Once people quarreled, they just ignored the gentle manner. Then Father Zhao said, “You spoiled your son too much, so he bullied other children lawlessly,” which poked the heart of the parent on the other side.
The other side immediately sneered and said, “What about you? Your daughter was being bullied to the point of resisting herself, or she felt she would be a victim of bullying for a lifetime. As though you as parents don’t exist in her mind, because in her subconscious you don’t have any ability to protect her at all!”
Father Zhao was like a slap in the face. He didn’t know how to reply for a while, and the other side didn’t reply either.
Fortunately, at this moment, they had arrived at the gate of their house community. He turned around and found that his daughter in the back seat had fallen asleep with her head lowered. The original tied braids had become scattered because of the fight. Her curly hair was very soft.
Father Zhao’s heart softened. He unfastened his seat belt. While hugging his daughter, he called her, “Xixi, we are home.”
Little Xixi opened her eyes in a daze, stretched out her hand, and muttered, “Dad, get dressed. I’m going to school.”
She fell asleep and thought it was morning, so she babbled to get dressed and go to school.
Father Zhao: “We just got home from school.”
Little Xixi understood, then closed her eyes and said, “Ah, then I can sleep for a while.” She was really sleepy.
So Father Zhao smiled, bent down, and picked up Zhao Xixi, who couldn’t open her eyes, then walked towards home.
Little Xixi is really sleepy. She didn’t eat enough at noon today and even fought with others. She also cried a lot after the fight. It was all physical work.
So after Father Zhao picked her up, she immediately hugged her father’s neck limply on his shoulders and continued to sleep.
Father Zhao felt his daughter was so cute when she relied on him. Then he thought of what the other parent said. Although he was decisive during the quarrel, he still felt a bit loose in his heart.
Father Zhao patted his daughter on the back lightly. “Baby, do you... do you think Mom and Dad can protect you?” During the quarrel just now, he poked at the other party’s heart, but the other party also poked his heart.
Little Xixi’s eyes were sleepy, and she pressed her little face against her father’s shoulder, then she turned her face. Father Zhao said it once again, and then Little Xixi understood. Her little milky voice said with sleepiness, “It’s okay. Now I’m getting stronger and stronger. I will protect my parents in the future.”
Mom and Dad are timid, afraid of everything—adult monsters, little monsters, red hands, green hands, and white hands—so it’s okay; who made them were her parents.
Father Zhao was surprised for a moment.
Little Xixi hadn’t fully woken up yet. It was getting dark, so she thought her father was afraid of monsters. Therefore, her little chubby hand patted her father’s shoulder and said, a bit inarticulately, “Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid. There won’t be monsters coming; there will be no red hands, green hands, or white hands as well. I will protect you.”
Father Zhao felt something hit his head; his nose was sore. He suddenly understood what the little boy’s mother said: “You didn’t give her any sense of security. So in her view, when she was being bullied, either she had to fight back by herself or be a victim of bullying for the rest of her life!”
If you are a teenager, this is a valuable life experience, but this is a three-year-old child. There are countless tears behind the resistance, and this experience can only be called the shadow of childhood.
They never thought about how terrified their daughter was when facing this unknown world alone.
Father Zhao hugged his daughter, and for a moment, he felt a pang of guilt in his heart.
Once, they said that everything they did was to provide a better environment for their children.
Work hard to earn money for her to have no worries about food and clothing and not be compared with other children of the same age.
Opposing monsters entering society is to prevent her from becoming a low-level human being in the future.
At the very beginning, when his pregnant wife had a big belly, he touched his wife’s belly, and what he promised was actually just one sentence: “Baby, welcome to this world. Daddy will always protect you.”
How did you feel at that moment?
When they arrived at home, Little Xixi was still sleeping on her father’s shoulder. Mother Zhao opened the door and saw her husband in tears. She was stunned for a moment.
“What’s the matter?” Mother Zhao was very nervous. She had never seen her husband cry.
Father Zhao looked at Mother Zhao’s protruding belly and remembered that she had been emotionally unstable recently. So he didn’t tell her about this matter.
When eating dinner, Little Xixi bowed her head to eat very obediently. Father Zhao thought of his daughter, who used to chatter non-stop, and felt a bit uncomfortable. He asked, “Is there anything you want to tell Mom and Dad today, baby?”
Little Xixi shook her head and said, “Daddy, you know what happened today, so Dad just tells mom.”
It’s not that Little Xixi wants to stop talking; It's because her father said that her mother was going to have a younger brother, and she had to be quiet and not disturb her mother. Also, her mother said that she had a headache every time she listened to her chatter. Therefore, Little Xixi held back what she really wanted to say.
***
And the next day at school, Little Xixi especially wanted to share her joy with Tiger Cub. She said happily, “I’m so powerful! Just like you, I rushed over and bit him!”
“Then they came and surrounded me with several adults!”
“I’m not afraid at all!”
When Little Xixi said that she was not afraid at all, she was still a bit guilty, and her small eyes glanced left and right.
The tiger cub watched the whole thing yesterday, so he didn’t know that what Little Xixi said was to omit the part that made her feel ashamed.
After that, Little Xixi immediately said, “Tiger Cub, can you accompany me to the bathroom?”
Tiger Cub: “...” Can I not accompany you?
The tiger cub accompanied Little Xixi to the bathroom, and when they came back, it was another space manipulation class.
It’s the lesson about drawing the aperture circle.
In the entire class, only Little Xixi had not drawn the circle yet.
But Little Xixi was still trying to draw circles. The teacher who taught the class was watching, and she felt a bit of an urge to tell Little Xixi directly that human cubs cannot draw circles.
But the problem is, if you really tell this human cub, then a problem will appear and their teaching will lose its meaning. Because the people above just want to put human cubs and monster cubs learning together to see if any miracles can happen.
