Chapter 89
It seemed as if everyone expected that Teacher Xiaobai would be selected as the Person of the Year. After all, nothing major happened in the Empire this year. The only major event was the trial operation of the Rose Nursery.
Huo Ranchuan's reputation can be said to be mixed, and the appearance of Teacher Xiaobai can be said to have saved the Rose Nursery.
If it weren't for a gentle and patient caregiver like him who is recognized by the cubs, who knows what would have happened to the cubs in the nursery.
The audience is convinced that even if a childcare teacher replaces Teacher Xiaobai to broadcast live, it may not create such a sensational effect.
This incident became a hot topic, with hundreds of millions of comments in just half a day. Countless people wanted to go to the Imperial Military Academy to meet Teacher Xiaobai, but unfortunately, the Imperial Military Academy was very strict. Unless they were current students, they could get tickets to visit, and other ordinary people could not enter at all.
Although Bai Nuosi was selected, he didn't seem to feel any sense of participation.
The main thing is that apart from the previous interview, he even handled the online voting and application process entirely on the behalf of the Rose Nursery, and he did nothing himself.
Including now, regarding the matter of him receiving the award, Huo Ranchuan negotiated directly in person, and the selection committee members could only nod and dared not say anything in front of General Huo.
Bai Nuosi listened to a few words and then looked down to see the little lion asleep. The little white tiger was also dozing off on the sofa. So, he carried the little lion to the sofa and placed it next to the little white tiger. He whispered to them, "Babies, go to sleep."
The little white tiger glanced at the little lion, then lay down and fell asleep.
Bai Nuosi covered the two cubs with a blanket, and then sat on the sofa holding the baby snakes. When the judging panel saw this, they were all shocked. Although they had seen it in the live broadcast room a long time ago, it was still too shocking to see Teacher Xiaobai taking care of the S-level cubs and holding the spirit body of Commander Huo in his arms.
They couldn't help but look at Teacher Xiaobai and then at Huo Ranchuan, and they all guessed the identities of Teacher Xiaobai and Commander Huo in their hearts.
After the matter was settled, the committee members left. Huo Ranchuan walked out of the office and looked at Teacher Xiaobai sitting in the rest area, as well as the little lion and little white tiger sleeping on the sofa. He whispered, "Do you want to go back?"
Bai Nuosi glanced at the time. The two cubs had only slept for more than half an hour. He didn't look at Huo Ranchuan, but lowered his head to look at the two cubs and whispered, "Let them sleep for a while. We can go back in an hour."
Cubs need to secrete growth hormone during sleep. Only by getting more sleep and sleeping well can they grow taller and bigger.
Normally, when the cubs feel sleepy and want to sleep, Bai Nuosi will not disturb them. What's more, the little lion and the little white tiger are sleepy by nature. Even the baby snake sleeps very little and does not sleep much during the day except at night.
Bai Nuosi paused after speaking, then asked, "Is this okay, Headmaster? Will it bother you?"
This lounge is in Huo Ranchuan's office. I wonder if he would mind.
Huo Ranchuan waved his hand: "No, let them sleep, I am your assistant now."
As he spoke, he began to pour water for Bai Nuosi and brought over some snacks.
Being alone with Huo Ranchuan, Bai Nuosi was still a little embarrassed. He glanced at the busy Huo Ranchuan and silently hugged the baby snake in his arms.
Huo Ranchuan hesitated for a few seconds and sat down on the sofa opposite Teacher Xiaobai. He touched his nose and wanted to say something. However, Bai Nuosi, who was sitting opposite him, was more nervous than him.
In other words, when you're alone with a man, don't watch movies or anything like that! He used to be quite comfortable with Director Huo, but now whenever he sees Director Huo, he starts asking, "Can an omega be marked by an orc?"
It's so embarrassing!
To be honest, Bainosi didn't know whether he could be marked by the orcs. He had never understood such things. Anyone who combined with an alien human would be spurned by the family and driven out of the planet.
Bai Nuosi has always wanted to make money, not only to buy himself a house and find a stable place to settle down, but also to consider that if he finds a partner from another galaxy and is really driven out of the planet in the future, he can also give himself enough sense of security.
Huo Ranchuan suddenly said, "Teacher Xiaobai, I'm very sorry for offending you last night."
