Assessment

Bonus ko-fi chapter

But Xing Fei wasn’t as lively as the dragon cubs that give childcare teachers headaches. She was quiet and even if she couldn’t sleep at night, she just quietly left her room and wrote in her diary in the hallway.

Shen Mian took Xing Fei and led her back to the dorm. The little girl automatically climbed onto the pink bed and sat on the soft quilt.

Shen Mian has already tested Xing Fei’s body temperature and there was no fever. Xingfei had been eating normally for the past two days, ruling out the possibility of not adjusting.
Although it’s common knowledge that cetacean dragons have a short sleep time, Xing Fei’s case was unique. Shen Mian was worried that the pain from dragonization made Xing Fei unable to sleep.

How could it be comfortable for the human body to grow pointy horns and a long, heavy tail? Human children will feel pain if their bones are rapidly growing. Xing Fei’s pain caused by such a violent process of dragonization could be imagined.

Shen Mian, “The doctor prescribed painkillers with no side effects, so be sure to tell me if it hurts.”

Xing Fei laid down on the bed, “It doesn’t hurt. I just can’t sleep.”

Shen Mian, “Aren’t you sleepy at all?”
It was only an hour-long nap at noon and now Shen Mian is regretting it a bit: I won’t coax Xing Fei to take a nap anymore.

Xing Fei shook her head.

“Dean…can I go to the library and get two books to read?”

It was very immoral to let Xing Fei endure until dawn.
Shen Mian pulled out a blanket to cover Xing Fei and took her to the library.

Although the library of the orphanage was still under construction, Shen Mian had purchased a large number of books for young dragons, which were temporarily placed in a classroom and turned into a library.

Xing Fei stood under the tall bookshelf and looked up to select books.

She was an incredibly well-read dragon cub and she had already read many of the fairy tale books on the shelves. Eyeing the rows of storybooks with lovely covers, Xing Fei walked past both shelves and picked travel notes.

Shen Mian helped her take it down.

“Do you like navigation?”
The books on this shelf were travel notes of various planets, which record the scenery and culture of different planets. The ratings are young dragon readings, and the content is mainly based on pictures, but because the knowledge contained is complex, from customs and history to geography, etc., It is still difficult for young dragons to read.

Xing Fei nodded, “En, I like the different dragon races from different places, they have lots of new and exciting habits.”

The little girl looked at Shen Mian, her eyes glowing, “I once read in a book that the main residence of gem dragons is on Dust Cloud Star, which has the most gem dragons in the empire. The author also mentions that the way adult gem dragons deal with crying cubs is to hang them on their tails, fling them up and throw them up very high before catching them, sometimes accidentally throwing them on the roof. Fortunately, the dragon cubs are sturdy and won’t break.”

Xing Fei slightly smiled, “It’s lovely to think about.”

Shen Mian, “…”
Dean Shen was suffocating just thinking about it – every dragon has an enigmatic culture of bringing up children.

Shen Mian looked down. Xing Fei’s eyes were bright with a yearning for an unknown planet and culture.

Xing Fei caressed the book cover lovingly, “I can’t go, though.”

Xing Fei is not physically suited for long-distance travel. Interstellar starships can make space jumps to shorten the trip, but space jumps can be uncomfortable for healthy adults and dragons alike, causing a sensation similar to motion sickness and in severe cases, temporary suffocation and vertigo.

Shen Mian raised his hand to gently stroke Xing Fei’s hair, conveying silent comfort.

The little girl looked up and smiled, “I’m not sad.”

Xing Fei gestured towards the entire library, “I can see beyond the galaxy now that I’m here.”

Whenever she had to endure extraordinarily long periods of pain when she was awake, she took comfort from the words written. Those words, when arranged in a wonderful combination, became sentences full of meaning. When set out as an essay, it allows thoughts to cross time and regions to reach other intelligent beings.

It was the companionship she could not afford to be without on the countless nights when she was alone.
She was never alone.

The girl with the pointy little horns embraced the heavy books, “I have a lot.”

Shen Mian was silent for a moment then gently curved the corner of his lips, “En, our Xing Fei is in a rich world.”
It’s within your heart.

　　九月二十一日

September 21st.

The statistic channel for the assessment of the empire’s childcare teachers closed and the registration period was over. The official website will announce the evaluation times for the childcare teachers.

The assessment is divided into three sections, including the one on professional knowledge, which is an exam on making a test paper. In total, there are six subjects and one day is only enough for two subjects, so the exam will take a total of three days.
The professional knowledge assessment was at the same time on every planet and started on October 3rd. Shen Mian’s test site was in a high school on Water Star.

When Shen Mian’s assessment information came out, He Xing took the little dragon cubs to watch from behind.

He Xing had Lu Yuan hanging on his arm, Yan Tan lying on his shoulder, the three heads gathered together to stare at Shen Mian’s quantum computer.

Shen Mian didn’t even look up, “Have you finished writing your draft, Lu Yuan?”

The little black and white fatty immediately wilted, “No. I only wrote two lines, it’s so hard to write poetry.”

