Little Chubby Girl Does Good Deeds
Star City.
Liu Shiling sat in the kindergarten classroom, staring blankly at the torrential rain outside, lost in thought.
Outside, there were occasional thunder and lightning, and the other children in the classroom were making a ruckus, covering their ears, laughing, shouting, and generally being noisy.
But Liu Shiling opened her eyes even wider, as if trying to see something in the electric light illuminating the sky in the distance.
Last night, she secretly asked Xiang Kun on QQ if the lightning storm on TV was "super magic" and which "magician" did it.
Xiang Kun then said that was his "magic".
Upon receiving this answer, the Little Chubby Girl was both incredibly excited and felt a greater sense of urgency.
Although she already knew that Uncle Baldy was very powerful, possessing both "magic" and archery skills, and having a magnificent pet with many arms, even if other "magicians" could cast powerful "lightning storms," they probably wouldn't be as powerful as Uncle Baldy.
But she always thought that Uncle Baldy wasn't the most skilled in "magic," after all, she was going to become a "Great Mage" in the future to help Uncle Baldy fight against bad guys and monsters!
But now she suddenly realized that the bald uncle's "magic" was far, far, far more powerful than she had thought!
This made the Little Chubby Girl a little anxious. She hoped that in the future, when she fought against bad guys and monsters with Uncle Baldy, Uncle Baldy would be able to say, "Oh, Little Bell, you're so amazing! We would have been in big trouble without you this time!" and play a crucial role, instead of saying, "Little Bell, just cast some magic and have fun. Leave the rest to Uncle."
So Liu Shiling began to ponder how she could make her magic even more unique, more powerful, and more effective than the bald uncle's lightning storm?
The young female teacher, standing beside Liu Shiling who was staring blankly out the window, asked, "Shiling, what are you looking at?"
Liu Shiling looked up at her teacher with her little face. "I'm watching thunder and lightning."
The teacher wasn't surprised by this answer and asked again, "Have you finished your drawings?"
Liu Shiling lowered her hands from the table and showed her drawing to the teacher. "It's finished."
Today, the teacher asked the children to draw animals. They could draw their own pets, animals they'd seen at the zoo, or animals they'd seen on TV. If they couldn't think of anything to draw, they could borrow a sketchbook from the teacher for reference.
The female teacher glanced at it and noticed that Liu Shiling had drawn a cat riding on the back of what appeared to be a giant bird of presumably an eagle.
"Is this Egg Pie? Why is the eagle carrying it yellow just like it?" the female teacher asked.
Since the start of this semester, Liu Shiling's drawing skills have improved significantly, and she is now one of the top students in her class. This is not the first time Liu Shiling has drawn this big orange cat, so she is quite familiar with it and knows that it is Liu Shiling's pet cat named "Egg Pie".
However, Liu Shiling's previous "Egg Pie" paintings all contained various other strange elements, such as many wings and many eyes, and strangely enough, they were quite harmonious. This sometimes made Liu Shiling wonder if she had a talent for abstract art.
Today's "Egg Pie" riding on a yellow eagle doesn't have any strange elements; it just looks like a normal kitten with a short, chubby face and long legs. It's drawn quite well.
Liu Shiling shook her head and said, "Teacher, this isn't an eagle, it's a canary."
"Huh? A canary?" The teacher was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "How can a canary be so big, and even carry a cat?"
"Why can't a canary be this big?" Liu Shiling asked, her eyes wide with surprise.
The female teacher opened her mouth as if to say something, but then seemed to remember something, shook her head and chuckled, saying, "Hmm, Shiling, your canary drawing is quite good. Did you see it on TV?"
"This is my very capable older sister's pet. It's called 'Gold Glitter.' It's a very smart and intelligent canary, even smarter than my 'Egg Pie'," Liu Shiling replied.
