Chapter 52: Milk Tea, Home… (1/2)

After stepping out of the canteen, Nana transformed, turning into a fierce character, completely different from her earlier quiet self. Ignoring Milk Tea’s warning look, she grabbed Shen Cheng’s arm: “Shen Cheng, Shen Cheng! Let’s have a match!”

“It’s not good to exercise vigorously after a meal.” Shen Cheng lightly flicked Nana’s forehead and sighed.

It seemed that Nana wasn’t fitting in here, no wonder she was so clingy from the beginning.

As Shen Cheng was pondering where to visit next, while rubbing Milk Tea’s fluffy head, he suddenly received a call from Li Ji: “Shen Cheng, come to the injection room!”

…

Since Shen Cheng had injected the Demi-Human Genetic Agent in the injection room last time, he was familiar with the route. Without needing to consult the map, he quickly found his way there, with Milk Tea and Nana naturally following behind.

Upon pushing open the door, he saw Li Ji sitting inside, pushing a syringe.

Li Ji was briefly surprised by the entry of Milk Tea and Nana but didn’t chase them away. Instead, with an excited face, he addressed Shen Cheng: “After running our matching tests, your genetic compatibility with other Demi-Humans still holds at an incredible value! After discussions with the higher-ups at the Bio-Scientific Institute, we have decided to proceed with the second injection of the Demi-Human Genetic Agent. This one is the dog Demi-Human Genetic Agent in my hands!”

“You are about to become the world’s only multi-Demi-Human genetic adapter!”

“Huh? Shen Cheng can have a second Demi-Human Genetic Agent injected?” Nana, now a Specialized Agent, was evidently familiar with the concept of genetic adaptation. Hearing this, she quickly approached Li Ji and eagerly asked: “Why not the tiger Demi-Human Genetic Agent? Hasn’t it been developed yet?”

“That’s right,” Li Ji replied without hesitation. “For large Demi-Humans like yourself, it’s the first time our Bio-Scientific Institute has had one. The research direction for your genetic agent is vastly different from the smaller Demi-Humans we’ve dealt with before. You could say the tiger Demi-Human Genetic Agent is an entirely unexplored field for us. It will take some time before we develop it. However, the time won’t be long. If Shen Cheng completes the dog Demi-Human Genetic Agent injection, the third injection should be the tiger Demi-Human Genetic Agent!”

Before Shen Cheng could respond, Li Ji laughed heartily: “When the time comes, with three types of Demi-Human genetics, you’ll be our Bio-Scientific Institute’s greatest asset!”

Shen Cheng forced a dry laugh, feeling that things might not be as simple as they seemed.

The syringe containing the dog Demi-Human Genetic Agent was soon empty. After the injection, Li Ji leaned forward, staring intently at Shen Cheng and suddenly asked: “How do you feel?”

Shen Cheng furrowed his brow and shook his arm, saying: “Your injection technique isn’t as good as Yu Lan’s.”

Li Ji: “…”

He was willing to bet that if Shen Cheng’s nonchalant demeanor were seen by those who had experienced excruciating pain during their Demi-Human genetic fusion, they would probably want to fight him!

With the wound healed, the injection complete, and Milk Tea found, Shen Cheng had no reason to stay any longer.

As they walked down the corridor, Milk Tea was unusually happy, muttering non-stop: “Going home with Master…”

Seeing Nana’s unnatural expression, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but ask: “Do you want to go back to Mo Xinya?”

Nana shook her head: “My presence would only trouble my mom. Even if you hadn’t taken me in, I would’ve found a way to sneak away. Life here is much easier than wandering and avoiding people. Why would I want to go back…”

—She just felt a bit lonely.

Though Nana didn’t say this aloud, Shen Cheng could read it clearly on her face.

Maybe it was because of the animal bloodline suppression? The other Demi-Humans unconsciously avoided Nana, and aside from them, there were very few people at the Bio-Scientific Institute. This left Nana mostly alone.

If Mo Xinya knew this, she would probably cry for days…

When they reached the outside of the Bio-Scientific Institute, Nana’s ears and tail drooped: “Are you leaving already?”

“Yeah,” Shen Cheng nodded, then suddenly said: “Lingxue and Ximing are quite easy to get along with. You should try hanging out with them.”

Nana’s tail wagged slightly as she nodded vigorously: “Okay!”

After getting into the car with Milk Tea, Shen Cheng heard Nana calling again: “Shen Cheng!”

Turning back, he saw Nana’s serious expression: “If you see my mom, please tell her… I’m doing well! I’m counting on you!”

“…” After a moment of silence, Shen Cheng smiled softly and nodded: “Sure.”

…

By the time the car entered Lingshi City, it was already nighttime. Milk Tea, who had clung to Shen Cheng for a while, eventually grew tired and fell asleep in the back seat.

Milk Tea’s ID card had long been arranged by the Bio-Scientific Institute, and the name on it was Shen Cha, which left Shen Cheng at a loss for words.

It seemed he would need to be more thoughtful when naming things in the future. He hadn’t even married, yet the Shen family had already grown by three members.
