Chapter 152 – Foolish Humans (2)
“Ha?” With her tongue stuck tightly to the iron gate, Chen Sanke glanced at Chen Yu with difficulty and asked, “Cahn’t ah eck et?”
Smack.
Chen Yu facepalmed, his mind unsure where to start commenting.
Chen Yike: “Brother, Third Eldest is stuck.”
“I can see that.”
“What should we do?”
“Go help her, of course!”
Chen Yu ran forward in a rage, his mind filled with the urge to swear at Chen Sanke. However, when he saw the little human’s pitiful state, he found himself unable to curse. “Are you…alright?”
“Uh-huh!” Chen Sanke waved her hand indifferently. “Ahly mah tahn gah hack. (Only my stuck got stuck.)”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Yah gah can ga. (You guys can go.)”
“What should we do?” Chen Yike stamped anxiously. “I’ll go buy some water!”
“You need to get hot water.”
“I’ll help pull her!” Chen Erke enthusiastically suggested.
“You’re clearly trying to get revenge!” Chen Yu bellowed.
“Cahn’t eck da gahde. (Can’t lick the gate.)”
“What did she say?”
Raising her hand, Chen Erke interpreted, “I think she wants us to pull her!”
“Second Eldest, you stay away! Don’t create a bigger mess!”
“Fine.” Chen Erke walked away in frustration. After taking a few steps, though, she reluctantly asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to try it?”
“Go!”
At this time, two female kindergarten teachers ran over, each one of them holding a thermos in their hands. After running up to Chen Yu, one of the teachers said, “Please make some space. Everything will be alright once I pour some hot water on her tongue.”
“Is the water boiling?” Chen Yu asked, frowning. “Don’t burn my sister.”
“It won’t. I’ve mixed cold water with it, so it’s warm. We’re experienced with these situations, so just step aside.”
“I’ll have to trouble you, then.” Chen Yu pulled Chen Yike a few steps back with him. He then asked, “You said you’re experienced in this. Does that mean many other children try to lick the iron gate as well?”
Hearing Chen Yu’s words, the other female teacher glared at him and asked, “Did you tell her she cannot lick the iron gate?”
“That’s right.”
“You can’t say that to children!” the female teacher berated angrily. “If you don’t tell them, who in their right might would think of licking the iron gate?!”
Chen Yu: “…”
“A few of these cases happen every year. Parents are just unnecessarily worried.”
“Well, my mistake, then.” Chen Yu smiled wryly. “I won’t repeat it.”
Blinking her eyes, Chen Sanke repeated, “Cahn’t eck da gahde. (Can’t lick the gate.)”
“Don’t worry, Sanke.” Thinking that Chen Sanke was scared, the teacher standing beside Chen Sanke said, “I’ll pour some water over your tongue now. It’s not hot, so don’t move around.”
Chen Sanke: “Dah yah wahnt tah eck et ah wellh? (Do you want to lick it as well?)”
“Don’t be afraid. Be good~~” The teacher gently patted Chen Sanke’s head with her left hand while raising the thermos in her right hand. She then carefully poured warm water over Chen Sanke’s pink little tongue.
Dribble…
As the warm water dripped on the joint between the tongue and the iron gate, Chen Sanke felt very comfortable.
“Hah fahn. (How fun.)”
The teachers had prepared two thermoses. However, as only a small part of Chen Sanke’s tongue was in contact with the iron gate, they managed to thaw Chen Sanke’s tongue with just one bottle.
“It’s done! Sanke, good girl!” The teacher breathed out a sigh of relief as she stroked Chen Sanke’s puffy head. “I’ll reward you with a little red flower once we’re inside.”
Stretching out her tongue, Chen Sanke asked, “You get little flowers if you lick the gate?”
Chen Yike: “…”
The two female teachers: “…”
“Hahaha!” Chen Yu could not help but laugh at Chen Sanke’s words. “Her thought process resembles me!”
Meanwhile, Chen Sanke smacked her lips as she savored the flavor on her tongue. “So, this is the taste of iron.”
One of the female teachers: “That’s the taste of your blood…”
“Oh.” Chen Sanke nodded ignorantly.
