Little Xixi opened the door of her room, then saw Father and Mother Zhao frowning.
It had been a long time since she saw her parents frowning, and the strange uncle next to them still continued, “The monster cubs do whatever they want. They are rude and rushed. The monster cubs always like to fight and make trouble. In our kindergarten, it's already a big deal if you're wounded. These monster cubs like to mess around. I don't believe that little human child was unharmed there.”
Father Zhao remembered that Zhao Xixi previously had conflicts with her classmates when she was in school, and it was true. Then he said, “Maybe we can start with the pediatrics department of the nearby hospital to find out if they had sent the child for treatment during the day.”
Mother Zhao thought for a while and said, “If those monsters are determined not to let us find out who the child is, then the hospital definitely won't be able to find it out. They—the monsters—have their own unique security system. It has been so long, but none of us have cracked it.”
The strange uncle frowned and said, “I have an idea. We can't find the real one, so we can make a fake one.”
Father Zhao: “What do you mean?”
The strange uncle: “What I mean is, we can find a three- or four-year-old child and then announce to the public that this child is the one who entered the monster nursery. We can directly say that this child has been seriously injured, so if they want to refute it, it's necessary to reveal who the real human child is.” When Tao Tao said this, he looked meaningfully at the children's room next to him.
Father Zhao said cheerfully, as if he didn't understand the hint: “It's okay to think about this, but it's more troublesome to implement it. For example, my daughter is only three and a half years old now, but in fact she already has her own circle. Like her classmates and teachers in kindergarten, they will know the true situation. The current human children, unless they are about two years old, if not, we can't find human children without their own circle.”
Mother Zhao next to him said, “Moreover, if they expose this kind of thing to the public, it will be even more detrimental to us. It will even make other people doubt our alliance.”
Tao Tao froze for a moment, then said, “That's true, then I have no other choice.”
Father Zhao: “My daughter's kindergarten is next to them. When the time comes, I will think of a way. A sage has a thousand considerations; there must be one loss (聖人百慮，必有一疏), let alone a monster.”
The Chinese idiom 聖人百慮，必有一疏 has some meaning: No matter how smart a person is, in many considerations, there will be individual mistakes.
Immediately afterward, the three adults saw a little stubby girl coming out of the room with her little hands behind her back; she walked over slowly, walked up to Uncle Tao, then stretched out her hands and said, “Uncle, eat candy.”
In her palm lay two big white rabbit milk candies.
Uncle Tao never liked children, but even so, he couldn't resist taking two candies.
After he took the candy, Zhao Xixi sat beside him decently and said, “Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? I want to listen too.”
Father Zhao looked at Little Xixi and said gently, “We are discussing what to have for dinner today.”
Zhao Xixi: “...” Look, Mom and Dad are lying again. Alas, our family members are not good kids.
Zhao Xixi tilted her head and said, “Then what shall we have for dinner?”
Uncle Tao turned his head, looked at Zhao Xixi, and said, “Little Xixi, uncle asks you a question. If you can answer it well, uncle will take you to eat whatever you want.”
Zhao Xixi nodded vigorously and said, “Uncle, tell me.”
Tao Tao said, “Little Xixi, when you were studying, did you meet any children who went to the kindergarten next door to study?”
Zhao Xixi opened her big eyes naively, looked at this strange uncle, and asked in a childish voice, “Where is the kindergarten next door? Is their school like our school, where you can study? Then does their school have slides? I like slides and swings the most. There are many people sitting on the slides in our school, and I can’t even sit on them.”
The child’s words made Uncle Tao so amused. He said with a bit of mischief, “Their school has slides and swings. Do you want to go to that school?”
Zhao Xixi looked at this strange uncle with a sweet smile on her little face: “...” This uncle is also a liar. The school obviously does not have slides and swings. She is in school every day. How could she not know?
Zhao Xixi said immediately, “I want to go!” She wanted to ask herself if she could go.
Uncle Tao abruptly said, “But there are many monsters in there. If you go there, the monsters will eat you. Do you still want to go?”
Zhao Xixi: “...” Ha! They are just deceiving her as children who have never read books or gone to school. This trick only worked when she was a child, but it doesn't work now.
Alas, why do adults like to lie to children so much?
So Zhao Xixi thought about it and lied to the adults, saying, “Then I won't go. I'll study in my current kindergarten.”
