Uma Musume, from entry level to basement

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Thank you..." Qicao took the water bottle, opened it and took a few sips. The cool water flowed in, making her feel the burning sensation in her throat relieved a lot.

"Let's continue." Qi Cao collected the water and prepared to continue interpreting the next seedling for Tang Han, "This is..."

But this time the situation was slightly different, because when Qi Cao was about to tell the status of the sunflower seedling, Tang Han's voice arrived before her.

"This is due to lack of water and sunlight." Tang Han said calmly.

"You learned it?!" Qicao turned his head in shock and looked at Tang Han in disbelief.

Because what Tang Hangang said was right, this seedling lacked both water and sunlight!

"What about this one?" The air tank pointed to the next sunflower seedling.

Tang Han: "Nothing is missing."

"You really learned it!" Qi Cao was surprised.

Originally, she was still worried about how to make Tang Han feel his inner voice. Unexpectedly, after listening to his strange request and explaining to him the sunflower seedlings in half of the experimental shed, he actually succeeded in reading the inner voice of the flowers!

It had only been an hour since the start, and this trainer, Tang Han, had already been able to hear the flowers' inner voices without her guidance! This learning speed was much faster than that of the genius, the Emperor of the East Sea!

"Great!" Qi Cao was very excited, and his ears and tail were swinging at a high frequency.

Now that trainer Tang Han has learned to listen to the flowers' inner thoughts, the progress of the experiment can be greatly accelerated, and catching the mysterious man is just around the corner!

However, when Qi Cao turned around and looked at Tang Han, she found that Tang Han's attention was not on the flowers at this time, but was staring at her face, as if thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Qicao touched his face in confusion, thinking that there was something dirty, but after touching it again, there was nothing.

"It's okay..." Tang Han shook his head and looked back at the notebook in his hand that was full of notes.

In fact, he didn't listen to the flowers' feelings just now...

On the contrary, he had actually been observing Qi Trough's demeanor for the past hour.

Because to be honest, for Tang Han, it is easier to read Qi Cao's expression than to feel Hua's thoughts.

Although Qi Cao's expression is now cold and his emotions hardly change, with only a slight and imperceptible difference, it is at least observable.

Just now, he indirectly guessed the approximate state of Sunflower by comparing and analyzing the micro-expressions and movements of the Qi Trough.

Because Tang Han felt that instead of spending time learning to feel something as intangible as Hua Xinsheng, it would be better to use this time to interpret Qi Cao's micro-expressions.

Therefore, Tang Han suddenly thought of an idea that was particularly outrageous, but also had a hint of rationality.

It's very simple, that is to let the Qi Cao read the heart of the flower, and then Tang Han will read the heart of the Qi Cao...

Doesn’t that mean Tang Han also understood Hua’s mind?

However, Tang Han would not tell Qi Cao about this, so as to avoid the other party thinking that he was a pervert who liked to observe girls' expressions.

So Tang Han put away his notes and said to Qi Cao:

"Yes, Mr. Qi Cao, I will listen."

...

181. Now that things have come to this, first...

"Yes, Teacher Qicao, I will listen." Tang Han said to Qicao.

Although the object of my listening is not the flowers, but you...

"That's great..." Qicao was relieved after hearing the news.

As a teacher who teaches and educates, the great sense of accomplishment you get from watching your students go from knowing nothing at the beginning, then gradually gaining a partial understanding, and finally fully mastering the knowledge you teach is incomparable to anything else!

"Hu..." Qicao closed his eyes as if relieved and exhaled comfortably.

"Hey? Traina, look..." At this time, the Emperor of the East China Sea behind him tugged at Tang Han's sleeve, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

She stood on tiptoe and whispered to Tang Han's ear:

"Look, Trena, Senior Qi Cao is smiling..."

And the fact is indeed the same as what the Emperor of the East China Sea said. At this moment, the corners of Qi Cao's mouth were slightly raised. Although the amplitude was not large, compared with her usual depressed look with the corners of her mouth always drooping, this slightly upward corner of her mouth seemed particularly rare and obvious.

Master! The young lady finally smiled!

"Ahem...I know..." Tang Han coughed awkwardly a few times, then made a gesture of silence to the Emperor of the East China Sea, indicating her not to say it out loud.