The teacher looked at the human cub. She was drawing seriously, but there was nothing in front of her. The teacher had also never heard of human beings sensing attributes since ancient times.
The teacher withdraws her thoughts and still has to teach the students. “Students whose attribute is plants can engage in careers related to gardening in the future.”
“Students whose attribute is lightning can try to work in an electric department or do special work in the future.”
“There are three grades of Levels, the most common being white, then green, and finally orange.”
While listening to the teacher, Little Xixi stretched out her chubby hand, continued to make half a circle, and closed her eyes.
Then she heard the teacher say, “Actually, there’s another level in the legend. No one has ever had it nowadays. If there is a red level, it means that we can change the world with our thinking.”
The teacher continued to explain: “There is a saying that originally there was only one monster in this world, and that monster level was red. That lonely monster wanted to have other monsters, and then other monsters appeared.”
Little Xixi: “...” Great! She wants red!
When the teacher came to Little Xixi's table again, she heard her muttering: “Red... Red... Red...”
The teacher bent down and touched the human cub’s head: “Why does Little Xixi want red so much?”
“Because if I am red, I can fulfill my wish!” said Little Xixi.
She has always wanted to find Princess Lan, and she wanted Princess Lan to fulfill her wish.
The teacher couldn’t help asking, “What is your wish?” She really wanted to know what this human cub was thinking.
Little Xixi said seriously: “Become a princess, wear beautiful clothes, and live with the tiger cub in a house that is half candy house and half meat.”
The tiger cub next to Little Xixi glanced at her when she mentioned his name. Then he saw the human cub blinking at him excitedly. The little tiger turned his head and continued to sleep.
He has a very important thing to do today, so save his energy.
At noon, Zhao Xixi took two bites of the apple, then touched her chubby face and sighed like an adult, “Hey... This kid eats so badly that she’s got skinny.”
Little Xixi learned this from her grandma. Back then, when she was about two years old or a bit older, Little Xixi lived at her grandma’s house. In those days, grandma often said that the puppy she picked up was skinny.
So Little Xixi followed suit and said that she got skinny.
The little tiger next to him had just finished eating the meat, and when he came back, he heard these words from the human cub.
He couldn’t help looking at the human cub’s white and tender face. The little tiger suspected that even if he took a bite, perhaps he could not bite the bone.
Little Xixi held the apple in both hands, gnawed two bites, and looked at the little tiger next to her, then said, “Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub, have I lost a lot of weight?”
She showed her fleshy little wrist while she spoke.
The little tiger originally wanted to say that you are still fat. But he remembered the fact that other human cubs had ridiculed this human cub for growing fat, so he said, “Yeah.”
The little tiger felt that some of the other human cubs also looked a little fatter, but they were not pleasing to the eyes at all. However, the chubby Little Xixi looked very comfortable, and this chubby one was also so pretty.
Even if the tiger cub only answers one word, it is enough for Little Xixi to be happy.
Don’t look at her "worried face" lamenting that she has gotten "skinny". In fact, she is just imitating adults. She is only over three years old. Even though she is a bit chubby, she is still a beautiful little girl. When she heard people say that she was good-looking or cute, she smiled until there was only a slit left in her eyes.
However, just when Zhao Xixi wanted to talk about losing weight in depth, she found that the tiger cub jumped off the table, walked straight outside, and went out.
It was supposed to be nap time.
Zhao Xixi immediately followed and chased the tiger cub.
“Tiger Cub, where are you going?”
“Tiger Cub, do you want to go to the bathroom?”
“Tiger Cub, the toilet is not in this direction.”
The little tiger didn’t want the human cub to follow, so he turned his head. His fluffy head was very serious, and then he said, “I’m going to catch a child to eat.”
Little Xixi blinked her eyes and laughed like a silver bell, then said, “You don’t know how to eat children.”
Little Xixi is not illiterate. She is also a person who attended the anti-monster conference meeting. When the host introduced the tiger monster, he said that the little tiger monsters needed to drink milk when they were young. If they were older, they could only eat cut meat. Nowadays, none have hunting ability.
Little Xixi followed the little monster, looked at his fluffy round ears, and whispered, “Can I go out with you?”
Before the little tiger could speak, Little Xixi thought about it and then hurriedly said, “If you take me out to play, I’ll tell you what I learned in class yesterday.”
The tiger cub was not interested.
Little Xixi still followed out, walked beside the tiger cub, and whispered, “Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub, do you want to know what kind of tiger you are?”
The tiger cub’s fluffy little round ears moved, but he still said, “I don’t want to.”
“Think about it. You are a very powerful Siberian tiger.”
“Even when you grow up, you won’t be afraid of the cold when it snows heavily,” added Little Xixi.
The tiger cub lowered his eyelids and looked at his paws. Is he really a Siberian tiger?
As long as the little tiger can remember, his parents left him nothing except for the two missing teeth and the shameful mixed-race tiger genes.
When he was young, he had come into contact with other monsters more than once. They thought he couldn’t understand, so they said many things directly in front of his face. How could he not understand?
For example, he is a mixed-race tiger. A mixed race like him may not be able to change his form to become human when he comes of age as an adult. And if he cannot change into human form, what awaits him is being locked in a cage in the zoo.
So even if the adult monsters come, none of them will think of adopting him.
Now the human cub says that he is a Siberian tiger, and he is an all-powerful Siberian tiger. The little tiger thinks what the human cub said should be true.
Because the little tiger thought he was obviously stronger than ordinary monsters, how could he be a waste like those monsters said?
Little Xixi continued to say, “You, as a Siberian tiger, are amazing! They say that when you become an adult, you can crush a kitchen knife in one bite!”
