Chapter 270 Yes, I want to go back.
Watching the little guy swim happily, Lin Xiao remained silent for a while before finally nodding in a hoarse voice.

Okay! I'll try my best.

The little guy's eyes lit up, and in an instant, even his swimming posture became much more cheerful.

"Great! I can finally see my mom!"

The splashes of water from the little one's leaps and bounds gently landed on the water's surface, and even just standing on the shore, they could feel the joy emanating from him.

However... Lin Xiao, who knew the specifics of the dolphin pod, couldn't laugh at all.

Just then, the door opened, and Wen Man appeared out of nowhere.

She opened the door and glanced inside.

Seeing the two people standing on the shore, he raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at his own student standing next to him with a half-smile.

"So that's why I didn't see you in the lab. You've been taking a break from your busy schedule to come here and be a tour guide?"

Feng Que chuckled twice and unceremoniously hid behind Lin Xiao and Lu Chengshen.

"Teacher, didn't Sister Lin Xiao and Director Lu contact me first, asking for my help?"

"and……"

As he spoke, he pushed Lin Xiao, who was standing in front of him, forward and continued speaking without any politeness.

"Sister Lin Xiao wants to talk to you."

Lin Xiao, caught off guard and suddenly thrust forward, found himself face-to-face with Wen Man: ...

Wen Man was already used to her students' behavior, and could only roll her eyes, but still very cooperatively focused her gaze on Lin Xiao.

"what's up?"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment before quickly realizing what she was about to say.

What are you going to do with this dolphin?

Hearing about the dolphin, Wen Man felt somewhat helpless.

Although the little guy has no obvious physical defects, his slow reaction time is not a problem that can be solved quickly with current technology.

Of course, more importantly, the slow reaction time caused the little guy to fail to meet the requirements in a series of tests involving hunting and escaping.

They absolutely cannot be released back into nature.

Wen Man sighed deeply, her voice unusually low.

"We can only keep them at the research center for now. If possible, they will probably be moved to another aquarium or similar place later."

It's hard for anyone to feel good to see a small life forced to lose its freedom and be confined to this small space because of human mistakes.

Lin Xiao knew this was the best arrangement for the little one.

However, remembering how the little guy had begged so desperately, Lin Xiao's heart softened in the end.

"Perhaps we could put the little guy with his pack?"

Although the dolphins are all kept in captivity by the research center in a bay not far from its own dock.

However, the research center is still almost entirely responsible for all the relevant information about these dolphins.

If that's the case, then having one more little one doesn't seem to have any impact.

only……

Wen Man raised her eyes in surprise upon hearing Lin Xiao's remarks.

Put it back?
With those polluted dolphins?
Wen Man frowned and subconsciously retorted.

"But those dolphins are so polluted that they've lost their minds."

“We can’t even guarantee that the various physiological traces left by the dolphins afterward won’t carry pollution from the water source.”

"If we put this little guy with that group now, wouldn't that be..."

She frowned and began to analyze the pros and cons very seriously.

But halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered Lin Xiao's special ability, and the explanation he was about to give came to an abrupt halt.

She looked up in surprise, and after a while, she couldn't help but speak softly.

Did you hear something?

His worried gaze lingered between the little boy and Lin Xiao.

Seeing Lin Xiao nod, all the arguments you had prepared vanished without a trace.

This was the little guy's own choice...

"But... are you sure he won't regret making this choice?" Wen Man finally gave up her insistence, but still couldn't help but continue to persuade him.

Lin Xiao didn't speak, but turned to look at the little guy who was secretly peeking out of the water.

Seeing Lin Xiao looking over, the little guy happily jumped out of the water and fell back into the water.

Although Lin Xiao was reluctant, she still had to explain all the pros and cons to her.

"Do you really want to go back to your tribe?"

The little guy popped his head out of the water with some confusion in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xiao sighed before explaining how the dolphins had been affected by the sewage, leading to physical problems.

They even copied Wen Man's warning exactly as it was given.

"Even if staying with your people leads to you being contaminated just like them, do you still... want to go?"

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, the three people standing around him all looked up at the little guy guarding the beach.

The baby dolphin's body rose and fell with the ripples on the water, its fins slapping against the surface.

"But...she's my mom too!"

She answered softly.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she swam directly to the shore, with most of her body above the water, looked at Lin Xiao very seriously, and softly responded.

"Yes! I want to go back."

"No matter what the outcome... I want to be with my mother."

In short, it silenced all human persuasion.

Lin Xiao finally nodded.

"okay, I get it!"

Lin Xiao turned her head.

Wen Man looked over impatiently, her voice urging her on.

"How about it? How about it? Does it make sense?"

Lin Xiao chuckled weakly, repeating the little dolphin's words with utter dejection.

Wen Man's expectant gaze slowly faded, leaving only a helpless sigh.

Ugh!
"Why are they all so stubborn when they could have a better life?"

With a smile on his face, Feng Que shamelessly approached Wen Man.

He chuckled and said without any politeness, "Teacher, if you treat me well, I definitely won't be that stubborn."

Wen Man rolled her eyes at him. "If you have nothing else to do, could you go to the lab and keep an eye on the experiments you haven't finished?"

"He's always running around outside, whether he has something to do or not..."

After saying that, he composed himself and nodded to Lin Xiao.

"Since this is her wish, there's nothing more I can say."

"If you have time tomorrow, the two of you can come together and return the dolphins to the pod."

"it is good!"

Lin Xiao responded in a deep voice.

She glanced down, still standing on the shore, watching the little dolphins talking to each other, a hint of helplessness creeping into her smile.

She bent down and gently rubbed the little one's head before speaking softly, "I can take you to see your mother tomorrow, are you happy?"

The little guy's eyes lit up. "Really? Really? I can really go home?"

The splashing water made a loud gurgling sound. Lin Xiao looked at the little guy in front of her who was acting crazy, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.

Seeing relatives is indeed a great temptation.

Unfortunately, she...

Suddenly, my right hand, which was hanging by my side, felt a warmth.

His warm, broad hand enveloped her clenched fist and gently squeezed it in a comforting way.

Lin Xiao turned her head and saw that Lu Chengshen had walked up to her side at some point.

The man had beautiful features and was looking down at her intently.