In fact, Tang Han knew that Qi Cao was smiling at this moment without the reminder of the East China Sea Emperor. After all, he had been observing Qi Cao's micro-expressions and demeanor.

But Tang Han would not say it to their face, because for introverted and autistic people, it is very embarrassing to be discovered laughing by others. So once they realize that others are focusing too much attention on their smiles, they often choose to force their joy to cool down and turn their bitter faces back into theirs.

Therefore, Tang Han chose to drag the Emperor of the East China Sea to play ostrich, ignoring Qi Cao's smile at this moment, and let her not be affected by the surrounding eyes, and be happy for a while longer...

"Trainer Tang Han, what's our next step..." Qi Cao opened his eyes and looked at Tang Han expectantly.

"Yeah." Tang Han nodded and took out a bottle of plant growth agent from his pocket.

"Preparations are complete. It's time to speed up the experiment and make a sunflower bloom perfectly."

"Yeah, yeah!" Qicao nodded excitedly. She took the time to teach Tang Han how to listen to Hua's inner voice just for this!

Speed ​​up the experiment! First, successfully cultivate a sunflower! Then, move on to the more difficult Epiphyllum! Finally...finally...finally, what's the final thing to do?

Qicao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly she couldn't remember why she wanted to see the night-blooming cereus bloom...

Yes! A mysterious man! It's a mysterious man!

Qicao almost forgot that the purpose of her cultivating the Epiphyllum was to lure out that evil mysterious man and then catch him!

"Trainer Tang Han, when do we start?" The thought of being able to ravage that guy soon made him unable to calm down, and his whole body was trembling slightly with excitement.

"......" Seeing Qicao so excited, Tang Han shook his head helplessly and had to pour a basin of cold water on her hot heart.

"Now is not the best time to grow sunflowers..." Tang Han explained, looking at the sun gradually sinking in the sky, "It is best to wait until the sun sets completely, that is, at night, when we can freely control the amount of ultraviolet light the plants absorb through fluorescent lamps. This is the best time to grow sunflowers."

"To grow a sunflower from seed to bloom, even if we have plant growth chemicals to shorten the growth cycle, it should still take a whole night, requiring us to stay up all night to operate..."

"so....."

Tang Han raised a finger and suggested, "Now that things have come to this, let's eat first. We can talk about tonight's affairs tonight."

"But..." Having already seen the success just around the corner, he was unwilling to stop and wanted to fight for it.

But the sudden rumbling sound from her stomach instantly stopped the words from coming out of her mouth.

"Gurgle..." A day of hard work had drained all the energy in her body. Even if she wanted to fight hard, she had no strength to continue.

"Senior Qicao, let's go eat first..." At this time, the Emperor of the East China Sea stepped forward and took Qicao's hand, helping to persuade him, "If you have an empty stomach, you will have no strength. If you have no strength, you can't run fast, and you can't do any work~"

"The Emperor is right..." Tang Han nodded and explained to Qi Cao, "We must stay up late tonight. We can't make it on an empty stomach..."

"Teacher Qicao, you don't want to collapse from hunger before even meeting the mysterious man." Tang Han said in a mean way.

"Gu..." Tang Han's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the vital point of the qi groove.

After careful consideration, Qicao finally gave in.

"Okay... let's go eat first..." Qicao lowered his head in frustration, as if he had lost all his strength.

"But!" Qicao suddenly changed the subject.

"You have to promise me that we will start cultivating immediately after we finish our meal and it becomes completely dark."

Qi Cao crossed her arms across her chest, facing the other side, not even looking at Tang Han, as if she would not leave if Tang Han did not agree.

"Okay, okay, I agree..." After hearing this, Tang Han nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Because the air tank was not an outrageous request, and Tang Han originally wanted to cultivate sunflowers as soon as possible. It was just that this experiment would be more convenient to do at night, so he suggested eating first.

Since Qi Cao wanted to start working after dinner, Tang Han would follow her wishes and accompany her for a while...

.....

At the entrance of the cafeteria of Tresen College.

Tang Han was stunned for a moment when he looked at the magical building in front of him that could provide enough food for all the pony girls in the academy.

When was the last time he came to the cafeteria to eat?

It seems like a few months ago, I was drunk and frantically giving his S-rank honey drink to the horsegirls in the cafeteria...

