You can't be a good parent.
Knowing the answer from Zarad, Xie Luan's left eyelid twitched slightly.
Xie Luan can almost understand Morrison's mentality. It's not that the other party doesn't love the Riley cub, and it's not that he is unwilling to adopt it, but he is dissatisfied with himself and thinks that he is not suitable to be the parent of this cub.
But if you look at it from Xie Luan's eyes, there is no doubt that the other party as a parent must be on the standard line in his eyes.
Just because the other party decided to save the cub from such a dangerous battlefield, and after that, he took care of the cub and took good care of the cub, and the other party was qualified.
If Morrison can adopt the Riley cub, Xie Luan believes that it will help the cub overcome the psychological obstacles left by the war.
"Who is the baby writing on this?" Xie Luan squatted down and picked up the white paper that Riley Cub had scribbled with a color pen, and asked the cub standing beside the paper in a warm voice .
Asking this on purpose, when the voice fell, Xie Luan saw the fluffy Riley cub take a step closer to him.
"Gu~ Guji!"
While making a crisp cry, it kept waving its fins up and down. From the bright eyes, it was obvious that the cub was thinking of a very important person.
After listening to the cub's still immature voice, Xie Luan watched the Riley cub pick up a colored pen with its sharp beak, and scribbled again on the white paper he put down.
These colored pens and paper were brought by Xie Luan on a whim today to play with these cubs as toys. If the cubs really want to write and draw, they should use a prop called a sensor board in this world.
Usually, when the nurses of the Rainbow Branch teach the cubs Interstellar Common Language, they will distribute the induction boards to the cubs, so that the cubs can write on them to deepen their memory.
What does the cub's graffiti look like? Xie Luan looked at it. It was similar to the kindergarten painting style of his old baby in the world.
However, the lines are a little more crooked, after all, the induction board is not used.
On the white paper, in addition to the letters "papa", there is now a tall stickman in the blank space next to it.
This stickman has no left hand, brown eyes with two dots, and brown hair on his head. Next to the stickman's leg, there is a small circle with no specific shape, with two black eyes. This small circle is next to the stickman next to it, and it looks very intimate.
Although it was really a very rough graffiti painting, Xie Luan picked up the piece of white paper again, and while looking down at the painting, he couldn't help reaching out to touch the head of the Riley cub in front of him.
This graffiti painting is not difficult to understand. Several features of the stickman correspond to Morrison. Xie Luan knew at a glance who this cub drew.
"This is papa, this is a baby, right." Xie Luan pointed at the stickman and round ball on the white paper with his fingers, and said this to the Riley cub who raised his head and looked at him in a statement tone. sentence.
"Goo~"
In response, the little Riley cub wagged its short tail from side to side. As if he straightened his body up a bit, the cub's soft, hairy abdomen became more conspicuous, making him want to reach out and touch it twice.
Compared with the small circle, the stickman on the white paper is drawn very tall.
Xie Luan felt that this was Morrison's image in the cub's heart.
Keeping this graffiti painting first, Xie Luan had a vague plan in his mind. He thought of what to use as a breakthrough to make Morrison change his mind.
Summer is the season when the flame flower blooms. This kind of flower is a plant that only exists on a few planets, and Gaia happens to be one of them.
There is a flower bed with flame flowers in the courtyard of Yunbao Branch. In the early morning of the new weekend, Xie Luan cut a flower branch from this small flower bed and brought this flower branch to the living room.
The flame flower in this world is not the same as the one in Xie Luanyuan's world. The name is very vivid. The flower in Xie Luan's hand is indeed like a warm flame.
But this is a kind of fire that makes people feel warm and not burning, and in some festivals, fire flowers are often used as gifts for close ones.
Xie Luan put this flower branch and the previous graffiti painting in front of Riley's cub who was looking at the door from time to time, crouched down and tapped the cub's forehead with a finger, saying, "Papa will come over later. At that time, Riley gave him the flower first, and then showed him this piece of paper."
"Guji." With his head tilted to the right, the Riley cub responded obediently, first lowered his head and picked up the flower branch, and then looked at the door with his black eyes.
