Chapter 37 Anka Course Taking Care of Children
Ming Nuo was so frightened by Ti Lung's life-threatening literature that he had a nightmare that night.
In the dream, Sedwick was standing in front of him in his completely wet pajamas, and Dillon was standing quietly behind Sedwick, staring at them like a ghost.
He suddenly pressed Sedwick's head towards him.
"One kiss, and I'll give you my life!"
Dillon's crazy voice immediately scared Ming Nuo awake. He covered his chest and gasped for breath, still in shock. It took a while for his heart to return to normal rhythm.
The dormitory was pitch black, and he could faintly hear his roommate's shallow breathing. Ming Nuo angrily slapped his smart computer, blaming Ti Lung for leaving him with such a deep psychological trauma.
When Mianhua saw Mingnuo woke up, she snuggled up to his arms and nudged his chin.
Holding this warm and soft little thing, Ming Nuo's anger gradually dissipated, and sleepiness came over him again. He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
The next day at 7:30, 566 woke Mingnuo up on time to go to school.
Mingnuo climbed out of bed with great difficulty. He was the last one to get up among the four. At this time, Sedwick and Lin Yu had already changed their clothes and were ready to go out to buy breakfast.
Sedwick asked Mingnuo, "What do you want to eat?"
"Sandwiches, please." Mingnuo said listlessly, "with lots of ketchup."
Sedwick: "Okay."
Field also clamored for Lin Yu to bring him breakfast. "I want rice noodles and a cup of hot soy milk. Can you also buy me some steamed dumplings and a basket of buns?"
Lin Yu: "...why don't you die of stuffing?"
Field pushed them both out the door, "Hurry up, hurry up, remember there are two babies at home who need to be fed. Go early and come back early, I will miss you dear~"
Ming Nuo brushed his teeth while watching them playing, and his mind finally became much clearer. He took the warm water to wash his face, and then wiped his face with cotton.
A few minutes later, Sedwick came back with breakfast. He gave him Mingnuo's sandwich. Seeing that he was about to give half to Cotton, he looked up and stopped him, "No, I bought it food."
Cotton was looking forward to the food in Mingnuo's hand. Seeing that this annoying human had snatched away its food again, Cotton was so angry that he growled at Sedwick, and all the hair on his body stood up.
Ming Nuo looked at the fluffy cotton candy in surprise and tapped its nose. "Don't tell me, you're really a bit fierce like that."
Those who didn't know might think it was a ferocious beast. Ming Nuo poked its belly and added in his heart that it was actually just a cute little creature that would fall down if poked.
Sedwick took out some grilled sausages. The aroma of meat instantly made Cotton stand up straight and move closer to his hand to smell it.
"You were mean to me just now," Sedwick said calmly to the little guy, "so the sausages are cut in half."
He gave two of the four sausages to Field, who accepted them all and said, "Thanks, brother, and thanks, Cotton."
cotton:"……"
Watching the sausage that should have belonged to him being eaten by Field, Cotton's target of hatred instantly became Field.
Field even ate the sausage clean right in front of it, then grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and said proudly, "What can you do to me, little Bi Ga, who's not even as tall as my calf?"
Ming Nuo couldn't help laughing. Seeing that Cotton was about to go crazy and turn into an evil polar fleece, he quickly rescued Cotton from Field's hands, held him in his arms and coaxed him, "Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you after class, okay?"
Cotton ate the remaining sausages with a wronged look on his face, and glared at Field angrily.
After the hatred was transferred, it no longer resisted Sedwick's touch and would rub his hand actively.
Field watched this scene and understood everything in an instant. He stopped chewing and looked at Sedwick in shock. "Okay, you scheming man, you did it on purpose!"
Sedwick played dumb, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Field pulled Lin Yu and said, "Tell me, did he deliberately let me take the blame to attract more attention?"
Lin Yu didn't want to get involved in the intrigues between the two people, so he walked to Ming Nuo and concentrated on eating breakfast with him.
There was only one two-hour Anka class this morning. After Mingnuo finished his breakfast, he locked Cotton in the dormitory before going to class. As he walked along, he saw senior students carrying instruments and doing measurements everywhere on campus.
Helios College covers a large area, and Sedwick turned on the navigation to lead the three of them to find the teaching building before class.
The classroom was on the third floor and was already full of students. There were too few vacant seats, so Mingnuo sat alone with Sedwick, while Field and Lin Yu went to the other side of the classroom.
After Minnow took his seat, Sedwick sat next to him, holding his hand close.
Dillon suppressed his distress and reminded them, "You've been less than one meter apart for a total of forty minutes. You still have two hours and twenty minutes of contact today. Your brother will be notified of the extra time."
Ming Nuo was stunned, "...but we are in class."
Dillon spoke quickly, "Well, I really can't delay your studies. I'll apply to your brother to extend the time to 24 hours."