The female teacher praised Liu Shiling a few more times, and then continued to inspect the other children's paintings. Compared to Liu Shiling, who had finished her painting long ago and was now lost in thought, most of the other children had only finished half of their paintings.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. This sudden downpour quickly filled the kindergarten yard, which was already in a low-lying area and had a poor drainage system, with water up to ankle-deep.
The female teacher answered a phone call, walked to the window and glanced at a small truck driving into the kindergarten gate. She then told the children to focus on their drawing and not to wander around. After that, she left the classroom, changed into her rain boots, and prepared to help unload the truck.
The kindergarten principal, the only two male teachers, and several female teachers who had been called over were all there to help unload the goods from the small truck as quickly as possible to prevent them from getting wet in the rain.
After the goods were unloaded, the driver got back into the truck and prepared to leave the kindergarten. However, while turning around, whether due to low visibility in the heavy rain or the driver's carelessness, the rear of the truck hit a utility pole, which slowly tilted into the rainwater.
At that moment, two male teachers wearing raincoats were standing in the water.
Liu Shiling had been staring blankly outside, suddenly opened her eyes wide upon seeing this scene, her heart pounding wildly.
Other children might not know what happens when electricity comes into contact with water, or what happens when someone gets an electric shock. But after demonstrating his control over electricity, Xiang Kun had emphasized the dangers of electricity to her, including the various possibilities of electric shock and the consequences. So she was very clear about what kind of harm the teachers who were still in the water would suffer if the utility pole were inserted into the water.
In that instant, the two Coin in her pocket seemed to be summoned, flying out on their own and landing in her hands hanging at her sides, where she held them tightly.
With a streak of lightning flashing across the sky in the distance, the entire kindergarten, including most of the surrounding block, lost power instantly.
Then Liu Shiling slumped onto the table and fell fast asleep, her hands still clutching the Coin tightly, a slight smile playing on her lips, as if she were dreaming of hearing the bald uncle praising her for using magic to save people and doing a good deed.
The sudden power outage caused the children in the classroom to scream and yell again. However, since it was still daytime, it wasn't actually that dark even though the lights were off. Plus, they were surrounded by their friends, so the children were just screaming for fun and weren't really scared.
The kindergarten principal, who had just finished unloading the goods, quickly told the teachers who had come to help to go back to their classrooms to comfort the children and prevent them from running out. Then, she and two male teachers who were standing in the rain went to check on the careless truck driver.
"Luckily, all the power lines here are underground, and there are no wires on this utility pole, otherwise it would have been dangerous," a male teacher said, still shaken.
Another male teacher nodded, "Yes... thankfully it didn't hit anyone when it fell." Then he frowned and said, "But... if this utility pole doesn't have any wires, why is our power outage?"
They approached the driver's cab and saw the truck driver staring intently at the top of the kindergarten's main building, his eyes filled with fear, shock, and confusion, as if he had seen some kind of monster.
"Hey, are you alright?" a male teacher asked.
The driver, dazed, pointed upwards at the building. "That... that..."
"What's there?" Both male teachers followed his gaze, but apart from the gloomy sky and the torrential rain, there was nothing unusual.
The driver opened his mouth several times, but ultimately couldn't say anything.
After bumping into the telephone pole, he intended to look at the principal and the others, but unexpectedly discovered that above the main building of the kindergarten, the rain had suddenly stopped, and all the rainwater had gathered into a strange shape—it looked like a crab standing upright.
Because the power was out all around, in the brief flash of lightning, he clearly saw the monster formed from flowing water.
But in the blink of an eye, the monster vanished again, and the rain once more wove a curtain of rain over the building.
I have a low-grade fever from a cold, my whole body aches, my mind is foggy, and my back hurts, so I had to unfortunately skip yesterday's update...
Lying in bed today, I tried using voice typing. When reciting the Little Chubby Girl's lines, I unconsciously used a baby voice. Luckily, no one heard me, or it would have been too embarrassing...ヾ()
