Chapter 12

Number One looked at Su Ci and wanted to ask if he could stay.

But he couldn't even speak simple words... In the end, he could only hold his clothes and socks obediently, run to the cabinet, and open the bottom drawer.

Before Su Ci moved in, the dormitory had been cleaned inside and out, so the inside of the drawer was also very clean, and the previous keeper didn't leave anything behind.

Number One put the clothes in, and then pulled open the corners of the clothes, arranging them neatly without a wrinkle. Even the socks were stacked one pair at a time, and they were neatly arranged in a row, which looked very comfortable.

When Su Ci saw this scene, he thought of the messy things in the space button, and silently turned his head away and retracted his gaze.

He walked out of the room only after hearing the sound of the child closing the drawer.

Number One stood behind him, watching his leaving back, and tried to open his mouth.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could only make "Huh-Huh-", hoarse, unpleasant, and meaningless syllables.

The child could not hide his disappointment.

"Aren't you leaving?"

When he lowered his head sadly, the keeper's gentle voice came from the direction of the door.

Number One looked up and saw that the keeper did not leave directly this time, but stood sideways, looked back at him, and put one hand on the door frame to prevent the metal door from closing.

He looked at Su Ci in a daze, then nodded in surprise, and then stretched out his short legs and slipped out from the gap beside Su Ci's feet in a stream of smoke.

Su Ci then let go of his hand, put his hands in the pockets of his uniform, and walked out slowly. Number One, who was originally running in front, also slowed down, and finally kept walking side by side with the keeper, and then entered the elevator together.

Although the figures of the two people could not be reflected in the elevator, Number One touched the cub clothes on his body with a happy face.

4586 did not explain where the activity room was exactly, but the nursery was so big that Su Ci still found the place accurately.

When he came to the door, 4586 was blocking the door, separating the two children who were fighting with each other, and then pushing them into the activity room.

Su Ci looked inside the room. The

ones who had just fought were No. 6 and No. 7. As for the other three children, No. 3 was still playing with a metal ball in a corner, just like yesterday, while No. 5 and No. 8 were together, also picking toys.

"Su Su!"

Seeing his figure, the round nanny robot seemed to have forgotten that he was late in the morning, and greeted him energetically.

Su Ci nodded and listened to 4586 explaining the next task to him.

"The cubs can't stay in a closed room all the time. They need to stay with their peers, play and talk. This will help stabilize their emotions and promote their healthy physical and mental development."

"This is also to prevent the cubs from going crazy. Studies have shown that a certain amount of social interaction can greatly reduce the probability of cubs going crazy. It is a very important part of raising cubs."

4586 said to Su Ci: "So, from 9 to 11:30 every morning, it is the time for the cubs to go out and play. Su Su, you need to take care of the cubs with me."

Su Ci nodded. When he heard 4586 talk about the time, he felt like he had forgotten something.

He looked at the child next to him.

The child was looking at the activity room with some envy. Noticing his gaze, he raised his head and looked at Su Ci with a confused look in his eyes.

Su Ci touched his chin and felt that what he had forgotten seemed to have nothing to do with the child.

He looked towards the activity room again.

At this time, No. 5, who was choosing toys with No. 8, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door.

When she saw Su Ci, the little girl's eyes lit up.

She quickly put down the toy in her hand and ran over hurriedly. Her round and beautiful eyes curved into a pair of crescents, and a lovely smile appeared on her chubby little face.

She ran towards Su Ci happily, "Huahua..."

However, when she came in front of him and looked behind him, she found that there was nothing behind him. The smile on the little girl's face disappeared immediately.

She pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry. Her baby voice was sad and upset: "Where is my brother?"

Su Ci then remembered what he had forgotten.

He glanced at the communicator and replied, "The doctor said to pick him up at the medical office at 10 o'clock."

It was only a little after nine o'clock, so he was still in time, so Su Ci didn't feel guilty at all.

Number Five wiped her eyes and nodded.

Then she glanced at the red flower hairpin on Su Ci's temples, rubbed against Su Ci's side, and held the hem of his uniform with her little hand, her voice soft as if she was acting coquettish.

"Then, then you should go and pick him up quickly."

The little girl's voice was not very eloquent, and her voice sounded cute and adorable, with the innocence and loveliness unique to a cub, but...

Su Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Number Eight who was looking over here in the activity room, and then looked at the little girl who was looking at him with a soft and harmless face.

This little girl actually used this trick on him?

Su Ci did not notice that Number One, who was standing next to him, was staring at the little girl with his dark red eyes, his eyes slightly narrowed, and there was a hint

of hostility in his expression. Because of the height difference, Number Five could not observe Su Ci's expression very well. Seeing that he seemed to have no reaction, he couldn't help but blinked in confusion.

