Miaomiao's lower abdomen ached terribly. She didn't sleep well all night, and all the plans she had made for the next day were completely disrupted.
When they got home and Lin Yao learned that Miaomiao had gotten her period, he was surprisingly calm. Before his rebirth, Miaomiao didn't have so many friends. At that time, he had to search for all kinds of precautions on his phone and then teach Miaomiao what to do step - by - step.
However, it seemed that Miaomiao also got her first period around this time before his rebirth. At the same age and the same time, he almost forgot about it.
After the memories merged, Lin Yao always thought of Miaomiao as the little girl who used to act coquettishly and roll around in his arms. But in a blink of an eye, she had already grown up so much.
"My little girl has grown into a young lady," Lin Yao said with a sense of relief.
But when he thought that Miaomiao would eventually get married and have children, he felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart, and his stomach ached uncomfortably.
A few days later, Lin Yao sent his daughter to his mother's place. After the purge in Nancheng, there were still many follow - up matters to deal with. The backlog had reached a point where it couldn't be postponed any longer. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accompany Miaomiao well during the whole vacation.
After the summer vacation ended, Miaomiao returned to the imperial capital. The conversation with her father had strengthened her belief in studying medicine. So she simply stopped going to school and devoted herself to learning medical skills.
Miaomiao had always been like this. Once she made up her mind to do something well, she would immerse herself in it whole - heartedly. Even if it was boring, she could find fun in it.
Apart from the martial arts she had been learning since childhood and the traditional Chinese medicine she was currently studying, Miaomiao gave up all other subjects. Grandpa Sun had no objections to this. He believed in specialized training. Whether she learned those things in the textbooks step - by - step didn't matter. The most important thing was to learn traditional Chinese medicine well in the end. He could take care of matters related to academic degrees and certificates.
Since Miaomiao was so motivated, Wei Ziqi couldn't slack off either. He immersed himself in the ocean of medicine with Miaomiao and couldn't extricate himself.
Since they didn't need to go to school, they naturally didn't run into Shao Rong and Han Shuo, the siblings. Except for Tao Jing who would occasionally come to the research institute to chat with them, there was nothing else in the outside world worthy of their attention.
Wei Ziqi made some inquiries during this period and could roughly infer that Shao Rong and Han Shuo were probably still under supervision. They had no friends at school. They would disappear as soon as school was over. Sometimes they might not even be seen in class. They were very mysterious, and their parents were never seen at parent - teacher meetings.
As long as they were still under supervision, they couldn't do anything unfavorable to Miaomiao, so they could completely relax.
The two children studied frantically in the two years of junior high school, compressing the learning progress. Finally, by the time they graduated from junior high school, they had learned the knowledge that usually took five years of normal university study.
However, Grandpa Sun didn't directly get them university diplomas. Geniuses always attracted attention. These two excellent seedlings were of utmost importance to the research institute and must not be exposed to the public. So they still went through the normal procedures for enrolling in high school.
Although they were nominally high - school students, after the school started, the two children would start to learn the courses for postgraduate students and conduct research projects in the research institute.
Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan also passed the tests set by their parents and were successfully promoted to a school in the imperial capital. They were in the same school as Miaomiao and the others. Although Miaomiao and Wei Ziqi didn't often appear at school, whenever the four children got together, they felt extremely happy and comfortable.
"Miaomiao, Ziqi, don't you need to go to the research institute anymore?" Cheng Ruan asked, cupping her cheeks and turning around.
"No. The teacher said that we are on holiday recently. We should have normal classes and rest well at school. The research project we've been working on has made some progress, and we're not needed for the time being."
Miaomiao was packing her schoolbag and shook her head. Studying and working in the research institute was high - intensity. In fact, it was more relaxing in high school. The research project they were assigned had achieved certain breakthroughs. The follow - up matters could be handled by their senior classmates. They could just regard this period of going to school as a holiday.
"Oh, I'm so envious of you. You've already started doing research projects, while we're still just ordinary high - school students. This is the world of geniuses," Cheng Ruan sighed. She felt that the gap between herself and her friends was getting bigger and bigger. But intelligence was innate, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make up for the lack of it.
"It's nothing. You'll also become very powerful in the future."
Miaomiao patted Cheng Ruan on the shoulder and encouraged her seriously. Her cute look made the other friends laugh.
Miaomiao's appearance hadn't changed much in the past two years. At most, her features had become a bit more distinct, but she still had that cute baby - face and big eyes, looking extremely soft and lovable.
"Class, stop talking. Let's start the class. Before we start, I have something to announce. Two new students have transferred to our class. They'll arrive soon. I hope you all can help each other and don't exclude these two new classmates."
The teacher walked into the classroom in high heels, tapped the podium twice, and announced.
Hearing the teacher's words, the students all looked up and then lowered their heads disinterestedly.
Their class was an elite class. Every student had excellent academic performance. In an ordinary high school, they would be regarded as top students. So most of the students were only focused on their studies and not interested in outside things. Some students even curled their lips to show their dissatisfaction.
Miaomiao and Wei Ziqi were exceptions. They were just registered in this class. They already had guaranteed admission to a university, and the teacher had informed them in advance that they wouldn't take up the school's guaranteed - admission quota. They didn't even need to take the exams. So the students had no hostility towards them. But for the other students in the class, everyone was a competitor.
Suddenly having two more competitors, no one would be happy to hear this news.
"The two students will come soon. Let's start the class first. Don't let your attention on the new classmates affect your studies."
High school was a time of intense study. The teacher didn't want anything to distract the children in her class. If it weren't for the higher - ups specifically instructing her to admit these two students to her class, she wouldn't have agreed to having new students transfer in right before the monthly exam.
