[Cub Raising + Fluffy + Fa...
Chapter 155
A Yan's whole body froze, and as he felt the hand that was grabbing his tail, a blush gradually spread across his face.
The tail and ears were all illusions he created, but they were also part of his body, so it was natural that he couldn't help but feel something when they were touched.
In the past, he was ignorant and felt close to Su Ci, but now... it was different from the past.
He felt the heat on his face spreading towards his ears, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at Su Ci in the dim moonlight.
The young man put one leg on him and wrapped him up like he would a pillow. He grabbed his tail and put it in a convenient position for stroking. One hand touched the fluffy fur on it, and the other hand placed on the furry ears on the top of his head.
The displeasure on the young man's face was replaced by satisfaction, and the increasing low pressure also dissipated after he touched the fur.
He closed his eyes again and rested his head on A Yan's chest. His beautiful sleeping face looked very peaceful at this moment, and the loose neckline that had slightly slid down, revealing his faintly visible white collarbone, added a bit of mouth-drying charm to the scene.
A Yan swallowed and forced himself to look away.
In the quiet night, he could hear the sound of his breathing, trying hard to control himself.
Slowly, he felt the frequency of those palms caressing him gradually decrease, and finally became still.
A Yan lowered his head again, looking at the young man's face as he fell into a deep sleep. Recalling everything that had just happened, he slowly curled the corners of his lips.
I thought I would have to sleep alone for a long time, but I didn't expect...
Su Su is the same as him, will she feel uncomfortable?
A Yan approached Su Ci cautiously, put his nose on his soft hair and sniffed gently. The familiar scent made him feel safe and close.
He thought, if only time could stop at this moment...
Gradually, A Yan also closed his eyes.
Before, it was Su Ci who held him when he turned into a cub, but now... it was him who held Su Ci in his arms and fell asleep peacefully.
The next morning, when the faint morning light poured into the room through the window, Langze opened his eyes and woke up.
Now he has formed a biological clock and wakes up on time at 5:50 every day. Because he goes to bed early at night and has good sleep quality, he feels refreshed as soon as he opens his eyes.
Just as he was about to stretch, Langze felt something was wrong.
Huh? Who caught his tail?
He looked down at his side, lifted the quilt, and saw a pair of small hands holding his tail. When he lifted the quilt a little lower, he saw a furry little head.
"Xingxing?" Langze was shocked. "Why are you in my room?"
The child who was woken up sat up wrapped in the quilt, his eyelids half drooping, his expression blank and innocent, looking like he was not awake at all.
He didn't answer, and Langze didn't get upset. Instead, he reached out and rubbed the top of his head, saying happily, "Great, Xingxing, you've turned back into human form!"
Although the kitten is cute, it has completely transformed into a beast after all, which is not good for Xingxing. Langze still hopes that he can change back.
Zheng Xing didn't quite understand what he meant, but he nodded slowly. He felt a little chilly, so he lowered his head again and continued to crawl into the quilt, covering himself completely.
As for why he heard Langze's voice so early in the morning - he was not surprised by this.
After all, ever since he was able to move around freely in the nursery, he had been dragged out of bed by Langze every morning. Although he could have asked the intelligent computer to refuse to open the door for Langze, Zhengxing did not do so.
He hid under the quilt, feeling particularly sleepy today.
"Xingxing, don't sleep! Let's go water the seedlings!"
Langze lifted the quilt and then covered it again.
"Xingxing, where are...your clothes?"
He stuttered for a moment, then remembered that Zheng Xing was in the form of a kitten last night, and quickly felt relieved. Isn't it normal for a kitten to be without clothes?
The little wolf cub jumped off the bed, opened his closet, took out the cub clothes and gestured for a while, then quickly put them back into the closet.
His clothes are too big for the star!
"Wait for me!"
The little wolf cub ran out of the room in a hurry, and after a while, ran back in a hurry. When he came back, he was holding a brand new set of cub clothes in his hands.
"Xingxing, get up and get dressed!"
He ran to the bed, pulled the child out from under the covers, and helped him put the cub suit on.
Zheng Xing sat up dazedly.
"Left hand." Langze said.
He thought for a second, then raised his left hand. Langze put on his sleeve and said, "Right hand."
Zheng Xing thought about it again and raised his right hand hesitantly.
After Langze helped him put on both sides, he pulled them down and threw the pants to him, "Put on your pants yourself."
Zheng Xing was stunned for a moment, yawned, then slowly took up his pants, fumbled awkwardly, and put his feet into the trouser legs.
Seeing how slow he was, Langze, who wanted to go out and play quickly, became very anxious.
But looking at the child's confused and unfocused eyes, he couldn't bear to urge him, so he hurried forward to help him put on his pants.
In the past, Langze would never have thought that he would still have so much patience. Of course, there were many things he had not thought of in the past, and he did not think there was anything wrong with this.
