Chapter 117: Liu Su’s Devilish Training (1/2)

When Shen Cheng heard Little Qi call out “mother,” his panicked movements suddenly froze.

Mother… mother?

Me, this handsome, suave, and masculine man… you call me “mother”?

Looking at Little Qi’s dazed expression again, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but frown slightly.

The current Little Qi still seemed to be in a puppet-like state, her consciousness not fully recovered. Everything she did at this moment must have been a direct expression from her innermost feelings.

So, deep down, Little Qi already thought of me as her mother?

“Investigator Shen, I heard that Little Qi showed signs of regaining self-awareness?!” Suddenly, the classroom door was forcefully pushed open, and the man in a white lab coat, who had initially led Shen Cheng here, burst in, looking like he’d been injected with adrenaline, his eyes laser-focused on Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng was slightly taken aback, while Little Qi blankly turned her head as well.

When the man saw Little Qi’s tear-streaked face, he immediately froze in place, his face visibly turning red.

“Well… actually…” Shen Cheng awkwardly began to explain, stammering, but he didn’t know how to explain, and could only wave his hand stiffly.

“Leader, this matter isn’t fully confirmed yet, you don’t need to be so anxious…” At that moment, Gu Wen jogged over, leaning on the doorframe, panting heavily.

When he noticed the man’s flushed face, Gu Wen was slightly taken aback. “Leader?”

“Little…” The red-faced man struggled for a moment before managing to utter a word. Then his eyes widened, and in a tone full of excitement, he shouted, “Little Qi cried!”

The loud voice startled the Demi-Humans who were scattered around the classroom, and Shen Cheng even felt the desk in front of him shake a little.

Shen Cheng: “…”

Was Little Qi crying really something to be that happy about?

“What? Little Qi cried?” Gu Wen was also shocked when he heard it. Then he hurriedly stuck his head into the classroom. When he saw the tear streaks on Little Qi’s face, he too beamed with joy, “Little Qi really cried! That’s great!”

Shen Cheng: “…”

In the next moment, it was like a stone had stirred up a thousand waves. Shen Cheng suddenly felt the ground shake, and a chaotic sound of footsteps echoed from the hallway. The classroom window was suddenly flung open, and a researcher in a white lab coat poked his head in, asking, “Little Qi cried?”

“Is it true?” At the same time, a head popped out from the back door of the classroom, and soon several more heads appeared from both the front and back doors and the windows. Before long, the entire classroom was surrounded by a crowd of white-coated people.

Locked by the gazes from all directions, Shen Cheng nervously held Little Qi, a drop of cold sweat falling from his forehead. It felt as if he had been caught committing a crime, and he couldn’t help but feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The leader was the first to come to his senses, quickly waving his hand and saying, “Disperse! All of you, disperse! Don’t just stand around here, you’re embarrassing the group!”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd immediately scattered, showing that this leader still held considerable authority.

However, the leader’s authority had already shattered into pieces in Shen Cheng’s eyes…

Once the crowd dispersed, the leader approached Shen Cheng with a serious expression. He nodded at Shen Cheng before crouching down to observe Little Qi.

Seeing that Little Qi’s expression remained blank, her eyes dull, with no other changes apart from the tear streaks on her face and slightly swollen eyes, the leader frowned slightly. He looked up at Shen Cheng and asked, “Before we arrived, other than crying, did Little Qi exhibit any other unusual behavior?”

Hearing this, Shen Cheng rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before replying, “Before she cried, she called me… mother?”