Bai Nuosi was startled by his sudden words. After realizing that Huo Ranchuan was apologizing, his face flushed and he said with a stuttering tone, "No, it's okay..."
Huo Ranchuan was watching him from the opposite side. When he heard him say that, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Teacher Xiaobai. I was afraid you would be angry."
Bai Nuosi: “…”
Thank you, he couldn't respond to that.
Bai Nuosi nervously began to pull the baby snake's tail. Tengshe looked up at Huo Ranchuan, then at Teacher Xiaobai, with an innocent look on his face.
Huo Ranchuan knew that Teacher Xiaobai felt uncomfortable facing him, so after apologizing, he immediately left the lounge.
As soon as Huo Ranchuan left, Bai Nuosi breathed a sigh of relief.
He hugged Teng Snake and whispered, "The director is finally gone. It was so embarrassing just now!"
Baby snake: "..."
The baby snake sighed, thinking that the main body was really useless and couldn’t even get a wife. If Huo Ranchuan’s partner was not Teacher Xiaobai, it would really make a fuss!
*
On the day Bai Nuosi set out to receive the award, he wore a neat uniform and brought his work card. Before leaving, he carefully prepared nutritious complementary foods for the three babies.
I brought them milk and a small blanket, as well as cut fruit, freshly baked bread, a kettle, a towel, etc. I brought everything the babies needed to eat and use.
Chen Min watched the excitement outside the door and asked Huo Ranchuan: "Little cutie is going to receive the award today. Will the ID card be available soon?"
Huo Ranchuan was wearing a military uniform and standing at the door, looking a little irritated.
Chen Min gloated and said, "Don't worry, I'll explain it to him for you when the time comes. He'll understand."
Chen Min: "At worst, he can just ignore you and Teng Snake in the future. It doesn't matter. He still has the Golden Eagle. It hasn't cheated him anyway, right?"
Huo Ranchuan: “…”
Huo Ranchuan was very annoyed, but Chen Min was right. The Golden Eagle hadn't deceived Teacher Xiaobai. The Golden Eagle had even expressed his affection for her. Chen Min was not bad looking...
Huo Ranchuan suddenly became a little anxious.
Teacher Xiaobai couldn't hold the three cubs, and the little white tiger wouldn't let him hold them. The little lion was chubby and noisy, so Bai Nuosi bought a rectangular cart online, just like a shopping cart. He pushed it from behind, and the three babies were placed in the rectangular cart box.
He pushed the babies out, and Chen Min was the first to speak: "Wow, Teacher Xiaobai is pushing a cart full of children."
Bai Nuosi recognized Chen Min and said a little embarrassedly: "I have to go out today. I'm worried that the babies will get lost outside. It would be better to put them all in the car."
The little white tiger squatted in the truck bed with a serious expression, feeling a little shocked that he had to ride in this kind of vehicle.
Huo Ranchuan has become more polite and distant with Teacher Xiaobai these past two days, because Teacher Xiaobai always avoids him and rarely talks to him. He guessed that Teacher Xiaobai probably doesn't like him and feels a little sad, but he doesn't dare to get closer to her for fear of making Teacher Xiaobai unhappy.
So, he just nodded to Bai Nuosi, and then said to Mons behind him: "You take people to escort Teacher Xiaobai, I'm leaving first."
Chen Min looked at Huo Ranchuan, who was walking in a hurry, and muttered softly: "This guy is a little abnormal."
On the other side, at the Imperial Military Academy, the square was already packed with people.
Many people were holding live broadcast balls and broadcasting live. Not only were all the freshmen of the military academy here, but non-freshmen were also here. These students did not catch up with the Rose Nursery School and experienced painful training. They were very yearning for Teacher Xiaobai.
Qin Yuxing had just been released from the solitary confinement room, and he hurriedly spent a large sum of money to buy a seat in the first row!
Not only did he buy it for himself, he also bought it for Song Hengye!
Before arriving at school, he made a video call to Song Hengye. Song Hengye had not been officially discharged from the hospital yet, but he was urged by him to return to school from the hospital.
As soon as he entered the school gate, Qin Yuxing ran towards the square: "Song Hengye! Where are you! Damn, you said you would wait for me at the gate, but..."
A figure suddenly appeared and grabbed the cursing Young Master Qin. Song Hengye pointed with a stern face, "The award ceremony address is over there."
