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

Chapter 20 A Stubborn Bear
The sounds coming from inside the cave were intermittent, followed by soft trembling and heavy snoring, all of which indicated how soundly the "sinful bear" was sleeping!
These past two days, I've been braving the elements with my cub, barely making it through, only to have my den taken over and now I'm sleeping in the cold wind. Meanwhile, the silly bear in the den is taking over and sleeping until it naturally wakes up every day!
Guo Mi took a deep breath, twitched her lips, and revealed her canine teeth, which flashed with a sharp, cold light as she tried to suppress her anger.

A few seconds later, she exhaled a hot breath from her nostrils and raised her paw toward the cave entrance!

—Trying to stay calm failed!

The giant polar bear, fast asleep in its den, twitched its soft paw pads, its nose twitched slightly, and its tightly closed eyes parted a crack, revealing a cold and fierce gaze.

But the hostility in that gaze quickly dissipated, replaced by a moment of stunned surprise.

In the past, whenever the round-faced bear sensed his presence, it would always run away with its two cubs, and after he woke up, it would follow the scent.

During this time, he had been following the round-faced bear around. To be honest, although every hole she dug was indeed a good place to sleep, he was getting tired of it.

I thought that when I woke up this time, all I would have left was the scent of the other person as they fled, but to my surprise, she actually came closer to me!
Hearing the approaching footsteps above its head, the vicious polar bear's eyes gleamed with a triumphant light!

The thought that the bear, who had always kept his distance from him, was now finally approaching him on its own initiative made Caesar simply roll over and fall asleep again in the cave, his breathing even becoming a little short from excitement.

The slightly heavy footsteps characteristic of bears stopped at the cave entrance. Caesar pretended to be serious while wondering what the round-faced bear would do next.

Should we destroy the entrance to bury him like before, or should we be more aggressive and go straight into the hole to fight him?

Caesar guessed it might be the second one. Although they had little contact, he always felt that the round-faced bear seemed to be forcibly suppressing something.

He's driven her to the point of losing all her reason!
He might soon see what he wants to see in this bear.

Caesar felt a sense of pleasure. His warlike nature made it difficult for him to conceal his excitement at the prospect of fighting, even though he didn't intend to kill his opponent!
However, he waited in the cave for a long time, but there was no sound from the entrance.

If it weren't for the strong scent of the round-faced bear emanating from his nose, Caesar wouldn't have thought the footsteps he just heard were an illusion!
The bear is now guarding the cave entrance, but it hasn't done anything.

Caesar looked up and saw nothing but the dark sky framed by the cave entrance.

The excitement of finally getting what I had been waiting for came to an abrupt end.

With its thick, wide paws scratching at the cave wall, the great polar bear was somewhat displeased that it hadn't gotten what it wanted.

Caesar looked up at the sky again and finally realized that, compared to the round-faced bear, it was he who had run out of patience first.
He decided not to wait any longer and prepared to climb out of the cave to find out what was going on.

Thanks to Guo Mi's final impatience and perfunctory attitude, this hole was not dug as deep as the previous ones.

Caesar can simply lift his front paws to stand up and expose his head at the entrance of the hole. His lower limbs can stand firmly at the bottom of the hole, instead of being forced back into the hole due to insufficient support as last time.

A snow-white bear head peeked out of the cave entrance, curiously looking around.

Caesar's gaze swept around, until finally his eyes fell upon the round body and a paw that also looked round.

...one?
Caesar hesitated slightly; even though he reacted quickly and looked up, it was too late!
Guo Mi had been waiting for a long time, and she raised her bear paw high and slammed it down on the exposed white bear head!

Her target was very obvious; her heavy bear paw landed directly on Caesar's nose!

Caesar was caught off guard by the sudden slap, and his vulnerable nose, which was not protected by fur, was suddenly struck by a sharp and intense pain!
But Guo Mi was not satisfied with just one pat. As soon as the bear paw finished the first pat, it immediately lifted up and followed up with a second pat!
After the third shot, the wretched male bear in the cave had already raised its paw to protect its nose!
Guo Mi expressed a slight regret, then immediately swung her claws again without hesitation, fiercely attacking Caesar! Caesar was genuinely stunned at first, enduring several blows from Guo Mi before he reacted. He didn't expect that after protecting his nose, the other party would start attacking his entire head!

Finally, it even seemed that one claw was not enough, so it simply took turns swinging both claws at him!
This comfortable sleeping hole now severely restricts Caesar's movements, leaving him unable to retaliate and forced to passively endure attacks.

Caesar had originally planned to find a gap to crawl out of the hole dug by the round-faced bear, but he was surprised to find that the bear's claws were moving faster than he had ever seen before!

The movements looked just like... just like the way she used to dig a hole that he had seen her do before!

A few days ago, he was jokingly thinking that this bear was digging holes pretty fast, but now he has personally witnessed the speed at which the bear swings its claws!

Although the damage was minor, it forced him to retreat back into the cave.

Guo Mi saw him retreat and didn't intend to chase him into the cave; she hadn't completely lost her mind.

The male bear is inside the cave, while she guards outside. Taking advantage of the terrain, she has the upper hand.

If she had followed them into the hole, in that cramped space, she might have been the one with her throat bitten off.

Next, as soon as the male bear poked its head out of the cave, Guo Mi would repeat her old trick and unleash a barrage of attacks on the bear's white head!
Guo Mi swung her claws so fast that you could see afterimages. Seeing that her opponent had no choice but to retreat back into the cave, her eyes were filled with a ferocious smile. Her originally round, furry, and honest bear face even showed a kind of crazy feeling of revenge!
You like to hog my hole, right? Well then you can stay in there!
This exhilarating "ground-hitting bear" game, which only had one entrance, continued until late at night!
A cold wind, carrying ice and snow, swept towards Guo Mi, and the temperature plummeted, making her shiver.

But Guo Mi has persisted until now solely because of her desire for revenge against this male bear!

Two bear cubs wanted to come over and warm her up, but she firmly refused for safety reasons. They are now hiding in the distance, their little heads close together, watching her with concern.

The two bears, one inside and one outside, are now locked in a stalemate, and Guo Mi, despite the heavy cold wind, has no intention of letting Caesar go.

Caesar, too, had long lost his initial ease and joy, growing increasingly anxious as he remained in the cramped cave entrance.

Most polar bears are lazy and will quickly give up or shift their attention if they cannot complete a task in a short time.

He had never seen a bear last so long.

But even with that, she couldn't seriously injure him; at most, she could only trap him in the cave.

Caesar let out an impatient hiss, wondering when she would give up. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene of secretly watching the round-faced bear catching fish.

At first glance, it seems impatient and hasty, but in reality, it persists for a long time. No matter how many times it fails, it never gives up. It keeps trying and changing its methods until it catches the fish.

Caesar stopped his impatient little movements. He suddenly realized that although the round-faced bear outside seemed impatient, it was actually a stubborn bear through and through!

Judging from the current situation, she is very likely not to give up in the short term and will remain in this stalemate with him for a long time!

Guo Mi: I'm not some bear made of steamed buns!
