"Whoa?"
The little one was wearing the simplest romper and lying on the carpet.
As a very young baby, he doesn't need to do anything; he just needs to eat, sleep, and daydream every day.
Zhou Jinze, who is a bit older than him, is not like that.
He saw Qian Yuan not far from him. Although he didn't understand why he had also shrunk, Zhou Jinze would remember to protect Qian Yuan no matter what he became.
He was about to walk to Qian Yuan's side to protect her, but the next second he was grabbed and lifted up:
"Where are you going? The guests are coming soon. Except for Qianyuan, all of you need to go on stage to perform. Hurry up and get there."
Zhou Jinze glanced down at his choir-like outfit, which he, a cool guy, certainly didn't like.
But he was still carried away with a stiff face.
Because Zhou Jinze is still just a child whose fists are smaller than an adult's, assessing the situation is probably his instinct.
"Oh dear~"
When Qianyuan saw Zhou Jinze about to leave his sight, he immediately became anxious. He stood up while holding onto the wall, but he was still a little unsteady on his feet. So the little boy simply changed from walking to crawling, using both his hands and feet to hug the adult's leg.
"Wow, our Yuanyuan is amazing!"
The man squatted down. He was a long-haired man with a gentle appearance. Only then did the child finally remember that this man was the director of the orphanage.
And Zai is the youngest child in the orphanage.
Even though the baby can't walk steadily and can't talk very well, it is loved by people inside and outside the welfare home just because of its cute little cake appearance.
Some visitors wanted to adopt Qianyuan the moment they saw him, but the director always felt that the baby was too young and delicate and that the families would not be able to raise him properly, so he never opened up Qianyuan for adoption.
And the person that Zaizai likes the most in this orphanage is naturally Zhou Jinze.
These two children, who are not related by blood, appeared together at the entrance of the orphanage, thinly dressed and shivering from the cold.
When the director saw the two children clinging to each other, relying on each other's body heat for warmth, he saw them as two furry little animals. Overwhelmed with compassion, he took in two more children, further burdening the orphanage.
As the director of an orphanage in a remote star system, unlike those dependent on powerful races who receive financial support from royalty and whose facilities are maintained, he was severely lacking in funds. The government was spending more than it earned and couldn't help the orphanage at all.
That's why the dean holds these performances every few days, ostensibly to let the children thank kind people for their donations, but in reality, he's begging for donations.
Zhou Jinze and a group of children were herded upstairs. He sang casually while thinking about Qian Yuan.
In the blink of an eye, I noticed a very familiar figure among the wealthy people present.
He was dressed in a suit and tie, holding a cane, with some gray hair at his temples, but he still exuded masculine charm, and his face was incredibly handsome.
His eyes were cold, though. He stared at the group of tiny children, lost in thought, as if reminiscing about his own precious child.
Zhou Jinze secretly glanced at him, but the other person keenly noticed his gaze and immediately looked back.
Zhou Jinze pretended to be nonchalant and immediately looked away.
But Shen Qianyu was a man of great stature; how could he not notice the unusual look in a child's eyes?
After they finished, Zhou Jinze followed his chattering companions back to the courtyard, eager to go back and see Qianyuan immediately.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qianyu caught up with them and pinned Zhou Jinze down outside Qianyuan's room.
Even though they were separated by only a wall, Qianyuan inside could hear the noises outside the door.
"Little friend, do you know me?"
Zhou Jinze was startled. He remembered this person, but he couldn't bypass Qian Yuan and directly make arrangements for them to acknowledge each other. So Zhou Jinze simply shook his head.
"I just felt that you looked familiar. I think that kind-hearted people like you all have a kind face and a sense of compassion."
Kind-hearted and kind-hearted.
Shen Qianyu was amused by Zhou Jinze's blatant lies, and he still admired Zhou Jinze's courage at such a young age.
"Little friend, you're so good at talking! Do you have a friend? He's inside, why don't you call him out to play with you?"
Zhou Jinze cursed inwardly. The fathers of the children were all too perceptive; they were no pushovers. Fortunately, at this moment, the protective mother hen, the hospital director, forcefully intervened, flapping her wings to protect her offspring.
"Beastman King, please go back. If you want to apply for adoption, please follow the proper procedures. Don't frighten the children here."
Seeing that there was no way to investigate further, Shen Qianyu had no choice but to give up: "Alright."
Shen Qianyu left.
Zhou Jinze breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and opened the door to the room, only to see a black thing flash past him. He couldn't even see what kind of thing it was.
The little black sesame ball finally broke free from the sesame filling and revealed its original form after it hit the wall with a crisp sound, probably indicating that it had been injured somewhere.
It is a very small and miniature rare and exotic beast with a dreamlike appearance.
The tiny Pixiu was now about the size of a Chihuahua, its fur slightly bristling. When it saw Zhou Jinze come in, it chirped and made a bit of a racket.
"What happened to you?"
Zhou Jinze picked up the cub, and the cub nudged Zhou Jinze's cheek with its head, indicating that it was okay.
Zhou Jinze still took the cubs to ask the dean.
The dean rested his chin on his hand and examined the cub for a while, then hesitated and said, "Could it be that the cub has orc blood? No wonder the orc king chased after us just now. Did he sense something? But... what kind of orc has the cub transformed into? I've never seen one before, and he's quite holy."
