The teacher's expression froze for a moment. He carried the overweight cub, coldly and ruthlessly breaking his perception of himself as "soft".
"You are not chubby, you are fat. Where is your class teacher?"
When the physical test teacher asked, the young teacher Lily stepped forward. She stretched out her hand and prepared to take the little cub back to the class: "Ning is a friend of our class. He is a very obedient and great little cub."
Teacher Lily's praise did not make the physical examination teacher feel pity for the little fat boy. The physical examination teacher had a stern face. When handing the little fat boy over, he snorted coldly and said, "Within a week, let this little cub return to normal weight."
Teacher Lily: “…”
Teacher Lily looked entangled: "You can't lose weight in a week. When I lose weight, it takes at least a month."
The physical examination teacher said: "That's one month. If he dares to break my scale again next month, I will ask him to invite his parents."
Teacher Lily's expression became more complicated.
She knew that the little fat boy in their class was sent here by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Not many people knew about this, and the physical examination teacher in front of her was obviously unaware of it.
If the parents are really invited, it is likely to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Majesty the Emperor.
Last time on the stage, the Emperor bent down and took Ningzai away. Everyone else thought that the Emperor was rewarding the little cub. Only Teacher Lily could see at a glance that the Emperor's intimacy with Ningzai was obviously a sign of love.
The fat boy, whose weight was discussed by two teachers in turn, hung his head in frustration at some point.
He sniffed, and his little voice was filled with grievance: "Teacher Lily, is the baby fat?"
Teacher Lily: “…”
Teacher Lily looked embarrassed. She worked here because she truly loved the cubs. She was caring towards the cubs most of the time, and would only be strict with them if they were too naughty.
But the little fat kid in front of him was not naughty at all. Not only that, but his drooping face looked so pitiful.
Teacher Lily was speechless. The physical examination teacher who had the scale broken looked down at the little cub and said, "You broke the scale. Tell me, are you fat or not?"
The little fat boy looked at the broken scale and burst into tears: "Baby, fat boy."
Seeing that he had finally corrected his mistakes and taken them seriously, the physical test teacher nodded with satisfaction and said, "In the following kindergarten life, you should exercise more, especially the cub mecha class, which will be helpful for you to lose weight."
As the physical examination teacher said this, he asked someone to send a new scale, because the previous scale was obviously not suitable for this little fat boy.
The person in charge of finding the scale spent half a day searching, but only found an antique scale in the corner of the kitchen. This scale was said to be the first scale used for weighing in ancient times. A weight was placed on one end of the scale, and the object to be weighed was hung on the other end.
The physical examination teacher really knows how to use this antique scale. He put the weight on the scale skillfully, and then hung the fat boy on the other end.
"alright."
After the weighing was over, the little fat boy was taken into Teacher Lily's arms again.
Because the weighing process was so slow, many children noticed the situation. In the Green Grass class led by Teacher Lili, all the other children knew that Ningzi was overweight.
The Green Grass Class is the last class in the kindergarten. Although it is at the bottom, the children in this class are generally younger and more friendly.
Huo Lin personally picked this class for Ningzai.
Teacher Lily held the overweight cub in her arms and coaxed it gently. After she was done coaxing it, she placed the cub among the other children.
"Ningzi, play with the other kids for a while. Once all the kids have finished weighing, we can go back to class."
Teacher Lily said this, rubbed his head, and then walked to the front to look at the other children.
Ning Zai, who was placed among the other children, was still dejected. Just as he lowered his head and looked at the small leather shoes on his feet, a small hand reached out to him.
"Ningzi, this is for you."
A kid with pigtails handed over a beautiful candy wrapper: "This is my favorite candy wrapper. I give it to you."
The braided kid took the lead, and other kids also gave gifts to the depressed Ningzai. Some kids said unscrupulously: "I don't think Ningzai is fat at all. The teacher must have made a mistake in the test."
This child's words made the children who wanted to agree with him feel a little conflicted. After all, Teacher Lily said that children should not lie.
There are teachers taking care of the kids in the kindergarten. Huo Lin, who is in the school building next door, knows that the teachers will be very responsible and will at least not let the kids be bullied.
But even though he knew it intellectually, Huo Lin couldn't help but feel worried emotionally.
His seat was a private one, with no one sitting with him. Seeing his tense face, the other students in the class also became tense.
Small notes began to circulate quietly.
"What's wrong with him? Is his mental power going out of control?"
"I think he just wants to lose his temper. We need to stay away from him."
"I heard that he put two of his classmates in the hospital last time. That's scary. Will he beat us?"
"If he really hits us, we can't beat him."
The little note was passed around, but it avoided Huo Lin.
Huo Lin didn't care, he was just waiting for school to end. When school was over, he would be able to see the little boy who had been in class alone for the whole morning.
The classes in the school were still going on, but in the palace, Zhan Xi's conversation with Ludwig was not going very smoothly.