The little fatty has spent every night since volunteering (being forced) to participate in Nova Magazine’s competition scratching his head and flipping through the dictionary trying to write a poem.

Yan Tan sympathetically touched the little fatty, “Then write a short essay.”

Lu Yuan, “But the essay requires 800 words! It’s harder! Isn’t that right Gian, have you finished writing?”

Gian tilted his head and blinked, “I’m done.”

Lu Yuan was shocked, Why?!
Wasn’t he and Gian the same species of dragon cub?

Oh yeah, he wasn’t.
Lu Yuan thought about it and spoke with certainty, “It must be because gem dragons are smarter than spotted dragons.”

He Xing lovingly pet Lu Yuan’s big head, “Don’t drag spotted dragons into the water, thank you.”

Lu Yuan, “Ying¹-”

Yan Tan suddenly spoke up, “Actually, I wrote a poem too. Do you want to see?”

Lu Yuan vigorously nodded, “Yes, maybe it’ll give me inspiration.”

Yan Tan went back to the dorm and flew back a moment later with a piece of paper and stood on the floor.
The black dragon cub cleared his throat, his expression serious and began to recite, “Title: My favourite person.”

“He has eyes like the night,
Skin like snow,
Hair like ink,
Lips with a light red tinge,
He’s that sparkly, with a precious golden heart,
He’s the one I love the most,
He…”

Shen Mian, “Hold on. Who is this?”
Is it Snow White? A person made of paint?

He Xing laughed until he gasped, “It should be you hahahahahaha.”

The little black dragon’s eyes shone brightly, “Correct!”

Shen Mian, “…”

He Xing looked down at him for a moment and held back a smile, “It’s actually very well written.”

Shen Mian looked directly at He Xing, “I will give you a chance to save yourself.”

The marshal is not afraid of death and is brave enough to die, “You see-“
He Xing touched the ends of Shen Mian’s hair and accidentally touched Shen Mian’s neck. His fingertips were scorched by the hot temperature and at first, he was stunned, but he hurriedly laughed in order to cover up his distraction, “Hair and eyes like the night, skin like a blizzard…Ah!

Shen Mian gripped He Xing’s wrist and violently pressed down.

He Xing didn’t resist at all and let him take a squeeze, with only one thought in his head: The cold dean was really warm.
His hands were also very warm when beating him up.

……

Although Dean Shen felt absolutely fine with the assessment, he would still go through one or two sets of papers every night to avoid any accidents.
On days like these, October 3rd finally arrived.

Professional knowledge is the examination all childcare teachers of Water Star take. When Shen Mian arrived at the examination room, the entrance of the high school was already crowded with childcare teachers who had also come to take the assessment.

The assessment is of extraordinary significance to the entire childcare teacher industry and as part of basic education, it often attracts attention from the community – for example, some official media will come over for interviews, taking material for the local news.

So some centres will also take the opportunity to advertise by chartering suspension vehicles to send childcare teachers to take exams, putting the centre’s name on the vehicles and even asking dragon cubs to wait by the vehicles to show that the teachers and students have a good relationship and to give themselves a wave of free advertising.

So He Xing dragged his family with him, taking four dragon cubs by himself and appeared in the group that were sending the dragons to the assessment, which was surprisingly not very unexpected.

This was Shen Mian’s first time seeing this battle. He originally thought that He Xing and the four little dragon cubs coming to send him to the assessment was already very exaggerated and did not expect that there was someone holding a banner just to send their teachers in.

“Good luck to all the teachers from Guangcai Childcare Centre!”

“Babies from Treasure Childcare Centre wish the teachers full marks!”

There was also a banner for the baby dragons to hold, which shamelessly wrote in the dragon cubs’ tone: “Love the teacher, love Warm Spring Childcare Centre, the teachers have worked hard.”

Shen Mian only just knew how shameless these centres were.

He Xing held Xing Fei in his arms, “See, I told you we should have had a banner.”

Shen Mian, “…”
Without looking back, he squeezed into the group of childcare teachers waiting for the exam.

Both Gian and Xing Fei were a little nervous.

He Xing’s attention was rather crooked, he looked around and found that most of the centres had pulled banners. He thought about it and was a bit reluctant. He immediately contacted the nearest virtual store that made banners based on his location on the StarNet and raised the price to have the other party rush out a banner.

The banner was delivered in twenty minutes.

He Xing opened it, took a look at it and was very satisfied with the banner. He beckoned Yan Tan over.

The little black dragon cub leaned in upside down.

He Xing: “Yan Tan Tan, you see all the cubs from other centres holding banners for their teachers who are here to take the exam, our dean should also have one too, right?”

Yan Tan looked around and felt that He Xing was right, “Our dean is the dean, we must have one!”

He Xing shook the banner in his hand, “I’ve also prepared one for the dean, hang it high up for all the dragons to see, okay?”

Yan Tan was successfully fooled, received the banner and flew up high, shaking it open with a clatter.

The red banner had a message on it written in gold: “Dean Shen Mian Shen, you are the light, the legend, Qiming Childcare Centres star!”
