Chapter 125: Is This a Little White Dog? (2/2)

——One day, I will restore you to the form I imagined…

Shen Cheng silently made this vow in his heart, then stood up and resumed teaching the other Demi-Humans how to knead Mantou.

“Xinxin, what are you shaping?” Shen Cheng asked with a smile as he approached Xinxin from behind. Seeing her face covered in small patches of flour, he wiped her face with his sleeve.

“Hmm…” Xinxin let out a short sound as her face was rubbed. When Shen Cheng pulled his hand back, she turned to show him what she had been shaping.

Seeing the lump on the table, which vaguely resembled a four-legged animal, Shen Cheng hesitated for a moment before smiling and saying, “Is this… a little dog?”

“Yes… it’s Gray,” Xinxin turned to look at Shen Cheng and softly replied.

Shen Cheng: “…”

Seeing Shen Cheng’s expression darken slightly, Xinxin blinked and gently tugged at his sleeve, asking, “Shen Cheng… are you sad? Don’t worry, Gray is just… sleeping.”

“I’m fine…” Shen Cheng forced a smile, rubbing Xinxin’s little head. “Don’t worry about me. Your Little Gray… hmm, it looks just like him!”

“Mm.” Xinxin nodded and turned back to continue kneading her dough.

…

Although it was only meant to be a short class, Shen Cheng ended up teaching until lunchtime.

It wasn’t that the Bio-Scientific Institute was overworking Shen Cheng, but rather his own sense of responsibility pushed him to extend the lesson.

Qian Yi certainly didn’t object, in fact, he was almost bursting with joy.

He could clearly sense that these Demi-Humans taught by Shen Cheng were already showing faint signs of gaining consciousness!

The progress of this one day was almost equivalent to an entire month’s worth of advancement!

Even during lunchtime, Shen Cheng didn’t leave the Bio-Scientific Institute’s main building but stayed in the Demi-Human rehabilitation center, seemingly determined not to leave until the Demi-Humans were fully taught.

“Gu Wen, I have a hunch,” Qian Yi said softly as he sat with Shen Cheng and the other Demi-Humans in the canteen. “I feel that on the day Investigator Shen leaves, there will be a major breakthrough in their treatment!”

“Hmm, but unlike you, Leader Qian,” Gu Wen replied with a smile, “I’m not just guessing—I’m certain that Investigator Shen will cure them.”

“…” Qian Yi was silent for a moment before sighing and looking up at the sky, murmuring to himself, “Could he really possess a constitution that draws Demi-Humans towards him… It feels like he was born for them…”

Sitting at the canteen table in the Demi-Human rehabilitation center, Shen Cheng held Little Qi in his arms, smiling as he gently patted Little Qi’s head, “It’s time to eat…”

Little Qi remained expressionless, sitting motionless on Shen Cheng’s lap.

“Wow, right now, you really look like an old father,” Nana, who was sitting to Shen Cheng’s left, couldn’t help but comment.

“Ahem…” Hearing this, Shen Cheng awkwardly coughed twice and quickly said, “Alright, let’s eat! Remember to eat the little figure you made! No wasting food.”

For today’s lunch, Shen Cheng had led the Demi-Humans in making Mantou, accompanied by some delicate side dishes, which made for an appetizing meal.

Though… all the Mantou on the table came in all sorts of odd shapes and sizes—big, small, round, long—some were downright strange.

“I know, I know!” Nana impatiently glanced at the dough figure on her plate, but then she made a face and said, “It’s still so ugly… I don’t even feel like eating it…”

Shen Cheng: “…”
