While Leo did not look like he fully understood her, he nodded without any doubt.
Jennie cleared her throat and started explaining, "The Five Animal Play is separated into five different plays: bear, tiger, deer, monkey, and bird. Each of them has a different effect on its own, and we'll start learning one by one. Firstly is the bear play. This set of actions has an effect of regulating your spleen and stomach..."
Observing this from the control room, Father Manoban was surprised, "This little girl, she even knows the Five Animal Play?"
"Five Animal Play? Isn't that the set of aerobics you've been trying to teach Leo?" Mother Manoban asked.
Father Manoban nodded, saying unhappily, "Even if that little girl really knows how to do it, she must be half-baked in it. She had better not teach Leo the wrong thing! This Five Animal Play was passed down by the legendary healer Hua Tuo, and it is very beneficial to those who practise it, but the motions must be correct for the effects to take place. I've been trying to teach Leo, but..."
But Leo did not even interact with him, much less learn anything from him.
Mother Manoban got a bit worried as well, and she voiced out her concern, "Let's get someone to stop them. It'd be bad if we let her teach something half-baked."
Father Manoban nodded in agreement, "I'll get Wu to go over now!"
He grabbed the walkie-talkie and pushed the talking button, "Hey, Wu..."
"Master I'm here, what's your order?"
"Get over to..."Father Manoban stopped halfway, shocked when he looked at the monitor screen.
"Master... Master?"
Father Manoban was still staring at the screen, when he just told him, "Never mind, it's nothing already."
He cut off the walkie-talkie.
"What happened?" Mother Manoban asked, not understanding.
Father Manoban coughed softly, with an unnatural expression, "Let her teach him."
It was Mother Manoban's turn to be shocked, and she asked in surprise, "You mean... she is teaching it well?"
Father Manoban watched the girl on the screen and vaguely answered, "It was okay."
Mother Manoban stared at her husband. Okay? Was it okay or was it great?
She knew that with her husband's personality, even if it was just a little flawed, he would never have let the girl teach Leo.
Under their supervision, Jennie broke the moves down and taught Leo in detail.
"Do you know how to do it now?"
Leo nodded.
"Good! Then we'll do it again from the start!"
Leo followed her instructions, performing the whole set of actions smoothly. Because he was still little, he looked really cute doing the animal actions.
Jennie happily clapped, "Leo, you are awesome! You learn really fast! If possible, practise this once every day from today onwards, okay?"
Leo's eyes sparkled when he was praised, and he nodded enthusiastically.
"Baby is the best!"
...
Mother Manoban looked at her husband, "What do you think?"
Father Manoban was deep in thought, with a dark face, "Don't forget that she's an actress so she could easily fool us. She might have predicted that we would monitor her secretly. Maybe she prepared all this beforehand!"
Mother Manoban nodded, "Then let's observe a while more."
Time flew, and evening came.
Jennie held hands with Leo, as they sat on the swings and watched the sunset together. There was one thing that Jennie had had on her mind for a long time. She had been thinking about it when she got here as well. Seeing that she had to leave soon, she could not hold it in anymore and said to Leo, "Leo, Aunty has something to discuss with you..."
