Cub Raising Association

Unprepared to hear this question, Xie Tao was stunned for a moment, showing a trace of astonishment on his expression.

Adopt a little mermaid...?

Before he could react for a while, Xie Tao stopped in place, and suddenly he didn't know how to think about this problem.

Originally, because he was a childcare worker and took care of the cubs in the branch every day, Xie Tao never thought about adopting cubs.

But now that someone asked him this question, Xie Tao naturally fell into thinking.

"I..." Xie Tao opened his mouth and uttered a syllable, but he still didn't think about what to say next, and his voice faded away.

I don't know what the young man is thinking about, but Xia Qi still maintains a serious expression on her face, and her tone of voice is also serious: "I think if someone wants to adopt little Cal, you, A Luan, are the most suitable one. "

Xia Qi can be sure that she is not the only one who thinks this way in the branch, and if she asks other people, she must have the same idea.

There's no way, the first word that the mermaid cub in his branch uttered when he recovered his voice was "Papa", and he yelled at the young man.

After learning the supernatural power, the first word written with the supernatural power is still these two characters, not to mention the fact that the little mermaid handed over the first scale that fell off to the young man for safekeeping.

"Besides you, I don't think little Cal will accept anyone else's adoption." Xia Qi added.

This mermaid cub has long regarded the young man as its parent. The only difference between Xie Tao adopting and not adopting is whether he and this cub have formally established a parent-child relationship.

Hearing this declarative sentence, Xie Tao couldn't help turning his gaze to the indoor pool.

Ask him to adopt this mermaid cub...

Speaking of personal wishes, Xie Tao was willing in his heart.

But Xie Tao couldn't nod his head and say yes, because he still had some concerns, for example, he didn't know if he could really be a good parent.

Being a good parent is very difficult, Xie Tao has always thought so, if he adopts this mermaid cub, can he make this little mermaid grow up happily?

And whether this cub will be happier if it is adopted by another family compared to him, these are points that Xie Tao is still hesitating to be sure.

"Let me think about it." He didn't give a precise answer, but Xie Tao's expression was obviously thinking seriously.

Although Xia Qi said just now that he was the most suitable, Xie Tao did not have such confidence. Adopting a cub was something that could not be taken lightly, and he had to make a careful decision.

Seeing that the young man was actually very willing to adopt the mermaid cub, Xia Qi didn't say much. In the end, whether to adopt or not, she couldn't make the choice for the other party.

Xie Tao thought about this for a long time, and there were two voices in his mind arguing with each other.

At the end when the noise was so loud that he couldn't hear the content clearly, Xie Tao clenched his right hand into a fist and knocked hard on his forehead a few times.

After knocking out the messy thoughts outside, Xie Tao walked towards the indoor pool in a clear direction.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he swam to the edge of the pool early. When the young mermaid cub gradually approached him, the ice-blue fish tail under the water became more obvious, and the blue eyes were fixed on it. on youth.

"Papa~"

Grabbing the young man's left trouser leg, the mermaid cub uttered two clear single sounds, and the expressionless and delicate little face seemed to be happy.

Cubs are just happy when they see their parents, and it's a very instinctive reaction.

When Xie Tao walked over, he took a towel, bent down and picked up the little mermaid from the pool, wrapped it in the towel to dry off the water on his body, and then hugged the cub mermaid into his arms.

Xie Tao hugged the little mermaid and sat on a wicker chair not far away. He lowered his head and gently wiped the little mermaid's hair with a towel while thinking about what he wanted to say to the little mermaid. talk.

As if he had noticed something from the young man's different expression, the young man didn't speak, and the mermaid cub was also acting very quiet now, with blue eyes still looking at his parents.

"Papa." Facing the cub's clean eyes, Xie Tao pointed to himself, and after a long pause, he said the second half of the sentence, "I will be Cal's Papa, the formal one, would Cal be willing?"

As soon as he said it, Xie Tao immediately felt that what he said was wrong, and the cub might not understand what he meant by formal.

But Xie Tao wanted to change his words at this time, he just opened his mouth slightly, before he could say anything, a soft touch from his cheek made him stop his voice.

The little mermaid tried hard to rub its cheek against the young man's face, because there was still some distance between the two, and the little mermaid tried hard to raise its head a little higher.

The tail fin flicked, and the ice-blue tail fin of this mermaid cub started to shake up and down like a small fan.

Although Xie Tao hadn't had time to react, he lowered his head reflexively when he saw the little mermaid in his arms trying to get closer to rub his cheek.

As a result, as soon as he lowered his head, the silky touch he felt on his cheek disappeared. Xie Tao just blinked, and the next second he felt as if his cheek had been slapped.

"Papa~papa~"

After uttering these two syllables in succession, the mermaid cub looked at Xie Tao without blinking. According to the instinct of the mermaid race, the little mermaid began to sing a very beautiful song.

The mermaid's singing is very attractive, and for the rest of the Rainbow Dash Club staff and cubs, this is the first time they've heard the little mermaid sing.

Just like the audience on the coast of Leina, several adults in the hall stopped their work and listened to the beautiful singing together.

The second time he heard the baby mermaid sing to him, listening to the singing, Xie Tao moved closer and kissed the little mermaid's forehead.

Adopting a cub must follow procedures, even if Xie Tao is the actual head of the Yunbao branch, he still has to follow the rules.

The identity issue has already been solved with money. Xie Tao obtained Gaia citizenship before, so there is no need to worry about this part of the proof.The rest of the certificates can be prepared with a little effort. After a few days, Xie Tao went to the adoption registration agency on Gaia Planet and handed in all the certificates.

Once the adoption procedures are completed, Xie Tao and the little mermaid in the branch will truly have a parent-child relationship.

It is true that Xie Tao has adopted a mermaid cub, and Xie Tao's work and life will not change much, but after a while, all the cub care associations in Interstellar will have a very important event for them .

Two months later, the Star Alliance will open the assessment application for all cub care clubs. This is an opportunity that only comes once every two years. The clubs that submit the application will receive on-site assessments by the personnel sent by the Star Alliance in order.

The assessment score determines whether a club can be ranked in the official list made by the Star Alliance, that is, the ranking list of excellent cub care clubs in the interstellar world. this list.

A list with a very high authority factor, of course every cub care club would want to occupy a good position on it, because this would enable them to gain corresponding fame.

The top 2500 are basically relatively stable, and the ranking changes in each assessment are relatively small, but the competition for the next [-] is fierce.

It can be said that these chapters put all their strength into every assessment. The ambitious chapters try their best to climb up, and the chapters that have developed slowly in recent years also strive to keep their rankings.

Originally, in previous years, Xia Qi didn't pay much attention to this matter, because if she wanted to apply for the assessment, the branch's hardware facilities and other aspects had to meet the minimum application requirements, but the Yunbao branch did not meet this requirement.

But their branch has now met the conditions and can apply for it——

Looking at some of the related discussions that had already started on Starnet, Xia Qi couldn't hold back her thoughts.
