Chapter 116
After Xiao Luli left the restaurant, Xiao Xuewei continued to struggle to finish the remaining nutrient porridge.
When 4586 came in to clean up, she took the opportunity to ask, "4586, do you know where the other cubs are? I want to go find them."
"Dear Weiwei, the other cubs are currently in the green area behind the nursery building," 4586 said. "Wait a moment. I'll take you there after I've packed up my things, okay?"
"OK."
Xiao Xuewei nodded obediently, then took the initiative to say, "Let me help you."
Since being forced to leave her homeland and losing her parents on the run, Xiao Xuewei has grown up a lot overnight.
Although not a lot of time had passed, it was enough for her to realize that no one in the world would take her kindness for granted.
Even when facing the nanny robot, she did not forget this.
"Thank you, Weiwei, you are so cute!" 4586 praised in an exaggerated tone.
Xiao Xuewei smiled and thought that the nanny robot in the nursery was very special. It seemed different from the robots she had come into contact with before and seemed more humane.
When 4586 led her out of the nursery building and turned a corner to the back of the building, Xiao Xuewei was surprised to find that there was such a place in the nursery.
Her arrival also attracted the attention of the cubs.
Little Langze was still learning to count with Youyou. Perhaps stimulated by the Star Chain Fruit, his enthusiasm for learning was aroused. In just one morning, he memorized the method of counting within ten.
At this moment, he is advancing towards counting in tens digits.
Before Xiao Xuewei turned the corner, Xiao Langze, who had been concentrating on his studies, suddenly sniffed hard.
Sweet taste...
The candies that Xiao Xuewei put in paper bags were all wrapped in candy wrappers. Logically speaking, even if there was any flavor, it would only be a faint smell and it would be impossible for it to spread so far.
However, little Langze smelled it.
The wind brought the wonderful smell over, gently brushing past his nose, instantly drawing all of Xiao Langze's attention away.
Xiao Lujiao's voice suddenly became background noise. He turned his head to look in the direction of the smell and happened to see 4586 bringing Xiao Xuewei to the green land.
"Ah, newcomer?"
Little Langze tilted his head as he looked at the strange girl walking next to 4586.
Hearing this, Xiaolu Jiao stopped teaching and looked over curiously. She saw a girl with rabbit ears walking towards her from the corner with a strange paper bag in her arms.
"Yo yo, her hair is the same as yours, also white!" said little Langze.
Xiaolu Jiao nodded, "Her ferocious beast bloodline should be rabbit."
"Rabbit?" Little Langze expressed doubt. "Can a rabbit be called a ferocious beast?"
He had seen rabbits before. They were raised in the pirates' base. They were white and soft, not very aggressive, and usually ate feed.
Little Langze's first reaction was incomprehension as to why such a cute little animal was called a ferocious beast, but... looking at Yoyo beside him, it didn't seem so strange.
After all, those who can be sent to the brooding center basically have something special.
Thinking this, Xiao Langze stood up and walked over.
The Red Flame Tiger, who was squatting on the ground with his eyes closed and silently reciting the mantra, moved his ears slightly. He gently opened one eyelid, took a look, and then closed it again with no interest.
For him, the second oldest cub, the arrival of new cubs was not unusual, and nothing was more important than his training right now.
It was similar for Rong Heng. He concentrated on memorizing the mantras of the mental method. With the help of the base's intelligent computer, he no longer needed his sister to recite them to him, making it easier for him to remember.
And little pear flower...
She was painting the flower buds of the Star Chain Fruit with a paintbrush, completely absorbed in herself and not noticing the changes in the outside world, let alone Xiao Xuewei's arrival.
Xiao Xuewei's gaze quickly shifted from the green plants to the other cubs.
She became a little nervous.
The little fat bird hiding in her pocket suddenly chirped and poked its head out, startling Xiao Xuewei.
She quickly pushed it back and whispered to it not to come out. The little fat bird could only reluctantly shrink back into its pocket, with its chubby butt facing upwards, sulking.
"Are you new here?"
At this time, an unfamiliar voice sounded. Xiao Xuewei turned around and saw a young man who was a little tall and strong for her. He came to her side at some point.
He bent down slightly and came closer, sniffing.
Xiao Xuewei couldn't help but hug the paper bag tightly in her arms and took a step back nervously. She looked at the wolf-eared boy and said shyly, "Hello, I'm the new number nine. My name is Xuewei."
Seeing her take the initiative to introduce herself, little Langze couldn't help but scratch his head. It seemed that there was no such link when he came to the nursery.
However, he had a good impression of the new girl.
"Hello, I'm No. 8, you can call me Langze." He grinned and said cheerfully.
"Hello, Langze..."
