After reporting the issue, he felt refreshed.
Before it got dark, he planned to check on Black Bear Sister and her two cubs.
To his surprise, he didn't see the sister but found the street rat perched on a nearby tree, daydreaming.
"What are you doing here? Where's your little girlfriend?"
Chen Ying looked up and saw a very human-like expression on the street rat's face.
"They went fishing, left me here to watch the kids."
Well, dialects were coming through, showing clearly the pecking order in the family.
It was indeed rare for Black Bear Sister to entrust the little cub to its care, especially considering her stereotypical view of the street rat, where allowing it within five meters of her den was already a great favor.
"There's suddenly a new pond in Old Bear Gully with fish in it, and they've gone there to catch fish."
