Cub Raising Association

Hearing the unexpected answer, Xie Tao didn't speak for a moment, mainly because the reaction of the cub in front made it difficult for him to answer the words of the person opposite.

"Of course it can be adopted by the branch." Taking his eyes away from the cub, Xie Tao finally nodded in response to the other party's request.

Xie Tao meant that he could adopt for free, but at this moment, Morrison looked down at the cub Riley who was hugging his left trouser leg, raised his head and said, "I will pay the move-in fee, and there is no need to pay later. , you also contact me to make it the same as other normal cubs."

There is no shortage of this money, the salary of the Star Alliance special forces personnel is very high, and every time they perform a mission, they will receive a considerable amount of extra bonus after completion.

For Morrison, who usually doesn't have any hedonic consumption, the number on his crystal card account has only increased over the years, and it was not until more than a year ago that there were exceptions.

Xie Tao opened his mouth, but he still swallowed the words that were on the verge of his mouth.

The last half of the other party's words sounded like they wanted the cub to be treated normally in the club.

In fact, there is no difference between the cubs they adopt and the cubs that are paid for. However, the other party is also thinking about the cubs, thinking that doing so will make the other party feel more at ease, so Xie Tao didn't say much.

The procedure for the adoption of a cub by the branch is not complicated. With the consent of Xie Tao, the president, it is only necessary to do a few routine registrations for the cub sent to the branch. Xie Tao handed over the registration work to Lin Yi .

Things were going well, and Morrison bent down and gently pushed the body of the Riley cub, which was still clinging to his trouser legs with a pair of small fins, and deliberately let the cub let him go.

At this time, he just found the cub with its head bowed low. Morrison realized that the cub might not have adapted to the unfamiliar new environment, so he habitually reached out and patted the cub on the back.

"Guck."

Made a little childish sound, although the cub Riley still drooped his head, he hung down his fins obediently.

"Let's go." Patting the cub's soft and fluffy body again, Morrison signaled the Riley cub to go to Xie Tao's side.

Hearing what the lord said, the Riley cub didn't move for a few seconds, and after a while, it opened its hanging fins to both sides, and approached Xie Tao with a patter.

"This cub is very afraid of thunder, so when it rains, someone must accompany it." When Morrison said this, his tone became a lot more serious, and his expression was extraordinarily cold and serious. Holding, except for being afraid of thunder, this cub is usually very sensible."

"Okay, I understand." Xie Tao quickly responded, and at the same time kept this matter in his heart.

After explaining all the things that should be explained, Morrison is relatively relieved to let the cub stay in the cub care branch where the former commander served. Now he is going to leave to find a house in a nearby area.

Although he is not the parent, he should also have the right to come to this branch to check on the cubs on weekends.

Nodding to the young man in front, Morrison said no more, turned and walked towards the door.

The other party didn't turn back to look at the cub again, and when the figure walked out of the house, Xie Tao saw the Riley cub near him immediately pattering towards the door for a long way. But finally stopped in front of the door.

"Gu..."

With its fins down, the Riley cub raised its head and looked at the door, its short tail also hanging quietly on the ground.

Xie Tao bent one finger and tapped his forehead with his knuckles.

The man just left so simply and neatly, leaving a cub feeling aggrieved, without looking back or coaxing...

Xie Tao thought helplessly.

"Baby." Walking over, Xie Tao squatted down and touched the cub's little head, after thinking about it, he called the cub's name softly, "Riley."

Taking the name of the race as the name, Xie Tao felt that the parents of this cub might have very high expectations when naming the cub.

Indeed, as Morrison said, this cub was very sensible. When Xie Tao was coaxing him with such gentle voices, this Riley cub moved its body and let out a low cry.

After stroking the cub's belly with its particularly thick fur, Xie Tao picked up the cub Riley.

"Does the baby like that adult just now?" Although Xie Tao felt that maybe there was no need to ask, Xie Tao still asked this question after holding the cub into his arms.

And he got an answer almost immediately.

"Guck!"

Fluttering its fins, the Riley cub uttered a tender and crisp cry, and at this moment, Wu Liuliu's eyes seemed to light up quite a bit.

It seems to really like it.

The cub's reaction is not deceiving, Xie Tao believes in this.