Little Xixi asked with a doubt, “Tiger Cub, can you bite the kitchen knife? Last night, I went to the kitchen and bit the kitchen knife. It was cold and hard. It didn’t taste good at all!”
The little tiger flicked his tail and walked beside the human cub. Hearing what the human cub said, he raised his head, like a proper king of beasts, and said proudly, “I can bite it into two pieces!”
Little Xixi heard what her little friend said, so she asked a question from her soul: “After you bite it into pieces, do you want to eat it? If you swallow it, will you have diarrhea?”
Little Xixi added: “The kitchen knife is so cold; my mother said that eating cold things will cause diarrhea.”
The little tiger raised his head and said proudly, “I never have diarrhea.”
While talking, the little tiger and the little human had already arrived at the school's gate.
But there was something strange. Little Xixi looked around and said, “The door is gone.”
Unexpectedly, the school gate of the Kindergarten had disappeared, and it turned into a wall. Obviously, there is only one way from the classroom to the school gate, so there is no wrong way.
Little Xixi was sticking to the wall, wanting to see what was going on outside. Then she heard the voice of a tiger cub next to her.
“I’m out,” said the tiger cub.
Little Xixi immediately walked to the little tiger and said, “What are you going out for? I also want to go out with you.”
The little tiger looked at the human cub, then went through the wall and left.
Little Xixi was stunned watching this scene. The tiger cub got into the wall! It’s amazing!
Little Xixi carefully knocked on the wall with her small head. It hurts!
After the little tiger came out, he ran away, then got into the bushes and dragged out a white plastic bag from it. After that, he dragged that bag and ran in another direction.
It’s the beginning of the school season, and this community is next to several universities, so many students rent houses in it.
And during the school season, they have to move back to school, so naturally, they have to throw a lot of things. Last night, the little tiger already knew which houses were going to move.
The little tiger dragged the white plastic bag, and when he got to the neighborhood community, he saw a lot of piles of waste.
The little tiger ran over, but before reaching the trash pile, a big dog baring its teeth rushed out in front of him.
Its face is fierce, and the fangs are terrifying. It’s extremely vicious. This is a mixed-breed husky. During the city's animal control inspection, the owner of this dog released him.
Since then, this dog has been wandering around the city. The security guards, the residents, and the animal control service failed to kill the big dog.
The little tiger is not as big as the big dog, but they have always been in a state of well water, not violating river water. They mind their own business and do not interfere with each other.
The little tiger didn’t expect the dog to enter this community. He squinted his eyes and was about to pounce on it, but then he heard a voice—“Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub! I’m out too! I’m out of the wall too!”
The little tiger didn’t look back and snapped, “Don’t come over!”
He was very uncomfortable—extremely uncomfortable!
The little tiger was not afraid of this big dog, who had a bad reputation, because he was sure he would not die.
But a human cub is different. This dog can precisely kill a human cub with just one bite.
Little Xixi had already seen the big dog opposite the tiger cub, and her eyes lit up suddenly. Little Xixi had a puppy at home before. She brought that little dog from her grandma’s house. Later, the dog fell ill, so Mom took the puppy to the doctor.
Little Xixi asked as she walked, “Tiger Cub, is this your friend?”
The little tiger was so angry that he wanted to bite the human cub himself. But at this moment, the big dog had rushed over, so the little tiger felt scared for the first time. Without turning his head, he yelled at Zhao Xixi: “Get out of here! I won’t be friends with you if you take one step further!”
Little Xixi froze for a moment and stood still, not daring to move, until she saw the dog biting the tiger cub on the neck and began to bleed!
Only then did Little Xixi realize that this fight differed from the fight between the tiger cub and the lion cub!
Little Xixi looked left and right anxiously, then rushed up and hugged the big dog with her arms while shouting, “Bad dog! Bad dog! Don’t bite the tiger cub! Don’t bite the tiger cub!”
The big dog was stunned for a moment, then let go of the little tiger. After that, it turned around and bumped into the Little Xixi. It whimpered twice. Its wolf-like eyes were full of sorrow. It stood there watching for a while and then ran away!
The little tiger was stunned for a moment and saw Zhao Xixi’s usual reaction when she fell down. While running clumsily, she said in a childish voice, “It didn’t hurt.”
She had dressed thickly, so she probably didn’t hurt from the fall, but the little tiger looked at the back of the big dog and felt very puzzled. He remembered that at first the big dog didn’t stop biting him, so why did it suddenly change its nature?
But Little Xixi had already come to look at his neck and said, “You’re bleeding!”
“It’s okay.” The little tiger didn’t think it was a big deal.
Zhao Xixi leaned closer and blew, then whispered, “It must be painful.”
The little tiger looked at the human cub, seeing that she was feeling sorry for his wound, completely unaware of what had happened just now. The little tiger was so angry. He had just minor injuries, but did the human cub know that if that mad dog actually bit her, he wasn’t sure if she could stand here? The little tiger was restless and couldn’t help becoming fierce, saying, “I told you to run. Why don’t you run?”
Little Xixi was stunned for a moment. Her big, watery eyes were filled with tears. She lowered her head to look at the little tiger and said stubbornly, “You... Do you despise me too?”
The little eyes stared at the little tiger. Then Tiger Cub sighed, “...No.”
“But, but you said, you said that if I take one step further, you won’t be my friend anymore. I want to help you. You must be the same as those former classmates and their parents. You think I’m too fat and can only cry and can’t do anything well.”
Tiger Cub: “We are still friends. Don’t cry.”
Little Xixi wiped her tears while crying, “I won’t cry anymore...”
Then she revived with full blood, blew on the little tiger's wound, and said, “We need to rub the medicine...”