“Alright, don’t lick the gate next time. Go to school and listen to your teachers,” Chen Yu said as he patted Chen Sanke’s shoulder. He then turned toward the two teachers and politely bowed, “Thank you, teachers.”
“It’s okay. We’re used to it,” one of the teachers said, waving her hand. “Don’t tell children these strange things in the future. They have poor willpower and are prone to danger.”
“I understand. Goodbye, teachers.”
“Goodbye.” The female teacher nodded and pulled on Chen Sanke’s hand. “Let’s go. It’s cold here.”
“Let’s go as well,” Chen Yu said. However, after he had turned around and walked a few steps forward with Chen Yike, he suddenly felt that the sound of their footsteps was a little too light. “Huh? Where’s Second Eldest?”
“Second Eldest?” Chen Yike was stunned.
“Crap! Not good!”
Chen Yu quickly reacted and turned around. Immediately afterward, his complexion darkened.
As he feared, Chen Erke currently had her tongue glued to the iron gate…
“…”
“…Are you stupid?!” Chen Yu roared. “Third Eldest just got stuck! Did you not learn anything from it?!”
“Ha! (Oh!)!” With a calm face, Chen Erke vaguely said, “Ah kno waht Thir Eldah wah sahyin befah (I know what Third Eldest was saying before.)”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Shi sahd yah cahn’t lick dah gate. (She said you can’t lick the gate.)”
“Just what are you saying?” Chen Yu frowned as he walked toward the gate. Right now, he even had the thought of giving Chen Erke a slap.”
“Dahn’t wahry abaht mah (Don’t worry about me.” Her gaze sharpening, Chen Erke said, “Lah Thir Eldah puh mah. (Let Third Eldest pull me.)”
“Ugh.”
Sighing deeply, Chen Yu quickly ran to the two distant kindergarten teachers and shouted, “Teachers, can you come back again?”
The teachers: “???”
“Another one of my little sisters got stuck.”
The teachers: “…”
“Please help. Don’t you have another bottle of water?”
The two teachers were at a loss for words as they exchanged looks with each other.
After instructing Chen Sanke to return to class on her own, the two teachers hurriedly ran to the gate. After seeing Chen Erke’s pitiful appearance, one of the teachers quickly unscrewed her thermos’ cap and poured warm water over Chen Erke’s tongue.
Chen Erke: “Lah Thir Eldah puh mah! (Let Third Eldest pull me!)”
“I’m really sorry for the trouble,” Chen Yu awkwardly said and bowed. “These two little sisters of mine are idiots.”
Chen Erke: “Lah Thir Eldah puh mah!”
Meanwhile, Chen Yike, who stood at a side, agonizingly scratched her head as she muttered, “What’s so good about licking gates? Are you crazy…”
After saying so, Chen Yike’s eyes fell onto the iron gate, and her mind fell into deep thought. Half a minute later, she couldn’t help but tentatively stick out her tongue…
Coincidentally, Chen Yu also caught sight of this scene…
“Alright.” Covering his face with both hands, Chen Yu said, “Actually, all three of my little sisters are idiots.”
…
At the same time, Chen Sanke ran back to her classroom while panting for air. Looking at her several dozen friends in the room, she excitedly clapped her hands.
Clap, clap, clap!
After successfully attracting the attention of her friends, she proudly gestured while saying, “I have something to tell you guys! Don’t lick the iron gate!”
“Why?” a little boy asked while wiping his snotty nose.
“Because… Because your tongue will get stuck if you lick it!” Chen Sanke clumsily explained.
“Wow!”
“How amazing.”
“Really?”
“Why?”
The children’s eyes glittered with excitement. Afterward, every one of them ran out of the classroom in a hurry…
…
“What a disaster…”
Thirty minutes later, Chen Yu arrived inside Sixth High’s compound. When he recalled the sight of the two wailing female teachers, he could not help feel a lingering fear in his heart.
“Just what is so nice about licking a gate? Are they crazy?!”
Chen Yu repeatedly cursed as he walked through the compound. However, when he laid eyes on the iron railing on the teaching block’s first floor…
