Not knowing how much longer Audiss would eat, and thinking he would be hungry after coming ashore, the Little Polar Bear, who ended up eating his fill, sat beside the whale, licking his paws and mouth, diligently grooming himself.
This was the secret to keeping his fur white.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qixi shifted his butt off the ground and found a flat Rock without dirt before sitting down again.
The soil structure on the Beach seemed to be a mixture of volcanic mud and sand, appearing grayish-brown.
The deep and light gray, dusty colors on other polar bears were from getting dirty on the ground.
It didn't affect their bodies, but it certainly wasn't aesthetically pleasing.
Qiao Qixi was very vain and wouldn't allow himself to become a dusty polar bear.
And the result of his meticulous cleanliness was that he became the whitest and most handsome cub on this Beach.
In the aerial footage, other polar bears were all dusty, only Qiao Qixi and Audiss, who had just come ashore, were white and plump, exceptionally eye-catching.
People started betting how many more days it would take for them to become as sloppy as the other polar bears.
If Qiao Qixi knew about this bet, he would probably sigh lightly: You still don't understand me enough.
No matter how many days passed, he would not allow himself to become a gray fatty.
Similarly, Audiss, who stayed with him, was not allowed to either.
Upon observation, Audiss was much cleaner than other polar bears; he would meticulously clean his fur after every meal to avoid leaving any unpleasant odors.
Additionally, Audiss liked to swim in the sea, and after being washed by the seawater, his fur was always very clean.
After coming ashore and being dried by the sun, his fur was fluffy and smelled of sunshine, without the unpleasant odor of a wild beast.
Meanwhile, some polar bears had matted fur, indicating they hadn't bathed in a long time, and you could smell them from a distance.
Perhaps this is the difference between bears.
It was not easy to find such a large amount of food, so Audiss ate a lot until he couldn't eat anymore, then he picked up Qiao Qixi's little yellow bucket, and left the shore with a few pieces of meat and Qiao Qixi.
They headed to a deeper grassy area to rest.
This did not mean they abandoned the food on the shore; on the contrary, they would stay in the vicinity for a period of time.
The young grass in early summer was very tender and green, with some faint purple flower buds emerging.
The well-fed Little Polar Bear walked with lazy steps, occasionally bending down to sniff the budding flowers, and sometimes being attracted by small insects, appearing so innocent and carefree.
The large Male polar bear who provided him shelter walked steadily ahead, leading the way, and a similar scene unfolded with a Bear Mama and Little Polar Bear who had also come ashore.
Most Bear Mamas carried 2-3 cubs, and their lives were much harder than those of single Male polar bears, requiring constant foraging for food.
One fortunate Bear Mama, foraging on the shore with her two children, also encountered the beached whale, which was a pleasant surprise for them.
Despite the possibility of being attacked by other polar bears, this Bear Mama risked her life to take her two children to share the food.
When food was plentiful, Male polar bears would ignore Little Polar Bears, which allowed the Little Polar Bear to escape danger.
The two brothers followed their Bear Mama, eating the rotten meat she tore off, and finally had a rare full meal.
They were not like Qiao Qixi, who was an only child and had food handed to him; when they encountered food, they would eat as much as they could without their Bear Mama's urging, until their bellies were round like a ball.
Qiao Qixi: Why do you have to praise one and step on the other?
The lucky family of three also planned to stay nearby, and that dry grassy slope was a good choice; from there, they could see what was happening on the shore and also avoid conflicts with other polar bears.
The Bear Mama, who had finally eaten her fill, found a Rock to rest her chin on and fell asleep, as she had been exhausted from foraging for days and could now finally get a good night's sleep.
The gentle breeze of early summer made her very comfortable; this was probably the most comfortable moment she had experienced in days.
The lively and cute Little Polar Bear played nearby, with the grass and flowers almost submerging their small bodies.
Qiao Qixi, on a higher grassy slope, kept his eyes open, secretly observing the family of three below.
To be frank, he wanted to pet the two Little Polar Bears down there.
So cute!
