Chapter 26
Joyson was confident of winning the bet.
He felt that Jiang Yunu looked no more than ten years old.
Although Qiao Daisi didn't say anything, based on her experience, she also felt that Jiang Yunuo did not look to be eleven years old, and did not seem to be old enough to take the supernatural power classification test.
But...what if?
In Qiao Daisi's eyes, Jiang Yunu is a child who is a little "extraordinary".
Although Qiao Daisi couldn't say what was special about Jiang Yunu, she just felt that anything unexpected could happen to this child.
So Aunt Daisy remained neutral about the bet between the two children.
"You can tell whether you're old enough by testing it with the hospital's equipment," Aunt Daisy said fairly.
It takes about 30 minutes to drive from the management center to the hospital, and this is even though the modified Transformer car is speeding at the city speed limit.
When Joyson got out of the car, his legs and feet felt weak. In front of the hospital gate, he finally regained his nervousness and hesitated, not daring to go in.
Jiang Yunu looked around.
This was also the first hospital that Jiang Yunu visited when he came to Xiate City. The name of the hospital was the simple and intuitive "Xiate Central Hospital".
Today is the weekend as expected. There are a lot of people in the hospital, and there are many pedestrians and vehicles coming and going at the door. When Aunt Daisy drove the car over, she couldn't find a parking space nearby, so she asked Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen to get off the car early and asked them to wait at the door. She went to the lower parking lot farther away, found a parking space and then came up.
Joyson nervously grasped his trouser leg and began pacing in front of the green bushes near the hospital gate. "What should I do? I'm getting nervous again."
Jiang Yunu observed the people coming and going and consoled them, "Don't worry, you see I'm not nervous at all. I don't even know if I'm 11 years old."
Joyson paced back and forth. "I thought you wouldn't get nervous about anything—is it true that the word 'nervous' doesn't even exist in your vocabulary?"
Jiang Yunu said: "I am not artificial intelligence. No one has pre-programmed me. I definitely have all the emotions that a normal human would have."
However, Jiang Yunu is indeed less likely to get nervous about someone or something.
She often has an attitude of "let me see what happens next" towards life. She is not only optimistic, but also interested in facing all the unknowns.
People who live with this attitude may be less likely to get nervous.
Seeing Qiao Yisen growing increasingly anxious, his back and forth spinning almost dizzyingly, Jiang Yunu reached out and pulled on the "human spinning top" and found something else to distract Qiao Yisen: "Hey, look, aren't there a lot of people like us today who also brought their children to the hospital for physical examinations?"
Joyson followed Jiang Yunu's instructions and shifted his attention slightly.
There was a constant stream of vehicles and pedestrians at the hospital gate. Basically, a car would stop at the gate every few minutes, and the people getting on and off the cars were obviously school-age children and their parents.
Joyson looked at it for a while, then slapped his forehead. "Oh, right. Enrollment for the advanced supernatural school ended last week, and the elementary school will be enrolling soon. So, most of the kids taking the test will probably be here this weekend."
This huge group of people who brought their children for testing naturally included Jiang Yunu and the other two.
It was difficult to find a parking space, and it took Qiao Daisi a while to get back to the hospital entrance. Two strands of her red hair were stuck to her forehead. It must have been a long way to walk from the parking space.
"Okay." Aunt Daisy said, "Let's go in."
The first stop is the basic physical examination department.
Jiang Yunuo's age became a temporary no-prize guessing game. When Joyson thought of the mystery of Jiang Yunuo's age, he temporarily forgot his anxiety about the classification of his superpowers.
The instrument for measuring age is integrated with that for measuring height and weight, a bit like the street scales in Jiang Yunu's past world. As long as a person stands on it, the contact plate above will fall down and lightly touch the tester's head, and the tester's height, weight and age can be read instantly. It is very quick and convenient.
There is a queue in front of this instrument, and there are many people who need to have routine physical examinations today.
When Jiang Yunu's turn was almost here, Qiao Yisen insisted, "I still bet you're definitely not 11 years old."
Jiang Yunu also said: "What if I have it?"
The conversation between the two attracted the attention of other people in the queue.
The person standing behind Jiang Yunu was also a child, and it was hard to tell whether he was older or younger than her and Qiao Yisen.
The other party joined the conversation smoothly and said, "Are you brother and sister? If your sister is also 11 years old, she can go to junior school with you this year."
Joyson didn't expect there to be a "third party involved" and he was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Yunu turned around and saw a little golden-haired dog standing behind him.
When the little golden retriever saw her looking back, he smiled with his white teeth, looking very sunny and cheerful.
Jiang Yunu asked, "How do you know he's going to junior high school?"
Although there are many children coming to the hospital and the physical examination department is crowded, not all of them are children who have just turned 11 and are about to face enrollment in the junior school for special abilities. There are also children who come for routine physical examinations and to see other illnesses.
The little golden retriever pointed at Joyson's hand and said, "He's holding a few recruitment advertisements."
