Chapter 9
After finishing the call with Mons, Bai Nuosi sat on the sofa holding the little black snake. The dormitories for the nursery teachers were all small rooms with one bedroom and one living room.
He sat on the sofa in the living room, opened the door, and while comforting the little black snake, he waited for the caregiver arranged by Mons to come.
Bai Nuosi tried hard to adapt to the contact with the little black snake. People say that snakes are cold-blooded animals, but in fact they are cold-blooded animals, and their body temperature will change with the temperature of the environment.
The temperature in the room is about 27 or 28 degrees Celsius now. The black snake nestled in Bai Nuosi's arms feels cool to the touch and is not as scary as imagined.
Bai Nuosi reached out and stroked the black snake's back, whispering, "Are you thirsty, baby? Do you want some water?"
Having said that, without waiting for the little black snake to respond, Bai Nuosi got up and went to the small open kitchen to pour water.
The cubs were too busy playing to remember anything, let alone drink water.
No one knew where the little black snake came from. Although its body was clean and not covered in mud like the black panther cub, Bai Nuosi didn't know whether it had eaten or drunk.
So let him drink some water first.
Bai Nuosi adjusted the water dispenser to 45 degrees, poured a small bowl of water, and held it up, lowering his head to coax the little black snake: "Baby, come and drink some water, warm water is delicious."
Little black snake: “…”
The little black snake looked at the water that Bai Nuosi was holding, and without hesitation, it immediately lowered its head to drink the water. After drinking a few sips, it turned its head away.
Bai Nuosi had no choice but to put the remaining water aside, then sat back on the sofa holding the snake.
Bai Nuosi was a little worried: "Why doesn't the baby have a nanny? This shouldn't be the case."
The black panther cub had no keeper because he was afraid of contact with people. Several keepers arranged by Mons for him were unable to catch up with the black panther.
That's why it's Bai Nuosi's turn to take care of it.
But is this black snake also afraid of humans?
Bai Nuosi stroked the black snake's head, and the black snake rested its head on Bai Nuosi's shoulder, with its eyes half-closed, looking so comfortable.
Bai Nuosi thought he was going to sleep. After all, it was already midnight and the cubs usually went to bed at around eight or nine. The little black snake must be exhausted after staying up until this time.
Bai Nuosi was walking around the living room holding the little black snake. A dim night light was on in the room. The fragrance of flowers from outside the garden came in through the open door with the night wind. The silvery moon was like a hook, hanging right on the treetops outside the window.
Bai Nuosi looked at the moonlit garden outside the door while he murmured a nursery rhyme: "The moonlight shines on the hall, baby, go to bed quickly; the teacher will teach tomorrow, baby, go to school obediently..."
"As the moon moves, I move too. I make friends with the moon. The moon is as curved as a silver boat, and the river flows quietly under the moon..."
Bai Nuosi recited sentences about the moon slowly and gently for a long time. Usually, a baby would have fallen asleep by this time if he held them like this.
As a result, when Bai Nuosi lowered his head, he met the little black snake's golden eyes.
The little black snake stared at him with its eyes bright and lively, without even a hint of sleepiness at all.
Bai Nuosi: “…”
Bai Nuosi silently sat down on the sofa again.
After reciting so many rhymes, he almost fell asleep!
Bai Nuosi couldn't help but yawn, and glanced at the time with tears in his eyes. It was already half past twelve. He usually went to bed around ten to eleven o'clock, and now it was already past his sleeping time.
He is very sleepy and has to get up early tomorrow.
It was his first day on the job, and he didn't want to be late or go to meetings in a listless state, as that would leave a bad impression on his superiors!
If he himself is listless as a keeper, who would be willing to entrust their cubs to him?
Bai Nuosi held the little black snake in his arms and used his smart bracelet to play a children's lullaby. He clicked on a song for the little black snake, and then the man and the snake sat on the sofa and listened to the lullaby.
However, the little black snake did not sleep at all, and stared at Bai Nuosi very alertly, hugging and cuddling with him from time to time.
Bai Nuosi's eyelids were about to droop, and he was woken up by the little black snake several times.
Bai Nuosi: “…”
Bai Nuosi sighed: "You are really energetic, baby. If you are this energetic every day, Teacher Xiaobai will not be able to bear it."
Fortunately, the black panther cub is very well behaved and falls asleep as soon as he is coaxed. He is truly an angel baby.
Huo Ranchuan, who was standing at the door and happened to hear these words, had a strange look on his face.
Huo Ranchuan stood by the open door, looking at Bai Nuosi who was sitting on the sofa listening to a lullaby and yawning constantly. He instantly disliked Heishe even more.
What a tactless thing! Teacher Xiaobai is so sleepy, but it doesn’t even pretend to be asleep for a while.
If Teacher Xiaobai gets tired, should we let him take the Black Panther cub for a walk?
