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

Chapter 205 Thank you for taking care of my little bear.

The little bears chattered incessantly around Guo Mi, telling her in great detail what had happened after she fell asleep.

The giant furball was just awakened from its sleep, its mind seemed a little sluggish, and there was still a clear sense of confusion in its eyes. It forced itself to listen carefully to what the little bear was saying.

A cold snowflake landed on her nose, a gust of wind slipped past her ear, and Guo Mi shivered. She reached out and scooped up a small furball next to her, hugging it tightly. She said to the other one:

"Go on."

Fishbone stopped, looked at the salmon being held by Guo Mi, and envy rose in Dou Dou's eyes. Then she looked at Guo Mi longingly.

Guo Mi's ears twitched, looking rather troubled. After sleeping for quite some time, when she looked at the bear cubs again, their growth was clearly visible to the naked eye.

Looking back from when I met them until now, a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the little guy is already over a year old.

The little furballs are no longer the little furballs they used to be; they can no longer be easily tucked into your arms like you would a doll.

Even if it's just a salmon, it's already quite a strain to hug it as tightly as before.

Guo Mi thought for a moment, then released her grip on the salmon and patted it beside her. The two little bears cheered and squeezed together to hug her tightly.

The warmth of the bear cub seeped through her fur and warmed her body. Guo Mi sighed comfortably and smiled, saying:
"Go on."

Just as Little Bear was talking about how a male bear had dug up their hiding place, Guo Mi stopped abruptly, her whole body tense, and secretly glanced to the side.

Not far from them, a huge male bear sat with its back to them in front of the collapsed cave, looking up at the sky, its whole body shrouded in vicissitudes.

The long, flowing fur stood up in a messy, upright manner. Although the chaotic footprints in front of the cave entrance "ruins" were partially covered by snow, the intense scene that had just occurred was still evident. At least the tufts of fur sticking up in the snow and trembling in the wind were still telling the story of what their owner had gone through.

Guo Mi noticed Yu Gu's gaze and also glanced at the male bear sitting not far away, letting out a cold snort of annoyance.

The cave had already collapsed, so the culprit couldn't possibly be Little Bear, especially since he was the first thing I saw when I woke up.

It was inevitable that Caesar would get a beating.

The silly bear didn't react after being hit the first time, and even stretched his head forward again. Of course, Guo Mi didn't hold back and hit him two, three, four, five, and six more times.

They were going to kick him out, but he was so shameless that he sat down and refused to move. Guo Mi was almost ready to bite him.

Fortunately, the falling snow brought her to her senses.

The Arctic is not a human society, and the survival of polar bears was still a concern. Guo Mi knew very well that she did not want Caesar to lose his life, and after hesitating for a moment, she still did not take the plunge.

Caesar finally got his wish and stayed, but of course he was ignored.

Instead of getting angry after being hit, it sulked and sat down with its backside facing Guo Mi. It would look up at the sky and then at the ground, and occasionally raise its paw to touch its beaten face.

If it weren't for his ears twitching as he spoke with the little bear, Guo Mi would have thought he was admiring the scenery.

The salmon glanced at Caesar, stretched out its little paws, nudged Guo Mi, and whispered:
"The male bear tried to break into the cave, but it left in the end. It was Caesar who saved us."

Guo Mi's eyes widened as she listened, her tone rising slightly:

"he?"

The male bear not far away shuddered, its ears twitching even more violently, and sat up straight without making a sound.

The fishbone also honestly stated:

"Yes, Caesar scared the bear away!"

Guo Mi was still not quite convinced and hesitated, saying:

"Is this just a coincidence?"

Bears with a notorious reputation like Caesar would cause most bears to flee at the mere scent of him; it's quite possible that he accidentally scared away that male bear.

The little bear tilted its head, thought for a moment, and hesitated:

"Hmm, that's possible."

The massive figure not far away slowly shrank, its back, which had just straightened, bent down again.

Fishbone shook his head, thinking about the care he and his sister had recently received, and decided to salvage Caesar's image, so he quickly continued:
"But later he..."

The two little bears chatted back and forth, and their wonderful experiences over this period of time were slowly revealed to Guo Mi as they recounted their stories.

When she heard that Caesar had eaten the food she had prepared for the bear cubs, a fierce glint suddenly appeared in Guo Mi's eyes. Then, upon hearing that Caesar was living with the bear cubs and even teaching them how to hunt, she couldn't contain her astonishment and called out to the cubs:

"Etc., etc!"

The little bear stopped talking and looked at her in confusion.

Guo Mi took a deep breath:

"Let me double-check, that male bear sitting over there isn't threatening you, right?" She paused, then added:
"Or perhaps you've mistaken the bear for someone else, and the bear that has been taking care of you is Slok? Think about it carefully, after all, the two brothers do look quite alike."

