When Beauty Meets Beasts

674 May I See You Become A King In My Lifetime

Huanhuan extended the third finger. “The third question is the easiest. What do you think the left ear of an elephant most resembles?”

The young man was thinking hard. “A fan?”

Huanhuan shook her head. “No.”

“A big leaf?”

“Not really.”

“The moon in the sky?”

Huanhuan looked at him sympathetically. “Do you think the moon in the sky looks like an elephant’s ear?”

The young man said, “No.”

He was just making things up in a hurry.

He gave up struggling completely and said dejectedly, “What does it most resemble?”

Huanhuan covered her mouth and chuckled. “The left ear of an elephant is of course the most similar to its right ear!”

“…”

The young man leaned back in his chair, his face blank. He felt useless.

Huanhuan smiled at him. “Look, there are many things in this world that you don’t even know. You can’t classify people as idiots just because of three questions. Even if they’re really idiots, there might be some things that they know while you don’t. There’s no end to learning. We have to learn and improve together!”

The young man waved his hand. “You win. You can read all the books and information here. If you don’t understand, you can ask me. I can answer your questions anytime.”

Huanhuan agreed happily. “Okay!”

Most of the books and information here were related to medicine, but a small number involved other fields. However, all the topics covered here were complicated.

Huanhuan spent the rest of the day reading, immersed in the sea of knowledge.

When she encountered something she didn’t understand, she would carry the books to the young man for guidance.

At first, she asked very simple basic questions. The young man would answer in detail, but there was always a look of disdain on his face. “How can you be so stupid?”

After reading more and knowing more, the number of questions Huanhuan needed to ask gradually decreased. Occasionally, she would ask one or two questions, but they were all more difficult.

The disdain on the young man’s face gradually dissipated, replaced by relief and anticipation.

Unknowingly, a long time passed.

When Huanhuan felt that she had reached a bottleneck in her studies and could no longer stuff more things into her mind, she put down the book in her hand and stood up to say goodbye to the young man.

During this period of time, the young man had been sitting in the chair without getting up. It was still the same now. He was sitting in the same wide chair, and his tone was very casual. “Remember to organize the knowledge you just learned after you go out. I’ll test you the next time you come back. If you don’t pass the exam, you’ll be punished.”

“…Punished how?”

The young man sneered. “You won’t want to know.”

Huanhuan’s scalp went numb from his smile. She quickly patted her chest and promised, “I’ll definitely study hard and try to pass!”

“Yes, there are a hundred questions. If you get one wrong, you’ll fail.”

“…”

Why hadn’t such an inhumane teacher been beaten to death by other students?

The young man suddenly said, “I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Qing.”

Huanhuan immediately smiled. “My surname is Lin too. Maybe we were a family 500 years ago!”

Lin Qing chuckled. “Do you think getting close to me will make me relax my requirements for your exam? Dream on.”

“…”

Huanhuan’s smile immediately turned into a crying face.

This teacher was not nice at all!

With the fear of being punished for failing the exam, she pushed open the door and walked out while trembling.

Little Brat had long woken up. He was sitting in a chair and playing a game. Huanhuan leaned over to take a look and realized that he was playing a Sokoban game, and the image was actually in black and white.

Huanhuan couldn’t help but say, “You’re already so old, but you’re still playing such games?”

Little Brat played the game seriously and said without looking up, “I’ll always be 18!”

“How shameless.”

The shameless Little Brat said, “Don’t speak. Don’t disturb me from playing the game. I’m playing a ranking competition with someone! This is the most critical moment. If I lose, I’ll lose my star. I’ll be scolded by my teammates.”

Huanhuan looked stunned. “You can play ranked games in Sokoban?”

“What’s wrong with Sokoban? Why can’t there be a ranking competition for Sokoban? You’re underestimating and insulting it!”

Facing Little Brat’s strong accusation, Huanhuan was speechless.

She stared unblinkingly at Little Brat as he played the game. She wanted to see how he could play a ranked match in Sokoban!

There were a total of four figures on the screen. One of them was Little Brat, and the other three were his teammates.

The four of them were trying their best to push the boxes. Only if they pushed all the boxes into the corresponding compartment would the team win.

Huanhuan looked at it for a long time. No matter how she looked at it, it was no different from an ordinary Sokoban game.

She tried to ask, “What rank are you now?”

“I’ve just risen to gold. I’ll reach platinum soon, but my goal is to reach the king rank!”

Little Brat’s blood boiled as if becoming a king could really let him rule the world.

Huanhuan patted his shoulder and wished him well sincerely. “May I see you become a king in my lifetime.”

...

Unexpectedly, her pat made Little Brat’s hand tremble. He accidentally pushed the box into a blind spot and couldn’t push it out.

His team lost this round.

Little Brat was scolded by his teammates as a scammer. He expressed his anger. “How dare these little bastards call me a scammer? They’re clearly the ones who set themselves up! With their lousy operation, even if I didn’t push the box into a blind spot, they would’ve still lost!”

As the person responsible for his mistake, Huanhuan felt very guilty.

She quickly nodded in agreement. “Yes, yes, yes. It’s all your teammates’ fault. It has nothing to do with you. You’ll always be the best father!”

“Hmph, since they don’t want to play with me, I can’t be bothered to team up with them!”

“That’s right. You’re going to be a king in the future. Those scumbags aren’t worthy of you!”

Little Brat felt comfortable being praised. “Huanhuan, you know me best.”

“Of course. You’re my father.”

“Tell me, what do you need my help with?”

Huanhuan waved her hand. “No, I’m not the kind of person who has ulterior motives. You’re thinking too much.”

...

“Oh, in that case, I’ll send you out now.”

Huanhuan immediately hugged his arm and quickly asked, “What do you think of Lin Qing?”

“You mean the man who taught you medicine? He’s quite good. He’s knowledgeable and extremely smart.”

“How is he as a person? For example, what will he do to someone who offends him? Will he kill them?”

Little Brat stroked her head and smiled especially kindly. “He doesn’t like to kill.”
