Becoming a Kindergarten Teacher for S-Class Spirit Beasts – CH74

Chapter 74

Huo Ranchuan wouldn’t allow Bai Nuosi to return to his dormitory. After all, Bai Nuosi had injuries, and the doctor had advised bed rest. Moreover, after being kidnapped and spending a sleepless night, he indeed needed proper rest.

After finishing his call with Mons, Huo Ranchuan entered the room and said to Bai Nuosi, “Don’t worry about the little ones. The snake baby is with me, and the little lion will come to see you later. You just lie down. I’ll have someone bring you meals.”

Bai Nuosi seldom needed others to take care of him, and he wasn’t accustomed to accepting help. Sitting on the hospital bed, he watched Huo Ranchuan making phone calls, instructing people to deliver meals and snacks regularly, and even arranging guards at the door. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Bai Nuosi stood up and said, “Thank you, Principal Huo. I’m really sorry to trouble you.”

As he spoke, he noticed Huo Ranchuan’s jacket placed on the bedside table. Feeling a bit uneasy, he said, “Your jacket got dirty. I’ll wash it and return it to you.”

Not knowing whether Principal Huo would be unhappy, Bai Nuosi felt quite embarrassed.

Huo Ranchuan also saw the jacket and, thinking of the golden eagle’s misunderstanding, his ears turned slightly red. He nodded, “Alright.”

Huo Ranchuan was about to go see Song Hengye and was preparing to leave when there was a knock on the door. Mons’s voice sounded from outside, “Teacher Bai, sorry to bother you. It’s Mons.”

Bai Nuosi’s eyes lit up, and he asked Huo Ranchuan, “Is Supervisor Mons here? Did he bring the little lion?”

Huo Ranchuan nodded, “He should have.”

Bai Nuosi immediately wanted to go open the door but was held back by Huo Ranchuan. “You lie down; I’ll get the door.”

Teacher Bai really didn’t have any sense of being a patient.

Huo Ranchuan walked over and opened the door. Seeing who was outside, his expression turned a bit speechless.

Mons stood at the door, with two fluffy creatures in front of him—a round little lion and a short, chubby little white tiger. Behind him stood two handsome young men wearing guard uniforms: Han Baiyi and Chu Jiangting.

Mons was sandwiched between these four S-level individuals; even a prince wouldn’t have such an entourage.

Facing Huo Ranchuan’s chilly gaze, Mons felt wronged. “Commander, didn’t you say to arrange two guards to watch the door? It just so happens that they are on duty, and they volunteered, so I let them come.”

Han Baiyi and Chu Jiangting stood behind Mons and, when Huo Ranchuan looked over, they immediately gave a standard military salute. “Commander.”

Huo Ranchuan: “…”

They were already here; what else could he do? He couldn’t just send them back, especially with Teacher Bai watching.

Mons excitedly said, “Oh, Commander, look!”

Mons crouched down and picked up the short and fluffy little white tiger standing next to the little lion, lifting it up in front of Huo Ranchuan. He lowered his voice, “Commander, this is Song Hengye.”

Song Hengye’s spiritual beast—a short, chubby little white tiger with a serious expression!

Another fierce beast; like the lion and the leopard, when it grows up, it will be an excellent fighter.

Unfortunately, after three years, there still hadn’t been an S-level flying-type spiritual beast awakened.

There were too few flying types, and the mecha squad was in dire need. The golden eagle had been out of control for so many years, and the Empire still hadn’t found someone to replace Chen Min.

Huo Ranchuan nodded, “Not bad.”

It looked steady, unlike a certain little lion…

The little lion had already grown impatient. It barked twice, squeezed past Huo Ranchuan’s feet, and rushed to the bedside on its short legs.

Bai Nuosi, sitting on the bed, was also a bit impatient.

As soon as the little lion rushed over, Bai Nuosi’s eyes lit up, and he smiled happily. “Xingxing!”

The little lion jumped onto the bed and leaped into Bai Nuosi’s arms.

