Chapter 76
Bai Nuosi sipped his milk while watching the three little ones sitting in a row, feeling very happy. He loved being with these little cubs.
However, it seemed that the little lion and the little white tiger were closer; the two cubs got along well. Based on the little lion’s earlier reactions, Bai Nuosi guessed that they might know each other.
In that case, the baby snake might feel left out.
After they finished eating, Bai Nuosi wiped their faces and paws clean. “Babies, do you want to go out for a run?”
Keeping them cooped up in the room wasn’t fair to these little ones, especially since they were at an age when they loved to play.
As soon as the little lion heard they were going out, it began to spin in circles excitedly. Clearly, it couldn’t wait.
The little white tiger licked its lips. It had just eaten two small buns, lots of fruit and cookies, and had drunk a bottle of milk. Its belly was now round and full. It didn’t really feel like going out to run; it preferred to curl up on a comfortable sofa and take a nap.
Ever since last night when it had awakened, it hadn’t had a good sleep. Don’t ask why—it was because a certain young master had been wailing in Song Hengye’s hospital room. If he hadn’t been taken away in the middle of the night, he might have cried until dawn.
The little white tiger glanced at the energetic little lion, wondering where it got all that energy.
With such vigor, yet unwilling to train properly—it was a waste.
The little white tiger sat solemnly on the chair. While Bai Nuosi was washing the bottles, Teng Snake quietly slithered onto his body, coiling around his shoulder and staying still.
Teng Snake was feeling a sense of crisis now. Looking at the two fluffy ones, one active and one quiet, it thought helplessly that there were so many S-level awakenings this year. If only there were a couple fewer, Teacher Bai would be all his.
The little white tiger sat on the chair, silently watching the little lion frolicking around, then glanced at the little black snake that had silently climbed onto Teacher Bai and coiled around him, its eyes showing a hint of exasperation.
Judging by Teng Snake’s behavior, it seemed to think that the little lion and the little white tiger would compete with it for Teacher Bai. Hmph, did it think he was that kind of tiger?
After washing the bottles, Bai Nuosi sterilized them. Once done, he held Teng Snake and came over. He opened the window and saw that the sun was already setting in the west; it would soon be dusk.
It seemed he had indeed taken a long afternoon nap today.
He stood by the bed for a moment, seeing the western sky filled with orange-red sunset clouds. Birds flew across the sky in flocks—a rare sight on an autumn evening.
Holding the baby snake, Bai Nuosi turned around and said to the little lion and the little white tiger, “The sunset clouds in the west are beautiful. Let’s go to the garden to have a look.”
The little lion could hardly wait; it turned around and happily trotted after Teacher Bai. After a few steps, it looked back at the little white tiger, urging it with its eyes to hurry up.
The little white tiger: “…”
The little white tiger remained silent for two seconds, then slowly jumped down from the chair and followed behind Teacher Bai.
When Bai Nuosi stepped out with the three little ones, Han Baiyi and Chu Jiangting were still guarding his door. As soon as he came out, he recognized them.
He remembered that Chu Jiangting was the family member of the little panda, Qiu Qiu.
Bai Nuosi said happily, “Oh, it’s you two. Thank you for your hard work today.”
Chu Jiangting’s face immediately turned red, and he shook his head. “It’s not hard work. Protecting Teacher Bai is our duty.”
It was also what they had always wanted to do; Teacher Bai didn’t need to thank them.
Han Baiyi asked, “Teacher Bai, are you going out?”
Bai Nuosi hesitated a bit. “I want to take the little ones for a walk in the garden. Is that okay?”
Not sure how Principal Huo had arranged things, Bai Nuosi added, “Would that make things difficult for you?”
Teacher Bai always thought of others first. Looking at him, Han Baiyi said gently, “Of course you can. Teacher Bai, you can go anywhere you like; just let us know.”
Chu Jiangting quickly added, “Yes, wherever Teacher Bai goes, we’ll follow.”
As long as they could be with Teacher Bai, his panda spiritual beast would be happy. Right now, Qiuqiu had been restless in Chu Jiangting’s spiritual sea for a long time, eager to come out and see Teacher Bai.
However, no matter how much it fussed, Chu Jiangting had firmly suppressed it.
In the current situation, it wasn’t appropriate for Qiuqiu, as a spiritual beast, to appear. Besides, the panda cub had already grown into a big ball; it might scare Teacher Bai.
Hearing this, Bai Nuosi felt a bit embarrassed. “So if I go to the garden, you have to follow?”
He meant that he was just taking the little ones out to see the sunset, but having two young guards in uniform following him—wouldn’t that be a bit strange?
Moreover, it was too much trouble for them.
But since Han Baiyi and Chu Jiangting insisted on following, Bai Nuosi could only let them.
They were worried about Teacher Bai going out. After the previous kidnapping incident, everyone was very concerned.
Since someone had already targeted Teacher Bai, they wouldn’t leave his side in the future!
Wherever Teacher Bai went, they would follow!
Bai Nuosi led the little ones to sit on a bench in the garden. The scenery in the hospital garden was quite beautiful. Not far in front of the bench was a small lake, and in the distance, the sky was filled with brilliant sunset clouds.
