The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?

Dean Lu answered truthfully: "She should be on her way back from Lan Xing. What... did you want to see her for?"

Fei Qixia: "She has the genes of an alien beast, I want to take her back to the laboratory..."

"No!" Dean Lu suddenly shouted, Fei Qixia looked emotionless: "Why?"

"Because... because..." Dean Lu gritted his teeth and decided to give the answer: "Because she is Rockoff's daughter!"

Fei Qixia's eyes twitched, and he asked in disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again?"

Dean Lu covered his face, revealing a deep sense of powerlessness: "She is Rockoff's daughter... I decided to become the director of the orphanage for her..."

Fei Qixia: "Whose child is she with?"

Fei Qixia glanced at Dean Lu from bottom to top: "With yours?"

Dean Lu shook his head, his eyes full of desolation: "No."

She liked Rockefeller, and everyone knew it.

It's just that Rockoff has someone he loves and never gave her a positive response.

She was willing to stay by his side and wait until the moment he changed his mind.

If that day doesn't come, she would rather live alone.

But she didn't wait for Rockoff to change his mind, but instead waited for Rockoff to hold a baby girl.

The girl was born not long ago and was very thin, not even in human form, but her eyes were bright and she seemed to have a strong life.

Rockoff was already terminally ill at the time. He said that the child was his and his lover's, but his lover had passed away.

Dean Lu knew who his lover was. His lover was a colleague of his in the Beast Taming Army. She was seriously injured in the tiger-suppression operation and died.

She naively thought at the time that she finally had a chance.

But unexpectedly, what he got was a doll left behind by him and his lover.

She still remembered what Rockoff said when he came to her.

He said: Now I can only trust you. I will hand her over to you, and her name will be... Qin Jiu!

Before she could find out the origin of the name, Rockoff had passed away.

He died in great pain, and Dean Lu knew that this death was the result of a failure in genetic optimization.

She buried him, then discovered a false identity he had created for her.

She should have been angry and left Qin Jiu alone.

But in the end, she still carried Qin Jiu into the orphanage and took the position of the new director.

She wanted to see Qin Jiu become the second Rockefeller, and see the day when she became the pride of everyone...

However, Qin Jiu did not enter the animal taming major as she wished, but instead studied an unremarkable pet care major.

Dean Lu and Fei Qixia explained what had happened over the years. She said, "So she has the genes of the alien beast, and it is very likely inherited from Rockoff."

That makes sense.

Fei Qixia asked: "Has she been sick many times in these years?"

Dean Lu shook his head: "She looks weak, but she has never been sick and is in good health."

Fei Qixia nodded slightly: "It seems that the genes of the alien beast do have a very good effect."

Dean Lu heard this and thought he was still trying to take Qin Jiu to the laboratory, so he immediately said anxiously: "Brother! You can't take her to the experiment. She is the only thing Rockoff has left in the world!"

Fei Qixia looked at his infatuated sister and sighed, "I won't. From the moment you revealed her identity, I was destined not to treat her as a test subject. But this provides me with a new research direction. I never thought that stable genes could be achieved through offspring."

Fei Qixia touched his sister's head and smiled helplessly: "What I didn't expect was that I would suddenly have a niece."

Dean Lu was a little worried. After all, Qin Jiu's life trajectory was completely different from theirs, and this change was not something she could accept all at once.

"Will she... accept this identity..."

"Who knows..."

When Qin Jiu returned to the orphanage, everything was normal. The children were playing with sand and running around. There was nothing unusual.

Qin Jiu saw Beibei sitting by the sand pool and walked straight towards her.

"Beibei."

When Beibei saw Qin Jiu coming back, she jumped up happily and hugged Qin Jiu's calf, calling sweetly, "Sister Xiaojiu!"

Only Sister Xiaojiu doesn’t think Beibei is an oddball. She likes Sister Xiaojiu the most!

Qin Jiu squatted down and took out two chains at the same time, put one on Beibei's hand and the other on the teddy bear's neck.

Beibei was delighted when she saw the bracelet made of crystal beads, and asked, "Sister Xiaojiu, is this for me?"

"Yes!" Qin Jiu touched her head and replied with a smile: "One for Beibei and one for the little teddy bear. Do you like them?"

"I like it!" Beibei jumped for joy.

Qin Jiu: "Beibei, can you sleep with me tonight?"

Beibei tilted her head and asked, "Is Sister Xiaojiu afraid of the dark?"

Qin Jiu nodded: "Yes, Sister Xiaojiu is afraid of the dark."

Beibei did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought. After a long while, she hesitated and said, "But the dean may not allow..."

Qin Jiu: "I will tell the dean, don't worry."

Beibei nodded and turned around to continue playing with the sand.

When they met face to face, Dean Lu did not ask Qin Jiu why she went to Yu Lanxing. When she heard Qin Jiu's request to sleep with Beibei, she just gave her a meaningful look and agreed.

At night, when everything was quiet, the beads on the teddy bear emitted a huge bright light, attracting Qin Jiu's attention.

Qin Jiu hadn't slept yet, she was waiting for the teddy bear to change.

Because of the seal of the beads, the teddy bear just shook in place and did not turn into anything strange.

Beibei beside Qin Jiu was awakened by the noise. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, and said dazedly: "Sister Xiaojiu, what's wrong?"

Qin Jiu blocked her view for fear of scaring her, and at the same time woke up Guangming and asked him to take the teddy bear away.

Only after Guangming left the windowsill did Qin Jiu say to Beibei, "It's okay, it's just that my sister forgot to turn off the alarm. Did it wake you up?"

Beibei shook her head: "This time in the evening is usually when the dean teaches us. Beibei is used to it."

Qin Jiu lowered his eyes and remained silent.

She had been to the Dean's office several times during the day, but time constraints had prevented her from searching.

At night, she could clearly feel that there were many pairs of eyes watching her in the dark. As long as she stepped out of the door, she would run into other children after every few steps.

Beibei said, it's time for class now.

So... Qin Jiu is more likely to encounter controlled children at night, is it also because they go to "class"?

Qin Jiu asked: "Beibei, where do you go to class at night?"

Beibei: "In the dean's office."

Qin Jiu: "Did you all go together?"

Beibei shook her head: "Each of us goes at a different time, and only one child can walk in the corridor. Otherwise..."

Beibei made a devil horn gesture: "You will be eaten by the devil!"

Qin Jiu didn't know what this "devil" was for the time being, so she asked: "When did Beibei go to class?"

Beibei looked at the glowing clock and said, "We have to set off now."

Qin Jiu: "Beibei, take me with you."
