xiao Daidai’s house-tearing antics!

So, in the end, the indulgently loving Jing Li was banned from visiting during Xiao Daidai’s flying lessons!

Jing Dan finished her milk, then naturally reached for the milk originally meant for Xiao Daidai, trying to quietly make sure He Ying didn’t notice her action.

He Ying: “…Daidai will cry when she sees it later.”

This person, even wanting to take the child’s milk!

Thinking of this, her face couldn’t help but blush. During her breastfeeding period, Jing Dan often fought with Xiao Daidai for milk, often having to be pleaded with to leave some for Xiao Daidai.

She couldn’t help but give Jing Dan a playful glare. Although this person was already a mother, she still didn’t treat Xiao Daidai as a child. Competing for things with her was completely merciless.

After hearing He Ying say this, Jing Dan drank Bei Queting’s milk after finishing Xiao Daidai’s, and then said very innocently, “If they’re going to cry, let them cry together, so they have company.”

He Ying: “…”

She was almost angered to the point of laughter by Jing Dan.

She gave her a helpless glance, then after breakfast, she went to prepare new milk for the two little ones. Watching the person lounging contentedly on the sofa, she walked up, hugged Jing Dan’s waist, and bit her soft earlobe, whispering in a hoarse voice, “You’re just being spoiled!”

This person just knew that she would still go and make milk for Xiao Daidai and Bei Queting, which is why she dared to drink it so recklessly, right?

Jing Dan blinked innocently, “If we use the words of internet users, I’m ‘domineering,’ not ‘delicate.'”

He Ying let out a snort of laughter, defeated by Jing Dan’s words. She shook her head helplessly. Yes, this person was indeed domineering. In front of outsiders, she always put on a good appearance, but privately, she was a childish person who would even snatch milk from her own child!

Jing Dan leaned into her embrace, squinting her eyes and smiling somewhat smugly, “You clearly wanted me to drink it! After all, if you didn’t want me to drink it, you wouldn’t have made those two glasses of milk when you couldn’t wake up Daidai and Bei Queting!”

She hummed softly, feeling she had seen through He Ying’s little thoughts. This person clearly wanted to give her the milk but still had to go around in circles. The longer they were together, the more awkward she became!

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

He Ying felt a bit ashamed by her words, but looking at Jing Dan’s somewhat smug appearance, she lightly snorted, “Miss Jing, you really have a vivid imagination. To come up with such a story, it’s such a pity you’re not a screenwriter.”

Jing Dan’s eyes lit up. She turned to look at He Ying and asked, “Do you also think I have the talent to be a screenwriter? I think so too!”

Based on her many years of watching TV dramas, she also felt she had the potential to become a screenwriter!

He Ying: “…” She closed her eyes, unwilling to crush her confidence.

But this person! Had she forgotten how bumpy it was when they confirmed their relationship!

Just thinking about it gave her a bit of heartache. This person used TV dramas to decide whether she liked her, whether she wanted to kiss her, whether she wanted to sleep with her. When she found out the truth, He Ying almost spat blood!

“You should just focus on promoting Qingzhu and making money to support the family,” He Ying said somewhat tactfully. Mainly, if Jing Dan became a screenwriter, she could almost imagine how disastrous the script would be.

Jing Dan softly hummed, muttering, “You just don’t believe in me!”

He Ying hugged her tightly. She really couldn’t be blamed for this; the shadow Jing Dan left her with before was too big.

The two of them were downstairs, whispering sweet nothings in each other’s arms. Upstairs, Xiao Daidai slowly woke up, hugging Bei Queting. After yawning, she said somewhat sleepily, “We need to get up and drink milk.”

“Mama said a glass of milk in the morning helps you grow taller.”


The author has something to say:

Xiao Daidai, drink more! Try to grow taller than your wife!

This is probably the last time this story will have nine updates a day. I’m considering whether to end it at chapter 99 or chapter 100; both seem good (thoughtfully stroking chin).
