Chapter 129: Ding! Please Collect Your Little Girl (1/2)

“Investigator Shen, are you really leaving now?” Gu Wen, walking down the corridor of the Demi-Humans Recovery Center, said reluctantly to Shen Cheng.

With a faint smile, Shen Cheng said, “I heard from Team Leader Qian that these Demi-Humans are ready for the next stage of treatment. My mission is almost finished. There’s nothing more to do at the Bio-Scientific Institute, and my family is waiting for me at home.”

“True… Oh, by the way, I heard that you’ve opened a Cat Café in Lingshi City, Investigator Shen. I’ll definitely visit when I get the chance.”

“Sure, I’ll treat you to coffee when you come.”

When Shen Cheng arrived at the classroom door, he pushed it open and entered. He immediately saw several Demi-Humans either staring blankly at the ceiling or fiddling with things on the desks.

It was important to note that no one had given them any instructions at that moment, but the Demi-Humans had already broken out of their puppet-like state and started finding things to do on their own.

Although their expressions were still somewhat blank, there was a trace of liveliness. At least, when Shen Cheng stood on the podium, he no longer felt unsettled by their gazes.

The happiest person about this was undoubtedly Qian Yi. As long as these Demi-Humans could possess even a sliver of self-awareness, their upcoming treatments would go smoothly without any issues!

Qian Yi even thought that if Shen Cheng stayed a few more days at the Bio-Scientific Institute, their team could probably disband altogether soon. It seemed that the Demi-Humans would be fully healed just by attending Shen Cheng’s lessons.

“Shen Cheng!”

“Shen… Cheng.”

Upon seeing Shen Cheng, Yingyu and Nana, who were fiddling with something along with a few other Demi-Humans, immediately greeted him.

Xinxin, however, ran straight to Shen Cheng, gently tugging on his sleeve.

Shen Cheng reached out to rub Xinxin’s head, then turned to face the other Demi-Humans, clapping his hands to signal them to look at him.

As soon as Shen Cheng’s clapping stopped, the Demi-Humans all turned their eyes to him, ceasing their movements and sitting obediently.

“Ahem…” Seeing this, Shen Cheng cleared his throat and began to speak, “Today is my last lesson with you all… well, it’s not really a lesson, just a short chat. I’m about to leave, and it’s been an honor to teach you during this time…”

Upon hearing this, the Demi-Humans sitting below the podium slightly raised their chins, their somewhat vacant pupils narrowing just a bit.

Feeling a tug on his sleeve, Shen Cheng turned his head to see Xinxin staring at him in a daze, her eyes filled with reluctance. “You’re… leaving now?”

“Yes, I still have things to take care of,” Shen Cheng sighed softly as he looked at Xinxin’s pitiful expression.

“I… want to go with Shen Cheng.” Xinxin’s small hand, still clutching Shen Cheng’s sleeve, unconsciously tightened. Shen Cheng smiled helplessly, rubbing her head again and softly said, “I can’t take you with me right now, but I promise you, very soon, I’ll bring you to live with me. How does that sound?”

He had already asked Yu Lan if he could take Xinxin and Yingyu with him when he left, but Yu Lan had told him their research wasn’t finished yet, so they couldn’t leave the Bio-Scientific Institute for the time being.

Hmm… perhaps one could also interpret it as: once their research was complete, he could take them away?

At least, that was how Shen Cheng understood it.

“Shen Cheng… I’ll wait here… for you!” At this moment, Yingyu wheeled herself over to Shen Cheng with a smile on her face.

“Alright!” Nodding at Yingyu, Shen Cheng once again looked at the Demi-Humans in the classroom.