After a few seconds, Dillon said in a low voice, "Your brother only extended it by two hours. Damn, you now only have five hours a day of contact less than one meter."
Five hours... that's fine, as long as it doesn't exceed eight hours. Last time, Sedwick spent more than eight hours with him every day, which caused the withdrawal reaction after separation.
Ming Nuo thought about his addictive mental power and told Sedwick, "Otherwise, I'll sit with Lin Yu next time to prevent you from relapsing."
Sedwick refused without a second thought, "No, I don't like sitting with him."
"But weren't you desk mates in high school?" Ming Nuo found it unbelievable. "Field said you were desk mates in junior high school, elementary school, and even kindergarten."
Sedwick glanced at him and said, "...Aren't you tired of sitting here?"
"Okay." Mingnuo accepted this.
At this time, a blonde lady walked in. She had a bright face and a majestic look between her brows. Two other people came into the classroom dragging a cart of dolls.
Ming Nuo had been in Anka Garden for a long time, so he naturally recognized the identity of this lady - Director Dana. It is said that before Xu Yao was shot, this person stopped him and slapped him several times.
Principal Dana is only gentle and warm towards underage children, but she is as cold and indifferent to other adults as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Dana also saw Mingnuo in the crowd. She nodded to him slightly and then started today's class.
The first half of the class was devoted to theoretical knowledge, while the second half was dedicated to practical training. Lifelike dolls were handed out to the students. Ming Nuo curiously touched his doll; it felt like real human skin, even softer.
Dana said at the podium, "Record the fine lines into the button on the doll's neck. From now on, you must treat your doll as your own child. The three-day assessment will directly affect your parenting score."
“Now, let’s look at the failures.”
Mingnuo looked up and saw an endless stream of videos of failed parenting stories displayed on the electronic whiteboard.
Some people accidentally dropped the doll on the ground, and the back of the head hit the ground, causing the "child" to die; some people could not stand the doll crying in the middle of the night, and angrily threw the doll into the next room, causing the doll to faint and die from crying.
Suddenly, Ming Nuo blinked and saw two familiar faces in the video.
Herbert and Koning stand together, each holding their own doll. This scene should be a bathing class. Koning washes the child's hair and bathes him with ease, dries the body with a towel, and holds the child in his arms and coaxes him gently.
The movements were professional and completely in line with the teacher's instructions. The photographer gave Koning a close-up, and could even see his long eyelashes and transparent white skin.
Herbert beside him was washing the doll's hair with as much concentration as if he were facing a great enemy.
He was rubbing the head of a bald doll, with one hand placed behind the doll's neck to maintain balance, but he accidentally used a little force with his hand.
With a snap, the doll's head flew out instantly.
Herbert's expression was obviously dull for a while, and then he slowly looked at Corning, his eyes full of helplessness and helplessness.
Corning's expression froze for a moment. He took a deep breath and glared at Herbert. Perhaps because of the camera, he suppressed his anger and wanted to beat him up.
The video ends with the two people looking at each other.
The moment Ming Nuo saw the doll's head separated from its body, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck and quickly touched his head.
Fortunately, the brain is still there.
Mingnuo let out a breath, and the next second he looked up to see his classmates around him staring at him while trying to hold back their laughter. His face turned red in an instant, and he buried his face in Sedwick's shoulder to avoid his classmates' sight.
What should I do? It's so embarrassing.
Principal Dana called everyone's attention back. "Couples must both meet the parenting score threshold to apply for a parenting spot. If a same-sex couple wants to adopt a child of the opposite sex, their score must be above 80. If they want a second child, they'll need to take another exam."
"This is a serious matter. Please take it seriously and avoid the above situation, which would result in a failing grade in parenting. Just a reminder: the make-up exam will be more difficult than the first one. His Majesty Herbert also took the exam fifteen times."
Ming Nuo couldn't raise his head anymore, but for some reason he wasn't very worried about the test results. Perhaps it was because of his father's failure, so he felt that no matter how bad he was, he wouldn't be that bad.
The doll had to be carried with you for three days. As soon as the exam officially started, the lifelike doll started crying non-stop. Ming Nuo frantically held it to comfort it, but he was deducted 0.5 points on the spot because of his incorrect holding posture.
"Put your hands on its back."
While Sedwick was taking care of the doll in his hand, he was also keeping an eye on Mingnuo's movements. When he heard that he was deducted 0.5 points, he felt more distressed than if he had been deducted 50 points.
Mingnuo adjusted the way he held the baby and began to put a diaper on it. The doll was a one-to-one replica of a human baby. It not only cried and made a fuss, but could even eat milk and defecate.
The whole classroom was filled with the shrill cries of a baby. Mingnuo had to hold the child and pat its back all the time, otherwise he would be greeted with loud crying.
"I beg you to stop crying."
