Chapter 748: Forgetful Milk

Fang Ye squatted down and greeted Yun Duo with a smile, "Yun Duo! I came to see you!"

He passed the metal bowl through the gap in the bars.

"Look, what's this?"

Yun Duo, holding her cub, leaned forward to look into the bowl and had already caught the scent of the special milk!

"Mm~~"

She immediately called out to Fang Ye.

Her desire to eat was obvious!

But she still held onto her cub with both paws.

You put it down, and I'll eat it later!

Fang Ye chuckled, shaking the bowl, "Do you want to eat?"

He brought the bowl close to Yun Duo's nose, and she responded even louder, "Mm," seemingly answering Fang Ye's question!

She leaned forward, but her paws held her cub even tighter, making it hard for anyone to take the cub away.

Before she could touch the milk in the bowl, Fang Ye pulled it back a bit!

Yun Duo let out two aggrieved "Mms," as if to say, "Are you going to give it to me or not?"

The viewers watching this amusing scene couldn't stop laughing!

"Hahaha, drinking this milk and forgetting the cub! Forgetful milk!"

"One hand for the cub, one hand for the milk!"

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the cub. You want the milk without giving up the cub?"

"The cub is like, 'Mom, don't hug me so tight, I'm going to suffocate!'"

"Yun Duo says, 'One bowl of milk isn't enough, add an apple too!'"

Fang Ye laughed, "Yun Duo, come sit over here! When did our relationship become so distant? Don't you like me anymore?"

He tugged at Yun Duo's foot, and she reluctantly moved over a bit!

"Mm~ Mm~"

She looked at Fang Ye and let out two soft calls, seemingly negotiating with him.

Let me taste it first. Just saying it's good isn't enough; I need to verify it myself!

Fang Ye said, "Alright, I'll let you taste it first."

He brought the bowl to Yun Duo's mouth!

Yun Duo tilted her head and took a big gulp!

Fang Ye tried to take the cub from her arms, but Yun Duo felt her arm being tugged and immediately stopped drinking.

She turned her body inward, back to the bars, and held the cub tightly with her paws, even lifting her legs up, curling her body into a ball.

She let out two dissatisfied grunts.

Hmph, you tricked me; this milk isn't sweet at all!

She turned her head away, but her bright eyes kept glancing at the bowl.

She blinked and licked her tongue, which was covered in white milk, looking like she wanted more.

"Mm~ Mm~"

Yun Duo called out pitifully!

She glanced at the bowl and then lowered her head to nuzzle her cub!

"Oh Yun Duo, are you really not going to drink?"

Fang Ye reached in and gently patted her head!

"The director communicates with pandas effortlessly!"

"Haha, Yun Duo is like a big baby! Is she acting cute or negotiating with the director?"

"Probably haggling!"

Fang Ye scratched his head and took the bowl out again.

"It seems regular milk won't work for Yun Duo, but no worries, we have an upgraded formula!"

He brought out a jar of honey and squeezed a bunch into the milk, "I bet you'll like this!"

"Hahaha!"

"Oh no, he added honey!"

"This is truly 'forgetful milk' now!"

He brought the honey milk back.

Yun Duo turned her head away, thinking, "Just this bit of milk and you want to take my cub? My cub went through so much to be born; it's my most precious treasure! I won't trade it for anything!"

Fang Ye offered the milk, a mischievous smile on his face, and spoke softly, "Honey milk, so fragrant and sweet, tastes absolutely wonderful. Drinking honey milk is such a delight~"

His voice was full of temptation, like the whisper of a devil!

Yun Duo sniffed the scent, her eyes widening!

W-what!

This smell, could it be, could it be honey?

She eagerly drank from the bowl!

Fang Ye lifted Yun Duo's arm!

This time, her resistance was much weaker.

He grabbed the cub by the scruff and pulled it to the bars. The cub looked bewildered, wondering, "What's happening? Where am I going?"

Then he placed the bowl on Yun Duo's chest!

Yun Duo was now leaning against the wall, her body flat, making it hard for the cub to fall off.

With the bowl on her chest, it was stable and there was no worry about spilling the milk.

Yun Duo continued drinking the milk, vaguely sensing something was off?

She decided not to think about it; drinking milk was the priority!

Of course, the temptation of delicious food was one aspect, but more importantly, it was the trust between Fang Ye, the keepers, and Yun Duo.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have easily handed over her cub.

Giving up the cub meant it would be returned soon, and she would get something tasty in return, so why not?

Fang Ye held the cub and smiled, "So, did everyone learn? Isn't it simple?"

"I learned, where can I get a panda cub? Give me a chance to practice!"

"I have an apple, can I trade it for a cub?"

"I'll trade two apples!"

He took the cub to the nursery.

In the center of the nursery bed was a layer of soft towels, with a cushion on top, where a small cub was sleeping, its face buried in the cushion.

A keeper came over and gently said, "Your face is covered, little one!"

One hand pushed the cushion, tucking its edge in, while the other hand supported the cub, lifting its upper body slightly.

The cub cooperated, stretching its paw as soon as the keeper touched it, and turned its head to the side.

It opened its mouth wide, curling its pink tongue, and let out a loud yawn!

"Ah~~~~"

The yawn, still with a babyish sound, melted everyone's hearts.

"Wow, the cub's baby voice is so cute!"

"So that's what it sounds like!"

Fang Ye placed the cub he was holding on the towel and picked up the yawning one, gently rubbing his cheek against it, "Hehe, so cute!"

The keeper took over and started measuring the cub's temperature.

Fang Ye glanced at the comments and said, "Pandas are language geniuses in the animal kingdom! They can speak many 'foreign languages.'

As babies, they make sounds similar to human infants, like 'goo-goo' after feeding.

When uncomfortable or hungry, they scream, indicating 'Mom, where are you?' 'I'm hungry,' 'Mom, be gentle, it hurts.'

Mother pandas respond with 'baa-baa' sounds like sheep, comforting their cubs.

When the cubs grow a bit and can move around, if frightened or angry, they make 'ao-ao' or 'woof-woof' sounds like dogs!

When other pandas enter their territory, they make cow-like sounds, as if saying, 'Leave me alone!' During mating season, they make bird-like 'chirp-chirp' sounds.

Panda vocalizations help us understand their needs. For instance, if they start screaming, we know they're uncomfortable and need a diaper change or feeding."