The little tiger stood up, went to the faucet, and flushed the blood with tap water. Then he took the white bag in his mouth to the discarded waste things and said to Zhao Xixi, “I still have something to do. You go back first. You still have class in the afternoon.”
Little Xixi ran over immediately and picked up the white plastic bag with her hand. She wiped away the wet tears from her face and became excited. “Are we going to look for things like before again?”
Little Tiger originally wanted to let her go back, but Little Xixi had already started looking for something.
“This! This! Tiger Cub, look at this! This is an electric wire! We can sell it for money!” Little Xixi shouted while holding a broken desk lamp, and there was a long wire under the desk lamp.
It's completely impossible to tell if this child was crying while saying that nobody likes her just a moment ago.
The tiger cub has gotten used to Little Xixi's rapidly changing emotions.
He jumped in too and pawed at it.
Suddenly, he caught something, and he felt itchy in his heart, so he couldn't help scratching twice more. The prickly tiger cub felt very comfortable.
And at this moment, he finally dug the thing out and saw a cat scratching post.
The tiger cub glanced twice and wanted to move his claws, but held back and continued to look for other needed things.
The little Xixi next to him couldn't stop for a moment.
She said excitedly, “Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub, what do you think this is? Look at it!”
The tiger cub looked up and saw Little Xixi holding an alarm clock in the shape of a small bee in her hand.
It ought to be broken; otherwise, the owner wouldn't have thrown it away.
“I'll take this too.”
“Tiger Cub, look at Princess Barbie!”
Take it too…
Tiger Cub: “...”
Not only that, this human cub also found a can of goat's milk powder and two electric mice.
As long as you press the switch, the electric mouse will run around, which is very fun for human cubs.
The tiger cub withdrew his gaze. Originally, he was only planning to pack the things he picked up. But when he came out, he saw the appearance of the human cub, and he was speechless for a while.
When Little Xixi saw the tiger cub preparing to pack these things with the bag in his mouth, she immediately took the white bag with her chubby hands. Then she said, “I’ll do it!”
“I'm very useful!”
The human cub put all the things they picked up into the bag with a puff, and then pulled the bag, like a boat tracker, and walked forward step by step with difficulty.
The little tiger was about to pick it up. So far, he had always collected things by himself and then dragged the bag to where he lived with his mouth.
However, before he got close to the bag, Little Xixi stopped him and said, “You don't need to use force. Your neck has been injured.”
Little tiger: “What kind of injury is this?”
While speaking, he picked up the bag with his mouth and dragged it up easily.
Little Xixi followed behind and helped lift the bag to make it easier for the little tiger in front to drag it.
Seeing the little tiger bite the bag with his teeth and drag it forward, Zhao Xixi suddenly realized that the little tiger had lost two teeth. Maybe it wasn’t because he was gnawing on the bones, but he might have lost them while dragging the bag.
The little tiger's home is in the basement of the innermost building. There is an abandoned room in it, which is the owner's room on the first floor, but the owner has not returned to this community for a long time.
He shouldn't have brought the human cub to his house. The little tiger just remembered this after he brought her home.
Even though it was daytime, the abandoned room was still dark. In one corner, there were piles of things that the tiger cub had picked up from outside. He could sell these things for money, and in the other corner were some dead leaves, where the cub slept at night.
When Little Xixi came in, she was dumbfounded.
Although the tiger cub has not fully entered human society, he knows everything that he should know.
So, the tiger cub thought that this human cub should think he was a stray cub and feel ashamed of him.
His eyes darkened, but then he saw the human cub jumping up and shouting excitedly: “Tiger Cub! Can I come to your house to play again in the future? I like your house so much!”
The human cub couldn't help but go to a corner and look at the high pile of wires and the plastic bottles next to it. Her eyes were shining like a little money fan, and she excitedly said, “There's a lot of money here!”
Tiger Cub: “...”
Little Xixi thinks that Tiger Cub is really rich! So rich! Very rich!
Tiger Cub: “...”
Little Xixi also rolled around in the nest of dead leaves next to her. Hearing the creaking of dead leaves, she poked her head out of the nest excitedly: “Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub, is this your bed? I want to have a bed like this too in the future!”
The tiger cub's tiger stripes had distorted, and he couldn't believe why this human cub was so... stupid.
The little tiger didn't understand why such a stupid human cub wanted to rush over and roll with him.
At night, the little tiger slept in the dead leaf nest by himself and couldn't help rolling. However, it didn't seem to be as fun as when he and the human cub rolled together during the day.
The little tiger couldn't help thinking of the human cub, who was always following behind him and asking questions.
When the little tiger rolled around the corner, it felt like something was stuck. When the cub swapped the dead leaves, he saw a familiar thing inside.
It was the cat scratching post with two paws that he grabbed during the day, and the little tiger was stunned. He didn't take it earlier, so did the human cub put it in the bag and bring it back for him?
The tiger cub couldn't help stretching out his sharp claws and scratching it!
Sure enough, it was very comfortable. The tiger cub hugged the scratching post and lay down in the nest of dead leaves.
After learning about it, the little tiger noticed that the milky scent of human cubs was filling his den. Human cubs drink a bottle of milk every morning, and their bodies also have a milky scent.
In the past, the tiger cub hated the smell of all human cubs, but this time, amidst the scent of milk, the cub rubbed his head against the dry grass and closed his eyes.
He has no idea what the human cub is doing right now.
***
The human cub, Zhao Xixi, was touching her buttocks at the moment. lying on the sofa, and said pitifully, “Mom, my butt hurts so much... I haven't recovered from the last time you beat me. I want to apply medicine; the medicine I had applied last time...”
Mother Zhao looked at her daughter, who was obviously pretending: “Is it really not recovered yet?”
