Chapter 16.1

Communication Guru (1)

The next day was the first day of school.

Gu Mingyuan had considered giving Mu Le a bath.

However, for the past few days, the child showed no signs of getting dirty, whether it was her skin or her hair. Even her clothes remained clean and smelled fresh.

He had suspected that Mu Le might be bathing on her own, but the bathing products in the room were untouched.

Gu Mingyuan was also worried about humans bathing improperly. Some small animals could die from bathing. He also doubted the information given by the lop-eared rabbit doctor he had asked before.

He had known a very authoritative doctor in his team before. He heard that the doctor would be returning to the capital soon, and Gu Mingyuan planned to take Mu Le to see him.

For now, it would be better to endure a few more days.

Mu Le was completely unaware of this. She had only worn her elementary school uniform twice before storing it away and putting on the uniform of the capital middle school.

The children in the special class were all very unique, with significant differences in body size. But considering that orc children naturally had large variations in size, the school had made uniforms in different sizes.

The school uniform Mu Le received this time was a bit loose, similar to the ones she had worn on Earth when attending school. It was loose and sporty, but the color scheme was particularly attractive.

There were two options for the uniform: black and white, and blue and white. The colors had a grayish tone, and the fabric quality was excellent.

Mu Le woke up and obediently put on the school uniform.

Gu Mingyuan woke up earlier. He was used to getting up early for a morning run, taking a shower, and then having breakfast with Mu Le.

This morning, when he returned to the bedroom after his run and was preparing to take a shower, he noticed Mu Le standing in front of the mirror, striking a pose.

She had zipped up her uniform all the way to the top, lowered her head, and buried half of her face in the collar. With her hands in her pockets, she slightly raised her eyes, trying to mimic a rebellious girl and making a disdainful expression. However, with her round and rosy little face, there was no trace of rebelliousness whatsoever.

…………So adorable.

Gu Mingyuan involuntarily slowed down his movements.

His presence was too strong, and Mu Le quickly noticed him. She felt extremely embarrassed and took her hands out of her pockets, standing obediently.

Gu Mingyuan pretended not to have seen the previous scene. “Let’s go eat.”

Mu Le nodded quickly and disappeared from this embarrassing place in a flash.

She ran fast and when she got outside, breakfast wasn’t ready yet. Mu Le sat on the sofa, covering her face, lamenting how careless she had been.

Living with a burly man, she usually paid attention to small details. Even though the burly man now treated her solely as a pet or at most a child in the house, she still treated him as a burly man. She would be more mindful when changing clothes or using the bathroom.

She would even read books secretly and play with Buke in secret. She had become quite adept at guerrilla warfare.

But she didn’t expect that today, after changing clothes and striking a pose, she would be caught in the act. It was as if an elderly person hid in a room and indulged in some juvenile self-talk, and someone witnessed the entire embarrassing process.

Fortunately, Gu Mingyuan didn’t bring it up again.

He had breakfast with Mu Le and accompanied her to school. The Capital University hadn’t started classes yet, but due to Gu Mingyuan’s special circumstances, he had already visited the professors in his department. Today, while taking Mu Le to school, he decided to visit his own school as well.

…

Mu Le arrived relatively early. When she entered the classroom, there were only three or four students seated.

The homeroom teacher was already there, sitting by the podium reading a book.

Mu Le walked over and greeted him, “Good morning, teacher.”

The teacher looked up at her and smiled. “Oh, it’s you.”

Mu Le was stunned. “Teacher Bai?”

It turns out their homeroom teacher is Bai Yan.

The amiable bear teacher rubbed his nose and said to Mu Le, “Find a seat and sit down. Once everyone arrives, we’ll arrange the seating according to height.”

Mu Le nodded quickly, “Okay.”

Although there are only twenty students in the class, there are forty desks in the classroom. Two desks are combined to form a small group, and there are a total of four groups, with each group having five rows.

Mu Le didn’t want to sit in the first group near the entrance, so she went straight to the fourth group.

She estimated that according to height, she would have to sit at the front, so she chose to sit in the first row directly.

The second row was already occupied by someone.

Right behind her.

Curiously, Mu Le turned her head slightly to take a look.

The boy sitting behind her should be a dog. He had smooth short hair, with both ears drooping on either side of his head. The hair on the sides of his head and his ears was black, but the middle of his bangs was white.

…This kind of hair color can only be seen in anime.

Judging by his coat color, Mu Le guessed that if he were a dog, he was probably a Border Collie.

The boy kept his head down and was reading very attentively.

Sensing Mu Le’s gaze, he looked up and smiled at her with a slight, friendly smile.

Mu Le smiled back at him.

She felt deeply touched.

Dogs truly live up to their reputation as humans’ best friends. They feel so familiar!

More students entered through the door one after another.

There was a boy with a buzz cut who looked ordinary but moved at a particularly slow pace, as if in 0.5x speed.

There was a handsome blond boy with a tuft of silly hair on his head, and his cheeks had eye-catching blushes on both sides.

There was a girl whose uniform was not properly buttoned, chewing gum, and carrying a sketchbook behind her. She had small ears and a small tail, with watery eyes like a little deer.

There was also a boy with messy hair and poorly worn uniform, almost six feet tall, with a rough, gray tail wagging behind him, giving no one a friendly expression.

Each one of them had their own personality.

…Indeed, it seemed to be a gathering place for troubled children.
