Why Do All the Beasts Want Me?

Chapter 22

The picky Little Polar Bear should be grateful that polar bears don't have the communicative echolocation system of Killer Whales and dolphins; otherwise, every 'I don't want to eat fatty meat' that he was grumbling internally would spread throughout the Arctic, and he'd become famous.

Qiao Qixi, of course, knew the benefits of eating more fatty meat, so he hoped Audiss would eat more and not just give it all to the little one; he also needed to replenish his fat.

Currently, Audiss was still the backbone of this family, and this food distribution was perfectly fine.

Oh, a family of bears doesn't speak two languages, if you're brothers, swallow this fatty meat—the Little Polar Bear carried the fatty meat he didn't like to Audiss's mouth and force-fed him.

Only human bellies on this Earth would harbor ill intentions; the polar bears of the Arctic are as pure as a blank sheet of paper, so how could they think ill of the Little Polar Bear's actions?

What Audiss felt was simple: the Little Polar Bear was giving him the good meat to eat.

After repeated pushing and yielding, Audiss finally ate the fatty meat Qiao Qixi fed him; the rich fat tasted excellent to him. After enjoying it, he licked his mouth, and Audiss gazed at Qiao Qixi with deep, focused eyes. His beautiful big eyes seemed to speak, sparkling with a fragmented galaxy that intoxicated Qiao Qixi.

Audiss's handsomeness was undeniable, and Qiao Qixi admired him. Seeing this, he also narrowed his eyes and smiled back.

There was another reason for his happiness: aha, all the fatty meat had been quietly fed to Audiss, and he really liked the remaining lean meat.

Gradually, Audiss also seemed to realize that, amidst the Little Polar Bear's eagerness and smiles, he had inadvertently eaten all the limited fat.

The Little Polar Bear could only eat the lean meat, which was inferior in texture and nutrition. He rubbed his uninjured side of Audiss's face, feeling quite annoyed.

Qiao Qixi sighed while munching on the meat. It wasn't him talking, but Audiss was truly childish; he had to be clingy for three thousand times just to eat. Sigh.

The happy Little Polar Bear was already eating meat, while Little Polar Bears from ordinary polar bear families were still waiting on the shore for their Bear Mama to return from hunting.

The smell of blood nearby seemed to make the little female bear even hungrier, otherwise she wouldn't have overcome her fear of Audiss and instinctively approached to observe.

Qiao Qixi watched the little one crawling over step by step, and his heart softened, as if he could already hear the other party gulping.

Such a small bear cub, compared to Qiao Qixi's size, was undoubtedly emaciated from hunger.

Only its eyes were still so big and bright; it was a cute little creature.

Would its approach cause Audiss to resist?

At this moment, Qiao Qixi was extremely worried. He had already decided that if Audiss showed any sign of eating the Little Polar Bear, he would bravely stand out, sacrifice himself, and rescue the Little Polar Bear.

Fortunately, Audiss's attitude towards the Little Polar Bear seemed acceptable.

He just lifted his eyelids to glance at it, without getting angry or anything.

Qiao Qixi was not surprised by this outcome; he seemed to have anticipated it.

If Audiss disliked the Little Polar Bear, they wouldn't have traveled together. Audiss, being domineering and fierce, wouldn't allow a strange polar bear to share his hunting grounds.

Since the other party could move around under Audiss's nose, hmm, Qiao Qixi boldly believed that Audiss had a good impression of this Bear Mama and cub, and at least wouldn't harm them.

The two bears ate the remaining scraps of skin and meat, feeling full and content. Qiao Qixi licked his paws, thinking, 'Do I dare to do something big, like feeding the bear cub?'

He dared.

No, he didn't dare.

The Bear Mama looked so fierce. It wasn't Qiao Qixi being a gossip and talking behind the bear's back, but he felt that the Little Polar Bear of this Bear Mama was too pitiful.

To be fair, Qiao Qixi had clearly and truly seen all along the way that this mother was not even half as doting on her cub as the male Audiss.

Three points, at most.

In a word, the Little Polar Bear was so pitiful.

Qiao Qixi pondered for a long time, and finally, unable to bear it, he resolutely used the little yellow bucket to collect the leftover scraps of skin and meat from himself and Audiss and gave them to the Little Polar Bear next door.

The clever Little Polar Bear next door hid when he saw Qiao Qixi coming.

He came out to eat the meat only after Qiao Qixi left.

The way he wolfed it down, one could tell he had been hungry for days, without even stopping.

Speaking of Qiao Qixi's generous act of giving meat, he was quite worried that Audiss would have an overreaction, so he subtly used his 'tall' body to block Audiss.

If Audiss got angry, he… he would just act spoiled.

The other party was still a child, the future flower of the polar bear world. Besides, saving a bear's life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Bears should do more good deeds in life; maybe they can be reborn into a good life in the next one?

Qiao Qixi leaned against Audiss, who was cleaning his paws, and slyly hugged the other's big leg, using his several hundred pounds of body to act as a stumbling block at any time.

He did think this way: in his next life, he shouldn't be a polar bear anymore. Being a tree by the roadside or a small animal in a Zoo would be good.

Small animals in slaughterhouses are out of the question.

And he couldn't be a human either.

Qiao Qixi, with the unique laziness and drowsiness after a full meal, rubbed against Audiss, thinking, "Dear Audiss, let me tell you, being a human is very, very tiring. If you can choose, definitely don't be a human."

Oh dear, going to kindergarten at three, studying for decades, taking civil service exams, buying cars and houses, marrying a wife—not one of these can go wrong, it's even more tiring than being a polar bear…

As he thought, Qiao Qixi tilted his head and fell asleep.

