After thinking about it, Jiang Lan felt that it was unlikely to send Ying Qiao out of the house on the weekend, as it would be too easy to be discovered. In the end, he could only use the excuse of meeting Xiao Xiaoyu to understand the procedures and materials for Jiang Chi’s return to school, and then take Jiang Chi out alone. Suan Ni and Jiao Tu were responsible for acting as spies at home, reporting Ying Qiao’s every move to Jiang Lan at any time. It would be best if Ying Qiao stayed at home all day and had no time to go out, so that the possibility of running into him would be almost zero.
Suan Ni and Jiao Tu took on the task with a serious look on their faces, and then tacitly went to find Ying Qiao with the tablet in their arms.
With such a good opportunity, they decided to pester their sister-in-law to play Landlord with them for a day!
It was like killing two birds with one stone. They were just too clever.
It was a rare weekend, Ying Qiao looked at the little monster taking the cub out, and curled his lips unhappily, but Jiang Lan said that he was just going to understand the situation today, and there was no need to bring the whole family. And someone had to stay at home to watch Suan Ni and Jiao Tu, so that they wouldn’t play too crazily again, so Ying Qiao had to stay at home to take care of the cubs reluctantly.
The extremely excited Suan Ni had already climbed onto Ying Qiao’s legs holding the tablet. He stared at Ying Qiao with his golden cat eyes and put the tablet into Ying Qiao’s hands without any hesitation.
Jiao Tu sat obediently beside him, looking well-behaved. Although he didn’t say a word, his black eyes looking over were full of anticipation.
Ying Qiao: …
What else could he do?
Take care of the cubs.
After leaving the house, Jiang Lan took Jiang Chi straight to the Monster Management Bureau. Jiang Chi was still an illegal resident, so he had to take Jiang Chi to register first, and then get an ID card. After the identity was cleared and once the ID card was obtained, he could go through the adoption procedures.
Although many rules and regulations of the Monster Management Bureau were based on the rules formulated by human institutions, there were still some differences between monsters and humans. Many procedures had been simplified a lot. For example, if he adopted Jiang Chi under the identity of Jiang Lan, he would only need to complete the identity registration and then fill out the registration form.
Because it was Sunday, there were many monsters who had come to do business during the weekend break. When the two arrived at the lobby on the first floor, there was already a long line at the only open service window.
Jiang Lan took Jiang Chi to the end of the line, and while waiting, he whispered to Jiang Chi some basic information about the demon clan and the Demon Management Bureau.
He was good-looking to begin with, and he was holding the delicate Jiang Chi’s hand, so the two of them attracted a lot of attention as soon as they came in. But Jiang Lan didn’t notice these and kept talking to Jiang Chi with his head down.
He spoke patiently and carefully, at a moderate pace, which caused the male monster in front of them to turn around and listen.
The one in front of them was a panda demon, with a round face and body, which didn’t make people feel that he was fat, but instead that he was round and pleasing. The panda demon should be young, and its transformation was not complete. The semicircular black furry ears on the top of its head popped out from time to time, shook a few times, and then retracted with a whoosh.
Jiang Chi, who was listening attentively, was immediately attracted by the ears on top of his head.
His dark eyes looked at him.
The panda demon became nervous when he was looked at, and the ears on his head couldn’t help but pop out. He raised his hand to touch his ears, and smiled at Jiang Lan a little embarrassedly: “My name is Xiong Kuang, is this your son? You are so good to him.”
Jiang Lan: …
Jiang Lan was silent for a moment as he got a son out of nowhere. He wanted to refute him but didn’t know where to start. After all, he was planning to adopt Jiang Chi anyway, so it didn’t seem right to call him a son, right?
It was Jiang Chi who said, “It’s my brother.”
After saying that, he pursed his lips and stared at the ears on Xiong Kuang’s head without blinking.
Although he had seen Ying Qiao and Jiao Tu’s transformation at home, he had different impressions from the people around him and the outsiders. When he followed Jiang Lan to the Monster Management Bureau and saw the stranger with ears on his head, and then looked at the other people around him who were not surprised, he finally understood what Jiang Lan had said to him: “You are not an alien, you are just different from ordinary people. There are many people of your kind in this world, you are not alone.”
It turned out that Jiang Lan was not really comforting him. It turned out that there were many people like him in this world, or… should he call them monsters.
“Then your brother is really good to you.” Xiong Kuang changed his words and said with envy: “I don’t have a brother either. My parents are very fierce. They will play mixed doubles if they don’t agree with me.”
He must have been so pent up that he couldn’t stop talking once he started, and he complained to the two of them, “I wanted to change my name but they wouldn’t let me, so I got so angry that I secretly took my ID card and ran away from home. If they wouldn’t let me change it, I would change it myself!”
“Isn’t your name nice?” Jiang Lan asked curiously.
“I chose this myself.” Xiong Kuang hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a grunt, “My name on my ID card is Xiong Sansan, because my parents got married on March 3rd, so they gave me this name to commemorate their wedding day!”
Xiong Kuang’s expression was very angry, and it was obvious that he had been dissatisfied with this name for a long time.
“Xiong Sansan?” Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows, feeling that the name sounded familiar.
Xiong Kuang nodded heartlessly: “You think it’s ugly too, right? It sounds like a girl’s name. And they like to call me Xiao San at home.”
“Do you think any biological parent would call their own child “Xiao San[1]“?” Xiong Kuang was so angry that his face puffed up, making him look more like a fat white meat bun. “I actually always suspect that I was picked up.”
Jiang Lan: …
He finally remembered where he had heard the name.
Wasn’t this the guy who didn’t even learn how to transform properly but tried to date someone he met online and ended up changing back to his original form by accident and was reported to the police by his online lover, who almost couldn’t rescue him… brother?
He also used this brother’s glorious deeds as a negative example to scare Suan Ni and Jiao Tu, telling them not to be addicted to surfing the Internet.
No wonder the zoo refused to release him, it turned out this guy was a monster panda.
Xiong Kuang was still blabbering on and on about his grievances. Jiang Lan had no intention of poking at him, so he could only give him an awkward but polite smile.
It was just that the zoo blunder was so funny that Jiang Lan could not help but laugh when he saw Xiong Kuang’s face.
He looked away inconspicuously and tried hard to suppress his smile.
The line was gradually shortening during the conversation. When it was Xiong Kuang’s turn, he didn’t even open his mouth, but the staff at the window coldly rejected him: “Xiong Sansan? Your parents told us that you stole your ID card and ran away from home, and they won’t let us do any business for you.”
Xiong Kuang was so angry that his bun-like face turned red, and he kept hesitating and refusing to give up.
Then the staff called his parents in person and informed them to come and pick him up.
Xiong Kuang let out a roar, and no longer dared to hesitate, before running out.
Although he looked chubby, he ran very fast. It seemed that he was determined to run away from home. Seeing this, he wondered how well he had learned to transform. Jiang Lan was already worried that he would perform a big transformation into a national treasure on the street and then be sent to the zoo for tourists to visit again.
Xiong Kuang’s figure quickly disappeared around the corner. Seeing this, the staff shook their heads and muttered, “The cubs nowadays are becoming more and more rebellious.”