Junior schools of special abilities are very competitive with each other. With the enrollment week approaching, they have already sent their advertising flyers to medical examination hospitals.
When Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen were waiting for Aunt Daisy at the hospital gate, a small robot distributing flyers approached. Jiang Yunu thought that Qiao Yisen was too anxious and wandering around, which attracted the attention of the hospital robot. Unexpectedly, the other party was a □□ robot, which "squeaked" and took out a handful of colorful flyers from its belly.
"Only if your family has a child of the right age who's going to school would they bring so many flyers to look at," the little golden retriever said. "Your brother also bets you're not 11, which means he's definitely not getting the flyers for you. It can only be for him. He's one of the new students who'll be starting school this year."
The little golden retriever's analysis was quite reasonable and his observations were very detailed.
Usually, Qiao Yisen seemed to be communicating smoothly with Jiang Yunuo. As the two became more familiar with each other, he sometimes seemed like a chatterbox in front of Jiang Yunuo. But after all, he grew up in a run-down street where he lacked friends of his age. Once he faced strangers, he suddenly became "socially anxious".
The little golden retriever's chattering made it difficult for Joyson to respond. He was nervous and his expression was blank. He just nodded at the other party.
He said yes, the flyer was for him.
Neither Jiang Yunu nor Qiao Yisen denied the "brother and sister" thing mentioned by the little golden retriever.
Jiang Yunu was very respectful to the enthusiastic little golden retriever and said, "You have excellent observation skills and your guess is really accurate!"
The little golden retriever's smile immediately became even brighter, and it really looked like a human-shaped golden retriever.
"Your brother doesn't want to go to school with you?" the little golden retriever asked curiously, "Why is he so insistent that you're not 11 years old?"
Jiang Yunu thought for a moment and explained for Joyson: "He probably just thinks that I don't look like an 11-year-old."
After listening, the little golden retriever also looked Jiang Yunu up and down carefully, and then he stood up to Qiao Yisen: "Well, you really don't look like it."
Joyson had gained an ally in a miraculous way.
Jiang Yunu lined up in front of the little golden retriever, and finally it was her turn to stand on the instrument. The moment she stood on it, she received intensive attention from Joyson and the little golden retriever.
Both of them craned their necks, their eyes following the display screen next to the instrument.
The display screen first lit up the height and weight of the person being tested. As soon as Jiang Yunu's two indicators came out, a red exclamation mark popped up next to the test number, and a small warning floated in front of the screen: [The data indicators are far below the average for people of the same age. It is recommended to pay more attention to healthy nutritional status].
This line of text floated for half a minute, causing the last age data to be displayed with a delay.
The little golden retriever was really outgoing. He stared at the screen and poked Joeysen with his elbow: "Why is your sister malnourished?"
Joyson: “…”
This question was difficult to answer as it involved Jiang Yunu's privacy. For the first time, Qiao Yisen felt that the "Three Principles of Run-Down Street" were actually quite good. At least no one on the street would be so shameless as to inquire about someone they had only known for less than fifteen minutes.
Joyson chose not to speak.
The little golden retriever sighed: "Oh, you are so cold."
"Aloof" was the biggest misunderstanding about Qiao Yisen, but he couldn't care less at the moment. After the red warning that had been floating in the air for half a minute dissipated, Qiao Yisen saw the last piece of Jiang Yunu's age data come out.
Age: 11
Before Jiang Yunu saw the results of his physical examination, he saw the expressions of the two people below after the contact plate above his head rose again.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yunu tilted his head. "You look so shocked. I guess the results of my physical examination must be surprising."
Joyson's eyes were as wide as when he found out that Jiang Yunu lived across from him, as if he had experienced something unacceptable in his life.
Little Golden Retriever's reaction was better than Joyson's. He himself didn't understand Joyson's obsession with Jiang Yunu's age. He quickly recovered and said to Jiang Yunu, "Congratulations!"
The little golden retriever congratulated Jiang Yunu and said, "Congratulations on being able to go to school with your brother!"
Jiang Yunu knew the answer in advance. She got off the instrument and received the automatically printed medical examination result sheet.
Her height is currently too high to look at; her weight is also currently far below the average level for her peers.
However, she is a sparkling 11 years old!
Being 11 years old means that Jiang Yunu no longer has to worry about how to spend the days before she reaches school age. She can overturn all the previous plans and directly put "going to school" at the top of the priority list. She can go to school this year!
Jiang Yunu read the result sheet twice and couldn't help but smile.
Aunt Daisy, who came over to look for the two children, saw it and asked, "Why are you smiling so happily?"
Jiang Yunu smiled and handed over his physical examination results.
In order to improve efficiency, Joeyson accompanied Jiang Yunu in queue for a basic physical examination. Qiao Daisi just went to the supernatural classification test to get an appointment number for the classification test.
Aunt Dai Si saw Jiang Yunu's age test results and exclaimed, "Oh!" "So it seems my two appointment numbers weren't in vain."
