“But it’ll be different if you go to school!” Tang Li suddenly slammed his hand on the table, startling Meng Zhiyao. She forgot to take the spoon out of her mouth and stared straight at Tang Li.
"Although waking up early every day is painful, although classes are boring, and although I still have to do homework after school, but! I can play soccer with others and learn to ride horses. I even bought a horse farm. I'll show you my BMW later. It's so cool. I have a picture, do you want to see it?"
Although it was a question, before Meng Zhiyao could answer, he took out his phone and opened the photo album.
He wanted to show it to Meng Zhiyao, but found that the two were a little far apart. He deliberately got off and moved his seat. He nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the armrests of the two chairs touched together, and then sat back down.
"Look, this is the pony I bought. When I grow a little taller, it will grow into a very handsome horse. Judging from your appearance, you've probably never seen such a handsome horse before. Next time, I'll reluctantly take you to the horse farm to broaden your horizons."
Tang Li snorted, her haughty little expression amusing Meng Wan. She put her hand to her lips, trying to hide her barely concealed laughter. Yan Nian sensed her good mood and chuckled softly, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Meng Zhiyao seemed to have gotten used to Tang Li's way of speaking. She simply nodded at him, her big, round eyes shining brightly, making one's heart soften at the sight of them.
“If you go to school with me, I can take a detour to pick you up every day.”
Tang Li was actually a little uneasy. While there were other factors involved in asking Meng Zhiyao to go to school with him, it was mostly his own decision. He didn't dislike Meng Zhiyao; putting Tang Wan aside, Meng Zhiyao was a pretty good person.
He may not talk much, but that's okay, he talks a lot! Most importantly, he's loyal! With him around, if I ever offend Tang Wan, I can get him to take the blame so Tang Wan won't delete my game account.
"And after school I'll take you to get even better ice cream! How about that, isn't it a good deal?"
"good."
“If you don’t like ice cream, you can… What did you say?” Tang Li was stunned, his eyes widening. Meng Wan was also somewhat surprised, sitting up straight and looking at Meng Zhiyao.
Meng Zhiyao unconsciously shoveled the nearly empty ice cream, her face almost buried in the box, and then made a soft "hmm" sound, her ear tips turning red.
Tang Li looked at Meng Wan, his eyes still showing surprise, but more than that, he was seeking praise, as if to say, 'See? I can do anything I set my mind to!'
Meng Wan smiled, nodded at him, her eyes full of affirmation.
Are you sure you want to go to school?
"I... want to give it a try." Meng Zhiyao thought about it for a week, but didn't mention it to anyone. She just thought about it alone and made the decision by herself.
“Then let’s give it a try,” Meng Wan agreed readily.
When the couple returned home that evening and heard the news, they were completely stunned. Qin Yi dropped her pen, and Meng Boqun's finger, which was on the calculator, trembled and pressed the reset button instead.
"Yaoyao, what did you say?"
Meng Wan stood right behind Meng Zhiyao. She patted Meng Zhiyao on the shoulder, giving him silent encouragement.
"I... want to go to school."
"That...that's great, isn't it?" Qin Yi looked at Meng Boqun in disbelief.
"Dad will go find a school for you tomorrow." Meng Boqun realized what was happening, and tried to get up by supporting himself on the chair, but his hand kept slipping down.
"Dad, I'll take care of things at school."
Is it because Yao Yao's situation is special?
Meng Wan shook her head. "It's a good thing that Zhiyao is taking this step now. Qian Yixuan also thinks that he should indeed get to know the outside world, but it would be better if he had someone familiar with him by his side to make him feel safe. Putting him in a completely unfamiliar environment now would not be a good thing."
Meng Boqun frowned and sat back down. Meng Wan's words made sense. Everything should be done step by step. With so many people at school, if Meng Zhiyao were suddenly placed in a completely unfamiliar environment and he didn't speak, he might end up like he was in kindergarten.
It's a good thing that Meng Zhiyao took this step, but if he accidentally makes his situation worse, then it would be a loss.
"What do you mean by 'that'?" Qin Yi asked, a little uneasy.
"I plan to send Yaoyao to a primary school in Berlin."
"Berlin Primary School?" Meng Boqun's tone was full of surprise.
Like the academy Meng Wan attended, the Berlin primary school is a top-tier aristocratic institution. Its curriculum is far more comprehensive than that of ordinary schools, focusing on cultivating well-rounded individuals. Horse riding and archery are just the tip of the iceberg; courses in design and development are also offered. Furthermore, there are dedicated planners and psychologists, emphasizing joyful learning and placing no pressure on students.
"Berlin can tailor courses for each student based on their talent test results. For a gifted child like Yaoyao, Berlin would be a better fit than a regular school."
“Wanwan, I understand what you mean. Berlin Elementary School is very good, that’s for sure. But… the problem now isn’t that we don’t want to go, but that with our family’s current circumstances, the school simply won’t accept us.”
Meng Wan tilted her head slightly, her expression full of confidence.
"That's why I said you can leave it to me."
"Do you have a solution?"
Meng Wan nodded. The principal and chairman of the board of directors of the Berlin Elementary School suddenly fell ill while hiking, and unfortunately, she happened to be there.
“He has a special referral channel. If you recommend a talented student, all tuition and fees will be waived once they pass the test. I happen to have a referral spot that I had completely forgotten about. Now I don’t have to waste it.”
