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

Chapter 103 I'm leaving here
Caesar was indeed very nervous; he didn't know if a bouquet of flowers would please Guo Mi.

After all, in his eyes, this bouquet of flowers seemed far less tangible than a prey, and Guo Mi's confused and bewildered gaze made him increasingly uncertain.

After a long pause, he heard Guo Mi ask him with difficulty:

"...Why did you give me this?"

Caesar's heart leaped into his throat as he struggled to organize his thoughts, striving to appear as sincere as possible:
"Don't you like these flowers? You picked a lot of them when we were together last time."

Upon receiving this answer, Guo Mi twitched her lips and breathed a genuine sigh of relief. It turned out she had been overthinking things.

The reason for collecting those flowers is certainly partly due to their beauty and fragrance, but more often it's to help oneself sleep better or to mask the smell of the warehouse.

But now both of her holes are gone!
The thought of those upsetting things made Guo Mi's mood drop considerably.

Even if Caesar was thick-skinned, he was still a beast. He couldn't be so oblivious as to not realize this. He immediately thought he had delivered the wrong thing, his whole body stiffened, and he was somewhat at a loss.

Then a voice suddenly came from above Guo Mi's head:
"I'm going to hunt other prey!"

She was startled, and then saw the bear getting up to leave, so she quickly called out to him:
"and many more!"

Caesar turned around and saw Guo Mi lower her head to sniff the bouquet on the ground, then look up at him and smile slightly:

"Thank you for the flowers, I really like them."

Regardless, Guo Mi was still very happy to receive flowers as a bear.

Caesar scrutinized her closely, and seeing no sign of pretense, he breathed a sigh of relief. He opened his mouth, wanting to talk to Guo Mi, but didn't know where to begin, and the atmosphere cooled down again.

The male bear was somewhat disappointed, but the next second he heard Guo Mi actually speak up:
"Caesar, I have something to say to you."

She spent the whole morning thinking about it before making that decision. Come to think of it, when she arrived in the Arctic, she only had the Kaiser Slok brothers and Summer as her three friends.

Summer has been gone for a long time, and she can't find her.

Despite everything that had happened between her and Caesar, he remained her friend in her heart, so Guo Mi decided to say goodbye to him:
"I'm getting ready to leave here."

Caesar hesitated, his subconscious telling him that his words might not be so simple, but he still asked in a low voice:

"Leaving here? Are you tired of the berries and want to find other prey elsewhere?"

He immediately wanted to say "Let's go together," but then he remembered that Guo Mi seemed to be very resistant to traveling with him. The words he wanted to say stuck in his throat and he didn't say them.

Guo Mi knew he had misunderstood her meaning, paused for two seconds, and then explained softly:
"What I mean is, I'm leaving this area and going to live somewhere else, like..."

Fearing Caesar still wouldn't understand, she thought for a moment and found an example that would be easier for him to comprehend:
"Just like you and Slok's mother, I will never go back to the foot of the snow mountain."

Caesar opened his mouth, looking at Guo Mi's serious expression, and was speechless.

He wanted to say that his mother hadn't left; she was actually...

But he knew that wasn't the point today.

Caesar hesitated for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice:

"I……"

He paused here, perhaps afraid of rejection, or perhaps already used to his useless younger brother following him around, and deliberately added Slok's name:

“Slok and I can go with you…”

Guo Mi looked at him in surprise, seemingly shocked by his decision:

"Caesar..."

Caesar didn't know what was wrong with him; his mind was a bit fuzzy. He could only interrupt her and state his most direct thoughts:

"Don't worry, I won't go near the bear cubs." He glanced at the two little cubs hiding behind Guo Mi, his eyes dimming slightly. He stood up and took two steps back, making way for them.

Seeing him like this, Guo Mi felt a pang of sadness and even more helplessness. She gently asked Caesar:

"Why are you following me, Caesar?"

From the moment they met, Caesar followed her, through their initial hostility, their brief period of peaceful coexistence, and finally their conflict.

Caesar followed behind her the whole time.

The reason Guo Mi didn't know.

It may be rare for a brown bear to appear in the freezing cold, but that shouldn't be enough to keep Caesar relentlessly pursuing her.

Guo Mi's question left Caesar bewildered. He had never thought of it before; he only knew that he wanted to follow her, so he had been following her all along.

Is it because of the teddy bear?

The male bear lowered his head, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes, and asked in a low voice.

Guo Mi blinked:

"……what?"

Caesar's gaze fell on the two cubs behind Guo Mi, his eyes flashing with a cold, fierce light, and he asked Guo Mi:

"Is it because you're worried about the safety of these two little ones that you've been resisting me?"

Guo Mi immediately denied it:

"Not because of this."

"What's that for?"

Caesar didn't believe it, staring intently at Guo Mi:

"You think I'll bite these two little brats to death, so you're trying to avoid me by having them do it all?"

His tone became heated:
"But subconsciously, haven't you already lowered your guard against me long ago?"

Guo Mi stared at him in a daze. Suddenly, the male bear stood up and approached her.

"If you really thought I would bite them to death, then you should have taken these two little brats and run away the moment you saw me, instead of staying with me in the berry forest for so many days."

"Even now, as I stand right here, have you ever thought about taking those two little brats and getting away from me?"

It has to be said that Caesar finally said something useful, and Guo Mi suddenly realized something.

Indeed, she didn't know when it started, but when she encountered Caesar with her teddy bear, her first reaction wasn't to be wary or cautious, but rather to breathe a sigh of relief.

Because she would rather the bear that suddenly appears be Caesar than a strange male bear.

In a sense, she had indeed already placed her trust in Caesar.

Seeing that she was softening, Caesar took another step back and continued:
"If you feel I haven't given you a definite answer yet, then I promise you now, I absolutely won't kill these two little brats, so you won't have to leave here. Is that okay?"

He looked at Guo Mi expectantly, wanting to hear the answer he longed to hear.

Guo Mi was surprised that Caesar would go to such lengths to follow her, but unfortunately, that wasn't the reason she wanted to leave.

Thus, the expectant male bear did not receive the answer he desired, but only heard Guo Mi's reply:
"Caesar, I still want to leave here, and I don't approve of you coming with me."

Before the male bear became enraged, she said earnestly:
“Caesar, you have your own life. The snow-capped mountains and ice floes are where you grew up. That is your true world. The place I’m going to is very different from the snow-capped mountains. It’s not suitable for you.”
