Chapter 54
Chu Jiangting felt just as reluctant as the panda cub to leave Teacher Bai.
After all, during this time, he had been in a shared sensory link with the panda’s spiritual entity. Although he didn’t control the panda cub’s consciousness, he could empathize with the interactions with Teacher Bai.
Having gotten used to Teacher Bai’s gentle care, suddenly leaving was something he couldn’t adapt to with anyone else.
At this moment, Chu Jiangting had begun to understand Han Baiyi’s feelings.
Last time, the little black panther left in a hurry, and Teacher Bai hadn’t even had the chance to say goodbye. Even the audience in the livestream felt the same; watching the panda cub tugging at Teacher Bai’s sleeve with teary eyes, everyone couldn’t help but feel sad.
[Sigh, no one can monopolize Teacher Bai; every cub has to leave once they grow up!]
[I’m really going to miss Qiu Qiu. He’s so round and fluffy, so cute!]
[Speaking of which, among this year’s new batch, two S-levels have already awakened. I wonder if there will be any more.]
[Based on past experiences, among a thousand military school freshmen, typically two to three S-levels awaken. Since two have already awakened this year, it’s hard to say if there will be more.]
[I’m laughing so hard. Those wealthy families are usually so arrogant, but none of their offspring even achieved one S-level! All those resources wasted; it’s just so funny.]
[If there aren’t any more S-levels after this, does that mean our wife can take a break? Taking a break won’t reduce his salary, right? Oh no, are we not going to have our wife’s livestreams anymore? QAQ]
…
Bai Nuosi wasn’t anxious about the next work arrangement at all.
After all, he still had the snake baby and little Naby to take care of.
And that Mr. Golden Eagle; until Director Huo’s wounds healed, he had to prepare three meals a day for Mr. Golden Eagle as well.
Whether it was picking up food from the cafeteria or cooking himself, someone had to manage the situation for the Golden Eagle locked in a cage.
With reddened eyes, Bai Nuosi placed the panda cub in Chu Jiangting’s arms, and the panda cub began to cry loudly, sounding just like a pig being slaughtered, creating quite a scene.
Chu Jiangting felt very awkward. Seeing that Teacher Bai looked pained, he quickly said, “I’ll take it back now; my family is still waiting.”
Of course, this was a lie to placate Teacher Bai. Chu Jiangting’s family was currently too afraid to contact him easily, worried that any communication would disrupt his training and lead to the head instructor’s displeasure, which would affect their work performance!
The panda cub also knew it was about to evolve; its spirit wasn’t as good as before, but it didn’t want to leave Teacher Bai, so it had been pretending to be energetic, not letting Teacher Bai notice!
It had thought it could sneak by and continue staying with Teacher Bai.
Who would have thought that Chu Jiangting would come to take it away personally?
Panda Cub: “Awooo!”
Bai Nuosi: “…”
Chu Jiangting hugged it, steeling himself, and turned to leave: “Teacher Bai, we’ll be off now.”
Bai Nuosi looked at them with concern: “Okay, be safe on the way…”
Panda Cub: “Awooo!”
Bai Nuosi: “…”
As they walked along, Chu Jiangting grit his teeth and said in a low voice, “If you keep screaming like that, the livestream is recording. This will be your lifelong black history!”
It would also be his black history; damn, just thinking about it made him feel embarrassed.
The panda cub’s pig-like squealing stopped, and at that moment, they heard Teacher Bai’s voice: “Xiao Chu, Qiu Qiu, wait a moment.”
Chu Jiangting immediately halted and turned to look at Teacher Bai.
His small movements were all seen by the audience in the livestream:
[Xiao Chu doesn’t want to leave Teacher Bai at all; look at how he stopped, almost like he wanted to take root in place.]
[I heard that Xiao Chu is really fierce and powerful in military school, but why is he blushing now? Dog emoji.]
[Oh no, what a pity! There’s only one Teacher Bai, but there are so many boys! Little Black Panther, Little Panda, Little Teng Snake, what should we do, family? Who should we choose?]
[I advise the people above not to get tangled up too early, because maybe the next furry one is already on the way. Dog emoji.]
…
Bai Nuosi rushed to Chu Jiangting’s side and looked at the tearful panda cub, feeling extremely pained.
The panda cub had just cried so heartbreakingly that it made Bai Nuosi feel very uncomfortable.
He took out two jars of pickled bamboo shoots from his storage terminal. The glass jars were a bit large and heavy, and after taking them out, he carefully placed them on the ground. Since they were specially pickled for the panda cub, he hadn’t sliced them. Some bamboo shoots were quite big, so he cut them into pieces and packed them into the jars for pickling. Once they were ready, he could take a piece out for the panda cub to gnaw on.
Each piece of bamboo shoot was about four to five centimeters long, slightly bigger than his palm. The panda cub could gnaw on it for at least ten minutes.
Not only that, Bai Nuosi also took out two jars of pickled cucumbers, spicy pickled vegetables, and snacks he had made for the babies like hawthorn lollipops, honey pear syrup, vegetable finger biscuits, and so on. All these were homemade, healthy, and nutritious.
Some were specially made for the panda cub, while others were prepared periodically to store for any babies he encountered.
Bai Nuosi placed all these foods on the ground and also arranged the panda cub’s favorite “Milk”—milk powder and honey. He even took out the little towel that the panda cub usually used to wipe its face and folded it nicely, packing it with a small toothbrush and clean bowls and chopsticks into a bag.
