Thus, the responsibility of caring for the child fell onto Lin's shoulders.
"Who knows~? Griseo likes you so much, so what's wrong with holding her a little longer~?" Mobius's voice gradually drew out at the end, and that deliberately cute way of speaking gave Lin a strong sense of déjà vu.
Griseo was the child's name.
Children born within Fire Moth were exceedingly rare, because this was not a place suited for new life to be born.
Thus, people's curiosity toward children had surpassed the children's curiosity toward them.
Danzhu and Cangxuan came over. They were the two youngest members of the laboratory, and seeing a child even younger than themselves made them unexpectedly happy.
"Is this child named Griseo?" Danzhu cautiously extended a finger, dangling it over Griseo's little head to tease her. "She's so cute."
"Danzhu, be careful. Don't poke her." Though Cangxuan said that, she herself dishonestly reached out to pinch Griseo's cheek.
Griseo let out babyish sounds in protest at the two teasing her, but she still could not fend off the sisters' overflowing maternal instincts.
"Haha, look, Griseo's hugging Lin's helmet."
Even Klein, who had been working overtime handling repair requests for laboratory equipment, was drawn over. She walked up behind them, craned her head to peer inside, and happened to see Griseo babbling as she curled into Lin's arms.
Klein's weary eyelids immediately lifted, and a spark appeared in her eyes.
Children were a good medicine for healing people. In a sense, that saying was the truth.
"Griseo, can you talk yet?" Klein asked.
Lin lowered his head to look at Griseo. Griseo also stared back at him with her big eyes, making meaningless little noises.
It usually took infants around one to one and a half years to associate words with people. By
