Chunya Kindergarten, Douding Class.
After a few rounds of the game, the children gradually lost interest. No matter how much Du Rui tried to motivate them, they wouldn't listen. With one human cub leading the charge, all the cubs started clamoring for their parents.
Among them, the most cheerful one was a little girl with a bob haircut, shouting "Mommy, Mommy" non-stop with her big mouth.
Zheng Yuanyuan was speechless and covered her mouth with one hand: "What are you making a fuss about?"
The girl with the bob haircut is named Yu Jiaojiao, Zheng Yuanyuan's biological daughter. She has a round head and round eyes, and is as cute as a doll. Seeing the other children around her clamoring for their parents, she joined in the fun. When her mother covered her mouth, she chuckled and said, "It's fun."
Zheng Yuanyuan was speechless.
She glanced anxiously toward the window, wondering if it was a solar eclipse, there would be at least some sunlight shining through by now. Why was it still so dark?
Not only is it dark, but the temperature is also getting lower and lower.
"Teacher, when can we go out and find Mom and Dad?" Fang Xinyue, with her pigtails, cried, her eyes red and her voice tinged with tears. Normally, she was the boldest and most lively child in the class, but now even she was frightened and started crying. The panic spread like a cold, from one child to another, until all the children started crying.
Zheng Yuanyuan was already worried, and when she heard the child crying, she became even more anxious. She rubbed her arms and looked at Du Rui: "Teacher Du, why don't we use our mobile phones to light the way to send the children out? It's not a good idea to let them stay here." She thought to herself that the parents at the door were really patient. They didn't even come in to pick up the children in such a situation.
Du Rui froze for a moment, feeling somewhat awkward. He stammered, "Let's wait for Teacher Qi to come back." He then walked to the back of the classroom and moved the children's beds down one by one, shouting, "Everyone, come and cover yourself with blankets. Don't freeze."
"No, I want to go find my mom!" Wang Xiaohu lost his patience and ran to the door with his schoolbag on his back. Just as he turned the handle to open a crack, Du Rui ran over and pressed the door shut.
Du Rui usually has no expression on his face, and the children are all afraid of him. Now that he frowns, it's even scarier.
Wang Xiaohu withdrew his hand nervously.
"Go, put down your schoolbag and find your own bed." Du Rui said in a deliberately cold voice.
Wang Xiaohu uttered an "oh" and ran to his little bed dejectedly. He threw the Ultraman backpack to the side of the bed and pulled up his little quilt to cover himself.
Du Rui glanced at the other nine cubs. If there was an obedient Wang Xiaohu, there would be a second, a third... Finally, the children, unable to withstand the cold, all put down their schoolbags and lay down obediently on their beds.
A few minutes later, Zhao Yizhe, who had been frowning in thought, suddenly spoke up: "Teacher, I don't think this is a solar eclipse."
He is the most studious child in his class and often asks questions to the teacher. However, even with his four-year-old mind, he has much more knowledge than his peers. "I heard from my dad that the longest total solar eclipse lasts is 12 minutes, and it's been a long time now."
Zheng Yuanyuan looked at Du Rui for help and stammered, "This... might... break the record?"
Du Rui shrugged helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yize nodded thoughtfully and kicked off the quilt in joy: "Great! If the record is broken, then we can witness history!"
A few seconds of silence were soon broken by a crash coming from downstairs.
The sound is very loud, and it would only be made by a heavy object hitting the wall or the ground.
Everyone thought of Qi Mi at the same time.
Zheng Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran to the door: "Did Teacher Qi fall down?" As she said that, she was about to open the door.
Du Rui still pressed the door tightly: "It should be nothing."
"It made such a loud noise, how could it be okay?" Zheng Yuanyuan tried to pull him away.
Du Rui was like a weight that had been weighed down on him, and he didn't move at all.
"Teacher Du, what are you doing?" Zheng Yuanyuan looked at him in surprise.
Du Rui leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear, "The children are here, don't panic."
“…”
Zheng Yuanyuan calmed down, lowered her hands, turned around and saw that the ten human cubs were all supporting themselves and blinking at her.
Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher Zheng, aren't you going to take a look? What if Teacher Qi falls to his death?"
Zhao Yizhe: "Yes, if he falls to his death, we have to call 120 immediately."
At this moment, as if some kind of switch had been turned on, Di Yuntong, who had been silently crying, burst into tears: "I don't want Teacher Qi to die! Ah - I want my mother!"
He was the youngest kid in the class, only three years old, and had been in kindergarten for only a week. He was as soft and tender as a little white rabbit, a crybaby. Like a thousand waves stirred up in an instant, the children started crying again.
Zheng Yuanyuan: “…”
Du Rui: “…”
The two were at a loss when Du Rui suddenly felt a force outside the door and he quickly put his hand down.
However, Qi Mi only opened the door a little and did not come in.
But just from this small gap, Du Rui smelled a foul stench. He subconsciously took a step back and frowned slightly: "Are you okay?" In fact, he wanted to ask Qi Mi if he accidentally fell into the toilet, but then he thought it was not polite, so he didn't ask.
"It's okay, don't come out. I'm going to the bathroom to wash up. Try to delay it for a while, and I'll explain to the kids when I come back." After saying that, Qi Mi closed the door again without waiting for Du Rui's response.
As soon as he lowered his head, the stench of her body rushed from his nose to the top of his head. It was so disgusting that his stomach churned just thinking about that monster.
She thought she had seen many monsters in the apocalypse and had some resistance to them, but the thing just now really scared her.
The monster must have been a woman, dressed in tattered clothes, her limbs spread out horizontally like a frog, and she lay strangely on the ceiling. Her head had turned 850 degrees to her back, and her two thin, protruding shoulder blades could be seen behind her.
The two eyes were bulging out with their eyelids broken, and the nose and mouth were all squeezed together and also bulged out, very much like the long and pointed mouthparts of a mosquito or butterfly.
Its body was covered in foul-smelling mucus, and it relied on the slippery mucus to pounce on Qi Mi.
Qi Mi had almost no time to react. Relying on the muscle memory developed over the years, she quickly stepped back, spun the plastic broom in her hand, and stabbed it towards the monster's neck.
The first blow was too shallow, so she kicked the monster away, then rushed forward and stabbed it hard.
Phew!
No matter how careful she was, she was still covered in blood.
Luckily, I found a relatively clean jacket in the lounge. Even though it was covered in dust when I shook it, it was still better than wearing bloodstained clothes.
Qi Mi placed his phone upside down on the bathroom sink, and the small toilet was instantly illuminated.
The mirror reflected a clean and pretty face. Apart from the not-so-obvious dark circles under her eyes, she was a beauty without makeup that could make people unable to take their eyes off her.
Especially those amber cat eyes, which looked very precious and exquisite. However, the red blood on her clothes was really eye-catching, adding a bit of murderous aura to her pretty face.
This was a version of herself she hadn't seen in a long time, and she stared at herself in the mirror for a long time before slowly accepting it again.
She sighed and turned on the faucet.
In an instant, the dragon head, like an old man lingering on, coughed twice and slowly exhaled a thin stream of water.
Qi Mi took off her soiled short-sleeved shirt and tossed it into the trash, revealing her sleek, well-defined figure. She used her hands to scoop up the water, carefully washing away the blood and mucus from her skin. The cool water and air gave her bare back and arms goosebumps.
When she was washing the blood off her chest, she suddenly saw two red eyes in the mirror.
Meow~
Then, a soft cat meow was heard.
A black cat appeared out of nowhere, sitting on the windowsill, its tail wagging in the air. Its jet-black fur blended perfectly into the darkness.
Qi Mi quickly moved her hand to her waist, where she kept a fruit knife she had just found on the floor of the lounge. She chuckled and turned around: "Again?"
After seeing the flesh worms and the humanoid monsters just now, she guessed that the species in this world had probably mutated, otherwise the cat's eyes would not be red.
She calmly pulled out the knife, her eyes fixed on the cat. The next second, she raised her hand and swung the knife straight at the black cat's head.
The black cat reacted quickly, breaking through the window and jumping into the yard filled with piles of dead grass.
clang!
