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

Chapter 175 Eat!
Caesar had no intention of abandoning his plan. He picked up the meat he had brought again and started walking towards Guo Mi.

As usual, before enjoying her prey, Guo Mi planned to repair her traps.

She paid close attention to the distance when dragging the seal, ensuring that the cub could get back quickly if other bears appeared while it was feeding.

The two male bears didn't try to hide their scent; she had already smelled it while hunting seals, so she wasn't surprised when they appeared in front of her.

Caesar saw the ice hole at Gomi's feet, and on the other side of her body, there was another one.

The two holes look very similar, except that the one next to Guo Mi's feet has a subtle sense of incongruity, a difference that polar bears living on the ice year-round need to look closely to notice.

It seems that this hole is the one that Guo Mi dug.

Recalling the recent seal hunt by Gomi, Caesar could guess that the hole probably hadn't been dug through.

...The round-faced plate bear seems to be very good at digging holes.

Looking back, Caesar had almost lost count of how many holes Guo Mi had dug.

These holes served various purposes: some were used to store food, some to maintain body temperature, and some... to trick him.

That was the first hole he saw Guo Mi create. Although she didn't dig it, it was indeed because of her that it appeared.

This caused him to fall headfirst into the hole, and it took him quite a while to get out.

Caesar looked at Gomi with a complex and amazed expression.

The round-faced plate bear is really strange.

Her hunting methods were so different from those of ordinary bears. Many of her methods were things that all bears could do, but before her, no bear had ever done them.

Beyond these unusual methods...

Caesar's eyes dimmed.

Instead of immediately presenting the meat he had brought to Guo Mi to express his feelings, he simply put the meat aside and deliberately looked into Guo Mi's eyes.

These eyes, when they occasionally revealed a successful hunt, did not show joy, but rather a blank emptiness and an unspeakable lament.

Caesar had seen it by chance a few times.

He couldn't understand it then, and he still can't now.

He had expected to see it again, but strangely, he didn't.

Guo Mi's eyes were calm, even carrying a hint of doubt about his arrival:

"Caesar? What brings you here?"

For some reason, an idea inexplicably popped into Caesar's mind:
That's right, that's how it should be. Guo Mi is already a qualified bear.

This thought startled him, and he couldn't help but feel that he was imagining things. Guo Mi was clearly a bear.

Guo Mi waited a long time for the male bear opposite her to explain his purpose, and his eyes began to look less friendly.

"Ah, Guo Mi, it's been a long time!"

Slok's voice suddenly interrupted, completely disrupting the strange atmosphere that had just been there.

Guo Mi shifted her unfriendly gaze from Caesar and just then saw Slok swaying over, a little blood still on his lips.

It looks like he got a bite of the still-steaming seal meat from the little bear.

The slow-witted bear, not very perceptive of anything, came over and saw that Caesar hadn't delivered the meat yet, and immediately looked at him with a "this stupid bear is beyond redemption" gaze.

Caesar's lips twitched, forcibly suppressing his itching claws and resisting the urge to strike him.

Slok felt he needed to help his poor, cold-blooded older brother.

So he took the initiative to drag the meat over and bring it to Guo Mi:

"Guo Mi! This is a seal that Caesar specially went to catch. We went through a lot of trouble to drag it here. It's a gift for you!" Slok may have many flaws, but his mouth is definitely the most endearing part of him to bears!
Of course, Caesar is not among these bears.

As the saying goes, one doesn't strike a smiling bear with a claw. Hearing that it was prey they had brought specifically, Guo Mi felt embarrassed to be too harsh on Caesar, so she turned her attention to Slock and asked curiously:
Why did you bring me prey?

Slok looked a little embarrassed and tugged at his ear with his paw:

"It's like this, we heard you stole a lot of bear prey..."

"Uh……"

Although it was indeed her own doing, Guo Mi couldn't help but feel ashamed when she heard about her "misdeeds" from other bears.

Slok, oblivious, merely glanced at Caesar with a mocking look:

"After hearing about it, Caesar was worried that you and the salmon bones might be starving, so he went out of his way to catch a seal!"

He chuckled awkwardly twice as he said this:

"But we didn't expect that you actually have no shortage of prey."

Slok's embarrassment lasted only a few seconds before curiosity took over.

"We all saw you hunt the seal just now, how did you do that?!"

He took two steps forward and quickly noticed the unusual hole at Guo Mi's feet.

Although the male bear was thick-skinned, it wasn't stupid. It quickly figured out how Guo Mi had dragged the escaped seal back to the ice, and immediately fell to its knees in admiration.

"You're amazing! How come I never thought of that before!"

Guo Mi sighed. No matter what, the two bears were indeed thinking of her, which was why they went to such lengths to drag their prey over.

Knowing the habits of bears makes it all the more precious.

She sincerely thanked her:

"Thank you, Slok."

Then he looked at Caesar, treating him the same way, and said in the same serious tone:
"Thank you, Caesar."

The male bear's eyes lit up. He looked down at his paws and quickly moved his paws to leave another large paw print next to them, silently expressing his pleasure.

Of course, this joy didn't last long, because Guo Mi said:

"But we don't need to hunt. As you can see, I am capable of feeding myself and the bear cubs. Hunting is very precious in winter, so you should hurry up and eat it."

Caesar silently stopped making paw prints in the snow, and a low-pressure atmosphere enveloped the entire bear, making it appear eerie.

Slok wasn't surprised by Gomi's response, but since the prey was Caesar, his questioning gaze fell on Caesar.

Guo Mi smiled gratefully at them, and then prepared to return to the little bear's side.

Before he could take two steps, he was suddenly blocked by the huge body of a male bear!

Guo Mi's eyes darkened, and she took two steps to the side, trying to get around him, but Caesar followed closely behind and blocked her way again!
“Caesar!” Slok called softly from the side.

Caesar, however, seemed not to hear, his gaze fixed intently on Guo Mi, his voice cold and hard:

"eat!"

"hiss--"

Slok gasped, screaming inwardly!
I don't understand why Caesar's attitude changed so quickly. This demeanor is exactly like... like...

I met Guo Mi a long time ago, before she was born.

Guo Mi narrowed her eyes, and her tone became dangerous:

"What did you say?"
