Forest Ranger: Starting with a Giant Panda Mom Clinging to Me

Chapter 13: Internet Sensation

“Hey, wait! Your nest isn’t here!” Seeing the panda mom barge into his room, Lin Tian hurried to stop her. But she’d already waddled in, finding a cozy corner by the bed, hugging her two cubs, and plopping down.

By the time Lin Tian got up to intervene, she was sprawled out, clutching her cubs, refusing to budge.

Clearly, the panda mother had no interest in the little nest he’d prepared. She much preferred his cramped bedroom.

> “Hahaha, Brother Tian’s panda nest prep was all for nothing!”

> “Panda mom: Split rooms? No way!”

> “Brother Tian, how could you let panda mom sleep in a cold bed alone?”

> “Brother Tian, just give in to panda mom already.”

…

The livestream audience cracked up at the scene.

Lin Tian sighed.

“Fine, all that effort on the panda nest was a waste.”

He gave the panda mother’s fluffy head a pat, but didn’t kick her out.

Whatever. If she wants to stay in the room, so be it. He’d just have to bathe her more often. Besides, the forestry bureau might come tomorrow to take the pandas away.

It’d just be one night.

With that thought, Lin Tian glanced at the adorably obedient panda mother in the corner, feeLin a twinge of reluctance.

If he had his way, he’d love for her to stay.

“Panda mom, good night.”

PulLin up the blanket, Lin Tian looked at the panda mother’s goofy sleeping pose in the corner, wished her good night, and turned off the light to rest.

…

While Lin Tian shut down the livestream to sleep, elsewhere, clips from his livestream were quickly uploaded to various platforms by fans.

In Shanghai, in a cramped rental apartment, a girl with a striking figure was hunched over her computer, intently editing a video. Her name was Chen Yi. A fresh college graduate, she’d studied art design, but kept hitting walls in her job search.

She’d been surviving on plain boiled noodles for nearly three months. If she didn’t find work by the end of the month, even noodles would be out of reach.

This time, she stumbled upon Lin Tian’s livestream by chance and instantly fell in love with the natural scenery. It sparked an idea to make video edits about nature and animals.

Since painting was starving her, why not switch tracks? So, she immediately downloaded an editing software.

The golden snub-nosed monkey video that went mildly viral on Douyin yesterday was her work. She’d edited it on a whim, never expecting it to blow up! It racked up over 100,000 likes!

Chen Yi was thrilled and, early this morning, camped out in Lin Tian’s livestream, waiting for it to start. She recorded the entire day’s stream.

“This video is pure gold! Helping a wild panda give birth in a livestream! And it was a success! Lin Tian’s such an amazing streamer.”

…

Chen Yi mumbled to herself as she edited. After two hours of polishing, she trimmed it into a 10-minute video.

“Click! Upload!” Chen Yi leaned back in her chair, finally taking a break to sip some water. The edited video quickly spread like wildfire online.

…

Not long after Chen Yi’s video went up, people started clicking.

> “No way? Is that a wild panda?”

> “Holy crap! The panda’s giving birth?”

> “What’s this streamer doing???”

> “Helping a wild panda give birth???”

> “No way! He actually pulled it off!”

> “This guy’s fearless! Where’s the livestream? I need to follow!”

> “The panda’s so cute, I wanna hug it!”

> “Did the streamer take home two cubs? Where are they now?”

> “Where’s this livestream? I need to watch it!!! Tell me quick, I can’t sleep!”
