Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 34 You really dare to think, having a Leopard help a bear cub find its mom
Holding the warm, freshly baked inspection report from the base, everyone in the office fell silent.
Narrow kinship typically exists among captive giant pandas.
Reunions between wild siblings are rare to see.
Of course, it's because, under normal circumstances, wild animals with different fathers or mothers don't live together daily.
Mendun'er, hugging the little cub who knew nothing, leaned against the iron railing and sighed.
A beautiful bear face was filled with complex entanglements.
It hadn't expected this; it was just to repay the two-legged beast's life-saving grace, and it ended up bringing home a brother.
Looking at the stinky brother, who was less than a year old, milky and emitting a clear stupidity from his gaze, Mendun'er heaved a heavy breath, fell backwards, and grabbed a bamboo shoot to chew in frustration.
Little Sen got Mendun'er quite a few tender bamboo shoots, and out of pity, he scratched him through the cage.
"Mendun'er has worked hard, eat more delicious food, and tell me what flavor of bamboo you like, I'll go and chop it for you."
Although Mendun'er looked disdainful at the sight of the stinky brother, even while lying down eating bamboo, it was very careful to protect the little stinky brother, fearing he might fall down and hurt himself.
Chen Ying also obtained the electronic version of the appraisal report and sat across from Leopard Sister with a wry smile.
"Well, now, saying that letting Mendun'er experience the fun of being a mom in advance, it turned out to be a pair of siblings."
Leopard Sister laughed ha-ha-ha, rolling around on the platform, scaring the two little cubs who at first shrank aside and then realizing that mom was just going crazy, the bigger leopard cub suddenly grew bolder and started pouncing at mom's tail.
Two minutes later, the two cubs tumbled into a ball.
"Speaking of which, I've met Mendun'er's mom too. She was a very impressive mother."
After the joke, Leopard Sister lay down, flicked her tail to tease her two silly kids, and casually chatted with Chen Ying.
"Back then, I had just left my mother, and my sister who lived with me left without a word, leaving me alone and sad, wandering aimlessly in my territory."
It was before the cold season arrived, and all the animals were preparing for winter.
Mendun'er's mom, who had only one cub in that litter, kept a close eye on him.
Leopard Sister accidentally entered Mama Panda's territory and quickly left, but Mama Panda still decided to take her daughter and move places to spend the winter.
It's hard to describe the feeling, but mysteriously, Leopard Sister just followed Mendun'er and her mother and moved with them.

She cleverly maintained the safest distance and spied how Mama Panda cared for her cub.
In this way, they spent the entire winter until the warm spring arrived the following year, and she became sisters with Mendun'er despite having different fathers.
The normal parenting time for a giant panda is about one and a half years, with stronger maternal instincts possibly nurturing the child up to two years.
"One and a half years after Mendun'er, on a certain day, its mom went out and never came back."
Leopard Sister sighed, switching her paws under her chin.
It was fortunate that Leopard Sister was there to accompany Mendun'er through the dark times after being separated from her mother.
Chen Ying sighed as well, about to speak, then suddenly sat upright, startling Leopard Sister.
"What are you doing, scaring a leopard?"
"No, Leopard Sister, you followed Mendun'er and its mom to many places, do you know where she might have chosen to nurture her cubs?"
Leopard Sister blinked, looking incredulously at Chen Ying.
"Are you asking me to help that silly kid find its mom?"
"I was thinking, you know how Mendun'er's mother really loves her children, it might not be that she deliberately abandoned the little cub. Perhaps right now, Mendun'er's mom can't find the child and is going crazy with worry? Although Mendun'er is very gentle, after all, she has never had children, and having her take on the role of a mother seems a bit inappropriate, don't you think?"
Leopard Sister licked her paw, somewhat agreeing but not completely.
In nature, it's different from humans, no matter the reason, once left, that's it. If lucky, they can stumble and grow up, if not, better luck next life with wide-open eyes.
She had never heard of anyone helping lost cubs find their mothers, not treating them as food was already a mark of kindness.
Chen Ying sought help from Leopard, and took great care to make a delicious meal for Leopard Sister and the two little cubs.
While the cubs were eating, he contacted his mentor, Professor Bai, through his mobile phone and shared his thoughts.
"Your idea is quite...innovative."
Professor Bai on the other end of the line felt a pain in his cheek. His student was great in many aspects but occasionally made leaps in thought that were hard to comprehend.
However, a good teacher would of course not discourage his student, but rather, he pointed out areas that might pose problems.
Go ahead, being young, you still have chances to try and err. Moreover, getting more done and gaining more experiences are also major ways to accumulate knowledge.
"The prescriptions you gave me last time have passed review. Among them, the ointment for surgical use and the prescription medicine for treating gastrointestinal discomfort have been approved for clinical trials. If they pass clinical trials, there won't be any problem with them going to market. Regarding the profit distribution, I have sent a few plans to your email, check them when you're free and give me a reply."
Chen Ying was delighted and promptly agreed.
Pet medications might seem low-cost, but with more people keeping pets these years, his low-cost, effective medications could leverage a thin profit margin but still bring in significant annual revenue.
Most importantly, with this funding, his other new prescriptions needing laboratory data would now have a chance to be promoted.
Having resolved a major concern that had been weighing on his mind for a long time, Chen Ying felt refreshed.
He stood up and stretched, suddenly hearing the sound of a camera shutter from behind.
He turned around and saw Zhao Manman holding the camera, smiling at him.
Why hasn't this woman left yet?
It wasn't that Zhao Manman was particularly annoying, but just between people sometimes, there's an aura clash.
Compatible, then even a thousand drinks are too few with a beloved friend.
Incompatible, even half a word is too much where minds don't meet.
Clearly, Zhao Manman and he were the latter.
"I'm leaving the mountain today, want a picture together?"
What was this woman up to? Chen Ying's mind raced with how to politely reject taking a photo, but before he could say anything, Duanmu Lin popped his head downstairs.
"Miss Zhao's really not playing fair, eh? Why only ask Brother Ying for a photo? You're not scheming on my Brother Ying, are you? Let me tell you, that won't do, Brother Ying belongs to Leopard Sister, at least for now, he can only belong to Leopard Sister!"
Duanmu Lin's clearly joking words defused the awkward atmosphere that had just begun to develop between Zhao Manman and Chen Ying.
From the second floor of another building, Little Deng, having heard them, poked his head out forcefully.
"Taking photos? I want one too, can you make me look handsome? My teacher's wife has asked me to find a picture for her to arrange a blind date for me."
Zhao Manman's smile was nearly breaking at this point.
Chen Ying didn't continue to interfere, picked up a broom, and began sweeping the yard.
He had only swept half of it when he saw two cars driving up from the bottom of the mountain.
Brother Liu got out of the car, gave Chen Ying a meaningful look, then turned to direct the car following to park by the roadside.
Coming to pick up Zhao Manman? With such a grand gesture, what exactly is her status?
