Cub Raising Association

Although the pool is built indoors, and the location is quite close to other cubs’ usual activities, most of the non-aquatic cubs are only moderately interested in playing with water, even if they can swim, they are relatively rare Take the initiative to play in the pool.

After all, these cubs are basically fluffy, and the fur on these cubs will get wet when they get into the water.

When the time comes to climb ashore, these cubs have to shake their bodies to shake off the water, and then slowly wait for the fluff on their bodies to become dry again.

Of course, in reality, when Xie Tao sees a wet cub crawling out of the pool, Xie Tao will wrap the cub with a big towel, hold it in his arms, and use the towel first to wrap it up. Give the cub a body scrub.

After drying the cub's body, Xie Tao will use something like a hair dryer to blow the cub's hair.

The whole process doesn't take much time.

The main reason is that the branch has not yet built a small drying room for the pool, so this has to be done manually.Xie Tao didn't mind blowing the cubs in his branch, but these cubs didn't bother him very often, only once or twice a week.

Looking at this situation, Xie Tao has actually been worried about the mermaid cub living in the pool, most of the time it is always alone, which is obviously harmful to the cub's mental health.

Just being picked up by the young man, when the four feet were off the ground, the Moye cub, which was like a little turtle with a thick armor on its back, kicked its four short legs in the air again.

Until it was held firmly in the arms of the young man and stepped on something, the Moye cub settled down obediently again.

Xie Tao was amused by the cub's kicking movement, and couldn't hold back a low laugh.

But seeing this little turtle-like Moye cub turning its eyes to look at him and humming a few times, Xie Tao raised his hand to touch the cub's hard carapace, and explained with a smile: " Not kidding you."

Raising its head, the Moye cub shook the pointed tail behind it, and then hummed obediently.

Looks like a good boy too.

Xie Tao lightly poked the dark hard carapace of the cub in his arms with his index finger, and his mood became brighter.

The two cubs are so obedient, staying together, they can get along well without accidents.

On the way Xie Tao carried the Moye cub to the indoor pool, several other adults in the room cast some curious eyes on the cub.

None of them had raised a Maya cub before, but this cub looked good and shouldn't be difficult to take care of.

As soon as he approached to a place two or three meters away from the indoor pool, Xie Tao saw the mermaid cub that had been hiding under the water pop up, and then those beautiful blue eyes looked towards him, After a while, he swam to the edge of the pool.

"a~"

The small fish tail covered with icy blue scales swayed gently under the water. The cub clings to the edge of the pool with both hands, and utters a slightly inaudible monotone to the approaching human youth.

The sensory abilities of alien races are generally stronger than humans in all aspects. This mermaid cub has already remembered the footsteps of the young man in front of him. As long as he hears the sound of approaching, he can know that the other party is coming.

Still vaguely heard the voice of the mermaid cub, although the syllables that this cub could utter were very monotonous, Xie Tao could still hear the mood of the mermaid cub from the subtle tone changes after listening carefully.

For example, the sound just now should have expressed happiness.

The water in the pool was so clear that the bottom could be seen, Xie Tao could see the small tail fin of this mermaid cub swaying under the water when he approached the pool.

You can also see a beautifully shaped shell bed under the pool. The shells are milky white, and there are some small and exquisite pearl decorations beside the bed as embellishments.

This is the furniture that Xie Tao ordered from a cub store on Xingwang. I heard that this kind of shell bed is very popular with some mermaid cubs. It is a popular model, so Xie Tao is customizing new beds for other cubs in the branch. When I was in the nest, I bought such a shell bed for the little mermaid in my branch.

First squatting down and gently placing the Moye cub in his arms on the ground next to him, Xie Tao reached out to touch the short light blonde hair of the little mermaid nearby, and said softly to the other side: "This is the baby who has just moved into our branch. It's called Totu, and you can often play together in the future."

After speaking, Xie Tao went to touch the hard carapace of the baby mermaid who was looking up at him, and said in the same soft tone: "This baby mermaid is called Cal, and it hasn't left the pool yet. ability...if any good baby is willing to play with it often, it will be very happy."

