Shen Qianyu did not answer.
Dr. Jin's passionate explanation came to an abrupt end.
He looked at the king, not understanding what the king meant.
You're not planning to raise this cub?
Dr. Jin looked down at the still fragile baby again and sighed inwardly.
Then he offered, "If Wang doesn't want to raise them, I can introduce some reliable candidates."
“In my social circle, there are many high-ranking orcs who are kind-hearted and come from well-off families. If you need them, they would be happy to adopt cubs.”
Shen Qianyu did not immediately agree, but instead asked his assistant to check each of the doctor's lists one by one, and finally handed the information to him for screening.
But before he could even look, the cub started to have a stomachache.
The baby was just born. He ate unclean fruit and undercooked meat in the forest, which was a blow to his fragile stomach. In the blink of an eye, the little guy who kept running over to call him "Dad" suddenly fell ill.
It was listless, sickly, and just a small, wilted bunch.
But the cub took the initiative to comfort Shen Qianyu, saying, "It's okay, baby, drink your medicine carefully and get well soon."
"It's the baby's fault, not the father's fault."
How could Shen Qianyu possibly be so heartless? Even her assistant couldn't help but clutch her chest, let alone Shen Qianyu herself.
However, the assistant did not dare to speculate on Shen Qianyu's meaning and only dared to ask, "Master, should we call someone over to see him?"
Shen Qianyu's mind was now entirely focused on the little one in his arms. He said:
"There's no rush yet."
However, it doesn't mean they've completely given up on this idea.
It was also very difficult for Shen Qianyu to feed the child medicine. Although the child did not resist drinking the medicine, the fishy smell of the medicine was not something a child could swallow. These beasts had never raised cubs before and did not know how to coax them. They only managed to swallow half a spoonful after feeding three spoonfuls, which made the doctor next to them sweat with anxiety.
The worst part is that the child suffers.
The little one's eyes and lips were red, and he kept coughing and feeling nauseous, but he didn't cry out once. His hand was always on Shen Qianyu's arm, sometimes comforting his father and sometimes comforting himself.
"I'm a strong baby... Waaaaah..."
If it were someone else, perhaps the cub wouldn't have suffered like this, but if it were someone else, perhaps they wouldn't have been as tolerant as Shen Qianyu.
Although Wang's expression remained calm, he showed no impatience whatsoever. Even when the cub vomited all over him, he didn't get angry. He first soothed the cub before getting up to change his clothes.
Before changing clothes, Shen Qianyu patted the cub's head and said:
"Yes, you're a strong baby."
cub: qwq
The child looked at him with eyes full of tears, not even noticing that his eyes were turning into eggshells.
So cute, so endearing.
So obedient, so sensible.
Even the assistant wanted to speak up for the cub:
"Your Majesty, perhaps you..."
Shen Qianyu lit a cigarette and said, "Shut up if it's not your business."
The assistant nodded timidly and remained silent.
Because the cub's illness came on so quickly and suddenly, the search for an adoptive home for the cub was temporarily put on hold. Shen Qianyu was busy with her daily affairs and had no intention of taking care of the cub all night. However, the cub was completely different in front of other people than it was in front of him. It didn't rely on anyone, and when it was in pain, it didn't act cute.
When Shen Qianyu finished her work and returned, she asked about the cub's condition. She learned that the cub hadn't gone anywhere except to take its medicine and eat, and hadn't spoken to anyone. It had just slowly walked to the door and was staring at it, as if waiting for its whole world.
Waiting for Dad to come home.
Even though Shen Qianyu hadn't personally witnessed the cub sitting alone at the door waiting for him, hearing the servant's description still made his heart clench.
He then went to ask Dr. Kim.
The doctor said it was because the cub had no companions of its kind and no toys to keep it entertained. He suggested buying the cub some toys or giving it a personal computer to help it pass the time. If all else failed, he suggested letting the cub interact with the orcs.
"But that's true, it seems like two-legged creatures prefer furry things... creatures like you aren't very popular with humans."
"But if the child needs it, I can transform into beast form and snuggle up to him!"
Dr. Jin volunteered immediately.
Shen Qianyu could have agreed, and he had plenty of furry beastmen around him, but he remained silent for a moment before saying, "Send me the links to the toys, and have your assistant buy them all."
The next day, the cub received a bunch of plush toys, a quantum computer, and even a holographic game.
However, the little cub didn't seem to be very interested in these temptations. It just played with the toy doll for a while, and after Shen Qianyu left for work, it immediately put down the toy and sat by the door, staring blankly at the door and counting its toes.
When is Daddy coming back?
The cub talked to itself, then lined up the toys at the doorway and asked them one by one:
Do you know when my dad will be back?
Let's wait for Daddy to come home before we play!
After saying that, the cub turned into a cub sculpture again, standing motionless for hours, staring at the doorway.
The orcs guarding the scene couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to report to the king, but due to the king's terrifying desire for control, any overstepping of authority could result in their dismissal...
They were all caught in a dilemma.
However, Shen Qianyu was also restless at work today. She kept getting distracted during the meeting and couldn't concentrate on reading the documents. She was as anxious as a young boy.
His room wasn't without surveillance cameras, but Shen Qianyu hadn't turned them on for a long time in order to control his desire for control.
He used to compulsively watch the surveillance footage in every corner, but a psychologist helped him alleviate his paranoia and anxiety.
Shen Qianyu, smoking a cigarette, finally turned on the long-dormant surveillance camera.
The scene shifts, and a row of little ones surrounds the doorway, making it impossible to pass. The tallest one, with its big eyes wide open, hugs its knees and stares motionless at the doorway.
When I get sleepy, I stay in that position and doze off. When I'm really too sleepy, I fall asleep right there. When I hear a sound coming closer, I suddenly get up and eagerly approach the door to listen for footsteps. Only after I'm sure the footsteps have passed and gone do I slowly and disappointedly return to my original position.
Shen Qianyu was completely engrossed in watching.
He didn't even notice when the cigarette butt burned his finger.
He only snapped out of his daze when the cigarette ash burned him, and suddenly stood up, startling his assistant beside him.
"Master, there is another party later."
"Cancel it and go back."
Shen Qianyu strode towards the door, seemingly unwilling and unable to wait even a moment longer.
He never imagined that beastmen who had to be raised by humans would suffer so much.
Even the most hard-hearted person couldn't bear to see such a scene.
