Before he went to the pet store to pick up a little guy who might be naughty, Gu Mingyuan had learned about the various troubles that might arise when raising a pet.
For example, some animals will destroy the house, some don’t want to take a bath, and most of them hate going to the hospital.
Just like orc cubs, small animals kept as pets will often make trouble, be disobedient, and even engage in various acts of resistance.
They may use their owner's bed as a toilet, or scratch or bite their owner.
Gu Mingyuan had already prepared himself mentally.
It's not like he hasn't seen other people raising pets and children, and he would teach them a lesson when it's time to do so.
After all, all living things have the instinct to feel pain and to submit.
But I didn't expect that when the time really came, the actual situation would be different.
…Whoever’s child it is, he or she will feel sorry for it.
The little girl looks so pitiful that it takes a lot of self-control not to say "okay, okay" to her. Who would be willing to teach her a lesson
After Gu Mingyuan entered the address, he patted Mu Le's head and tried to comfort her: "The hospital is not scary. Haven't you been there before?"
Mu Le still held his wrist, and when he raised his hand to touch her head, she also raised her arm and looked at him with extraordinary innocence.
Can it be the same now as when I first came here
At that time she didn't understand anything, even if someone told her "You are dreaming now!" she would believe it.
"… I know."
Mu Le withdrew his hand, shrank back in his seat, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm different."
Gu Mingyuan looked at her.
She glanced at Gu Mingyuan cautiously, then retracted her gaze and continued, "I'm different from everyone else. If I go for a checkup, I'll be discovered. I'm scared. I still want to go to school and be with Yuanyuan. I don't want to be taken away..."
Mu Le was just acting coquettishly, but as she spoke, she actually felt a little sad.
Fortunately, she woke up in the pet shop that day, stretched out her arms, and grabbed Gu Mingyuan accurately.
If it were someone else, she would have been sent for autopsy long ago.
Gu Mingyuan sighed, stretched out his fingers and gently touched her face: "Who said they wanted to take you away?"
Mu Le didn't dare to look at him.
The aggrieved and frightened look is just like that of an abandoned animal.
"No one can take you away." Gu Mingyuan said, "The doctor in charge is my friend and won't say anything nonsense."
Hope slowly ignited in Mu Le's eyes.
She looked up at Gu Mingyuan and asked carefully, "Really?"
Gu Mingyuan nodded: "I never lie."
Dragons are creatures that cannot lie.
Mu Le hugged his arm and asked, "What if there is something wrong with my body and I need expensive treatment? What should I do?"
When she said the first sentence, Gu Mingyuan wanted to tell her not to talk nonsense, but after she finished speaking, he felt distressed.
The original pet store manager said that the cub was caught deep in the forest. It is possible that it was abandoned there.
He never imagined that Mu Le fell into the forest suddenly.
Gu Mingyuan patiently comforted her: "It's okay. You are in good health."
A sad expression appeared on Mu Le's little face: "It depends on what the doctor says."
Gu Mingyuan: “… …” So who didn’t want to see a doctor just now
…
The hospital is still a familiar hospital.
It is the hospital where Lan Mo lives, but it is still early today and Lan Mo has not come to work yet.
Mu Le was no stranger to hospital facilities.
However, because I didn’t speak the language at all when I first came here, I couldn’t understand most of the conversations, let alone the text.
So this time, the feeling is completely different.
I visit Lanjia Hospital twice a year and I have new feelings every time.
There are a lot of orcs in the hospital, and everyone is in a hurry. Except that the buildings and equipment look more high-tech, everything else is no different from what you see on Earth.
Even in the interstellar age, living things are still insignificant in the face of disease and death.
Gu Mingyuan held her and walked forward, and Mu Le just had to lie on him and wait.
The journey was a bit long, and Mu Le, who hadn't taken a nap, felt a bit sleepy in the car. Gu Mingyuan held her in his arms and walked very steadily, so she soon began to feel confused.
The person who came to see Gu Mingyuan was a middle-aged man in his forties.
The other person was wearing a white coat, his brown hair was parted in the middle, there were long horns on both sides of his head sticking out, and there was a small tuft of beard on his chin.
It's an antelope.
He stroked his beard with a smile and greeted Gu Mingyuan: "You came so quickly. Is it so urgent?"
Gu Mingyuan hugged Mu Le and patted her back gently.
Mu Le, who almost fell asleep on Gu Mingyuan, rubbed his eyes and looked at the orc in front of him in a daze.
"Hello, my name is Yuan Xi. You can just call me Lao Yuan." He stretched out his hand to Mu Le, as if he wanted to touch her, "Don't be nervous..."
Gu Mingyuan stared at him.
Yuan Xi withdrew his hand awkwardly, touched his nose, and his voice gradually became quieter: "... Anyway, the hospital can't be more scary than Gu Mingyuan."
Mu Le lay on Gu Mingyuan and looked at him with disapproval.
Yuan Xi: “…”
He decided to keep quiet and took Mu Le for a simple physical examination.
The testing machine was something Mu Le had never seen before. It was like a huge doorway and all he had to do was stand upright inside it.
This completes a comprehensive examination.
Then they pricked my finger with a small needle and took some blood for basic tests.
After doing all this, Yuan Xi immediately called up the optical computer and checked Mu Le's data on the spot.
"... She is very healthy." Yuan Xi concluded succinctly, "Her physique is below average among orcs... She has too little muscle. She can supplement her nutrition and exercise more often."
