"I don't know."
Miaomiao generally doesn't pay attention to things that have nothing to do with her. So, when Shao Rong and Han Shuo were missing for several days, she didn't even notice.
"I knew it. That outing incident must have been her doing. Otherwise, why hasn't she come to school for so long?" Cheng Ruan lay on Miaomiao's shoulder, pouting her small mouth and asserting firmly.
The princess's judgment is never wrong.
"Come on, don't worry about her. Anyway, no one will bother us in the future." Yao Mingxuan stroked Cheng Ruan's hair gently. It felt super nice!
Ding ding ding...
The school bell suddenly rang. Cheng Ruan reluctantly got up from Miaomiao and returned to her own seat.
The teacher walked into the classroom slowly, holding textbooks in hand. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, Shao Rong in our class has transferred to another school due to personal reasons. After the investigation by the police, the incident during the last outing was proved to be just an accident. It was just that Shao Rong accidentally dropped the petals in her pocket beside Lin Miaomiao's tent. It was not intentional. Please don't make wild guesses anymore."
"Also, there will be a junior Olympiad math tournament in the city next month. Those who want to sign up can come to me after class. There are only ten spots in the whole school. This is a good opportunity to exercise yourselves. I hope you can sign up actively."
[Olympiad math tournament? Genius, aren't you going to participate?]
Cheng Ruan tore off a piece of paper from her notebook, quickly wrote a note and passed it to Wei Ziqi.
[I'm going. I'm always forced to participate in such activities. I need to win prizes to get more scholarships.]
[Miaomiao, do you want to sign up too?]
The note was passed to Miaomiao. The little girl opened the note and decisively wrote a big character on it.
[No!]
[Yao Mingxuan, are you going to participate?]
[I decline. I still have piano lessons when I get home. I'm so tired. Only a fool would want to study math.]
[Alright, genius. It seems you'll be the only one participating in this tournament.]
"Ahem, those students over there, don't play tricks in class." The teacher noticed the note - passing among Miaomiao and her friends, coughed twice to remind them.
Cheng Ruan immediately crumpled the note into a ball to destroy the evidence, sat up straight and her heart was pounding.
Miaomiao was suddenly pointed out and named. She was completely confused. She looked around to see if the teacher was pointing at someone else. She had no idea what was going on.
[Dad said you should stay at home tonight.]
After being named, the little girl was biting her pen cap while listening to the class as if it were a mystery. She was drowsy. Half - asleep and half - awake, Miaomiao suddenly remembered her father's instruction when she was about to go out. She imitated Cheng Ruan and wrote a note to Wei Ziqi.
I have to say, Miaomiao has a hard time learning academic stuff, but she learns things unrelated to class really fast.
Isn't this just learning and applying it right away?
[What's going on?]
Wei Ziqi was a bit confused. Shao Rong had been dealt with. What use did he still have?
[Dad said he'll inform your mom to go on a business trip today. Your mom won't have time to take care of you. So Dad told you to stay at my place.]
[Okay, got it.]
Wei Ziqi carefully examined the note and silently folded it up and put it in his pocket.
Miaomiao's handwriting was a bit strange.
As Miaomiao's tutor, Wei Ziqi knew her study situation very well. It was Lin Yao who taught Miaomiao to deal with exams by rote - learning through a sea of questions.
At first, Wei Ziqi thought it was an irresponsible way to teach Miaomiao. But later, Lin Yao clearly stated that he didn't need Miaomiao to be extremely smart or have excellent academic performance. He had already made a will to leave all his property to Miaomiao.
He also had many properties, funds, antique jewels and so on, which had been transferred to Miaomiao's name. Even if one day Lin Yao went bankrupt or had an accident, Miaomiao could live a care - free life with no worries about food and clothing.
Letting Miaomiao go to school was just to prevent her from being out of touch with society and to learn common sense in life. As for whether her schoolwork was good or bad, Lin Yao didn't care at all.
According to what Lin Yao said and did, Miaomiao didn't have any other cram schools except the martial arts class.
Wei Ziqi knew well that if Miaomiao hadn't specifically asked him to teach her, there wouldn't have been any tutoring.
Abnormally, there were many non - modern traditional Chinese characters in the note Miaomiao just wrote.
For example, the characters '通' (tong) and '管' (guan).
Wei Ziqi had never taught Miaomiao these characters, so she shouldn't be able to write them. But generally, when kids can't write a character, they either use pinyin or draw a circle to leave it blank. Miaomiao, however, used more complicated traditional Chinese characters instead.
This was something Miaomiao knew. But where did she learn it from?
Wei Ziqi didn't think it was something Miaomiao saw and remembered by chance, or that Lin Yao had someone teach her.
The traditional Chinese characters Miaomiao wrote were not from the modern era, but from ancient times. If one hadn't really studied and delved into this, an ordinary person couldn't have learned them.
Rebirth...
Does it correspond to time - travel?
Wei Ziqi suddenly felt that he had guessed something incredible. He pinched the note and slowly turned around to look at the drowsy Miaomiao.
The fair - skinned little girl had her mouth slightly open, her eyes half - closed. She looked so innocent, just like a newly - hatched chick.
Wei Ziqi slowly shook his head and got rid of the speculation in his mind. Maybe Miaomiao really saw and remembered them by accident. There were quite a few history - related documentaries nowadays.
Someone as naive as Miaomiao was probably just like a seven - or eight - year - old kid.
Tomorrow was the weekend. Wei Ziqi would stay at Miaomiao's house until Monday.
On Saturday morning, Miaomiao had to go to the martial arts school to learn martial arts. Wei Ziqi couldn't stay alone at Miaomiao's house, so he had to go to the martial arts school with her.
"Junior sister! Is this your friend? Is he here to sign up for martial arts too? His small arms and legs won't do. He's so thin."
The senior sister saw Miaomiao and immediately ran up.
This senior sister was the granddaughter of Miaomiao's master. She was also the only other girl in the martial arts school besides Miaomiao. Usually, the senior brothers were friendly to Miaomiao, but due to the difference in gender and Miaomiao's identity as a true - inheritance disciple, they didn't get too close.
In the martial arts school, only the senior sister had the best relationship with Miaomiao.
"No, he's my classmate and also my little teacher. He teaches me math and Chinese!" Miaomiao was chewing on a lollipop. Her little mouth bulged as she spoke unclearly. She looked just like a little hamster, melting the senior sister's heart.
"Okay, then go to the master with him. You have to finish your candy quickly, or you'll get scolded again."
"I know!"
The senior sister patted the little girl's head and kissed her smooth little cheek. Then she returned to the training ground contentedly to continue her training.
The little girl led Wei Ziqi towards the backyard, which was her training area.