Huo Ranchuan stood at the door, coughed, and knocked on the door twice.
Bai Nuosi shuddered and woke up instantly.
He turned his head suddenly and looked outside the door, and saw the tall officer who had come with Mons once in the evening coming again.
Bai Nuosi: “…”
This white man with a crew cut is really oppressive, and for some reason, his sharp eyes always make Bai Nuosi feel nervous.
After all, as an omega, Bai Nuosi is always wary of these strong alpha-like men.
He glanced behind Huo Ranchuan and didn't see Mons and others, so at this moment, Huo Ranchuan was the only one standing at his door.
Bai Nuosi hugged the little black snake tightly in his arms and took two cautious steps towards the black panther cub's room. At the same time, he pressed his smart bracelet and stared at Huo Ranchuan: "You, what's wrong with you?"
Huo Ranchuan looked at Bai Nuosi's cautious actions and couldn't help but reflect, is he really that unkind of a good person?
Is Bai Nuosi worried that he will break into the house and steal the cub?
Every time I see him, he looks wary.
Huo Ranchuan looked at the spiritual body Teng Snake, who was gently held in Bai Nuosi's arms, with a complicated expression.
He looked at Bainosi and slowed down his tone, trying to make himself look less fierce, at least not like a bad guy: "Mons asked me to pick it up."
Bai Nuosi was extremely surprised. He looked at Huo Ranchuan, then at the little black snake in his arms, his eyes filled with suspicion: "Are you here to pick up the little black snake? But you don't look like a keeper."
Huo Ranchuan's face was stern, and his gentle expression was about to break. "It has a bad temper, is irritable and angry, and likes to bite people. No caregiver is willing to take care of it, so I have to come here."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves. Although the little black snake nestled in Bai Nuosi's arms was very reluctant, after feeling the main body's anger in its spiritual sea, it still crawled down from Bai Nuosi's arms in shame.
Bai Nuosi: “…”
Bai Nuosi looked at the little black snake, then at Huo Ranchuan: "But he's obviously very well-behaved and quiet. He doesn't look like someone who would get angry and hurt anyone."
Huo Ranchuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the innocent and harmless Teacher Xiaobai, and deliberately frightened him: "It's just pretending to be good to trick you. When you fall asleep, it will eat you up in one gulp."
Bai Nuosi: “…”
Little black snake: “…”
Huo Ranchuan felt a little embarrassed by his joke. He touched his nose and said, "Why, Teacher Xiaobai doesn't believe it? Then do you want to help take care of it tonight?"
Bai Nuosi: “…”
The little black snake lay on the ground, raised its head high, and looked at Bai Nuosi, with anticipation in its bright golden eyes.
Please, please, it really doesn't want to go back with that rotten owner at all, okay!
You actually say it will bite people, but it’s not a dog!
Besides, if it really bites someone one day, it must be because its owner has gone crazy!
Bai Nuosi looked at the little snake on the ground, feeling a little conflicted.
He hesitated and said, "I..."
After a pause, he looked at Huo Ranchuan and asked carefully: "Don't you have a caretaker for him now? You are from the patrol team, right? Can you take care of the cubs? You are not taking care of this baby snake now, are you?"
Huo Ranchuan crossed his arms and looked at Bai Nuosi's worried expression, which he found quite cute.
How could there be any doubts about a simple and lovely teacher who cares so much about the kids?
Huo Ranchuan felt that Teacher Xiaobai could be excluded from the suspicious list.
Huo Ranchuan replied: "I won't make any arrangements for it for now. It belongs to the patrol team, so it is indeed under my control."
Bai Nuosi: “…”
Bai Nuosi looked at Huo Ranchuan with some disdain, thinking, even if Huo Ranchuan could take care of the cub, he couldn't be allowed to do so. Look at how scoundrel-like he is, maybe he would even beat the child...
Fortunately, Huo Ranchuan didn’t know Bai Nuosi’s inner thoughts, otherwise he would really have to plead for himself. After all, he really doesn’t beat children.
Huo Ranchuan whistled at the little black snake on the ground: "What are you standing there for? Come here quickly, go back."
Bai Nuo Si: “!!!”
Bai Nuosi stared at Huo Ranchuan with eyes wide open. This guy actually whistled at the little kid!
The little cub must never be handed over to him!
Bai Nuosi pursed his lips, his brows furrowed in knots.
The little black snake, on the other hand, seemed to have long been accustomed to Huo Ranchuan's tone. Although it was reluctant to leave Teacher Xiaobai, it still turned its head obediently and crawled to Huo Ranchuan's side.
Huo Ranchuan said to Tengshe in his mind: I thought you were reluctant to come back?
Teng Snake: “…”
Teng Snake looked at Huo Ranchuan with grievance. It was obvious that the master liked Teacher Xiaobai...