Uncle Tao smiled. Father and Mother Zhao next to him were a bit uncomfortable. Although they used to like deceiving Zhao Xixi by saying monsters would eat children, she would be very obedient every time they deceived her. But now they haven't used this word to scare Zhao Xixi for a long time.
In the past, they saw that Zhao Xixi was well-behaved and obedient after scaring her. Because instead of explaining the truth to her, which she couldn't understand and would ask questions about, it was better to scare her quickly.
But now, either Father or Mother Zhao are feeling a bit uncomfortable because their first thought is that after this scare, Zhao Xixi will be so scared.
It’s true that this world is dangerous, and so are the monsters, but if you live in this world with a mentality of fear all the time, what's the point?
Father Zhao hugged Zhao Xixi and said, “It's okay. Mom and Dad will protect you.”
So none of the three adults found out that the kindergarten Zhao Xixi mentioned just now was the kindergarten she attended before, and now she is studying in the cub nursery kindergarten.
The next morning, when Father Zhao sent Zhao Xixi to the gate of the kindergarten, as usual, she wanted to watch his father leave first. However, every time Father Zhao turned his head and saw his daughter standing at the school gate, looking at him reluctantly, he felt so soft in his heart.
The real situation is that Zhao Xixi dared to run toward the kindergarten next door only after she saw that her father had left, and she could no longer see him.
But today, Dad didn't walk toward the gate of the community but walked in another direction.
Zhao Xixi thought for a while and said, “Dad, you are going in the wrong direction!”
Father Zhao turned his head, looked at his little daughter carrying a schoolbag who was looking at him at the gate of the kindergarten, and he said, “Daddy wants to go over there and take a look for a while. You go back to the classroom first.”
Zhao Xixi: “Dad, go to work quickly.”
Father Zhao: “You go to the classroom first. Class will start soon.”
Zhao Xixi looked at the kindergarten and said, “Okay.”
After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked toward the kindergarten. Rather than say she is walking, it would be better to say she moves, not only slowly but also turning around three times a step.
In the eyes of Father Zhao, this is because his daughter is reluctant to be apart from him.
But in fact, when Zhao Xixi watched her father disappear around the corner, she stopped going inside.
Teacher La Mei, standing at the entrance of the kindergarten, has been watching this scene, which is really funny and amusing.
Ever since the cub nursery kindergarten discovered that it was just a misunderstanding that Zhao Xixi's parents had enrolled her here, moreover, Zhao Xixi herself really wanted to stay in the cub nursery. So, Teacher La Mei has always been on duty to pick up the children at the gate of the human kindergarten every morning. It is because of Teacher La Mei's cover that Zhao Xixi can stand at the gate of the kindergarten for a few minutes every morning; then she can run to the cub nursery next door. And no one found anything unusual at all.
Of course, Teacher La Mei also saw Zhao Xixi's father go to the next door. She was not worried about anything and took the opportunity to touch Zhao Xixi's head and say, “Would you like to stand at the school gate with the teacher and welcome other students to the school?”
Zhao Xixi nodded happily, then stood upright and greeted the other students!
She just doesn't want to go in. If she does, how can she get out? And which classroom should she sit in?
Zhao Xixi is a chatterbox herself. She thought, The teacher can't find out that she is no longer studying here, so Zhao Xixi turned her head around, and then, with a bit cleverness, she said, “Teacher, I think the slides in our school are very fun. Teacher, will you go on a slide?”
Teacher La Mei suppressed a smile and said, “Teacher is already an adult, so I can't play with this.”
Zhao Xixi: “Then what does the teacher usually play?”
Teacher La Mei: “Teacher usually go shopping with friends, watch movies, buy things together, and also go to the amusement park together.”
When talking about friends, Zhao Xixi immediately started, saying: “I also have a friend. We usually comb fur… hair together! We comb hair together and then play pretend house together. I am the father, and he is the mother.”
Teacher La Mei: “I know you have a friend. Is your friend in the same class as you? Why have I never seen the child come to school with you?”
Zhao Xixi was speechless for a moment and said falteringly, “That…that…that is…, I don't live with him, so we never come to school together.”
“Oh, it looks like this.” Teacher La Mei said, “I remember you are the student in the second class of the small class, right?”
Zhao Xixi thought for a while and said, “Teacher, do you know the teacher in the second class of the small class?”
Teacher La Mei said, “I know her. But I don't have a good relationship with her. So I never talk to her.”
