The study cubicle in Han Shuo's house was right next to the corridor wall. Although the sound insulation inside the room was good enough, it didn't mean the wall had good sound insulation.
Just as Shao Rong shouted Lin Miaomiao's name, Wei Ziqi, who had just finished tutoring Miaomiao and Jiajia and was about to go downstairs to go home, happened to hear it.
Wei Ziqi pressed his ear tightly against the wall and listened to the whole conversation between the two. He was so shocked that he stood there motionless.
Just then, the driver, who was supposed to take Wei Ziqi home, came up the stairs when he saw that the boy hadn't come down for a long time, interrupting the boy's thoughts.
"Little teacher, what are you doing here?"
The driver's voice brought Wei Ziqi back to his senses. He hadn't digested the information he had just eavesdropped on yet, and he looked a bit dull.
"Ah? Nothing. Let's go."
After getting home, Wei Ziqi was still thinking about the conversation he had overheard. No matter how mature he was, he was still just a seven - year - old kid.
Although he seemed calm on the surface, he couldn't hide the turmoil in his heart.
All night long, Wei Ziqi tossed and turned in bed. Then he turned on the second - hand computer that his mother had worked hard to buy for his study.
He usually never turned it on to save electricity, but now he really wanted to figure out some questions.
Wei Ziqi slowly opened the search page and typed in'reincarnation'.
A lot of information about reincarnation immediately popped up on the search page.
Wei Ziqi opened the encyclopedia and skimmed through it quickly, understanding the meaning of reincarnation.
But after he really understood it, he began to have doubts. As someone who always believed in science, he really couldn't believe this super - realistic concept of reincarnation.
However, it seemed that a real example was happening right in front of him.
Going back to the past with the memories of the future?
Wei Ziqi had a question mark in his mind. He didn't know how to deal with this matter, nor did he know if he should tell Lin Yao.
Moreover, it sounded like that Shao Rong had some deep hatred with Miaomiao.
Even though Wei Ziqi couldn't see her face, he could imagine how crazy she looked from her almost hysterical voice.
If he didn't talk to Miaomiao's parents, it seemed that Miaomiao would be in danger.
Wei Ziqi struggled all night. Finally, he decided to have a good talk with Lin Yao. Although he was just a kid and his words might not carry much weight, and he might easily be regarded as talking nonsense or having delusions, he just couldn't sit back and do nothing when he knew his friend was in danger.
The next day, Wei Ziqi went to school with dark circles under his eyes. He slept for the whole morning, which made Miaomiao and the others think he was sick.
Especially Cheng Ruan. After school, he directly took out his wallet and slapped it on the table. He said boldly, "Great God! You must not be sick! If you have a problem with your body, we have to treat it! We're counting on you to save our studies, Great God! Hold on! Don't worry about the money. We have plenty of it!"
"Um... I'm not..."
"I have money too." Miaomiao, who was chewing on a lollipop, took out a stack of red bills from her pocket and stuffed them into Wei Ziqi's hand forcefully.
"I really don't..."
"Brother, don't be shy. Friends should help each other. This little bit of money means nothing to us. It's important to get treated. Look at your pale lips. If there's anything wrong at home, you must speak up." Yao Mingxuan patted Wei Ziqi on the shoulder and joined in the fun.
Wei Ziqi held the money that the three of them had forced into his hands. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They didn't even give him a chance to speak!
"I'm really okay. There's nothing wrong at home. I just didn't sleep well last night."
"Really? Has the top student fallen? Staying up at night and sleeping in class during the day?" Cheng Ruan asked doubtfully.
"No. I just thought of a question last night and looked up information for the whole night, so I couldn't fall asleep. Anyway, the current classes don't mean much to me."
Wei Ziqi gave a rough explanation. He didn't want to tell his friends this news yet.
"Ah, I knew the top student wouldn't fall. Sure enough, when the top student thinks about a problem, he won't sleep until he figures it out. But for me, nothing can stop me from watching TV dramas."
Seeing that Wei Ziqi was really okay, Cheng Ruan felt relieved. He rubbed the fluffy head of the little ball and happily continued to play around.
Today, Miaomiao was wearing a cute raccoon outfit. The little ears on top of her head and the fluffy hat felt super nice. Cheng Ruan had been rubbing them all day and didn't get bored at all.
Miaomiao was already used to Cheng Ruan's intimate actions. At first, she was a bit resistant, but after two years of getting along, the little ball had learned to ignore it.
"Little teacher, have a lollipop."
Since Wei Ziqi started tutoring Miaomiao, out of respect, Lin Yao and Miaomiao had changed their way of addressing Wei Ziqi to 'little teacher'. The concept of respecting teachers was deeply rooted in Miaomiao's mind, and she cared a lot about Wei Ziqi.
"Hmm? You eat it." Wei Ziqi felt Miaomiao's concern, smiled, and gently refused.
The little ball stubbornly stuffed the lollipop into Wei Ziqi's hand. Her cheeks were bulging because of the lollipop in her mouth, looking like an angry little puffer fish.
"Eating candy will make you feel good. Little teacher, you should be in a good mood."
Miaomiao's soft and waxy voice could always make people feel good when it reached their ears. She always had such magic, always like a little sun.
"Okay, thank you." Seeing the little ball so stubborn, Wei Ziqi had no choice but to take the lollipop, unwrap it, and put it in his mouth.
It wasn't the first day he had seen the milk ball's stubbornness. If he didn't eat it, Miaomiao would definitely chase after him.
Seeing that Wei Ziqi had accepted her kindness with a smile, Miaomiao also laughed stupidly. She grabbed her textbook and started asking questions like a good student.
Silly Dad promised that as long as Miaomiao did a little better in the mid - term exam, he would grant her a wish.
Although Miaomiao didn't really have any wishes or things she wanted, just the thought of having a reward made her happy.
As for what 'a little better' meant?
This was not in the little ball's consideration at all. Silly Dad said that he would set the standard.
Wei Ziqi ate the candy quickly and began to write answers for Miaomiao without complaint. Since Miaomiao started just memorizing the answers instead of understanding, her learning situation had improved by leaps and bounds.
The little ball, who used to take a long time to think about addition within ten, could now answer almost instantly.
Later, Wei Ziqi also asked the little ball why she used to take so long when the answers were the same.
The little ball's answer was that she thought she had to fully understand all the examples the teacher had given and the meaning of mathematical addition before the answer could be correct. Otherwise, it was wrong.
How stubborn!
"Okay, students, you can leave school now. By the way, the school will organize a field trip next week. Except for Wei Ziqi and Shao Rong, each child should prepare 3,000 yuan. Remember to tell your parents when you get home."
