Panda Cub, So Cute and Fierce 23

Chapter 23: Losing Face

=====================

The wedding went very smoothly. When it came to the teasing of the newlyweds in their chamber, none of the four little cubs were allowed to get close; they were all sent back to sleep. And the few childish adults who had been eagerly planning to cause some trouble for Huai Sheng were eventually driven out in disgrace.

With Madam He Yuan present, no one dared to be presumptuous.

They were indignant. It wasn’t like they were people who didn’t know their limits; they were just going to cause a little symbolic trouble. But Madam He Yuan wouldn’t let anyone bully her little sister.

“Sigh,” Hu Tu sighed. “Ever since Bei Yuan was recognized as your mother’s sister, her seniority has really skyrocketed. Now that Huai Sheng is with Bei Yuan, her seniority has also been elevated.”

Pitiful, only I am pitiful, truly pitiful!

He Ying didn’t want to talk about seniority.

The four little cubs who had returned to their room didn’t go to sleep either. Instead, they started playing a game of Werewolf.

Don’t be fooled by He Jingsu’s dazed and cute appearance; among the four of them, she was the best at games, often using her innocent face to get away with things and prevent others from guessing her identity.

“Daidai, you won again!” Qiu Si couldn’t help but say. At this point, her face was covered in white strips of paper, and her little sister, Jing Jiu, was even worse, her face completely covered, with only her two eyes showing.

“Mhm, mhm!” He Jingsu nodded proudly, as if her victory was a matter of course. She only had a couple of strips on her face. She picked up a strip of paper and started to stick it on Qiu Si’s face.

Bei Queting silently leaned back. Although she didn’t have as many strips on her face as Qiu Si and the others, she still had quite a few. Daidai was truly the king of games.

Although this game king was still being beaten by the big boss, Jing Dan, her future was promising. It wasn’t impossible for her to surpass Jing Dan!

In the end, the game ended with a world where only He Jingsu was spared. Looking at their faces covered in paper, He Jingsu laughed very happily, took out her phone, took a picture, and sent it to the group chat.

He Ying: …

Seeing this message, He Ying facepalmed. This silly child, did she just bully someone and then hand over the evidence?

Jing Dan: Daidai is amazing!

Just like me! She was suddenly very proud.

Jing Shiyue: It’s so late, why aren’t you asleep yet?

When Jing Shiyue spoke, she had the tone of a strict parent.

Qiu Shuhuai chuckled softly and tugged on Jing Shiyue’s sleeve. It was a joyous occasion today; it was fine if the children stayed up a little later.

Jing Shiyue huffed but didn’t say anything more.

Looking at the message from Jing Shiyue in the group chat, He Jingsu mumbled something under her breath that no one else could hear.

“Daidai, what did you say?” Bei Queting asked.

He Jingsu looked up and said very seriously to Qiu Si and the others, “Mommy said that your mothers are also disasters at games, so you take after them!”

Qiu Si and Jing Jiu were full of question marks. Could being a disaster at games be inherited?

Bei Queting couldn’t help but laugh. Seeing that it was already midnight, she suggested, “Let’s stop playing here. We should rest early.”

“Okay.”

After Qiu Si and the others had returned to their rooms, Bei Queting went to shower first. He Jingsu watched her find a change of clothes and mumbled, “Wouldn’t it be faster if we showered together?”

But Beibei had never showered with her! Not once, since they were little!

Hearing her words, Bei Queting’s hand, which was getting her pajamas, paused. She silently glanced at He Jingsu, then sighed and went into the bathroom without saying anything.

There was no point in explaining; she wouldn’t understand why they couldn’t shower together anyway.

He Jingsu looked at the closed bathroom door and scratched her face, not quite understanding. She had seen her mothers shower together sometimes. Why couldn’t she and Beibei?

When Bei Queting came out, she was enveloped in a cloud of steam. She pushed He Jingsu to go in and shower quickly; it was time for bed.

Even though she was already 16, Bei Queting was still quite obsessed with the idea of sleeping early to grow taller, all because she had been shorter than Daidai when they were little!

Fortunately, she was now two centimeters taller than Daidai, which had restored a little of her dignity as an older sister.

When He Jingsu finished showering, the moment the door opened, a panda cub with flapping wings flew out and crashed into Bei Queting’s arms.

Bei Queting was speechless. She suspected this one knew she was cute.

“Beibei.” He Jingsu lifted her head in her arms.

“Hm?” Bei Queting ruffled her head. The tuft of fur was pressed down, then sprang back up. Her eyes were full of a warm smile.

“You have to hold me to sleep!” He Jingsu said very seriously.

Bei Queting was speechless.

She found it rather amusing. Had there been a single night when she hadn’t held her to sleep? Or did she want her to hold her in her human form?

“Okay~” Bei Queting said with some resignation, but her hands very honestly held her a little tighter. After lying down on the bed, He Jingsu very consciously found a comfortable spot in her arms, closed her eyes, and started to sleep, not being polite at all.

Bei Queting turned off the light, her hand gently stroking the panda cub’s soft fur. She thought that if they could stay like this forever, it would be good. At least she would still be by her side.

She had a good night’s sleep. The next day, she woke up naturally. The panda cub in her arms was finally not so difficult to wake up. She stretched in Bei Queting’s arms. Although she wasn’t sleepy anymore, she was still too lazy to move.

Bei Queting, as usual, helped her stretch her muscles to wake her up. The panda cub in her hands let her pull and tug, like a plush toy, stretching out all her muscles. She was so comfortable that she let out a small whimper and flattened into a bear pancake.

Looking at Daidai like this, although she saw her every day, she was still captivated by her cuteness every time.

She placed her hand on her belly and tickled her gently. “If you don’t get up, you won’t get to eat Aunt He’s breakfast, you know?”

“!” The tuft of fur immediately stood on end.

Her four paws wrapped around the hand on her belly, and she said softly, “Beibei, you help me.”

She was being lazy again.

Bei Queting was already used to this. This one would occasionally be lazy and ask her to help her wash up. Now that school had started and they didn’t live together, this behavior had been forced to decrease.

She very naturally picked up the panda cub and walked into the bathroom. Then she placed her to the side and washed up first. After she was done, she started to help He Jingsu wash up, taking out a small toothbrush and squeezing toothpaste on it. He Jingsu obediently opened her bear mouth and let her brush her teeth.

Looking at the well-behaved panda cub, Bei Queting’s eyes were full of smiles. She had also discovered that He Jingsu probably preferred to stay in her true form; it was a very comfortable state for her.

After helping He Jingsu wash up, she was still lazily nestled in Bei Queting’s arms, unwilling to come down. Bei Queting just held her and went downstairs. The living room was already full of people. The others were not surprised to see the two of them like this. He Ying even directly took out a baby bottle, filled it with milk, and handed it to Daidai to hold and drink herself.

This series of smooth actions made Jing Shiyue’s expression very complicated. It reminded her of the embarrassing things Jing Dan had done, drinking from a baby bottle, which was broadcast live to the whole country!

Now that she had a child, and the child took after her, the face of their Jing family had been completely lost by them!
