Chapter 35 No Blood Relationship

"Dad, after the lamb raises the eaglet, does that mean she is the eaglet's mother?"

Lu Ting found this question a bit puzzling.

Sheep are sheep, eagles are eagles. They are not even of different races. How can they be relatives?

He said as a matter of course: "They are different races, of course not."

"Why can't different species become relatives?"

Zhizhi is Taozhi Yaoyao, a little monster, and her father is a human. She and her father are not of the same species, but her father is her relative.

The studious and inquisitive little Taozhi scratched his head and asked again.

Lu Ting didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he calmly changed the subject: "Why do you have so many whys in your little head?"

Xiao Taozhi: "Because it's a virtue not to be ashamed to ask questions."

Grandpa Willow said~

Lu Ting: ...

God, you are so shameless to ask questions!

Does this little brat even know what this idiom means?

Lu Ting frowned and said in a serious tone, "Who taught you that?"

He wanted to see which bastard was leading his child astray.

Little Taozhi blurted out without thinking: "It's Grandpa!"

When talking about grandpa, the little guy's tone of voice rose a lot, and the smile in his big, sparkling eyes was almost overflowing.

Lu Ting narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, "Grandpa...who is he?"

"Grandpa is Zhizhi's favorite person in the world!"

Grandpa? Favorite?

…

Lu Ting's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he felt a sudden pang of sadness in his heart.

No wonder his last name is Tao and not Lu, it turns out this little brat has a grandfather...

And she still clung to his thighs and called him daddy, and even ate and drank so much from him for free! !

A scam?!

"Oh? Really?" Lu Ting forced his lips to curl, trying to make himself look a little more amiable. Then he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Then you should quickly go find your favorite grandfather."

Don't bother him here.

"But……"

A layer of mist instantly welled up in the little girl's eyes. She bit her moist lips, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

The little guy was very sad, and his childish voice was very low: "Grandpa is dead..."

Lu Ting's breathing hitched.

He didn't know that it would touch the little guy's heart.

Suddenly, a sour feeling mixed with a strong sense of guilt spread in his chest, making him feel a little suffocated.

Lu Ting's icy tone softened unconsciously. He touched Tao Zhi's little head and asked casually, "Who is your grandfather?"

"Well, Grandpa..."

Little Taozhi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and tried hard to recall the appearance of Grandpa Willow in her little head.

"Grandpa is very tall, taller than the roof... Um... Grandpa's body is brown, and his hair is green, very long... About this long..."

Tao Zhi spread out her two little paws and demonstrated to Lu Ting seriously.

Lu's fingers that were resting on Xiao Taozhi's head froze.

He frowned slightly.

Brown skin, green hair, and a height of two or three meters...

Could it be that the grandfather this little guy is talking about grew up taking hormones?

Stifling the absurd thoughts in his mind, Lu Ting said frankly, "Don't cry. After all, crying is useless. Your grandfather is already dead. There's no way he can come back to life."

Xiao Taozhi:_.

She was stunned for two seconds, then she cried out, and tears as big as beans rolled down her eyes, plopped non-stop.

Lu Ting was stunned, his handsome face tense and he was at a loss for a moment.

He was just speaking the truth, so how come he made the little guy cry?

The little guy cried breathlessly: "Daddy lied to me...Grandpa...Grandpa will definitely come back..."

"Okay, okay, your grandpa will definitely come back." Lu Ting agreed without any emotion. He patted the storybook in the little guy's hand and asked, "Do you want to tell me more stories?"

Little Taozhi sobbed: "Talk..."

She obediently wiped the tears from her face, quietly clenched her fists, and secretly made up her mind.

Don’t worry, Grandpa, Zhizhi will definitely save you!

"...Later, the lamb grew old and could no longer walk. The eagle grew very big. Every day, the eagle took care of the lamb and found food for it... Awooo..."

Little Taozhi was a little sleepy. She yawned, rested her head comfortably on Lu Ting's arm, and closed her eyes.

The little eagle was still mumbling: "The lamb and the eagle live happily together. They are very happy every day... Awooo... Every day..."

After a while, the little guy fell silent.

Sure enough, I fell asleep before I could coax him to sleep.

Lu Ting chuckled, his eyelashes drooping.

The warm orange light gently draped over the little girl's tiny figure like a veil. She was enveloped in light and shadow, like an elf that had fallen into the mortal world.

Lu Ting raised his thin lips slightly, and his sharp profile softened a lot under the light.

"Um... Daddy..."

Little Taozhi kept mumbling to herself, as if she was talking in her sleep.

Lu Ting stabilized his arms and leaned closer. The little guy's baby voice gradually became clearer in his ears: "Daddy... Daddy is old... Zhizhi will... will always be with you..."

The inarticulate words flowed along the man's ear, softly hitting his eardrum word by word, quietly softening his heart.

Lu Ting gently carried the little guy to the bed, took off his shoes and covered him with the quilt.

The warm quilt made the little guy hum with comfort.

Lu Ting pushed the loose hair on Tao Zhi's face aside, revealing her pink and tender little face, which looked like a red apple and was very cute.

Looking at the little guy's peaceful sleeping face, Lu Ting said softly: "Good night."

He turned off the light and walked out of the ward.

The moonlight outside was just right, leaping over the transparent plexiglass window and spilling all over the ground like water.

Assistant Zhang called him several times just now, but he hung up because he was listening to the little kid telling a story.

Lu Ting called back and the call was connected quickly.

"What's up?"

Assistant Zhang: "Headquarters has issued an order stating that they are unable to contact you, the presiding judge."

"The dedicated contactor is broken."

It must have been broken when we were exterminating the strange beasts two days ago.

"Headquarters said that you've worked hard on exterminating the alien beasts this time, so they're giving you a month's vacation. However, they ask you to report back to headquarters in a week to report on the results."

"I know." Lu Ting was about to hang up the phone.

"One more thing..."

Lu paused: "What?"

Assistant Zhang hesitated a bit: "The hair you took for testing last time... the test results and DNA paternity test are out..."

"There's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Assistant Zhang glanced at Lu Ting's face secretly.

Lu Ting had no expression on his face and coldly spat out one word: "Speak."

"The good news is... preliminary test results show that Xiao Taozhi's various characteristics are highly consistent with those of humans. Xiao Taozhi is likely human."

"What about the bad news?"

"The bad news... is..." Assistant Zhang rubbed his hands nervously, then said tremblingly: "The paternity test shows that you and Xiao Taozhi..."

"Not a blood relationship..."
