YPTKMWM Chapter 30

Qiao Qixi, who was promoted to a house owner, thought happily that he could probably live for another 20 years. This stone house would become his and Odis’ real estate.

In the future, he could live here for a period of time every summer. 

As long as Odis didn’t separate from him, then this house would be the joint property of the two bears. 

Thinking about it this way, he seemed to have bought a house in the Arctic Circle already at such a young age. 

What was even more amazing was that this house had a seaside view. When he went out, he would be facing the sea. The scenery in the summer should be very good too. 

Amazing, amazing~

However, Qiao Qixi was a little uncertain whether his ability to identify the return route was as accurate as Odis’. 

To be honest, he didn’t even remember the route back to the North Pole. He only vaguely remembered that they stopped at five islands, or maybe six?

“…”

He suddenly realized that he couldn’t do anything, so he inevitably felt a little ashamed. 

However, he didn’t reflect on himself for too long, and soon regained his confidence and trotted to the beach. At least he was still good at catching fish.

Arctic falcons were notorious sneak attackers. They relied on their fast flying speed to often snatch food from the mouths of other animals, such as fish in the hands of polar bears, mice in the mouths of arctic foxes, and even prey in the eyes of wolves. 

Odis, who had a strong aura, was rarely a target that falcons dared to intercept. After all, a strong male polar bear was not to be trifled with. If they weren’t careful, all their feathers would be cleanly plucked out. 

Qiao Qixi, who was small and weak, was different. The only prey he had killed was limited to a few kilograms of sea fish. He didn’t have any murderous aura, so it was expected that the falcons would target the fish in his mouth.

The little polar bear, who was fishing seriously in the sea, didn’t feel the approaching danger at all. He held his breath and snatched a fish up from the water. 

His sharp teeth had already pierced through the fish’s body. He could already taste blood on the tip of his tongue, but he still wanted to give this fish to Odis. 

While the little bear was moving with the fish in his mouth, a falcon flew out of the dark night like an arrow and whizzed past the little bear. 

“Ao!” Qiao Qixi felt a sharp pain on the back of his nose. 

The little bear’s frightened cry reverberated across the surface of the sea, alerting the nearby Odis. The big bear immediately rushed over. 

Qiao Qixi cried out not because of the pain, but mainly because he was frightened. After all, he was afraid of this ghostly and gloomy environment, so it was natural for him to shout in surprise when something unknown suddenly appeared. 

By the time he reacted, he found that the fish in his mouth had already disappeared.

“???”

In other words, the thing that ambushed him wasn’t some supernatural ghost, but just a bird that was trying to steal his food. 

Qiao Qixi heaved a sigh of relief. It was great that there weren’t any ghosts. 

However! The next second, he was furious. He was so angry that his cheeks were puffed up. “Ao! Ao! Ao!” 

Fuck you!

And fuck your uncle!

Did you hear me!?

Qiao Qixi rushed in the direction of the robber and cursed the robber’s eighteen generations of ancestors in the bear language!

Actually, Qiao Qixi was usually very kind to small animals. On weekends, he used to even buy canned food to feed stray cats. 

But now, everyone was a small animal, and he didn’t expect to be taken advantage of by the other, so why?

His fish…

Odis spent twenty to thirty seconds swimming anxiously from a distance to the little bear’s side. When he arrived at the scene, he immediately saw the little bear that he was worried about. The little bear was floating on the surface of the water. 

This scene scared Odis. 

Well, in fact, Qiao Qixi just couldn’t control his body. He floated on the surface of the sea and drifted with the waves. 

His heart was full of thoughts about the fish that he had caught after a long time. It should’ve been eaten by Odis. 

“Ao.” He was so angry. 

The beating from the fierce competition of the animal kingdom came too suddenly.

Odis finally reacted and hugged the little bear in his arms. He used his sensitive nose to carefully search for the location of the injury on the other party’s body. His warm tongue kept licking the little bear’s open mouth that was huffing due to anger. 

There was still residual seafish blood there which Odis was very familiar with.

After searching carefully for a long time, Odis finally found the little bear’s wound. It was a scratch on the back of the nose. He could smell a little bit of blood on it. 

The wound wasn’t big. Even if there was no aftercare, it would probably be fine after two days. 

If it was calculated in a human’s unit of measure, the scratch was less than a centimeter in length. However, Odis still paid special attention to it. 

