Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Whose heart is in turmoil?

An oversized white bear stood behind Lu Zhiluan. It was roughly four or five meters tall, and its entire body was covered in snow-white, fluffy fur. From a distance, it looked like a giant, soft marshmallow.

The white bear tilted its head, its dark eyes staring quietly at the little human in front of it. Its eyes were gentle and not aggressive at all. It stretched out a bear paw to Lu Zhiluan, motioning him to climb up.

Lu Zhiluan was overwhelmed with pride and tried to touch it with his hand. He felt a small concave hole and found that it was not a solid bear.

Perhaps thinking that Lu Zhiluan was moving too slowly, the white bear pressed his back with its other paw. Lu Zhiluan seemed to have fallen into a pile of cotton. Before he could react, the white bear began to move above the river.

In order to avoid slipping, Lu Zhiluan had to grab a large ball of white bear fur at hand as a handle.

Lu Zhiluan tried to talk to it, "Where are you taking me? There is another person like me. Do you know where he is?"

The white bear growled twice and continued walking forward, as if he didn't understand.

The system spoke and explained the situation to Lu Zhilan: "It has no intelligence and cannot translate."

It asked curiously, "How is it? Doesn't the Teddy Bear feel good? This is the super-large golden finger I prepared for the host. It saved you and Admiral Jing."

"Originally, the place where you fell was not here. I just happened to detect a distress signal from a small animal, so I set the location here." said the system.

Recalling the thrill of falling off the cliff, Lu Zhilan is still frightened. Lei Jiu's final appearance as a corpse was truly terrifying. He was clearly dead, his body was stiff and blue, yet he was still able to crawl up.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiluan thanked the system sincerely.

Also, Jing Miao...

When Lu Zhiluan thought of this name, he felt mixed emotions. He didn't expect Jing Miao to jump down with him so resolutely. Why could he do this?

An answer in his heart was about to come out, but Lu Zhilan did not dare to face it.

To him, this was obviously a very easy problem to solve. Just like the good intentions he had encountered in the past, he could just reject them with a single word or quietly distance himself from them. Most people would understand the rejection and would back off. Especially someone with a keen insight like Jing Miao wouldn't even need to do it deliberately.

Things had developed to this point, and Lu Zhiluan had to admit that he had condoned Jing Miao's step-by-step approach.

He found many seemingly legitimate reasons for his acquiescence, such as Jing Miao was once a little cat, and he had seen many unknown sides of him and knew that he was an outsider. Another example was that General Jing was a man who could distinguish right from wrong and had a strong sense of responsibility, so after turning back into a human, he still subconsciously regarded him as someone he could trust.

However, all the good reasons he found would be overturned one by one. He met many kind and friendly people in this world, including the warm and simple neighbors of 07 Star, his fellow breeders in the research institute, Liu Qingsong, Zhuo Lan, Fang Yi and so on.

Everyone is very nice, but Lu Zhiluan can tell the difference; these are two different emotions.

No matter how weird it is, Jing Miao occupies the most special place in his heart.

But what to do?

He hasn't thought about it yet.

Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, the window paper hasn't been torn yet, so we can wait a little longer.

Lu Zhiluan sighed silently for his indecision, turned over quietly, and lay on his back in the warm and soft fur, putting his worries behind him. He raised his head and looked around curiously.

It was still snowing. To his left was a river emitting white smoke, and the other side was invisible. Not far to his right was a cliff that meandered along the river and reached high into the clouds.

There is a different world at the bottom of the ice cliff.

The white bear hitchhiker arrived at its destination after turning a corner.

Lu Zhiluan slid down from the white bear and looked forward.

Several huge white furry bears gathered in a circle on the shallow beach by the river, their heads put together, as if they were trying to grab something.

"Blah, la la..." Something broke out of the water.

"roar!"

Several bears growled as if they were celebrating.

Soon they moved back, revealing the blocked area in the middle.

Then Lu Zhiluan saw the Alliance's fearsome Admiral Jing, with his trousers and sleeves rolled up, holding a large golden fish in his hands and standing among a group of giant white bears, with a very calm expression.

A few polar bears roared a few more times, and the next second Jing Miao looked towards the shore, his eyes falling accurately on Lu Zhiluan.

It turns out that the tall Admiral Jing is also a pixelated little man next to the white bear.

It's a bit contradictory, but also has a weird contrast.

Lu Zhiluan didn't know what expression he should make, so he just raised his hand and waved to greet him.

Soon Jing Miao carried the fish to the shore, and Lu Zhiluan discovered that there was a pile of fish on the shore, shining brightly and yellow, like a small pile of gold.

Jing Miao put the fish aside, turned around and walked into the river to wash his hands. After drying them, he naturally touched Lu Zhilan's forehead to check his temperature.

Lu Zhiluan was startled by his sudden action. He froze and dared not move. His breathing became disordered and he stared blankly at the man in front of him.