How can there be such adorable creatures as Little Polar Bears in the world? They're simply melting my heart.
Oh, they rolled into a ball.
I can too.
Qiao Qixi, who was forcefully pretending to be underage, felt his heart stir, yearning to roll into a pile with the Little Polar Bears and play human pyramids.
But his parents wouldn't allow it, and the Little Polar Bear’s parents wouldn't allow it either, alas, so he could only give up.
The well-fed Little Polar Bears had too much energy; they not only wrestled and rolled around, but also took great interest in nearby toys.
For example, they would happily pick up a dry branch and play with it.
Darn it, the fun of snatching and grabbing can only be experienced with two or more Little Polar Bears.
If there was only one, like Qiao Qixi, he poked his little yellow bucket, feeling a bit bored.
Why can't polar bears get along harmoniously like the mothers downstairs in a residential complex?
Good question, because Little Polar Bears are targets of attack for adult polar bears.
Even though the Bear Mama was sleeping comfortably, as soon as she sensed another unfamiliar polar bear approaching, she would immediately move her children to another location.
A resting place with a better view would allow her to finish her nap in peace.
Qiao Qixi was also a target for other polar bears, but with Audiss by his side, no short-sighted polar bear would dare to disturb them.
Therefore, they did not have to constantly move their resting place like that Bear Mama.
The Bear Mama, disturbed by the wandering bachelors, moved her children to a pile of Rock.
Qiao Qixi looked into the distance a few times and thought that spot was also good, hoping the Little Polar Bears would get a good sleep.
Then he also got sleepy.
The Little Polar Bear, who would be able to live independently in another year, buried his head in the arms of the large Male polar bear, nudging affectionately, trying to find a comfortable position.
Audiss, who was being nudged, squinted his beautiful eyes, tilted his head, retracted his claws, and rolled around on the grass with the Little Polar Bear, one leg kicked high.
This is a polar bear's recreational activity; rolling on grass or snow brings them joy.
Because the rough ground massages their skin, especially around the neck, rubbing on the ground makes them feel comfortable.
Qiao Qixi lay on Audiss's belly, swaying precariously with the rhythm of Audiss rubbing his back from side to side.
Damn it.
The Little Polar Bear, trying to stabilize himself, suddenly had a moment where his mind was filled with suggestive thoughts.
He felt that he must have been shaken silly, otherwise, how could he misinterpret such a pure and loving scene?
After all, Qiao Qixi believed that the affection between himself and Audiss was absolutely the purest and most pristine emotion in the world.
So Qiao Qixi felt no pressure at all and continued to firmly hug Audiss's neck, letting Audiss nuzzle him.
Audiss, having rubbed himself comfortable, lay on his side, holding his Little Polar Bear tightly, and extended his pink tongue to lick around the Little Polar Bear's eyes.
This is a fragile area prone to illness; only by keeping it clean and dry can illness be prevented.
If the eyes are not clean, they can attract some insects, such as flies.
In summer, one also has to worry about bloodsuckers attaching themselves and reproducing.
Audiss would typically meticulously part Qiao Qixi's fur and sniff him over with his nose; whether it was bloodsuckers or other small insects, none could escape his keen nose.
Qiao Qixi was quite ticklish; every time Audiss tried to poke his armpit, he would clamp his arms tightly to prevent inspection.
It tickles.
This action might be very puzzling to Audiss, as no other polar bear has ticklish spots.
If it were other matters, Audiss might compromise, but on this matter, he was exceptionally firm; he had to perform a full body check before he felt at ease.
All fragile skin areas must be carefully inspected.
This part could be said to be Qiao Qixi's most embarrassing moment, if not the most, because when Audiss inspected, he would also lick some of his indescribable parts.
Like where he pees.
He had protested before, saying he could do it himself, really, but it was useless.
Audiss's care was very domineering; Qiao Qixi had no room to protest at all.
Facing Audiss's comprehensive and meticulous care, Qiao Qixi often felt as if he was Audiss's possession.
After getting used to it, he could only pretend to be a thoughtless polar bear, splaying his legs in the air, playing dead and letting himself be licked.