Gu Mingyuan: "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
"No." Yuan Xi waved his hand. "Just get two shots of vaccine. Even orc children get them."
Mu Le: “… …qaq”
She had that expression again.
Gu Mingyuan was afraid that she would cry, so he immediately squatted down beside her and comforted her: "It's okay, it's just an injection."
Mu Le: “…” You probably haven’t seen the scene of children being vaccinated on Earth.
There are children who are not afraid, but a child who is afraid of injections can make the whole audience cry.
One after another, a chain reaction of wailing broke out.
She guessed that injections in this place would be different from those on Earth.
Sure enough, I felt almost nothing when I got the injection, even less than the tiny mosquito bite I felt during the blood test.
The entire physical examination takes less than an hour to complete.
After leaving the hospital, Gu Mingyuan took Mu Le out for dinner again.
This time when he was ordering, Gu Mingyuan's computer received another call. He stood up and went out to answer it. Mu Le did not doubt him and said with a smile: "Then I'll order."
Gu Mingyuan nodded.
He walked out the door and answered the call: "Lao Yuan."
"Hey. You said before that the human could understand everything, but I didn't quite believe it." Yuan Xi sighed, "Her body is very similar to the main body of an adult orc. She is completely an orc without any racial characteristics... It's so strange. A creature without any racial characteristics? Is this a human? No, no, she is still..."
Once this man was immersed in his own thoughts, he began to analyze and talk nonstop, wishing he could write a paper on the spot to discuss the connections and differences between humans and orcs.
"... Lao Yuan." Gu Mingyuan had to interrupt him, "Is there something wrong with her body?"
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment: "Ah, ah? Problem? There is no problem! Didn't I just say after the examination that the child is very healthy, but he needs to supplement nutrition and strengthen exercise..."
Gu Mingyuan added: "But she grows up very fast."
Yuan Xi: "Are you saying that she grew 10 centimeters taller in less than half a month?"
Gu Mingyuan: “Yeah.”
"I've done a lot of research on humans," Yuan Xi answered him. "This growth rate is indeed a bit fast, but it's also understandable. The orc cubs change every day during their development. The human body is different from the orc's..."
He started again.
Gu Mingyuan rubbed his brows and asked again: "Will she age quickly?"
"No, logically speaking, I won't." Yuan Xi answered him, "Don't worry, humans have a long lifespan, so take good care of you. Ancient books say that humans can live over a hundred years. If I take good care of you, I can send you off."
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
After he ended the call, he returned to the restaurant's private room.
Mu Le had already ordered the food and was lying on the table reading her e-book.
When she found Gu Mingyuan coming in, she closed the book and looked up at him: "I have ordered the food, but...is it bad for us to always eat out?"
Gu Mingyuan: “Hmm?”
"Restaurant, eat." Mu Le looked at the menu with a worried look on his face, "It's too expensive."
Gu Mingyuan, who didn't think it was expensive, said: "..."
The child is so young, but he has already learned to help the family save money.
Mu Le felt bad about eating out every day.
… This kind of heartache completely disappeared an hour later when I saw the dazzling array of holographic games in the mall.
There are many shopping guide machines patrolling back and forth in the mall. If you want something, just say it and it will be brought to you immediately. There are seats and amusement facilities for people to rest all around, as well as some free game equipment.
At the same time, there are many delivery carts that can proactively help customers pick up goods or take customers to the area they want to go.
Gu Mingyuan picked up a shopping cart at the door.
It's not the kind that needs to be pushed, but one that you can just sit in and drive around the mall.
After he entered the destination, the shopping cart drove smoothly towards the holographic game area.
After arriving there, Mu Le was completely dazzled.
In fact, she hadn't decided what game she wanted to play. There were many types of games on the shelves. There were many similar games on Earth, so she could roughly guess the types of games. There were also many more games that she had never heard of and she had no idea how to play them.
Mu Le had no experience, and Gu Mingyuan was not much better than her.
In the end, Mule decided to choose based on his intuition.
She bought three games in total. One looked like a business simulation game that could be used to kill time. She couldn't tell what the remaining two were, but she chose them because the packaging looked good.
Along with the holographic game, you will also get a matching gaming device.
When Mu Le was choosing a game, he could still convince himself - don't be afraid of the high price, just ask Gu Mingyuan to buy it!
When I saw the price of the gaming equipment, I couldn't hold my head high anymore, and my legs even felt a little weak.
She clung to Gu Mingyuan's arm, thinking that she would be filial to her sponsor when she made money in the future, at least she would have to pay back the money for this game console...
The author has something to say: Later, Mu Le said: I can’t pay it back. Can I pledge my love to you
Gu Mingyuan: … … (feeling moved)
——
There will be two more chapters, in the afternoon, before six o'clock~
I read everyone’s comments!!!
My sisters are so strong. I laughed so hard that I fainted. The comment section is simply a source of happiness. Hahahaha!
The male protagonist is our macho breeder!!!
Explain his name!!
His name "Mingyuan" was taken from the description of the dragon in "Shuowen Jiezi": it ascends to the sky at the spring equinox and dives into the abyss at the autumnal equinox.
"Ming" means soaring in the sky during the spring equinox, and "Yuan" means diving into the deep pool during the autumnal equinox.
When naming it, people probably hoped that this baby dragon would be able to soar into the sky, but also be able to calm down and endure loneliness.
The younger brother “Mingzhou” is different, because “zhou” refers to the land on the water.
Maybe the eldest brother was too bored, so he hoped that this baby dragon could soar in the sky and not land on the continent.
