Chapter 645: Chapter 645: Candy’s Little Classroom Is in Session
On the other hand, Little Grey, who was sitting on the ground, appeared majestic and commanding the moment he took the wooden stick from his young master, sitting absolutely still.
He didn’t understand or care, but judging from the young master’s tone, sitting still seemed like the right choice. Otherwise... his already big ears might become even bigger.
Under Candy’s repeated emphasis, Bun reluctantly lay on the chair with his eyes wide open, drowsily looking at Candy.
He had to pay attention; Candy held a very high status in the house. If he didn’t comply, there might be no fish treats later that night.
"Meow~ ooh~"
Candy nodded in satisfaction. During class, one must pay attention; how could anyone sleep lazily?
"Ahem, ahem..." Candy cleared his throat, pointing a small stick at the "1" on the paper.
"This is the number ’1’, say it."
In the next moment, Candy furrowed his brow and said angrily, "Didn’t hear me? The number ’1’, say it."
Little Grey and Bun stared blankly, unable to decipher what Candy was up to.
"Little Grey!"
"Woof~" Hearing his name, Little Grey was startled and instinctively barked.
"That’s right, ’1’ stands for one bark."
Feeling Candy’s gaze shift onto him, Bun tilted his head, eyes full of wisdom.
"Meow~"
"Yes, yes, that’s it!"
"All right, let’s do it again!"
"1"
"Meow~"
Candy noticed that Little Grey hadn’t reacted for a while and rolled his eyes like a fool, immediately becoming frustrated, and grabbed Little Grey’s ear.
"’1’ means to bark once, understand?"
"Woof woof woof~"
"Oh dear, silly dog, it’s just one woof."
After Candy’s repeated corrections, Little Grey finally understood; ’1’ means one bark, making the young master very happy, but barking three times makes the master angry, which brings serious consequences.
Look at how Bun, the boss, looks, enjoying every bit.
"Pay attention to class. Next, we will learn the number ’2’, which means two ’1’s."
"Got it?"
"Bun, you’re clever, you go first."
Under Candy’s intense gaze, Bun scratched his ear and tentatively meowed twice.
"Meow meow..."
"Fantastic! I knew you were the smartest, not like Little Grey. As brother said, sometimes you’re like a silly husky."
"Little Grey, did you understand?"
To Candy’s surprise, Little Grey barked twice. Candy was genuinely delighted.
Candy, feeling something was off, quickly pointed to ’1’ again and asked, "What is this?"
"Woof~"
Candy rubbed his chin, thinking that maybe brother’s words weren’t entirely true, Little Grey was actually quite smart.
As the numbers increased over time, Candy eventually spotted the trick.
Little Grey was actually learning from Bun; as long as Bun meowed a certain number of times, Little Grey would follow suit. But as numbers grew, a surprise test revealed Little Grey’s secret.
Candy lamented, "Little Grey, why can’t you be more ambitious?"
"See how smart Bun is, he learns after just a few tries."
"Come on, learn again from the start, if you don’t learn, no dinner tonight."
...............
Candy hadn’t closed the study room door.
After taking a nap and washing his face, Mo Jingchun felt refreshingly energized. Satisfied with his hairstyle after a quick adjustment, he nodded appreciatively at the mirror.
As soon as he opened the room door, Mo Jingchun sensed something was amiss.
"Woof woof woof woof woof~"
"Meow meow meow meow meow~"
The sounds of dogs barking and cats meowing came from the study, making Mo Jingchun frown slightly.
Were the two creatures fighting in his study? Hopefully, they haven’t damaged anything.
With a stern face, Mo Jingchun briskly walked towards the study. Just as he was about to reach the door, hearing the sounds from inside the study, he stopped abruptly.
"See, that’s how it’s done. I told you, my dog couldn’t be a silly dog."
"Come on, strike the iron while it’s hot, let’s continue."
Listening just outside, Mo Jingchun was a bit confused by Candy’s words.
He understood each word, but when put together, what did they mean?
Soon, Mo Jingchun understood.
"1"
"Woof~"
"Meow~"
"2"
"Woof woof~"
"Meow meow~"
...
Mo Jingchun was completely stunned, looking incredulously at the scene before him.
Would a recently graduated preschooler really teach the family pets numbers just because there was nothing else to do during the holidays? Mo Jingchun really wanted to ask Candy, "Are you serious?"
He could understand Bun learning it, but for Little Grey to have learned it too... Mo Jingchun couldn’t imagine how many scoldings it must have taken.
Poor thing...
Being a dog, having to attend school besides guarding the house.
Mo Jingchun decided not to disturb Candy, who was deeply involved in the educational endeavors, and quietly descended the stairs.
Downstairs, Zhou Yaling, who had been watching TV all afternoon, was dozing off with a pillow. Seeing her brother coming down the stairs, she only glanced up.
The whole office claims her elder brother is handsome, but she just couldn’t see it.
Her brother’s old face, so thick-skinned.
"Stop watching for now, come upstairs with me."
Zhou Yaling looked at her brother in confusion and asked, "For what?"
"You’ll see once you come up."
Though puzzled in her heart, Zhou Yaling paused her drama, put on her slippers, and followed her brother upstairs.
Without the sound of the television, Zhou Yaling, only halfway up the stairs, could hear Little Grey barking non-stop upstairs, the sound hoarse.
From the direction of the noise, it should be coming from the study.
Zhou Yaling looked eerily at her brother walking ahead, worried that her brother was planning something like slaughtering a dog for meat.
Didn’t seem to make sense...
Soon, Mo Jingchun stopped, turning to signal Zhou Yaling to be quiet.
A dozen seconds later, hearing the sounds from the study, Zhou Yaling silently took out her phone and turned on the video recording function of the camera.
Mo Jingchun’s lips curled upward, stepping aside to make room.
After about a minute of sneaky filming, Mo Jingchun boldly entered the study.
"Oh~ Candy’s little class is in session?"
Seeing the pieces of paper and the black words, as well as the despairing Little Grey and Bun, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but admire Candy.
As long as the mind doesn’t waver, there are more ways than difficulties.
Who says kids have nothing to play with at home during holidays? Look at how productive Candy is in just one afternoon of break.
It’s just tough for the dog and cat.
Candy tried to hide the small stick behind his back, sliding his body sideways in an attempt to conceal the "knowledge" on the paper, but on seeing his sister raising her phone, Candy dropped his head in defeat.
