Chapter 42 - The Happiest


Teacher Tao Hua did not see the tiger cub turn into a little boy. After weighing everything, she felt okay with the tiger cub secretly going to be with Zhao Xixi these days.

Mostly because the two children were slightly abnormal after what happened yesterday, Teacher Tao Hua thought it might be good for them to stay together.

Although almost everyone knew that the two children had gone through hardships together and would have a better relationship in the future, something still distracts them in the afternoon.

Usually, Zhao Xixi is very attached to the tiger cub; however, in the past, she manifested it by chatting endlessly and sharing various things with the tiger cub. But now, Little Xixi seems a bit more quiet. She holds the tiger cub’s head in her little hands and gets close to him from time to time, whispering in his ears.

Teacher Tao Hua felt that, at the most, it was only the children’s talk again.

In fact, Zhao Xixi was talking about these:

“Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub, your eyes haven’t changed at all. They are all golden. They look so good!”

“When can I see you look like that again?”

The tiger cub himself didn’t know, but seeing Zhao Xixi’s expectant look, he said, “We should be able to see it soon.”

Zhao Xixi smiled so hard that she narrowed her eyes. She was so happy these two days.

Her mother had agreed to let the tiger cub live in their house. And also, the tiger cub could turn into a child. She can finally hold hands with him, sleep together, and tell stories and talk together at night.

Zhao Xixi was so happy when she thought they could talk secretly together at night and couldn’t wait to jump into the night.

After school was the happiest time for Zhao Xixi. She jumped up and down to her parents, then held their hands and anxiously said, “Go home! Go home! Let’s go home quickly!”

Because Teacher Tao Hua said that she would send the tiger cub to their home, they should go back quickly and wait at home. What if Teacher Tao Hua and the tiger cub arrive home, but they still haven't arrived yet?

Father and Mother Zhao glanced at each other and felt that their daughter was really… a child.

Only children can have such emotions, being so impatient to see and play with their friends.

After arriving home, Zhao Xixi couldn’t wait to return to her room.

“This is my Barbie doll. But boys seem not to like Barbie dolls…”

“This is my Thomas the Tank Engine. Tiger Cub must like Thomas the Tank Engine very much because the other boys love it too…”

Then Zhao Xixi took out the things inside Princess Barbie’s bag from under her pillow.

Zhao Xixi checked it out and found milk candies, gacha toys, and peanut candies.

Afterward, Zhao Xixi took out all her fairy tale books so that she could tell stories to the tiger cub.

Mother Zhao was washing peaches and strawberries in the kitchen, and then cutting two kiwis. She didn’t know the child’s taste, so she just made a fruit platter and then cut the stewed meat. She guesses this should not be bad.

Mother Zhao brought both plates to Zhao Xixi’s room and saw that her room had become a mess.

She took out all the toys and placed them on the ground. There were also candies that she had saved for some time. Their family hadn't bought milk candies for a long time. When had she saved these candies?

Okay, it's understandable that, as a child, when a friend comes, she wants to share her good things with her friend.

Mother Zhao looked at Zhao Xixi, who was still busy putting out all her clothes and pants, so she said, “Baby, are you wondering which outfit to wear?”

You have seen each other every day. Do you still need to find a particularly good-looking dress?

Mother Zhao was so confused, then she saw her baby turning around and said, “Mom, I’m very busy right now. I’ll talk to you later, okay?”

Mother Zhao seemed to have turned into a lonely elder woman in an instant and helplessly said, “…Okay, then.”

Father Zhao patted Mother Zhao’s shoulder and said, “They, as children, already had a child’s way of getting along with each other. So, we don’t need to worry about them.”

Mother Zhao nodded. Still, this was the first time her daughter had brought a friend home.

Zhao Xixi finally found the clothes and pants she wanted and hid them under the quilt. Then she came out of her room, moved her small stool, and sat behind the door.

She was waiting for someone to ring the doorbell.

Zhao Xixi had waited, waited, and waited, but she didn’t hear someone ringing the doorbell.

Teacher Tao Hua is a good teacher and will definitely not lie, but why hasn’t she come yet? Is there a traffic jam on the road?

Just like every time there was a traffic jam on the road, her father would be late for work. So they might have been stuck in traffic jams too, and Teacher Tao Hua was also late.

Mother Zhao looked at this scene and said with a headache, “It’s already eight o’clock. Didn’t they already promise to deliver him here? Why haven’t they come yet?”

Father Zhao also said, “It’s almost time to go to sleep. They still haven't come here yet. It's impossible for the child to wait here all the time, right?”

Afterward, he took the cut-beef stew next to him. But before he could put it in his mouth, Mother Zhao snatched it away.

Then she said, “These were kept for that child. If you want to eat, just cut the one in the kitchen yourself.”

Suddenly, Mother Zhao had an idea: “Could it be that they are just waiting for us to sleep?”