Caught off guard by the pounce, Bai Nuosi leaned back, but fortunately, there were two pillows behind him. Leaning against the pillows, he held the little lion tightly, gently stroking its back. “Xingxing finally came to see the teacher. Did you miss me last night?”

As soon as Bai Nuosi spoke, the little lion’s eyes turned red, and tears welled up, suddenly bursting forth. It howled and began to cry loudly.

Bai Nuosi hugged the little lion, continuously comforting it. “Alright, it’s okay now. Teacher is back, isn’t he? Xingxing, don’t cry anymore; you won’t look pretty if you cry.”

The little lion cried for a while before sobbing, “Teacher, I’m sorry…”

It was all its fault that Teacher Bai got kidnapped. It was too careless and didn’t realize that those bad people would target Teacher Bai.

Those people deliberately used it to lure Teacher Bai out, and it hadn’t noticed at all!

The little lion was extremely remorseful and sad. Its small heart had suffered a huge blow.

Now, finally able to nestle in Teacher Bai’s arms again, the little lion couldn’t be more relieved.

Qin Yuxing was confined, but because he was worried about Song Hengye and eager to see Teacher Bai, he had been sharing senses with the little lion.

At this moment, he was nestled in the little lion’s consciousness, watching Teacher Bai gently comforting him, and he was crying alone in the confinement room.

Teacher Bai was so kind. Even though all this was caused by him, Teacher Bai didn’t ask any questions or show any anger.

How could there be such a good teacher?

In the past, the little lion always wanted to find ways to attract Teacher Bai’s attention, wanting him to hold it, comfort it, and stroke it.

But now that Teacher Bai was unconditionally holding and comforting the little lion, it felt even more upset.

Qin Yuxing felt that he had almost harmed Teacher Bai and thought he was really unworthy.

He logged onto the Star Network, started a live broadcast, and began scolding those who kidnapped Teacher Bai. “Teacher Bai isn’t someone you can mess with, understand? Don’t force me to lead troops to wipe out your base. Don’t think I’m joking; I mean what I say! And those who spread rumors, I’ve noted all your IDs. My title as a genius isn’t for nothing; I have a photographic memory, understand? If you continue to be so stubborn, I won’t mind playing with you… Damn it, why did my internet disconnect again!”

Qin Yuxing wiped his tears, slicked his hair back, and sniffled indignantly. “Damn it, I will find the bastard who keeps cutting my internet one day!”

A certain instructor assigned to monitor Qin Yuxing sighed silently. No wonder Commander Huo had asked him to keep a close eye on Qin Yuxing. Sure enough, this edgy teenager couldn’t stay quiet even in confinement. Listening to his over-the-top declarations was giving people second-hand embarrassment.

If they let him continue, he might end up trending on the hot searches again.

Didn’t you see that after just two live broadcasts, Qin Yuxing’s followers had skyrocketed from tens of thousands to several million?

The little lion nestled in Bai Nuosi’s arms, sobbing. Han Baiyi and Chu Jiangting stood at the door, peering in. Chu Jiangting’s expression was full of jealousy. “Teacher Bai used to hold Qiuqiu like that too.”

Han Baiyi said calmly, “But Teacher Bai calls Little Black Panther ‘Baby.'”

Chu Jiangting: “…”

Chu Jiangting was successfully rendered speechless.

After a few seconds, he retorted unwillingly, “Hmph, that’s because Teacher Bai was too lazy to name it. ‘Baby’—if you think about it, Teng Snake is also Teacher Bai’s ‘Baby.'”

Han Baiyi glanced at Chu Jiangting, perhaps irritated, and said nothing.

Their quarrels were meaningless now.

After all, the one nestled in Teacher Bai’s arms was the little lion, and next, there was the little white tiger, as well as the Teng Snake that always stayed by Teacher Bai’s side.

Chu Jiangting muttered softly, “Damn it, when will the little lion grow up?”

Huo Ranchuan entered with Mons. Mons was holding the serious-faced little white tiger and came over to greet Bai Nuosi. “Teacher Bai, are you alright? You must have been frightened last night.”

