Chapter 101 (1/2)
Rarely had this Wek cub stayed in a certain embrace for such a long time, he had been held by Xie Luan for a period of time and had gradually become familiar with this feeling, and his body had become more relaxed as compared to the beginning.
Under Xie Luan’s adjustment, the cub was well nestled in his arms.
With his unseeing eyes open, the youth did not let go of the cub and put it on the ground, and the Wek cub also continued to nest in his arms contentedly.
Most of the cubs still liked to be held by adults. The behavior of picking up the cubs itself had a little meaning to the cubs, and the sensitive cubs could feel the intention of the person who was picking them.
If he wanted to bring the cub adopted by another branch back to his own branch, he must first obtain the consent of the former. When this idea came in, Xie Luan had already begun to think in his heart how to discuss this with the president of the Kalia branch.
Seeing that it was almost time to go to the dining room to have a meal, he felt that after the meal was a convenient opportunity to speak, thinking of this, Xie Luan basically made up his mind.
Unable to hold the cub in his arms, Xie Luan walked a few steps closer to a place where there were no obstacles, squatted down and gently placed the cub, who was quiet and barely moving in his arms, to the ground.
Although it was warmer and longer than other embraces, this embrace also had a time limit.
When being placed from the young man’s arms to the ground, the Wek cub first subconsciously lifted his left front paw and took a step closer to the young man, but quickly backed away.
Of course, Xie Luan noticed the cub’s movements. He did not take such small movements seriously. He reached out and touched the cub’s back and said in a softly coaxing tone: “I’ll take a while. Until I come back, Ain has to walk more carefully so as not to get hurt.”
Hearing his name and the words “come back”, Ain’s quietly hanging fluffy tail moved imperceptibly.
After a pause on the spot, the Wek cub lifted the front paw that had just been retracted, and really took a step closer to Xie Luan.
Sniff.
Not knowing the meaning of repeated smelling in the Wek tribe, Xie Luan looked down and saw the cub smelling his body lightly again and couldn’t help wondering if it was because of the lack of credibility in what he just said.
But Xie Luan still patiently opened his palm to the Wek cub[1]. The cub lowered his head slightly to sniff the palm of his hand. It looked like a little milk dog that had just been born. But Xie Luan didn’t let himself hold the cub back into his arms now.
After waiting for the cub to stop sniffing, Xie Luan stood up.
From the time the youth stood up, the Wek cub, who was put down by the youth, did not go anywhere else, facing the direction of the youth’s footsteps as he left, and his eyes were also open and looking towards that side.
He stayed where he was and started waiting.
Xie Luan came there for friendly exchange on behalf of the Yunbao branch. In this process, things like being invited to dinner together were naturally indispensable.
The president of the Kalia branch was a relatively neat and up-to-date person, and there were fewer polite parts in this exchange, and this was exactly what Xie Luan intended.
Although there was something about Ain in his heart, Xie Luan still fully exchanged the experience of branch construction with the president of the Kalia branch and several high-level personnel at this dinner table.
After the meal was over, Xie Luan found the right time to mention what he was thinking to the other party.
“Do you want that cub of the Wek clan to be transferred to your branch?” Unexpectedly, the youth suddenly made such a request. Barry, the president of the Kalia branch, did not conceal the surprise in his expression at all.
Xie Luan nodded affirmatively and said sincerely: “I’m sorry that this request is a bit abrupt, but I did make it to you only after serious consideration.”
According to his age and seniority, Barry was considered Xie Luan’s senior among his peers. Xie Luan was not exaggerating by using a respectful address for him.
A capable younger generation who was not arrogant at all. After this exchange, Barry actually had a good impression of the young man sitting next to him, so when he first heard this unexpected request, he didn’t think the other party had any bad intentions.
The president of a cub raising branch offered to transfer a cub from another branch. Barry had never heard of such a request before but looking at the sincere attitude of the young man next to him, he was still willing to think about it.
There were a lot of cubs living in the Kalia branch. Barry couldn’t remember every cub in the branch, but he had an impression of the blind Wek cub that the youth had mentioned.
This cub was adopted by their branch. The blind cub was of course harder to take care of. In response to this, Barry asked Xie Luan about his thoughts.
“It’s because it’s not easy to take care of it. There was a little mermaid who couldn’t talk before in my branch. This blind cub made me feel the same way, so I really hope to take care of it.” Xie Luan said this for the sake of easing the other party’s suspicion, but the sentence was not completely fake. Xie Luan really felt his heart soften when he saw those eyes that had lost their brilliance.
When the young man said this, he mentioned the mermaid cub in the Yunbao Branch. Barry knew that there was such a thing, so he was more persuaded in his heart.