Originally, Tang Han didn't want to come here. After all, he didn't need to come to the cafeteria for meals. He could just take out the honey drink from his item space to fill his stomach.

But he couldn't let Qi Cao and the Emperor of the East China Sea do the same as him and fill their stomachs with honey drinks, which were not nutritionally balanced, so he had to come here with the two horse girls and have a meal in the cafeteria after a long time.

"Let's finish eating quickly and go back..." Qicao said, and entered the cafeteria first, ready to eat something to fill his stomach and then go back.

Tang Han and the Emperor of the East Sea glanced at each other and followed...

182. Gas Tank: Idiot!

After ordering their food, the three of them found an empty seat and sat down.

As soon as they sat down, the Emperor of the East China Sea and Tang Han discovered something was wrong.

"Senior Qicao, is this all you're going to eat?" The Emperor of the East China Sea couldn't help but ask as he looked at the food on Qicao's plate.

"I don't have much appetite." The gas tank replied.

"But you eat less than me..." Tang Han frowned and pointed at the plate with only a few slices of barley bread on it.

As we all know, in order to support the physique of horse girls that is far superior to that of humans, they have to eat several times more than humans, otherwise it will definitely affect their physical health and even leave a root of harm to their bodies.

But now there is a serious problem, that is, the amount of food on the plate is less than half of what Tang Han has eaten...

"I just have no appetite..." Qicao ignored Tang Han's question, picked up a piece of bread, and put it directly into his mouth, filling his mouth.

"Good luck.....Chi Wan.....Let's go back....(Let's finish eating quickly and go back)" Because his mouth was full of bread, Qi Cao's speech was a little unclear at this time.

Now Tang Han understood that Qigou chose to eat so little so that he could plant sunflowers faster.

I’m afraid that she eats so little on a daily basis, so she has no energy at all.

"This won't do..." Tang Han stood up and pushed his untouched plate in front of the gas tank.

"I'm not going back unless you eat more."

"Me! Me too!" The Emperor of the East China Sea also stood up at this time and pushed his food to the gas tank.

"Gu..." Qicao looked at the increasing amount of food in front of her and leaned back in disgust. She didn't want to waste time eating these things at all. After all, for her now, eating was just to fill her stomach. Instead of wasting time on eating, she might as well go back to plant flowers...

But when she looked up and saw the resolute expressions of Tang Han and the Emperor of the East China Sea, she realized her miserable situation - there would be a reward if she finished eating, and there would be a punishment if she didn't.

The reward is to go back and plant flowers, and the punishment is to stay here until she finishes eating...

"Gu..." Helplessly, Qi Cao could only pull the food in front of him closer, pick up the knife and fork and prepare to finish it quickly.

"Don't eat too fast." Tang Han warned.

"....." Qicao's action of opening his mouth wide to stuff the whole steak into his mouth froze instantly. After staring at Tang Han speechlessly, he could only silently put the steak back on the plate, then cut it into small pieces with a knife and fork, and put it into his mouth to chew slowly.

"That's right." Tang Han sat back in his chair with satisfaction, looking at the air tank like an old father.

Young people are in the period of growth and must eat well, especially these young pony girls.

Although Tang Han is not very old, as Treson's trainer, he has the responsibility to supervise the diet and health of every pony girl.

"Tang Han, Traina, I'll go get two more meals." The Emperor of the East China Sea said to Tang Han.

Because both of them had run out of food, the Emperor of the East China Sea planned to bring back another portion for himself and Tang Han.

"Okay, please." Tang Han needed to be here all the time to supervise whether Qi Ang was eating seriously, so he let the Emperor of the East China Sea go alone.

"....." Qicao was a little angry when she saw that Tang Han didn't give her any chance to cheat. She didn't understand why Tang Han liked to control her so much when he was just a stranger who had known her for only a day...

"He's obviously a stranger..." Qi Cao muttered to himself.

Seeing how quickly he learned to listen to his heart, I thought he was a smart guy...

As a result, his meddling behavior has made me have a much worse impression of him. He is just like an idiot who doesn't care about other people's feelings at all...

But even so, somehow, she could feel her heart, which had been cold since that day, begin to heat up. She didn't know if it was because of anger or something else...

Tang Han: "Eat your meal carefully and don't think about other things."

Gas Tank: "Gu..."

What a fool!