The Little Polar Bear hugging the big leg, his soft body slid down. Audiss timely stretched out his arm to scoop him up, then naturally lay down, hugged the Little Polar Bear, and licked his left cheek, all in one smooth motion.

At this moment, the Bear Mama upstream also started her business.

She carried her prey to the shore downstream, found her child, and discovered that the child had already eaten the meat shared by the kind bear.

Such a rare situation undoubtedly made the Bear Mama a bit puzzled, but she didn't think much of it, as the memory of Audiss still lingered on her.

Sharing food only exists between parent and child.

So the Bear Mama never understood why the Male polar bear she gave birth to had given birth to a Little Polar Bear.

Nevertheless, she accepted this fact.

Crouching down, tearing open the prey's belly, this female polar bear habitually ate the fat, which was her natural instinct.

Because she must maintain sufficient nutrition and energy, otherwise she cannot survive, and the Little Polar Bear cannot survive either.

Qiao Qixi was right, the Bear Mama does not spoil the Little Polar Bear. Usually, when the Little Polar Bear is about one year old, she will let him tear at prey himself, learning to hunt and fight.

In short, the Bear Mama will, within a limited time, teach the Little Polar Bear various survival skills, and then drive them away.

This proves that maternal instinct has an expiration date.

The Bear Mama's love for the Little Polar Bear will slowly fade with time.

This is a natural instinct written into their genes.

The Bear Mama, having eaten about seventy percent full, looked up at the shade of the trees nearby. That was one of her previous litter of children, now a strong and mighty adult bear.

This wasn't the point. The point was the Little Polar Bear in the other's arms. Judging by its build, it must be over two years old, strictly speaking, already at the age of leaving the nest.

The bewildered Bear Mama was probably thinking, 'He's quite big, why is he still so clingy?'

She also wondered when Audiss would drive him away.

The favored Little Polar Bear, in his sleep, suddenly felt a chill on his head.

So he quickly turned his head and buried it deeply into Audiss's arms.

Having been hungry and tired for many days, now finally full, they needed a long, beautiful sleep to make up for the mental and physical depletion.

Under suitable conditions, polar bears, like humans, need more than seven or eight hours of sleep per day.

In a comfortable environment, and no longer worrying about food, the polar bears relaxed their bodies and minds, falling into a sound sleep.

The bleak summer situation of Arctic animals has been filling forums these days, with each update being shocking.

Even if protection agencies have been working very hard and tirelessly, some accidents still occur.

The non-natural reduction in the number of polar bears is unavoidable. People really want to say they have done their best, but they truly lack the confidence to say this with a clear conscience.

What should be done, what could be done, is still not done well.

People's environmental awareness is still too weak.

Raising the awareness of 7 billion people about the natural environment is still a vast project.

Audiss's family and new neighbors

The user who frequently posts about Audiss and Alexander uploaded a very heartwarming picture.

The polar bears, sleeping in pairs, maintained a peaceful distance from each other, becoming true neighbors at their new permanent location.

This further solidified the speculation that they have a parent-child relationship.

: Not bad, not bad. The long-traveling polar bears have finally found a suitable bay for hunting. Now they can rest assured and fatten up.

: Audiss has finally found a place to settle down! Alexander has gotten thin from hunger, manual funny.

: New neighbors! Does this indirectly indicate that Audiss and Alexander are truly friendly? They would actually accept other polar bears sharing their hunting grounds.

: That Bear Mama also has a cub. It doesn't make sense to say it's opposite-s*x attraction. It can only be said that Audiss is truly an unusual bear. Oh ha ha ha, I really want to give him a 'Good Bear' card!

: Fellow netizens, don't guess wildly. The original poster said they might be a parent-child relationship. Besides, isn't our Audiss gay?

: Audiss: Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors.

: He's just a rare single father, how did you guys spread rumors that he's gay? Seriously.

: Just want to ask Audiss, isn't it hot hugging a little furnace on such a hot day?

: Just want to ask Alexander, aren't you ashamed to still be hugging your parent to sleep at such a big size?

: Oh my god, your focus is all skewed to Siberia! Am I the only one happy for Alexander? He finally has a little friend!

: The commenter above is thinking too much. Little Polar Bears born from different mothers can't possibly play together.

: My focus is also very skewed. By the way, how is the seniority calculated? If that Bear Mama is really Audiss's mother, does our Alexander have to call that Little Polar Bear 'uncle' or 'auntie'?

: Alas, I always have to explain this. Alexander is Audiss's adopted brother, not his son, okay?

: Yes, they are not blood-related. Besides needing to show respect to Audiss, Alexander doesn't need to pay attention to any other polar bear in the Arctic. Uncle or auntie, there's no need.

: The funniest joke I've heard this year: Alexander respects Audiss, hahahaha. It's already good if the mischievous and cunning Alexander doesn't bother Audiss.

: I feel Alexander has super good luck and charisma. It's impossible for him to be hungry; haha, even if it wasn't Audiss, other big shots would dote on him and spoil him.

: The commenter above, be careful of Audiss chasing you down. Alexander can only be his.

: Yes, yes, I want to take a sack to steal Alexander. I wonder what color sack Alexander likes?

: Let Audiss ask for you, and by the way, he'll twist your head off.

The netizens on the forum analyzed it very correctly: these four lucky polar bears would settle down safely on the shore, making it their temporary summer home.

Imagine, a bay frequented by White Whales, with tree shade on the shore for coolness—it's undoubtedly an ideal summer retreat.

The polar bear Mama can also teach the Little Polar Bear here to practice hunting White Whales, as this is an urgent matter.

Time waits for no bear; every Bear Mama urgently hopes her cubs will grow up quickly.

This way, when they leave the nest, the chances of the children dying prematurely will be reduced.

Even human recorded data shows that in this part of the Arctic, no parent spoils their child like Audiss.
