Deep affection knows no origin; remember the polar bear's love for you.

Chapter 149 They Made Up

Guo Mi had noticed Caesar's hesitation earlier, and she had guessed what he wanted to say, but she never expected it to be this.

A bear with an extremely strong personality, and considered a loner within its species, would obviously have to go through a lot of psychological struggle to get it to lower its head and beg for peace with another bear.

Guo Mi could never understand Caesar; she couldn't fathom what it was about her that made him so devoted to her.

The massive polar bear stood still, merely craning its neck to look at her—a deliberate, polite social distance, but a silent question:

May I come closer to you?
Unease, hesitation, and even a hint of trepidation flickered in those brown eyes.

Putting everything else aside, Caesar is a giant, furry bear. If Guo Mi were still human, she would be immediately struck by his cuteness upon seeing him with that expression. In the past, she might have already started taking pictures.

Feeling her heart begin to soften, Guo Mi stared conflictedly at the tree Caesar had dragged back. The two little bears, ears tucked together, were frantically eating the fruit on the tree, their teeth grimacing from the sourness, but they still didn't stop.

Who would have thought that one day two cubs would be enjoying the fruits of the male bear's labor under his watchful eye?
When Caesar received no response, he sat down on the ground and began to slowly move his buttocks toward Guo Mi, all the while maintaining an indifferent expression on his face.

After a while, he seemed dissatisfied with his approach speed, so he simply put his front paws on the ground, lifted his buttocks and took a big step to the side, landing with a faint thud!
Realizing he had made too much noise, the male bear immediately tilted his head, looked up at the sky, his ears twitching incessantly, and his eyes darting to the corners of his eyes as he secretly sized up Guo Mi.

Guo Mi took a deep breath as she watched his furtive movements, feeling utterly helpless.

She had long understood that Caesar and she actually had no conflict; their only difference was in their understanding of each other.

But Caesar is now restraining his instincts, which is truly remarkable for a wild bear.

After thinking for a long time, she still asked Caesar:

Will you still eat the bear cubs in the future?

Caesar was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and then he gritted his teeth. In the end, it all came down to these two brats!

He looked at the two little ones with a conflicted expression, and finally said in a muffled voice:

"I won't eat these two little brats!"

He emphasized "these two little brats" in his tone, as if he were trying to save face one last time.

Guo Mi was helpless, but she knew that this was Caesar's biggest concession. It was unfair and difficult for him to be forced to become a "domesticated animal" as the overlord of the snow.

"If you ever try to take advantage of the teddy bear again..."

Guo Mi paused, her eyes flashing with threat, and a roar came from her throat:
"Caesar, if you ever try to take advantage of the little bear again, I'll fight you to the death, and I'll never let you get near me again!"

With his objective achieved, Caesar paid no heed to anything else and readily agreed.
"I know, I know."

He stood up from the ground, swaggered over to Guo Mi, and sat down right next to her without any hesitation!
The two bear cubs stopped eating the fruit and stared at him in shock, seemingly stunned by his "shamelessness".

Caesar noticed their gazes, turned his head, and bared his teeth at the bear cub. He let out a low growl to scare them, but then remembered what he had just promised and immediately shut his mouth. He turned back to look innocently at Guo Mi, his eyes saying:

I did not do anything.

Guo Mi's eyes twitched, and she silently looked away. Now that things had come to this, Caesar was definitely not going to leave. After resting for a while, Guo Mi set off, continuing her journey back the way she had come.

Caesar said nothing, focusing solely on following behind Guo Mi.

Previously, Guo Mi would lead the two bear cubs in front, and he would follow behind.

Now he felt he had gained special privileges, ignoring Guo Mi's disapproving gaze, he insisted on walking alongside her, and with a perfectly justified attitude:

"Didn't we make up? Why can't I walk with you? We're good friends!"

The two little bears dared not speak out in anger, and eventually Caesar became the one who walked on the left side of Guo Mi, while the two little bears sometimes walked on the right side and sometimes followed behind.

Although Caesar promised not to eat them, his nature remained wicked, and he would often scare the bear cubs, hoping to see them tumble and crawl away.

At first, the little bear would be scared and run away, but gradually it would just back away, and eventually it even ignored the fish bones.

Caesar tried to scare the bear several times, but the bear looked at him like he was an idiot. Caesar muttered to himself, "This is pointless," and then never did such a bad thing again.

Guo Mi was quite surprised. During one of her meals, she saw the little bear struggling to tear at the meat in its mouth not far from Caesar, and its little eyes inadvertently showed a hint of ferocity. Suddenly, she understood.

It seems that the wolves' mistreatment was not only a fright and an undeserved disaster for the bear cubs, but also completely changed their perception of the world.

The bear cub has completed its transformation from a cub to a sub-adult.

The Arctic temperature dropped rapidly; just as summer had said, within days the surrounding vegetation was already covered in frost for an extended period. The moment their claws stepped into the sphere of influence of the human town, the first snowflake fell from the sky—

The temperature plummeted.

Guo Mi was already hugging the little bear next to her tightly while she was sleeping.

Caesar originally wanted to sleep close to her, but was ruthlessly chased away. He lay not far away and watched as Guo Mi not only held one cub in her arms, but also gestured for another cub to stick close to her.

The male bear exhaled a puff of hot air from its nostrils and snorted coldly:
"Why go through all that trouble? My bear will keep you warm and cozy!"

Guo Mi pretended not to hear.

Caesar suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at her with a probing gaze.

They clearly don't look alike, and they're so afraid of the cold, how could they possibly be polar bears?
That stupid bear Slok can't even figure out his own affairs, so nothing he says is credible!
Caesar's eyes flickered, and he once again began to doubt whether Guo Mi was truly a polar bear:
She is definitely not a polar bear!

...But then again, what if she just looks a little strange? Maybe we should just ask her directly?
Guo Mi hugged the teddy bear and huddled closer together. She was too lazy to dig a hole while on her way, so she just found a sheltered spot, but she still felt cold.

Lately, I've been feeling increasingly weak. Once I close my eyes, I can't open them again. Several times, Caesar had to rub against me hard to wake me up.

It seems that hibernation is unavoidable.

Worry appeared in Guo Mi's eyes; she hoped to return to the snow mountain before she went into complete hibernation.

After Caesar pondered for a while, he finally decided to ask Guo Mi himself when he suddenly heard muffled footsteps beside him, and a large, furry head suddenly poked its head out:
"We've been walking for so many days, where are we going?"
