Cub Raising Association

Chapter 71: Stress response (part 2)

"Baby."

Walking up to him, Xie Luan squatted down and touched the cub's small head. After thinking it over, he also called the cub's name in a warm voice, "Laili."

It was the same as the name of the race, Xie Luan felt that the parents of the cub must have had high expectations for the baby in his arms when naming him.

It was as Morrison had said, the cub was indeed very sensible. When Xie Luan coaxed him with a warm voice like this, the laili cub moved his body and made a low sound.

Touching the cub's especially fluffy belly, Xie Luan held the laili cub and stood up.

"Does the baby like that adult from just now?" Although he didn't feel it was necessary to even ask, Xie Luan still said this after picking the baby up and holding him in his arms.

He almost immediately received an answer.

"Gu-Ji!" Flapping his wings, the laili cub issued a tender and crisp sound. At this moment, his glassy black eyes seemed to suddenly light up.

It seemed he really liked him.

The cub's reaction wouldn't lie, Xie Luan was certain of this.

Actually, the person who left should undoubtedly love the cub a lot as well. Moreover, the cub was clearly familiar and close with the other which showed that he must have taken care of the cub for a long time.

"He's good to Laili?" Touching the baby's fluffy back, Xie Luan asked this as he carried the cub back to the living room.

"Gu~" The call was soft. As he responded, the laili cub waved his small wings up and down, he looked happy.

After seeing the baby's reactions to the two questions, Xie Luan was more or less well aware of the situation.

"Then he must be a very good man."

Xie Luan nodded as he said this.

There was, after all, no harm in praising the person the cub liked while in front of the cub.

Putting the laili cub down on the living room's soft carpet, the cubs playing in the room at once approached without Xie Luan needing to wave them over.

"This is the new baby who will be staying at our branch, his name is Laili."

Introducing their new playmate, Xie Luan lightly pushed the laili cub a little towards the other cubs.

It takes time to adapt to a new environment. However, apart from being a little shy in the beginning, Xie Luan felt that the new baby had already gradually adapted to life at Yunbao branch over the past few days.

In response to the summer's scorching hot weather, the cub house at yunbao branch had long had its temperature regulating device turned on. The cubs were able to stay in a comfortable temperature all day, no different from springtime.

It had been sunny for several days. This afternoon, Xie Luan looked up and saw a dark cloud forming in the sky.

It was going to rain.

Originally, it wasn't something worth paying attention to, but Xie Luan remembered the words Morrison had told him. Handing over the task of preparing the cubs' food to the others, he went to the living room and walked over to the laili cub who was comparing wings together with several feathery fluffballs.

"Gu-Ji."

Waddling two steps closer to Xie Luan, the laili cub bumped into Xie Luan's leg with his flippers open in a hug.
