The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 171

At the front stood a female teacher with a side braid.

She was demonstrating with sign language while simultaneously showing the kids the techniques of bamboo weaving.

"This is our bamboo weaving class," Principal York said, looking at the teacher with a hint of emotion in her voice.

"Ms. Lauren Pierce lost her hearing and speech to a severe fever when she was just a year old.

Later, with her family's encouragement, she found a master artisan to teach her traditional bamboo weaving.

The master didn't know sign language back then, so she had to communicate with him entirely through her phone.

Because of the communication barrier, she suffered countless cuts and took so many wrong turns before finally mastering this skill.

Now she teaches at our school, hoping to help the kids find inner peace through this craft while also giving them a skill they can rely on to make a living."

"Can we go in and try it out?" Mika asked softly.

"Of course." Principal York nodded, waving Ms. Pierce over and signing a quick message to her.

Understanding immediately, Ms. Pierce led the two to the front of the class and signed to the students.

[Class, we have two special friends visiting today who want to learn bamboo weaving with us.

Can you all help them if there's anything they don't understand?]

The kids in the audience smiled and nodded enthusiastically, signing back that they could.

They looked at Mika and Julian with curious eyes, innocent and friendly smiles lighting up their faces.

Mika and Julian were seated at two different large tables with the kids.

Mika quickly blended in. Although they couldn't speak the same language, she watched the girl next to her and slowly began to get the hang of it.

Whenever she made a mistake, the girl would gently press her hand, shake her head, and actively demonstrate the right way to do it.

Mika immediately looked up the sign language for it on her phone, giving a thumbs up and gently bending her thumb joint twice.

[Thank you.]
