Although the pool is built indoors and is close to where other cubs often play, most of the non-aquatic cubs are only average in their interest in playing with water, even if they can swim, they are less interested. 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 in the water.
When the time comes to climb ashore, the cubs have to shake their bodies, shake off the water on their bodies, and then slowly wait for the fluff on their bodies to dry out again.
Of course, in reality, when Xie Luan saw a wet and fluffy cub crawling out of the pool, Xie Luan would take a large towel to wrap the cub, hold it in his arms, and use the towel first. Give the pup a body rub.
After drying the body of the cub, Xie Luan used something similar to a hair dryer to blow the cub's fur.
The whole process doesn't take much time.
The main reason is that the branch has not yet built a small drying room to match the pool, so this has to be done manually. Xie Luan didn't mind blowing hair to the cubs in his branch, but these cubs didn't bother him often, only once or twice a week.
Looking at this situation, Xie Luan has actually been worried about the mermaid cub living in the pool. Most of the time, he is always alone, which is obviously harmful to the cub's mental health.
Just picked up by the young man, when his four feet were off the ground, the Maya cub, who was carrying a thick and hard armor like a small turtle, kicked its four short legs in the air.
Until the young man was firmly held in his arms and stepped on the real thing, the Moye cub obediently settled down again.
Xie Luan was amused by the cub's kicking action, and couldn't help but let out a low laugh.
But seeing this little turtle-like Maya cub turned his eyes to look at him, and hummed a few times, Xie Luan raised his hand to touch the cub's hard carapace, and explained with a smile: " Not laughing at you."
Raising its head, the Moye cub shook the pointed little tail behind it, and hummed quite obediently.
Looks like a good boy too.
Xie Luan lightly poked the dark hard back of the cub in his arms with his index finger, and his mood became brighter.
The two cubs are so well-behaved that they can get along well if they stay together.
On the way Xie Luan carried the Moye cub to the indoor pool, several other adults in the room cast some curious glances at the cub.
They have never cared for a Maya cub before, but this cub looks good and shouldn't be difficult to take care of.
As soon as he got close to the indoor pool two or three meters away, Xie Luan saw the head of the mermaid cub that had been lurking under the water, and then the beautiful blue eyes looked at him. After a while, he reached the edge of the pool.
"a~"
The small fish tail covered with icy blue scales swayed gently under the water. The merman cub put his hands on the edge of the pool and made a slightly inaudible monophonic sound to the approaching human youth.
The sensory abilities of alien races are generally stronger than those of humans. This mermaid cub has already memorized 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.
He still vaguely heard the sound of the mermaid cub. Although the syllables that the cub could make were very monotonous, Xie Luan could still hear the mood of the mermaid cub from the subtle tone change by listening carefully.
For example, the sound just now should be an expression of happiness.
The water in the pool was clear and bottomless, and Xie Luan could see the small caudal fin of the mermaid cub waving under the water when he approached the edge of the pool.
You can also see a beautiful 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 Luan ordered from a cub supplies store on Xing.com. I heard that this kind of shell bed is very popular with some mermaid cubs and is a popular model, so Xie Luan 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, he squatted down and put the cub Moye he was holding on the ground next to him. Xie Luan reached out and touched the short blond hair of the little mermaid nearby, and said softly to the other party, "This is the baby who just moved into our branch. My name is Totu, and you can play together often in the future."
After speaking, Xie Luan went to touch the hard back armor of the Maya cub who was raising his head to look at him, and said in the same soft tone: "This mermaid baby is called Cal, and it has not left the pool yet. The ability... If there is a good baby who wants to play with it often, it will be very happy."
Thinking that it was a good baby, the Moye cub snorted to the young man next to him, and slowly climbed a few steps to the edge of the pool, successfully crawling into the pool before tipping over.
After climbing into the pool, the movements of the Maya cub became much more flexible.