Huh?

But then, she saw the keeper, turned her head and said to the nanny robot: "I'm going to the infirmary to pick up the two children."

The doubts in Number Five's eyes disappeared, and he looked at the robot with yellow flowers painted on its body.

4586 looked at the five children in the room, and then looked at Su Ci. From its mechanical movements, a hint of human hesitation could be vaguely seen.

But in the end, it still responded: "Okay, but Susu you must come back as soon as possible. I am the only nanny robot left in the nursery, and I can't handle it."

Hearing this, No. 5 seemed to remember something.

She loosened her hand holding Su Ci's clothes and dropped it to her side, and her little head drooped down with no spirit.

Su Ci glanced at her and nodded, "Well, then I'll go."

No. 5 watched him enter the elevator, then turned around and walked back to No. 8. Just as she was about to continue choosing toys, she saw the little boy staring at the direction where the keeper left, with a bit of resentment and anger in his expression.

There was a little more curiosity in her eyes, and she tilted her head to look at him.

Noticing her gaze, No. 8 retracted his gaze, angrily threw the toy in his hand, and sat on the small stool with his chin in his hand, looking like he didn't want anyone to come in.

No. 5 didn't understand, so he ignored him, picked up a metal ball from the box, and then sat next to No. 3 and turned quietly.

For a while, the only sounds in the activity room were the noisy voices of No. 6 and No. 7.

-Su

Ci wanted to leave the nursery, and No. 1 followed him closely.

No one could see him before, and naturally no one cared about him, so since he woke up, he had already visited every corner of the base.

But as a transparent man, it seemed that everywhere was the same to him, and finally he chose to return to the nursery.

There is no special reason, I just feel that I should stay here.

Of course, if I have to give a reason, it is probably because... the cubs in the nursery, who are called little monsters, should be considered the same kind as him.

At this moment, after walking into the elevator with Su Ci, No. 1 couldn't help but glance at the young man. Finally, he couldn't help it, stretched out his hand, and carefully pulled the hem of Su Ci's uniform.

When Su Ci looked down and met his clear eyes, the child breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the child's reaction, Su Ci was a little surprised by his alertness. He slightly curled the corners of his lips, put his palm on the top of his head and touched it. He felt that it felt good, so he rubbed it again.

"That little girl still can't control me." He chuckled.

Number One nodded vigorously. The new keeper was different from the previous ones. He knew what Number Five had just done, so he felt relieved.

Su Ci walked out of the nursery building with a small tail hanging behind him.

He first went to take a look at the muddy ground under the spirit cover. After a night, the moisture in the ground was evaporated, but it was still moist. Apart from that, there were no other changes.

The pear tree spirit seeds under the muddy ground also fell into a deep sleep again, and there was no sign of germination.

Su Ci frowned. There was a surveillance camera watching him, so he didn't stay for long. He planned to come back to take a look at night.

Number One was staring at the muddy ground under the spirit cover. It was the first time he saw such bare ground, and his eyes were full of surprise.

Was this caused by the keeper? He felt as if something was talking to him under the mud.

"Hungry...hungry..."

Hungry? But he had no food.

Seeing Su Ci turning around and leaving without any intention of explaining to him, No. 1 had to reluctantly look away and followed Su Ci out of the gate of the nursery.

Su Ci looked at the map that 4586 had just sent him, and according to the instructions on it, he came to a station a hundred meters away from the nursery.

In addition to using the teleportation platform, there are other means of transportation in the base, such as this kind of suspended vehicle called "bus". There are a total of more than a dozen vehicles, which go around the base every day along a fixed route.

Although it is not completely free, 1 point will be deducted for every 30 rides, and the first 29 rides are equivalent to free.

Soon, the floating bus arrived.

He scanned his face to open the door, and Su Ci stepped onto the floating car.

Number One had short calves, and when he saw the first step of the floating car was as high as his belly button, he was about to climb up with his hands and feet, when he felt his collar being grabbed.

The keeper lifted him into

the car. Number One hung his limbs like a kitten with its fate bitten on the back of its neck, and he obediently did not struggle. When his feet touched the ground, he quickly stretched out his little hands to grab the keeper's clothes and followed him into the car.

Su Ci looked into the car.

The carriage was well ventilated and looked clean and tidy. There were about 20 seats, but only two or three people were sitting there at the moment. However, there was a familiar face among them.

After Su Ci got on the train, the man waved to him warmly.

Su Ci looked at the familiar face and quickly remembered that this was Luo Shengfei from the maintenance team. He had seen him at the nursery yesterday. He also promised to do his best to repair the broken 4583.

Luo Shengfei had a smile on his face, but when Su Ci approached and saw the red plastic flower in his hair, his smile froze.

This new keeper is quite fond of beauty?
