Chapter 43 - Confidence


Zhao Xixi had never been so happy. It was already a quarter past nine in the evening. Usually, at this time, Zhao Xixi had already started sleeping, but now she was not sleepy at all.

She couldn’t wait to give all her precious things to the tiger cub. After that, she took the tiger cub and started brushing their teeth.

Her mother had bought an extra children’s toothbrush and put it at home.

Zhao Xixi got a glass of water for the tiger cub and then another glass of water for herself. She squeezed the toothpaste on the toothbrush, handed it to the tiger cub, and taught him in a sweet voice, “Tiger Cub, look at me. Just hold the toothbrush like this, and then brush your teeth gently like this, up and down slowly, and brush your teeth thoroughly.”

Then the tiger cub held the toothbrush and saw Zhao Xixi moving her hands. He also imitated the other person’s move, but suddenly, the toothbrush handle broke in the middle. He used too much force.

Zhao Xixi was shocked to see that. She quickly took a sip of water and spat out all the bubbles in her mouth. Although half of the toothbrush handle had broken, Zhao Xixi could still hold it steady with her little hands.

Zhao Xixi: “Tiger Cub, open your mouth, and I’ll brush it for you.”

Zhao Xixi was talking like a little adult: “But I’ll only brush it for you this time because as children, we all have to learn how to brush our teeth by ourselves.”

The golden eyes of the tiger cub are also full of seriousness. He just turned into a child for the first time and doesn't have experience as a human cub like Zhao Xixi, so he has to listen to the human cub Zhao Xixi.

Then the tiger cub opened his mouth. Zhao Xixi held half of the toothbrush handle and gently brushed his teeth. While brushing, she said, “Mom said that we must brush our teeth before going to bed. We also must brush our teeth when we get up in the morning. Otherwise, there will be worms in the teeth. It will be very painful when we have a toothache, and then the teeth will fall out, and we will have no teeth.”

She added, “You can’t eat meat without teeth.”

Father and Mother Zhao had particularly complicated expressions on their faces while eavesdropping on their daughter from outside, who was teaching the other child how to be a good kid.

But they felt relieved. Although the little tiger didn’t speak much, through what Zhao Xixi had said before, they could feel that the little tiger was completely listening to their daughter’s words.

Father and Mother Zhao only came out of their bedroom after the two children had entered the bathroom. Then they eavesdropped from outside the door, so they did not notice that the little tiger had turned into a child.

Although when Zhao Xixi spoke, she had said, We as children, Father and Mother Zhao didn't think that way. On the one hand, this was because Zhao Xixi often said these: we as little children; we as little friends; when I was a child. These had basically become her mantras. So, Father and Mother Zhao never thought that it was possible for a tiger cub to turn into a human child.

At this time, they heard Zhao Xixi in the bathroom talking non-stop. Every time she got excited and felt happy, she would keep talking, as if she wanted to convey her happiness to the other person.

Father and Mother Zhao rarely heard the tiger cub’s voice. He only said one or two words occasionally. However, Zhao Xixi became happier and happier as she talked.

The two parents thought of themselves. Every time Zhao Xixi was very happy and wanted to talk to them, they were impatient with her.

A child's emotions are very sensitive. She can sense whether you are listening to her carefully or whether you are being perfunctory.

They felt a lot more relieved now.

At this moment, the two cubs were about to come out of the bathroom. Father Zhao quickly picked up his wife, who was seven months pregnant, and returned to their room.

Zhao Xixi walked so slowly from the bathroom to her room because the tiger cub had just turned into a human child for the first time, so he still didn't know how to walk yet.

The two cubs slowly returned to the room, and then Zhao Xixi decently said, “Tiger Cub, you should go to bed. I will tell you a story. After I tell you a story, you have to go to sleep.”

Apparently, Zhao Xixi was too excited after all, so she fell asleep while telling the story and hugged the tiger cub next to her.

The tiger cub talks very little. No one or a monster has ever talked to him since he was a child, so he has no desire to talk. And now he sleeps in a warm quilt.

