As Zhan Dundun returned, Yang Ruoyun and Hu Mengyao subconsciously took a step back, only realizing it when they bumped into the golden bell behind them.
The reason for their reaction was that Dundun's imposing presence had frightened them a little.
The sheer physical collision had a strong visual impact. In battle, Dundun showed no hint of his usual clumsiness, his face fierce and exuding a relentless, unstoppable fighting spirit that captivated the soul.
However, Dundun paid no mind to this at the moment and said to the two, "The matter is resolved, you can leave now."
"Thank you."
Hearing this, Yang Ruoyun and Hu Mengyao finally reacted and quickly thanked him.
Dundun waved his hand dismissively.
Yang Ruoyun and Hu Mengyao didn't waste any words and left in a hurry.
After they left, Dundun finally removed the golden bell that had been covering Shen Wenhua.
"Was I a bit scary?"
Zhan Dundun lowered his head, his voice full of tenderness.
At this moment, his body was incredibly tall, and Shen Wenhua, who was not short herself, seemed quite petite before him.
Shen Wenhua shook her head and said, "Don't you know I'm a biology student? Sometimes experiments are even more bloody than this."
As she spoke, she reached out and gently patted Dundun's plump belly, like hitting cotton, causing a wave of flesh.
Dundun felt a little ticklish and gently scratched himself with his paw, displaying his usual憨态.
"Aren't you going to change back?" Shen Wenhua asked with a smile.
"This... change back..." Dundun looked down at his body, clad only in shorts.
"Pfft."
Seeing his goofy expression, Shen Wenhua couldn't help but laugh.
"How do we get back now?" Shen Wenhua asked.
Such a giant panda, if it appeared, would surely attract a crowd and cause a huge sensation.
Dundun squatted down and extended his right hand.
Shen Wenhua looked at Dundun's large outstretched palm and understood his intention. Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still sat on his hand.
A flicker of joy crossed Dundun's face. He then stood up, placing Shen Wenhua on his shoulder.
"Watch me."
Although Dundun supported her small body with his massive palm, he still spoke a reminder.
Shen Wenhua quickly hugged Dundun's head, finding it incredibly soft and comfortable.
Dundun didn't dare to delay. He slightly crouched, exerted force, and then shot up into the sky.
Shen Wenhua instinctively let out a gasp, then quickly covered her mouth and held tightly onto Zhan Dundun, pressing herself against him.
The reason Dundun left so quickly was that their massive movements would soon attract people from the Ninth Division, and he didn't want to cause trouble, preferring to leave early.
Dundun's movement was swift as he leaped between tall buildings. With a few pauses, he returned to his residential area and entered directly through the balcony, where he finally put Shen Wenhua down.
At this point, he had also reverted to his original form, bare-chested and wearing only a pair of boxer shorts.
Despite his plump appearance, apart from a larger belly, his body was covered in muscles, creating a very impactful visual.
"Sit here for a moment, I'll get dressed."
Shen Wenhua nodded with a slight blush on her cheeks.
Seeing Dundun go into the room, Shen Wenhua familiarized herself with his place, poured herself a glass of water, took a large gulp, and then let out a long sigh. It had been too thrilling, and her legs felt a little weak.
When Dundun, dressed, came out of the room, he saw Shen Wenhua tidying up the messy snack wrappers and other items on his coffee table.
"I can do it myself," Dundun said, a little embarrassed.
Shen Wenhua gave him a look and said, "If you could do it yourself, you wouldn't have waited until I saw it."
"Heh heh..." Dundun scratched his head and grinned sheepishly. He lived alone and was quite carefree.
While it wasn't dirty or messy, he wasn't exactly diligent.
Seeing Shen Wenhua so natural and not distant because of his identity made Dundun incredibly happy, but he still had some questions and didn't know how to bring them up.
Seeing his hesitation, Shen Wenhua spoke first, "Just say what you want to say, don't stand there like I'm bullying you."
"No, no, I was just... thinking about how to start."
"Have you thought of it now?"
"I have."
"Then ask, and I'll think about whether to answer," Shen Wenhua said, putting the items into a trash bag. Dundun quickly stepped forward to help.
"When... when did you discover my identity?"
Taking advantage of the moment while looking down to sort the trash bag, Dundun finally asked directly.
"When I was in elementary school," Shen Wenhua answered the question readily.
Dundun had the answer, but it was too simple. He wanted to know how she had discovered his identity.
However, before he could ask further, Shen Wenhua took the initiative to say, "Do you remember when my dad's factory used to give out soda tickets every summer?"
Zhan Dundun nodded quickly. This was a vivid memory for him because Liu Nanfeng's parents also received soda tickets, which was a form of welfare provided by the factory to help workers cool down during the summer.
However, most of these sodas ended up in the children's stomachs. Liu Nanfeng's family was no exception. Although they had more soda tickets because both parents worked there, it wasn't enough to withstand Liu Nanfeng and Dundun drinking them together. Halfway through each summer vacation, the soda tickets would usually be used up.
At this point, they could only freeload soda from other friends, and Shen Wenhua was a prime target.
Her family was also double-income, with plenty of soda tickets, and since she was the only girl, she often had more than she could use.
However, with these two gluttons around, Shen Wenhua didn't even have enough for herself, which made her very angry. To teach these two "tyrants" a lesson, she once secretly poured her father's Erguotou into the soda.
Of course, it wasn't just one bottle, but five or six bottles mixed with the soda. Without paying close attention, it was hard to detect.
The two who fell for it got completely drunk. Shen Wenhua intended to draw on their faces or paint little turtles on them while they were drunk.
Unexpectedly, Dundun, due to his drunkenness, directly transformed into his original form, which greatly startled Shen Wenhua.
At first, she was a little scared, but then, seeing that it was a panda, she became a little delighted. After all, in the eyes of Chinese people, pandas were synonymous with friendliness and憨态, and very few people would be afraid of them.
"It was then that I realized that there were people like you in this world. Sometimes I wonder if there are other animal forms hiding among humans besides you, and why do animals turn into people? I've been researching this question for years."
Dundun was suddenly enlightened. No wonder she kept those observation diaries; it turned out she was researching him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a slight discomfort.
Lately, had she agreed to go out with him just to study him?
Seeing Dundun suddenly lower his head with a dejected expression, Shen Wenhua was somewhat puzzled.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Dundun quickly composed himself, forcing a smile and saying, "No."
"Say what you want, I know you well enough," Shen Wenhua gave him a look.
For some reason, under Shen Wenhua's gaze, Dundun had no resistance and blurted out his thoughts.
Hearing this, Shen Wenhua burst into laughter.
