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

Chapter 23 Game Invitation?!

It's such a cliché and outdated procedure.

After Caesar, who thought he had gotten his wish but was slapped again, had several changes in his expression. Feeling that his dignity had been challenged, he lowered his head and bit down at Guo Mi!
Guo Mi deliberately raised her paw to block the bear's bite, preventing her true weakness from being exposed in the bear's mouth. As for the rest...

Unsurprisingly, it was the ear that got bitten again.

Guo Mi flinched, feeling a damp, warm sensation on her right ear. A hint of fear flashed in her eyes. She raised her two hind paws, pretending to want to resist but not daring to.

Caesar was probably used to being slapped by Guo Mi, so while he was angry at being hit by her claws, he was far less angry than he felt that this round-faced bear was acting inexplicably.

Previously, bears that had been beaten into submission by him would either flee in panic or cower on the ground, but this kind of bear, who dared to lash out at him even after being pinned under his claws, was truly unprecedented.

The naive male polar bear had no idea that the bear in front of him was just putting on an act to fool him.

Seeing that the round-faced bear was begging for mercy again, Caesar realized he had her weakness and decided to use her ears to threaten her from now on!
Thinking this, he immediately tightened his teeth holding Guo Mi's ear, and the round-faced bear underneath struggled and let out a weak plea for mercy.

Caesar released his mouth with satisfaction.

Guo Mi was unaware that the male bear in front of her was plotting to stab her ear. Seeing Caesar pressing his paw against his stomach with a pleased expression, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

She began to doubt whether her earlier impression of the bear as "cunning" was an illusion. This bear seemed to have a very wicked sense of humor, and was even a little... lewd?
Yes, it's obscene.

Guo Mi never imagined that one day she would use those two words to describe a bear.

But now is not the time to think about these things. She looked up at Caesar, and a meaningful look suddenly appeared on her bear-like face.

Looking into the male polar bear's round, almond-shaped eyes, one sentence was clearly written:

Since you won't hit me, then I'm going to hit you!
Before Caesar could even decipher the meaning behind her glance, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach!
It turned out that while Guo Mi was struggling because her ear was being bitten, she had secretly placed her hind paws on Caesar's stomach and kicked him hard, breaking free from his paws before he could react!

However, her kick wasn't very hard; it was just enough for her to escape.

She took advantage of the fact that she knew the male bear in front of her had no intention of killing her.

Not pushing her luck too far will bring her greater benefits. As long as she doesn't completely enrage the male bear, she can ensure her safety until he loses interest.

After all, even the most wicked beast will choose to kill its prey to protect itself if it feels its life is threatened.

Guo Mi understood this well and kept all her actions before the critical point. Now she needed to find a way to calm the male bear down so that she wouldn't completely enrage him if she tried to fight back or escape next time.

Just as Caesar was furious because the round-faced bear had gone back on its word again, he was suddenly brushed against on one side!
Guo Mi recalled the gestures of the carnivores when they expressed friendliness to each other during previous filming. She tentatively rubbed against the male bear, then raised her front paws and scratched her ears, which twitched.

She has too little knowledge about polar bears and doesn't know what this behavior means to them, but it's probably a gesture of goodwill.

Caesar was truly dumbfounded this time!
So far, he has clashed with this round-faced bear every time they meet, and the bear's sudden actions have left him completely baffled.

This is the kind of action that Slok only does when he's being affectionate with him!

Slok only does this when he wants to play with him, and only Slok does this to him. Now, another bear is doing the same thing to him!
Caesar was confused. Was she trying to play games with him?
...After a fierce battle?
What kind of bear would extend a play invitation in such a setting?

Caesar looked at Gomi and came to another conclusion: this was indeed a strange bear!
But… well, I'm in a pretty good mood today. I don't know why, even though he and the round-faced bear always fight, he doesn't actually dislike this bear much, and it's not like he can't satisfy her. Guo Mi was a little confused as to why the male bear was frozen in place. Then she saw him look at her with a suspicious and hesitant gaze, and after a moment, he raised his paw towards her?!
What's going on? Is this gesture not a gesture of goodwill, but a challenge?!

Guo Mi's eyes narrowed, and she sensed something was wrong. She quickly dodged to the side and ran two steps!
But then she saw the male bear opposite her light up slightly, and the next moment it pretended to be dignified, giving her a "condescending" look before trotting after her!

Guo Mi's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this. Had she misjudged the situation? Had her actions actually angered the male bear, and was he about to fight her?

Her eyes sharpened instantly. Since this "battle for life and death" was unavoidable, she had no choice but to go all out!
So the "giant furball" rallied and charged toward Caesar once more with great momentum!

Who would have thought that the male polar bear, which had just been trotting this way, would suddenly turn around and run backwards!
Guo Mi: "?!"

Her "charge" came to a halt, and she looked at the male bear with surprise and uncertainty as it ran a few steps and then stopped to look back at her.

What is she doing? Did she accidentally do something strange?

Guo Mi wasn't so naive as to think the male bear was afraid of her.

During the short time they lingered, the male bear opposite them began pawing at the ground with its front paws, emitting impatient growls.

Caesar looked at the round-faced bear with some confusion. What was going on? Didn't she want to play together?

Guo Mi snapped out of her daze, looked at the male polar bear opposite her, and recalled the other polar bears she had met in the forest. A terrible thought came to her mind!

She raised her paw and tentatively took two steps toward the male bear.

As expected, the other side showed a satisfied expression and started running again!
Guo Mi was stunned. Guo Mi understood!

The bear is playing a chasing game with her!
This is actually the simplest little game among bears, but many animals play similar games.

However, brown bears are naturally aggressive, and except during the salmon run, the most likely outcome of them meeting is a fight!

When salmon migrate, everyone is busy hunting and naturally has no time to play, so it's rare to see two brown bears playing a chasing game together.

Compared to aggressive brown bears, male polar bears seem to be more social.

However, in this scenario, it seems extremely absurd that the male bear wanted to play a chasing game with her!

Guo Mi looked at Caesar with a strange expression, then her eyes suddenly lit up. Perhaps she could use this opportunity to escape with the two bear cubs?

Fun Fact:

Although polar bears are larger than brown bears, brown bears are more irritable and much more aggressive than polar bears!

Compared to female polar bears, male polar bears are not purely solitary; they often gather together, and although there is a lot of fighting, they also have more social interactions.

Fights between male bears typically occur at two times: when they fight for food and when they fight for mates.
