Chapter 226: A Couple with Weird Feelings
Fortunately, Zhong Yousheng and his companions did not stay in the normal cub area for long, because a guest without an appointment suddenly came to visit and said that he wanted to see the cubs in Orphanage No. 2.
Shen Linglan agreed to accompany the third kindergarten this time, so she handed the accompanying work to the employees below, and took Zhong Yousheng and the other two into the orc cub area.
Seeing the familiar cubs, Zhong Yousheng finally felt that things were right!
The cubs were also very excited to see her. A smile appeared on her face again. She took the Maltese cub that rushed towards her into her arms and then put it on the ground.
Ying Lian and Xin Le felt the change in Zhong Yousheng's mood. Fortunately, the other party did not show it too obviously just now, otherwise Shen Linglan would have noticed something.
"Why did you get here so soon?" Seeing Xin Le and the others, Chi Nian asked curiously.
But before his colleague could answer, he heard Shen Linglan explain: “We only moved the location because a guest came unexpectedly.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhong Yousheng and said with a smile, "It seems that Teacher Zhong particularly likes cubs."
In fact, the two of them had not spoken much in the area with normal orc cubs just now. Shen Linglan's sudden conversation made Zhong Yousheng inexplicably feel a little nervous.
She began to think about her actions, and only after she was sure that she had done nothing wrong did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's because I like puppies that I became a kindergarten teacher." Zhong Yousheng was soon surrounded by several puppies. While replying to Shen Linglan's words, she played with the puppies.
Shen Linglan smiled meaningfully, then changed the topic to the third kindergarten.
"Although we've just started volunteering, the cubs here really like you. You're worthy of being the Third Kindergarten."
This flattery made Chi Nian and Xin Le stunned. They looked at Shen Linglan, who was looking at the three-flowered cub in Jiang Rangzhi's arms.
The Persian cat An An calmly blocked Shen Linglan's gaze towards her three-flowered sister with her animal form. After lying down, she meowed and began to lick her paws.
Shen Linglan looked away again and looked at Su Xin, the subordinate who had just stood beside her. She said embarrassedly, "It seems that Su Xin and I have disturbed you. Please leave us alone and continue to cultivate your relationship with the cubs."
After saying that, she was very self-aware and pulled Suxin to find a place to sit down.
Xin Le's expression almost couldn't hold back. To be honest, Shen Linglan and the other person were very annoying here. If they really felt disturbed, leaving would be the right choice.
It seems that the dean really wants to monitor them.
But it doesn't matter. We are just testing each other. It depends on who shows up first.
Several people started playing with the cubs, and when the Anglo mink Xiaoyan saw Yinglian, he quickly rushed to Yinglian.
Hearing Xiao Yan's apology and thanks, Ying Lian got goose bumps all over her body. She laughed out loud and put her hand into Xiao Yan's armpits to lift the cub up.
"Why are you so cute? This is what adults should do. If you are wronged in the future, you can tell me. Anyway, I will come here with your brother Xiao Chi every Saturday."
Ying Lian put Xiao Yan on the ground. Xiao Yan looked much more cheerful than last week and was still giggling when he was lifted into the air.
Finally, I gradually got used to treating Shen Linglan and Su Xin as transparent people, and the accident happened at this time.
A group of people suddenly came outside the activity classroom, led by the dean's assistant who was instructed by Shen Linglan to take the guests on a tour.
Because the door of the activity room was not closed, Chi Nian and his group saw a young couple behind the assistant.
This is a strange pairing, because the man looks timid and the woman looks more assertive, but judging from the smell, both of them should be carnivorous orcs.
Before the assistant and the dean could finish their conversation, the female orc walked into the activity room, glanced around, and then said, "Is today the volunteer activity day for the Third Kindergarten? Excuse me, my husband and I would like to see the orc cubs. Do you mind?"
Chi Nian and the others certainly didn't mind, but they always felt that the attitude of this female orc was very bad.
Shen Linglan’s expression was not good either. She smiled and stepped forward to ask, “Are the normal cubs in our yard unpleasant?”
It was actually very hurtful to say this in front of the cubs in the activity classroom. Even Chi Nian frowned in disagreement, but the cubs seemed to be used to it.