Even though Ludwig had already pointed it out very bluntly: "Ningzi can treat mental problems. When did you know about this?"
Zhan Xi didn’t know how his cub was exposed, but he only bit one thing to death: “Your Majesty, Ning cub is just a little cub, how could he possibly heal his mental power?”
Zhan Xi refused to admit it, and Ludwig sat down in front of him. "Your mental power was disturbed, and Ningzi calmed your mental power in front of me."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you misunderstood. It wasn't Ningzai who calmed my mental power. It was me who was conscious and adjusted myself—"
"Marshal Tang En also saw it."
Ludwig's words suddenly stopped Zhan Xi's explanation. He clenched the sheets under him, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
He was naturally familiar with Marshal Tang En of the Federation. He had heard before that this gentleman's mental power often had problems, and he could no longer find a way to treat it, so he could only wait to die.
If the other party also saw it...
Ningzai will become very dangerous.
At this moment, the strongest thought in Zhan Xi's mind was to take Ningzi away. He couldn't trust Ludwig or anyone else.
Ludwig seemed to have read his mind: "I advise you not to think about taking Ningzi away. He is safest here."
"There is no shortage of mentally unstable lunatics outside the empire. Without my protection, you and Ningzi will be eaten to pieces."
Ludwig's words were not an exaggeration.
Tang Enneng did not choose to kidnap Ning Zai after meeting him, but it was not out of mercy. No one who could sit on the position of marshal could be soft-hearted and kind.
Tang En gave up Ning Zai because of Ludwig.
Zhan Xi listened to Ludwig's words and clenched his fists tightly. He knew that Ludwig was telling the truth, but he didn't dare to believe him.
The atmosphere was in a silent stalemate.
Ludwig sat in front of Zhan Xi, his expression not showing a trace of impetuousness, because he knew what answer Zhan Xi would give him in the end.
really.
A few minutes later, Zhan Xi closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had already made a decision: "Your Majesty, Ning cub is still very young. Please protect him."
Ludwig said calmly: "I will."
With Ludwig's assurance, Zhan Xi finally told Ludwig about his cub's situation. He started from the first spaceship, then the outbreak of the Zerg on the barren planet, and even the members of the Poison Spider he met a few days ago. He told Ludwig everything.
Ludwig listened to everything he said quietly.
"Ningzi can't use his healing ability too often, otherwise, something bad will happen to his body."
"Your Majesty, I cannot do such a great thing as exchanging the safety of my own child for the safety of others. Now I just hope you can keep the secret for us. I want Ningzi to grow up safely like an ordinary child."
"I promise you."
Now, thanks to the relationship with the royal family, Zhan Xi has the legal status to live here. Since he can move in, he naturally cannot bring his children with him and eat, drink and live in the palace like two royal parasites.
This time Ludwig was silent for a moment, but finally nodded.
His nod brought a smile to Zhan Xi's handsome face.
After saying all this, Ludwig said, "I will send my confidant to investigate the spaceship that Ningzi was on. If there is any news, I will let you know."
"good."
Zhan Xi said he was going to move out of the palace, so he would naturally choose a place to live next. When Ai Wei learned that he was going to take Ningzi away, she felt very reluctant.
She tried to persuade him, but failed.
Zhan Xi is not the type of person who would live off others for free. Besides, he has his own selfish motives. He wants to settle down here for a while, and then find a way to bring other people from the deserted planet here.
Seeing this, Ivy had no choice but to compromise and said, "I'll live with you in the house. I heard you want to open a shop. What kind of shop do you want to open?"
Zhan Xi also has plans to open a shop, but he hasn't gone to investigate yet, so he's not sure which business is safer.
Hesitantly, he told me his dream business project: "I want to open a steamed bun shop. I checked the prices on Baiwu Star. Flour is very cheap. I can grow some vegetables myself, so the cost is low. When I sell steamed buns, I can also give them to Ningzi. He likes steamed buns very much."
"Okay, I'll help you find a suitable shop."
Ivy was very efficient, and she quickly looked at several houses for Zhan Xi. Because she was not sure which one Zhan Xi would be interested in, she looked at several houses directly.
These houses, without exception, are very close to the imperial palace.
Zhan Xi had nothing to do except recuperating from his injuries, so he looked at the specific pictures and videos of several houses and then carefully selected one.
Seeing him make his choice, Ivy asked him, "Do you think this is the house you like best?"
Zhan Xi: “…”
Zhan Xi nodded, but in his heart he was thinking that this was the cheapest place.
He didn't have much money, and he had to run a business and raise a kid, so he had to spend money frugally.
Time passes by little by little.
At noon, Ningzai and Wagner lined up at the door waiting for adults to pick them up. The kindergarten's school dismissal time was earlier than the elementary school next door. When Huo Lin came out, the two cubs had already been picked up by Auburn.
The two kids sat side by side in the back seat. Maybe because the seat was a little high, Ning’s little feet couldn’t reach the foot pad after he sat down.