But it was just a hair's breadth away, and the fruit knife fell right on the windowsill.
Qi Mi sighed in disappointment, walked to the window and put away the fruit knife, then looked out casually and could still see the pair of red eyes in the darkness.
Just as I was considering whether to hit the black cat again, suddenly, a scream broke the silence.
She secretly cried out that it was not good, put the fruit knife back into her waist, grabbed her jacket and walked out. When she reached the door a few steps, she had already put on her clothes and zipped them up.
A fat, white bug lay by the door. Besides the big ones, there were also small ones, densely packed together in a small area, trying to squeeze through the crack in the door.
Qi Mi frowned slightly, found a broken dustpan from the classroom across the street, scooped them up with a scoop, and threw them into the toilet before walking back. The few remaining insects that had escaped were all crushed to death as she opened the door and walked in.
She was just about to say something when she saw Du Rui and Zheng Yuanyuan hugging each other and was stunned for a moment.
Zheng Yuanyuan threw herself into Du Rui's arms, muttering "I was scared to death" over and over again, her voice tinged with tears.
Du Rui patted Zheng Yuanyuan's back, seemingly unaware of anything wrong. He was simply curious about Qi Mi's jacket: "Men's?"
Qi Mi came back to her senses: "Ah, I found it in the lounge. There are not many left, otherwise I would have taken it for you too." She turned her head to look at the ten pups, each wrapped in a quilt like a Russian nesting doll, cute and funny, and each of them had a look of excitement on their faces, blinking and staring at the two people hugging each other.
At this time, Yu Jiaojiao spoke softly: "Mom, are you going to find a stepfather for me?"
After all, she is Zheng Yuanyuan's biological daughter, and the issues she cares about are always to the point.
Zheng Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment before realizing something was wrong and quickly stepped back. She sniffed, "Sorry, I was just suddenly frightened by the bug..."
"fine."
Du Rui took a few steps back and came to Qi Mi's side. He lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?"
Qi Mi shook his head: "The situation is not good."
"Teacher, Teacher Qi is back. Can he take us out to find our parents?" Wang Xiaohu asked loudly.
Du Rui pretended to clear his throat and asked Qi Mi, "What should we do?"
"It's okay, I'll do it." Qi Mi walked towards the children and clapped his hands to attract their attention. "The teacher just went out and got two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Good news!" the children almost shouted in unison.
"Bad news!" Zhao Yize's voice was out of place. "My dad said that hearing the good news first and then the bad news will cause a sense of disparity. I want to hear the bad news first!"
Qi Fan: "Then let me ask again, do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?"
"Bad news!" the ten cubs shouted in unison.
Qi Mi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and looked around at them seriously: "Listen carefully, the bad news is that our sun is sick and needs to rest, so the sky will suddenly become dark..."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yize stood up and said, "Teacher, you are lying! My dad said that the sun is just a star, it is not a person, and it can't get sick!"
Qi Mi’s smile froze on his face: “…” How come his father knew everything!
She cleared her throat awkwardly, thought for a moment, and explained, "Yes, Zhao Yize is right. The sun is a star and cannot get sick. The teacher said this to make it easier for you to understand."
"Then teacher, what happened to the sun?"
Qi Fan: "That's right, the sun may not rise again."
"What? It can't be raised?!" Wang Xiaohu's expression was exaggerated. He slapped his forehead and lay down on the bed. "Oh my God, then we have to sleep every day from now on..."
"But I don't want to sleep every day!"
"I don't want to either. I hate sleeping the most!"
…
The room was filled with chatter again, and the children's attention was becoming increasingly distracted. Qi Fan quickly clapped his hands to maintain order: "Did everyone forget that we still have some good news to share?"
"What good news? Teacher, please don't keep it a secret!" Wang Xiaohu sat up again, feeling very tired.
"The good news is that our parents, along with everyone in the city, have been called upon by heroes to save the sun. I believe that with their efforts, the sun will surely rise soon!" Qi Mi smiled and raised his hand, "Let's all cheer on our parents, okay?"
The ten cubs had no expression on their faces: "..."
There was complete silence.