Xiao Xuewei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take out the gift when she saw another little boy with short silver hair walking towards her.
He has a pair of small antlers on his forehead, which looks very cute.
The little wolf cub also noticed the arrival of his friend. He hugged the little Lu Jiao and said, "This is Number Seven. His full name is Lu Jiao."
Then he pointed at little Xuewei and said to Lu Jiao, "Yoyo, her name is Xuewei. Look, I'm right, isn't she white and soft?"
The strangest thing was that she had a sweet fragrance on her body. Little Langze was very puzzled because he remembered that the rabbits he had raised before all smelled very smelly.
Of course, he was no longer the little wolf cub he used to be, so he didn't say this out loud.
Despite this, the little white deer still gave him a sidelong glance. The little boy said seriously, "Langze, it's very rude to comment on others in front of them."
Then he looked at Xiao Xuewei and said very friendly: "Hello Xuewei, I'm Lu Jiao, you can call me Yoyo."
"Hello!"
The girl's cheeks turned red because of what Xiao Langze said just now. She was a little embarrassed at first, but after Lu Jiao talked to Xiao Langze, she felt better again.
Xiao Xuewei took out a candy box from a paper bag, handed it to Xiao Lujiao, and said, "This is my gift to you. I hope you like it."
Xiaolu Jiao took the box with some surprise.
Little Langze next to him was still unconvinced. He felt that he was not wrong. This new girl gave people the impression of being white and soft.
He was just telling the truth, how could that be rude?
However, when he saw what Xiao Xuewei gave to Xiao Lu, he couldn't help but come closer, move his nose, his eyes lit up, and blurted out: "Is this food? It smells sweet."
So the sweet fragrance he just smelled was this gift?
Xiao Xuewei nodded.
It’s really edible! And it’s most likely sugar!
Little Langze was immediately envious. How come he was the first one to come over and say hello, but he didn’t have a small gift, but Yoyo had one?
He thought of what Xiao Lujiao had just said to him, and the flexible wolf cub immediately said to Xiao Xuewei, "I'm sorry for what I did just now. I didn't mean it."
Xiao Xuewei looked at his carefree appearance, but she wasn't really angry. She said in a good-tempered manner, "Yeah, I know."
Then, she took out a candy box from the paper bag and said, "This is for you. Please take care of me in the future."
Little Langze took the candy box and cheered immediately. Especially when he opened the box and saw five different candies inside, he couldn't help but say, "Xuewei, you are so kind! Thank you!"
Xiao Xuewei curled her lips and smiled shyly and cutely.
Seeing that they had successfully established a preliminary friendly social relationship, she continued, "Can you take me to meet the other cubs?"
"Of course! Let's go!"
Little Langze skipped back with the candy box in his hand, but when he got back to where he started, he found that little Zhengxing was gone.
He was not panicked. He looked around and found his figure under the most lush branches and leaves of the star chain fruit in the corner of the wall.
Perhaps she noticed his gaze, and her feet, which were slightly exposed and wearing the smallest size baby shoes, shrank back in.
Xiao Lujiao also noticed this scene. He was about to say something when Xiao Langze ran over.
"Xingxing, why are you here?" The strong little wolf cub grabbed the petite kitten and pulled it out.
Xiaolu Jiao opened her mouth, but finally decided to give up.
Anyway, it's always like this. No matter how Xingxing hides, Langze will eventually find her and drag her out regardless of anything. Despite this, Xingxing never gets angry.
Moreover, his personality is obviously more cheerful than before and he is not as introverted as before.
So this is... a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten?
"Look, Xingxing, the newcomer Xuewei gave me five delicious candies! And... and each one is different..."
At this point, the wolf cub's expression became conflicted.
Each one is different, which means each one has a different flavor. He wants to try them all! But...
"How about we each take half of each?" the boy discussed with Xiao Zhengxing.
He was going to take a bite himself and give the rest to Xiao Zhengxing so that both of them could have some delicious candy!
Xiao Zhengxing also smelled the sweet candy scent, but it was accompanied by the scent of a stranger. He shook his head, turned around and wanted to continue hiding.
Thinking he wouldn't agree, Little Langze could only mumble, "Then...then I'll give you those two. Can you lick them for me and see how they taste?"
The little wolf cub was never one to let himself be wronged, so out of the five candies, he planned to give two to Xiao Zhengxing and keep three for himself.
As for Xiaolu Jiao, he already had a gift of his own, so there was no need to share his.
Xiao Xuewei heard their conversation and couldn't help but walk over. Looking at the child with obvious eye problems, she softly said, "Is your name Xingxing? I'm Xuewei, and I have a gift for you, too."
Then she took out Xiao Zhengxing's gift from the paper bag and handed it to him.
