Xu Qiaoqiao first went to the cave where Lily's mother was sleeping.

Although Lily's mom and Panda's dad are a couple, they usually sleep separately.

Listening to Lily's mother's slow breathing, Xu Qiaoqiao lowered her head, gently licked Lily's mother's ear, and kissed her cheek.

Mom, this time I'm really leaving.

If you run into me again in the future, you won't remember me, so please take good care of yourselves.

Perhaps sensing something, Lily's mother, though not awake, unconsciously responded to Xu Qiaoqiao's actions in her sleep, gently nuzzling her forehead against Xu Qiaoqiao's head and whimpering.

Then she fell into a deep sleep again.

Then Xu Qiaoqiao said goodbye to her brothers and sisters one by one, as well as her father, Panda, and finally her uncle, Victor.

Arctic foxes have night vision, so the darkness in the cave was not a problem for Xu Qiaoqiao.

However, a small accident occurred when saying goodbye to Uncle Victor.

Just as Xu Qiaoqiao was about to kiss Uncle Victor, he suddenly moved, twitching his round little ears. Sensing Qiaoqiao's presence, he quickly opened his eyes.

Then he met a pair of cunning eyes.

"Giggle." Joe, you're back!

Victor's voice was filled with undisguised joy.

He got up from the ground, leaned over and nuzzled Xu Qiaoqiao's cheek, looking at her with gentle eyes, without asking her where she had gone out to do.

"Uncle," Xu Qiaoqiao called out, then kissed his eyes in response to his gesture.

She was somewhat surprised that her uncle was still awake.

"Gaga." Uncle, I'm leaving.

After getting close to Victor, Xu Qiaoqiao looked at him seriously and said...

Victor blinked. "Leave? Where are you going?"

Xu Qiaoqiao honestly replied, "I eloped with a polar bear."

She didn't want to lie to her uncle, but if she said she was eloping with the bear she liked, he would still ask questions, even though it was still quite absurd for a polar bear.

I'm with a very cute polar bear. He loves me very much and will cherish me. We will be very happy together.

As expected, Victor was startled by Xu Qiaoqiao's words.

His eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, and he looked dazed, clearly shocked by the information Xu Qiaoqiao had brought.

"Polar bear, is it the polar bear I think it is?"

After realizing what had happened, the uncle's reaction was quite different; he became excited and seemed very thrilled.

It jumped up on the ground, and its tail wouldn't stay still either.

Xu Qiaoqiao was surprised for a few seconds as she watched her uncle's actions. She hadn't expected her uncle to be so fearless.

"Yes, it's a polar bear, just like the one we saw the other day, but smaller and cuter."

A path never imagined.

Viktor was suddenly curious to learn that his adorable little niece was living with a polar bear.

Of his brothers and sisters born at the same time, some died, some were eaten, leaving only him, his mother Lily, and another aunt.

He was the most mischievous of them all, and his ideas were the most daring.

"Joe, you're amazing." You actually found yourself a long-term meal ticket. You really are my lovely little niece. I didn't see through your cunning!

Victor was now very proud of himself. You see, after Joe was born, he was the one who spent the most time with Joe, and Lily's mother rarely interfered.

Adding to the fact that he had previously taken Joe along to scavenge for scraps from the polar bear, Victor thought it was great, Joe was really amazing!

Xu Qiaoqiao: ...

Xu Qiaoqiao: ? ? ?

What the heck?

She was prepared. Her uncle tried to persuade her earnestly, after all, he was an Arctic fox and couldn't understand why an Arctic fox would be with a polar bear. He couldn't even imagine crossing species.

The other party's sudden remark completely baffled Xu Qiaoqiao.

She raised her paw and scratched the back of her head. She had never been able to keep up with her uncle's thought process. She really racked her brains but couldn't figure out why her uncle was acting this way.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his reputation as Victor's uncle.

Xu Qiaoqiao asked tentatively, "Uncle, aren't you worried?"

Victor gently patted Xu Qiaoqiao's head, his voice filled with a sense of comfort: "Since you've already made up your mind, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Joe, you'll be happy, right?"

He genuinely didn't understand why Joe would leave their beautiful Arctic foxes to be with a polar bear, but he knew Joe; Joe was smart.

Joe must have thought about these decisions many times before making them.

He respected Joe's ideas.

Feeling her uncle's touch and hearing his gentle words, Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She felt an urge to cry, but she forced herself to hold it back. However, Victor seemed to sense Xu Qiaoqiao's distress.

Parting is always a painful thing.

Victor smiled, stepped forward, hugged Xu Qiaoqiao, kissed her head, and gently rubbed her fur.

Uncle Victor's gentle actions caused Xu Qiaoqiao's defenses to crumble instantly, and she cried softly in her uncle's arms.

Uncle, thank you.

I will always remember you.

After crying, Xu Qiaoqiao leaned over and kissed her uncle.
