Here in Song Bei’s, it was tranquil; they belonged to the 23rd Group Army, but they were also relatively independent. Because their missions here were the most dangerous, their rate of sacrifice[1] in the military stayed high; Qin Xiao being sent here was considered a compromise where someone advanced and he retreated. It could be compared to telling Qin Xiao to change his job, and if he died here, it was obvious      that the other party would be satisfied too.

Qin Xiao was reduced to a lower rank and transferred under Song Bei, and four years later, he was not moved again.

At that time, Guo Chao Ming had come together with Qin Xiao. Truthfully, when talking about military rank, Guo Chao Ming was higher; when he was transferred over, he was already a Major, and now, he has been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. Qin Xiao was only a Major, and it was only elevated recently in the beginning of this year.

To make Qin Xiao be promoted to this military rank, Song Bei had spent a lot of effort. He did not know what had happened four years ago, but after interacting for many years, Song Bei only believed in his own eyes, he believed in Qin Xiao’s character.

His soldier, naturally had to be protected by him.

“Okay, then teach it well you two. Teach it everything about what it should and should not do… let her know what is serious, so that it’ll not do a thing like making trouble again.”

“If you want to stay, then study well, okay?”

Bai Xia Xia: “????”

What did I hear?!!

“I’m not doing it, I don’t want to study, I want lo lie down like a salted fish, waiting for my poop shovel officer to raise me, to offer small, dried fish!” The cat was so shocked that its tail spiked up, it did not face the wall anymore, laid down on the floor like a salted fish, and writhed left and right on the floor in an act of rejection: “Why do you have to ruin an innocent and pitiful cat?”

“Meow!! I don’t agree! Everybody’s a cat, why do I have to study?!”

“Yo, heh,” Guo Chao Ming deliberately misinterpreted[2], “The cat is very happy too, it actually understood?”

“You’ll start to study, aren’t you extremely happy?!”

Song Bei completely acted like he did not see the cat’s sadness, then decided: “It’s decided, teach her well!”

The cat shook its tail, planning the idea of no collaboration unless force was used, but then heard Song Bei serenely saying: “Cat, go out after studying well, we’ll notify the guards at the gate. If you dare to sneakily escape, don’t think about eating fish-flavored pork slices again. Or, how about I send you back to Cuilian Mountain?”

This cat is very smart, it can understand human language, and help looking for things. This means that she can think by herself, so she would naturally be able to study.

Song Bei could see that Bai Xia Xia wanted to follow them, more specifically, she wanted to follow Qin Xiao. When living in the world of humans, if the cat understood more, it would live better.

Mm, in any case, these two guys make no attempt to progress, it’s making use of idle things. Song Bei was thankful for Bai Xia Xia’s help, so he was willing to help her think a bit.

Moreover, who would not like a cat that was intelligent, cute, and beautiful?

Bai Xia Xia: I’m so moved that my sadness flows like a river. I… have been locked up.

The type that’s for making up lessons!

That same day in the evening, Song Bei brought gifts and went to ward 207, then apologized to Su Zhe Yu’s relatives and friends.

Song Bei’s attitude was very sincere, adding on that Bai Xia Xia had only knocked over a water cup, and did not cause great trouble to others, they agreeably accepted.

However… when Song Bei was leaving, he seemed to have heard that young person that was in a coma talking in his sleep semi-consciously: “White… cat…”

Song Bei ??

He also specially went to the doctor’s office to speak, guaranteeing that Bai Xia Xia would not enter other wards. That a similar event would not happen again in the future, at the very least, giving Bai Xia Xia the opportunity to continue staying in the ward.

Just as Song Bei was preparing to return to the ward to look at the cat’s studying, Li Ai Guo’s side concerning the trail of the smuggling gang was wrapping up, they were preparing to catch people.

As a high superior of a supporting unit, he had to make an appearance. Song Bei: Am I working as a superior or as a mother? Thinking about two young brats that were relaxing in the ward, Big Colonel Song felt that it was very unfair.

But… when he saw the Li Ai Guo that was noticeably more haggard than yesterday, Song Bei calmed down, then revealed a caring smile.

Li Ai Guo: ???

In ward 212, Captain Qin and Comrade Guo’s Two vs One Kitty Small Classroom started classes.

“Today, we’ll be studying numbers up to ten…” Guo Chao Ming, you’re shameless, you’re using your public authority for private interests, intentionally tormenting Cat. Song Bei clearly only told you to casually teach Cat to not make trouble!

The kitty was lying in a Xiao Hun side pose[3], scratching its own calf that was itching, and occasionally yawned: “Meow~”

“Guo Chao Ming, you’re not a human! I’m not listening, not listening, a bastard reciting scripture.”

Qin Xiao was lying lazily on the head of the bed playing games, Guo Chao Ming had gone to the videogame store early in the morning to rent it, it was a Nintendo Game Boy, the crude black plastic outer shell looked very cheap.

Nintendo Game Boy

Bai Xia Xia’s eyes uncontrollably turned towards Qin Xiao’s game console, “Pa!”

“Stand up.” Guo Chao Ming held chopsticks and lightly hit Bai Xia Xia’s paw, the Persian cat tilted its head, its eyes were confused and innocent: “Meow?”

After calling out, it jumped up toward the window by itself: I’ll just act like I don’t understand.

I’m skipping class, skipping class, I want to make a small report to Tuan Tuan! Guo Chao Ming isn’t being a human, he’s using chicken feathers as arrows to bully Cat!

“You don’t want to eat fish-flavored pork slices anymore?” Guo Chao Ming: “Study well, then I’ll let you see the game console.”

Bai Xia Xia was not able to hold against Teacher Guo’s threats, lures, and sugar-coated bullets, so she sat and acted like an obedient student.

After going through white lotus and green tea, the cat went on the road of pretending to be a mediocre student without turning back.

“1 plus 1 is equal to?”

The cat had nothing left to live for, it patted the table twice. Bai Xia Xia had thought about acting like she could not learn and acting stupid, but one day of not learning was one day that the cat could not go out of the ward.

Pitiful cat, it was forced to study, so tragic.

Translator’s comments:

Is it possible to teach cats math though?

Translator’s notes:

[1] As in dying while doing a mission. Is there a better term for this instead of using sacrifice?

[2] Idiomatic expression ‘指鹿为马 (zhǐ lù wéi mǎ)’: lit. translation: ‘pointing to the deer as a horse’. It means ‘to deliberately misinterpret’.

[3] Something like this. Basically, a cat lying down sideways.