Little Xixi got up clumsily, then limped and said, “My butt hurts so much. I can't walk without applying medicine. I can't go to school if I can't walk; I can only crawl to school from now on.”
Mother Zhao knew that the child's butt was completely fine. After all, she went to school today and walked well.
But Little Xixi's perseverance made it so obvious that she must apply the medicine today! If she does not get the medicine, she will try many ways to get it. She's determined to apply the medicine, even if it means she'll get beaten again.
Mother Zhao sighed and then said, “Okay, go lie down on the bed, and I'll give you some medicine.”
Little Xixi said with great seriousness, “Mom, I can apply the medicine by myself. I've grown up now. I can't trouble Mom all the time!”
Mother Zhao usually would definitely not give the medicine to Little Xixi for her to apply by herself, but today a colleague called. She was resting at home during this time, but there were still some work matters to be handed over. So Mother Zhao handed over the tube of medicine to Little Xixi. Then she said to her daughter, “This medicine is very expensive. Don't mess with it, you know?”
Little Xixi rolled her eyes, but she still nodded with a guilty conscience.
When Mother Zhao came back from answering the phone, she found that Little Xixi was very well-behaved today. She lay quietly on the bed, as if her butt really hurt.
Lying obediently on the bed, holding a pencil in her hand, she mutters, “1, 2, 3...”
The point is that the child was probably in a good mood while writing and forgot that she still had to act like she was having a butt pain and kick her little feet backwards.
Mother Zhao thought it was funny and walked in, then she said, “Does your butt not hurt anymore?”
Little Xixi: “It doesn't hurt after you apply the medicine. Mom, take out the rest. I will definitely use it again in the future.”
Mother Zhao heard this: “If you want to use it in the future, does that mean you will still do something wrong in the future?”
Little Xixi said convincingly, “It's my first time being a human being, and I always make mistakes.”
Little Xixi’s unreasonable reasoning had defeated Mother Zhao. Then Mother Zhao sat down beside Little Xixi and looked at her handwriting, which was obviously not making any progress. Then she said, “You still have a reason for doing something wrong.”
“Mom is also a mother for the first time and can make mistakes sometimes, too.”
Little Xixi imitated her father's usual appearance. She patted her mother's hand with a tone that she had learned vividly from her father. She said, “Honey, I always feel that Xixi's child is a little... Maybe it's because you didn't pay attention when you were pregnant with her, and because you took traditional Chinese medicine. That's why she has so much energy. So, you have to be patient with her.”
Mother Zhao couldn't stop laughing because of the tone and couldn't help touching her head: “You, you!”
If she can't find a job in the future, her daughter can go directly to perform talk shows about crosstalk.
Early the next morning, Little Xixi knocked on the door of her parents and said, “Get up, get up! I'm going to school.”
Mother Zhao pushed Father Zhao up. After she became pregnant, she often felt too sleepy, so it was Father Zhao who took Zhao Xixi to and from school.
When Father Zhao came out in a daze, he saw Zhao Xixi dressed herself, carrying a small schoolbag, with her hair disheveled like a chicken coop. After a closer look, Father Zhao was happy teasing her daughter: “Xixi, you wear shoes inverted.”
Zhao Xixi sat down on the spot and changed the two shoes. Father Zhao quickly lifted her up, put her on the sofa, and said, “Why do you like to sit directly on the ground more and more?”
Father Zhao didn't know that Little Xixi's classmates sat directly on the ground, on the table, and on the lawn.
Father Zhao lifted Little Xixi directly to the sofa while carrying the thick clothes in one hand. Little Xixi was also holding her pink shoes in both hands. When she was being carried over, Little Xixi was very anxious: “Dad, Dad, the shoe fell off!”
Father Zhao quickly turned around to pick up the fallen shoe and asked a bit strangely, “Xixi, why are you in such a hurry to go to school today?”
Little Xixi has always been positive about the school, but not to this extent.
Little Xixi took her little shoes and said, “Because... Because... Because...”
Zhao Xixi couldn't tell why. Fortunately, Father Zhao didn't insist on her explaining why, so he didn't continue to ask and went to the side to get a comb to comb Little Xixi's hair.
Father Zhao is not yet proficient in combing hair. And it hurts to pull her hair, but Little Xixi didn't scream in pain. She remembered that when the tiger cub had knotted fur in the past, it must have hurt for him to cut his knotted fur.
Father Zhao combed her hair. He is not very good at combing two braids like his wife, so he simply combed in one braid. But Little Xixi's hair is thin and not long, and it's obvious Father Zhao missed a lot of hair when he combed it; it was no longer tie-able, so it became a bit tangled.
Little Xixi touched her little braid and felt that she was very good-looking, so she looked in the mirror smugly. After looking in the mirror, she remembered the things she had thought about before.
So she took the little pink comb from her father.
“Dad, can I take this comb to school?” Little Xixi asked expectantly.
Although Father Zhao found it strange, he still said, “Yes, but you are not allowed to play with a comb in the class. If the teacher complains, you can't take it to school anymore.”
When Little Xixi heard this, she nodded obediently and said, “I know... Don't play while in class. I have listened to the lesson in class.”
Father Zhao remembered when they went to a conference meeting with his daughter. And his daughter made the meeting look like a primary school lesson, so he believed her.
Father Zhao touched his daughter's head and said seriously, “In the future, if someone bullies you, you must tell Dad, and Dad will beat him. Mom and Dad can protect you. Mom and Dad are adults.”
Little Xixi jumped up and down, quickly put away the little comb, and put it in the innermost part of her schoolbag. She nodded at her father's words but didn't take them to heart at all.
After washing up, Father Zhao took Little Xixi and left home. On the way to school, Father Zhao remembered what happened before, so he asked, “Xixi, do you think Mom and Dad are good parents?”