Mingnuo's arms were sore, and at this moment he suddenly understood those DINKs who didn't want children. He looked at the children who cried loudly at the slightest dissatisfaction, and for a moment he wanted to cry even more than he did.
Sitting behind Mingnuo was a young couple. The boy started to lose his temper while trying to coax them, and finally started cursing the imperial system as disgusting and Anka Garden for looking for trouble.
"You swear in front of a baby, and you'll lose 10 points. You can't maintain your composure and show violent tendencies, and you'll lose 50 points. You've failed the test."
The girl stared at her boyfriend in a daze.
The doll in the boy's hand stopped crying. The Anka Garden staff took the doll back and said coldly to the boy, "You don't need to come to class. Let's go."
The boy's face turned pale again, and he tried to save the situation anxiously, "Give me another chance, I, I just lost control for a moment, and this is my first time being a father too."
"Your child is also a child for the first time." The Anka Garden staff member said firmly, "Why should your child bear all the consequences caused by your irrationality? Leave now, or you will be punished severely."
The boy lowered his head and looked at his girlfriend before leaving. "You must get a few more points, otherwise we won't be able to have children in the future."
The girl's eyes were cold. "Oh, but I don't want to have a child with you anymore. Let's break up."
The boy looked at her blankly, but the girl turned her head away and ignored him, coaxing the baby in her arms.
Ming Nuo couldn't help but turn his head to look at them. They were not the only couple who had encountered similar situations. This parenting class was indeed called a breakup course for couples.
Well-deserved reputation.
"It's time to change your baby's diaper." Sedwick fed his baby with a bottle and reminded Cheng Nuo at the same time.
Ming Nuo looked at the doll's butt in shock, "Poop again?"
He just changed the diaper.
Even amidst the noisy crying, Sedwick remained calm and composed, showing no impatience. "Baby formula has a high water content, and newborns lack self-awareness, so they can't control their weak sphincters to defecate. This is normal."
Mingnuo changed the doll's diaper and admired Sedwick. "You are so emotionally stable."
"To vent anger without thinking about solutions is a sign of an underdeveloped brain."
Sedwick glanced pointedly at the boy who had been kicked out. "It's important for people to have self-awareness, but this guy obviously doesn't have that. It's a good thing that people like him can't even get a child now, otherwise there would be another traumatized person in the world."
Although Sedwick's words were a bit harsh, Mingnuo nodded in agreement. He couldn't imagine how much psychological pain a child would feel for growing up under the fists of a moody father.
Mingnuo lowered his eyes and patted the doll's back.
Principal Dana inspected the situation in the classroom and occasionally helped correct students' posture in holding babies.
After class, each student carefully carried their doll out of the classroom. Mingnuo and Sedwick waited for Field and Lin Yu outside the door for a while.
After seeing Field, Mingnuo was shocked, "How did you get into this state?"
After just two hours of class, Field looked visibly more haggard. There was even the doll's excrement on his clothes. His doll was howling at the top of its lungs, and Field could only accept his fate and pat it on the back.
"Don't mention it..." Field's eyes were dull. "I think I'm going to have a fear of breeding. I guess my nightmares tonight will be all about the crying of babies."
Sedwick: "Are you sure you can sleep tonight?"
His words came true. After one in the morning, the crying in the dormitory never stopped. Once one baby started crying, the other babies would start crying too.
The entire dormitory building was filled with the sound of babies crying.
Ming Nuo held his chin with one hand, his eyelids drooping, but he still had to pat the baby's back. He would cry if he stopped.
Amidst the chaos, Ming Nuo could even hear his peers breaking down and crying, pleading miserably, "Stop crying, stop crying! I'll kneel down for you! I'll kowtow to you! I'll call you daddy! I only beg you to stop crying, wuwuwuwuwuwu..."
Mingnuo sighed.
Oh, another crazy one.
Lin Yu opened her red eyes and walked to Ming Nuo, "Ming Nuo, can I hug you?"
If he didn't get some mental comfort, Lin Yu felt like he was going crazy.
Ming Nuo opened his hands in understanding, "Come on."
Lin Yu hugged Ming Nuo intimately for a few seconds, and his tired spirit was greatly relieved. Fully revived, he once again took on the arduous task of coaxing the child.
Field also urgently needed to recharge, "I want to hug too..."
Ming Nuo held him in his arms like a grown-up child, patted his head, and encouraged him, "Hold on."
Field regained his confidence and said, "Yeah!"
Then Mingnuo looked at Sedwick and asked, "Do you want to hug me?"
Sedwick said "hmm", put the sleeping doll on the bed, stood up and held Mingnuo in his arms.
Mingnuo was surrounded by warm air, and his nostrils were filled with the scent of Sedwick. He was a little dazed, and his stiff hands slowly hugged his waist.
I feel like this spiritual comfort is different from Lin Yu and Field's...