Not afraid of tipping over in the water, the cub swam closer to the mermaid cub and tried to grunt twice, which was a gesture of friendship by the Maya to others.
It was the first time I met an aquatic race like myself in the Rainbow Dash Club. This mermaid cub first glanced at the human youth squatting on the edge of the pool, and then it learned the movement of the youth just now and raised its right hand on the Maya. The clan cub's hard carapace touched very lightly.
Also trying to respond with a low breath, the merman cub in the pool was trying his best to communicate with this new companion.
Now the temperature displayed by the water temperature device under the pool is 18°C, which Xie Luan adjusted according to the tips in "Cub Encyclopedia".
The water temperature that the cubs of the mermaid race likes most is 18℃. Xie Luan thought about it at this time. He remembered that the Maya tribe did not have a specific water temperature preference, so the temperature of the pool should not need to be fine-tuned.
The indoor pool is obviously much larger than the small pool in the courtyard, and it is no problem to let the two cubs swim together.
The initial communication seemed to be okay. Xie Luan saw the little mermaid taking the Maya cub to visit its shell bed underwater, and then watched the little turtle-like Maya cub gently shaking the pointed little creature behind it while visiting. Tail, suddenly relieved seventy-eighty-eight.
Xie Luan 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 to go and prepare food for the cubs with other nurses, Xie Luan rubbed himself. With numb legs crossed, he stood up from the edge of the pool.
Just as he was about to turn around, Xie Luan saw the mermaid cub swimming on the other side swimming in front of him again, and could not help but stop.
The mermaid cub reached out his hand eagerly and grabbed his trouser leg, "pa..."
It means to let him not leave first. Xie Luan could at least understand this, so he squatted down and touched the short blonde hair of the mermaid cub, and asked warmly, "What's wrong?"
The little hands on the trouser legs were tightly gripped, and before he heard a response, Xie Luan comforted him first: "I'm not leaving."
Hearing this sentence, the mermaid cub made another single sound, confirming that the young man in front of him would not leave, and it finally slowly let go.
After letting go, the mermaid cub quickly dived to the bottom of the water, swam to the shell bed for a few seconds, and then swam back to Xie Luan.
"Pa—" Holding something in front of the young man, the mermaid cub tried his best to make a louder voice, which was indeed the clearest single sound this cub had ever made.
Looking at the hands that came close to him, Xie Luan originally thought that the mermaid cub was going to give him spar as before, and wanted to say warmly to the cub that he could no longer deliberately rub his eyes, but Xie However, Luan saw something unexpected from the hand of the mermaid cub.
Is it... scales
Seeing a small piece of ice-blue scales in the hands of the mermaid cub, Xie Luan couldn't help but froze for a moment.
Has this pup lost its scales
Before he had time to think about this question, Xie Luan took the ice-blue scale first under the expectant eyes of the mermaid cub.
This should be given to him, or meant to be kept by him...
After taking this scale, Xie Luan saw the caudal fin of the mermaid cub swaying under the water, looking very happy.
Whether giving it to him or asking him to keep it, Xie Luan had to keep the scales away.
I just bought a small box to put the spar given to him by the mermaid cub, and this scale can also be put in and kept.
Now the mermaid cub no longer stopped him from leaving, Xie Luan touched the little mermaid's short hair again, and then went to the place where everyone in the house was.
Taking a few small bottles to prepare milk powder, Xie Luan heard Xia Qi ask him, "A Luan, what's that shiny thing in your pocket?"
From Xia Qi's point of view, she could just see a small piece of shiny thing in the young man's pocket, so she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked a question.
"The scales that little Carl gave me." Without thinking much, Xie Luan answered truthfully.
Gal... the merfolk cub...
Scales
Everyone around who heard this sentence was stunned. If they remembered correctly, the cubs of the mermaid tribe would give the first scale they lost to their parents for safekeeping.
If this logic is followed, it means... This mermaid cub treats the human youth in front of them as a parent?