Little Xixi had a straw of pure milk in her mouth. When she heard her father talking, she let go of the straw and said vaguely, “Sometimes yes, sometimes no.”
Father Zhao looked at Little Xixi's little head and said, “Then when did we become good Daddy and Mommy?”
“When Dad and Mom had to send me to school every day, you picked me up going home. Dad and Mom went to work, cooked, bought a lot of milk for me, and covered me with a quilt at night.” Little Xixi said seriously, “Mom and Dad worked hard for me.”
Father Zhao was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicably moved. He never thought that Little Xixi would know this at such a young age.
“That's what parents should do. You are our precious daughter.” Father Zhao said it with great enthusiasm.
Little Xixi: “But Mom and Dad sometimes were not good too.”
Father Zhao hesitated for a moment. “Then when did we become bad parents?”
Little Xixi stopped talking while holding the straw in her mouth.
“Tell Dad, Tell Dad... Daddy will change. Don't you want Mom and Dad to be good parents forever?” Father Zhao felt his heart was filling with emotions, and it was understandable why.
Little Xixi sipped all the milk in her mouth and then said slowly, “It's okay. Sometimes I can also be a good child and sometimes a bad child, so it's okay if Mom and Dad are not always good parents.”
In fact, Little Xixi felt that when she used scissors to cut the wires last time, her mother didn't have to beat her. She thought she could shout, “You are not all good Daddy and Mommy. Because I tell you every day that I don't have enough to eat at noon. I can only eat two apples, and you won’t give me anything when I say I'm hungry every day, so you can’t beat me just because I cut the wires!”
But Little Xixi didn't say that because she was going to save this opportunity until her parents found out that she was friends with the monster.
Mom and Dad didn't want her to be friends with monsters, so she thought if her parents found out, she would say, “Ha! You always leave me hungry. If you don't let me be friends with Tiger Cub, I will complain to Grandma!” She recorded this thing on her album.
Father Zhao coaxed his daughter to get her answers. When did they become bad parents? He recalled it and said in a low voice, “Should Mom and Dad forbid your classmates to pull your hair?”
Little Xixi shook her head and said, “It's not that kind of thing.”
Father Zhao: “Then Mom and Dad shouldn't beat you?”
Little Xixi had finished drinking the milk in her mouth, but she still had the straw in her mouth, and then she shook her head.
Then Father Zhao remembered what happened a year ago, but at that moment, Little Xixi was only a bit over two years old. Although she talked a lot, she might not have such an excellent memory. But Father Zhao really couldn't think of anything else, so he said, “Is that because Mom and Dad sent Ah Bao away?”
Little Xixi was a bit puzzled and said, “Didn't Mom and Dad give Ah Bao to the doctor? How can Mom and Dad be bad parents?”
Of course, they didn't give Ah Bao to the doctor, but at that time, during the city's animal control inspection, the rules did not allow their dog to be kept in the city. But the two of them didn't want to watch the dog get a lethal injection, so they let it go secretly.
They told Little Xixi that the dog was sick and her parents sent the puppy to the doctor.
Father Zhao thought about it again, but he couldn't think of anything. Father Zhao sighed: “Baby, tell Dad; if you don't tell Dad, how will Mom and Dad change? Don't you want to always have good parents?”
Little Xixi waved her hand and said, “Most parents are good parents. Mom and Dad get ninety-nine points.”
At this moment, it was already at the gate of the community, so Little Xixi hugged her schoolbag and rushed into the school community.
“Goodbye, Dad!”
Father Zhao followed behind, seeing his daughter's short legs still running like a galloping penguin. He couldn't help laughing, thinking of when she was just born.
She's already grown so much in the blink of an eye.
Father Zhao saw Little Xixi go to the gate of the kindergarten. Then he waved his hand while shouting to Little Xixi, “You must listen to the teacher at school, and I will pick you up after school.”
Little Xixi hummed, and as soon as her father left, Little Xixi ran towards the kindergarten on the other side.
When Little Xixi ran to the gate of the kindergarten, she saw a little tiger squatting in front of the gate.
Little Xixi immediately put down her schoolbag, squatted down, and pulled the little tiger's fluffy forelimbs.
The tiger cub let her lead him to a corner, and he saw the human cub narrowing her eyes with a smile. She took out a small plastic bag from her pocket like a treasure.
Little Xixi said, “Tiger Cub, I brought this medicine from home. Last time my butts hurt when I got beaten, I feel very comfortable after applying this medicine!”
Tiger Cub: “...” Why is this human cub always able to talk about being beaten in such a cheerful tone, as if it were such an honorable thing?
As Little Xixi said, she dipped the medicine with her little finger and then moved close to the little tiger's neck.
The wound on the little tiger's neck wasn't too big, but Little Xixi was still cautious, as if afraid of hurting himself. She brushed away the long fur on the neck, then found the wound and gently applied the medicine with her little finger.
For all beasts, the neck position is the most sensitive position, just as when a ferocious beast hunts for food, it directly bites off the neck.
Little Xixi leaned closer, with her hand on the little tiger's neck. The little tiger instinctively looked at the human cub's white, tender, and slender neck. However, he only felt that this human cub was so fragile, and he felt a surge of protection in his heart.
While applying, Little Xixi said in a milky voice, “It doesn't hurt anymore; it will soon be gone. Tiger Cub is the bravest baby.”
That's what her mother said to Little Xixi when she was applying the medicine some time ago. Of course, the premise is that if she applied medicine, it was not because she got beat for causing trouble. And if the reason she applied medicine was because she got beat for causing trouble, then Mother Zhao's hands would be heavy. She would say, “You know it hurts. Don't cause trouble if you know it hurts!”