After all, licking it himself was also, also, also, also a bit hard to do.
Of course, he would not lick Audiss there; that was his bottom line.
Fortunately, Audiss had no intention of asking for his help; Audiss could handle these things perfectly well himself.
One thing Qiao Qixi was very happy to do for Audiss was to scratch places Audiss couldn't reach himself.
For example, his chin and back; helping out when the other was napping would result in very affectionate feedback.
It proved that Audiss greatly appreciated his intentions.
Qiao Qixi, having been thoroughly inspected, was held in Audiss's arms and fell asleep peacefully.
In summer, they would maintain longer sleep times to reduce energy consumption.
The gloomy clouds slowly dispersed during the polar bears' deep sleep, and the tender sunlight shone on the grassy slope, making this coast appear vibrant.
The Little Polar Bear, not wanting the sun to shine directly into his eyes, covered them with his paws, leaving only his dark nose to breathe.
Comfortable sleep alleviated the polar bears' fear of summer.
People who captured the tranquil scenes with drones also enjoyed this small blessing with pleasant moods.
On the grassy slope, the polar bear families seemed to live warmly and happily, while the dusty, wandering bachelors looked somewhat indescribable.
They gathered together because of the piles of food, unwilling to leave, but there was only so much space around, and occasionally, a stretched leg or head would trigger an unavoidable conflict.
Sleeping while hugging was impossible; Male polar bears were not worthy.
Furthermore, they all smelled and were dirty.
Hug.
Typical Male polar bear: You look like a hug.
Therefore, how fortunate Qiao Qixi was to encounter an Audiss of this type, whose temperament, appearance, and demeanor were so different from other polar bears.
If Audiss were as unkempt as those fat ones on the shore, Qiao Qixi would never have approached him voluntarily.
Slowly, the bachelors, made irritable by the sun, gradually quieted down and fell asleep.
On the Beach, other than the sound of the waves, there was silence.
The polar bears' peaceful and comfortable time passed unhurriedly; Qiao Qixi slept very soundly during this nap.
In his memory, those fat ones were fighting before he went to sleep, and when he woke up, those fat ones were still fighting. Don't they need to sleep?
Qiao Qixi groggily got up and glanced towards the shore. Oh, wow, good heavens, it seemed several more fat ones had appeared.
No wonder there was an endless supply of fights and 'What are you looking at?' roars.
Looking at the polar bear family of three on Rock in the distance, they also seemed to be awake, and the not-so-strong Bear Mama was looking around at the commotion on the shore.
She was very nervous.
Before, there were fewer polar bears, and the Bear Mama dared to take her children to eat the whale. Now that there were several more polar bears, she was probably hesitant.
Starving or risking going to eat; this was a difficult choice.
Even Qiao Qixi could see the Bear Mama's hesitation. As for the Little Polar Bears who had just woken up, they sat on Rock, shook their heads, and then continued to play and wrestle with each other, happily.
Qiao Qixi was a little worried they would roll off Rock, even more anxious than the Bear Mama next to them.
Audiss approached the Little Polar Bear from behind, seemingly wanting to know what had captured the Little Polar Bear's attention.
Then he also saw the family of three on Rock, but this did not pique his interest.
In comparison, he preferred to focus his attention on Qiao Qixi.
The fur on his focused face was licked once; it was Audiss, he was awake too.
The Little Polar Bear whimpered a few times; this was his special way of communicating with Audiss, other polar bears wouldn't make such sounds.
To Audiss, this sound meant he was acting spoiled or was hungry.
Audiss thought for a moment, then immediately brought over the little yellow bucket that was nearby; both food and toys were in it, allowing the Little Polar Bear to choose for himself.
Qiao Qixi silently looked at the little yellow:.
Oh, he didn't want to play with toys or was hungry, okay? It was just a pure greeting.
Good afternoon or something.
After all, he didn't even know if it was morning or evening right now.
The sun was so high, so he'd just assume it was noon.
The author has something to say: Wild polar bear: Hug, you look like a hug.
