POLAR BEAR ARC CHAPTER 13

People were surprised to learn from the aerial footage that the plastic bucket wasn't randomly found on the ice floe; it belonged to the young polar bear.

Ah, this...

Everyone was astonished. They never expected that wild polar bears would carry their favorite items, especially during their southern migration.

It was just too cute.

It was remarkable that this young polar bear could remain so lively and cheerful in such a harsh survival environment.

This also indirectly proved that the adult polar bear leading it must be very caring, providing it with great care and protection.

People noticed that the big polar bear hadn't eaten since they first captured footage of the two polar bears.

As the ice floe slowly melted and shrank, the big polar bear remained lying in the center, only occasionally lifting a paw to bat at the playful cub when disturbed.

"It's conserving energy," the professor said. "After all, the ice floe will soon melt, and then it will have to endure a marathon swim of several hundred kilometers, which will exhaust almost all its energy."

"Especially since it has a cub with it," the young researcher discussing with the professor said worriedly. "Can a male polar bear really take a cub ashore as a mother bear would?"

The professor shook his head. "This is probably a first in nature, so it's crucial to track them closely."

Meanwhile, Qiao Qixi belatedly noticed that Otis hadn't gotten up to eat, even after more than ten hours had passed.

Normally, Otis, with his big appetite, would have eaten two or even three meals by now if there was enough food.

But now he wasn't eating.

Initially, Qiao Qixi was quite worried. Was Otis sick?

So he forcibly pried open Otis's eyelids, finding the eyes normal, clear, and full of life, though slightly exasperated, as if he wanted to roll his eyes.

Sorry...

Qiao Qixi ruled out the possibility of Otis being sick and, exhausted, snuggled up next to Otis, pondering why Otis wasn't eating.

As an animal, could Otis be thinking like him, wanting to leave the limited food for his companion?

Ah...

Though he knew he shouldn't project human thoughts onto animals, once he considered this possibility, Qiao Qixi couldn't stop thinking about it, imagining various scenarios that moved him to tears.

Just, how did he get so lucky to receive Otis's selfless care?

In the harsh wilderness, everything was pure and straightforward. There were no interests between animals, so Otis wasn't kind to him for any reward.

Thinking about this, Qiao Qixi sniffled, deciding more than ever that he would work hard to hunt seals in the future to take care of Otis in his old age, repaying his upbringing.

There was still half of the food left, and Qiao Qixi knew he couldn't finish it before the ice floe melted.

After some thought, he tore off a piece of seal meat and brought it to Otis's mouth.

Otis: "..."

Poor Otis had planned to rest, but the energetic cub needed his company too much.

Alright, Otis, who had an endless amount of patience for the cub he was raising, opened his eyes, took the meat from the cub, and then brought it back to the cub's mouth, coaxing him to eat.
