This is a stress response to an unknown stimulus. Lin Yu'an's heart tightened as well, and he even began to doubt whether he was doing the right thing.
But the idea of giving up flashed by in an instant; he couldn't abandon it halfway due to December's temporary discomfort, as that would only make it suffer more.
What he could do now was offer one hundred percent patience and comfort, speaking softly and gently to the little creature in his arms.
"There, there, it's okay, December, relax... I know this feels strange, but trust me, this is good for you..."
He no longer thought about the GoPro lens or any scientific data; all his attention was focused on the little life in his arms that was resisting him.
"It will be over soon, see, just like this... we're just doing a little cleaning..."
He continued this dual form of verbal and action comfort with patience. Time ticked by, second by second.
After about one or two minutes, a wonderful change occurred.