As the supervisor of Zone S, Mons felt quite guilty.

Teacher Bai was a caretaker under his charge—excellent in his work and good-natured—yet he had encountered a kidnapping.

Mons didn’t know how to comfort him other than giving him a raise.

Bai Nuosi smiled, “I’m fine, thank you for your concern, Supervisor Mons. Last night, thanks to Mr. Golden Eagle and Principal Huo’s help, they were the ones who worked the hardest.”

As he spoke, Bai Nuosi’s eyes were fixed on the little white tiger in Mons’s arms. He hesitated and couldn’t help asking while holding the little lion, “Supervisor Mons, is that a baby white tiger you’re holding?”

Supervisor Mons immediately brought the little white tiger closer for Bai Nuosi to see, excitedly saying, “Yes, a white tiger cub that was just… just brought in. It’s a few days younger than the little lion. Look, isn’t it cute?”

Unable to resist, Bai Nuosi reached out and gently petted the little white tiger’s head, nodding excitedly, “So cute, super cute! How is the little white tiger so beautiful? Look at its fur, white and soft like clouds in the sky. See these gray-black stripes—wow, they’re like ink wash paintings, not too dark or too light, just perfect. And its little paws and nose are pink! Oh my, sweetheart, you’re so gorgeous!”

As he praised, he gently rubbed and touched the little white tiger here and there, his movements very careful, afraid of startling or making it uncomfortable.

Watching the little white tiger’s expression cautiously, he asked in a gentle voice, “Sweetheart, what’s your name? Are you joining the nursery today? Which teacher will you be with in the future?”

The little white tiger’s face was tight, expression serious, and it looked at Bai Nuosi with vigilant eyes.

Of course, it wasn’t just wary of Bai Nuosi; it was wary of everyone present.

This was Song Hengye’s habit. His survival experiences since childhood made him accustomed to relying on himself; he didn’t trust anyone.

At this moment, even though he was injured and his spiritual sea was affected by the drugs, he was still forcing himself to stay alert, sharing senses with the newly awakened little white tiger.

Even with Qin Yuxing’s assurance, he was still uneasy about leaving the little white tiger at the Rose Garden Nursery.

But given his current physical condition and identity limitations, he had no choice but to send the little white tiger to the nursery.

After all, Commander Huo could protect his spiritual beast. If he dragged his injured body around with the little white tiger, he might be ambushed.

However, even though he knew he had to be cautious and couldn’t trust anyone, Teacher Bai’s praise just now still moved him. The little white tiger’s cold expression almost broke. If Teacher Bai praised him a bit more, his tail would probably be wagging.

Mons said to Bai Nuosi, “You can call him Xiao Ye. He just joined the nursery today and hasn’t been assigned a caretaker yet.”

Although Teacher Bai loved the little ones, neither Huo Ranchuan nor Mons planned to assign the little white tiger to his care this time.

Since Bai Nuosi had started working officially, he hadn’t taken any time off. Plus, he was injured and had a little lion to look after.

In any case, Teacher Bai indeed needed to rest.

At this point, Huo Ranchuan spoke, “Mons, the little white tiger will be in your care. Focus on looking after him for the time being.”

Although there were other caretakers in Zone S, the little white tiger’s personality was already reflected in its expression. From the moment it entered, its eyes were filled with vigilance and doubt.

Mons was also an instructor at the military academy. Although he didn’t lead Song Hengye’s group, Song Hengye knew him. Perhaps being with Mons would make him feel more at ease.

Mons immediately nodded, “Yes, Principal.”

Bai Nuosi felt a bit disappointed. Holding the little lion and looking at the others, he softly said, “Actually, Supervisor Mons is very busy and might not have that much time… Maybe the little white tiger could play with the little lion? They’re about the same age and size; they could become good friends.”

Mons scratched his head and chuckled, “Don’t worry, Teacher Bai. I have two assistants; we can manage.”

Bai Nuosi was a bit disheartened.

He reached out and scratched the little white tiger’s head. “The little white tiger is so cute. I’ve never taken care of a tiger cub before.”

