You Plan To Kill Me With Meng? - Chapter 45.1

It wasn’t until he looked away from the female bear that Odis finally give up pulling on Qiao Qixi’s ears and fur. This behavior made Qiao Qixi think that even polar bears could get jealous.

To confirm this absurd speculation, Qiao Qixi, or should I say Qiao Dandan, started to squint and stare at the female bear they encountered next.

T/N: Dandan is used as a form of an affectionate nickname. It’s commonly added to someone’s name or another noun to express endearment.

The result, don’t ask, he regretted it.

His ears hurt so much.

This is outrageous. It seems that even polar bears can get jealous, or, maybe only Odis, this unique polar bear, can get jealous.

Anyway, he would not dare to look at female bears anymore.

During May and June, these two who had been living carefree for a while, worked hard to hunt and feed their love.

Due to the tight schedule, until the time of migration to the south, they didn’t manage to regain their previous mass. This was Qiao Qixi’s first regret.

Second one, they could not find any cubs to raise.

This was very frustrating. After settling down in the Arctic for so many years, he hadn’t even touched the fur of a single cub. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he kicked Odis on the paw.

Although it was Odis’s fault he couldn’t find any cubs, he was sleeping soundly by his side.

Odis was kicked awake and when he saw that it was Qiao Qixi, he lazily stretched his neck and licked Qiao Qixi’s face as if asking, “What’s wrong?”

Facing Odis’s gentle eyes, Qiao Qixi felt he was being unreasonable.

He kissed Odis saying, It’s nothing, it’s nothing, go back to sleep.

But Odis thought that the bear was bored and needed his company to play. So even though he felt a little tired, he reluctantly opened his heavy eyelids to accompany the little bear.

Re-embarking on their journey after waking up, Odis continued his search for food. Qiao Qixi hadn’t fattened up enough in these two months and he couldn’t continue to be lazy this summer.

The sun was quite strong and Qiao Qixi put Xiao Huang under the shade of a tree to avoid June’s direct intense rays. In the blink of an eye, the little yellow bucket had accompanied him for so many years. It was no longer as bright in colour. Signs of aging and cracking might appear sooner or later.

It was a nostalgic matter for Qiao Qixi.

Apart from Alexander worrying about it, all those people who liked and kept watch on this polar bear couple also gave their best wishes to this little yellow bucket, hoping it stayed healthy.

“Very good.” The couple strolling side by side on the beach as they played and interacted with each other brought joyous smiles to the researchers watching them from the drone.

Indeed, their relationship was very good.

There are happy stories occurring in the Arctic every day. Over the years, the one that could soothe away people’s bad mood was undoubtedly Alexander’s and Odis’s love story.

After paying attention to them for a long time, people know that Alexander likes acting cute, was a bit mischievous and liked eating fatty meat. On the other hand, Odis was calm, steady and somewhat reserved, unable to resist Alexander’s teasing.

They were a perfect pair.

Coming to the south coast, Qiao Qixi who hadn’t given up on picking up a bear cub, dreamt of finding a lone cub and thought, “Daddy Qixi and Daddy Odis love you.”

Honestly speaking, if they could really find one, it would undoubtedly be the most comfortable second-generation bear in the Arctic.

Just like when he was a cub.

Maybe Qiao Qixi thought really strong, after some time, he and Odis encountered a sub-adult bear. The bear seemed to have just left its mother and had not yet adapted to living on his own.

Qiao Qixi was very compromising. If they couldn’t find a cub, a sub-adult bear is also good. He wanted to ask the bear if he minded having two fathers after leaving his mother. The two of them were excellent at hunting and could show off to impress the bear.

As a result, before he could do anything, the bear turned around quickly and fled, obviously frightened.

“….” Qiao Qixi felt a sense of defeat. Did he and Odis not look like good bears?

Qiao Qixi didn’t think there was any problem. He looked in the ‘mirror’ by the water every day and only felt that he was cute. If there was any problem, it must be because of Odis.

Odis, who had released a dangerous aura and scared away the bear, was kicked by Qiao Qixi on the paw. He blinked his eyes calmly and only felt that his paw was feeling itchy.

Due to Odis, an uncooperative-stirring stick, Alexander’s plan to adopt a bear was put on hold.

Later on, he also understood that Odis didn’t like small bears. When he picked him up back then, it seemed to be a bit mysterious and destined. Qiao Qixi sighed. And this kind of thing would only happen once in a lifetime.

Since Odis didn’t want to adopt a bear, as a partner, Qiao Qixi accepted the other’s thoughts and gradually stopped pursuing this thought that initially arose for the purpose of ‘petting’ a bear.

Two bears in a home, was also quite good, saving the trouble of an extra mouth to feed.

As for the little yellow bucket, its quality was very good. It had not cracked due to aging in the next three or four years. But there were times when Qiao Qixi accidentally dropped it on the reefs and opened a hole.

Qiao Qixi felt sorry for it for a long time. But there was nothing he could do; it would bid them farewell sooner or later. Whether it was this year or the next, there would always be a year.

Odis was a little puzzled looking at broken Xiao Huang. Qiao Qixi felt that it was decent to part on good terms and threw Xiao Huang into the sea. He let it embark on the final stage of its bucket life, until it was salvaged by the garbage ship.

As the little yellow bucket drifted away along the waves, Qiao Qixi suddenly heard a splash. It was Odis who had jumped into the sea to chase the bucket.

“….” Qiao Qixi was dumbfounded, hurriedly jumped into the sea and swam over. It was not long before Odis swam back to the shore with the little yellow bucket, showing it off as if asking for being complimented, looking at Qiao Qixi with a wet face.

Qiao Qixi originally wanted to scold him for behaving foolishly but when he understood what Odis had intended, where could he find it in himself to say anything? Odis was an idiot. Did Odis even know how much sentimental he was making him feel?

“Ao-ao”. Qiao Qixi hugged Odis and tried to make him understand that the little yellow bucket was broken. They could find another one.

Let it be free.

Of course, Odis didn’t know what freedom or parting meant. But when he saw Qiao Qixi solemnly carry Xiao Huang into the water and released it, perhaps at that moment, he understood something.

He walked to Qiao Qixi’s side and watched as the no longer-vibrant yellow bucket drifted away with the current.

Goodbye, Xiao Huang.

Qiao Qixi stood up and waved his bear paw, caring little whether there was a drone capturing the moment. In any case, he wanted to do what he felt like doing.

Sending off the little yellow bucket, did Qiao Qixi have any regrets, you ask?

Certainly, he did.

When he caught sea urchins, Qiao Qixi was aggrieved. Although Xiao Huang was leaking, it could at least hold sea urchins.

There was a saying, sea urchins taste really good, just that there are too many spines.

They had to be handled carefully, lest it prick the bear’s paw. It was too late though. A thorn pierced Alexander in the most delicate part of the paw and the pain made him grimace and cry out.

Foodies are inevitably injured.

Qiao Qixi first completed eating the sea urchin in his hand and then went to look for Odis. He handed the injured paw to Odis, “Woo woo woo.”

Odis licked the bear’s paw, but couldn’t find where he was hurt even after a long time, only tasting the flavor of sea urchin.

He licked his lips, looking somewhat helpless at his coquettish partner.
