Rubbing its little head against his trouser leg, it made a "hmm hmm" sound, afraid that this giant "meal ticket" would leave it behind.
"I know, I know, I won't leave you." Lin Yu'an said with a smile, picking it up.
"But outside is much colder than here, and the snow is very deep. Your little short legs can't walk through it; I need to find you a 'ride'."
The so-called ride was that enormous mountaineering backpack. He carefully placed December inside, adjusting the opening so it could poke its little head out, allowing it to observe the outside world without easily falling out.
He hoisted the heavy backpack, then adjusted the shoulder strap, moving it to his chest. This way, with it on his front, he could observe December's condition at all times.
December seemed very curious and satisfied with this brand-new "mobile castle." Its little head poked out from the backpack's opening; this view was broader and felt safer than ever before.
"Hold on tight, little guy, here we go!"