Because the teacher didn’t know that they already knew about the tiger cub, that teacher would definitely have to avoid them.

Mother Zhao suddenly realized that this must be the case.

So Mother Zhao said, “Baby, Daddy, and I are going to bed. When your classmate arrives later, you should go to bed early and don’t stay up late, understand?”

Zhao Xixi turned around, nodded sharply, and answered, “We will absolutely go to bed early. Good night, Mom and Dad.”

Father Zhao came over and kissed his daughter on the forehead while saying, “Good night, baby, are you really not going to brush your teeth and wash your face first?”

Zhao Xixi shook her head and said, “I want to wait for Tiger Cub. I want to happily brush my teeth and wash my face together with him…”

Father Zhao: “Okay, go to bed early. If you need anything, just call your parents. We can hear you.”

Zhao Xixi: “Okay, Mom, and Dad.”

In order to prevent Father Zhao from continuing to talk, Mother Zhao quickly dragged Father Zhao back to the room and turned off all the lights.

However, the two of them did not sleep. Neither of them could sleep.

Although on the surface they 100% supported Zhao Xixi's good friend coming to the house, in fact, this did not mean that they could eliminate the influence of their prejudice against monsters over the years.

Although on the surface they 100% supported Zhao Xixi's good friend coming to the house, in fact, this did not mean that they could eliminate many years of influence in their prejudice against monsters.

Zhao Xixi stared at the door keenly and jumped excitedly. The tiger cub must be coming soon… He must be coming…

After a while, Zhao Xixi heard a sound coming from inside her bedroom. She quickly stood up and ran back to her bedroom. Then she saw the little tiger who had stepped onto Thomas the Tank Engine and fell to the ground with his feet in the air…

Zhao Xixi was frightened and ran over quickly: “Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub, are you okay?”

The tiger cub quickly turned over and shook his head, and then they saw Teacher Tao Hub outside the window.

Teacher Tao Hua whispered to the two cubs, “Okay, stop talking. You two go to bed quickly.”

What could happen to a tiger if he fell like that?

Zhao Xixi whispered, “We haven’t brushed our teeth yet. We can’t sleep without brushing our teeth because there will be worms in our teeth.”

Teacher Tao Hua felt helpless and wanted to press her temples, but she still said, “Then go and brush your teeth quickly. After brushing your teeth, go to bed.”

Zhao Xixi added, “After brushing our teeth, we have to wash our faces. After washing our faces, we have to soak our feet. And after soaking our feet, we have to change into pajamas. After changing pajamas, we have to…”

Teacher Tao Hua really couldn’t help but press her temples and say, “Baby, do you know your parents don’t know that the tiger cub is here? So you don't need to brush your teeth, wash your face, soak your feet, or change pajamas for tonight. Just have a good sleep, okay?”

Zhao Xixi drooped her head and said, “Okay then…”

Teacher Tao Hua: “You’re so obedient. I'm going back. You guys should be good.”

Zhao Xixi: “Goodbye, teacher.”

As soon as Teacher Tao Hua left, Zhao Xixi couldn’t wait to give all her things to Tiger Cub. Then she excitedly said, “Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub, this is my Thomas, the Tank Engine, these are my candies, and this… this…”

Zhao Xixi placed all these things in front of the tiger cub.

The tiger cub also slowly turned into a little boy, showing a good-looking face. Although he is still very young and his face is very immature, one can still tell that he will be good-looking when he grows up.

After the tiger cub turned into a little boy, he still wore the same tiger-striped clothes.

Zhao Xixi couldn’t wait to take out two pieces of clothing from the bed next to her: a big gray sweater and a pair of small sweatpants.

Zhao Xixi is fatter than her peers, and she is afraid of the cold. She always wears layers upon layers, so both her pants and clothes are too big.

“Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub, put these clothes and pants on quickly.”

The little boy sat on the ground, looking at the big sweater. He didn’t know how to put it on. Zhao Xixi immediately took action, padded her feet, and then put the sweater on the little tiger’s head. She dressed the tiger cub by imitating the way her mother dressed her.

Zhao Xixi often dressed Barbie dolls, so she felt she had a special experience dressing others.

After getting dressed, Zhao Xixi brought the beef and fruits over, one plate in each hand, and said, “Tiger Cub, come eat! My mother made it!”

Then she suddenly remembered something, and she went to get a stack of money under the pillow with great joy.

Zhao Xixi handed it to the tiger cub as if offering a treasure. She said, “I’ll give this to you too. I’ve been saving it for a long time…”

There are so many things that she wants to give to the tiger cub at once. Zhao Xixi is so excited!

In Zhao Xixi's mind, every human child must need someone to raise them up. The tiger cub has now become a human child, so Zhao Xixi is very concerned about this issue.

She couldn’t wait to express her feelings and announced, “Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub, you can be a human child from now on, then I will pick up wires and raise you!”