After Little Xixi applied the medicine, she gave the tiger cub a soft blow. She just drank milk this morning, and she smelled like milk.
The tiger cub scratched the ground with his paws on the ground, and the tail behind it stood straight up. He really wanted to hit the human cub next to him with his head.
His human cub is so cute! The little tiger has decided that he will accompany her every time she wants to go to the bathroom!
Little Xixi applied medicine to her good friend, and she was in a good mood. She really wanted to hold hands with him, but reality didn’t allow it. On the one hand, there is a one-meter-tall human cub and a four-legged tiger cub who is only half a meter tall, so it is inconvenient to hold hands; meanwhile, the tiger cub only has paws.
So Little Xixi looked at the fluffy little tiger in front of her, thought for a while, and couldn't help but say, “May I touch your hand?” You can't enter the classroom holding hands like other good friends, but you can touch it. Hand in hand!
Little Xixi still remembered the last time she touched the little tiger's meat pad. It was a bit cool, but it was very comfortable to touch.
The little tiger looked at the human cub and asked softly, “Do you really want it?”
When Little Xixi heard this, she knew that the little tiger must have agreed and nodded her head vigorously. As if she couldn't prove how much she wanted to touch his paws without using force.
The tiger cub sat down on the spot and then gave a paw to the human cub in front of him.
Little Xixi held it in both hands, touched the cool pads, and then couldn't help touching the sharp claws that the tiger cub had retracted.
Very pointed and long nails!
Little Xixi couldn't help touching his claws more, but then she felt a bit pain and retracted her hand, only to find that the pulp of her thumb was bleeding!
She got hurt just now when she scraped the little tiger's claw with her thumb.
Little Xixi looked a bit mentally retarded, and she showed it to the tiger cub: “Wow, your claws are amazing!”
The little tiger lowered his face and was furious when he saw the bright red blood.
Little Xixi had already taken out the plastic bag from her pocket and applied the medicine to herself.
The little tiger withdrew his paw, and the little milky voice was angry: “I won't let you touch it anymore!”
Little Xixi was quite happy at first, but when she heard this, she was a bit strange and said, “Why?”
The little tiger didn't answer. Little Xixi didn't give up and leaned in front of the little tiger, then said, “If I can't touch your hands, then can I touch your head and ears?”
She looked at the little tiger's furry head and fluffy ears. She didn't have such a small head or ears, so she was very curious and wanted to touch it.
The little tiger hesitated for a moment, then looked at the expectant human cub, whose little hands were about to move.
He thought for a while: “No way.” He is the king of beasts. How could anyone touch his ears and head?
Little Xixi was a bit disappointed. “Is it really not possible? Am I really unable to touch your head and ears?”
Little Xixi patted her braid so smugly and continued: “Look at my braid, it's so pretty! I can let you touch it!”
The little tiger looked at the human cub and the pigtail on the back of the human cub. He thought for a while, then said, “If so, you can't touch my ears and my head in front of people, okay?”
Little Xixi hummed and nodded happily!
The little tiger was still looking at Zhao Xixi's braid and said a bit unnaturally, “Then can I touch your head now?”
Of course, Little Xixi was willing, so she sat on the lawn and gave the little tiger a pat on her head.
The little tiger pretended not to care and patted her little head.
It turns out that the human head is like this.
It turns out that the head of a human being that he will become in the future looks like this when he touches it.
As soon as he finished touching her, Little Xixi stretched out her hand to touch the little tiger's fluffy head. The chubby hand gently touched the little ears, as if a bit of force would hurt the little tiger.
It's so soft that Little Xixi feels like she's touching a feather.
Little Xixi touched it twice; she actually wanted to touch it again but held back. What should she do if the little tiger gets upset if she touches it too many times?
This is the first time someone has touched the little tiger's head and ears, and he feels...
His chin itches... He wants to rub his chin.
Of course, the little tiger would not talk about an itchy chin. He followed the only human cub he liked. They walked through many nets together and into the classroom.
Little Xixi got in from under the table and sat down on her stool in an orderly manner. The little tiger jumped onto the table and sat on it.
At this moment, other students also came in one after another, and Little Xixi opened her eyes wide...
It's the lion cub. Usually, he groomed his original fur well. Of course, if the lion cub rolls over or something, his fur will mess up, but his fur is not like the tiger cub's long fur. So, even if his fur is messed up, it's not very easy to see.
But today! It seemed something had treated all his fur, and they all shot up into the sky one by one. Not only that, but the lion cub also wore a small hat and a small black scarf around his neck.
If it's just the lion cub, it wouldn't be shocking. The key is that all the students dressed differently than usual.
For example, the crow cubs, who were originally all black, are wearing colorful feather clothes today.
The clouded-leopard cub also wore a small hat.
Little Xixi looked at the tiger cub. Tiger Cub was still wearing the tiger-striped clothes that Little Xixi had given him before. And Little Xixi is also still wearing her down jacket that she used to wear. She didn't wear a scarf or hat.
Little Xixi whispered to the tiger cub, “Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub, did the teacher say that we should wear a hat today?”
The tiger cub shook his head, looked outside, remembered something, jumped off the table, and walked out.
Little Xixi originally planned to go out with the tiger cub, but at this moment, the little crow behind her spoke.
It turned out that the crow who was sitting behind Little Xixi overheard what she said to Tiger Cub. The little crow swayed her beautiful red feathers and said with great air, “Don't you know? The big monster from above is coming today to check the nursery.”
Little Xixi still doesn't understand. The leaders of her previous school also came to check, but they didn't ask everyone to wear hats.
“Then why are you all wearing hats?” Little Xixi couldn't help asking.
The little crow said, “Do you know who the big monster is?”