Qin Yuxing ran in the wrong direction.
Qin Yuxing was embarrassed for two seconds, refusing to admit that he had gone in the wrong direction. He said angrily, "It's all your fault. I told you to wait for me at the gate, why did you run away?"
Song Hengye had a blank expression on his face and ignored him.
Qin Yuxing ignored him and kept talking: "Hurry, hurry, Teacher Xiaobai will be here in half an hour, we have to hurry, first row! We have to let Teacher Xiaobai see us first!"
After a while, Qin Yuxing said again, "By the way, I wonder if the little lion will have the honor of being carried up by Teacher Xiaobai to receive the award? Do you think Teacher Xiaobai likes the little white tiger or the little lion more? It can't be Teng Snake, right? Pah! If Teacher Xiaobai carries Teng Snake up to receive the award instead of the little lion, I'm going to make a scene!"
Song Hengye: "..."
Song Hengye glanced at Qin Yuxing and sighed helplessly.
Qin Yuxing didn't care. There were too many people in the square. He grabbed Song Hengye's arm and shouted, "Ha ye, don't get separated!"
Song Hengye: "..."
They squeezed into the dense crowd. Qin Yuxing was younger than him and usually slacked off on training. His small frame was jostled by the crowd. Song Hengye couldn't stand it any longer. He tugged hard, then strode forward, instantly bringing Qin Yuxing behind him. He whispered, "Let me do it."
Things like clearing the way were not suitable for Qin Yuxing.
I don’t know how this guy will survive in the army.
Qin Yuxing watched Song Hengye forcefully push through the crowd and lead him smoothly to the front row. He said with satisfaction, "Not bad, haha. It's different after awakening to S-level. You're quite strong."
Song Hengye ignored him.
Qin Yuxing quickly found the seat he had paid for and pulled Song Hengye over to sit down.
These positions are arranged according to rank and student number. In the team of freshmen from the military academy, Qin Yuxing and Song Hengye are both in the back row. There is no way around it, their student number numbers are quite large and this cannot be changed.
So, Qin Yuxing spent money to exchange seats with the students in the front row. After all, he had money and didn't feel bad about spending it.
However, when Qin Yuxing and Song Hengye finally sat down in the front row, Qin Yuxing discovered that the person sitting next to him was another deputy captain, Han Baiyi!
Next to Han Baiyi sat Chu Jiangting!
Qin Yuxing frowned: "That's not right, you, you are not here, right?"
Han Baiyi turned his head and glanced at Qin Yuxing. Knowing that he was the leader of the little lion, he nodded to him politely. They had all met before. Qin Yuxing and Chu Jiangting had even had a quarrel, so they all looked familiar to each other.
Compared to Chu Jiangting, Qin Yuxing was more willing to talk to Han Baiyi. He leaned over and asked in a low voice: "How much did you spend for this position?"
Han Baiyi and Chu Jiangting don’t come from good backgrounds, where do they get so much money?
Han Baiyi was also quite surprised when he heard this. He looked at Qin Yuxing and asked, "Did you buy this position?"
Qin Yuxing was shocked: "What else? I spent 100,000 star coins!"
Although some of the freshmen at the Empire's First Military Academy were short of money, most of them were well-off. It took him a lot of effort just to persuade those two people to change seats for a fee.
Chu Jiangting, who was next to Han Baiyi, heard this and snorted. He looked at Qin Yuxing and said, "Sorry, we didn't spend any money."
Qin Yuxing: "..."
Han Baiyi nodded: "We just politely asked them to change seats, and they agreed."
Qin Yuxing: “???”
Qin Yuxing didn't believe it: "Impossible! I don't believe it!"
Han Baiyi smiled and nodded without saying anything else. Chu Jiangting shrugged his shoulders. If he used his S-class identity to negotiate with others, everything would be much simpler. What's more, among the one thousand freshmen, only four S-class had awakened. They would definitely be the leaders among the freshmen in the military academy in the future. The freshmen would rely on these S-class, whether it was daily training or joining the army after graduation. Doing a favor now would only benefit them in the future.
Qin Yuxing is accustomed to using money to solve problems, and many things are indeed not as comprehensive as Han Baiyi and others think.
Qin Yuxing said indignantly: "Damn it! I wasted 100,000 star coins in vain!"
