After 'visiting' the sanatorium and confirming some details to be modified, it was already evening. After bidding farewell to Hinata Haru, Hyuga Kai returned home and continued to use the physical activation technique to stimulate eye cells.
In the evening, Hinata Qi planned to go to the Zong family to talk about Shennong. The closer we get to victory, the more cautious we must be and not give any loopholes.
But before he went out, he sensed Ningci's figure, and the border collie came with him.
Neji and Bian Mu stood together, and Hinata Kei could feel it without even looking. At this moment, Neji and Bian Mu were like two spectators, with reserved expressions and no special emotions.
He opened the courtyard door and invited Neji in. As for the border collie, the first time he saw Hinata Kai, he curled his tail and lay in front of the yard door, refusing to come forward.
Hinata Kei knew that it was probably frightened, so he ignored it and said to Neji: "You came to me a little later than I expected."
Neji looked at Hinata Kei, who always had a gentle face in front of him, and subconsciously explained: "I have been studying the principles you gave me during this period. I was worried that I would not learn well, so I didn't come."
"You're not a border collie, so don't be afraid of me." Sensing Neci's nervousness, Hinata Kei smiled and said, "Remember what I said to you when we first met? We are a family."
Hearing this, Neji breathed a sigh of relief. He was really scared when facing Hinata Kei. After all, he realized last time that the smiling psychiatrist in front of him was probably more sinister than any other existence behind his smile.
After a moment of silence, Neji said, "The family said that you will be my teacher."
"What do you think?" Hinata Kei did not rush to agree, but said: "You must know that I am just a blind man. Now I can't use my Byakugan ability. I'm afraid I can't teach you much about soft fist."
"So if you want a stronger teacher, I can talk to the family and ask them to change it for you."
Neji shook his head and said seriously: "No, I want you to be my teacher!"
"Are you sure? There are some things you can't regret if you agree to them."
"I'm sure." Neji said directly without hesitation: "Because I want a teacher who can teach me the power of my heart, not a teacher who only has superficial skills."
Feeling Neji's determination, Hinata Kai nodded. The last diagnosis and treatment was not in vain.
However, Neji is still young after all, and he may not be able to understand all the truths, so Hinata Kei asked: "I heard that you haven't said anything about complaining about the clan recently?"
Neji nodded and said: "Because teacher, you told me that a dog that bites will not bark. So I understand that I need to be patient until my strength is not enough."
"In this process, I should restrain my edge and try not to make people feel that I am a threat."
Hinata Kei nodded and said: "Not bad, you have a strong ability to understand. At least you are not like some idiot who refuses to listen even after being told several times."
Neji didn't understand, so he asked: "Some idiot?"
"You will have the opportunity to know in the future." Hinata Kei did not answer, but said: "But although you understand what I told you, you haven't done enough."
Neji frowned, thinking back on his changes, trying to find his shortcomings.
After a while, Ningci couldn't think of it, so he solemnly said: "Teacher, please teach me!"
Hinata Kei was very pleased with Neji's choice. Neji is considered to be a patient with better results after his diagnosis and treatment, mainly because Neji is still young.
You must know that a person's thoughts as a child are most susceptible to subtle influences. When a person grows up, his worldview takes shape. It’s not that easy to change according to other people’s ideas.
Especially for those stubborn patients, at least several rounds of diagnosis and treatment are needed.
"You learn how to survive as a border shepherd, and understand that hiding and forbearance can help you grow more advantageously."
Hyuga Kei paused here and continued: "But if that's all, you can't grow better or faster."
"Because after you hide your resentment, although the Zong family will slowly let down their guard against you, they will always keep an eye on you."
"So, you now need to learn another survival skill for your pet dog."
Neji was thoughtful, but couldn't really understand. He asked, "What is it?"
"It's very simple." Hinata Kei said: "But some words are said in vain, and it is difficult to have an intuitive understanding. So I will tell you the answer with the results."
Neji knew that Hinata Kei's teaching method was very special and he was good at using various simple examples to penetrate people's hearts. So he stood aside quietly and began to watch carefully.
Hinata Kai walked to the back room, took out a sausage, then walked outside the door and waved to Bian Mu, who was a little afraid of him.
The border collie seemed hesitant. Seeing the smile on Hinata Kai's face, it was still a little wary and scared and refused to step forward.
Hinata Kai was not in a hurry, he just tore off a small piece of sausage and threw it towards the border mule.
The Border Collie gently sniffed the sausage in front of him with his nose, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth to swallow it. This small piece of sausage was quickly eaten by it.
So Hinata Kei tore off a piece of sausage again, and this time the distance he threw was closer than last time.
Bian Mu still hesitated, but finally stepped forward and ate the fragrant sausage.
The third time, Hinata Kai stretched out the sausage with his hand. This time the border collie hesitated for a longer time, but it was no longer so vigilant, but carefully chose to step forward.
At this moment, the border collie no longer lowered his tail. Its tail was raised and wagging, as if asking for permission.
Sensing Bian Mu's movements, Hinata Kai took the initiative to hand the sausage to Bian Mu's mouth, and he happily ate it.
After eating the sausage, the Border Collie was obviously not as scared as before. It faced Hinata Kai, its tail kept wagging, as if to show its goodwill.
The border collie at this moment has a completely different feeling from the previous state when it lowered its tail.
Hinata Kei pointed at Bian Mu and asked, "What do you think?"
Neji scratched his head, thought for a while and then said: "Teacher, you mean, I want to learn its observation ability? Through observation, I can determine whether others like or dislike me."
"Your idea can't be considered wrong." Hinata Kai twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "But that's not what I want to express."
Neji stopped talking and just looked at Hinata Kei, wanting to know the answer.
Hinata Kei pointed at the border collie who was wagging her tail and showing her belly in a coquettish manner at his feet, and said, "I mean, you have to learn how to wag its tail!"
"Didn't you notice? It's wagging its tail now, and it looks like it's acting coquettishly, making it easier for people to get close to it. But before, it lowered its tail. Although it didn't show aggression, it still made people defensive."
Neji looked at his border collie and thought that when it was getting along with him, it indeed wagged its tail often. No wonder since he brought the Border Collie back, he subconsciously forgot its ferocious side.
Even if I think about it again at some point later, it doesn't seem so scary anymore.
Neji thought back to the time when the border mule came to Hinata Kei's house just now.
Just now it didn't wag its tail, it wasn't aggressive, it was even afraid of Hinata Kei. But you can tell at a glance that it is vigilant and on guard.
But now the border collie is wagging its tail, looking like it's trying to please, and no one can imagine what it really looks like.
If you are a pet lover, you may not be able to help teasing it at this time, or even feed it, right?
When Neji thought of this, he glanced at Hinata Kei with a complicated expression. He didn't expect that the second lesson he came to the teacher to learn was still to learn how to be a dog.
Hyuga Kei looked at Ningji and said: "Learning to hide yourself can only give you the opportunity to develop. But learning to wag your tail can allow you to obtain more resources, and you can become stronger by using these resources."
"Neji, please don't think this is a shameful thing. When our strength is insufficient, irrelevant compromises and overtures are for better revenge in the future."
"For your second lesson, I will give you another ancient saying."
"Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance will benefit him beyond his ability."
