Chapter Sixty-Five: Adoption
The abilities formed from the energy of the sparks are differentiated, but hers are not; she possesses all the abilities of the sparks.
She was a little puzzled. If her body hadn't been replaced, why didn't she have this energy when she was on Earth?
Could it be that her energy was activated in this world?
Anuo couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she put it aside and stopped thinking about it.
It was still raining outside. After studying for a while, she played with toys with Huo Yin. Wu Sui and the others would bring her some toys every day to make sure she never got tired of playing with them.
Huo Yin wasn't interested in the toys; he just wanted to keep Anno company.
Logan and Tang Ting watched the two children playing together while they sat down to handle some work matters, mainly dealing with Anno's preparations for returning home and some news about the rebels.
They were supposed to go back tomorrow, but because of what the rebels did last night, they will have to postpone it for a few more days.
They had to be absolutely certain that nothing would go wrong on the way back to the main planet. Since they picked up the baby from Casa Star, there had been several kidnapping incidents. The baby's body was so weak, and if they continued to put the baby through this ordeal, something was bound to go wrong.
Besides Anno's matter, there's also Huo Yin's adoption.
Huo Yin's situation is rather special. He is a beast-like mutant with highly unstable genes, and his mental power is in a state where it can erupt at any time.
Tang Ting read his medical report. Even though Anno had purified his mental energy with energy, it could not eradicate the violent factors in his body, which was the most dangerous reason for the beast-like mutants.
Tang Ting and the department in charge of adoptions had held several online meetings to discuss the matter. Based on Huo Yin's high genetic grade, which had already reached grade A at the age of eight, and the fact that his genes were currently in a relatively stable phase, they decided to have him adopted by military families with high genetic grades.
He should be cared for by a military family, so that any problems he encounters in the future will be easier to resolve. Only a military family can take care of a beast-like mutant.
As for who will adopt, it will be decided by drawing lots from the military families who voluntarily adopt.
Many military families participate in the lottery because there are quite a few precedents of mutated alien species, and families with military backgrounds always take the initiative to accept some special children.
They are either very fragile children like Anno, or very difficult children with special circumstances.
While preparing for the lottery, Tang Ting discussed his adoption with Huo Yin.
Huo Yin said indifferently, "Anyone is fine, as long as I can be with Nuonuo."
Hearing Huo Yin's words, Anuo looked up from the puzzle and looked at Tang Ting, "Dad."
Tang Ting rarely heard Anuo call him "Dad," so he quickly responded and sat down next to her. "What's wrong, baby?"
Anno organized her thoughts and slowly asked, "Can I adopt Huo Yin?"
After saying that, she added, "I'll listen to you, Huo Yin will listen to you, it's no trouble."
She knew that Tang Ting and his family were capable of raising another child, and since Huo Yin depended on her so much, why not let him grow up in the same adoptive family as her?
But this matter still requires Tang Ting and the others' consent; she was just asking for their opinion first.
Before Tang Ting could answer Anuo, Huo Yin spoke first, "No."
He firmly refused, and fearing that Anuo would be unhappy, he held her hand and said in a softer voice, "I have someone to adopt me, so don't worry."
Anuo hadn't expected Huo Yin to refuse so readily. She asked, "You don't want to be my brother?"
She can use interrogative sentences now, and she emphasizes the last syllable of each sentence, which, combined with her soft voice, makes her sound a little aggrieved.
Actually, Anuo was just asking out of curiosity.
But Huo Yin heard the urgency in her tone and said, "Nono, don't be angry, that's not what I meant."
His tail coiled around her wrist, and he grabbed her hand and pressed it against his face. "I'm yours. You can have me as anything you want."
Anno: "Then, brother."
Seeing Huo Yin's somewhat helpless expression, Tang Ting and Luo Jin tried their best to suppress their laughter.
How come this little beast has so many clever ideas at such a young age, and it's quite thoughtful?
They were both over a hundred years old, and their children's thoughts were crystal clear to them.
Luo Jin bent down and carried Anuo to the sofa, smiling as he said to her, "Nuonuo, be good. A family can only adopt a maximum of seven children. You happen to be the seventh baby in the family, so Huo Yin can only go to another adoptive family."
Tang Ting also said, "Don't worry, Nuonuo, Huo Yin's adoptive family is also on the main star, so you can meet often."
Anuo nodded. She had no worries. Since Huo Yin himself didn't want to be her brother, she didn't say anything more.
Huo Yin was afraid that Anuo would be angry, so he cautiously rubbed his tail against her hand.
Anno grabbed the tip of his tail and smiled at him.
Seeing her smile, Huo Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He could be her brother, but not in the name of the same family. He didn't know why he had this thought. When Anno brought it up, he refused almost without thinking; it was completely subconscious.
In the afternoon, after Anuo took a nap, Wu Sui and Li Yue brought Tuka and the other children over.
Tuka and the others kept insisting on seeing the little cubs, so after getting Luo Jin and the others' permission, Wu Sui brought the children over.
As soon as they arrived, the room became lively. A group of children gathered together, laughing and playing. Li Yue and Wu Sui helped take care of the children, while Tang Ting and Luo Jin made food for them.
The children played until evening, and after dinner, Wu Sui and Li Yue took them back.
Huo Yin refused to leave no matter what. Luo Jin watched as Anuo and he lay on the doll watching a video together, with Anuo occasionally feeding him fruit. He and Tang Ting exchanged a helpless glance.
"If we didn't only have one adoption slot left, I would have adopted this brat too," Locke said half-jokingly.
Tang Ting put his arm around her waist. "He's not stupid. Didn't you see him saying he didn't want to come to our house during the day?"
Lokin shook his head and chuckled, "This brat, at such a young age, he already knows..."
She didn't say the rest of her words. She knew that Huo Yin relied on Nuonuo so much because of Nuonuo's influence.
After letting the two children play for a while, Luo Jin took Anuo to take a bath. They originally wanted to bathe Huo Yin as well, but he said he could take a bath on his own, so they didn't bathe him.
However, while he was taking a shower in the bathroom, Tang Ting still went in to check on him, feeling uneasy.
I only felt relieved to come out after seeing that he could take a bath independently.
When Huo Yin came out after taking a shower, Luo Jin was still drying Anuo's hair. Huo Yin also had long hair, and the person taking care of him hadn't cut it yet.
Tang Ting also took the hairdryer and helped him blow-dry his long hair. The two children sat quietly together, so well-behaved that the couple, who had been "tortured" by six naughty children, kept thinking to themselves, "They are so well-behaved!"
After drying their hair, Anno started to feel sleepy, so Lokin handed Anno the prepared baby bottle and let the two children sleep together.
Anuo fell asleep on the bed before she finished drinking. Huo Yin watched her for a long time, feeling her shallow breathing, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep as well.
Huo Yin had no dreams all night, or rather, he didn't have any dreams at all.
When he falls asleep, his consciousness returns to another body.
Caesar, far away in a palace on a planet, opened his eyes. He stared at the high ceiling above him, and a slow smile crept onto his lips.
