"Come on, children, this is Xiaoxi. We must get along well with her from now on," the dean said after showing Shi Xi around, and then introduced her to other children in the orphanage.
"Dean," an older child raised his hand.
"Jack, what's wrong?" the dean asked him.
"Why is she different from us? Her ears are so strange, and she has a tail," the boy named Jack asked curiously.
"Because Xiaoxi is an orc, and orcs are different from humans," the dean replied.
"Oh!" The children looked suddenly enlightened.
"Dean," a teacher came over.
"Everyone should get along well," the dean said and returned to the office with the teacher.
As soon as the dean left, a group of children surrounded Shi Xi, "Your name is Xiaoxi? You look so strange."
"The eye color is also different."
"I have seen orcs in books, and you are different from them."
"I've seen it on TV too."
"This is your tail, is it true?" a child said, reaching out to grab Shi Xi's tail.
Shi Xi felt a pain in his tail and his eyes widened slightly. Just when he was about to hit him, Jack next to him raised his hand and hit the child's hand.
The child let go of his hand in pain and asked angrily, "Jack, it hurts so much, why did you hit me?"
"Xiaoxi is in pain too, don't touch other people's tails," Jack taught him like a grown-up, "You have to apologize to Xiaoxi."
"I'm sorry," the child apologized weakly to Shi Xi.
"No, it's okay," Shi Xi replied, grabbing her tail.
"Come on, let's go play," Jack asked Shi Xi enthusiastically, "What do you want to play, the swing? Play football? Or read a book?"
Shi Xi was a little hesitant. Seeing that she didn't answer, Jack helped her decide: "Then let's go play football."
After saying this, Shi Xi reacted, holding her hand and saying to the children around her: "Let's go play football."
"Okay," the children around cheered.
Shi Xi was dragged away like this.
Jack kicked the ball in front of Shi Xi, who looked down at the football rolling in front of him, looking a little confused.
When Jack saw that she didn't move, he trotted over and said, "Xiaoxi, why don't you kick?"
Shi Xi looked at him and said, "I have never played football."
"What?" Jack was a little surprised, and then he patted his chest: "It's okay, I'll teach you how to kick."
Kicking the ball is very simple. Shi Xi followed Jack's example and kicked the ball towards the ball.
The kick missed, her body swayed, and she almost lost her balance.
Jack and the others laughed loudly, "Xiao Xi, you are so stupid."
Shi Xi's little face bulged, "I'm not stupid."
She said and kicked hard.
"Bang!"
The football formed a beautiful arc in mid-air, fell to the ground in the distance, and rolled far away.
The children were stunned for a moment, then yelled and ran after the ball.
Jack didn't run. He stood there and gave Shi Xi a thumbs up: "Xiao Xi is so awesome."
"Of course, our Xixi is the best," Wuwu, who had been quietly nestling in his pocket, came out and said with great pride.
"Wow, what is this? It's tattered," Jack was startled.
"This is Wuwu, my robot," Shi Xi held Wuwu in his hands and explained, "You don't have to be afraid, it's very well-behaved~"
"Robot?" Jack came closer and looked at Wuwudao with bright eyes, "This is my first time seeing a robot."
He looked at it carefully and said, "But this robot is too broken. Did you pick it up?"
"It won't break until five or five years ago," Shi Xi puffed up his face, "This is what my mother left for me."
Jack was stunned, "Sorry."
He scratched his head and said, "What your mother left for you is your treasure. I shouldn't say that."
Shi Xi was a little angry at first, but after hearing what he said, she felt embarrassed and said, "It's okay, I forgive you."
"Xixi, you are so kind," Jack was very happy. He pulled out the red rope from his neck, "My mother also left a treasure, you see."
Shi Xi looked over and saw a bright oval ruby tied on a red rope. The ruby was the size of a pigeon egg. It shone with little stars in the sunlight and was very beautiful.
Shi Xi was stunned, and Jack said, "Isn't it beautiful? The dean said this is some kind of starlight gem. It is very valuable. I have been wearing it since I was sent here. It is a treasure left by my mother to me and asked me to keep it well.
With."
"It looks good," Shi Xi nodded, looked at his hair and said, "It's the same color as your hair."
"Yes, so it is my treasure," Jack stroked his hair and smiled, "We are all people with treasures."
Under the leadership of Jack, the children in the orphanage were very friendly to Shi Xi.
A group of children had a lot of fun.
It was dinner time in the blink of an eye, and I had bread, milk, and fruit after dinner.
The fruit is cut watermelon, two pieces for each child.
Shi Xi came into contact with this kind of fruit for the first time, and subconsciously looked at Jack next to him, who was holding a watermelon and eating it.
Shi Xi followed his example and picked up the watermelon and took a bite. The sweet taste spread on the tip of her tongue. Shi Xi's eyes lit up slightly, it was delicious.
After Jack finished eating a piece of watermelon, he thought of Shi Xi next to him, turned his head and looked over, saw that it didn't matter, and screamed out.
The little silver-haired cub was sitting on the bench, holding a watermelon in both hands and eating it, with a black seed stuck to the corner of his mouth. He looked very well-behaved and cute.
Hearing Jack's movement, Shi Xi looked at him in confusion, and the latter took away half of the watermelon in her hand, "Why did you even eat the rind?"
"Huh?" Shi Xi tilted his head, "What a horse?"
"Just eat the red flesh, but don't eat the green rind." Jack met Shi Xi's innocent eyes and paused with an expression of disbelief, "Have you never eaten watermelon?"
"No," Shi Xi shook her head and replied in a milky voice.
Jack felt extremely sympathetic to Shi Xi. Is there anyone in this world who has never eaten watermelon? He put his last piece of watermelon in front of Shi Xi and said, "Then eat more."
"No need," Shi Xi said, putting the piece of watermelon back into Jack's hand and picking up his own piece, "I still have some here, let's eat together."
Jack was still a child and could not resist the temptation of watermelon in the end, so he and Shi Xi happily solved the final watermelon together.
It was night, after taking a bath, Shi Xi changed into the pajamas issued by the orphanage and lay down on the small bed.
The room here is very large, with more than a dozen small beds. The dean was worried that Shi Xi would not be used to sleeping and specially arranged a small bed for her on the side of the wall to prevent her from rolling out of bed.
The left side of Shi Xi's crib is against the wall, and the right side is Jack's bed. Their cribs are half a meter apart.
The dean saw that the two of them were having a good time, so he specially arranged it in order to allow Shi Xi to adapt to life here as soon as possible.
The two of them were tired after playing for most of the day, so they said good night to each other and fell asleep.
Seeing the little cub sleeping soundly, Wuwu, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief.
Early the next morning, Shi Xi woke up. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and sat up: "Sister..."
When she saw the environment of the room, she said nothing.
