The Little Mermaid Fell for the Jiaoren 58

Chapter 58: Soothing

Little Teddy had previously lived in the fringe areas of the capital star. It wasn’t a wealthy family, but he had warm clothes to wear every day, could fill his stomach, had a father and mother who loved him, and a cute little brother who had just been born and couldn’t yet call him “big brother.”

Before the aliens were discovered, Little Teddy’s first atavism was at home. His parents didn’t dare to take him to the hospital. They locked him at home and went through the procedures for him to drop out of school.

Every time they took Little Teddy out to play, they would put a fluffy woolen hat on him to cover his dog ears.

It wasn’t until three years ago that the existence of the aliens could no longer be hidden, and everything changed.

Dr. Li sighed. Hearing the sound from outside the door, she paused, then turned to look. When she saw who it was, she was a little surprised and said in a low voice, “Marshal.”

Logically, the Marshal should never set foot in the rescue station again.

Si Jisheng looked inside and shook his head slightly.

Dr. Li became quiet again.

Si Jisheng watched quietly for a while before he turned sideways and gestured.

Dr. Li immediately understood and said to the doctor beside her, “Watch them. If anyone suddenly goes berserk, control them immediately. Don’t let them get hurt.”

The doctor quickly nodded his head.

Dr. Li followed the Marshal out and said, “Although the rescue station has always had your financial support and is much better than it was three years ago, it still can’t afford so many alien children. The problem still needs to be solved at the source.”

Si Jisheng inspected the various measures of the rescue station. His voice was without emotion. “The military has been in contact with the Interstellar Alliance, proposing to first draft a《Alien Convention》for the entire galaxy, but…”

His voice gradually faded away.

Only then did the doctor turn back and look inside the hall.

The golden-haired youth in the wheelchair was smiling slightly, his lips curved as he extended his clean fingertips to touch the cubs’ heads, stroking their fur without a care.

Deng Xi asked, one by one, “What species are you?”

Little Teddy was about to raise his hand when he was stopped by Bunny. “Big brother, guess!”

Deng Xi “hmm”-ed. “I guess he’s a little dog!”

Little Teddy jumped up. “Brother guessed right, so amazing!”

A little boy with green cat eyes came over. He seemed a little shy and walked forward timidly, but he didn’t say a single word, just stared at Deng Xi with his cat eyes.

Deng Xi also stroked his head. “Are you a little cat?”

The cat-eyed boy, like a little cat, tilted his head and rubbed against Deng Xi’s palm, revealing a soft smile. His open, smiling lips were empty, and he no longer had a cat’s tongue.

Deng Xi’s breath hitched violently.

Before he could react, the cat-eyed boy turned around and, with a struggle, pulled over a little boy who had been squeezed in the outer circle and had not dared to come forward.

The little boy was the one Deng Xi had seen before. His body was covered in a layer of brown fur. He seemed a little self-conscious and kept his head down, not daring to look at Deng Xi.

The cat-eyed boy was very anxious to push the little boy in front of Deng Xi, and he was “ah—ah—”-ing.

Bunny raised his hand. “Let me, let me!”

Only then did the cat-eyed boy quiet down.

Bunny said to the helpless Deng Xi, “This is Xiaoye! They usually play together.”

They were very good friends.

Bunny translated, “He’s saying that Xiaoye also wants to play with you. Big brother, don’t be afraid of him.”

Deng Xi was stunned for a moment, then extended his hand in a friendly manner and greeted, “Hello.”

Only then did Xiaoye weakly raise his face.

His face was surprisingly fair and clean, without any fur. He looked like he was wearing a little bear coat. His eyes were also wet. He wiped his fluffy hands on his body and nervously touched Deng Xi’s hand.

He only touched it once, and then quickly separated.

But the next second, the fluffy little hand was wrapped in Deng Xi’s hand.

The little merman’s hand was not big either, but it was enough to wrap around a cub’s hand. The warmth was transmitted to his palm through the fur.

Xiaoye’s eyes lit up.

Deng Xi: “My name is Deng Xi. What’s your name?”