As he spoke, he looked at Huo Ranchuan. His dark, obsidian-like eyes blinked twice. Although he didn’t say anything, Huo Ranchuan fully understood his meaning.

Seeing the bandages on Bai Nuosi’s arms and legs—even though they were superficial wounds—they couldn’t be ignored. Superficial wounds could still be painful. Moreover, Bai Nuosi’s skin was fair and delicate, with bruises all over. It made Huo Ranchuan’s heart ache just looking at him.

He shook his head sternly, “Teacher Bai, you need to rest. There are new little ones joining the nursery every day; you can’t take care of all of them alone. You should take proper rest and take care of your health.”

Bai Nuosi lowered his head in disappointment. “Alright.”

What a pity. If he weren’t injured, perhaps he could have looked after the little white tiger.

Even though everyone had made their decisions, the little lion, obediently nestled in Teacher Bai’s arms and sniffling, suddenly became unhappy.

It poked its head out from Teacher Bai’s embrace, glared at Huo Ranchuan, and said in a childish voice, “Hengye, I protect!”

As it spoke, it patted its paw firmly on the soft bed, shouting loudly, “Hengye won’t go!”

Hengye had to stay by its side; apart from Teacher Bai, it didn’t trust anyone else with Hengye!

Qin Yuxing had already declared that from now on, Song Hengye and Teacher Bai were under his protection. Anyone who bullied them would be opposing the Qin family!

The little lion had to keep an eye on the little white tiger at all times to feel at ease.

Besides, Mons used to be an instructor—a rough man teaching? Could he take good care of the little ones?

It didn’t matter who agreed; if the little lion disagreed, then Hengye couldn’t leave!

The little lion stood on the bed aggressively, shouting and patting its paws, its fur all puffed up.

The little white tiger lay expressionlessly on Mons’s arm, looking speechlessly at the puffed-up little lion.

Huo Ranchuan stared coldly at the little lion. “Teacher Bai needs rest; he can’t take care of two cubs.”

The little lion, fur still standing on end, rolled on the bed, “Hengye can’t go! Awooo!”

Huo Ranchuan: “…”

Everyone present: “…”

Watching the little lion rolling around, even though it looked sad and angry, the round, fluffy little lion rolling back and forth on the bed was, to be honest, quite amusing.

Bai Nuosi covered his mouth, unable to hold back a couple of laughs. When he looked up, he met Huo Ranchuan’s gaze and felt a bit embarrassed. His ears turned red, and he lowered his head, pretending he hadn’t just been snickering.

Huo Ranchuan wasn’t like the Qin family patriarch; he wouldn’t spoil the little lion.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice cold. “Since you want to be with the little white tiger, fine. Both of you can be under Mons’s care. Anyway, Teacher Bai needs to recover; with you gone, he can rest properly.”

The little lion, who had been rolling around, froze, staring dumbfounded at Huo Ranchuan. After locking eyes for two seconds and realizing Huo Ranchuan wasn’t joking, it quickly scrambled up, leaped into Teacher Bai’s arms, clutched his clothes tightly, closed its eyes, and shouted loudly, “Hengye, goodbye!”

Bai Nuosi: “…”

Little white tiger: “…”

Mons burst into laughter, “Xingxing, aren’t you reluctant to part with the little white tiger? Come with him; I’ll take good care of you both. Don’t worry, there will be plenty of milk bottles.”

The little lion, nestled in Bai Nuosi’s arms, puffed up again and shook its head vigorously, “No, no!”

Compared to Song Hengye, it felt that Teacher Bai was more important!

Little white tiger: “…”

He had seen through this fair-weather friend today!

After visiting Bai Nuosi for a while, everyone soon left.

Mons took the little white tiger back to the Rose Garden Nursery. Huo Ranchuan also had matters to attend to. He left Teng Snake by Bai Nuosi’s side and had Han Baiyi and Chu Jiangting guard the door.

After everyone left, Bai Nuosi’s lunch arrived. He ate with the two little ones. After hesitating for a while, he decided to start a live broadcast.