Xingxing is blind, so it is only right that he take better care of him.
Like the healthy and smart Yoyo, although he is also a good friend, it is impossible for him to take care of him so patiently.
After all, you have to do your own things!
Langze helped Zhengxing put on his clothes, then ran into the bathroom, took out a wet towel, and washed the child's face.
The little boy who had just woken up had a rosy face and his skin was smooth, delicate, white and smooth. Langze put his hand on it for comparison and could see the obvious color difference.
"Xingxing, you should get more sun exposure, so that your body will be healthy!" Langze couldn't help but say.
After being tormented by him like this, Zheng Xing finally woke up a little. After hearing Langze's words, he frowned reluctantly, but finally responded in a small voice: "Okay..."
Langze couldn't help but rub Zhengxing's head hard like a zookeeper.
Then, as if he had discovered a new world, he said to Zhengxing, "Xingxing, you've grown a tail! Your tail is different from mine!"
Then he reached out and touched it.
Zhengxing's tail is long and covered with fine black hair. The moment Langze caught it, the originally soft hair suddenly exploded.
“No…don’t…touch…”
Zheng Xing pulled his tail back from the wolf's claws and spoke in a soft, baby voice with a stutter.
Hearing this, Langze curled his lips.
Xingxing is so stingy! He was sleeping with his tail in his arms last night!
However, seeing little Zhengxing holding his tail and looking timid, Langze finally chose to forgive him.
Anyway, he just touched it, so they are even if they each have one!
"Okay, then don't touch me. Let's go out and play!" Langze threw the wet towel on the table, then picked up Xiao Zhengxing and rushed to the corridor like a gust of wind.
For a moment, the corridor was filled with the hearty laughter of young people.
"Langze?" The little wolf cub ran out of the room and met Lu Jiao. The little white deer looked at Zhengxing on his back curiously and asked, "How did Xingxing come out of your room?"
Langze knew that Zhengxing's ability allowed him to enter and exit the room at will, but the other cubs didn't know. When Lu Jiao asked him this, he casually said, "I brought him to my room last night."
Lu Jiao nodded. Xingxing had completely transformed into a beast yesterday, and his situation was rather special, so it was indeed not suitable for him to stay in the room alone.
"Xingxing, do you feel better today?" Lu Jiao asked.
Zheng Xing listened to their conversation and was a little confused.
So he just... woke up in Langze's room, not in his own room?
Hearing Lu Jiao's question, he responded softly, "Yeah."
As for what happened exactly yesterday... Zheng Xing recalled that he only remembered that he went out with everyone to fight monsters, and what happened afterwards... he couldn't remember.
"Would you like to sleep in my room tonight?" Lu Jiao asked. "I can take care of you."
Zheng Xing's little hands tightened instantly and his body became a little stiff. He had not yet recovered from the fact that he had "slept out" last night, let alone sleeping in another person's room tonight.
Fortunately, Langze saved him.
"Oh, let's talk about tonight tonight. We can sleep together then!"
Zheng Xing, who had been slightly relieved by the first half of the sentence, became even more nervous now.
Langze was already carrying him towards the stairwell, "Yoyo, hurry up and catch up!"
Ran Lie, Xue Wei and Lu Li also came out of the room one after another, followed Lang Ze and the others, and went to the restaurant to have breakfast together.
Compared to before, their breakfast now is much richer.
In addition to two star chain fruits, there are also golden taro, jade snow and Yingcui beans to eat. Although the ingredients are put into the food processor by the nanny robot, they are not as delicious as those made by Brother A Yan, but they are much more delicious than the unchanging jelly.
The jelly paired with these stomach-filling staple foods, plus two star chain fruits, is more than enough for the cubs.
They didn’t know that the inspector, who was still on his way back, turned on the video and saw the children eating breakfast contentedly, and was so moved.
He also cut out a part of it and sent it to several nursery directors he knew - the nature of the nurseries was an issue. Although these directors had resigned from the nurseries or refused the job, they still served as childcare consultants.
Sometimes, the inspectors will summarize some of the problems encountered by the breeders and ask these consultants.
Of course, most of the time, the suggestions given by these consultants are not of much reference value, and they are helpless in how to solve the problem of the frenzied cubs.
Later, the inspectors came to see them less and less.
I just didn't expect that after such a long time, this group chat, which had been silent for many days, would have activity again.
After seeing the video sent by the inspector, these principals who are already quite famous in the early childhood education circles of various countries could not help but express their gratitude.
【? 】
【? ? 】
[Is the video showing the Prison Planet's nursery? Is it real?]
[Are these the cubs that always fight? I don't believe it!]
"Xiao Hu, this is boring. What's the point of that composite video fooling people? We're just consultants now, and we won't be evaluating your work."
Supervisor Hu Xi: ???
Seeing this group of people slandering him like this, he couldn't help but reply: [What kind of synthetic video? It's genuine, okay? If you don't believe me, go check it out for yourself! See if there's any adulteration in this video!]
