Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 46: We can’t give up until it does.

Mama Bear had a belly full of bittersweet tears when she spoke of her eldest daughter, who also happened to be her half-life-long nightmare.

"Woof, if I had known she was here, I wouldn't have come, wouldn't have come at all!"

Little Apple didn't taste sweet anymore, and not even a bowl of milk could attract her. The first thought she had when seeing bamboo was to give her chunky eldest daughter a good thrashing.

Back then, it was her first time having a baby. She truly treated her like a fragile treasure; afraid she'd break if she dropped her, terrified she'd melt in her mouth.

And what was the result? The daughter only left the nest at two and a half years old, and that was after she herself had taken advantage of a dark and stormy night to trek over three mountains to shake her off!

In those two and a half years, the flesh Mama Bear lost all grew on her chunky daughter!

She would only eat the tips of the bamboo shoots and had to have her mother break the bamboo and place it in her palm. She was such a big lump, yet she still needed to be held to sleep!

She couldn't think about it, just couldn't. Whenever she thought of the past, she could barely contain her rage.

Why was she so relaxed about parenting now? Wasn't it just the fear of raising another dependent whelp?

In the next room, Mendun'er continued to howl.

"Mom, why won't you answer me? Don't you want to talk? It's okay, you can just listen to me!"

The members of the panda team didn't understand what Mendun'er was saying, but could see it was desperate to get into the room, pacing back and forth at the door, and continually rolling on the ground.

"Does Mendun'er love her mom that much? Why don't we open the iron door and let them see each other through the bars?"

Chen Ying looked up at Sister Dai with a complex expression, hesitant to speak.

He was worried that if the two big plump bears met, there might be a one-sided beating tragedy. Could he say that?

His colleagues were excited, and someone with quick actions had already triggered the iron door switch.

Mendun'er was so excited. It lay down, eagerly peering under the slowly rising iron door, trying to squeeze itself through the bars.

On the other side, the panda's eyes gradually filled with malice.

It couldn't roll up its sleeves, but if it could, it was certain the meeting would start with a few punches to bring Mendun'er to its senses.

Do you see clearly now? You're no longer Mama's little baby!

Although Sesame was rather dopey, its senses were sharp. At the historic moment of its mother meeting its sister, it curled itself into a ball and tucked into a corner, almost as if it was giving itself an invisibility buff.

Chen Ying and Yin Li also squatted next to Sesame, stealthily munching on melon seeds.

"Sesame, if your mom and sister start fighting, whose side are you on?"

Chen Ying poked Sesame's back, which felt incredibly soft, like poking a cotton ball.

"Ying, I'm not taking sides. Hey, when female bears fight, a male bear stays out of it to save his own hide,"

Sesame clutched the bars with its paws, its big eyes dewy as it looked toward Nanny Mei.

"Ying, can't you really let me out? I'm scared."

The commotion was indeed frightening.

Mendun'er had no clue about its status in its mother's heart, while Mama Bear was filled with regret; how could she meet this thankless whelp over a couple of bowls of milk.

Mama Bear's despair, Mendun'er's complete lack of tact, Sesame's deep-seated grievances.

The drama of this family of three was better than any TV show.

After a furious bout of helpless anger, the old mother could only rage for a while.

Mendun'er, with its big eyes wide open, watched its mother throw a fit, not getting at all what she was so upset about. It even thought its brother Sesame must have irritated their mom and tried to get its brother to 'reason sincerely' with her to apologize.

After Mama Bear finished her tantrum, she lay down on the ground, drained of energy, and picked up a tender bamboo shoot to vent her frustration.

"Forget it, let whatever will be, be."

Seeing her mom calm down, Sesame finally dared to snatch her mom's Bamboo to eat.

Despite the commotion Mama Bear caused, Sister Dai and the others still didn't dare let Mendun'er get too close to her.

Chen Ying knew what Mama Bear was angry about, but couldn't explain it. Besides, considering Mendun'er's foolish temperament, if she really upset Mama Bear, they wouldn't be able to treat her.

After staying at the Rescue Station for one night, the next day, the panda firmly picked up Sesame by the ear and left.

Nanny Mei happily stuffed a big apple for the two of them, which she bought out of her own pocket.

She liked Sesame, but she liked it even more that Sesame could live freely in the forest.

What surprised everyone was that after leaving the Rescue Station, Mama Bear didn't go far and settled down near the territory of that Social Panda.

This development caught the people at the Rescue Station off guard, especially Chen Ying, who worried that the Social Panda would cause trouble for the mother and cub.

But he was momentarily helpless to intervene.

Meng Yan's injuries had largely healed, but after the fracture in his hind leg healed, the little guy seemed to have developed a psychological barrier and wasn't as lively as before.

The shed fur trousers had already been knitted back together and didn't look as funny, but he seemed aware of his unattractiveness; every time he lay down or hid, he would consciously cover his furless leg.

According to the rules, he was supposed to return to the forest in one month, which was intended to give him time to adjust and recover.

If it was ultimately determined that he couldn't survive in the forest, then a zoo might be the place for him to spend his old age.

There was also Mendun'er, whose illness had been completely solved, and the release plan set for two months later was probably to send him to be released in Songzilin Valley. The released pandas would find their own territories; they can sense by the smell left by other pandas whether they can defeat them and thus occupy that territory.

The territory nearby the Rescue Station had to be left to Mama Bear to take care of Baby for the time being.

Calculating the time, by next winter, Sesame would leave her mother to live alone, and during the spring and summer, which also happened to be the mating seasons for mother pandas, there might be a chance that Cat Mother could be taking care of cubs again before winter if she was lucky.

Sending Mendun'er far away for release had another reason.

Ahem, well, it wasn't picked by the Social Panda, right? The home-grown should not go to waste. Next year, both the center and the base plan to conduct wild breeding programs, with the naturally strong and healthy Social Brother Xiong as the target.

Chen Ying had his own plans as well.

He had been in touch with his advisor, and there shouldn't be any big issues with the new project application; with some self-raised funds and the allocated project funds, there should be enough to build the Forest Cabin.

That place would become his exclusive workspace, where he could truly make use of the abilities acquired from the system.

After resolving the issues with Sesame and her mom, Chen Ying focused on the Golden Cat, who was still in the midst of being rescued.

Sister Dai video-called him every day to show him the treatment process of the Little Golden Cat.

"The situation isn't great," the teacher in charge of rescuing the Golden Cat rubbed her eyes tiredly, "It seemed stable during the day yesterday, but then there was sudden cardiac failure in the afternoon. After more than half an hour of rescue, it stabilized, but today the condition is very poor."

She sighed silently at Chen Ying on the video.

"Little Chen, you are still young, and you will encounter such things in the future. Sometimes it's not that we don't do it; it's just that we are powerless to save the situation."

Chen Ying stared at the animal ICU pod, his eyes reddening slightly.

These past few days, he looked through documents and consulted with Professor Bai and domestic Golden Cat experts, who all thought that surviving until now in such a condition was already a miracle.

Chen Ying understood this, but for some reason, he always had the feeling that if he tried harder, perhaps he could snatch its life back from the hands of death.

Besides, if the Little Golden Cat was enduring such pain to live, what right did they have to give up on its behalf?

After hanging up the video call, Chen laid curled up alone in the Animal Shed where Leopard Sister had previously stayed.

There must be a way, certainly, there must be. Calm down and think.
