Chapter 44 Danheng's Love Training
By dinner time, you had taken off that tulle skirt and changed into a turtleneck shirt.
You deliberately avoided eating with everyone else and hid in a corner to recharge, but you still got caught red-handed.
"Mommy!" The raccoon's voice startled you, almost causing you to drop your bowl and chopsticks.
"...What's wrong?" You try your best to remain calm.
"Why aren't you eating with everyone? Why are you hiding here all by yourself?" the raccoon asked innocently.
"The scenery here is beautiful..."
The Trail Blazers quickly surveyed their surroundings; there was nothing there except for the blue wallpaper.
"Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
"No……"
"Then why don't you dare look at me? Is it because you don't like that dress? Or are you angry because March and I forced you to try it on?"
"How could that be? I'm just a little tired and need to find a place to rest. You're a good child, you understand your mother, right?"
"Okay..." You quickly dismissed the raccoon with a few words, and only then did you feel relieved. After quickly replenishing your energy, you hid in your room.
...
Since your first close encounter with Dan Heng at the think tank yesterday, your relationship with him has started to progress rapidly.
[Innocent Little Dragon is Hot: I'm going back to Pinocchio to check out today. Is there anything you want? I can bring it back with me.]
You: I heard that Pinocchio has something called a dream bubble that can store different dreams.
【Pure Little Dragon Hot: I've heard a little about it, I'll look for something suitable for you later.】

This guy can now send all sorts of embarrassing emojis without batting an eye, congratulations!
Today, only you and Pam are left on the train. With nothing to do, you decide to give your room a thorough cleaning.
Instead of just thinking about it, you turned off private chat, opened your music player, selected a playlist, and started tidying up your clutter.
Don't let the small size of the room fool you; it's surprisingly spacious.
Looking at the room piled high with clothes and clutter, you can't help but facepalm; this is probably a huge undertaking.
In the past, when you traveled alone, you always packed light and kept things as simple as possible. Now that you've settled in, you've started buying all sorts of things. Besides the necessities, you've also acquired many useless but enjoyable items.
Besides what you bought yourself, many of the items were given to you by the train crew.
Pam gave you a super comfortable four-piece bedding set, saying she wants you to get a good night's sleep every day. Himeko prepared an old phonograph for you, saying it allows you to listen to sounds from the past.
□□ gave you a model of the Starry Sky Train, which is still displayed in the most prominent place in your room.
As for the Trail Blazers and March 7th, they sent even more. Food, clothing, and daily necessities—there was nothing they couldn't think of.
The two kids always want to share their good things with you, and after you got your own room, they became even more unrestrained, piling up boxes of all sizes at your door, just waiting for you to open them and discover the surprises.
Danheng then gave you a small think tank processing device so you could access the think tank's data at any time.
Well, the gift is quite befitting of his status.
Each item is filled with memories. As you sort through them, you recall the scene when you first acquired them, and your heart is filled with emotion.
You dare not recall the past, whether it was happy or not.
The past was both a beautiful dream and a nightmare for you.
Cruel reality shatters them, telling you that the past is like smoke, fleeting and ephemeral.
But things are different now.
You begin to carefully remember every memory. Happy, sad, embarrassing... these make up a part of you and shape who you are today.
As I pondered, messages began to pop up.

【Innocent Little Dragon Hot: The scenery here is very nice, I think you will like it】
[You: They're all so beautiful, you really know how to take pictures]
[Pure Little Dragon is Hot: There's still a part that's going to be included in the think tank. I'll send you a more detailed version once it's finished compiling.]
[You: That's awesome, thumbs up for the model worker!]

After chatting with Danheng for a while, you turned off your phone and continued tidying up the room.
...
Time flies, and just as Danheng knocked on the door, you were putting the last book back on the shelf.
Pushing open the door, Danheng stood outside carrying large and small bags, clearly having come straight to your room as soon as he got back on the train.
You take the bag from his hand and invite him in to sit down.
The latter obediently followed you into the room, silently surveying his surroundings.
The layout is familiar, but the arrangement is unfamiliar, clearly indicating that it has been reorganized.
You poured him a glass of water and then sat down to chat with him.
"Is everything done?" you ask, initiating the conversation.
"Yes, the check-out procedures have been completed, and only the follow-up work remains. However, we will leave these to Mr. □□ and Ms. Himeko; we do not need to get involved."
"Such a big thing happened in Pinocchio, and I couldn't help at all." If it weren't for your special physical condition, how could you have been hiding in the back and slacking off?
“Don’t say that. You’ve already done a lot. There was a reason for this, and it’s not your fault,” Danheng comforted her. “I brought some Pinocchio souvenirs, all local specialties.”
As Danheng spoke, he laid out the items from the packaging bag one by one on the table, explaining their origin and purpose to you.
"This is a Watch Boy figure, Pinocchio's most influential cartoon character."
The little doll with a clock head looks adorably silly. After winding it up, it moves in circles on the table while saying, "Tick-tock, welcome to Pinocchio."
"They're quite cute." You smiled knowingly as you fiddled with the little doll.
Immediately afterwards, Danheng took out two more bottles of orange beverage.
He said it was a specialty of Pinocchio – Sorida soda.
This soda also has a catchy advertising slogan: "Drink this bottle of Sulda, and your happy dreams will arrive quickly."
You don't find the advertisement funny just by reading the lines, until Danheng shows you the video, and then you realize how abstract it is.
In the video, a billboard with the word "Sulda" is surrounded by Dan Heng singing and dancing. The catchy song, combined with the exaggerated physical movements of the billboard, unexpectedly achieves a comedic effect.
"Haha...that's hilarious..." you laugh out loud as you watch the video. "So, how did you finally get rid of it?"
"I kicked it," a certain dragon replied to you in a serious tone.
"Pfft... I didn't know you had such a childish side. I really want to see it with my own eyes..."
"..." Dan Heng coughed lightly after being teased, and then changed the subject.
"This is a dream bubble. I chose a dream bubble with roses and poetry, which can help you sleep peacefully."
An irregular blue sphere lay quietly in Dan Heng's hand. It was only the size of a palm and had a dreamy blue-purple hue flowing inside, making it very eye-catching.
"So this is the Dream Bubble. It's so small..." You carefully took the Dream Bubble from Dan Heng's hand and examined it closely.
"This is the instruction manual for opening the Dream Bubble. I've summarized it briefly to make it easier for you to operate." Danheng thoughtfully prepared everything for you.
"That's so thoughtful! No wonder you're the great Teacher Danheng." You immediately showered him with compliments, and he calmly accepted them, clearly pleased with your words.
In addition, there are many other souvenirs, all of which are Pinocone's specialties.
Danheng did his best to bring back everything he could, just to make up for your regret of not being able to experience Pinocchio firsthand.
"Thank you, Danheng." You sincerely thanked him for his thoughtfulness.
"Because it's you, it's worth it."
These eight simple words encapsulate all of Danheng's lifelong learning.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved when I first heard Danheng say sweet words.
From a cold and aloof protector who keeps everyone at arm's length to a pure and loving war god who can speak sweet words, this dragon's love training has been remarkably successful, which is truly commendable.
When the latter saw you looking at him with a relieved expression, he wondered if he had done something wrong.
That shouldn't be the case.
Danheng decided to throw the book away when he got back.
What a terrible book! It's harmful and misleading.
