If The Moon Can Be Counted As A Star - Chapter 38
Xiao Mei Zhi analyzed her story about the paper and Doctor Freis question. Yes, she has been recycled but Jingyi was different from her. She does not have the same chance as Jingyi. However, she even thinks that if she was Jingyi then it will be a similar choice. The choice of rejecting and escaping the petition of an adoptive parents or individual. Then she rubbed that thoughts away to raise a question at Doctor Frei.
“Why would you suddenly reverse the situation? From adoption then back to talking about me? . . why have you given your word about me being a guess and then do this?” In any case, Xiao Mei Zhi did felt slightly sad. ‘Mother’. . another strike in her thoughts. She looked at Doctor Frei to only noticed that his eyes were just like her. Hazel brown eyes.
Still, Doctor Frei did not feel any guilt in throwing a reverse logic at her. He expected Xiao Mei Zhi to think the future about the child at the back of her mind.
“You have been into a state of depression. And I wanted you to also try going to a psychologist with me before you can be a mother of Jingyi and I must tell you this, I have finish transferring your previous college records to a new institute.”
She was not sure enough of what she heard. ‘I got transferred to a different school? And not just that, I need to go to a psychologist. Which means I have to look for a job so I would not owe Doctor Frei?’
“Also, you do not have to worry about looking for a job. I can provide your needs. Just tell me. You know, you can.”
“That is not the only problem. I disagree going or meeting a psychologist.”
“You need it.”
“Why?”
“For Jingyi. You can not adopt her with your current situation and lifestyle.”
With regards to Xiao Mei Zhi’s plan in adopting Jingyi, Doctor Frei did not roughly just jabbed through it. Because Xiao Mei Zhi in the moment wondered ; What kind of Xiao Mei Zhi would be seen after three or possibly five years?
Basically she would be much more in control of her emotions and other issues that she was not sure about on what to think. Even the tiniest achievements, the outcome would be worth it.
Doctor Frei flipped the paper that he already has in his hand and the word they saw in the paper were “Requirements in Adopting a Child.” Xiao Mei Zhi then double check the stack of papers on the desk.
Takoyaki, the five pages of the stack papers were the list of requirements, no details about Jingyis biological parents! Not even those who previously succeed in adopting her!
However, when she turned over to the sixth page there she saw Jingyis face. A eight months old chinese baby smiling at the camera with no teeth. A smile that can guarantee a relaxed sensation.
It did involve much of a young adult lesson of restarting a new life with a child, the details that were listed on the paper got Xiao Mei Zhi taken aback. Mixed with a lot of personal feelings. She was confuse on what to do with it when her eyes landed at ‘Adoptive Parents or Individual must earn 10,000 dollars as a minimum wage.’
A person like Xiao Mei Zhi needed more than a psychologist to sort out her self and extract a mindful information from a experience just like this.
Doctor Frei glanced at Mister Shirong from a distance before Xiao Mei Zhi decided to put a deal with him on the side and accept what she had missed out for a whole month pertaining to after new year.
“Now, you must tell me.” Doctor Frei said while he was still glancing at Mister Shirong.
“I want you to adopt her, let her bring your surname. Make her legal.”
Doctor Frei gathered the stack of papers to his standpoint and told Xiao Mei Zhi, “I wanted to adopt you. But I can not force you. And you should not force Jingyi to put a surname if she does not agree, ok?”
She was about to say a phrase, yet another unexpected scene was about to happen. . Muckbuckle punched the dining door while he furiously sniffed something in the air. Muckbuckle furrowed his brow.
Mister Shirong was the first one to react, “Muckbuckle , do not intimidate the children here. Please, Doctor Gmeis already had done a lot before you..” He pleaded.
Doctor Frei was shifting his glance around the room, he did not meant to put a shame on the orphanage including how the children will see this view.
Still, after what Mister Shirong said , Muckbuckle did not respond but he walked fast. He manage to catch up and yanked Jingyis arm.
Doctor Gmeis side was spacious and comfortable even if she was surrounded by a few children, and she felt that it sure was good to have a portion of memory like this. However, Muckbuckle cut her happiness off. Although, gnomes are the witches companion they must not cross in their line.
“Mister Shirong, I am sorry about this commotion. I will have to leave this kids on you. I have matters to deal with.”
“Go. And thank you for helping us here.” Doctor Gmeis bowed her head quickly before she leave the children with a heavy heart.
Xiao Mei Zhi instinctively behaved like a parent, she also snatch Muckbuckles arm as if she was that strong.
“Do not touch her!”
Doctor Gmeis was thinking hard about why Muckbuckle performed that. He only did that kind of deed when he smell a Vampire. He had a grudge against Vampires.
Just by assessing how Muckbuckle deeply look and sniffed at Jingyis clothes, there must be something wrong.
“Let him go, Xiao Mei Zhi!” Doctor Gmeis said Xiao Mei Zhis name completely with molten anger poured through her. But because it was Jingyi that Xiao Mei Zhi was trying to defend , she made sure it would not hurt Jingyi first.
And as of this juncture for an incredibly lengthy hung back, Xiao Mei Zhi gathered all her constructive energy to gain boldness out from her to just tell, “Then tell Muckbuckle to let Jingyi go!”
