Within Bear Ridge, observing the patch of dark clouds no larger than a basketball court above his head and the rain that poured down like from a showerhead, Yang Lin fell into contemplation.
Step forward and he was in the rain, step back and he was in bright sunshine.
"I'm in."
"Ah, I'm out again."
After a few more hops between the two zones, Yang Lin gradually accepted this reality, gaining a deeper understanding of the concept of "localized rain" mentioned in the weather forecast.
The next second, he shifted his attention to Li Xiaolong, who was looking rather dejected beside him.
Holding the white cub above his head to shield them from the rain, Yang Lin walked over and stood by its side.
"It's alright, being small is fine. You're still young, you'll grow bigger later."
"When we grow up, we'll call you Li Dalong."
"By the way, can this showerhead, no, this rain, stop for a bit? I want to see snow."
As he spoke, Yang Lin looked expectantly at Li Xiaolong.
Li Xiaolong did not disappoint his expectations, and soon the light rain in the sky slowly ceased.
Noticing this change, Yang Lin seized the opportunity and placed the white cub on the ground nearby.
The moment it landed, the white cub, its fur wet, transformed into a drill beast, moving so fast its face became a blur.
In the blink of an eye, all the water on its body was shaken off.
But Yang Lin, caught off guard nearby, was not so lucky.
"Pah, pah, pah! It's all flicked onto my face!"
"I'm telling you, if you ever fall into a cesspit, don't come near me."
Just as he finished complaining, a sudden chill touched the back of his neck.
Instinctively, Yang Lin looked up at the sky.
With just one glance, he saw the slowly falling snowflakes.
Under the bright, sunny sky, such a wondrous sight momentarily dazed him.
If an outsider were to see this, they would likely be stunned on the spot.
Because no matter how one looked at it, these snowflakes only appeared in a small area around Yang Lin.
As he watched, Yang Lin felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Something's not right, not right. Why do I have this BGM in my mind..."
"I've calculated it. If all goes smoothly, it will take about half a month for you to reach the Motuo Nature Reserve from here. I think you should set off today."
"We'll meet there after you arrive."
At this, the white cub was completely taken aback, but soon, a surge of excitement from deep within its soul washed away that hint of worry.
"If I have to go alone, I'll go alone. I've grown up now, so it'll definitely be fine."
"I'm sure I can find my parents on my own."
At this moment, the white cub felt its heart filled with fighting spirit; no difficulty could stop it.
However, less than two seconds later, it realized a very serious problem.
"Um, Director, I don't seem to know the way. Can you tell me where Motuo is?"
Having anticipated this, Yang Lin immediately took out his phone and opened a map application.
"See here, our current location is Nanning. Motuo is here. You need to..."
After explaining for more than ten minutes, the white cub finally showed a look of understanding that was not quite complete.
"Director, I think I've got it. I'll set off now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white cub prepared to rush out.
Seeing this, Yang Lin quickly stopped it.
"Wait, don't rush off yet. Let me give you something before you go."
As he spoke, Yang Lin placed his palm on the white cub's forehead.