Zhao Xixi let out an “oh”, then said, “Yes, my friend and I are both students in the second class of the small class. It turns out that you have a bad relationship with our teacher.” Zhao Xixi was so happy, with a smile on her little face, that it was almost impossible to hide it. Zhao Xixi thought, If they have a bad relationship, they will definitely not chat. If they don't chat with each other, then the teacher will not know that she is actually not in that class.
Teacher La Mei: “…” Oh my god, that little child who once was determined to pick up the junk, what made you the way you are now? Why have you become so smart?
Even this little trick is not enough in the eyes of adults, but this is a child!
She still remembers that the child Zhao Xixi became famous on the monster forum because of that stupid video of her picking up trash. At that moment, many monsters said that if every human cub looked like this, it would not be a problem for monsters to dominate the world.
But now, the child can actually turn to rack her little brain.
However, the next moment, Zhao Xixi showed her chatty and curious nature: “Teacher, why do you have a bad relationship with the teacher in the second class of the small class? Is she pulling your braids?”
Teacher La Mei: “…This is a secret. I can't tell you.”
In fact, she herself is the teacher in the second class of the small class. Teacher La Mei said this on purpose because she has inserted all of Zhao Xixi's materials in her class. So she told Zhao Xixi specifically. In this way, if someone asks Zhao Xixi which class you are in, she also has a choice.
When Zhao Xixi heard it was a secret, she put her fingers to her mouth and shrank her small shoulders. She was as happy as a little squirrel and said with a crooked smile, “Ah, I see. It's the teacher's secret. Me too… I have a secret, too, that I can't tell others!”
Little Xixi learned one thing from the teacher: If there is something that you don't want to tell others, you can just say, It's my secret, and I can't tell you.
Zhao Xixi was so happy because she learned this statement.
Zhao Xixi’s silly mood had infected Teacher La Mei. She didn’t even know what she was happy about, but the corners of Teacher La Mei’s mouth kept rising, and her mood became happy.
What a cute human cub!
Although she has been working as a human kindergarten teacher and is able to come into contact with human cubs of various personalities every day—some are cute, some are willful, and some are silly—Zhao Xixi is really a treasure, and no other human cub has ever been just like her.
Teacher La Mei really wanted to hug her and hold her high!
“Xixi, why are you standing at the school gate?” When Father Zhao came back, he saw his daughter standing at the school gate.
Zhao Xixi said to her father, “I am welcoming my classmates to school. Dad, are you going to work?”
Father Zhao nodded and said, “Dad is going to work. You should listen to the teacher at school. Dad will pick you up in the afternoon.”
Zhao Xixi: “Okay, then dad must be obedient when you are at work.”
Father Zhao nodded with a smile and said to Teacher La Mei next to him, “The teacher has hard work to take care of my child.”
Teacher La Mei said, “No, Zhao Xixi is very obedient and sensible at school.”
Father Zhao narrowed his eyes with a smile and said to Zhao Xixi, “Daddy, go first. Baby says goodbye to Dad.”
Zhao Xixi waved her hand and said, “Bye, Daddy.”
Father Zhao walked a certain distance, and when he turned around, he saw his daughter was still standing there, still looking at him.
She was… really reluctant to be apart from him.
Father Zhao thought that children of this age may be very clingy to their parents, but when they grow up a bit, they will not be so clingy anymore. It's just that they can't keep their children by their side forever.
When Father Zhao was lamenting the relationship between parents and children, Zhao Xixi finally waited until her father was out of sight, and then Zhao Xixi hurriedly said to Teacher La Mei, “Teacher, my stomach hurts. I want to go to the toilet over there.”
Teacher La Mei: “Go… Go…”
Zhao Xixi immediately ran towards the cub nursery next door. What she didn't know was whether it was the parents who were sending their children to school or the children, what they saw was Zhao Xixi entering the kindergarten instead of running towards the next door.
Teacher La Mei looked at Zhao Xixi's back and sent a message to her colleagues in the cub nursery: “Let's make a slide in the cub nursery. Not just human kindergartens can have it, but our cub nursery also has to own it too.” There was still one thing Zhao Xixi said that was true—it was fun to play the slide.
The human kindergarten has fun slides, and the cub nursery has nothing, but even so, Zhao Xixi still wants to go to the monster cub nursery kindergarten!
Teacher La Mei looked at the gloomy weather outside, but she was in a happy mood. So she felt the weather was really nice today.