Song Hengye patted him and said, "Keep your voice down. It's about to begin."
Teacher Xiaobai pushed the stroller full of babies and finally arrived at the Empire's First Military Academy.
Looking at the dense crowd in the square, he was stunned: "Why are there so many people?"
Didn’t they say that only some students were there, and they just had to receive the award and say a few words?
This situation doesn't seem like something that can be dealt with by just a few words!
He suddenly became nervous.
Huo Ranchuan did not come in. When he was outside the military academy, he found something wrong and started to investigate the area around the Imperial Army's news with his guard team.
The adjutant said seriously, "Commander, it must be those people from last time who are here again. You predicted it right."
Last time, those people wanted to kidnap Teacher Xiaobai, but they failed and lost several A-level personnel.
Huo Ranchuan expected that they would find an opportunity sooner or later.
Some of the pirates have very high bounty levels, and the huge bounty will make the pirates and mercenaries fight to the death.
If Teacher Xiaobai is put on a huge bounty list, then as soon as he leaves the Rose Nursery, those people will wait for an opportunity to strike.
However, along the way, because Huo Ranchuan was escorting them, those people did not take any action. They just hid in the crowd and Huo Ranchuan had no way to clearly identify them.
Huo Ranchuan was flying a plane, guarding the sky above the Imperial Military Academy, and whispered, "They don't dare to act in the military academy. When we return later, we must strengthen the security."
The adjutant nodded immediately and began patrolling around the Imperial Military Academy with the air guard.
The host introduced Teacher Xiaobai to everyone on the stage. No one present didn't know Teacher Xiaobai, but every time they saw Teacher Xiaobai's photo, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.
How can there be such a gentle, beautiful, patient and skilled nanny who is also good at taking care of puppies!
This kind of childcare teacher should be promoted throughout the empire!
Looking at the pictures of Teacher Xiaobai holding various cubs on the big screen, Qin Yuxing said proudly, "Look, look, there are so many cubs, but the little lion is the cutest."
Han Baiyi: "..."
Chu Jiangting snorted coldly. On such an important occasion, he really didn't want to quarrel with Qin Yuxing!
The little lion is naughty and sleepy, not as cute as the panda cub. Teacher Xiaobai named the panda cub Qiuqiu. This is the only baby among the four cubs that Teacher Xiaobai named personally!
It can be imagined that the panda cub has a special place in Teacher Xiaobai’s heart!
In the official live broadcast room of the selection team, the audience was going crazy:
[Ah ...
[Family! I saw my wife! She's wearing a white uniform and is watching over the little ones from the side!]
Wuhu! Family members, are there really so many new students at the military academy? Are there really only a thousand students here?
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Of course, it's not just this year's freshmen, but also those from previous years who have come to join in the fun. And next year's candidates are also excited to come see Teacher Xiaobai. After all, they'll be adults next year, and maybe they can get into the Imperial Military Academy and even get Teacher Xiaobai to be their childcare teacher!]
[Wow, Teacher Xiaobai is standing there alone with his three puppies. They are so well-behaved and adorable. I want to lift them up high!]
…
Mons stood beside Teacher Xiaobai and whispered, "Teacher Xiaobai, there are too many people here. Except for going on stage to receive the award, you must not leave my side, understand?"
Bai Nuosi didn't see Huo Ranchuan, and he was actually a little disappointed. After all, Huo Ranchuan had said before that he would personally take him to receive the award. He thought that Director Huo would accompany him throughout the whole process like he did during the interview.
Bai Nuosi nodded and said, "Okay, Director Mons, the cubs will stay here. Please take care of them later."
Mons was followed by a dozen guards, and the majority of the spirit cubs were sitting in the audience. Mons was not worried about the cubs at all, he was only worried about Teacher Xiaobai.
Mons nodded: "Don't worry, Xiaobai, I will take good care of them."
However, just as Teacher Xiaobai was about to take the stage, the little lion suddenly stood on its hind legs, grabbed the edge of the cart, and tried to climb onto Teacher Xiaobai's body. As it struggled to climb, it said, "Baibai, hug me."
Bai Nuosi whispered, "Xingxing, the teacher has something to do soon. Can I hug you after I finish that?"
Of course not. The little lion wants to be hugged at this time because he wants Teacher Xiaobai to hold him on the stage to receive the award.