In fact, the person who left just now should obviously love this cub, and this cub is obviously very familiar with the other party, which also shows that the other party should have taken care of the cub for a while.

"He treats Riley very well?" Xie Tao asked softly while holding the cub as he walked towards the hall with his hands on the cub's fluffy back.

"Goo~" The call was soft, and in response, the Riley cub waved its tiny fins up and down, seemingly in delight.

After reading the cub's two reactions, Xie Tao almost knew it.

"Then he must be a very good person." Xie Tao nodded the cub's forehead.

There is no harm in boasting about the person the cub likes in front of the cub.

Putting the Riley cub down on the soft carpet in the hall, Xie Tao didn't even have to wave, all the cubs playing around in the hall approached him.

"This is a new baby in our branch. Its name is Riley." Introducing the new companion, Xie Tao pushed the Riley cub slightly towards the other cubs.

It takes time to adapt to the new environment. Apart from being a little timid at first, Xie Tao feels that this newly moved cub has gradually adapted to life in the Yunbao branch in the past few days.

In response to the hot weather in summer, the living room of Rainbow Dash Club has already turned on the temperature adjustment device, so that the cubs can stay in a comfortable temperature that is no different from spring all day long.

It was sunny for several days, but this afternoon, Xie Tao looked up and saw a dark cloud in the sky outside.

It is going to rain.

Originally, the rainy day was not worthy of special attention, but after remembering what Morrison asked, Xie Tao handed over the work of preparing food for the cubs to others, and he walked into the hall, getting close enough to be with a few chubby chirping Beside Riley cubs who study each other's wings together.

"Guji." He took two steps closer to Xie Tao, and the Riley cub ran over and hugged Xie Tao's trouser legs with its open fins.

After taking care of Xie Tao these few days, this cub has gotten closer to Xie Tao.

The number of dark clouds is still low, the sky is not getting dark, and the Riley pup has not yet reacted to the change in weather outside.

Xie Tao didn't say anything at this time, just bent down and hugged the cub into his arms, and let the furry cub gently pat his body with its fins.

This cub was afraid of thunder. When Xie Tao heard Morrison say this, he actually thought it was a very common thing.

Like in his original world, there are many children who are afraid of thunder, even adults may be afraid, so Xie Tao didn't think too much about it.

But when things really happened, Xie Tao felt that something was not right.

When the dark clouds increased and the sky outside the window gradually darkened, the change occurred almost instantly. Xie Tao found that the Riley cub he was holding suddenly buried its head in his arms, and then its body began to lighten slightly. trembled.

Xie Tao didn't expect the cub's reaction to be so strong, and after a second he quickly began to pat to comfort him. When a dull thunder rumbled, Xie Tao felt the cub's fear more clearly.

"Gu, Guji—!"

The body trembling of the cub was much more obvious than before, and it let out a childish cry to the young man who was holding it.

It was like a helpless cry for help, Xie Tao hugged the Riley cub in his arms a little tighter, the soothing effect of pats was limited, Xie Tao finally hummed a lullaby softly to the cub.

With the lullaby and pats, the cub finally became less afraid, but the cub still shivered slightly every time the thunder sounded.

It's not like ordinary fear of thunder...

From the cub's reaction, Xie Tao couldn't help but have this idea.

The rain lasted for a long time. During this period, if someone could be brought over to give useful advice, Xie Tao thought about it and could only call Zarad over.

The young man was humming a lullaby, but Zarad knew that Xie Tao wanted to see the cub in his arms by himself.

I didn't know why at first, but after observing the cub's reaction when the thunder sounded, Zarad gradually frowned and looked a little serious.

Stress response.

This cub has a rather strong stress response to the thunder, and the specific performance of this reaction made Zarad feel a little familiar, as if he had seen similar scenes before.

I have seen it in my comrades--

This thought flashed across his mind, Zarad frowned and looked at the cub in Xie Tao's arms, and suddenly remembered something related to Riley's race.

More than a year ago, Xo, one of the planets governed by this race, was attacked by an organized vicious attack. At that time, the Star Alliance sent troops to maintain peace. This was the only event in the past ten years that the Star Alliance dispatched troops .

Although he didn't really hope that this guess would come true, an increasingly clear idea emerged in Zarad's mind at this moment.

This Riley cub may have been through war.
