Becoming a Kindergarten Teacher for S-Class Spirit Beasts – CH6

Chapter 6

After returning to his room, Bai Nuosi immediately went to the bathroom to check on the little black panther cub.

Actually, on his own home planet, he wouldn’t dare leave a cub alone in the bathroom, since accidents can easily happen there.

However, the infrastructure on this planet is excellent, especially at the Rose Nursery. All the dormitories here are designed according to the needs of the cubs.

This includes the caregivers’ dormitories. The faucets and hot water systems in the bathrooms require the caregiver’s fingerprint to activate, so it’s impossible for cubs to turn them on while playing.

All the edges and corners are rounded, the floors have non-slip mats, and even the toilets are separately enclosed.

This is one of the reasons why Bai Nuosi likes it here—the infrastructure is safe enough to prevent 90% of accidents involving young children.

Just as Bai Nuosi reached the bathroom door, he saw a fluffy black ball rushing out at high speed and bumping into his leg with a “thud.”

The little black panther cub obviously knew that the strangers outside had left, so he hurriedly ran out to find Bai Nuosi.

He seemed to really like Bai Nuosi.

Although Bai Nuosi didn’t quite understand why, he had always been popular with little ones, so he was used to it.

Smiling, Bai Nuosi squatted down, reached out to hold the little black panther cub in his arms, and gently stroked its head and back to soothe it. “Sweetheart, what were you hiding from just now? Are you afraid of those uncles?”

The little black panther cub buried its head into Bai Nuosi’s arms, its long tail tightly wrapped around his waist, as if afraid that Bai Nuosi would hand him over to those strangers.

Seeing the cub like this, Bai Nuosi felt a bit sad.

He even had some unpleasant speculations—for instance, had this cub been abused by someone? Otherwise, why would he be so reactive?

It was already past eight in the evening, time for the cubs to sleep.

Next to Bai Nuosi’s room was a dedicated room for the cubs. Almost every caregiver’s room had a cub’s room next to it, making it convenient for them to respond promptly to the cubs’ needs at night.

The two rooms were connected, separated by a door. Bai Nuosi had already obtained access rights; his iris scan could unlock the door’s security lock.

However, when he carried the little black panther cub into the adjacent baby room, the cub nestled in his arms seemed a bit unhappy.

It stretched its nose to sniff and found that the room didn’t have Bai Nuosi’s scent, which made it somewhat dissatisfied.

Thus, the little black panther cub whimpered and squirmed twice in Bai Nuosi’s arms, expressing its displeasure with the room.

Bai Nuosi immediately responded to the black panther. He held the cub a bit tighter, gently stroking its back, and softly walked around the room with the little black panther cub. “Sweetheart, don’t be afraid. This room is connected to the teacher’s room, and there are many fun things here. Look, wow, there’s an aquarium here.”

In the corner of the baby room, there was a small “pool.” The pool was surrounded by soft sponges, filled with blue and white ocean balls. Around it were many fluffy marine animal plush toys and a small slide.

This was a place for the cubs to play and roll around. Bai Nuosi thought it was quite nice. Letting new cubs play here for a while would help them not reject the room.

After playing and getting tired, they could rest.

So, Bai Nuosi carried the little black panther cub into the pool, sat on the edge with ocean balls under his feet, and said to the cub, “Sweetheart, do you want to come down and play?”

The little black panther cub didn’t react. Obviously, it wasn’t interested in this children’s ‘pool.’

The black panther turned its head, glanced at the ‘pool,’ then looked at the plush marine animal toys placed around the pool’s edge. It snorted from its nose, turned its head disdainfully, and burrowed back into Bai Nuosi’s arms.

Bai Nuosi smiled helplessly.

Since the little black panther cub wasn’t interested in these, he could only get up, holding the cub, and slowly walked around the room. He needed to accompany the cub to get used to the new environment; otherwise, the cub wouldn’t be able to sleep.

This required great patience.

Meanwhile, at the Han family’s manor in the central district, the lights were as bright as day. Han Baiyi was still wearing his military academy’s new student training uniform. With a calm expression, he got off the aircraft and walked into the splendid manor.

His awakening as an S-level was somewhat unexpected for the Han family. After all, over the years, the best resources had been given to the Han family’s direct descendants, but none of them had amounted to anything. Instead, Han Baiyi, the adopted son whom the Han family head had planned to train as a bodyguard for his eldest son, had awakened as S-level upon reaching adulthood, making the Han family head’s expression somewhat unpleasant.

However, if they could tame Han Baiyi’s spiritual entity, it would also be a good option.

But the easiest time to tame a spiritual entity is during the first month after they are born. However, Han Baiyi’s spiritual entity had already been taken by the Rose Nursery, and the Han family hadn’t even seen it. They could only call Han Baiyi back to discuss the matter.

Han Baiyi was well aware of this, but he had no choice but to return. Growing up in the Han family, he had long since obeyed the Han family head’s words, even fearing that man from the bottom of his heart.

The Han family had many members. Besides the direct descendants, several talented children from side branches were also brought to the Han manor to be trained together from a young age.

When Han Baiyi returned, seven or eight young people were already present. As soon as the Han family’s eldest young master saw Han Baiyi return, he sneered and blocked him in the front garden. “Our Han family’s great hero has finally returned?”

