Chapter 178 Caught Between Two Huge Secrets
Although he had learned from the He family's genetic research institute that long-extinct humans might have entered the orc society, and he had several friends around him who had human genes, Xin Le could never have imagined that the humans that the He and Jiang families had been looking for would actually appear in the third kindergarten.
The fact that Zhong Yousheng was a human being was too shocking for him, but when he thought about it carefully, everything seemed to make sense.
He shows strong love and care for the cubs and beast-formed people. He cannot transform into an ant beastman and cannot go to the beastman hospital.
Thinking back to what happened yesterday when the Andean vulture orcs appeared, the fragile herbivorous orcs were arranged to hide in the guard room. According to Zhong Yousheng's understanding of himself, he should have hidden with them as well. However, since there had never been an ant orc around him, he and his companions forgot that the other party was just an ant that could be easily crushed to death.
If she turned into a beast, she would die without knowing it, and when she turned into a human, Zhong Yousheng was just a skinny little girl.
But she insisted on protecting the cub, as if her family had never taught her how to get along in the orc society. Even though she was afraid, she faced the danger head-on. In the end, she was so scared that her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to go to the hospital.
"The fever is too high, we need to go to the hospital!" Ruan Hongling and others also came along. Seeing Lin Yanrong helping Zhong Yousheng up and feeding him medicine, but the other party couldn't swallow the medicine smoothly, she looked extremely worried as a mother.
This time, before Zhong Yousheng could speak, Xin Le was the first to speak nervously: "We can't go to the hospital!"
When everyone else looked at him in confusion, Xin Le hesitated for a long time before finally finding an excuse: "We weak orcs have low immunity. Teacher Zhong didn't want to go to the hospital before because he was afraid that taking medicine and injections would reduce his drug resistance. What if he gets seriously ill in the future and the medicine and injections are useless? That would be terrible!"
Xin Le's expression was so serious that everyone was really scared by him.
Ruan Hongling also thought about it and nodded, "That makes sense. Xiao Zhong looks thin and weak. He must have been frightened yesterday. Just like Youyou, he developed a fever after a while. As long as he can take the medicine and rest, we'll see how he gets."
Her daughter is about the same age as Zhong Yousheng. She used to get sick when she was busy. In fact, Ruan Hongling is quite experienced in taking care of patients with fever.
"I'll feed her the medicine. I'll go to the kitchen to cook some porridge later so that Teacher Zhong won't go hungry when she wakes up." As she said that, she took Zhong Yousheng from Lin Yanrong's arms, broke off another piece of antipyretic medicine, and then skillfully stuffed it into Zhong Yousheng's mouth.
Xin Le had already handed the water cup to the two older colleagues. Seeing that Zhong Yousheng finally swallowed the pills this time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When I looked up, I saw my good friend Chi Nian looking at me with a curious expression.
However, after the two looked at each other, Chi Nian said, "Let's not gather here anymore. Teacher Zhong has already taken the medicine. Let her have a good rest."
But Zhong Yousheng's condition wasn't good, and he still needed someone to look after him, so Xin Le said directly, "Excuse me, everyone. I'll stay here and take care of Teacher Zhong. Let's go eat first."
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he said it, not only did Chi Nian's expression become more complicated, but even Lin Yanrong and Ruan Hongling's expressions became inquiring.
A man and a woman alone in a room together, even if Xin Le was interested in Zhong Yousheng, was that even reasonable? How long had they known each other? Even if they were close, they couldn't be so "close."
Ruan Hongling wanted to reject Xin Le's application and stay, but Chi Nian glanced at her friend's expression for a few seconds, then pursed her lips and said, "Let Xin Le stay. He and Teacher Zhong get along well, and Teacher Zhong doesn't seem to be against him. Teacher Zhong is sick now, and Xin Le won't take advantage of her."
Lin Yanrong and Ruan Hongling looked at each other. Seeing that Chi Nian was speaking up for Xin Le, they were certain that Xin Le probably liked Zhong Yousheng.
They would not be the elders who would forcibly separate a couple, and they had all seen how well the two children got along. Although they were not compatible in terms of pedigree, as long as they were happy, that was all that mattered.
"That's it, you are a careful boy, remember to take good care of Teacher Zhong, and contact us in time if anything happens." Ruan Hongling relaxed.
Lin Yanrong also said: "But if the high fever persists in the afternoon, we must send Teacher Zhong to the hospital."
Xin Le nodded, thinking that even if he really couldn't do it by then, he had to do it. Compared to dying of a fever, it would be cheaper to have his human identity discovered.
After Chi Nian and the others left, Xin Le closed the dormitory door and sat down beside Zhong Yousheng's bed.
Zhong Yousheng, who had taken the medicine, showed his face again. His face was still red, but his brows were relaxed and he looked like he had fallen asleep again.
Xin Le stared at Zhong Yousheng's face for a while. No wonder no one noticed that she was a human. If she had never transformed into a beast form in her life, she would indeed be exactly the same as the beastman who had turned into a human form now.
After a while, Xin Le took Zhong Yousheng's phone out of his pocket again.
There were many more missed calls and text messages——
Why didn't you answer the phone? Were you injured yesterday? You're really driving your mother crazy!
Your father is already planning to drive to the capital. Why are you so worrying to us, kid?
Did you hear me call back as soon as I saw the text message?
Although the text messages were folded together, Xin Le still read all the contents. Seeing the anxiety from a mother, if the situation was not wrong, he would have wanted to help Zhong Yousheng call her mother back.
He accidentally discovered Zhong Yousheng's secret, which could subvert the entire orc society, so he knew how important it was.
But on the other hand, the He family's genetic research institute is looking for human whereabouts. His good friend Chi Nian is also an orc with human genes, and he has also signed a confidentiality agreement on this.
Xin Le is now having a splitting headache as he tries to hide his human identity while temporarily concealing any traces of human presence in the orc society. He is caught between these two huge secrets and is at a loss as to what to do.
After all, he was only 24 years old and had graduated from college for two years. Before coming to the Third Kindergarten in his later years, he was still an unknown kindergarten slave.
In just over two months, he had to hide secrets for both the orc and human societies!
The more Xin Le thought about it, the more headache he got. He walked to the side and poured himself a glass of water. His restless mood finally calmed down a little.
He began to think about what to do next. As an orc who had signed a confidentiality agreement with the Genetic Research Institute, he was obligated to report the discovery of humans, but he was not sure what actions and judgments He Rongan and others would take against Zhong Yousheng.
Zhong Yousheng, on the other hand, wanted to know what the humans were thinking. Where would they live after the disaster on Blue Planet? Why would they infiltrate the Orc Planet?
It’s not too late to make a decision once you know the answers.
