Chapter 52 Chapter 52 (Updated)

Burying himself in the soft blanket, the little fox rolled around crazily with his schoolbag in his arms.

The big fluffy tail was messy because of rolling, but she didn't care anymore. Her heart was filled with her father's gentle expression.

But she deceived her father.

The little fox felt extremely guilty.

When she was wandering on the planet Tutar, she had cheated and fought in order to obtain food to survive. At that time, she did not feel guilty. The only thing she wanted in her heart was to survive.

But now it’s different, she has a home and doesn’t have to wander around anymore.

She wants to be a good girl who pleases her father.

A good child shouldn't get the last place in an exam, nor should he tell lies.

The little fox slowly curled up in the blanket, pulling at its tail fur in a tangled way.

If she confesses to her father now, she has only done one bad thing; but if she continues to hide it from her father, she has done two bad things.

After thinking for a long time while biting the tip of his claws, the little fox finally decided to confess.

By this time, Ruan Shiqing had already received a reply from the teacher.

As the teacher said, Nota is indeed a very smart cub, but perhaps because she has been wandering outside since she was very young, she is more mature than many other cubs, and more sensible and clever. But at the same time, her previous wandering life also made her more unruly than other cubs. She has her own theories and opinions on many things. She will listen to what the teacher says like other cubs, but she will not take it to heart.

In short, she will listen to what the teacher says, but she will not dare to do it again next time.

She tried hard to act like a sensible and obedient cub, but in fact she didn't love studying. The boring classes couldn't make the lively and active cub concentrate, so her grades were naturally not very good.

But Nota's situation is not unique.

On the planet B3024, there are too many cubs like Nota, and most of the parents don't pay too much attention to the cubs' studies. As long as the cubs can grow up safely, it is a victory for the parents.

On the contrary, Ruan Shiqing's concern seemed more special, so the teacher told him about Nota's situation as detailed as possible.

After Ruan Shiqing understood this, he also fell into deep thought.

Raising cubs is not just about taking care of their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating; education is also very important.

While he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Nota, the little fox came to him first.

At that time, Ruan Shiqing had just finished dinner. He was nominally working in the workshop, but in fact he was worried about how to communicate with the kid.

It was at this time that the little fox knocked on the door of the workshop.

"Dad, can I come in?" She poked half of her face in from the door. She was not as impetuous as usual, but rather a little hesitant, and her ears drooped weakly.

It seems that this exam was a huge blow to the kid.

"Come in." Ruan Shiqing waved at her.

The big tail behind him moved slightly, the little fox closed the door, and slowly moved in front of his father.

She lowered her head, with her hands behind her back, and seemed to be holding something in her hands.

Ruan Shiqing guessed why she came.

Raising his hand and gently pressing the top of the kid's head, Ruan Shiqing asked in a gentle voice: "Nota, do you have anything to tell your dad?"

The ears on the top of his head moved, the little fox raised his eyes and looked at him, bit his lip, and resolutely stuffed the report card into his hand.

Because he was too nervous, the little fox's voice was a little shrill and loud: "Dad, I ranked last in the exam."

After the words fell, the little fox was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red with embarrassment.

Such a loud voice, as if being ranked last in the exam was something she was very proud of. She suddenly became even more depressed.

The pretty little rose hung its head, and even its leaves were curled up.

Ruan Shiqing had already seen the report card, but he still unfolded it and read it carefully again. Then he folded it up and handed it back to the little fox, saying softly, "It's just that you didn't do well in the test once. You don't have to take it to heart."

The little fox raised his head in surprise, his silver eyes full of disbelief.

The tail behind her moved slightly, and the little fox confirmed: "Dad, don't you think I'm stupid?" Her face turned red, and she snorted: "Xueqiu and Ruan Yuebai got first place, and Heli got second place. Because of me, they didn't tell Dad about their test results."

It takes a lot of courage to confess that you have lied. After finally telling the truth, the little fox had exhausted all his courage and hung his head.

"Test scores cannot define whether a person is smart or not." Ruan Shiqing smoothed her messy hair. "You are not good at studying, but you may be good at other things. It's just that you haven't discovered it yet."

No one had ever said such words to her. The little fox's dull eyes lit up and its ears gradually stood straight.

Ruan Shiqing smiled and flicked her ear: "But you are still too young now. You still have to master the most basic knowledge. You can't be an illiterate."

"Dad won't ask you for grades, but you have to think about it carefully. If you don't like going to school, what do you want to do in the future?"

There are hundreds of different kinds of people in this world, and not everyone has to follow the same path.

If Nota wants to take a different path from the crowd, Ruan Shiqing is willing to support her; but if the kid just doesn't like to study because he loves to play, that won't work.

The little fox had never thought about such a long-term thing. She bit her lip and thought seriously for a long time before she hesitated and said, "I want to join the army!" She gestured and said, "Go to the front line to fight and kill the insect tribe."

This was a wish she had when she was very young.

When she was wandering on the planet Tutar, she once met a hybrid like her.

She was still very young at that time and did not have much experience in wandering. Because she could not get any food, she was hungry for many days and became very weak. When she thought she was going to starve to death, the man gave her a tube of nutrition.

She survived on the nutritional supplement, and later on, when she was wandering around, she would occasionally run into the half-blood. Although they were both half-bloods, the other person lived much better than she did.

Occasionally when I meet her, I will throw her half a tube of nutritional supplements.

This kind of life lasted for about one or two months. It was one of the rare and very comfortable days in Nota's wandering life. Even if he couldn't grab any food, he didn't have to worry about being too hungry to walk.

But not long after, the other party left Tutar.

The last time she saw that man, he generously handed her three tubes of nutritional supplements and told her that he was going to join the army at the front.

To this day, Nota's memory of the other person's face is actually very vague, but his words are still engraved in his heart.

At that time she asked him why he wanted to join the army.

The man smiled at her and said, "On the frontline battlefield, race is not important, only strength is important. If mixed-bloods like us want to survive better, we must make ourselves stronger. Weak mixed-bloods cannot live to adulthood, so you have to work hard to survive."

After that, Nota never saw that man again.

I don’t know if the other party survived or became stronger.

But those words were like a tiny seed buried deep in her heart, waiting for the right opportunity to take root and sprout.

When he was wandering in the past, Nota always wanted to become stronger, just like that person said, to try his best to survive.

But she was lucky enough to meet her father.

Now she still wants to become stronger, but not just to survive, but because she wants to protect her cherished home and family.

"Join the army?" Ruan Shiqing was a little surprised, but soon relieved. With the little fox's personality, joining the army would be a good choice.

He opened the virtual screen and brought out the three top-ranked military academies in the Galaxy Empire to show the little fox: "You are still too young now, so you can only study in the preparatory military academy first. After passing the assessment, you can enter the military academy. After graduating from the military academy, you can directly join the army. However..." He smiled and touched the little fox's head: "Even if the military academy assessment focuses more on personal ability, illiterate people cannot pass the assessment. If you really want to join the army, work towards this goal."

When the little fox heard this, he immediately perked up: "I will study hard in the future!"

"Dad will also ask you about the military reserve academy." Ruan Shiqing put her on the ground and patted her head: "It's late, go and rest."

The little fox uttered a heavy "hmm" before running out of the workshop excitedly, with the ten big tails behind it wagging vigorously.
