The cubs are sturdy, usually under the "care" of the Iron-eating Beast, they've already developed thick skins from all the falls. But Du Xixi is quite delicate now, whether it's the big one or the two little ones yet to be born, they can't afford to fall.
But now that Du Xixi is seated steadily, the Iron-eating Beast handed her the well-behaved one, thinking it probably wouldn't cause trouble for Du Xixi.
As soon as Du Xixi took hold of the warm little Iron-eating Beast, she visibly stiffened and sat there motionless. It wasn't until the little Iron-eating Beast in her hands squeaked twice that she came to and carefully cradled it in her arms.
The Iron-eating Beast immediately grinned, and the laughter, neither too big nor too small, made Du Xixi's face turn bright red. Even Miao Miao, who had put down her book and was quietly watching the interaction between Du Xixi and the little Iron-eating Beast, found it amusing.
