Chapter 2897 Conjecture
Xue Jiamin had a vague feeling in his heart that he was the only one who could see the leopard with a human face.

No.

He thought of another person.

Maybe……

He can see it too.

……

In order to blur the surface of his strange question, Xue Jiamin asked a lot of other questions later.

……

"...a leopard with a human face..."

The teacher repeated softly.

She looked at Xue Jiamin.

This was the only question the child asked both her and his parents.

She pondered in her mind.

Why is this kid so obsessed with this issue?
Is there anything special about this problem?
Could it be that this child really saw a leopard with a human face?

The teacher shook his head in amusement.

How can it be?

Children are innocent.

She can't be too fanciful.

……

Did I see something wrong?
The teacher seemed thoughtful.

what is it then?

Can children see a leopard with a human face?
The teacher couldn't help but press his forehead.

As an adult who had long left her childhood, she had no way of resonating with children in terms of imagination.

She couldn’t figure it out…

She doesn’t understand either…

What on earth could make a child think he saw a leopard with a human face?
……

The teacher shook his head.

She gave up.

Besides, she wasn't sure whether this was the issue the child cared about.

What if she thought about it for a long time and found out that the child was not thinking about this problem at all...

Didn't she waste her efforts?

Therefore, it is most important to allow children to express their own ideas.

Only effective communication can provide the right medicine.

Their time is running out.

She must get the child back to normal today.

She didn't want to see a child crying because of losing the game.

There is hope for this child to continue moving forward.

She hoped that the child could bring honor to the school and himself.

……

But she wanted to help the child...

But the child didn't want to believe her.

There was nothing she could do.

She couldn't force the child to tell her what he was thinking, could she?
……

"never mind."

The teacher shook his head.

"Go back."

……

"teacher……"

Xue Jiamin felt the teacher's helplessness.

He was a little uneasy.

……

"fine."

The teacher smiled at the children.

"Go back and practice the piano."

……

"Xue Jiamin."

When the child turned around, the teacher called him.

Xue Jiamin turned his head.

"Do you remember what you told me before?"

The teacher curled up the corners of his mouth.

"I'm just asking you if you're nervous about participating in the competition."

"Tell me."

"You're not nervous."

"You said you would achieve excellent results and bring honor to the school."

"You haven't forgotten?"

……

Xue Jiamin was slightly stunned.

Then he shook his head.

"No."

He remembers.

He said this to his teacher, his parents.

Dad also said that he was very confident and careful not to make any mistakes.

Mom blamed Dad for being a pessimist and said he would definitely be able to do it.

The teacher also said that he believed he could do it.

He himself believed that he could do it.

……

"That's good."

The teacher arched his eyebrows.

"Go."

"time is limited."

"Practice more."

“Find the feeling.”

……

"Ah."

Xue Jiamin turned and walked into the practice room.

.....
The teacher was stunned for a moment.

Then he walked into the practice room.

……

Soon, the door of the practice room was pushed open again. Xue Jiamin walked out with his head lowered.

The teacher asked him to go back to his room and rest for a while.

He will come back when he feels his condition has recovered.

The teacher said that if he continued to stay in the piano room, he would disturb other students' practice.

The more he practices, the worse his mentality and condition will become.

……

Even though he was unwilling, Xue Jiamin still obediently left the practice room as the teacher instructed.

……

He returned to his room.

……

After closing the door, Xue Jiamin's shoulders drooped.

He was actually not sure...why he didn't tell the teacher about Song Heng.

The teacher must remember Song Heng as well.

Maybe the teacher knows more about Song Heng than he does?
For example, the leopard in Song Heng’s mouth...does the teacher know about it?
Xue Jiamin suddenly wanted to ask the teacher...

……

but……

What if the teacher doesn’t know?

and many more.

He knocked his head.

He found himself confused.

Didn’t he just ask the teacher?

Are there leopards with human faces?
The teacher thought he was talking about cartoons.

but……

He tapped his head again.

He found himself confused again.

The leopard with a human face that he saw might not be the same leopard that Song Heng saw.

It's all just his guess.

Maybe... they saw the same leopard.

Maybe…they were seeing a different leopard.

The correct answer can only be known by finding Song Heng.

……

Xue Jiamin felt tired of standing.

He didn't sit on the bed.

He sat down on the floor, next to the bed.

He buried his face in his knees.

The darkness made him more focused.

He wanted to recall more carefully the memory that he had forgotten for several years.

……

A leopard with a human face...

Such a conspicuous presence...

Why didn’t mom see it at that time?
Or has it been a few years and mom has forgotten?

My mother is particularly afraid of animals like cats and dogs.

Mom said she was chased by a dog when she was a child.

As for cats, it is said that my grandmother’s neighbor used to have a black cat.

Green eyes.

Somewhat penetrating.

……

My mother was once locked out of her house when it was raining.

Her grandmother asked her to stay at her grandmother's house next door for a while.

Mom fell asleep on the sofa in grandma's house next door.

And then... I had a nightmare.

When she woke up, she found the black cat's green eyes right in front of her.

Like it's glowing.

She was terribly frightened.

The shout was particularly loud.

The black cat was frightened by her and scratched her face without any hesitation.

Mom was in pain and scared.

I cried so hard that I was out of breath.

The old lady hurried over and asked what happened.
Then I was frightened by the blood stains on the child's face.

……

Coincidentally, grandma knocked on the neighbor's door at this time.

In short, the last piece was a mess.

There was a shallow scar on my mother's face.

Not obvious.

But my grandmother couldn't let it go.

The grandma next door is so sorry.

She gave the cat away.

One day, my mother saw the black cat on her way home from school.

Mom doesn’t know if it’s the same black cat.

Looking into those green eyes, she froze.

That cat doesn't look good.

Skinny.

It makes the eyes look even bigger, which is frightening.

Flashing a faint green light.

For some reason, the mother felt a chill on her back.

For no reason, she felt that this cat was the same one that had scratched her face before.

It blames her.

……

why?
After reacting, the mother was puzzled.

The black cat scratched her face.

This guy ended up blaming her.
"Is this reasonable?"

She murmured quietly.

……

My mother was patted by a classmate who was walking behind her.