He kept licking the little bear’s wound, and his whole body emitted a distressed aura as well as anger at the perpetrator. The two emotions were intertwined. 

To describe it simply, he was furious and anxious. 

If that falcon had been there, Odis would have done everything possible to tear the falcon to shreds. 

Then, he would pluck its feathers and eat its meat. 

Qiao Qixi wasn’t that vicious. He was merely angry that someone had stolen his food, but he didn’t really want to see blood. 

Odis sharp emotions were so strong that even Qiao Qixi, who was still sad, could feel it. After he pulled his attention back to reality, the little bear saw Odis’ angry expression. 

Well, it wasn’t that polar bears were expressionless, but they were usually just too calm.

Wait, but that wasn’t the point. 

The point was that Odis was now angry too. It didn’t seem worth it for a fish. Wasn’t it just a small problem?

Qiao Qixi immediately hugged the little friend who seemed to be on the verge of outrage and rubbed their faces together. 

Don’t, it’s just a fish. There’s no need to be angry!

Odis, your health is more important. Don’t be angry. Mwah! (Kissing sound)

Realizing that Odis cared more about him than himself, Qiao Qixi immediately put his emotions behind him and hugged the other bear for a lick. What he didn’t know was that Odis wasn’t angry because of the fish, but because the falcon had scratched him. 

Even if the wound was less than a centimeter. 

But the little bear was bleeding. 

At this time, Qiao Qixi had already forgotten about the injury on the back of his nose. He only had Odis in his heart. 

He hoped that Odis would be in a good mood. 

They had been together for a long time. The little polar bear knew how to please Odis. 

After a round of kissing and hugging, Odis’ emotions slowly stabilized, and he no longer thought about the falcon that had hurt Qiao Qixi. 

The big bear lowered his head and licked the little bear’s wounds again in a very loving manner. 

Polar bears also felt panic and fear. Just now, the little bear had been floating lifelessly on the surface of the sea, which undoubtedly made Odis feel panic and fear. 

Now that the other party had become lively again, it also calmed his emotions. 

Ah, it was good that the little bear was okay. 

Odis’ state just now was really scary. Although the sharp anger wasn’t directed at him, the little bear, who had been close by, still felt his hair stand on end. 

He didn’t give up and still wanted to catch another fish for Odis, so he plunged back into the sea. Just then, the salty seawater splashed on the wound on the back of his nose. There was a sharp pain, and he remembered that he had been gloriously wounded in the short confrontation earlier. 

Qiao Qixi immediately scolded the other party’s eight generations of ancestors again. 

He tried to swim to the distant sea where the fish were gathered, but a force lifted him to the water’s surface, then hugged him and swam back to the shore domineeringly. 

The little bear’s plan for hunting was interrupted, and at the same time, the other party’s intentions were translated from this forced intervention: ‘Don’t go into the sea if you’re injured. Go back and rest. I’ll take care of you.’

Hey, can you not be so overbearing?

We’re just two polar bears.

And we’re both male.

“…”

Damn it, the sea breeze made his eyes feel strange. 

But, how could Odis be so good!

It was really puzzling.

Odis sent the little bear back to the door of their new home, reluctantly rubbed against him twice, then turned around and went back to the beach.

Strange words appeared in the little bear’s mind: ‘If I catch fish with both hands, I can’t hug you. If I hug you, I can’t go into the sea to catch fish to feed you.’

Staring at Odis’ back that gradually disappeared into the sea, Qiao Qixi blinked. 

At this moment, a different emotion arose in his heart. It was sour and astringent, with a little bit of shock. 

When Qiao Qixi had been human, he would cry every time he watched animal-themed movies. He was rarely moved when he watched familial and romantic movies. Maybe it was because the feelings of animals always carried the spirit of dedication and sacrifice. 

Because of protecting their person, no matter the thousands of times anywhere and anytime at all, there was no hesitation nor turning their back. 

And honesty. 

The emotions of animals never lie, and their likes and dislikes were obvious at a glance. 

‘Ah,’ The little bear thought as he recalled how he had spent the past few months in the wild. He sniffled and thought to himself, ‘Odis must have fallen in love with this charming little polar bear.’

Otherwise?

The little bear stood outside the house while immersed in his emotions for a while, letting the sea breeze dry some of his hair. And then he entered the house happily. 

Why did he have to stand outside in the cold when he had a house?

He really didn’t understand how those guys lacking a house lived. 