Holding the baby snake in his arms, with the little lion and the little white tiger lying at his feet, Bai Nuosi pointed to the distant sunset and said to the little ones, “Look, isn’t the sunset beautiful?”
The three little ones looked seriously at the sunset. Teng Snake had often carried out missions with Huo Ranchuan, spending much time on backward, desolate planets. It hadn’t seen sunsets many times, though it had seen auroras a few times. Experiences like sitting peacefully in a garden, doing nothing but enjoying the breeze and the scenery, were extremely rare.
Not only had Teng Snake not had such experiences, but neither had the little lion, the little white tiger, Han Baiyi, or Chu Jiangting.
Although they came from different backgrounds and had different experiences, the expectations placed upon them were the same.
They had trained from a young age, not daring to slack off for a moment. Sitting in a garden watching the sunset, doing nothing—it was something they didn’t even dare to dream of.
Bai Nuosi loved taking the little ones out to enjoy the scenery—watching the rain in spring, the stars in summer, the sunset in autumn, and the snow in winter. Although the climate on the Beastman planet was different from his home planet, the beautiful landscapes were similar.
He sat with the little ones, quietly watching the sunset for a while, then took them back to the room to give them baths.
Supervisor Mons still hadn’t come to pick up the little white tiger, so Bai Nuosi put the little lion and the little white tiger in a big basin. The little lion happily splashed in the water, getting the little white tiger’s head and face all wet. As it splashed, it excitedly shouted, “Hanye, Hanye, Hanye swimming!”
The little white tiger: “…”
Unable to bear it any longer, the little white tiger, face serious, pressed a paw on the little lion’s back. The little lion was immediately pinned down. No matter how much it flailed its four paws, it couldn’t escape the little white tiger’s grasp!
The little lion cried out angrily, “Hanye! Hanye, big bad guy!”
The little white tiger remained expressionless. No matter how the little lion howled, it kept pressing down on the little lion without the slightest intention of letting go. Only when Teacher Bai came over did it slowly retract its paw.
The little lion, feeling aggrieved, slapped the water hard, splashing water all over itself. With tears in its eyes, it looked at the little white tiger. “Hanye, big bad guy!”
The little white tiger wiped the water from its face with a paw, glanced at the pitiful little lion, and after two seconds of silence, suddenly splashed a pawful of water onto the little lion’s face, leaving it stunned. The little lion: “…”
Realizing what had happened, the little lion went wild in the basin. “Awooo!”
After wrapping the baby snake in a towel and placing it on the bed, Bai Nuosi came over to bathe the two fluffy ones.
Holding a small brush, he entered the bathroom and saw water all over the floor. The little lion was rolling and thrashing in the basin, and the water had almost been splashed out completely. The little white tiger was soaked but remained silent, obediently crouching in the corner.
Bai Nuosi: “…”
He sighed. “Xingxing, stop messing around. If you keep this up, there won’t be any bathwater left.”
Upon hearing Teacher Bai’s voice, the little lion finally sat up obediently. While it had been rolling in the basin, it hadn’t noticed that it had splashed out most of the water…
The little lion: “…”
Feeling guilty.
Bai Nuosi, holding the soft little brush and the special fluffy bath gel, came over. He turned on the faucet to refill the basin with water, then said to the two fluffies, “Xingxing, Hanye, stand up and turn around. Yes, that’s right, bottoms facing Teacher. Teacher is going to scrub your backs.”
Bai Nuosi found it quite fun to wash the fluffies on an assembly line, so he opened his live broadcast.
After the basin was filled, he turned off the faucet and said to the viewers in the live room, “Hello, everyone. I’m Teacher Bai from the Rose Garden Nursery. Today’s sudden live broadcast is to show you the fluffies taking a bath.”
The viewers in the live room were extremely excited:
[Wow! An unexpected live broadcast at this hour! And we get to watch the little ones bathe! So excited!]
[So today’s content is an assembly line of fluffies taking a bath!]
[Folks, what does it take to become one of Teacher Bai’s little ones and be cuddled by him every day? Can I retake the military academy entrance exam ten years after graduation?]
[Actually, you don’t have to go through the trouble of entering the military academy. You could spend a fortune to hire Teacher Bai privately and have him bathe you every day!]
[That’s so inappropriate. Reported!]
*
Bai Nuosi had the two fluffies stand side by side, first scrubbing the little lion’s back, then the little white tiger’s. Then he had them lie down together to scrub their little bellies. The two cubs moved in sync, and Teacher Bai didn’t play favorites. He scrubbed this one four times, and that one four times as well. He massaged one set of paws and made sure to massage the other’s paws too.
The little lion was in bliss, almost fainting from happiness. Teacher Bai’s bathing technique was just too comfortable!
As for the little white tiger, it lay there like a limp fish, being flipped back and forth by Teacher Bai, its face showing a resigned expression.
It looked at the live-streaming camera, feeling a mix of anger and helplessness.
When Qin Yuxing had persuaded him to come, he hadn’t mentioned that even bathing would be live-streamed!
