Chapter Twenty-Seven: I Want to Hear
Anuo understood what Tang Ting said. Looking at the items displayed in front of her, she used her finger to select the one that looked pleasing to the eye.
After she made her selection, Tang Ting moved her to the next page. Anuo didn't know what Tang Ting wanted to do, but she still patiently followed his instructions.
After she made her choice, Tang Ting smiled and patted her head, "Good girl."
Anuo tilted her head slightly, but still couldn't avoid Tang Ting's large hand. Hearing him call her "good baby" in that gentle and magnetic voice, she pursed her lips and swayed her leg to hide the unease in her heart.
A strange feeling welled up inside her. She felt uncomfortable listening to it, but deep down she felt a little happy and even wanted to listen more.
Although she has never been a "good child" from childhood to adulthood.
But this is the first time someone has called her baby, as if she can still have the experiences of a normal child, with parents, a family, and even siblings, and she can grow up normally like a child.
She glanced up at Tang Ting, who was intently studying the test chart, before turning her gaze to Luo Jin, who was preparing formula.
They looked very young, not at all like people who already had children as old as Hicks. In fact, they looked about the same age as Hicks, but they had a calm and composed demeanor that came with age. Even if Hicks stood next to them, Anno would not have considered them to be the same age.
Looking at the two people in front of her, Anno had an unrealistic idea.
They said they were taking her to a safe place, to a new home, to... to adopt her?
When she was only five or six years old, she always hoped that someone would adopt her, even if it was just so that there would be one more person to help her with chores and take her in. That way, she would have a shelter, a place to hide from the wind and rain, and a full meal when she was hungry.
But such a wish is too unrealistic in the apocalypse. She has no mutated genes and is just an ordinary human being. It's just that her appearance makes her seem like a mutant. After all, no one is born with pink and blonde hair, and her eyes are different from the blue eyes of ordinary people.
Adopting an ordinary child without mutated abilities would only add to the burden for people in the apocalypse.
She is not a mutant, and she cannot blend in with ordinary people.
But after she was reborn in this world, she saw all sorts of different beautiful hair colors and eye colors, and she could also sense that they had a unique energy that could be very harmoniously integrated with her own energy.
At this moment, she felt as if this was the world she belonged in, no longer feeling out of place with the people in the post-apocalyptic world of Earth as she had before.
Luo Jin prepared the formula, dripped a few drops of milk on the back of her hand to test the temperature, and then picked up the bottle to feed the baby. As soon as she turned around, she saw the baby looking at her. After their eyes met, the baby immediately lowered its eyes.
Seeing the little baby's adorable little movements, she raised an eyebrow slightly, walked over to her, and handed her the bottle with a smile.
The rich aroma of milk instantly roused Anno's hunger. She grabbed the bottle, eager to drink, but upon seeing the nipple, she tried to unscrew it. After several attempts, she handed it to Lokin, saying, "Open..."
Lokin raised six cubs, but each of the cubs in front of her behaved differently from the cubs she had raised before, bringing her a sense of novelty at all times, and also a kind of cuteness that was different from ordinary cubs.
Seeing the little baby holding a bottle and asking her to open it, she smiled, took it, and unscrewed the bottle for her.
Anuo held the bottle in both hands, wanting to drink it in big gulps, but because she was still sick, her muscles would tremble uncontrollably from time to time. As soon as she poured the milk into her mouth, her hands trembled twice, spilling most of the milk.
If Luo Jin hadn't caught the bottle in time, she would have dropped the whole bottle on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Tang Ting quickly grabbed some tissues from the table and, together with Luo Jin, helped wipe the milk stains off her body.
Most of the milk spilled on Anuo, even soaking her little bra. She'll have to give her a bath later.
"Baby, be good, let's drink from the bottle."
Lokin filled the bottle again, screwed the nipple back on, and handed it to Anno.
Anno stared at the pacifier for a while, but didn't resist it much. She just turned her back to Luo Jin and the others to drink it.
Lokin and Tangting exchanged a glance, both seeing a barely suppressed smile in each other's eyes. Hicks said that she was different from other children her age; she had a sense of shame and would avoid adults when it came to private matters like bathing and using the toilet.
Both Lokin and Tangting saw that the tips of the light ribbons fluttering behind Anno's ears turned red, a sign that the Fire Seed was shy.
The two were quite surprised and found it both cute and amusing that the little baby was embarrassed to drink milk from a pacifier.
Luo Jin said to Tang Ting, "It's over. I don't think I want to let anyone else raise the baby anymore."
Tang Ting raised an eyebrow and joked, "Then let's not pay, and let Eve do us a favor?"
Lokin smiled and shook her head. She wouldn't use her sister for personal gain. She still maintained that no matter which family adopted the cub, she would still love her as her own child.
After quickly finishing her milk, Anno returned the bottle to Luo Jin. Luo Jin got up to wash the bottle and discovered that Anno had bitten a large slit in the middle of the nipple.
A pang of heartache welled up inside her. Look how hungry the little one is! No wonder she opened the bottle to drink; it wasn't just because she felt embarrassed, but also because it would make him drink faster.
After Anuo finished drinking her milk, Tang Ting began to examine her broken teeth, and Luo Jin also took some external injury medicine from the medicine box to apply to Tang Ting's ear.
Anno bit his ear very hard, and the edge of the bite was bleeding. However, since her teeth hadn't fully grown in, although the bite was hard, his ear wasn't seriously injured.
Anno watched as Luo Jin applied medicine to Tang Ting, pursed her lips, and a tiny energy surged from her body. As Luo Jin continued to apply the medicine, the wound on Tang Ting's ear healed.
Luo Jin was taken aback for a moment: "Huh? Tang Ting, when did your recovery ability become so fast?"
Tang Ting pinched her calf, "It's the baby's energy."
After saying that, Tang Ting patiently explained to Anuo, "Baby, you can't use the energy in your body right now. This is for protecting you. You can use it when you grow up and are healthier."
Anno lowered her eyes, swung her leg, and replied, "Mm."
Looking at her obedient appearance, Tang Ting affectionately patted her head. "We will teach you how to use energy later. You are still small now, so we should protect you. You don't need to do anything or worry about anything. Just grow up well."