When Tengshe came to Huo Ranchuan, Huo Ranchuan thought that this socially disastrous incident of disguising himself as a cub could finally come to an end. He bent down, grabbed the little black snake as usual, and turned away.
The little black snake was only as thick as Bai Nuosi's arm. When Huo Ranchuan casually picked it up from the ground, it looked very weak, pitiful, and helpless!
Huo Ranchuan and Tengshe were already accustomed to this way of getting along, and neither of them thought there was anything wrong. However, Bai Nuosi, who was standing next to them, was stunned.
This tall man was clearly a patrol member within the nursery, and was assigned to look after the cubs, but he, he was actually so rude to the snake cubs!
Although Bai Nuosi had always been afraid of Huo Ranchuan, he really couldn't help it after seeing what happened to the little black snake!
Bai Nuosi mustered up his courage, chased to the door, and shouted, "Wait, wait a moment!"
Huo Ranchuan turned around in surprise, still holding the little black snake in his hand, looking a little dazed.
The little black snake's head was stuck in Huo Ranchuan's tiger's mouth. Its long body swayed with Huo Ranchuan's movements, and it also looked at Teacher Xiaobai eagerly.
Bai Nuosi's heart tightened when he saw this.
How could he know that the little black snake cub in Huo Ranchuan's hand was actually a fierce Teng Snake that was dozens of meters long, thicker than a human body, with two horns on its head and two wings on its back.
Its combat capability is even more ferocious than that of a mecha, and it does not feel uncomfortable at all when being carried by Huo Ranchuan like this.
Bai Nuosi was extremely distressed. He pointed at Huo Ranchuan and mustered up the courage to say, "How can you be so rude to the cub? Put it down!"
Huo Ranchuan: “…”
Huo Ranchuan saw that Bai Nuosi was really angry, and the look in his eyes was full of blame and disgust. Huo Ranchuan realized it a little later.
He glanced at the black snake in his hand, then at Bai Nuosi, who was glaring at him with his black jade eyes. After two seconds of silence, he silently picked up the little black snake and placed it on his shoulder. He stroked the little black snake's back twice with stiff movements and looked at Bai Nuosi: "Is this okay, Teacher Xiaobai?"
Huo Ranchuan said "Teacher Xiaobai" in a low voice, even with a hint of caution.
Seeing him like this, Bai Nuosi didn't know what to say, but the image of the officer in front of him was no longer reliable in his eyes, especially when it came to taking care of the cubs!
He looked at the little black snake lying obediently on Huo Ranchuan's shoulder, pursed his lips and said, "I'm an intermediate childcare worker here. I have a qualification in early childhood education and have studied infant nutrition and complementary feeding as well as early childhood psychological counseling. Although the regulations here require one-on-one care, I'm confident that I can take good care of both babies. You can leave the little black snake with me first. I'll call Director Mons to explain the situation."
Bai Nuosi looked at Huo Ranchuan: "Anyway, you're not suitable to take care of a kid, right? You're a guard, and early childhood education isn't your specialty. Besides, you have to be on duty, train, and so on... You can't just take a kid to the training ground and have him fight and kill, right?"
At this point, Bai Nuosi seemed to really see the scene of Huo Ranchuan holding a baby black snake in one hand and a laser pistol in the other, fighting against people, his face full of fear and anxiety.
Huo Ranchuan: “…”
Huo Ranchuan was silent.
Huo Ranchuan was really impressed by Bai Nuosi. The key point was that he had no way to refute it!
Things like spiritual bodies were originally kept secret, and it was a law he set himself.
Now, he was in a dilemma and couldn't explain himself. His first impression on Bai Nuosi must have been extremely bad.
Bai Nuosi walked over cautiously. Under the moonlight, his skin was fair and smooth, his lips were red, and his soft black hair draped over his forehead made him look very young.
Bai Nuosi's height only reaches Huo Ranchuan's shoulders. There's nothing he can do about it, Omegas never have an advantage in height.
Huo Ranchuan looked at Bai Nuosi who was approaching, smelled the fragrance on his body, saw him carefully raise his head, and asked Huo Ranchuan: "So, can you hand over the little black snake to me? I will definitely take good care of him."
It's better than being dragged around by Huo Ranchuan by the head.
Huo Ranchuan exchanged a glance with the black snake in his hand. When Bai Nuosi's gaze met his, he subconsciously extended his hand and sent his spiritual body Teng Snake over.
Bai Nuosi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took the black snake, held it gently in his arms, turned around and ran, and in the blink of an eye he was back in his room and quickly closed the door.
I was so nervous that I even forgot to say thank you.
Huo Ranchuan: “….”
Huo Ranchuan looked at his empty hands, then at the tightly closed door. He stood in the dewy garden, and it took him a long time to react.
Look at what he has done.
What are you doing here tonight?
