Sesame might have been unhappy, but the live stream's chat room boiled over with excitement at his actions.
"Sesame is so cute!"
"Our Sesame is just the cutest!"
"Is that really not a person? If this was uploaded to the internet, there'll definitely be people claiming that it's just a person in a bear costume."
"I know it's inappropriate, but I really feel like laughing!"
"Hahaha!"
The atmosphere in the live chat was positive and lively, but SesameBagel was very exasperated.
"Sesame hasn't eaten or drunk anything in two days—something he's never done before," he told Madison. "Can you help me take a look at him, Ms. Locke?"
"Ms. Locke's business has expanded again. Has she already started expanding from humans to animals?"
"Has Ms. Locke's reputation already reached this stage?"
"Please take a look at Sesame, Ms. Locke! Honestly, I really want to hear his story."
"Me too, me too!"
SesameBagel looked expectantly at Madison. He had only asked for help online because he was really at his wits' end. Some netizens had jokingly told him to watch SeeingYourWorld's live stream, but he hadn't expected to actually get selected in the lucky draw.
"Focus your camera on Sesame," instructed Madison.
SesameBagel adjusted his phone camera, which gave the viewers a closer view of Sesame's face. It once again caused them to get excited at his cuteness.
Some bear enthusiasts heard of the situation and flocked to the live stream. The viewer count soared, with the number of online viewers exceeding ten million.
Madison stared at Sesame for some time, even as Sesame growled and huffed at the camera.
After a while, she told SesameBagel, "He's not trying to escape confinement but trying to save his companion."
"His companion?" SesameBagel echoed in confusion. "The bears in our enclosure are all present! Don't tell me you mean the bear is out in the wild?"
"Yes," replied Madison in confirmation.
Aiden was still hesitant.
Just then, Madison interjected, "Sesame says that his companion is in great danger right now."
When he heard that the bear was in danger, Aiden's expression quickly changed.
"I'll notify our men right away," he said. "You guys get ready."
SesameBagel responded happily, then quickly ran back to Sesame's room.
"Come eat something, Sesame," he coaxed. "We'll take you to look for your companion soon."
After coaxing him for a bit, Sesame turned and quickly trotted over to the metal gate.
SesameBagel fed Sesame food and water while grumbling unhappily, "What companion is worth going on a hunger strike for?"
Sesame ate and drank what was given to him without protest.
Two hours later, the employees of the enclosure were done with their preparations and started searching for the bear under Sesame's guidance.
