"I……"
Shen Qian originally wanted to criticize him, but when he thought that Wei Sijian's logic was different from that of ordinary people, he gave up the idea and simply did not explain.
Wei Sijian didn't take it seriously and pointed to the group of students who had caught up with them, saying to Shen Qian, "These are all students from the School of Pharmacy... Call him Brother Shen, oops, no, call him Grandpa Shen!"
"Uncle Shen!" The seven or eight students were unusually well-behaved. Although they were surprised by Shen Qian's age, they still respectfully called out in unison.
Several students vaguely felt that Shen Qian looked familiar, but couldn't remember where they had seen him before.
"What grandpa? What grandpa?" Shen Qian's face darkened.
“Well, ‘Grandpa’ is a respectful title in Beidu, after all, you are an elder,” Wei Sijian said matter-of-factly.
Speechless, Shen Qian rubbed his temples and asked, "Has Ding Yi been released?"
Not yet, probably tomorrow.
"Then why did you call me here in such a hurry?" Shen Qian felt an urge to hit someone. "I thought it was today."
"I asked you to come early, Brother Chen, because I have something important to tell you!"
As if struck by a sudden thought, Wei Sijian spoke with great enthusiasm.
"What's the big deal?" the group asked suspiciously as they walked toward the parking lot.
"You'll understand when you get to Beiwu."
Wei Sijian, unusually, kept everyone in suspense, but a smug expression of complete control appeared on his face.
"Last time, my senior brother and I sincerely invited you to join our Beiwu Pharmacy Academy, but you refused. But am I, Wei Sijian, the kind of person who gives up easily?"
"That night I came up with a brilliant idea. After much persuasion, the teacher finally agreed. I've been working on this matter ever since."
"Just wait and see, Brother Chen!"
"Hehe, from now on you're one of us in the School of Pharmacy. Let's join forces and do something big!"
Wei Sijian became more and more excited as he spoke, and the smile on his face gradually became distorted.
Shen Qian felt a chill run down his spine and unconsciously distanced himself from Wei Sijian. Although he was curious about what big thing Wei Sijian was planning, he scoffed at Wei Sijian's confidence.
Let's put aside the question of which school to choose.
Even if he finalizes his decision to join Beiwu, the least likely of the nine academies for him to enter is the Pharmacy Academy.
Alchemy is fine as a part-time job when you're short on money, but making it a full-time job is a waste of life and has no meaning for Shen Qian.
The two exchanged a knowing smile and neither brought up the topic again.
Wei Sijian personally drove Shen Qian to the vicinity of Beiwu and booked a room for Shen Qian at a five-star hotel.
After putting away their luggage and having a simple meal at the hotel's specialty restaurant, Shen Qian wiped his mouth and said to Wei Sijian, who was reading a book beside him, "Sijian, want to go shopping?"
“I would never do something that wastes my life like that.” Wei Sijian immediately shook his head.
"Alright then, I'll have the hotel send me a guide, and I'll go by myself." Shen Qian waved his hand and stood up.
“Brother Shen, if you need anything, I’ll have someone buy it for you. Why waste your precious time?” Wei Sijian frowned, trying to stop Shen Qian.
Shen Qian decisively rejected Wei Sijian, and gave a meaningful smile.
"Actually, I don't like shopping... but some things only have meaning when you buy them yourself."