Qiao Qixi didn’t stay in the house for long before Odis came back. He was like a huge shadow in the night, but he didn’t make the little bear feel the slightest bit afraid. 

Because the other party had a fat sea fish in his mouth and immediately brought it over to feed him.

Of course, it was impossible to refuse. There was something wrong with one’s mind if one didn’t take the initiative to eat. 

However, the little polar bear only ate the bottom part of the fish. The head and the remaining end of the fish body were spat on the ground without a second glance.

Odis licked the little bear’s mouth like usual, and his eyes flickered back and forth between the little bear and the fish, full of urging. 

However, Qiao Qixi just wouldn’t eat it. 

Odis blinked and looked around blankly. It was obvious that the big bear couldn’t do anything to this picky little bear. 

In the end, the big bear laid down and ate the rest of the fish head and tail. 

Qiao Qixi leaned over and touched Odis. Okay, don’t go hunting anymore. 

I’m tired, let’s go to sleep. 

In order to hold down the other owner of the house, the little polar bear snuggled into Odis’ arms. 

Then he pretended to be asleep. 

Odis couldn’t possibly know that the little bear was tricking him. 

So he thought that the little bear was really going to sleep and dismissed the idea of going out to hunt again. 

On the first night of moving into their new house, the two polar bears slept exceptionally well. 

Other than the faint wind leaking from a few cracks that weren’t blocked in the house, everything else was fine. 

Secret message T-T please read at inuekohouse.wordpress.com

On a cold autumn night, the biting cold wind blew across the arctic continent. 

It was true that polar bears weren’t afraid of the cold, but the power of the chilly wind was sometimes more terrible than just the cold. 

Staying in the house was indeed more safe and comfortable. 

When they woke up, they heard a whining sound outside, like the wind crying. 

A strong wind had arrived. 

It could pass quickly, or it could last for a while. The details were only known by humans. 

After becoming a polar bear, this information could no longer be obtained from the internet. 

Predicting the weather now depended on intuition, sixth sense, and a sensitive nose. 

Given that Qiao Qixi was a unqualified polar bear, he would probably not have these advantages. 

It wasn’t a problem of whether he was working hard or not. 

Finding that he had been unaware of the incoming strong winds, the little polar bear sighed. There had never been a moment when he felt that being an animal was easy. 

Especially animals without houses. 

Thanks to Odis, they had set up a warm house before the wind raged. 

Before the strong wind passed, Odis would not go out. He would quietly stay in the house, either sleeping, licking Qiao Qixi, or playing with Qiao Qixi. 

In regards to the way that they played, it was quite childish of course. 

A day of bad weather for hunting was a good time to work hard. 

Due to the limited space in the house, the fierce fighting turned into cheap teasing. 

For example, while Odis was yawning, the little bear stuffed his paw into the big bear’s mouth.

Odis: “…” 

After being stunned for a moment, he began to lick the coquettish little bear’s paw. 

As for another example, the little bear climbed onto Odis’ back and used his hundred pounds of weight to flatten the other party. 

Odis: “…” 

This weight was no burden to him, and he didn’t find the little bear’s behavior strange. 

A cub usually liked to hang onto his mother’s back and be carried by his mother. Maybe the little bear just recalled these memories. 

Odis’ temper was too good. 

Otherwise, how else could it be explained why Qiao Qixi was so unbearably idle and behaving cheaply? It was undoubtedly because he didn’t do any work. 

In the end, he sat on Odis’ head with his butt, thinking that this time the other bear would fail to keep his patience, right?

Qiao Qixi’s intuition was very accurate. If only he used this intuition in the right way, he wouldn’t still just be a unqualified rookie bear. 

Odis turned his head and bit the little bear’s chubby leg, pulled him off his head, and then pressed the cub under his chest and bit lightly. 

The big bear’s teeth continuously gnawed on the little bear’s stomach, and there was a ticklish feeling. 

Sorry, that was Qiao Qixi’s ticklish spot. 

He suddenly wriggled his bear body and tried to get away from Odis’ punishment. 

As a boring windy day, they were both equally bored. 

As the saying went, there were no waves without wind. The wind and waves were also big, and the sound of surging waves was endless. 

The little bear was so afraid that his new house would be flooded. Fortunately, the house was some distance away from the shore, and the waves couldn’t reach here. 

After a few days, the little bear had already gotten used to the new experience in his new house. 

Apart from being a bit noisy, the seaside house had no other problems. 