The skin touched each other and although they were of almost the same temperature, Lu Zhilan had the illusion that the small patch of skin on his forehead was faintly warm.

After a while, Jing Miao calmly withdrew his hand and looked down at him, "The fever has subsided. Apart from the sore throat, do you feel any discomfort anywhere else?"

Lu Zhiluan shook his head and answered truthfully in a hoarse voice: "No more."

Jing Miao nodded, picked up the big fish again, and said softly: "Go back, it's very cold outside."

Several polar bears also came ashore, staggering back with the tails of a dozen large fish in their arms or mouths.

Lu Zhiluan stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Jing Miao. He turned his head and asked him, "Admiral, were they helping you catch fish just now?"

Jing Miao said in a calm tone: "To be precise, he is teaching me."

Lu Zhiluan became even more curious: "Why?"

Jing Miao: "Because this group has an unwritten rule of protecting food. The food they catch is not given to anyone except their mate and cubs."

Lu Zhiluan didn't expect this answer, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed very reasonable. Protecting food is the nature of many animals.

Feeling gently touched on the back, Lu Zhiluan turned around, then looked up, and finally recognized that it was the white bear that brought him here.

The next second, there was a slippery fish in his arms.

Lu Zhiluan was holding the fish in a panic, looking at the man beside him with a puzzled look.

Isn’t it said that Teddy Bears protect their food?

What's the matter with this feeding? Does the polar bear think he is a cub?

Lu Zhiluan was at a loss: "General, this..."

The usual cold and distant expression on the young man's face was replaced by confusion. He was dazed, like a little hedgehog with its soft belly spread out, and took the initiative to hug your hand. The spikes on its body were still there, but the direction had changed.

Jing Miao raised the corners of his mouth, a faint smile reaching his eyes, "Because what I said before about the spouse and cubs was just a joke for you. The fish are caught by the bear, and I am only responsible for picking them up and bringing them to the shore."

Lu Zhiluan: “…”

He held the fish and sped up, leaving Jing Miao behind in just two or three steps.

Jing Miao paused for a moment, then took two steps at a time to catch up. Lu Zhiluan glanced at him indifferently, then secretly quickened his pace.

Jing Miao followed again, and Lu Zhiluan left again.

I don't know when the snow stopped.

In the vast expanse of white snow, the two of them sometimes walked one in front of the other, sometimes side by side, walking and stopping, as if they were silently competing for something.

The polar bear followed them silently, holding the fish in its mouth, with clear and puzzled eyes. It really couldn't understand what such behavior meant.

He simply took big strides and quickly passed the two little humans and returned to the cave.

The two people realized belatedly that their pursuit of each other was very childish: "..."

They walked the last short distance side by side, and no one spoke.

Back in the cave, the polar bears had already had a feast of fish.

Jing Miao simply cleaned the fish, cut it into small pieces and gave them to Lu Zhiluan.

He had tasted this fish before. The water in the glacier was very clean, and the fish had almost no fishy smell. The fish meat was delicate and melted in the mouth, with a cool taste, like ice cream that was not that sweet.

Considering that it was raw food, the two of them simply filled their stomachs and did not eat much.

It was getting dark outside and night was approaching.

The signal from Nameless Star is not good, and it is at the bottom of a cliff. Jing Miao sent out their location a long time ago, but he was not sure when the guards would receive it and find this place.

After eating the fish, the polar bears gathered together to keep each other warm and rest. Lu Zhiluan and Jing Miao, who were small humans, were pushed to the innermost side by them, blocking most of the cold wind.

Although there was a hot spring flowing not far away, the heat dissipated as soon as it rose, and the temperature in the cave kept dropping. Lu Zhiluan leaned against the giant bear blanket, and even though he was wearing cold-proof clothing and a coat, he could still feel the biting cold penetrating all around him. He closed his eyes and tried to rest, but he was too cold to sleep, and even his teeth were trembling slightly.

Jing Miao, who was lying on the side with his eyes closed, noticed it at the first moment. He opened his eyes, took off Lu Zhilan's coat, held him in his arms, and then covered both of them with the coat.

Holding the slightly trembling slender body tightly, Jing Miao whispered to the person in his arms: "Are you feeling better now?"

Suddenly enveloped by warmth, the biting cold faded away, and Lu Zhiluan couldn't help but let out a small sigh of satisfaction.

He couldn't help but move closer, resting his forehead on the man's shoulder, and curled up in Jing Miao's arms.

After a while, Lu Zhiluan sniffed from under his coat and said in a muffled voice, "Much better."

Jing Miao secretly tightened his embrace: "I'm sorry, it was my negligence."

The physique of a person with special abilities is different from that of an ordinary person. This temperature is still within the tolerable range for him, but Lu Zhiluan is different. He is just an ordinary person.

The person in his arms struggled slightly and found a comfortable position. The slightly cool hair on top of his head brushed against Jing Miao's chin, softly, like a feather.

"It's okay, it's fine like this now."

He heard Lu Zhiluan's answer.
