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

Chapter 31 Caesar Revisited
At this moment, no further words were needed. Guo Mi knew that something was approaching. The two mother bears immediately went on high alert, gathered the three cubs together, and established a defensive line in front of them.

Seeing the mother bear's increasingly agitated expression, Guo Mi suddenly felt a sense of foreboding!
She also raised her nose and tried to sniff.

If she were that close, she should be able to smell it too.

A familiar scent wafted into her nostrils, and Guo Mi's expression immediately darkened as she looked up in the direction from which the scent was coming.

On the high snow slope, the first thing to appear was a fluffy head, followed by a pair of strangely familiar eyes and ears that bobbed up and down with each step...

Finally, the male bear's silhouette appeared fully on the snow slope.

It's Caesar!
Although she had a premonition, Guo Mi still couldn't stop her headache when she actually saw him.

She didn't know what was wrong with this male bear. She hadn't provoked him or stolen his food, so why did he keep appearing in front of her?

When Xia Tian saw Caesar, she was first taken aback, then unconsciously relaxed a little, and her eyes subconsciously looked behind Caesar.

Once he was sure there was no one behind him, he immediately became highly vigilant again, growling at Caesar a few times to threaten him not to come closer.

Normally, if a male bear as big as Caesar were to appear, it would choose to run away with its cubs in the summer.

But now Guo Mi is also there, with two little bears with her.

Escaping the male bear's pursuit is no easy task. This bear can't even swim, so it's easy to imagine how difficult it would be to protect the two cubs and make a safe retreat.

In this snowfield, it would be very difficult for an injured polar bear to survive. They have two adult bears, and even Caesar would probably choose to retreat.

So after much deliberation, Xia Tian decided to stay.

But that's all she can do; if Caesar attacks, she'll still run away with the bear cub.

Gomi noticed her unusual behavior and guessed that she might know Caesar, but she also knew that now was not a good time to chat.

Seeing that Caesar was completely unmoved by the summer's threat, he simply sat down, his gaze calmly fixed on him, his ears slightly folded back.

Even without saying anything, Guo Mi instantly understood that he had come to find her.

She sighed inwardly. She was already grateful that Xia Tian had chosen to stay, and she had her bear cub with her. She couldn't let Xia Tian become a burden to her any further.

So Guo Mi turned her head and whispered to Xia Tian:

"Summer, take your bear cubs and leave here first."

Xia Tian looked at her in surprise upon hearing this, and asked incredulously:

"what?"

A sense of vicissitude washed over Guo Mi's eyes, and she said helplessly:

"He came looking for me; I can't drag you into this."

Summer's surprise only increased upon hearing this!

Coming to see her?

What would a male bear want with cubs?!

Although it's almost summer, spring isn't over yet. Could it be that he's thinking...?

Summer's gaze instantly fell on the salmon and fish bones that were looking up at her blankly.

A mother bear with cubs cannot mate with a male bear.

The only way for a male bear to mate with a female bear with cubs is to kill the cubs, forcing the female bear to enter estrus prematurely.

These two bear cubs belong to Kaya. Kaya is dead, and they are so young!
Xia Tian felt a pang of guilt; her mind went blank as a sudden impulse surged within her!
Once he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but say:
"Guo Mi, how about we..."

As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently swept over Caesar, and she suddenly realized that the male bear's gaze had somehow fallen on the three bear cubs, revealing a murderous intent!
Xia Tian instantly snapped out of her daze, the words that had just slipped out of her mouth stopping involuntarily. After a moment of hesitation, she looked at Guo Mi with a troubled and apologetic expression. Guo Mi understood what she meant; some things didn't need to be said aloud.

Although the time spent together was short, Guo Mi could tell that Xia Tian cherished her little bear cub very much and couldn't bear to expose it to danger.

Besides, Caesar was no ordinary bear.

Guo Mi understood Xia Tian's choice very well. Her eyes showed comfort as she offered Xia Tian some words of advice:
"Take the bear cubs and leave quickly."

Having said all that, Xia Tian looked down at the salmon and fish bones again, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes. In the end, she took the little bear cub and ran away from there.

Caesar watched her leave with the teddy bear, a silent sneer playing on his lips.
"At least you know what's good for you."

He showed no intention of chasing after them, his gaze fixed solely on Guo Mi. Only after Xia Tian and the little bear disappeared did he slowly rise and walk towards Guo Mi.

Guo Mi looked at him warily, her slightly bared teeth gleaming coldly, and growled:

"do not come!"

Caesar stopped in his tracks as he approached her, somewhat puzzled. In the two previous encounters they had, whether they had fought or played together, she had never explicitly forbidden him from getting close. What was going on today?
A hint of displeasure flashed in the tall polar bear's eyes. It grunted twice, its gaze lingering for two seconds on the two bear cubs behind Guo Mi, and it understood what was going on.

He asked what happened, and it turned out that the two cubs were too close together.

The first two times, she hid the two little ones in a safe place far away, which is why she wasn't so resistant.

This time, the two little cubs didn't have time to hide, no wonder they wouldn't let him get close.

Tsk, these two little brats are really in the way, maybe we should just kill them!
Caesar's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he looked at the two bear cubs!
Guo Mi noticed his gaze and was startled. She took two steps forward to block his view, lowered her body and looked aggressive, forcing Caesar to look directly at her.

"move back."

Guo Mi roared as she approached Caesar.

Caesar was initially quite dismissive. After so many battles, the outcome was obvious, so why would he want to keep trying?
But when he met Guo Mi's gaze, Caesar's carefree attitude unconsciously dissipated, and he began to look her in the eye, which was a rare occurrence for him.

There was no other reason than that Guo Mi had never shown this kind of look when they fought before.

He always felt that Guo Mi was a special bear, both in appearance and behavior. Perhaps there were other special things about him besides these, but he couldn't figure them out. He just had this feeling.

I keep thinking about things I can't understand, which is why I keep bothering her.

Last time, he thought he had discovered everything the bear was hiding, but it turned out to be a stubborn bear with hard bones, and he thought he would soon lose interest in it.

But a few days later, he found himself still wanting to see the mother bear, so he went to see her again.

Now Caesar finally understood what was so special about this bear.

It was her eyes that were unlike those of a bear, or any other predator in the Arctic.

She seemed to have a bad temper and little patience, but strangely, her eyes always radiated a sense of calm, not an overt calm, but a feeling that emanated from her.

In the summer, human ships would pass by here, and he had seen dogs brought here by humans, a kind of domesticated animal.

That wasn't Guo Mi's gaze either.

She looked strange, not like a wild beast, or even an animal!
She is like...

Caesar recalled carefully, and suddenly another memory surged into his mind: the creature's eyes gradually overlapped with Guo Mi's eyes, and he suddenly realized:
Her eyes are like human eyes!

but now……

Caesar watched as Guo Mi, shielding the two bear cubs behind her, approached him step by step, and silently thought:

She looks like a wild beast now.