Seeing this, the panda cub’s tears flowed again.
Wuwuwu, Teacher Bai really doesn’t want it anymore; he didn’t even leave any of these things behind, wuwuwu.
The panda cub cried and sobbed, while Chu Jiangting looked at the things prepared by Teacher Bai, feeling a pang in his heart.
Teacher Bai had only taken care of the panda cub for a little over ten days, not even a full month, yet he had already prepared so much for the panda cub.
When the panda cub was leaving, he packed so much food for it. He knew the panda cub had a poor sense of taste and was picky about food, so he was worried it wouldn’t eat well when it got home or wouldn’t be used to the food at preschool.
Chu Jiangting had left home for school and training at a young age, but even his parents had never prepared as much for him as Teacher Bai had for the panda cub.
Chu Jiangting walked over, holding the panda cub, head down, his voice hoarse: “Thank you, Teacher Bai. Qiu Qiu is really lucky to have such a responsible teacher like you.”
Qiu Qiu would probably never forget Teacher Bai in this lifetime.
He had never named his spiritual entity, but from now on, the panda’s name would be Qiu Qiu!
Bai Nuosi had taken out all of the panda cub’s favorite foods, not keeping anything for himself: “No need to be polite; these were all prepared for Qiu Qiu. By the way, I still have a lot of milk powder left. If Qiu Qiu has trouble adjusting to other milk powders after going home, you can contact me, and I’ll send you some.”
The rewards he received from the livestream were enough for Qiu Qiu to drink a whole lot of milk powder!
Bai Nuosi also taught Chu Jiangting: “When preparing milk for Qiu Qiu, mix four scoops of milk powder with two hundred milliliters of warm water, and add two scoops of honey. He’ll love drinking it. If you take him for a check-up later and his sense of taste improves, you can reduce the honey a bit. It’s not good for him to have too much honey; he’s still small.”
Chu Jiangting pursed his lips and nodded, thinking that once they got back, the panda cub would become a panda teenager. A grown panda would probably need a basin to drink the formula milk.
Chu Jiangting packed all the things Bai Nuosi gave him into his personal storage terminal and finally hugged the panda cub, leaving the S district where Teacher Bai was, and then left the Rose Nursery.
With Mons personally escorting him, he arrived at the military district sanatorium previously used by Han Baiyi. For the next three days, he and the panda cub would spend the spirit evolution period there.
This time, Bai Nuosi’s mood was very calm. He held little Naby softly and said, “Fortunately, I pickled enough bamboo shoots and made enough biscuits. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have anything to give Qiu Qiu as a farewell gift.”
Little Naby nestled in the basket, lazy and showing no emotion regarding this farewell.
The viewers in the livestream room once again marveled at Teacher Bai’s thoughtfulness:
[Folks, I was really shocked when Teacher Bai took out those foods! He spread it all over the ground. This must be enough for the panda cub to eat for a long time!]
[Tears of envy streamed from the corners of my mouth. Who is jealous? I won’t say. QAQ]
[My wife is so capable, wuu wuu wuu QAQ. I want to eat pickled bamboo shoots too! Never mind, I want to apply to military school! During the awakening of adulthood, I hope to receive Teacher Bai’s care too!]
……
News about the panda cub’s evolution also made it to the trending topics again. The audience in the Beastman Star System was very focused on the level of spirit entities and their awakenings. They had watched an S-class spirit entity grow from the moment of awakening, and now it had finally reached the time for its first evolution, which everyone was very concerned about.
Completely unaware of this, Bai Nuosi slowly drove the baby’s stroller, holding little Naby in his arms, with two pots of small roses placed in front of the car window. He wiped his eyes and softly said, “I wonder if Qiu Qiu will eat well when it gets home?”
It loved listening to stories; would anyone tell it tales?
It loved eating sour and sweet foods; would its family deny it those treats?
Bai Nuosi was worried in his heart. Although Mons had said that there might not be any new babies needing his care for a while, and he could take a good rest recently, Bai Nuosi didn’t want to rest. He felt bored doing nothing every day and always wanted to find something to do.
The panda cub was gone, but he could continue making pickled bamboo shoots and similar foods, so that when he meet Xiao Chu next time, he could take some home for the panda cub.
After all, Xiao Chu, like that little officer with the surname Han, wore a military school uniform and was certainly one of the guards under Director Huo. Since he worked in the Rose Garden, he could always see each other.
Meanwhile, in a private training ground of an old-fashioned family in the Imperial Center District, a loud explosion suddenly erupted, and the entire training ground exploded.
The butler ran out in panic: “Sir! It’s bad! The young master’s mental power has gone out of control!”
The elderly man with graying hair leaned on his cane, unable to conceal his panic: “What? It’s only been a few days since the differentiation. How could it…”
It had only been a few days since the differentiation! The training had gone well for the past few days, so how could it suddenly go out of control today?
Could it be that he made a mistake by keeping his newly differentiated grandson at home, hiding it from the military school?
I was wondering if Bai Nuosi was going to take care of spiritual entities lower than S-rank in the meantime, but here’s our new S-rank cub coming soon, lol. It would be nice if it wasn’t another spiritual entity with a trauma of some sort, as it seems to be the cliche setup at this point, but I’ll still enjoy reading it nonetheless.
Thanks for the chapter! 😀
