Anna was startled and saw the clock hanging on the wall of the restaurant, and said to the little cub: "Sorry, I have something else to do, so we won't eat together."
The little cub's chubby little face showed a look of disappointment. Anna bent down and patted her hat, whispering: "Hurry up and make peace with your friends."
A look of surprise appeared on Shi Xi's face. Anna smiled, ran out of the restaurant with the crab she gave her, and waved to Shi Xi before leaving.
After Anna left, the three people at the table became quiet.
The enthusiastic boss came over and asked, "Guest, would you like to order any other dishes besides crab?"
Andre asked: "What else?"
The boss recommended a few special dishes of his own store. Andrei thought they were good, so he looked at the two little guys and asked, "Do you want to eat them?"
"Yeah," Shi Xi nodded with a puffy face.
Andre looked at Snack, who replied coolly with a straight face: "Anything is fine."
Andre felt his head hurt even more.
He thought he should go to Xingwang and post a message to ask for help.
“Let’s have one of each of the recommended dishes.”
"Okay, guests, wait a moment, the food will be served soon."
After the boss left, the dining table fell into dead silence again. Shi Xi took off his hat, and his furry ears hung limply on his head.
Andre said dryly: "Would you like a drink?"
Snack said: "If you drink now, you won't be able to sleep at night."
Shi Xi: "I want to drink."
Andre:…
He has never taken care of a baby, what should he do in this situation?
The food was served quickly.
Steamed crab, grilled lobster in butter, pan-fried fish in butter, boiled snail meat...
Upon hearing the name of the dish announced by the boss, Shi Xi and Xiao Xiao's eyes flickered between the two dishes of butter-fried fish and boiled snail meat.
Andre noticed the gazes of the two little guys and said quickly: "Come on, try it quickly. This fried fish and snail meat are recommended by the boss. They must taste very good."
"I don't want to eat snail meat," Shi Xi shook his head and refused.
Snack: "I don't want to eat fish either."
Shi Xi's eyes fell on the big crabs and lobsters: "I want to eat crabs and lobsters."
"Okay, okay, I'll peel the shell for you," Andrei neatly peeled off half of the lobster's shell for Shi Xi, put the lobster meat into her bowl, then looked at the snack and asked, "Do you want a snack?"
"Thank you, I don't want it," Snack refused.
Andre asked again: "Do you want to eat crabs?"
Snack: "No."
The big crabs and lobsters were both caught by Shi Xi. Now he is angry and does not want to eat the crabs and lobsters she caught.
When Shi Xi heard this, he said angrily: "If you don't want to eat, then I won't eat. I will eat."
After the meal, the little cub was full. Her belly swelled into a round ball and she burped several times.
Back at the temporary residence, Andre felt extremely tired.
Let the two children take a bath.
The little cub came out in vain after washing, only to find that Snack hugged his own pillow and ran to the next room to sleep.
She flattened her mouth, and her ears lay flat.
That night, Shi Xi didn't sleep well. She was too exhausted and tossed and turned. Finally, Wuwu went to call Andre to buy her digestive tablets. After eating them, she finally fell asleep.

Anna and her friend rushed back to the orphanage. The orphanage was very quiet. Anna made a shushing gesture to her friend, and the two walked quietly to the chapel.
The atmosphere in the chapel is very solemn. The dean in a black nun uniform is standing in front of the statue of the God of Light and reciting the doctrine: "...God said that people are born with sin, and they live for sin, in order to obtain the forgiveness of the God of Light..."
Anna opened the door, bent down and walked in quietly, intending to find a place to sit down.
"Wow!"
The net bag in her hand was cut by a crab with its large pliers, and the crab fell from the net bag to the ground, making a sound.
In the quiet and solemn chapel, the sound was particularly loud, and everyone in the chapel looked over.
Anna froze in place, showing a stiff smile.
When the dean saw her, he was a little angry and said, "Anna, you are late again. Didn't I tell you not to be late for today's prayer meeting?"
Anna smiled and replied: "Mom, dean, am I here?"
"You..." The dean wanted to say something else.
"Dean Lola, it's normal for children to be playful. Don't blame her too much," a voice said.
Only then did Anna realize that there was a man in a silver-gray suit sitting in the first row of seats. His hair was slightly gray, he looked elegant, and he seemed to be a very easy-to-get-together person.
"Since Mr. Buddy has spoken kind words for you, I won't punish you this time," Dean Lola said, "Sit down quickly."
"Yes," Anna stuck out her tongue, picked up a few big crabs on the ground and sat in the back row.
The prayer meeting was a bit boring. Anna lowered her head, appearing to be focused, but in fact she was staring at a few crabs fighting on the ground.
An hour later, the prayer meeting finally ended.
Dean Lola and the teachers accompanied the strange gentleman out.
"Sister Anna, where have you been?"
"Where did the big crab come from?"
"Sister Anna, did you catch it? It's such a big one."
"Did you bring something back for us to eat?"
A group of children swarmed up and talked around Anna.
Anna smiled happily: "Yes, extra food."
"Okay!" the children cheered.
"Come, let's go to the dining hall and solve it," Anna said with a smile.
"Okay!" The children responded in unison.
The children walked to the dining hall. When passing by the corridor, Dean Lola stopped Anna: "Anna, come here."
Anna could only hand the big crab into the hands of other children. She walked over and noticed that the man just now was also there. She was a little confused: "Mom, Dean?"
"This is Mr. Buddy, one of the long-term sponsors of our Sun Orphanage," Lola introduced the man beside her.
"Hello, Anna, my name is Buddy," Buddy smiled kindly, "I have something to discuss with you."

Shi Xi didn't sleep well. She got up at dawn.
She was not in good spirits, so she walked to the window, opened it to get some air, and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure on the street.
Anna was walking with her head down, feeling a little depressed. She kicked away the small stones on the road.
"Sister Anna," a milky voice sounded.
Anna thought the voice was a bit familiar. She looked around and saw a little cub wearing a pink and white nightdress not far away running towards her.
"Sister Anna," the little cub ran up to Anna, with one golden and one blue eye shining brightly, he looked up at her and asked, "Why are you here?"
Anna looked at the pair of furry ears on the little cub's head in astonishment. She was shocked: "Are you an orc?"
Yesterday the little cub was wearing a dress and a sunhat, and Anna didn't notice her ears or tail.
"Yes," Shi Xi nodded, noticing something was wrong with Anna's expression, "Sister, do you hate orcs?"
"No, I don't hate it," Anna stared at her ears with a deep expression, "Can I touch your ears?"
