Chapter 118 - Teacher
Chapter 118: Teacher
Huanhuan temporarily put aside the development of Forgetting Water.
She wanted the females to get along with the males as fairly as possible, but she didn’t want to be the cause of females getting into trouble.
But to her surprise, under her influence, the mates in the tribe quietly changed.
In the past, females would always rely on their dominance in their mate relationships and completely disregard their male beasts. Some excessive females, like Shuang Yun’s mother, would even abuse their male beasts and take them as slaves.
But now that there was a way to undo the mate bond, it meant that the bond was greatly reduced.
The females felt a sense of crisis. They did not want to leave their male mates. They restrained their tempers and became much gentler to their male beast mates.
This made the male beasts feel flattered. They were even more protective of their females.
Hence, not only did their relationship not crack, but they became even more intimate and harmonious.
Lin Huanhuan knew nothing about this. She continued to study the medicine to deal with the infertility of the feather tribe while supervising the establishment of the kindergarten. She was extremely busy every day.
The kindergarten was set up in the learning area. The houses were ready-made, and the tables and chairs had been made of wood.
Huanhuan had personally checked them. There was no problem with the kindergarten, but there was a blackboard missing.
There was no black paint here, so she had to get someone to find a large dark slab and erect it in the classroom. Then, she found a few palm-sized smooth stones and cut them into strips to use as chalk.
Alright, everything was ready!
......
In her first teaching experiment, Huanhuan did not dare to practice on other people’s cubs. She could only bring her four wolf cubs to the classroom.
The wolf cubs sat on the animal hide blanket and looked up at Huanhuan innocently.
Huanhuan first drew something on the blackboard and said to them, “This is one. Repeat after me, one—”
The wolf cubs opened their mouths. “Roar!”
Huanhuan: “…”
His first teaching experiment had failed!
Just as Huanhuan was thinking about how to teach the wolf cubs to speak, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye slipped in.
Huanhuan asked, “Why are you here?”
Bai Di cleared his throat. “We’re here for class.”
“Huh?”
Shuang Yun said, “We want to learn to read too!”
Sang Ye echoed, “Teach us.”
Huanhuan looked at them in a daze.
Bai Di hesitated. “Can’t we?”
Knowledge was a very precious treasure. Most people would not be willing to teach it to others, even if they were their own family.
“If you can’t teach us, then just pretend we never said anything—”
“I’ll be happy to teach you!” Huanhuan said quickly.
The three male beasts smiled at her words.
Huanhuan said a little uneasily, “But let’s make it clear in advance. We’re exchanging knowledge with each other. We’re not in a teacher and student relationship.”
She had no intention of becoming her husbands’ teacher! She felt the shame of roleplaying!
Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye immediately sat down.
The seats that were originally custom-made for cubs were relatively small. They were too cramped for the three adult male beasts. They were uncomfortable sitting there. In the end, they simply pushed aside the tables and chairs and sat on the ground.
Huanhuan said, “Then let’s start with numbers today…”
The three male beasts were very good at learning. She had only planned to teach them ten numbers today, but she realized that they were learning quickly. Hence, she wrote their names on the blackboard and taught them how to write them.
Shuang Yun suddenly asked, “Huanhuan, how do I write your name?”
She slowly wrote the words ‘Lin Huanhuan’ on the blackboard.
“Lin is my surname. Huanhuan is my name. In the place where I used to live, the surname is a symbol of the continuation of a family.”
Shuang Yun immediately said, “Then all our children’s surnames are Lin!”
Huanhuan smiled. “You’re their father. They should take your surname.”
“But I think your surname sounds better.”
Huanhuan was helpless. “Whatever.”
Hence, Shuang Yun happily added the word ‘Lin’ in front of his children’s names. From then on, their surname would be Lin.
The three male beasts wrote Lin Huanhuan’s name over and over again, as if they wanted to engrave these three words into their bones.
In the next few days, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye would come to Huanhuan’s class whenever they were free.
They liked it when Huanhuan taught seriously. Her tense face was especially cute, like a fat and soft bun. It made one want to take a bite.
Seeing that they were listening so seriously, Huanhuan was very relieved, so she taught even more enthusiastically.
The class was in harmony.
However, something seemed to have happened today.
Huanhuan realized that there were two sneaky figures at the door of the classroom. Just as she was about to see who they were, Sang Ye rushed out and pulled the two guys in.
It was Meng Li and Jiu Yuan!
Huanhuan was very surprised. “Why are you here?”
Meng Li’s gaze involuntarily drifted to the blackboard. There were still words written on it. At first, he only suspected it, but now, it completely confirmed his guess. The only person in the Rock Wolf Tribe who could read and write was Lin Huanhuan!
He was shocked.
How could a young and delicate female know so many words? It was unbelievable!
Meng Li couldn’t help but ask, “Who taught you to read?”
No one in this world would be willing to impart their precious knowledge to a female, right?!
Huanhuan said slowly, “My teachers taught me.”
“Teachers?”
Huanhuan explained, “Teachers are elders who answer questions and help others learn. They know a lot and are very worthy of respect.”
Meng Li had never heard of such great and selfless people in this world!
Teachers? He really wished he could meet these people in his lifetime!
Shuang Yun said in a low voice, “Elder Meng Li, you haven’t answered Huanhuan’s question.”
Ever since the Elders Council was established, Meng Li had entered the council as a witch doctor for the wild horse tribe and became a member.
Meng Li looked at the little female in front of him and seemed to have made up his mind. He clenched one hand into a fist and pressed it against his chest. He bowed slowly. “Teacher, please accept me as your student! I want to learn too!”
Huanhuan looked confused. “Huh?”
“Please! Teacher, as long as you’re willing to teach me, I’ll do anything!”
Huanhuan quickly helped him up. “You’re old enough to be my grandfather. Don’t bow to me. That’s not appropriate.”
Meng Li looked at her eagerly. “Will you teach me?”
Huanhuan couldn’t make a decision for a moment. She subconsciously looked at Bai Di for guidance.
Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye had already discussed accepting students in private. They had also thought up a suitable countermeasure.
