The next morning, the raging snowstorm that had lasted all night gradually subsided, leaving only the ever-present snow mist dancing in the sky.
The group quickly packed their things, preparing to embark on their destined arduous journey home.
Seemingly aware that they were about to leave, the polar bear's head drooped limply, its two front paws pawing at Xiao Wujie's calves, its eyes brimming with tears.
Seeing its appearance, Leng Ruxue, a pet lover, felt her eyes redden. She squatted down in front of it, hugged its head, and gently rubbed it.
"Waaah, little bear, I love you so much, I really don't want to leave you, I'll miss you..."
With departure imminent, the white bear clung tightly to Xiao Wujie's hind legs, refusing to let go, and let out a low, hoarse groan.
Xiao Wujie gently squatted down, his slender fingers stroking its white fur, a gentle smile on his lips, and a glint of light in his eyes as he looked at it.
"Meeting is an unfinished poem, and fate is an endless rhyme."
"You were born from the essence of heaven and earth, and ice and snow are your true world. Since we are destined to meet, I believe we will meet again."
My cool hands cupped its head, and our foreheads gently touched.
The connection of souls transcends species boundaries, finding resonance in each other's worlds.
Amidst the swirling snow and mist, the polar bear stood motionless at the entrance of its den, staring intently at the receding shadow of the snowmobile for a very long time.
On the bus, Leng Ruxue cried her eyes out, tears streaming down her face. She kept pulling out tissues to wipe her red eyes, her voice choked with sobs.
"Pretty little brother, it looks like it likes you so much, why don't you take it with you? Waaaaah..."
"Pretty Little Brother" was the new name she gave Xiao Wujie. It wasn't good to keep calling him "pretty boy," and besides, she didn't dare call him that in front of the boss.
Seeing Chu Liyue's expression, Xiao Wujie, who was leaning against her, felt helpless and then spoke seriously.
“Sister Ruxue, the polar bear is born from the essence of heaven and earth. It is born free and should not be imprisoned because of me.”
"Furthermore, all good things must come to an end. When the bells of parting gently toll, we might as well regard it as a gentle transition in life."
"We each embark on our own journeys, carrying these beautiful memories with us. We believe that at some point in the world, we will encounter even more wonderful scenery and a more complete version of ourselves."
After speaking, he gave Leng Ruxue a meaningful look.
Leng Ruxue was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, then her face fell and she cried even louder.
"Waaaaah, I don't understand! I don't care, I just feel so awful!"
Everyone: ...
Xiao Wujie gave directions, and the group took turns being the driver. The first day's journey went relatively smoothly.
That night, we found another glacial cave to rest in.
The next morning, they embarked on their return journey again. On this day, they encountered ice cracks, road collapses, and ice walls crumbling.
Chu Liyue drifted in her car, and Xiao Wujie used his ice-sealing technique to help her. After several twists and turns, they finally escaped disaster.
Although the safety of the snowmobiles and everyone else was ensured, the original road was completely destroyed and impassable.
They searched for a way out, taking a detour, and finally found a glacial cave where they could take shelter before nightfall and snowstorms arrived.
After a day of toil, everyone was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and looked weary. Fortunately, Xiao Wujie brought some good news.
They were not far from the entrance, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they would be able to reach the entrance and leave this place tomorrow.
However, as expected, an unexpected event still occurred.
The next morning, when Chu Liyue tried to wake Xiao Wujie in her arms, she found that he was breathing heavily, his face was flushed, and he had a fever.
Chu Liyue carried him into the car, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes darkening somewhat, as she tried to gently wake him.
She had been careful, but the extreme cold and the constant exertion were too much for his body.
Fever and exhaustion made Xiao Wujie unable to open his eyes for a moment. He just frowned and snuggled into Chu Liyue's arms uncomfortably.
"Sweetie, listen to me, wake up, you have a fever, you can't sleep like this."
Seeing him so uncomfortable that he didn't want to open his eyes, Chu Liyue felt terrible, but she could only force herself to coax him awake.
Fortunately, everyone's supply kits contained common medications, including fever reducers.
Since there was no thermometer, Chu Liyue could not accurately determine the degree of his fever, so she could only grit her teeth and feed him a fever-reducing pill based on her sense of touch.
Lu Zhufeng, in the driver's seat, poured a cup of water from his thermos. Because it had been sitting for so long, it could no longer be called hot water; it was only slightly warm.
The water was not very warm, and it contained a handful of fever reducers and other medications he usually needed to take.
Although Chu Liyue carefully divided the pills so that he could swallow no more than two at a time, he still choked on them later on.
The violent cough brought on sharp pains in his chest, making him so uncomfortable that he couldn't even straighten his back, and saline solution kept sliding down his cheeks.
Chu Liyue could only hug him and gently stroke his back to help him catch his breath.
After a long while, he finally calmed down, leaning weakly against Chu Liyue's chest, panting heavily, his face flushed from coughing and streaked with tears.
Chu Liyue quickly opened her fox fur coat and hugged him tightly, her red lips filled with tenderness as she gently kissed away the tears that had welled up in his eyes.
Xiao Wujie nuzzled her neck lightly twice, grabbed her hand and placed it on his heart, then forced himself to point out the way.
Chu Liyue could clearly feel his body trembling slightly as he nestled in her arms; she knew he was cold.
"Turn on the air conditioner."
His voice was cold and hard, carrying an unquestionable authority.