In this very important occasion for Teacher Xiaobai, it must be with Teacher Xiaobai. By then, all the reports on the Internet will be photos of it and Teacher Xiaobai, without the little black panther, the panda Qiuqiu, and even the baby snake!
This is Teacher Xiaobai’s favorite cub!
Sensing the little lion's intention, Teng Snake, which had been curled up obediently in the stroller, suddenly raised its head. It glared at the little lion who was acting cute and even rolling around, and began to crawl into Teacher Xiaobai's arms.
The little lion was still rolling on the ground, its hind legs constantly kicking at the innocent little white tiger: "Baibai, hug, hug, hug! Xingxing wants a hug!"
The little lion turned over and continued to act crazy: "I want a hug, I want a hug, I want a hug!"
Bai Nuosi: “…”
The little white tiger took two steps back expressionlessly, almost sticking to the car wall, speechless at the little lion's behavior.
The silent baby snake crawled into Teacher Xiaobai's arms without saying a word.
Bai Nuosi was extremely troubled: "Oh, the teacher will be busy later."
At this moment, the host on the stage finally finished introducing Teacher Xiaobai and invited Teacher Xiaobai to the stage amid warm applause.
Seeing Bai Nuosi's embarrassment, Meng Si immediately came over and whispered, "Teacher Xiaobai, you go up. I'll take care of the cubs."
When the little lion heard this, he cried out "Ao" and stopped rolling around. He lay on the fence of the cart and looked at Teacher Xiaobai with tears in his eyes. He looked so pitiful.
Bai Nuosi sighed, "The babies might be suffering from separation anxiety, Director Mons. How about I bring the babies up on stage with me? My profession is a childcare worker, and I can't rest as long as the babies are around. I think everyone can understand me."
Meng Si looked at the little lion who was acting cute and pitiful, then looked at Teng Snake nestled in Teacher Xiaobai's arms. He scratched his head and said helplessly, "Okay, Teacher Xiaobai, don't worry, no one dares to say anything to you. If anyone does, tell me and I'll go find him."
Bai Nuosi thanked them gratefully, and then very fairly placed the three pups in the stroller, without holding any one in his arms or leaving any behind. With the host's repeated calls, he felt a little embarrassed and nervous as he pushed the stroller onto the stage.
As soon as the audience saw Teacher Xiaobai, they exclaimed one after another.
Many people whispered, "Oh my god, this is my wife, Teacher Xiaobai! She's even cuter in person than on the live broadcast! Her skin is so white that it seems to be glowing."
"Yeah, he's so small and looks so cute. His hair and eyes are black. He looks like a doll."
"Oh my god, when I get into the military academy next year, can I apply to become Mr. Xiaobai's student?"
"Wuhu! The little white tiger in the cart is Deputy Captain Song Hengye, right? And the little lion is Young Master Qin? Holy shit! The baby snake is here too!"
When talking about the baby snake, everyone lowered their voices at the same time: "It is said that it is General Huo's spirit body, the Teng Snake!"
"Is there any solid evidence? Wasn't it just speculation from the audience in the live broadcast room last time?"
"There's no evidence, but the online discussion has become a hot topic. Neither General Huo nor the Rose Nursery has refuted the rumor, so it's probably true!"
…
The students below were talking about it, but Teacher Xiaobai's ears turned red with embarrassment. Being stared at by thousands of eyes below, he was a little nervous and very uncomfortable.
Everyone looked at him eagerly, as if he were some hot commodity.
The host came over excitedly, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the three puppies in the stroller. "Hello, Teacher Xiaobai! Are you bringing your puppies with you to receive the award this time?"
Bai Nuo Si said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, the little lion and the baby snake have some separation anxiety... Sorry, is it inappropriate?"
The host immediately shook his head: "How could that be? No one minds!"
That is, this little lion has separation anxiety, is it true?
Countless viewers went to see Qin Yuxing quietly.
Qin Yuxing: "..."
Qin Yuxing's ears flushed red as he whispered to Song Hengye, "What are they looking at? Damn it! Is it not okay for this young master not to leave Teacher Xiaobai?"
At this time, Teacher Xiaobai on the stage also saw several boys sitting in the first row below the stage. Huh?
Why do these boys look so familiar?
