Chapter 012

The fluffy creature before her eyes had only black and white fur all over its body, along with a pair of dark circles around its eyes. As long as one was a qualified descendant of the Yellow Emperor, they could accurately shout out its name.

“Panda?!”

Yan Jin, who was usually calm, couldn’t help but raise her voice.

The audience in the live broadcast room was no calmer than Yan Jin, and even more excited than her.

[A panda! A panda! Our national treasure, the giant panda!] [I’m so jealous of Yan Jin. What kind of luck does she have? She can find a giant panda just by walking around.] [As descendants of the Yellow Emperor, we can’t let the giant panda live in the wild. Raise it! I’ll sign my name in blood for Yan Jin to raise this giant panda!]

Yu Shu had sharp ears. When he heard what seemed to be Yan Jin’s shout coming from her direction, before he could even wonder if he had misheard, he started running in the opposite direction.

Yan Jin had never raised a pet before, but abandoning the national treasure panda would be against her conscience.

Especially the panda in front of her, compared to the “giant” pandas Yan Jin had seen in zoos, it was more like a panda “cub”. Yan Jin even suspected that if she held it in her arms, would it shrink into a small ball?

Why not—pick up the panda first?

Yan Jin tentatively reached out her hand towards the panda.

The ground was cold. It wouldn’t be good if it got sick.

Fortunately, Yan Jin’s strange physique that attracted fluffy creatures was also effective on the panda. The panda obediently let her pick it up and snuggled close to Yan Jin.

From a distance, it seemed as if Yan Jin’s arm was attached to a furball.

Yan Jin picked up the panda and ran in the opposite direction, trying to catch up with Yu Shu.

Yan Jin had no experience in taking care of pets, while Yu Shu had raised two cats, so his experience was definitely richer than hers.

Therefore, Yan Jin had to call out to him first and ask how to take care of the panda.

But before she had even run halfway, she encountered Yu Shu running towards her in a hurry.

Yu Shu was so anxious that his cheeks were flushed red. “Yan Jin, what happened to you? Did you fall?”

Yan Jin quickly handed the panda to him to see. “Can I delay your steps in pursuing your dream for a moment? I found a panda. Do you know how to raise it?”

Only then did Yu Shu see the panda in Yan Jin’s arms. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but after blinking a few times, there was still a panda lying in Yan Jin’s arms.

Yu Shu, who had originally vowed to go to the capital to study, immediately changed his mind. “Although I’ve never raised a panda before, I’ve raised cats. The way to raise these two should be similar.”

After saying that, Yu Shu wanted to hold the panda.

But the panda didn’t let him hold it. It only let Yan Jin hold it.

The two looked at each other and fell into an awkward silence.

The person with some experience, the panda didn’t let him hold it.

The person without experience, the panda kept wanting her to hold it.

“I really didn’t mean to stop you from pursuing your dream,” Yan Jin was a bit embarrassed. “It’s just… for the sake of the child.”

“For the sake of the child,” Yu Shu sighed. “Let’s make do and live together.”

[Haha, I was just immersed in singing ‘Outside the Long Pavilion, by the Ancient Road’. It hasn’t even been three minutes, and they’ve already gotten together.] [The old saying is indeed true. A child is the bond that ties two people together.] [But that’s a panda! Who in this world can refuse a panda?!]

Due to the unexpected panda, the two had to suspend their original plans.

“Such a big panda, I don’t even know what to feed it.” Yan Jin asked Yu Shu while holding the panda. “Is milk okay?”

“It’s okay, but I don’t know if there’s milk in An Country. Let’s go into the city first. Pandas are omnivores. There should be something it can eat in the city.”

Seeing that Yan Jin had been holding the panda for a while, Yu Shu was worried that her arms might be sore. He tentatively reached out his hands to the panda. Fortunately, this time, the panda was very cooperative and obediently let Yu Shu hold it in his arms.

With the panda in his arms, Yu Shu’s features relaxed. “Let’s go to the broker’s shop to buy a house first, and then ask the broker if there are any dairy cows for sale.”

Yan Jin asked, “What’s a broker’s shop?”

“A broker’s shop is a business or intermediary in the market that brings buyers and sellers together, introduces transactions, and takes a commission①.” Yu Shu said, “The people inside who help others find and sell houses are called house brokers.”

Seeing Yu Shu’s knowledgeable appearance, Yan Jin was a bit puzzled. “How do you seem to know so much?”

“Uh…” Yu Shu’s eyes shifted indeterminately. “I specifically learned about it before in order to write ancient-style songs.”

[Oh? Yu Shu is planning to write ancient-style songs? I’m looking forward to it.] [Liar, son, you’re lying. You never mentioned writing ancient-style songs in previous interviews.]