Human weather stations had already detected that the wind in parts of the arctic regions was stronger these days. 

The people engaged in conservation work were naturally always paying attention to the climate change in the arctic and were worried about the weather. 

This time, the strong wind covered a wide area, and many animals would be affected. 

Odis and Alexander also lived in this area, and it was unknown how they would survive. 

In this kind of weather, all the drones had been withdrawn, leaving only the land observation cameras. 

However, it was impossible to use land cameras to observe the lives of polar bears. They were very destructive, and once they found a moving camera, the camera would definitely be damaged. 

: The wind is very strong. Praying for the little animals in the arctic region. 

: Actually, their instincts are more sensitive than weather stations. It would be good if they could find a place to hide. 

: Have you forgotten? Last year, during the strong wind period, they filmed a very stubborn polar bear who directly laid on the bare ground and hugged his head with his paws. 

: Haha, sorry, I directly thought of Odis. 

: This stubborn polar bear is very cute. 

: Their weight cannot be blown away by the wind, so they can be willful. 

: It’s not a problem for a single polar bear to be stubborn, but Odis took the little bear with him. With how much he spoils the little bear, I don’t think it’s possible that he wouldn’t do anything. 

: They must’ve found a place to hide. 

: I’m a staff member at the rescue station. Monitoring Odis’ and Alexander’s location showed that they have been stationary for many days. They are indeed hiding out. 

After a few days, the wind weakened, and the drones were sent out again. As expected, they filmed… two polar bears nesting in a stone cave by the seaside. 

How comfortable. 

“What a pair of big smart guys.” The person who was sorting the data laughed. “I was worried for nothing.” 

“Hey, look carefully…” The colleague pointed at a part of the stone house that had artificial traces. “This stone is a different color. It must’ve been deliberately placed there to block the gaps between the other stones.” 

“Who did this?” In any case, it couldn’t be these two polar bears. Could it be the Inuit (group of native people) who wandered around the arctic region?

“Of course, it can’t be the polar bears.” The other person laughed. “Male polar bears don’t build nests. Only female polar bears who are ready to breed will build nests. If a male polar bear helps a female polar bear build a nest, then he must be the best father on the continent.” 

“That’s true.” The person who was talking to him nodded. 

Male polar bears were all scumbags. 

During the breeding season, they would mate with multiple female polar bears and then leave without any hesitation after mating. 

However, this was just the polar bear’s nature, and it seemed that they couldn’t be called scumbags.

After the strong wind came and went, the sea returned to calmness. 

The animals came out to look for food after hiding for several days. They found that the strong wind had blown away the fog on land and sea.  

Winter was coming, and the weather was getting colder, almost reaching the perfect conditions for snow. 

Qiao Qixi woke up and couldn’t wait to walk out of the house to breathe in the fresh air. 

At the same time, he stretched his body. 

He was about to turn around and call out to Odis to also come out and stretch his body, but then he realized that Odis had followed him out. 

Although he was a little sleepy, the big bear still followed the little bear closely despite the fact that as long as the little bear didn’t get up, he could probably sleep for another 300 rounds. 

They went to the sea to catch fish together. 

Qiao Qixi was a self-aware person. On one hand, he felt that Odis was really pitiful. Obviously, he could sleep in the nest without eating or drinking, but he couldn’t be lazy because he had to raise a cub. 

On the other hand, he felt that *dry rice was not fragrant.

_{*一边又觉得干饭它不香吗 (Thanks to the lovely Risu in the comments to also help clarify, but we’re pretty sure it means something about not relying on others because it will make you feel uncomfortable if you can do it yourself.)}

If he could move, why did he have to lie down all the time?

Get out of the comfort zone, bro. 

The polar bear was hungry, so the thief who liked to steal must be hungry too. 

This time, Qiao Qixi was especially careful. Once he caught a fish, he was observant and alert. 

He finally fulfilled his goal. Before Odis was fully awake, Qiao Qixi fed him a fish that he had caught.

Ahhh, the feeling of taking care of Odis was wonderful. 

He was very happy. 

Odis had just woken up from a deep sleep that lasted a few days, so he was still a little out of it. That is, until a fish was fed into his mouth, and he subconsciously ate it.

Eating this food was indeed delicious. 

Not to mention that it was a fish fed by the little bear. 

At this point, the lazy behemoth was completely awake. His dark eyes contained an indescribable love for his little bear.