Considering himself a well-behaved baby, the Moye cub grunted to the young man next to him, and slowly crawled a few steps towards the pool, successfully crawling into the pool before overturning his body.

After climbing into the pool, the Moye cub's movements became much more flexible.

Not afraid of tipping over in the water, the cub swam closer to the mermaid cub and tried to hum to the latter, which was a sign of friendship from the Maya tribe.

It was the first time that I met an aquatic race like myself in the Rainbow Dash Club. This mermaid cub first took a look at the human youth squatting by the pool, and then it imitated the young man’s action just now, raising its right hand to the maya. It touched the hard carapace of the Clan cub very lightly.

In response, the mermaid cub tried his best to communicate with this new companion.

The water temperature device under the pool now shows a temperature of 18°C, which was adjusted by Xie Tao according to the tips in "Cub Encyclopedia".

The favorite water temperature for cubs of the mermaid race is 18°C. Xie Tao thought about it for a while. He remembered that the Maya race did not have a specific water temperature preference, so there should be no need to fine-tune the temperature of the pool.

The indoor pool is obviously much larger than the small pool in the courtyard, so it is no problem for the two cubs to swim around together.

The initial communication seemed to be okay. Xie Tao saw the little mermaid taking the baby moya to visit its shell bed underwater, and watched the little turtle-like baby moya gently shaking the pointed little baby behind it while visiting. Tail, immediately felt relieved.

Xie Tao sat cross-legged on the edge of the pool and watched the two cubs play together for a while. When he felt that it was almost time and it was time to prepare food for the cubs with other nurses, Xie Tao rubbed himself With legs that were a little numb, he stood up from the edge of the pool.

Just as he was about to turn around, Xie Tao saw the mermaid cub swimming up to him again, he couldn't help but pause slightly.

The mermaid cub stretched out his hand eagerly and grabbed his trouser leg, "pa..."

It means to tell him not to leave.Xie Tao could at least understand this, so he knelt down again to touch the short light blond hair of the mermaid cub, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

The little hands on the trouser legs were tightly grasped, and before hearing a response, Xie Tao comforted him first: "I won't leave."

Hearing this sentence, the mermaid cub uttered another single sound, confirming that the young man in front of him would not leave, and finally let go of his hand slowly.

After letting go, the mermaid cub quickly swam to the bottom of the water, swam to the shell bed and stopped for a few seconds, then swam back to Xie Tao.

"pa——" Holding something in front of the young man, the mermaid cub tried his best to make a louder sound, which was indeed the clearest single sound this cub had ever made.

Looking at the hands approaching him, Xie Tao originally thought that the mermaid cub was going to give him spar like before, and wanted to tell the cub in a gentle voice that it should not rub its eyes on purpose again, but thank you Luan saw something unexpected from the mermaid cub's hand.

Is it... scales?

Seeing a small piece of ice-blue scale held in the hand of the mermaid cub, Xie Tao couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Has this cub lost its scales?

Before he had time to think about this question, under the expectant eyes of the mermaid cub, Xie Tao took the ice blue scale first.

This should mean giving it to him, or asking him to keep it...?

After taking the scale, Xie Tao saw the mermaid cub's tail fin swaying under the water, looking very happy.

Whether it was given to him or asked him to keep it, Xie Tao had to put this scale away properly.

Just bought a small box to put the spar that the mermaid cub gave him, and this scale can also be put in it for storage.

Now the little mermaid cub didn't stop him from leaving, Xie Tao stroked the little mermaid's short hair again, and then went to the place where everyone in the house was.

He took a few baby bottles and prepared to make milk powder, when Xie Tao heard Xia Qi ask him, "A Luan, what is that shiny thing in your pocket?"

From Xia Qi's angle, she could just see a small shiny thing in the young man's pocket, so she couldn't help asking curiously.

"The scales Little Cal gave me." Without thinking too much, Xie Tao answered truthfully.

Cal... the mermaid cub...

Scales?

Everyone around who heard this sentence was stunned for a moment. If they remembered correctly, the mermaid cubs would hand over the first scale they dropped to their parents for safekeeping.

According to this logic, that means... this mermaid cub regards the human youth in front of them as its parent? ?