Xiaoye was so nervous he stuttered, “My name is Xiao… Xiaoye! I’m a rac… raccoon.”

A little raccoon.

Deng Xi’s eyelids curved.

His heart was beating fast, and his mind was twisted with nervousness. The moment he saw the beautiful big brother smile, Xiaoye’s mental sea, which had been on the verge of breaking, instantly tensed up, and brown fur, with alternating dark and light colors, appeared on his face.

In just a moment, the human’s face was covered in the brown fur of a raccoon, with alternating dark and light colors, which was strangely scary.

But the cubs present, before Deng Xi could react, shouted, “Doctor sister.”

The doctor who had been left behind immediately took a syringe with a tranquilizer and quickly walked over.

The cubs orderly made way in the middle, leaving Xiaoye in place.

The doctor instructed, “Help me push this big brother to the back.”

Deng Xi shook his head worriedly.

The doctor spoke quickly and hurriedly, “Xiaoye was about to go berserk. The fur on his body has been growing more and more these past two days. He’ll mutate when he’s nervous. He’ll lose his reason soon. You’d better stay away so you don’t get hurt.”

In just a few sentences, Xiaoye had completely turned into a little raccoon. He was buried in his clothes, constantly waving his claws. But because he was still a cub, it would take some time to tear through his clothes.

After the doctor finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Deng Xi. She skillfully held down his clothes, without lifting them, and aimed at the moving flesh under the clothes, preparing to inject the tranquilizer.

“Wait!”

The syringe paused.

Because she was in a hurry, the doctor’s tone was a little bad. “Sir, please don’t cause trouble. Please leave immediately!”

Deng Xi was also very anxious. He waved his hands frantically and argued, “I’m not causing trouble. I can help.”

The doctor was extremely annoyed. “Where’s Bunny? Push your friend down.”

Because they had to avoid the little raccoon, the cubs had all run to a corner. After hearing this, Bunny quickly ran over. “No! Big brother is not lying. He really has a way!”

Deng Xi also continued, “Can you give Xiaoye to me?” His clear blue eyes could be seen through at a glance.

The doctor was half-believing, half-doubting. She looked at Deng Xi as if she were looking at a mischievous naughty child. But because the Marshal seemed to know this youth, she didn’t dare to scold him too harshly.

These young masters who were protected by high officials were really a big trouble.

The doctor’s voice turned cold. “You asked for this yourself. If you get hurt, it has nothing to do with me.”

Deng Xi nodded his head.

The doctor said suspiciously, “There is a camera with a recording function here. You agreed to this yourself.”

Deng Xi nodded again. After the doctor had put away the syringe, he anxiously extended his hands, bent down, and went to hug the little raccoon who was struggling in his clothes on the ground.

Even if it was a cub, the strength of a frenzied little raccoon was not to be underestimated. Deng Xi couldn’t control it at all. Several times, he almost let the little raccoon break free and fall to the ground.

While he was at a loss, it was the doctor who had just retreated who came up again and helped Deng Xi hold him down.

Deng Xi said in pleasant surprise, “Thank you.”

The doctor had already confirmed that Deng Xi was just causing trouble. Her tone was stern. “What are you trying to do? If you delay the treatment time, can you be responsible for him?”

Deng Xi was like a child who had done something wrong, but he still pleaded, “Can you wait a little longer? It’ll be over soon. Trust me.”

He tentatively stroked the struggling little raccoon, softened his voice, and spoke in an ancient and mysterious language.

The ethereal merman’s language echoed throughout the room.

The doctor’s expression was momentarily stunned. She was a human and could not feel the power in the merman’s language, but her anxious, denying, and distrustful mood was instantly pacified.

No one could understand what Deng Xi was saying.

Only Deng Xi himself knew. It was his first time trying, and he was a little flustered, but he still braced himself and whispered in a low voice, “Relax, close your eyes. Can you feel the breath of the ocean?”

The sea breeze blew, and the waves churned.

“It is damp and cool.”

The ocean seemed to be able to accommodate all things. It was the womb that nurtured the world, the place where all living things first came into the world.

“Please trust her, follow her, don’t be afraid of the darkness, don’t be afraid of the seawater, and slowly fall down.”

