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

Chapter 41: High-level bear training often only requires simple methods.
Ever since Caesar provoked the two bear cubs, Gomi's patience with him has practically run out.

She even felt that it was because she had suppressed her anger and indulged Caesar the day he stole the fish that he went further and harassed the little bear.

Having finally enjoyed Guo Mi's fish-catching service for a short time, Caesar naively thought that as long as he didn't get close to the little bear, he could do whatever he wanted.

As a result, he immediately got slashed several times by Guo Mi!
The male bear, clutching his nose which had already lost all feeling, voiced his accusations and dissatisfaction with Guo Mi's violent behavior.

Fully expecting Guo Mi to realize her mistake, Guo Mi merely sneered and said sarcastically:
"Some bears achieve their goals through threats and even shamelessly scare cubs. They are domineering and bully the weak. I hate bears like that the most!"

Caesar froze, then awkwardly lowered his hand from his nose.

Guo Mi rolled her eyes at him.

These past two nights, Caesar has been following Gomi back to the cave.

Guo Mi slept in the cave with the two bear cubs, while he guarded the entrance. His snoring kept the two bear cubs awake for two days, and they were only able to fall asleep on the third day.

Since he was going to stick around like a leech anyway, Guo Mi stopped changing her sleeping spot every day like before and just found the most comfortable one.

Caesar initially had the wild idea of ​​squeezing into the hole, and even secretly returned before Guo Mi.

When Guo Mi returned to the cave with the two bear cubs, the huge polar bear had already taken over the entire cave, filling it completely. There was no room left for Guo Mi and the bear cubs to sleep.
Even after being driven out of the cave by Gomi, Caesar was still unwilling to give up and wanted Gomi to dig the cave bigger so he could sleep in it.

Guo Mi's response was to show her sharp claws!
Despite his relentless efforts, Master Xiong eventually calmed down and obediently slept at the cave entrance.

During the day, Caesar would follow her to the lake to watch Guo Mi photograph fish, and then sit beside her to try again, but he never succeeded.

Guo Mi originally thought he would give up soon.

Surprisingly, the male bear persevered!
When he failed, he would slap the water or roll around on the ground in frustration. After a while, he would sit up and continue. His perseverance made Guo Mi take notice.

At other times, he would occasionally endure Guo Mi's claws and then sneakily eat a couple of fish.

If Guo Mi gets angry, he will jump into the lake to chase the fish, and after a lot of effort, he will catch the fish again, calling it "compensation".

In fact, every time he caught fish, the fish in the lake would be scared away, and Guo Mi would go a long time without catching any.

After several such incidents, Guo Mi simply resorted to brutally beating him with her claws. After the beating, she ordered him to sit obediently by the lake and not to go into the water.

However, Caesar was sometimes absent.

Caesar would sneak away for short periods of time, but only for an afternoon at most. When he returned, he looked satisfied, walked with a swaying gait, and occasionally licked his lips.

Guo Mi guessed that he had probably gone hunting somewhere for a snack.

The fish she caught are barely enough to feed herself and the two bear cubs. How could someone as big as Caesar possibly survive on just those two stolen fish?

That day, Caesar couldn't resist his craving and secretly caught two of Guo Mi's fish to have a treat. But as soon as he pulled the fish over, Guo Mi discovered him and gave him a beating!
Caesar was beaten so badly he couldn't open his eyes. He sat there, desperately trying to shrink his neck back, his flat face almost squeezing into a round one!
After being beaten, he yelled at Guo Mi:

"You hit me so hard when I hadn't even eaten anything!"

Guo Mi glared at him, straightened up, and slapped him again with her paw:

"If I hadn't seen you, wouldn't you have eaten it?!"

Caesar disagreed with this:
"I didn't even get to eat anything and you're making me get beaten up? That's not fair!"

He rolled on the ground:

"That's unfair! You're being unreasonable!"

Guo Mi glanced at him sideways.

For this kind of "cheeky" bear, simply suppressing him is likely to backfire. Oh well, considering he hasn't caused any other trouble these past two days except for this fish-stealing incident.

Guo Mi turned and rummaged through the pile of fish, picking out the smallest one and pushing it in front of Caesar:
"Eat up." Caesar's tantrum abruptly stopped, and he looked up at Guo Mi with a flattered expression.

"Is it true?"

Guo Mi raised her head and looked down at him condescendingly:
"real."

Caesar was overjoyed and quickly bit into the fish, but stopped just as he was about to eat it, and asked Guo Mi for confirmation:
"You really want me to eat this?"

Guo Mi's lips twitched twice, but she still answered:
“You weren’t complaining about it being unfair, so I really gave you some to eat.”

Caesar finally felt relieved and was about to enjoy the fish when he realized it was the first time Guo Mi had ever given him fish so readily, and it would be a shame to just eat it so casually.

The bear immediately became serious and cautious, carefully dissecting the small fish with his claws and teeth, separating it into the head, belly, tail, and back...

Then he tasted it piece by piece, even stuffing the fish fins, which he hated the most, into his mouth. He swallowed even the bone fragments, leaving nothing behind.

Guo Mi sat beside him watching him tinker, a string of words flashing through her mind:
She's so easy to coax...

That's good too. Give him a little reward for every slap, and give him some benefit every time he's on the verge of collapse, so as to avoid pushing him to the bottom and causing a rebound.

Guo Mi didn't want to see Caesar reveal his true colors and threaten her that day at all.

The male bear on the other side meticulously and roughly devoured the entire fish, then licked its lips with lingering satisfaction.

This fish is delicious, hehe, even better than the one he stole.

Caesar sized up Guo Mi, noticing she seemed to be in a good mood, and grinned foolishly along with her. In his excitement, he decided to show off and stepped forward, saying:
"You don't need to catch fish today!"

Guo Mi turned to look at him, her calm eyes conveying only one meaning:
"Don't make trouble."

Caesar was immediately displeased by her gaze, returned it with a "don't underestimate me" look, and very "bravely" pushed himself up on his front paws, shouting:
"I'm going to catch fish today!"

Guo Mi immediately started to feel a headache coming on, but patiently said:
"Stop fooling around, go sit over there and play!"

Caesar was immediately displeased when he saw that she didn't believe him:

"You don't believe me?! I'm a master hunter, catching fish is nothing to me..."

The stubborn male bear is the best at testing a bear's patience. Guo Mi squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth:

"You, don't, force, me, to, slap, you, when, you, are, happiest, at, your, time."

Caesar immediately faltered, his momentum vanished, but he didn't give up in the end:
"I think I can..."

Guo Mi remained expressionless.

"You can not."

Caesar sat down sheepishly, but after a while he couldn't help but look up again:

Can I go into the water?

Guo Mi is cold-blooded and ruthless:

"No."

Caesar rolled on the ground:
"But it's so hot! I want to go swimming!"

Guo Mi paused, then turned to look at him:

"hot?"
