You Plan To Kill Me With Meng? - Chapter 44.2
Not feeding but exerting energy continuously at the same time showed results after a week.
Though Qiao Qixi and Odis have lost weight, they have become much closer to each other during this period. Occasionally, they go out for a walk and eat snow to hydrate themselves.
Although the amount of exercise in the cave was not low, Qiao Qixi liked to take walks and enjoy the scenery around the mountain.
One has to admire Odis’s choice of surrounding environment.
Well, this remark was not from Qiao Qixi but from the photographer who was following them. Due to harsh environmental conditions this season, the research team could not capture much data this year. The only clear footage was still Odis blocking most of Alexander’s body.
However, it could be seen from Odis’s behaviour that they did engage in a real union this snow.
What’s particularly interesting is that when researchers compared Odis and Alexander with another male and female polar bear pair on another mountain during the same period, they found their states to be quite different.
There was understanding and cooperation between Odis and Alexander. One was gentle and the other trusts and relies. They don’t need semi-forced or violent means to complete their union.
Their affection for each other could be felt from across the screen. Truly, as some experienced colleagues said, this pair makes people blush and their hearts race.
Whereas the other pair, as a chance marriage, the male polar bear was extremely rude and very fierce in order to achieve his goal.
It’s eyebrow-raising.
During the process, the female polar bear is determined to be in pain, willingly enduring for the sake of bearing offspring.
“By the way, it has always been Odis initiating,” a researcher raised a question, “Can Alexander also feel pleasure from it?”
“Yes, he can.”
Researches concluded this after a rigorous analysis of the polar bears’ anatomy. In fact, many animals are the same; they don’t obtain release solely by a specific stimulus. The mates of animals may not possess the natural ability to initiate or engage in sexual activities in a way that is satisfying for both parties. This can lead to situations where animals may not only find the process enjoyable, in some cases, it might even be painful to endure.
Isn’t it the same among humans?
Not every couple has a harmonious intimate life, majority still remain unsatisfied.
When Qiao Qixi was a human, he never talked about this, and he would also refrain from comparing humans with Odis in this matter.
Haha.
As for a serious response, he admits that being intimate with Odis was indeed satisfying.
Well, that’s the end of the topic.
Time passes day after day. Last year, during this time, Qiao Qixi was thinking about quickly going down the mountain to eat seals. He couldn’t understand at all why Odis wanted to stay on the mountain-top.
This year, he finally understands; he doesn’t have this urgent desire to descend and eat seals. He only wants to be with Odis here, tirelessly, living in a dreamlike state. The time they spent here together passed in the blink of an eye and yet exceeded every past years’.
Qiao Qixi couldn’t help but think that Odis is truly extraordinary. In the first year, he only stayed for about ten days and then agreed to descend the mountain.
How much willpower must he have had.
At this point, Qiao Qixi no longer doubted whether Odis was enthusiastic or not; such thoughts were absurd.
There is a need to doubt.
After a month of carefree living, Odis looked at his much thinner partner, bit his ear with a worried look.
His gentle eyes seemed to say, “Want to eat seals?”
This year, it isn’t Qiao Qixi that has been coaxing Odis to descend the mountain. Instead, it is Odis who feels it’s enough.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue staying here with Qiao Qixi but it was rooted in his mind that Qiao Qixi should eat. Odis’s memories of caring for the cub temporarily overshadowed his desire for mating.
Qiao Qixi didn’t think that one day, he’d experience being urged to descend the mountain by Odis. This and Odis’s eyes on him, waiting from a distance made him even more embarrassed.
Alright, if it’s time to go, then go. It’s not like anyone wants to linger here and not go down.
Qiao Qixi quickly got up from the cozy nest, found the long-forgotten small bucket, and praised it for enduring the winter.
Well done, Xiao Huang.
Then, he followed after his gentle and rational boyfriend down the mountain.
The sun had already risen by now. They had spent so much time forgetting the transitions between dawn and dusk.
It was quite refreshing to feel the sun shine on them now.
Returning to a daily routine, Qiao Qixi realized that he might have become very weak now, even finding it difficult to descend the mountain. Although, descending is indeed more difficult than climbing the snow-covered mountain due to its terrain.
Hearing the insistent humming from behind where Qiao Qixi stopped and refused to move, Odis also stopped and waited for his partner. Having shed much weight, the little bear experienced the feeling of lightness after sitting on the ground for the first time.
Pondering it over, it’s not all bad. Many diseases related to obesity can be avoided. But he knows that Odis won’t agree.
Seeing that Odis was so eager to urge him down, it’s probably because he noticed that Qiao Qixi had become too thin. Sure enough, back on ice, Odis turned into a serial killer of seals once again. His state seems to have transitioned from a mate to that of an old father. His daily task was to feed him, to the point that he can be called a feeding machine for love.
Of course, that was a bit of an exaggeration.
Although Odis was not as passionate as he was on the mountain, where he would initiate quite the intimate things, he doesn’t immediately transition into a familial role.
The affection was there, just restrained.
After a while back on the ice, the tail end of the spring also finally passed away.
Qiao Qixi and Odis were no longer as much affected by the spring and their lives returned to a normal course.
Usually, after a secluded period following the mating season in the early spring, good news arrives.
A new generation.
But as two male polar bears, they don’t have such an experience, and they might not even think about leaving offspring.
At least, Qiao Qixi never thought about cub-related matters, and Odis…
Looking at Odis, who is seriously searching for the scent of food, Qiao Qixi’s emotions were somewhat complicated. This genetically excellent big guy, does he ever think of having his own offsprings?
It seemed a matter of course as breeding was a genetic directive written into animal genes. Only, Odis violated the first condition necessary, making it impossible to have offspring.
Qiao Qixi didn’t feel any regret, but he had an idea. He thought about if they could find and raise any abandoned cub before the southern migration in 5-6 months.
He and Odis could definitely provide for another cub.
But where would they find such a cub? Would it be allocated by the national authorities?
The answer is of course, impossible.
More importantly, would Odis agree to it?
Unlikely. Unless that little bear was as cute as he was initially.
Anyway, on the journey ahead, Qiao Qixi always intentionally or unintentionally kept an eye on the cubs. They did encounter a few, but they all had mothers.
Inwardly, Alexander let out a shout of wanting to raise them, but on the outside, he could only look from afar.
Unexpectedly having the desire to raise cubs, was this a sign of aging?
Inadvertently, when he paid close attention to the female polar bears with the cubs, Odis expressed his dissatisfaction. Ignoring Odis, who he thought was fully focused, resulted in a painful tug on the ear. Odis had bitten his ear and pulled his head back.
This isn’t jealousy, just a correction of the course of course.
“…..” Qiao Qixi sighed, not understanding why Odis suddenly bit him, and with more force than usual.
Ignoring this, he continued to observe the little bears. They were all so cute, making sounds as if expressing their desire to be raised.
This time, Odis didn’t bite his ears. Instead, he directly held Alexander, who was staring at the female, and dragged him to a place where he couldn’t see the female before letting go.
Ah, ah, ah.
Alexander’s nape felt a dull pain, finally getting a hint of something. He looked at Odis somewhat helplessly.
No, that’s not it!
Then he obediently followed his boyfriend’s steps.