He had been on the Star Network every day, and over the past two days, countless fans had sent him private messages and comments, asking about his situation, whether he was safe, if he was injured, and so on.

Only then did he realize that his kidnapping had become known to his viewers.

The little lion and the snake baby were eating beside him. Bai Nuosi set out the dishes, then opened his live broadcast.

As soon as his live stream started, millions of viewers flooded in.

He had more fans than he imagined, though he wasn’t fully aware of it.

Bai Nuosi looked a bit pale. Wearing hospital attire, he sat on the hospital bed, smiling as he greeted his viewers. “Hello, everyone. I’m Teacher Bai from the Rose Garden Nursery.”

The live chat was instantly flooded with comments:

[Wuwuwu, darling! You finally started a live stream! We’ve been so worried about you!]

[Thank goodness you’re okay, Teacher Bai. I was so scared when I heard you were kidnapped last night; I couldn’t sleep all night, constantly checking for updates from the Rose Garden Nursery to see if you had returned.]

[Those spreading rumors should take a good look! Saying it was all scripted—last night, even the streets in the central district were affected, and two shops were burned down. Damn those kidnappers!]

[Why did they kidnap Teacher Bai? Could it be because he’s received too much attention from S-level individuals, and some people are anxious?]

[Hmm, I guess it’s because of the golden eagle. The golden eagle has been out of control for so many years, and who had a solution? But as soon as Teacher Bai appeared, the golden eagle suddenly stabilized. So, some people might want to control Teacher Bai!]

…

Comments were all over the place.

Feeling a bit tired, Bai Nuosi selected some questions to answer slowly. “I’m fine, just some minor injuries. Principal Huo and Mr. Golden Eagle saved me; I’m really grateful to them. Without them, who knows where I’d be now.”

He continued, “The little lion was very good; last night’s events weren’t his fault. There are too many bad people in this world, and even more traps set by them. The little lion is still young and hasn’t learned to distinguish between good and bad people.”

Whether it’s the little lion or Qin Yuxing, they’re still young, and over the years, Qin Yuxing has focused on studying and training, without even having friends.

Essentially, he’s very naive, and being deceived isn’t unexpected.

Although many viewers were blaming Qin Yuxing, scolding him for being an inexperienced young master who almost harmed Teacher Bai, Qin Yuxing was actually a simple child—calling it youthful ignorance wouldn’t be wrong.

Regardless of what others thought, Bai Nuosi wouldn’t blame the little lion.

After chatting with the viewers for a while and finishing his meal, he closed the live stream.

He just wanted to show his face and prove he was safe.

He was actually quite tired and wanted to take a nap.

The little lion and the snake baby didn’t want to leave or go out to play. Perhaps after last night’s events, they were also frightened and clung to Bai Nuosi, refusing to leave.

Bai Nuosi had no choice but to hold them, one on each side, gently saying, “Then baby and Xingxing can sleep with Teacher Bai. When Teacher Bai wakes up, I’ll get you some little cakes, okay?”

The little lion nodded obediently, “Okay!”

The snake baby was always well-behaved.

With guards at the door, Bai Nuosi wasn’t worried about the little ones wandering off. Feeling very sleepy, he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

He slept for two hours, and when he opened his eyes, it was already dusk.

He blinked blankly, habitually reaching out beside him. Hmm, the snake baby was still there, but… the little lion was gone?

Bai Nuosi blinked, slowly realizing. He suddenly sat up and asked the snake baby beside him, “Huh? Where’s Xingxing? Where did he go?”

At this moment, the little lion’s voice came from the window. “Teacher, I’m here!”

Bai Nuosi turned his head and saw the little lion stretching out its two chubby paws, clinging to the windowsill and struggling to climb inside.

Beside it was a little white tiger.

The little white tiger had already climbed up easily and was now crouching on the windowsill, coldly watching the little lion struggling to climb.

Bai Nuosi: “…”

Did the little lion, while he was asleep, manage to bring his Hengye over?
