After understanding the language of animals, I quit the entertainment circle and started working for

Chapter 361

After saying all this, Lin Xiao realized that since she came back, Lu Chengshen seemed to have been living alone in the zoo.

"Where is everyone else? Why are you the only one left here?"

Since we're going to be traveling with Lu Chengshen, things like booking train tickets are pointless.

Lin Xiao simply sat down in the corridor in front of the dormitory, dangling his legs, and asked about the other people's affairs.

Speaking of this, Lu Chengshen turned around and sat down next to him, leaning against a pillar in the corridor, and let out a long sigh.

Then he slowly spoke.

"You want to ask about Gu Ming, right?"

Lin Xiao's eyebrows twitched slightly.

She took a deep breath, raised her head, and spoke in a very heavy voice.

"Yes, I wonder how his physical condition is? I wonder if the anesthetic drugs those people prepared have any particularly serious side effects?"

"And he... shouldn't have been punished, right?"

Lin Xiao turned her head and stared intently at Lu Chengshen's expression, as if trying to discern from his face whether the answers to these questions were good or bad.

Seeing her like this, Lu Chengshen pursed his lips, raised his hand and gently placed it on the top of her head, speaking earnestly.

"There is definitely an impact, but more than that, it's because I'm worried about you getting into trouble."

"As for punishments, our terms are not that harsh."

He made a little joke, trying to make the conversation between the two of them as lighthearted as possible.

However, he quickly composed himself.

Speaking of Gu Ming, he also felt very sorry for him.

"Gu Ming felt that all the problems stemmed from his own lack of ability, so after receiving news that you had returned to the embassy, ​​he went back on his own."

"Later, I heard that he applied for special training, which seemed to be a form of self-punishment for not being able to protect everyone at the time."

Lin Xiao couldn't quite describe how she felt.

She lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers, feeling an overwhelming heaviness in her heart.

"Actually... I stepped forward on my own, it has nothing to do with him."

"This matter can't be blamed on him at all."

Lu Chengshen chuckled and said, "This will probably make him more comfortable."

Lin Xiao's lips twitched, and she only managed a very tired smile.

"probably."

The joy of returning to one's homeland was ultimately overshadowed by the mess left behind.

Lin Xiao's expression also became more serious.

Seeing her so heavy-hearted, Lu Chengshen remained silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "Do you still remember that little fisherman's girl?"

The topic suddenly shifted to this point, and Lin Xiao was subconsciously taken aback.

"Is it the little girl who helped me deliver the message?"

"How is she?"

Lin Xiao immediately pressed for an answer, looking very worried.

When she was arrested, she didn't take much with her; the only evidence she had was the clothes she was wearing.

She had originally left behind a coat, thinking that she might be able to throw it in a conspicuous place on the shore before boarding the boat, leaving them some clues.

As it turned out... who would have thought that those people who went with them back then were keeping a close eye on them?

Not a single message could get out.

If it weren't for that little girl, she wouldn't know what to do.

Although... the news that was sent out wasn't of much use, at least it put them at ease a little bit.

Seeing that Lin Xiao's mood had obviously improved, Lu Chengshen completely shifted the topic to the little girl.

"Because his father was involved in smuggling, he was directly detained and awaiting trial." "She was originally supposed to be sent to an orphanage, but I thought you would be more worried, so I brought her to live with me."

Lin Xiao stood up abruptly, her gaze towards Lu Chengshen filled with surprise.

"She's with you?! She's been staying with you all this time?!"

Lin Xiao looked the man in front of her up and down, her eyes filled with disbelief.

How could that be?

Lu Chengshen doesn't look like someone who knows how to take care of others!
Let him take care of a little girl?

Seeing the incredulous look on Lin Xiao's face, Lu Chengshen almost laughed in anger.

He couldn't help but raise his hand, pinch Lin Xiao's soft cheek, and tug it slightly, as if in revenge.

"What's with that look? What's wrong with me taking care of a little girl? Can't I take care of a little girl?"

Lin Xiao's lips pursed into a straight line. She looked up at the person in front of her, hesitant to speak.

Although he didn't say anything in the end, the hint of something on his face was obvious.

Lu Chengshen was speechless and amused, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only sigh softly.

"I'll make a note of this debt for you."

Lin Xiao blinked, her eyes clear and bright, completely unaware of why Lu Chengshen needed to keep a small notebook.

At this moment, she was more concerned about how the little girl was doing.

"Don't worry, the Lu family has excellent medical resources. I've already arranged for someone to help me contact a psychologist. With continued treatment, she should be able to recover and be no different from an ordinary person."

Lin Xiao stared blankly at the man in front of her, opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

She knew very well that Lu Chengshen was able to do these things only because that girl had helped her.

In the end, all she could say was thank you.

After Lu Chengshen finished speaking, there was no sound for a long time. When he looked up, he saw Lin Xiao standing there, staring at him intently.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she didn't say a word.

Lu Chengshen sighed, lowered his head, raised his hand, and gently squeezed Lin Xiao's hand.

I don't want your thanks.

“I did these things willingly, Lin Xiao, but I hope you can treat me as one of your own.”

After saying that, he raised his head, looked at Lin Xiao, gently shook her hand, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

It's clear he doesn't want to put too much pressure on her.

Seeing that she didn't move, Lu Chengshen just sighed softly, let go of her hand and stood up. He was about to say that it was getting late.

Before he could even utter a word, a figure flashed before his eyes, and he was suddenly embraced tightly.

Lu Chengshen's hand, which was raised halfway in the air, suddenly froze.

He paused for a moment, then gave a faint smile.

He raised his hand and rubbed his head, which was buried in his shoulder, his voice extremely gentle.

"Okay, I'll take you to see her when I have time, okay?"

Because it was the first time she had taken the initiative, Lin Xiao's ears turned bright red.

She took a step back, looking into the man's eyes with teary eyes.

"Lu Chengshen, thank you."

Lu Chengshen abruptly stopped wiping away her tears, raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile, his voice tinged with helplessness.

"What did I just say?"

Lin Xiao's eyes darted around, remembering what Lu Chengshen had just said. She smiled shyly, "This is the last time, I promise!"

Lu Chengshen smiled and tapped her reddened nose, then let out a long sigh and finally pulled her into his arms.

Tsk!
Lu Chengshen never imagined that one day he would have to rely on a child to pursue a girl!