The two bear cubs looked at each other, both quite helpless.

Caesar's terrible behavior had already deeply ingrained his image in Guo Mi's mind, so it's no wonder that she felt like she was hearing lies when she heard these things.

The little guy cast a sympathetic glance at the male bear not far away.

One of his paws was gripping the ground tightly. At first, only the back of his head could be seen, but now his profile was slightly visible, and his ears were twitching so much they were almost fanning the wind.

A hint of teasing flickered in the little bear's eyes as he honestly told Guo Mi:

"No, he didn't threaten us. He really did lead us through our lives."

Guo Mi couldn't help but glance in Caesar's direction. The male bear was now sitting upright, its ears taut, its head held high, as if it had already received a commendation.

Seeing this, Guo Mi began to believe the little bear's words to some extent, but the impact of what the little bear said was considerable, and she still needed time to process it.

As the bear cub spoke, Caesar straightened his back more and more, and finally even stood up, put down his front paws, stuck out his buttocks, and rubbed his upper body and face against the snow, making "huff huff" panting sounds.

Guo Mi twitched her lips as she listened to the increasingly loud noise around her. The story was coming to an end, and Little Bear began to recount how, under Caesar's command, they prepared to dive down into the ice to hunt seals.

The humming stopped abruptly!

The sound of fish bones continued:
"We thought we had memorized the location, but it was so dark under the ice that we couldn't see anything. Later, we couldn't even tell which way was which. At that time, I panicked because I felt like I couldn't breathe!"

"Thankfully, the salmon stayed by my side the whole time. We didn't lose each other, and she helped me calm down."

"We felt the flow of the seawater and heard the faint sound of the wind, found another gap in the ice, and then successfully climbed up!"

The little guy was quite proud when he said this, raising his head and puffing out his chest, assuring Guo Mi:
"Next time we'll remember the direction, and we'll definitely succeed! Then, Guomi, you'll be able to eat the seal we caught!"

Guo Mi licked each of the bear cubs' heads and said softly:
“You’ve already done so well. I never imagined that you would go through so much while I was asleep. I’m so proud of your growth.”

As for Caesar...

Guo Mi glanced to the side.

The bear, which was just a moment ago so agitated that it seemed to want to dig two holes in the ground, is now lying on the snow with its limbs outstretched and its face buried in the snow, clearly trying to escape.

His every action revealed his guilty conscience.

The little bear probably didn't know what Caesar was thinking when he had them train; he only thought that Caesar wanted them to improve.

But Guo Mi could tell at a glance that he didn't care about the little bear's safety at all, and didn't even have the patience to think about it for a while. He only realized it after the accident happened.

“Guo Mi…”

Guo Mi felt her paws being patted, and she lowered her head to meet the bear's worried eyes.

The little guy has lived with Caesar for a while, and his impression of him has changed drastically. He also worries about him.

Guo Mi smiled at them, then got up and walked towards Caesar.

As the male bear heard the footsteps getting closer, he buried his head even deeper into the snow. Suddenly, he felt a surge of anxiety, realizing that he was becoming increasingly afraid of hearing Guo Mi's cold words.

Perhaps he would rather face the repeated conflicts with Guo Mi than fight against his own kind.

Caesar's heart pounded as he waited anxiously, until he heard Guo Mi's voice from above:

"Thank you for taking care of my little bear."

Thank you all for waiting and for your concern. Now I'd like to tell you about our family's current situation.

Firstly, the matter has been resolved legally, but it is far from satisfactory.

My mother's injury is classified as a minor injury, level 2, which meets the criteria for criminal prosecution. However, the other party's family situation is special. She has one son and two daughters, two of whom are unable to take care of themselves for various reasons. This is why the police have been unable to detain her for a long time.

Her husband and son were well aware of this, so they stayed in other places and refused to come back, hoping to let her evade legal responsibility.

She was only detained by the police after her husband was discovered sneaking home, but she was only detained for one morning before being released.

The reason is that her two daughters are unable to take care of themselves, and her husband firmly stated that he will not stay at home in the future. The police clearly stated that even if she is detained, it is highly likely that she will be released on parole.

In other words, even if she is detained, she can maintain a similar lifestyle to what she has now and return to her home. Her husband then said that he could only pay a small amount of money, and that they had no more. He added that if she was unwilling to pay, they would not care if the person who caused the injury was detained.

The police station, village officials, and even some relatives all came to persuade us to give up on sending her to jail and accept the small amount of compensation.

Under this pressure, my mother was forced to accept mediation and received compensation that was less than half of her medical expenses, and her injuries are still very serious.

We feel powerless and helpless in this situation. We can only hope that the law will continue to improve so that more people will not have to experience this kind of injustice.