The restless mental sea seemed to be soaked in the cold deep sea. After sinking to the bottom, it was gently surrounded, and the scorching temperature was constantly cooled by the seawater.

The struggling little raccoon slowly calmed down.

Deng Xi carefully lifted the clothes that were covering it, picked up the little raccoon, and placed it on his lap. He stroked the raccoon’s brown, smooth fur with his fingertips, again and again.

The doctor, as if bewitched, couldn’t help but pick up her comm and record all of this.

Deng Xi repeated it again in the merman’s language, and finally let out a low, soft hum. The merman’s ethereal song was like a cradle that had transformed into the ocean, enveloping countless mental threads, pulling them to the bottom, to sleep.

The ancient and mysterious merman’s language sounded softly again.

“Good night.”

The little raccoon was completely calm.

Deng Xi instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, his eyes lit up again. He had succeeded!

After he had come back to his senses, he realized that all the cubs had subconsciously gathered around. It wasn’t until the voice stopped that the cubs looked at the beautiful brother in the wheelchair with admiration.

After the doctor had saved the recording, she walked over and said softly, “Alright, I apologize for my distrust. You are an amazing child.” She picked up the little raccoon on Deng Xi’s lap. “I hope he can return to normal after he wakes up.”

Deng Xi lowered his eyelids a little shyly and secretly told himself in his heart, he had been praised, so amazing.

The doctor: “I have to take it to rest.”

Deng Xi nodded.

After the doctor had left with the little raccoon, the cubs who had been close to Deng Xi returned to their original state, looking at Deng Xi timidly.

Big brother is so beautiful, so amazing.

In the cubs’ hearts, Deng Xi had risen to an unprecedented height. They liked him very much, but they were also afraid that if they got too close, they would be pricked by the light.

“Buzz, buzz—”

The comm vibrated. Deng Xi subconsciously opened it to check.

The message he had sent earlier had received a reply at some unknown time.

Little Mute: “Alright, be safe.”

Just now—

Little Mute: “I’ll wait for you outside.”

Deng Xi could already understand these words. He looked at the empty door outside and suddenly noticed a small black corner of clothing exposed by the door. After opening the tracker, he saw the two small red dots that were pressed tightly together and blinked in pleasant surprise.

After sitting until now, his lost stamina had completely recovered.

Deng Xi stood up and couldn’t help but run a little. His golden hair was blown behind him by the wind.

After a strenuous running sound, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. His silver hair was tied behind him, revealing the translucent golden earring on his ear. His silver eyes were slightly furrowed, and his gaze first landed on Deng Xi’s weak legs.

The cold and solemn aura of the black military uniform looked like it could scare a room full of cubs to tears.

Deng Xi subconsciously wanted to pounce out. Thinking that there were other humans watching here, and it wasn’t just him and the little mute, he held onto the door frame and stopped.

He curved his eyelids proudly. “I just soothed a little raccoon, and I was even praised by a human sister. So amazing!”

“My legs also have a little strength now. Look!”

After Deng Xi finished speaking, he jumped up and spun around. In the brief moment that his vision flashed by, he saw the cubs behind him suddenly shrink together, looking at them in fear.

Their eyes were not just filled with fear.

Little Teddy hesitated for a moment, then ran up and crashed into Si Jisheng with his own body. “Big brother, run! This person is a big bad guy!”

He was protecting Deng Xi.

The top of Little Teddy’s head hit a cold palm and was bruised by the mechanical glove. Si Jisheng sighed slightly and pushed the little boy away with a not-so-strong force.

Dr. Li, who had rushed over, saw the remaining cubs shouting “protect big brother” one by one, and throwing their toys, biscuits, and candy at the motionless Marshal.

Dr. Li sighed in her heart.

The Marshal shouldn’t have come.

Si Jisheng raised his hand to block a candy that had gone off track and was about to hit Deng Xi. While Deng Xi was in a daze, afraid that he would be accidentally injured, he wrapped him in his military uniform, silently picked him up, and, ignoring the cubs behind him, turned and left.

His voice was deep. “What do you want to eat tonight?”