Han Baiyi glanced in the direction of the main gate of the Han family’s old mansion, silently lowered his head, and said, “Big Brother.”

The eldest young master sneered, “Don’t call me that; I don’t deserve to be called your big brother.”

The eldest young master was two years older than Han Baiyi. He had received countless top-quality resources since childhood, regularly drinking expensive spiritual power boosters every day. Yet, in the end, his differentiated spiritual entity was only A-level. A-levels also have strengths and weaknesses; he was the middling type, and if he didn’t regularly take spiritual power boosters, he might even drop lower.

It turned out that overusing boosters would cause dependency. Although this was well known, the eldest young master didn’t want others to know.

He was jealous of Han Baiyi, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at him. “Since you’ve differentiated your spiritual entity, why don’t you accompany your big brother for some practice today? Let me see the strength of an S-level.”

Han Baiyi’s spiritual entity wasn’t by his side. Of course, he could summon it if he wanted to, but sensing that at this moment, the little black panther cub was nestled in Bai Nuosi’s warm embrace, he couldn’t bear to summon it.

The little black panther cub was being comforted and held by Teacher Xiao Bai, and as the main body, he could feel that warmth.

Han Baiyi pressed his lips together, looking at the eldest young master. “The family head said he had something to discuss with me today; perhaps it’s inconvenient.”

The young people behind the eldest young master immediately surrounded him, looking at him with contemptuous eyes. “What? You just became S-level, and you don’t respect the eldest young master anymore? Do you really think that because the family head appreciates you, you can do whatever you want in the Han family?”

Hearing this, the eldest young master’s face became even uglier.

What he feared most was losing his position as the Han family’s heir.

Han Baiyi pressed his lips together. He didn’t have such thoughts. Since he was young, he didn’t dare to stand out, tried to lower his presence, and even often tried to hide himself, but he could never avoid these people.

Han Baiyi frowned, standing in place, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The result was, as in countless times before, these Han family disciples, under the pretext of training, surrounded him and beat him up.

Han Baiyi didn’t dare to fight back. Since childhood, the Han family people told him that he was adopted to be the eldest young master’s follower; he was the “servant” of the Han family manor. If he resisted and injured these young masters, the family head would be angry.

Finally, Han Baiyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, dusted off the dirt from his body, and endured the pain to meet the family head.

After carrying the little black panther cub around the room several times, even opening all the drawers, under the bed, and the wardrobe to familiarize it, Bai Nuosi saw that the cub had relaxed its guard and closed its eyes.

Suddenly, the little black panther cub opened its eyes again, raised its head in his arms, and looked at him with deep eyes.

Bai Nuosi: “……”

Bai Nuosi paused his singing, feeling that the little black panther cub seemed to have suddenly changed again.

He stood still, looked down at the cub, and softly asked, “Sweetheart, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

Han Baiyi didn’t know why he suddenly synchronized with his spiritual entity.

After coming out of the Han family head’s study, he felt very tired.

When he returned to his dark room and lay quietly on the bed, he suddenly wanted to see Teacher Xiao Bai in person.

It wasn’t just his spiritual entity that liked the warm and gentle embrace; he liked it too.

Han Baiyi silently rested his head on Bai Nuosi’s shoulder, worried that Bai Nuosi would notice his emotions, so he closed his eyes.

Bai Nuosi keenly noticed that the little black panther cub’s mood had changed. Previously, it was calm and peaceful, but now it seemed unhappy.

Bai Nuosi held the little black panther cub and gently rocked him, softly asking, “Sweetheart, did you have a nightmare? Don’t be afraid; Teacher Xiao Bai will sing for you.”

Bai Nuosi sang a lullaby, his voice soft: “Sleep, sleep, my dear baby; sleep, sleep, Teacher’s good baby…”

The little black panther’s expression was peaceful.

This was the first time Han Baiyi had heard a lullaby. Teacher Xiao Bai’s voice was so gentle, his embrace was warm, and there was a very pleasant scent. Han Baiyi dazedly nestled in Teacher Xiao Bai’s warm embrace, looking a bit lost.

He thought, if his mother were still alive, would she have held him so gently and sung him to sleep?

If he had had the chance to attend kindergarten when he was young, would his teachers have been as gentle as Teacher Xiao Bai?

The care Teacher Xiao Bai gave him was something he had never experienced before. If everyone in the world could be as gentle and easygoing as Teacher Xiao Bai, that would be wonderful.

The little black panther cub fell asleep, but he didn’t seem to sleep soundly. Bai Nuosi was very worried, staying by the cub’s bedside until late at night. Only when he saw the cub enter deep sleep did he get up.

Tomorrow was his first official day at work; he had to get up early and couldn’t be late.

But at the same time, he was worried about the little black panther cub, so he set an alarm clock every two hours. When the alarm rang, he would get up to check on the cub next door.

When he returned to his room, it was already midnight. His window was open, the curtains gently fluttering in the night breeze under the moonlight.

He yawned, walked to the window, and was about to close it when he suddenly let out a low “Ah!” All the hair on his body stood up, and he stared fixedly at his windowsill.

On it, a black snake was lying there…

Bai Nuosi: “……”

Why was there a snake in the cub nursery!
