"Then thank you, teacher." Wei Ziqi didn't decline. Anyway, all his future life plans were tied to Miaomiao. Whether it was going to school or choosing a major, he must be the same as Miaomiao.
The old grandpa smiled and led the two kids into the car and headed for the residence. Along the way, Miaomiao got to know the senior brothers and sisters around him. The old grandpa also asked Miaomiao a lot of basic questions to check if he had been slack.
During this period, Wei Ziqi was also asked quite a few questions. The more he answered, the more satisfied the old grandpa became. A glint of eagerness flashed in his eyes, and he had the idea of taking Wei Ziqi as his apprentice too.
However, he specialized in traditional Chinese medicine. If he were to teach Wei Ziqi, who had been self - studying Western medicine for so long, he was really afraid of leading the kid astray. So he made up his mind to find a good teacher for Wei Ziqi when he got back.
"Little friend Wei Ziqi, have you found a school to study in yet?"
"Not yet. I'm going to sort things out first and then choose a school. It'd be best if I can be in the same school as Miaomiao. After all, I came to the imperial capital with a mission, which is to help Uncle Lin take care of Miaomiao."
This was exactly the question Wei Ziqi had been waiting for. Before coming here, he had reviewed the medical books several times, always ready to catch the old grandpa's attention so that he could be tied to Miaomiao.
"Well, there's no hurry. I can see that you've done a great job in self - study. Do you really like this field?"
"Yes. I've basically finished all the high - school courses. I should have chosen a major to study in detail. When Miaomiao was reading medical books, I just flipped through them casually. I found it very interesting, so I chose the medical major. But I may like Western medicine more."
Wei Ziqi replied with a beaming smile. His genuine love and his unassuming attitude without any hint of flattery won the old grandpa's favor.
"Alright. You're a smart kid. If you like this, I'll ask my old buddy tomorrow. If he's willing to take you as his student, then grandpa will help you and Miaomiao go through the enrollment procedures together. How about that?"
"Thank you, grandpa."
Wei Ziqi knew how to seize the opportunity. Having got such a promise, he quickly agreed.
A few days later, Miaomiao was well - settled by the old grandpa, and the school for enrollment was also chosen. The old grandpa also kept Wei Ziqi in mind. As soon as he got back to the research institute, he grabbed his old buddy and introduced this potential apprentice to him.
After passing numerous tests, Wei Ziqi won the appreciation of the old grandpa's friend and was taken as his student. He moved into the laboratory dormitory with Miaomiao and they were enrolled in the same school.
The plan of following Miaomiao's steps was perfectly accomplished. Wei Ziqi completely left his father, who was in the same city, behind. He just briefly informed him of the situation and told him that he no longer needed his help, and then he didn't contact him anymore.
Wei Ziqi was a smart guy. During this long period, except for his father and grandmother, no one else in that family had ever contacted him.
It was obvious that in that family, except for his father and grandmother, no one welcomed his return, including his own mother.
But it didn't matter. His own mother had given him all her motherly love. He didn't care about this bit of family affection at all.
Moreover, there were more troubles in a wealthy and powerful family. Apart from the troubles related to Miaomiao, Wei Ziqi was not interested in any people or things that would cause him trouble and distress at all, even if there were more benefits involved.
Wealth could be created with one's own hands. There was no need to fight tooth and nail with others for it.
The newly - enrolled school was an international school. At Lin Yao's request to find a school with relatively loose management for Miaomiao, the old grandpa arranged it here.
Most of the students in this school were the children of the rich and powerful. Their families all had some wealth, and they were all going to study abroad in the future. So the school's education was mainly Western - style and very liberal.
The old grandpa had some connections in this school. The principal was willing to give him this face. Miaomiao and Wei Ziqi didn't need to take full - day classes so as not to delay their serious medical studies.
Coincidentally, the old grandpa was only free in the morning. He used this free time in the morning to teach Miaomiao, and Miaomiao went to class in the afternoon. He didn't need to disrupt his previous life rhythm and could continue to be busy as usual.
However, on the first day of enrollment, Miaomiao and Wei Ziqi ran into an unexpected person.
"Miaomiao! Why are you here!?"
"Tao Jing?"
Yes, the person they ran into was the little friend they had met at the seaside.
They never expected it to be such a coincidence that she was also in this school.
"We're here to go to school!" Miaomiao hadn't forgotten this friend and was very happy to see her.
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect us to end up in the same school. I'm in Class 3, Grade 1 of the International Department. Which class are you in?"
Tao Jing affectionately wrapped her arm around Miaomiao's and asked.
"We're in Class 10."
"Class 10. I know quite a few people there. You're new transfers, so you must be a bit out of sorts. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I'll come to play with you often."
"Okay, thank you."
"Oops, it's almost time for class. You two should hurry to your class."
The preparatory bell for class rang. Tao Jing urged Miaomiao and Wei Ziqi to go back to their class. After seeing them leave, Tao Jing skipped back to her own seat in the classroom with a big smile on her face.
Originally, her plan was to transfer to the city where Miaomiao was after dealing with all the matters in the imperial capital. She never expected that the world was so small and Miaomiao had transferred to their school.
It would have taken at least a year or two to implement her previous plan, and she might have only been able to transfer when she was in high school. Tao Jing was afraid that Miaomiao would forget her during such a long time. Now it was great. Miaomiao was right beside her, and she had plenty of time to make up for the mistakes of her past life.
However...
Tao Jing squinted her eyes. Thinking of the old acquaintances who only went to school for two days a week except for weekends, her face gradually darkened.
She hoped that these two people wouldn't run into Miaomiao. Even if they did, they'd better not have any wrong ideas.
Otherwise, she would never let them off.
"Ah, it's so nice to run into Tao Jing!" Miaomiao sighed about the wonder of the small world after getting back to the class.
Seeing Miaomiao so happy, Wei Ziqi nodded in agreement.
Indeed, it was a completely different feeling to come to a strange place with familiar people and to run into familiar people in a strange place.
In this way, Miaomiao might feel more secure. Moreover, Miaomiao was not good at making friends. All their friends had taken the initiative to talk to Miaomiao before becoming friends. It was very difficult to build new friendships in a strange place.
It was good to have such a relatively familiar person around.