Xiao Zhengxing held his metal ball and did not reach out to take it. Instead, he lowered his head slightly and did not react.
However, Xiao Xuewei didn't feel embarrassed, because the next moment, the candy box was taken over by Xiao Langze, who said cheerfully, "His name is Zhengxing, and his nickname is Xingxing."
"Hello, Xingxing." Xiao Xuewei looked at the little boy and greeted him again.
This time, Xiao Zhengxing was no longer indifferent, but he just nodded slightly.
However, this action is already a big improvement for him.
Xiao Xuewei could also see that his situation was special, so she didn't force him any further. After watching him and Xiao Langze eat the first candy with a smile, she turned her gaze to the other cubs.
She looked at the red flame tiger lying under the rope net.
In fact, the first thing she noticed when she arrived here was this beast.
Xiao Xuewei had seen its picture in class, so she knew that this beast with red stripes was the Red Flame Tiger, one of the ten most ferocious beasts.
She remembered that the teacher had said in class that red flame tigers generally have bad tempers and it is best not to provoke them easily, so when Xiao Xuewei discovered that there was a red flame tiger here, she was very nervous.
Fortunately, the appearance of Langze and Lu Jiao dispelled her tension. Looking at the red flame tiger again, Xiao Xuewei found that it seemed quite peaceful.
But...why is there a red flame tiger here?
"That's number two," Xiaolu Jiao said. "His name is Ran Lie. Do you want to go over and meet him?"
His suggestion made Xiao Xuewei nervous again.
So this is a completely beastly cub...but it sounds like he still has some sanity.
As a little princess who was raised as a lady, even though her awakened bloodline was not weak, she still couldn't help but feel fear and terror when facing a real ferocious beast.
However, Xiao Xuewei quickly suppressed these emotions.
She looked at Xiaolu Jiao and nodded firmly, "Yo Yo, thank you for your help."
Her parents are gone, her wife and her husband have abandoned her, and now she is alone, and she has to learn to face everything with strength.
Seeing the girl's fearless expression, Xiao Lujiao paused. Thinking of their shared herbivorous bloodline, he felt that he could understand Xiao Xuewei's feelings.
Carnivores...especially the ferocious beasts on the list, are indeed scary.
"Don't worry, Lielie won't hurt you." Xiaolu Jiao comforted her and then said, "Come with me."
"OK."
When the two children approached, Ran Lie had already heard their footsteps. He waited until they came to a place two steps away from him and paused before opening his eyes.
There was obvious impatience in the eyes of the Red Flame Tiger, but he didn't say anything - mainly because he wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Ran Lie thought he looked cool now, but in Xiao Xuewei's eyes, it was not the case at all.
First, its body size is not as huge as a real red flame tiger, and second, it is still a young tiger.
No matter how it pretends to be cold and majestic, it cannot erase the cuteness and childishness of a cub. Coupled with the fine and smooth fur all over its body, it looks like an oversized plush toy.
After getting closer, Xiao Xuewei was not so scared anymore.
When Xiaolu Jiao introduced them, she took a step forward and said to him sweetly, "Hello, Lielie. I'm Xuewei, who just arrived at the nursery yesterday. This is a gift I prepared for you. Please accept it."
Xiaolu Jiao, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but look at her.
Just now, when Xiao Xuewei spoke to the three of them, her tone didn't seem to be that sweet-sounding... but it still sounded quite nice.
Ran Lie couldn't help but look at the little girl a few more times.
As a hot-tempered and stubborn Red Flame Tiger, Ran Lie can be said to be a typical person who is soft-hearted and does not tolerate toughness. So when facing a soft and cute girl like Xiao Xuewei, he can't speak in a bad tone.
He glanced at the candy box that Xiao Xuewei had placed on the ground, and finally raised a furry paw to press on it and moved it in front of him.
As he moved, he saw the little girl's eyes become brighter.
He couldn't help but look away and snorted uncomfortably.
As for Xiao Xuewei...
She looked at the tiger's furry paws, and all she could think was, "Oh my! This tiger is wearing white gloves! How cute! I really want to touch them!"
However, the little rabbit was obviously not that brave, and only dared to think about it in his heart, and then left with the little deer Jiao reluctantly.
"Do you like Lielie very much?" Xiaolu Jiao asked her secretly after walking a few steps away.
"Lielie is very cute." Xiao Xuewei replied, and her tone of voice returned to normal, no longer that sweet and sticky voice.
Xiaolu Jiao felt that she was being treated differently.
But...is Ran Lie cute? Recalling his appearance after transforming into the Red Flame Tiger, Xiao Lu Jiao had to admit that Ran Lie was indeed very cute now!
"You can't let him hear this." He warned, "We can just talk about it among ourselves."
"Yeah!" Xiao Xuewei nodded very obediently.
