Chapter 129: Ding! Please Sign for Your Little Girl (2/2)

At that moment, the Demi-Humans still had indifferent expressions and did not show much reaction to Shen Cheng’s words.

Having anticipated this, Shen Cheng was not too surprised. After bidding farewell to the Demi-Humans, he turned around and walked toward the classroom door, ready to leave.

However, just as Shen Cheng reached the door and was about to push it open, a figure blocked his way.

Slightly startled, Shen Cheng looked at the face in front of him and saw that it was the Husky Demi-Human from among the group, standing at the door. Although her expression remained as wooden and dull as ever, Shen Cheng seemed to read a hint of… determination in her eyes.

Was she… trying to stop me from leaving?

Slowly raising the hand that had been reaching for the doorknob, Shen Cheng gently patted the top of her head, smiling softly as he said, “Don’t worry, I’ll come back to visit you again, okay?”

“…” Upon hearing this, the dog Demi-Human was silent for a moment before wordlessly stepping aside to let Shen Cheng pass.

Turning around, Shen Cheng noticed that the other Demi-Humans had unknowingly left their seats and were now surrounding him.

Seeing the trace of reluctance in their otherwise vacant eyes, Shen Cheng felt a warmth in his heart.

“Is this… the beginning of them developing emotions?” Gu Wen, witnessing the scene, was slightly surprised as well.

After all, the fact that Shen Cheng had been able to spark a bit of independent thought in them was already a rare feat.

Now… these Demi-Humans had even begun to develop emotions… for Shen Cheng.

There was no doubt in Gu Wen’s mind: if Shen Cheng continued teaching them for a while longer, their team’s involvement would no longer be necessary, and the Demi-Humans’ issues would resolve themselves.

As Shen Cheng walked out of the classroom, he saw Qian Yi already waiting for him at the door, holding Little Qi’s hand.

“Investigator Shen, this child seems to be even closer to you than the other Demi-Humans, and as promised, you can take Little Qi with you when you leave.” Qian Yi smiled at Shen Cheng before letting go of Little Qi’s hand. Once released, Little Qi immediately walked over to Shen Cheng’s leg and looked up at him with a blank expression.

At that moment, Shen Cheng felt as if a sound echoed in his head.

Ding! Please sign for your little girl!

Bending down, Shen Cheng picked up Little Qi and playfully pinched her soft cheeks, smiling as he said, “Let’s go home with teacher, alright?”

Little Qi didn’t speak, only nodding her head with an expressionless face, as if agreeing.

Carrying Little Qi, Shen Cheng walked out of the Demi-Humans Recovery Center. At the same time, Xinxin was holding onto Shen Cheng’s clothes, following closely beside him, while Nana pushed Yingyu’s wheelchair from behind, insisting on accompanying Shen Cheng for a bit longer.

“Master!” Just as they reached the outside, Xue’er came running from afar, holding a silver case in her arms. “This is the box you asked me to bring!”

Taking the box, Shen Cheng smiled and nodded at Xue’er. “Thanks for your hard work.”

“No, no! I wouldn’t have let you go without walking you a little further!” Xue’er scratched her head with a silly grin.

Weighing the silver case in his hand, feeling the familiar weight inside, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but smile.

This was the surprise for Wen Yuanyuan, something he definitely couldn’t forget.