Probably due to the military style, Morrison came to the Rainbow Branch every week at a very fixed time. Xie Luan checked the time, and the other party would come over in a few minutes.
As Xie Luan expected, the other party also arrived on time today. When Morrison appeared in the room, Xie Luan watched the Riley cub, who was holding a flower branch, raise his fins and patted him. The opponent bumped into it.
The collision hit the opponent's leg, but the Riley cub did not hug the trouser legs of the adult in front this time, but took a step back and raised his head to the latter.
Afraid that the flower branch it was holding would fall off, the Riley cub didn't make a sound at this time, just looked at the adult in front of him with its dark black eyes, and waved the fins on both sides of the body one after another. .
Morrison was stunned for a rare moment when he saw the flower branch on the cub's pointed bird's beak, and then saw the pair of small fins that the cub was waving towards him, he bent down to take it This flower branch.
"Guck~"
After taking the flower branch, he heard the cry of the Riley cub. Morrison wanted to pick the cub up, but unexpectedly, the cub turned around and ran back after making a clear cry. He walked, and after a while, he ran towards him with a piece of paper in his mouth.
The white paper was folded two layers. Morrison took the paper as if he had just taken the flower branch. Facing the cub's bright eyes, Morrison unfolded the folded paper.
The first thing that catches Morrison's eyes is the two-syllable word that occupies almost half of the page.
papa.
There was a momentary pause in his gaze, and it took Morrison a few seconds to take his eyes off it.
But when he shifted his gaze to the right and saw a stickman graffiti on the right, Morrison's hand holding the paper unconsciously pinched a fold on the paper.
A stickman with only the right arm, with brown eyes and hair, and a small ball next to his leg...
"Guji, gujiguji—"
When Morrison looked at the graffiti, the Riley cub in front of him came over and hugged his trouser legs with fins, which was actually the exact same picture as the graffiti.
Looking down from the graffiti to the cub next to his leg, Morrison suddenly felt a dry throat.
"When you see this painting, you should know that you are like a hero in this cub's heart." Xie Luan said this sentence in a determined tone, looking at the Riley cub who was held in his arms by the other party, Continuing, "Riley's fear of thunder is a stress response after experiencing war. This psychological obstacle can be overcome. If the hero in his heart can become his parent, I believe it will be of great help in overcoming the obstacle."
Unable to understand the adult's complicated dialogue, Riley cub, who was held in Morrison's arms, only made a little noise at this moment, and arched his fluffy body into the adult's arms.
Feeling the arching movement in his arms, Morrison took another look at the scribbled graffiti on his hand. When the soreness in his throat was suppressed, he looked up at the young man in front of him, and finally nodded.
After completing the relevant procedures, Xie Luan submitted two documents to Gaia Star's adoption registration agency, one for Morrison's adoption of the Riley cub, and the other for Xie Luan's adoption of Nick.
Originally, Xie Luan was going to find time to come and register, but it happened to be submitted together this time. Recently, some parents have also consulted the cubs to be adopted in their branch on the star website. They are interested in adopting them, and they also said that they will find time to come to Gaia Star in person.
After registration, Morrison officially became the parent of the Riley cub.
Considering that the cub's stress response needs to be overcome by the other party by his side, and the other party has already retired from the Star Alliance Army, Xie Luan thought about it, and simply proposed the idea of letting the other party come to the Rainbow Branch to serve as a combat instructor.
This proposal was quickly accepted by the other party. On the day Xie Luan made the proposal, Morrison stayed in the staff dormitory directly, and started working as a combat mentor the next day.
"In terms of military rank, Morrison's military rank seems to be second only to the lieutenant general...?" Xia Qi said tremblingly, this was what Zarad said when he was gossiping, and also said that the other party was in a special unit. Elite.
Xie Luan nodded, even from the most basic combat teaching, he could already feel the opponent's extremely rich combat experience, not to mention that manipulating gravity is indeed a very rare mutation.
It is a joy to ask the other party to come to their branch to serve as a battle instructor.
Seeing Xie Luan nodding, the expression on Xia Qi's face changed slightly again, and she still felt unreal.
There are two powerful people at this level in their branch now, and Xia Qi thinks that their branch will probably no longer have to worry about safety issues in the future.