And when they heard that the adoptive family wanted to come and see the half-orc cubs, several little cubs who were particularly eager for family affection looked obediently at the young couple, as if this would help them gain the favor of the adoptive family.
Xin Le couldn't help but ask, "Why are you interested in a cub that failed to transform?"
He subconsciously felt that the couple had bad intentions, otherwise he would not have gotten involved.
For him, the possibility of a half-orc cub being adopted was actually a good thing, but what if this couple had special hobbies like Xiao Yan's previous adoptive family, then...
"I heard there is an Anglo mink here. My husband is an Anglo mink orc. My marriage to him was forced by my family, so I will not give birth to children for him." The female orc glanced at Xin Le coldly.
Xin Le didn't know what the other party's beast form was, but at this moment all the hairs on his arms stood up.
The kids around were also frightened, and Jiang Rangzhi and Ying Lian immediately stepped forward to be wary of each other.
They didn't expect that the couple came because of Xiao Yan. Everything seemed to be normal, but considering what An An said about the second adoption last week, they had to wonder whether this was a play put on by the other party in cooperation with the orphanage.
However, Shen Linglan immediately put on a smile after hearing the female orc's words, and then looked at Xiao Yan who was hiding aside.
"Yes, Xiao Yan is an Anglo Marten orc. Although he failed to transform, he has a good personality." She promoted Xiao Yan, who was put in solitary confinement for injuring someone last week, like a salesperson.
Hearing what Shen Linglan said, Xiao Yan became nervous and immediately hid behind Ying Lian, "I don't want to leave the orphanage, I don't want to be adopted..."
Ying Lian protected him behind her and said, "Special families shouldn't be able to have adoption rights, right?"
The special family here refers to a combination of a herbivore and a carnivore family under an abnormal relationship. Although this couple is not one of them, they don't look normal either.
"My wife and I are both carnivorous beastmen." At this time, the male beastman who had been hiding behind his wife spoke tremblingly: "We consulted a lawyer and have the right to adopt."
Compared to her good-tempered husband, the female orc was obviously more irritable. Seeing that the non-staff members were asking questions, she immediately said, "We want this Anglian mink. We can start the adoption process right away."
Everyone was stunned, including Jiang Rangzhi.
It wasn't until An An transformed into a human form, hugged Xiao Yan, and glared at the oppressive female orc with bared teeth that Shen Linglan came to her senses and said with a smile: "Of course! I'll take Xiao Yan with me now..."
"Dean Shen! How could you send Xiao Yan away so carelessly?!"
Seeing that Shen Linglan was planning to hand Xiao Yan over to this strange couple without doing any background checks, Chi Nian panicked.
Shen Linglan didn't think anything of it. Instead, she said, "They've already consulted a lawyer and have adoption rights. They seem to be a good family. Orcs who fail to transform are difficult to adopt out. This is a good thing for Xiaoyan."
Ying Lian was speechless after hearing this, but she still protected Xiao Yan and didn't let anyone else get close.
The female orc didn't know what medicine she had taken wrong. She kept looking at her watch. Seeing that the people from the orphanage were still arguing with the people from the third kindergarten, she asked again, "Can we do it today?"
Shen Linglan immediately replied: "Yes, yes, Lin Jing, you take the guests to the dean's office first, I will come later."
Upon hearing this, the dean's assistant quickly took the couple out of the activity room.
Shen Linglan looked at everyone in the Third Kindergarten and said earnestly, "Director Jiang, you know there are monthly work quotas. We haven't reached our adoption quota in a long time. There's really nothing we can do."
Although she was speaking to Jiang Rangzhi, Ying Lian spoke up at this moment: "If this couple had wanted to adopt Xiao Yan for a long time, why did they go to the place with the normal cubs in the first place? Were we driven here because of them?"
The question hit the nail on the head. Not only Shen Linglan, but also Su Xin felt that there was indeed something wrong.
However, Shen Linglan quickly responded, "Although we came here with a purpose, everyone wants to adopt a normal cub, right? You also heard from that lady that she didn't marry her husband voluntarily. Perhaps she prefers normal cubs to cubs of the same species as her husband?"
This is not impossible, but this couple is really weird. The wife is obviously more powerful, so why did she adopt a half-orc cub with the same beast form as her husband?
With her aura, she doesn't seem like an orc who would have her life controlled.
