Susu finally got up from her seat, her little legs taking big strides as she followed Tantai Ming out of the classroom with gusto,

Watching the two leave, Chu Yanxi’s brows furrowed involuntarily, a sense of unease and trepidation rising in her heart.

She couldn’t quite pinpoint what she was worried about.

Perhaps it was because she knew so little about Tantai Ming, and now he was her only pillar of support! f\reewebn ovel(.)com

Susu followed Tantai Ming into the office next door.

Her little face was full of confusion as she looked at the new male teacher in front of her.

He was indeed quite handsome!

But not as handsome as her little brother!

She already had a little brother who was so handsome, so this one was just so-so!

"Mr. Ming, what do you want me for?" Susu asked, her voice both tender and commanding.

Tantai Ming squatted down to bring his eyes level with Susu’s.

Meanwhile, the corner of his eye caught sight of He Beimu standing by the office window, his movements were secretive and unlikely to draw attention.

But wherever Susu went, he would follow, always keeping a watchful eye on her situation.

Beyond that, Tantai Ming even keenly noticed a little kitten hidden in He Beimu’s arms.

He Beimu, outside the window, was just as Tantai Ming imagined, watching every move in the room, not letting his guard down for a second even though the person inside was a teacher from Susu’s kindergarten.

Tucked inside Beimu’s hoodie, Tiger stealthily poked its head out from his collar to sneak a peek at the outside world.

Previously, when Susu left for school, Tiger could only wait at home for her.

But lately, it had found a good way to stay close—by clinging to He Beimu.

This way, it could always be with its little master and also have fun with He Beimu, a win-win situation.

Meow~

Everything is safe around here!

Little master is safe!

It can continue sleeping now!

Then Tiger tucked its head back in and nestled into He Beimu’s hoodie to sleep soundly.

Tantai Ming withdrew his gaze from the person outside the window, his full attention returning to Susu, and he said with a smile, "Because you’re especially smart and capable, there’s a little activity I would like you to participate in."

"A little activity? What’s that?" Susu asked.

Although Mr. Ming had complimented her, she wasn’t familiar with him yet and wouldn’t trust him easily.

She was now a person of principles! She only trusted people with a white aura!

She couldn’t see Mr. Ming’s aura now!

She couldn’t decide if he was a good person or a bad one!

"It’s a city-organized obstacle crossing competition for kids, and each kindergarten will send children to participate. Our kindergarten needs to send someone too, and the teachers think that you have the best physical strength and the strongest climbing skills, so we’d like you to represent our Hongfeng Kindergarten in the competition. Would you like to do that, Susu?"

Tantai Ming explained with a beaming smile, using the playful tone common among kindergarten teachers when talking to children.

"I don’t want to! Let someone else participate! Haohao can do it! Please let Haohao go!" Susu rejected and recommended Zhuo Hao to Tantai Ming.

Among her classmates, besides her own exceptional abilities, it was Haohao who had the best physical strength!

"Why not? Don’t you want to win an honor for competing? You would represent our Hongfeng Kindergarten, you know!" Tantai Ming asked gently, still smiling.

"I don’t want to win against them!"

If she was going to win, she would win against the big bad guys! Winning against human cubs is not glorious at all!

"Oh? You don’t want to win against them; whom do you want to beat then?" Tantai Ming asked tentatively.
