The days when I wanted to be a human being

Looking at the sleeping child, Roger seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and found that Jabba was the only one left among the crew members who had surrounded him just now.

The others had already retreated several meters.

"You..." Roger didn't know what to say for a moment. When he turned around to communicate with Jabba, he found that Jabba had already retreated several meters quietly.

"Jabba, even you..." Roger lowered his voice and spoke to Jabba not far away.

When Jabba heard Roger calling him, his body froze. He wiped the sweat from his forehead due to nervousness, smiled awkwardly, and whispered: "Roger, this matter...you handle it yourself, I...I won't accompany you anymore."

The atmosphere on the deck was a little subtle for a moment.

"Or...you can see Rayleigh, is there any solution?" Jabba whispered.

He tried to divert Roger's attention from him to Rayleigh who was watching the show. In order to prevent Rayleigh from noticing that he was the one who brought the "trouble" over, he could only stick out his lips at Rayleigh.

Roger also followed Jabba's movements and looked at Rayleigh and Zhou Ling at the edge of the deck.

He found that Lei Li was standing next to Zhou Ling at this time, and he didn't know what he was talking to him.

……

"I see that you don't seem curious at all about what Roger brought back?" Rayleigh looked at the group of people tiptoeing and slowly retreating, as if there was something terrifying in the box.

"...Mr. Rayleigh, Mr. Roger is looking for you." Zhou Ling saw Roger turning his head towards them, so he reminded Rayleigh.

"…It seems that this is indeed not something that can be easily handled. Even Jabba has backed off."

Rayleigh smiled calmly, "Let's not talk about it for now. I'll go take a look."

He didn't know how 'tricky' what he was about to encounter would be.

Zhou Ling looked at Rayleigh with a smile on his face, and she began to mourn for Rayleigh in her heart. The crew members spoke in low voices for fear of waking up the sleeping children.

Rayleigh had been talking to her and probably didn't hear it, so he probably didn't know what was in the box.

Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have come closer. Not noticing that everyone else was moving away from Roger, he walked towards Roger with a smile on his face.

But no matter how quiet the group of people's voices were, she still heard them.

Now, she was sure that Rayleigh had definitely not heard the other people's conversation.

Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Ling's mind, but her movements were the same as those of the other crew members, slowly retreating.

Because she was barefoot and wrapped in a layer of life energy, she made no sound when she stepped on the deck, so Zhou Ling also quickened her pace.

No one else noticed Zhou Ling's action, but Roger, who had been looking at Rayleigh, noticed it.

He whispered to Zhou Ling:

"Great! Come and take a look, maybe you can solve the problem I'm facing now."

The voice that Roger deliberately suppressed still reached Zhou Ling's ears, but Zhou Ling did not intend to pay attention to him.

She pretended not to hear and turned to the captain's room.

Seeing that Zhou Lingyi didn't seem to hear what he said, Roger simply threatened in a low voice: "Miao, if you don't come, return the captain's room to me. I know you can hear me."

In fact, Roger’s voice was not only heard by Zhou Ling, but also by other crew members.

So they started discussing it.

"Yes, yes, why didn't I think of this? We are not good at this. Isn't there someone on the ship who is just right?"

"As expected, it has to be Captain Roger."

"Captain Roger actually thought of this. He is worthy of being a captain. Woohoo~."

"why are you crying?"

"I remembered my father and mother who were killed by pirates... wuwu~"

After hearing Roger's words, Zhou Ling paused. She pondered for a moment and finally chose to walk towards Roger.

However, to others, her steps seemed a bit forced.

Zhou Ling moved her long legs, but she began to think about the follow-up measures in her heart.

To be honest, it doesn't matter if there is no captain's room to sleep in. They will reach the next island in another day anyway. She can just endure it and leave when the time comes. What can they do to her?

But then, she felt that it was unnecessary. After all, Roger had snatched the child back, so he wouldn't just leave him to her. Wouldn't that mean she was really here to be a babysitter? !

As long as she refuses to accept it, that's enough. She is afraid of nothing.

Zhou Ling thought this in her heart, and then she slowly moved her feet and began to walk with big strides.

Seeing Zhou Ling's sudden change of attitude, the other crew members were shocked. What was this woman thinking? Why did she change her attitude so suddenly?

He was walking half dead before, but now he can't wait to get to the captain.

The crew members were very confused, but obviously no one came to give them answers at this time.

Seeing that Zhou Ling really came over after hearing his "threat", Roger looked at Rayleigh who was walking over and laughed.

Jabba, who was standing aside, looked at the two people flirting with each other, then looked at Zhou Ling who was forced to do so, and more sweat broke out on his forehead.

……

"So, Mr. Roger, you called me here just to see this..." Zhou Ling paused, glanced at the red-haired child sleeping peacefully in the box, then looked at Roger and said seriously, "See this child sleeping?"

"Shh~" Roger noticed that Zhou Ling was still speaking at a normal volume, and quickly signaled Zhou Ling to speak more quietly. Then he looked down at the child who was still sleeping, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he whispered, "Miss Miao, what do you think we should do?"

"What should we do? The child was brought back by Mr. Roger, right?"

Zhou Ling asked Roger in a low voice. It was not that she did not understand what Roger meant. He just wanted her to help take care of the child. The problem was that she had no experience.

Her two lives combined are only in her twenties, how could she take care of a child... No, it can't be called a child at all, it should be called a baby.

Zhou Ling looked at the sleeping baby in the box again. She probably hasn't been weaned yet.

"That's true, but... Miao, you should know what I'm going to say." Roger scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Zhou Ling pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "I can help take care of the child..."

"That's great..." Roger was about to be happy when he was interrupted by Zhou Ling.

"I have conditions, Mr. Roger, don't be too happy too soon."

"Okay, no problem, you tell me, as long as I can satisfy you..."

Before Roger could finish his words, the sleeping baby woke up.

I saw him open his eyes, and his dark eyes squinted for a moment, probably because of the glare of the sunlight, and then his face twisted and his mouth opened wide.

"Wow~!"

The baby burst into tears.

Looking at the crying child, everyone suddenly didn't know what to do and was a little at a loss.

"...Great, it's up to you." Roger looked at Zhou Ling expectantly.

Zhou Ling looked around and saw that everyone was looking at her with the same expression as Roger. She could only sigh helplessly in her heart.

So he treats her as a savior, but wasn't the original problem because Roger brought the child back?

Zhou Ling is not a person who likes to complain, but she is also upset by the current situation.

As her thoughts raced, she didn't say much, but gently picked up the baby boy.

But before that, she used her life energy to condense a pacifier and put it in his mouth.

It seemed that the life energy took effect, and the baby boy just focused on sucking the pacifier and stopped crying.