Seeing that he was angry, others came out to smooth things over, and the atmosphere finally eased up again.
[So are these really the cubs from the nursery?] Some people still don't want to believe it.
Supervisor Hu Xi: [Of course it's true! This is all thanks to the new breeder's excellent teaching! I signed yesterday and accepted him as a regular employee early!]
Everyone questioned and asked about the background of this new breeder.
However, at this time, Hu Xi did not continue speaking.
If we continue, it will involve leaks. As an inspector, he still has professional ethics.
Hu Xi: [I'm just sharing the latest educational achievements of the nursery with you. I don't mean anything else. I have other things to do, so I won't talk about it for now.]
After saying this, he left with a proud look on his face, regardless of how these early childhood education experts tried to persuade him to stay.
Hu Xi had long disliked these experts. Although the cubs' problems were indeed serious, weren't the so-called experts supposed to help solve these problems?
Now, there is a real "expert" who can let them know——
The reason they can't teach well isn't because of the cubs, it's simply because... they can't do it!
The experts in the group also saw the subtext of the inspector. Even though they felt speechless and angry, they couldn't say anything to him. After all, he didn't say it explicitly.
But the more this happens, the more angry I get.
They couldn't help but discuss it again in the group, and someone even took the video to do some testing, and finally found that there was indeed no trace of synthesis in the video.
If they can't see anything from the changes in the cubs' behavior and mental outlook in this short three-minute video, then they don't need to be the principals of kindergartens in the capitals of their countries anymore.
But how is this done?
Could it be...that the research institute of Prison Star has done some research and solved the problem of these beast-blooded cubs going berserk?
Wen Qianqi looked at the discussion in the group, his brows already deeply furrowed.
Prison Star Research Institute...
He remembered that a well-known scientist was recently arrested and tried for participating in and organizing multiple human experiments. Although the report did not mention it, he knew that the scientist worked at the Prison Star Research Institute.
Because of this incident, the Prison Star Research Institute has become somewhat notorious in the interstellar academic community...
Just watching the video of the Prison Star Nursery leaked by the Inspector, Wen Qianqi was still in a dilemma.
He closed the group chat and opened the pinned chat interface.
The back view picture on the chat interface is of a young woman holding a baby in her arms, smiling at the camera.
Wen Qianqi stared at the background picture for a long time before finally mustering up the courage to make a video call to the other party.
After a long while, the other party finally answered the call.
The woman's image appeared on the screen. She looked much more haggard and older than in the photo, and her whole body was shrouded in a numb fatigue.
Seeing her like this, Wen Qianqi couldn't help but feel sad. He said, "Xiaoyan..."
Wen Yan didn't look at him, but looked off the screen and said, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"How is Xixi doing recently?" Wen Qianqi asked.
"Let's keep it that way." Wen Yan looked like she didn't want to say more.
Wen Qianqi showed a bit of bitterness on his face. His granddaughter Xixi inherited her father's bloodline. As she grew older, the power of her bloodline gradually emerged, and she also entered a frenzy for the first time last year.
Because of the regulations, even though he was the principal of the kindergarten, he had to send Sissi home to receive home education.
However, Sissi's father died in the line of duty shortly after she was born... The blood connection allows Wen Yan to comfort Sissi when she goes berserk, but for an ordinary person like her, this is a very dangerous thing.
Wen Qianqi has always felt guilty for not being able to solve his granddaughter's problem, and his daughter also has many complaints about him, so their relationship has become increasingly tense.
He thought of the video he had just seen and finally couldn't help but say, "I just learned from the Inspector of Prison Star..."
Before he could finish, Wen Yan started crying, "Please stop talking, I don't want to hear about this place."
After saying that, Wen Yan hung up the phone.
Wen Qianqi sighed, but he didn't blame her in his heart. He knew very well why she was so sensitive, because...
His son-in-law, Sissi's father, died there...
Thinking back to the man who was calm and outstanding in all aspects, Wen Qianqi sighed deeply, forwarded the video he had just copied from the group to his daughter, and explained the situation to her.
Those who have left have left forever, and those who are still alive must continue to live...
Prison Star, nursery.
The children didn't know anything about anything outside of Prison Star, and they weren't interested in it for the time being.
As usual, they walked around the nursery building and ran towards the green area with the most lush vegetation at the back. When they passed the water purification pool, little Zhengxing, who was lying on Langze's shoulder, suddenly raised his head.
He turned towards the pool, and Langze, who was running very fast, suddenly stopped.
In the pool, a pair of eyes filled with malice opened silently.
The water demon looked at the child on the shore. After being tortured by the water purification array for a whole night, a lot of its resentment was purified, but its anger value accumulated to the extreme.
The "keeper" didn't let it leave the pool, but didn't say that other creatures couldn't come down to accompany it, right?