When Ningzai, who loved to stick to his brother the most, saw Huo Lin come in, he was still looking at his leather shoes. He didn't even raise his eyes, let alone call him brother.
Huo Lin felt something was wrong.
He sat over and skillfully picked up the ignoring kid while looking at Wagner and asking, "What's wrong with him?"
Wagner looked at the curly-haired kid with red eyes and said truthfully, "Ning may be a little sad."
Huo Lin: “?”
Huo Lin was stunned: "Why is he sad?"
Could it be that I was bullied on the first day of school
Wagner told Huo Lin what happened in the morning from the beginning: "He broke the scale. When he tested his mental strength, he couldn't get any results at first. Then he tested for a long time and only got a little bit."
"The other kids in the kindergarten laughed at him, saying he was the fattest and the greenest kid in the kindergarten. The kids in our Green Grass class didn't laugh at him, but there were too many people who laughed at him, and I couldn't beat them all."
Huo Lin: “…”
Huo Lin could feel that as Wagner told these things again, the little cub on his lap drooped his head even more.
"Ningzi."
Huo Lin held the little kid in his arms and coaxed him, "They are wrong to laugh at you. Don't be so sad. They don't deserve you to be sad."
Huo Lin coaxed him all the way, and finally, even Wagner said: "Next time I hear someone say you are fat, I will slap his face and make him as fat as you!"
Ning Zai who was comforted: “?”
Something seems to be wrong.
They coaxed him all the way back to the palace, and Ai Wei and Zhan Xi took turns to hold him. The two adults were more experienced in coaxing the baby than the children.
By the time it was time for dinner, the little kid wearing the lunch bag had been completely coaxed.
The little cub held the round spoon in his hand and asked Ivy cautiously before eating: "Auntie, I'm not fat, is it because the scale at the kindergarten is too fragile?"
Ivy nodded without blinking, "Yes, didn't we just measure it? We used the scale at home, and it wasn't heavy at all."
Although Ivy was coaxing the little cub, in fact, when preparing lunch, she privately instructed the chef: "Ning cub was overweight when he was weighed today, and was laughed at by other children in the garden for being fat. The next meal should be slightly less fat, but not too light, otherwise he will not like it."
The head chef and Ningzai had already established a deep relationship unknown to outsiders while cooking and eating.
Hearing that Ning Zai was being laughed at, the chef's face tensed up: "Don't worry, I will definitely make some delicious and weight-loss meals next time!"
At the moment, the little cub who wanted to eat a diet meal asked Ivy and then asked Zhan Xi. Zhan Xi was an old father who doted on his cub. When asked, he ignored his hand that was broken by the cub yesterday and said calmly: "Our cub is not fat at all. I think our cub is not overweight, but overly cute."
After asking his father, the little guy continued to look at Ludwig.
In the eyes of the little bastard, Ludwig would not lie. He looked at Ludwig eagerly, and the little fat on his face fell into Ludwig's eyes, making Ludwig silent for a moment.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the little guy asked his brother next to him to pick him up from the chair.
Wearing a lunch bag, he ran to Ludwig and hugged Ludwig's calf: "Uncle, pick up the kid."
He wanted Ludwig to see if he was heavy.
Ludwig: “…”
Ludwig was glanced at by Ivy.
The next second, he picked up the weight with one hand and said perfunctorily, "Not fat."
The little boy, who was confirmed by the whole family to be not fat, finally sat back in his seat contentedly. He grasped the round spoon and began to scoop up the rice.
Life in kindergarten is naturally not as easy as when we were not in school.
Ningzi tried hard to adapt to the school, and at the same time, Zhanxi's injury was almost healed. After saying goodbye to the people in the palace, he took his son and went to the newly bought house.
The house is not big, with a shop in the front and enough space for the father and son to live in the backyard.
Jian Ning is not picky about where he lives. Whether he lives on a desolate planet or in a magnificent palace, he will feel at ease as long as he can live with his father.
"My dear, when Dad sets up the shop in front, we can start business. Then Dad will make a lot of money and let us live a good life!"
Zhan Xi was planning his future blueprint, and his heart was filled with excitement.
Jane Ning, who was held by her father, suddenly realized a problem in her father's arms: "Dad, are you going to cook for me in the future?"
Zhan Xi kissed his soft little face and replied, "Yes! Dad has read a lot of recipes recently, and I will definitely be able to make a lot of delicious food for you."
Jian Ning: “…”
well.
It’s time to eat the meal cooked by dad again.
The father and son lived together for a few days. At noon that day, Wagner came up with a baby with a bottle of milk hanging around his neck again.
Huo Lin was following behind the little guy.
As soon as he came in, he looked at Ivy and Ludwig. After that, he ran over and sat down on Ivy's feet. He raised his chubby face and said in a pitiful voice, "Auntie, can you give the baby some food?"
Ivy: “???”
