1109 Geographical Knowledge (1/2)

Sihwa was still grumpy, but at least she didn't have any intention to continue spraying him with water.

She gave Zhang Zian a side glance as a silent agreement.

Zhang Zian had wanted to give her a proper education from the start instead of only teaching her the things that she needed to learn when she needed them. But he had been too busy these few days and hadn't had the time. He didn't even know what he—an unemployed, useless man—had been busy with.

He used her phone to find some primary school courses, hoping that she would be able to pick up on this information by herself. But, like he'd said earlier, without stress and someone to monitor them, no one would have that strong of a desire to learn new things. Not even a scholar would be able to do so, let alone such a playful Sihwa.

Now that the time to leave for Egypt was near, he could only still teach her what she immediately needed to know, which was geographical knowledge. She at least needed to know where Egypt was.

Looking at the globe he was holding, her face twitched slightly, curious at the round thing in his hands but unwilling to put down her ego to ask.

Zhang Zian put the globe on the side of the tub, lightly pushing at it to turn it. The rusty axles screeched as it turned before finally stopping with East Asia right before her eyes.

”This is China.” He pointed at China on the globe before turning the globe almost 180 degrees around, and he pointed at Germany's shore on the Baltic Sea. ”This is Germany, the shore at which we met. And then…this is Egypt.”

His fingers went diagonally, pointing at Egypt, which was right in between the intersection of Asia, Europe, and Africa.

”So far away!” She was extremely surrprised and forgot all about being grumpy. She had known previously that China was very far away from Germany, but it wasn't until she saw it with her own eyes on the globe that she understood the difference between them. They were practically on opposite sides of the earth.

”Of course it's that big. If the Earth isn't this big, how do we support billions of humans and countless lives?” Zhang Zian turned the globe back to the East half, looking carefully before pointing at an empty spot on China's east coast. ”This should be where Binhai City is. But since we're not a big city, we don't have the privilege of being labeled on the globe.”

”So sad!” She pouted before suddenly asking, ”Oh, right, where is Korea? What about Seoul?”

Zhang Zian pointed them out to her.

”You're not lying to me, are you? Korea's that small?” she asked him.

Zhang Zian was speechless. ”Why would I lie to you? Korea's only this big. This isn't even considered small. There are a ton of countries a lot smaller than Korea.”

Sihwa observed the globe with extreme curiosity, using her finger to lightly push at it. The mountains and ridges, rivers, land, seas, and the big and small countries went by her eyes slowly.

”There are actually so many countries in this world. No wonder all the girls in those television shows love traveling so much…” she mused.

Zhang Zian couldn't help but think, annoyed, that they could only do so because they didn't have to buy a house…Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

”A globe is really a good thing!” She seemed to suddenly recall something, her mood switching and turning angry in the blink of an eye. ”You stingy monster! Why didn't you bring this for me earlier?”

”Because I forgot! It's not too late for me to give it to you now!” He tried to defend himself. The globe really wasn't that precious. It wasn't like it was lined with gold. There was no reason for him to hide it.

To soften her temper, he graciously said, ”Since you like it so much, it's yours now.”

”Really?” She hugged the globe, worried that he would snatch it back, and snuffed at him skeptically. ”Why is the stingy monster suddenly generous? Is it because this thing isn't actually worth a lot of money?”

Zhang Zian coughed, quickly changing the topic. ”Anyway, now you know where Egypt is.”

Sihwa found where Eygpt was on the globe through her memory, staring at the edges of the countries. ”Weird. Why is it that some of these borders between countries are so straight, as though they were cut out with knives?”