Little Xixi, a human cub who has never seen the world, shook her head and asked cooperatively, “Who is it?”
The little crow next to her said, “It's our demon king.”
Little Xixi let out an ooh and said, “That's also a tiger monster!”
Like a tiger cub, he is also a tiger monster. An adult tiger monster.
The little crow immediately became unhappy: “He differs from Tiger Cub. He is a purebred tiger monster.”
After the little crow said this, Little Xixi was not happy, and she was not stupid. The little crow means that her good friend, Tiger Cub, is not a purebred tiger monster.
Although Little Xixi's understanding of purebreds is still half-understood, it does not prevent Little Xixi from being able to understand that the phrase "not a purebred tiger monster" is a curse.
Children are very sensitive to malicious attacks. Particularly a child like Little Xixi, who is a victim of bullying, is even more sensitive to such malicious attacks.
The little crow was standing on the table, and she was not feeling unhappy anymore, so she just flew up and shouted: “He's not a purebred tiger monster! He is not! Tiger Cub is obviously a mixed-race tiger monster, and he, a mixed-race tiger monster, will never become a human in the future! When he grows up, he will end up in the zoo and be locked in a cage if he can’t change!”
Little Xixi was stunned but immediately retorted, “No! The tiger cub is a purebred tiger monster! He is a Siberian tiger! I read it, and he is a purebred Siberian tiger monster! I have seen the Siberian tiger; they look exactly the same!”
The little crow was originally a talkative little monster, and Little Xixi also didn't let it go in this matter. So the two cubs quarreled until they had a blushing face and thick neck.
Later, a paw pulled Little Xixi over and pushed her towards the blackboard.
Little Xixi was furious and wanted to continue fighting.
Then the little tiger pressed his paw on the little head, and the little tiger said seriously, “Don't argue with her.”
Little Xixi thought for a while and retorted, “But she is obviously wrong.”
The little tiger went out just now because he sensed the other tiger outside. But when he went out, he overheard what the adult tiger said to the head of the kindergarten: “This confirmed that he is a hybrid tiger. There are many genes in his body that are not the genes of a purebred tiger.”
“Does he need to be injected with the dementia potion now or when he becomes an adult in the future?”
“Let's just ask him directly.” The adult monster looked over, and the little tiger came out of the corner.
“Little tiger cub, you make your own choice. It is very important to you. If you choose to get an injection right now, you will lose your consciousness as an intelligent creature and live like an ordinary animal. But you will become a protected animal, and several humans will take care of you. You will have your own territory, and there is endless meat every day. However, if you choose to get an injection when you grow up, you will continue to live your current life. Wandering all the time and being discriminated against by others; in fact, if you get the dementia potion injection when you become an adult, the injections may fail. So, would you like to inject it now?”
The little tiger looked at the adult tiger monster, and the voice of the little milk was a bit trembling. After all, he was just a little cub. “Am I really not a Siberian tiger? Am I really a mixed race?”
“I'm sorry.” The adult monster spoke sympathetically.
The little tiger withdrew his memories, looked at the human cub in front of him, and said dejectedly, “I am a mixed-race tiger monster.”
Little Xixi didn't understand. She stretched out her two chubby hands and gestured to the tiger cub.
“It's obviously a purebred Siberian tiger! It's exactly the same!”
The little tiger was not as happy as before. He lay on the table. His head ached, and his neck ached.
It was painful before, and it was not so easy before, but it was not as sad as it is now.
The adult monster said that it was the end of his life.
He is a mixed-race tiger monster. He will never turn into a human in his life and will get injected with a potion, forget about the little human cub, and become an ordinary animal.
The little tiger monster was very sad for the first time.
Little Xixi leaned her head next to the little tiger's head, then turned her head and said, “Tiger Cub, you are really a Siberian tiger. Did some bad kids say something? They are bad kids, and what they said was all lies.”
Little Xixi tried her best to let her good friend know that what the bad kids said was all a lie. So she continued: “I have met bad boys before, and they said I was a little fat pig, really ugly. But actually, I am not ugly at all!”
The little tiger looked at the human cub and said, “It's the adult monster who said it. He said that there are many genes in my body that a purebred tiger doesn't have and that a purebred tiger cannot lose teeth. I lost two.”
Little Xixi understood the word jī yīn (雞音/ chicken sound). These two words seem so familiar, but she can't remember where she heard them.
[Translator's Note: Little Xixi means is jīyīn (基因) = Gene]
She still said stubbornly from what was in her heart, “No, you are really a Siberian tiger! Siberian tigers all have long fur.”
Little Xixi was too small and thought that the others regarded Tiger Cub as a mixed race because of his long fur. So she takes this issue with great seriousness.
Little Xixi thought for a while and said, “I'll go home and get that thing. When everyone sees it, everyone will know that you are a Siberian tiger!” It's the thing she's seen before!
The little tiger raised his head to look at this silly human cub, looked at it for a while, and then asked, “Then...do you still want to touch my ears?”
If he ends up in the zoo, there will be a big iron fence separating them, and even if this human cub buys a ticket to see him, she’s not allowed to touch his ears.
Little Xixi blinked her eyes. Although she was sad, she still wanted to touch his ears.
Little Xixi's chubby hand gently touched the little tiger's head and circled the little ear with her little hand. She touched it twice, and it felt very comfortable.
The little tiger raised his head resignedly, so Little Xixi's little hand went down along the ear and touched his chin naturally.
The little tiger's original sad mood suddenly seemed to be smoothed away. As if something moved the big stones that were pressing in his heart away, leaving only a soft touch scratching on his chin.
Comfortable... He has never been so comfortable.
He couldn't help but make a snoring sound in his nasal cavity...
This was something the little tiger had never heard before, and he was stunned.
