Do Baby Dragons Have to Go to Kindergarten Too?

Coming next: Island Survival: My Starting Teammate Is an Egg. The blurb is below. This novel is complete, and I’ll be making occasional revisions and posting extra chapters.

[Blurb]

On the day of his graduation, Jiang Bing’s advisor offered him a job:

A monthly salary of four thousand, with room and board. It was a perfect fit for his early-childhood education major, though the location was a bit far away.

Jiang Bing packed his bags at once and climbed into the black car sent to pick him up. As long as there was work, he said, he didn’t mind how hard or far away it was.

Then the car stopped, and he found himself in another world.

He lived in a gloomy old castle, ate witch’s mushroom soup, and drank treant juice.

And the little ones he was supposed to teach... were a group of baby dragons who could breathe fire!

Jiang Bing turned and ran. “I quit! Let me go home!”

The driver, castle owner, and Dragon King, Aschit, frowned slightly and took back the first month’s salary he’d been about to advance.

Jiang Bing: “...Wait! You didn’t say the four thousand was in gold coins.”

The little red dragon refused to eat, so Jiang Bing tried all kinds of ways to make baby food. The little red dragon ate until its belly was so round it couldn’t fly.

The little blue dragon refused to sleep, so he read it modern history as a lullaby. The little blue dragon started snoring at once and couldn’t be woken up.

The little purple dragon breathed fire and burned off his hair, so... he had no choice but to report it to the higher-ups.

The little purple dragon’s father, Jiang Bing’s advisor, told him to handle it himself and said he trusted him.

So Jiang Bing simply made the little purple dragon the star performer.

When the advisor came to pick it up, the little purple dragon refused to leave, too busy playing the villain and listening to the audience cheer.

The nursery for baby dragons became famous far and wide. The elves, dwarves, and merfolk all wanted to send their children there.

But instead of getting any little ones, they got slandered: the nursery was accused of using a performance as an excuse to abuse baby dragons.

Jiang Bing: “How is a children’s performance abuse?”

So a team organized by the baby dragons themselves set out with Jiang Bing and the nursery director, Aschit.

By chance, they ended up receiving an invitation to perform in the human world.

The baby dragons: “We’re going!”

Soon, their praises swept through every corner of the other world, turning into piles of gold coins.

Just as Jiang Bing was about to accept sponsorship and expand the nursery, Aschit arrived with all his possessions and a contract.

Jiang Bing accepted everything without even looking, then signed the contract. A golden light fell on his arm, branding him with an eternal mark.

Aschit solemnly declared, “In the name of Wentu Helatuzi Aschit Leu, I swear: from this day forth, your bloodline and my flames will burn together until the end of time.”

Jiang Bing: “...Huh? A marriage contract?”

Reader’s Guide:

1. Pairing: the aloof, forthright nursery director Aschit x the dramatic, wildly imaginative early-childhood teacher Jiang Bing. One-on-one, both are each other’s first.

2. Western fantasy childcare story, with lots of original worldbuilding. Dragon marriage contracts are unique and last as long as life itself.

Coming next: Island Survival: My Starting Teammate Is an Egg

Blurb:

[Talkative, fussy, overconfident top x cold-faced, wickedly handsome survival expert bottom]

Most people would probably die after being shipwrecked.

But Yu Luan discovered he’d been dropped onto a deserted island, where he’d have to survive for half a year.

Yu Luan: A construction game?

If you want to live, rely on your own two hands. If you don’t, leave it to fate.

Just as Yu Luan was about to start gathering firewood and building a shelter, he got a survival guide and... an egg?!

A familiar short-video sound effect rang in Yu Luan’s ears, and he suddenly understood why he’d been dropped here.

[If you had to drift on a deserted island for half a year, what kind of teammate would you choose?]

A. A beautiful mermaid, but at night it turns into a fish-man and treats you as a midnight snack.

B. A handsome vampire, but it keeps taking a bite out of your neck for no reason.

C. A useless, perfectly round egg.

Yu Luan: How is this even a choice? I’ll take the egg!

Egg: You got a problem with me?!

Yu Luan was forced to work hard, but the fussy egg caused trouble all day long. All he could do was...

Spend the morning building things, tying the egg to a branch and using it to find a place to settle.

Spend the afternoon cooking, tying the egg up as bait and dangling it in the sea to catch food.

Spend the night sleeping, wrapping the egg in his arms... and cuddling it to sleep.

His peaceful life fell apart when his egg vanished and a naked, red-haired man with an eight-pack and an enviable physique appeared in his bed, soaking wet.

Yu Luan: You ate my egg?!

Augustine Feer (the egg): Yep ^^

Reader’s Guide:

1. Both are each other’s first. The top turns human later on, and they’re a little combative with each other.

2. Pairing dynamic: fiery top x wicked bottom.

3. Slice of life with lots of hard-core construction. Basic knowledge comes from survival videos and farming games, along with plenty of made-up stuff. Weibo: Mai Xiaoyu Mu~