There was also a milky scent from the human cub next to him inside the quilt. The tiger cub closed his eyes, rubbed his little head against the human cub next to him, and made a purring sound in his throat.

He can't go into the zoo, and he can't go into the laboratory.

Absolutely not.

The little tiger had his eyes open and was not sleeping. He wanted to protect this human cub.

At this moment, the tiger cub saw something staring from outside the window.

The tiger cub instantly turned into a little tiger, then struggled out of the clothes. He jumped out of the bed, then jumped onto the desk next to him, and saw a pair of eyes outside the fence through the glass.

The tiger cub recognized it at a glance. It was that big dog.

Although he had a very unpleasant experience with this dog before, the tiger cub was very grateful to the other party for helping him last time.

The little tiger easily pushed open the window and jumped out. However, as soon as he went out, the big dog disappeared.

The tiger cub could only jump back to the desk. Through the moonlight, he saw a photo on the desk. In the photo, a chubby child hugging a puppy.

He suddenly remembered what others had said: “Its owner had abandoned that vicious dog.”

***

When Zhao Xixi woke up the next day, she found that the tiger cub had turned back into a tiger cub and was sleeping next to her. Zhao Xixi immediately brought a comb over and began combing the tiger cub.

However, after combing a little, Teacher Tao Hua came, and Zhao Xixi could only watch the tiger cub leave again.

Fortunately, she will see the tiger cub when she goes to school in a while. That was what Zhao Xixi had thought, so she ran to school impatiently, but she still knew to say, “Goodbye, Dad… Goodbye, Mom… And goodbye, little brother. When you grow up later, Sister will take you to school!”

Then Zhao Xixi ran away like a gust of wind, huffing and puffing.

She brought a pen and paper to the tiger cub today. She didn't have time to teach the tiger cub to draw last night. Once he had human hands, he could draw with a pen.

Zhao Xixi is also so happy about this.

She couldn't wait to teach the tiger cub to draw. The tiger cub could definitely draw as well as she could.

However, there is no drawing class today, only a circle drawing class in the morning.

The one who taught circle drawing was Teacher Tao Hua. When Teacher Tao Hua entered the classroom, she looked at the seats of the students in the class. Then, she said a bit strangely, “Why didn't the lion cub come to school today?”

Although the cubs study in the same class, they have gone home to their own homes each time after school. So no one knows why the lion cub did not come to school today.

Even though they don’t know why the lion cub didn’t come to school, the class will still continue. Teacher Tao Hua will start teaching new content today.

Although the lesson is still about drawing circles, they can regard it as the second stage of learning.

However, Zhao Xixi has no fate in this second stage because she still can't draw the glowing circle. But she hasn't given up yet, and her little hands are still drawing just like the others.

The cubs are all drawing the circle of the second stage. Only Zhao Xixi is still trying to summon the circle of the first stage, but she is not in a hurry.

Zhao Xixi also specifically asked the teacher if they would test her on circle drawing in the final exam. The teacher seriously answered that the final exam would not test circle drawing but only mathematics, drawing art, Chinese language, and music. So Zhao Xixi was relieved.

Because she is the best in their class at counting, drawing, and the Chinese Pinyin. She can even write the alphabet "abcde", and she can also sing. Zhao Xixi thinks she sings well too.

Therefore, when the time comes, she will definitely be number one in the class, and her parents will definitely be so happy.

Although Zhao Xixi couldn’t do the drawing circle, it didn’t stop her from thinking that the tiger cub’s circle that he had drawn was very beautiful!

So, Teacher Tao Hua, who was teaching in this class, kept hearing Zhao Xixi saying to the tiger cub, “The circle you drew is very beautiful!”

Teacher Tao Hua: “…”

It could be said that once she had a teaching seminar, and during this meeting they mentioned this subject, which was about the cubs’ attributes. At that moment, she blurted out that the drawing circle was so beautiful. Everyone looked her over in surprise, but she didn't even realize she had said something wrong.

She had to admit that what Zhao Xixi said was too much brainwashing.

Currently, the nursery kindergarten principal has sent a text message: “The Lion King has come to the office. Please bring the tiger cub and Zhao Xixi over.”