Behind them, the Red Flame Tiger, who was about to close his eyes to continue practicing, stared at them with eyes full of anger.
Did they underestimate the Red Flame Tiger's hearing?
If Ran Lie were in human form at this moment, his cheeks would definitely be red enough to explode.
Fortunately, he is unable to return to human form yet.
Xuewei and the little white deer had already walked far away, and little Langze finally let go of little Zhengxing and ran over to play with them.
Seeing that Xiao Lihua was painting seriously, Xiao Xuewei decided to wait a while before going over to avoid disturbing her. This is basic social etiquette.
Little Langze didn't care. He really enjoyed giving food to their new cub as soon as it arrived. In return, he decided to play a tune on the flute for Little Xuewei.
The girl was very enthusiastic and sat on the ground with the little white deer, listening to the little Langze's playing. The little Zhengxing not far away also raised his head and turned his head to this side.
They sat together beside the green grass, eating candies and listening to the cheerful and lively shepherd's flute, feeling so relaxed.
Xiao Xuewei had a smile on her face, feeling that she hadn't felt so happy and relaxed in a long time.
When Xiao Langze finished playing the song, she applauded enthusiastically. Xiao Xuewei had heard many wonderful songs, but this was the first time she heard such a flute sound.
The sound of the flute had an inexplicable appeal. Faintly, she could even imagine a vibrant picture that made people intoxicated and resonate with the performer.
At least from her level of appreciation, Xiao Langze's playing was not bad at all, and it was a performance she wanted to play on loop.
“Pah pah pah!”
After the boy stopped playing, Xiao Xuewei clapped her hands vigorously. She smiled and said, "Langze, you play the flute really well!"
Seeing her so excited and enthusiastic, Xiao Langze felt a little embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and then grinned.
"Hehe, it's not enough yet. It will get better and better in the future!"
Little White Deer was also clapping. Perhaps because he could hear it every day, he hadn't felt it too deeply before. But now he suddenly realized -
It turns out that Langze has become so good at playing the flute!
Not far from them, little Zhengxing, who was hiding under the vines, listened for a while and then learned to clap his hands gently.
After listening to the song, Xiao Xuewei counted on her fingers and found that she still had three cubs to see.
"Over there are Xiangyang and Xiaolihua. They are siblings and both have the blood of the Red-tailed Lion," Xiaolu Jiao said. "And there's another one... Are you talking about number six?"
Xiao Xuewei shook her head, "Liu Liu has already seen it."
Hearing her calling that stinky monkey Number Six so affectionately, Little Langze couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Didn't Number Six bully you?"
This is not like the character of that stinky monkey.
Xiao Xuewei looked at him strangely and said, "No, Liuliu is very nice to me."
Although not as enthusiastic as Langze and Youyou, No. 6 still left a good impression on her and was a very friendly person.
But it is obvious that Xiao Langze has a completely different opinion.
"That must be his disguise. You'll know later." The young boy said angrily, "Anyway, there's absolutely no way I'll become friends with that stinky monkey!"
As a former teammate of "Stinky Monkey", Xiaolu Jiao could only remain silent to avoid making the wolf cub even angrier.
Xiao Xuewei wanted to say something, but he pulled her sleeve. Then she heard him say, "Xiao Lihua seems to have finished painting. Do you want to go find them?"
After being reminded by him, Xiao Xuewei finally remembered and hurried over there with the paper bag.
Watching the girl leave, and then looking at Xiao Langze who still had a dissatisfied look on his face, Xiao Lujiao couldn't help but say, "Langze, you and Number Six..."
Is there really no room for maneuver? Secretly, he still hopes they can become friends. After all, they've been together for so long...
However, Xiao Langze's attitude was very firm.
He raised his arm and pointed at the nursery building, angrily saying, "I'd rather jump off the roof than be friends with that stinky monkey!"
Little White Deer: “…”
He looked at Xiao Langze's confident expression and felt that such words should not be said.
On the other side, Xiao Xuewei finally came to the lion brother and sister.
Rong Heng noticed her arrival and turned to look at her.
Xiao Xuewei smiled and was about to speak, but when her eyes met Rong Heng's, she was stunned.
Such a familiar feeling...
However, after carefully looking at Rong Heng's facial features, she felt that she had never seen this boy before. It was just his eyes and temperament that gave her a sense of déjà vu.
Xiao Xuewei was confused, and at this time, Xiao Lihua, who had finally finished painting, also looked up at her.
"Wow! Who are you?" the little girl said with sparkling eyes. "You are so cute!"
Xiao Xuewei looked at her, and her expression, which was originally a little dazed, suddenly became dazed.
She looked into Xiao Lihua's eyes and murmured, "Madam..."
