Chapter 115: Chapter 106: Mom Was Right, Wings Aren’t Important
"Oh, they’re just kids. It’s fine," Shu Yao said with a smile. "My son doesn’t mind either."
If it had been anyone else, Xiao Juzi would have definitely given them a warning.
’Looks like my Zaizai really likes this little girl with the angel wings.’
Shu Yao also really liked this little girl named "Little Taotao." "Your daughter is adorable."
"Your son is the adorable one!" Taotao’s mother said, full of admiration.
Little Taotao took Xiao Juzi’s hand and invited him, "Do you want to dig for treasure with me?"
Xiao Juzi’s interest was piqued. "Where’s the treasure?"
’I’ll dig it up and give it to Mom!’
Little Taotao pointed to the sandbox.
"It’s in the sand." She looked a little frustrated. "But I’ve been digging for days and haven’t found any treasure."
Seeing Little Taotao looking so unhappy made Xiao Juzi hesitate.
’If I find the treasure, should I give it to Mom, or to Little Taotao?’
"What does the treasure look like?" ’Maybe I can split it in two.’
"I don’t know!" Little Taotao replied without a second thought. "But I’ll definitely know it’s treasure when I find it!"
There’s no reasoning with a child’s logic.
Xiao Juzi began to realize that Little Taotao had probably been tricked by someone.
’There’s no treasure in this sandbox at all.’
But he couldn’t bear to tell her the cruel truth.
He didn’t want to see Little Taotao get sad.
’Besides, it’s better if she doesn’t know the truth. She’ll probably keep coming here to look for treasure.’
’That means I’ll have more chances to see her here in the future.’
After getting his mom’s permission, Xiao Juzi went to the sandbox with Little Taotao to dig for treasure.
Soon, a circle of children had gathered around him.
"Hey, new kid, what’s your Beastman lineage?" an slightly older boy asked.
Xiao Juzi noticed that Little Taotao was looking at him just as curiously as the other kids.
So, he said, "A cat."
"No way!" The older boy gestured at the sides of his own head. "Cat ears are pointy, but yours are round!"
Xiao Juzi touched his Beastman ears. Sure enough, there were no pointy tips.
The older boy had an "I told you so" look on his face.
"But I *am* a cat!" Xiao Juzi insisted.
The older boy said, "How do you know you’re a cat? Can you transform?"
Xiao Juzi: "Of course I can!"
"Then transform for us!"
"Mommy says I’m not allowed to transform where there are lots of people." Xiao Juzi shook his head and dragged a finger across his cheek. "It’s embarrassing~"
"Your tail is out!" Little Taotao dropped her small shovel and grabbed Xiao Juzi’s tail. "It’s so fluffy and warm! Just like a cat’s!"
Xiao Juzi blushed, uncomfortably watching his tail twitching in Little Taotao’s hand.
Sitting on a bench by the sandbox, Shu Yao posted an update to her social feed, sharing a moment of her parent-child time with Xiao Juzi.
Wei liked the post, commenting: [The unified examination is just around the corner, and you still have the nerve to be out playing with your son!]
Shu Yao replied: [Haha! Someone who’s never been a parent has no right to comment on me!]
Wei: [...] Where’s the respect for your teacher?
Yuan Ju commented: [Your son is very cute. I hope you two have a wonderful day.]
Jiang Fei: [Suddenly I really want to hatch a Beastman baby!]
Yuan Ju replied: [First, you need a girlfriend.]
Jiang Fei: [The easiest way would be for you to have a baby for me to play with, Yuanyuan!]
Yuan Ju: [...]
Ke Dancheng quietly liked Shu Yao’s post.
At the family fun center, Shu Xin met a few other parents and gathered a lot of information while they chatted.
Especially about kids starting kindergarten.
Some of the information was quite important.
Xiao Juzi is a Beastman, after all, not the same as a Purebred human. There are many aspects that can’t be treated the same.
Shu Xin was particularly concerned about matters involving Xiao Juzi. It was her first time raising a Beastman baby, and she still had a lot to learn.
"Yaoyao, I was just talking to some other parents about kids starting kindergarten."
Shu Yao said, "Big Uncle already sorted out a school for Xiao Juzi, didn’t he? What are you worrying about?"
"How can you say that!" Shu Xin said sternly. "Your Big Uncle doesn’t know anything about this!"
Shu Yao sighed. "And what is it that you’ve found out now?"
Shu Xin looked completely serious. "Weren’t you thinking of sending Xiao Juzi to a regular kindergarten? But most regular kindergartens don’t accept Beastman babies like him."
Shu Yao opened her mouth to speak, but then stopped.
She had been about to repeat that Big Uncle had already arranged a school for Xiao Juzi, but she suddenly wanted to hear what Shu Xin had to say next.
Shu Xin said, "You know how kids are—their emotional control isn’t great to begin with, and Beastman babies’ emotions are even more unstable than those of regular kids. I was just talking to a mother whose child is in kindergarten, and she told me there was an incident at their school where a Beastman baby hurt other children."
