All My Colleagues Are Animals 41p2

Chapter 41 p2

..

After taking a shower, the little sea otter, under Pei the Little Able Cat’s guidance, dried her hair and put on clean and comfortable clothes.

She rubbed her cheeks, her eyes sparkling. “The big sister beasts are so amazing, to be living so well in human society.”

“We’re not all beasts.”

Pei Rong told the little sea otter that Ye Qingyu was a human and didn’t know that everyone was a beast.

The little sea otter was stunned.

“Can’t Sister Ye accept beasts?”

Pei Rong shook her head.

“She’s a very good human, it’s just…”

She had already planned to tell Ye Qingyu she was a red panda, but with the human’s intelligence, as long as she knew about one beast, she would surely be able to guess the entire studio.

At that time, how would Ye Qingyu be able to coexist with a pelican and a little bird? She couldn’t be fainting all day.

Moreover, Pei the Little Able Cat calculated that her next mating season was coming soon.

If the human directly rubbed and kneaded her with her hands, her head would surely explode with many fireworks…

In short, she decided to postpone it a little.

Well-fed and warmly dressed, the little sea otter sat on the living room sofa with everyone and told her story.

Ye Qingyu listened attentively and couldn’t help but sigh.

It turned out that the young girl and her mother were seaside residents. For some reason, the mother had been driven out of the village, and the young girl had then followed her inland.

She had naively tried to call the police and had been sent to a welfare institution. But due to her different living habits, she had been ostracized and bullied by the other children and had run away that same day.

She had also tried to cause a big scene by breaking into a movie press conference, but not only had she failed to find her mother, but she had also been detained and educated.

Now, she had just turned eighteen a few days ago. She usually lived in a nest deep in an alley, but the nest had been ruined by the rainstorm.

It wasn’t easy.

However, Ye Qingyu had originally thought this trip was to rescue a small animal, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a young girl.

“We understand your situation,” Pei the Little Able Cat said. “If you’re willing, you can stay at our studio for now and make further plans after you find your mother.”

The little sea otter rubbed her hands, her eyes round and bright. “Can I really stay?! I can work, and I only eat a little every day. I just need a nest.”

Pei the Little Able Cat pursed her lips slightly, her gaze softening.

“Everyone in the studio stayed on like this in the beginning. You don’t have to feel burdened. The most important thing now is to help you find your mother. Can you describe her a little?”

“Mhm. My mom has two eyes, one nose, and one mouth,” the little sea otter said, gesturing.

Although her mother had transformed into a human when she left, she was covered in wounds, and the little sea otter hadn’t gotten a clear look at her.

“…”

Everyone was a little at a loss.

Ye Qingyu said, “Don’t worry. We’ll take our time. We’ll find her eventually.”

And so, the little sea otter became a new member of the studio, and the empty desk in front of Ye Qingyu’s became her daily seat.

She was simple-minded, a capital-letter “Mama’s Beast.” She was polite and cute when she spoke, and she was the youngest girl in the studio, so everyone quickly accepted her.

With the addition of another beast, the studio seemed to have become a little more lively, but also a little more exposed—

The little sea otter felt that Ye Qingyu, this big sister human who had no mother to love her, was very pitiful, so she would always think of including her in everything she did.

That day, she and Jin Can were playing with a ball in the recreation area.

The Golden Retriever happily ran across the sofa and leaped for the ball, catching it in the air with precision—

—when she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. The little sea otter flung the door open and, seeing it was Ye Qingyu, invited her enthusiastically, “Sister Ye, do you want to play with the ball with us?”

“!?”

Jin Can, with the ball in her mouth, hastily transformed into her human form and landed on all fours, coming face to face with Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu looked down and saw Jin Can, wearing a collar, holding a ball in her mouth like a puppy, and also on all fours on the ground.

Her pupils trembled violently.

She had run into her colleague in the throes of a role-playing session.

She slowly backed away. “You two have fun.”

Another day, the little sea otter was playing hide-and-seek with Nian Qiu, but she couldn’t find her anywhere.

Just as Ye Qingyu came in, she blinked her clear eyes and asked quietly, “Sister Ye, did you see Sister Nian fly away from here?”

Ye Qingyu took a few seconds to react. “Fly away?”

Nian Qiu, hiding on the ceiling, trembled all over. Worried that she would be completely exposed by the little sea otter if she waited any longer, she had no choice but to fly down behind Ye Qingyu and transform into her human form. “I’m here!”

Even more so, that day, Ye Qingyu had muttered casually:

“Why hasn’t Boss Pei come to work yet?”

Easily seeing how much the human sister treasured the red panda sister, the little sea otter was worried she would be anxious and kindly informed her:

“Sister Rong is on the scholar tree, gnawing on a fruit.”

“…” Ye Qingyu blinked her eyes. “On the scholar tree?”

That magical scholar tree that seemed to have a large, fluffy tail and could move on its own without any wind?

In the backyard, on the scholar tree.

Pei the Little Able Cat finished her apple slice and was contentedly licking her fluffy paws.

Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine, and her large tail, which had been swinging contentedly, trembled for no reason.

…

Hearing that the new little sea otter had become the small animals’ weak link, threatening to expose everyone’s identities, Luo Bian flicked her hair coolly and shook her head.

“Aiya, she’s still just a little beast who has just entered society. She doesn’t have half of our composure.”

She hummed a song and, with a steady gait, walked to the large display tank in the living room.

A hint of melancholy flickered in her eyes.

A shrimp as cool, as composed, and as dashing as her, why is she always rejected by her ex-girlfriend when she asks to get back together?

Could it be that her ex-girlfriend is just after her beautiful body?

With this thought, she leaped into the tank with a beautiful dive and, the moment she hit the water, transformed into a light-blue mantis shrimp, flicking her shrimp tail as she swam toward her ex-girlfriend.

Just as a certain shrimp was using its walking legs to paw at its ex-girlfriend, Ye Qingyu came to the living room, preparing to get a mangosteen for her beautiful boss.

She unintentionally glanced at the tank and found that there were two mantis shrimp in it, entwined with each other.

There had clearly been only one when she arrived this morning.

What’s going on?

Puzzled, Ye Qingyu unconsciously walked to the side of the tank to observe.

Over here, Luo Bian was pawing at her ex-girlfriend, their feelings deep, their desires surging, about to stage a poignant shrimp movie…

Who knew that a huge object would suddenly appear next to them, and a terrifying black shadow would fall into the tank.

And so, the ex-girlfriend, who had been trembling and getting into it, was so scared by this that she fiercely whipped Luo Bian with her large shrimp tail.

And being whipped in the face at a critical moment, Luo Bian was so stressed that she leaped out of the tank.

Splash—

Ye Qingyu’s eyes widened, and she quickly caught the mantis shrimp that had suddenly leaped out of the tank.

Luo Bian curled her shrimp tail and gritted her teeth. “What kind of good person interrupts a shrimp’s business?”

Ye Qingyu’s eyelashes trembled. “Huh?”
