If The Moon Can Be Counted As A Star - Chapter 48

After hours that has passed onwards, Qiji place a mug on the minimalist table next to her at the same time Xiao Mei Zhi unhurriedly rise up from the bed.

“You are awake Miss,” Qiji poured out a water on the mug as she talks to Xiao Mei Zhi, “Mister Frei wanted to tell you that you must eat dinner with him.”

Xiao Mei Zhi stared at the light above her and confessed, “I do not know what to feel like anymore,” Qiji puts down the pitcher that was filled with water and then gave the mug to Xiao Mei Zhi.

When Xiao Mei Zhi decided to think of adopting Jingyi, she was sure of it. But when that alarming attack from the creature came, she chose to stay singled out. For the safety of everyone.

“Then do some changes Miss. Try a way to help your self. If somebody suggested you that you have to do this for your sake, then maybe you should try it.”

“I attempted to, but it almost killed me for my sake they say.”

“I know nothing about you. You know nothing about me. We only have one similar connection,” Xiao Mei Zhi closed her eyes for a second then she open her eyes to gave out a stare at Qiji, “Tell me,”

“Life.” Qiji genuinely was interested in Xiao Mei Zhis reaction but instead of getting one, Xiao Mei Zhi just move her shaky legs.

“Take me to the dining spot.”

Xiao Mei Zhi got Qiji off guard with her phrase but it only lasted two seconds then Qiji nodded, “Then let me help you get there.”

It was not easy for Xiao Mei Zhi in every step she take. She was still dizzy. Still, she confidently look well from the outside. Qiji who was helping her smiled at the people that were looking at them.

“Are we almost there?” Xiao Mei Zhi inquired with no evidence of standing unwell.

Qiji responded, “Almost, Miss. Just continue walking.”

Xiao Mei Zhi did not blurt out another word after they reach the room and Qiji quickly choose a chair for Xiao Mei Zhi to sit on.

“It seems she is well now,” Mister Shirong said.

Xiao Mei Zhi disregarded the dizziness that pokes on her temples as she speaks, “How are the children in the orphanage?”

Bai Biao then entered the room, “They are fine.” While Jingyi who was under the table pulling a thing that fell off from her peeks out, “Half are gone,” she declared.

As for Qiji who does not understand anything just waited for Doctor Frei to show up. At the same time, Jingyi was now sitting back to her chair.

“Why are we all here?” Xiao Mei Zhi naturally raised a question for everyone to answer, however, she only got the obvious response, “Let’s just wait for Silver Frei to tell us,” Mister Shirong was the one who told her.

“Why is my name being called out?” Doctor Frei walked inside with a portable polyester folder that contains a lot of files that Xiao Mei Zhi and the rest needed to know.

Mister Shirong who was older than Doctor Frei commented on the folder, “Is this a dinner-meeting?”

“Yes,” Doctor Frei did not meant to slam the folder on the free table area but it already escalated, a loud smack echoed.

“What are we going to talk about?” Mister Shirong placed his elbows on the table as he studied the plates that were already there on. It was likely rude for the others but Mister Shirong only did that to rebel against Doctor Freis plan. He already know half about it. Leaving Tianjin and go back to the location he loathed the most.

Doctor Frei with no additional delay, he opened the folder. “I should start talking about what would Qiji do, since she is new here.”

“Qiji has been found in a overcrowded part of an urban street.” The details about Qiji has been explained by Doctor Frei to let Xiao Mei Zhi know that Qiji has no suspicious background and overall a good partner for her. After Doctor Frei discussed her background, he then go shared the task that she was about to do.

“Qiji is here for Xiao Mei Zhi as a lookout since I would not be here for the next few months or probably a year,” Doctor Frei then gave out the papers from the folder to Qiji.

“Here is the detailed schedule and lists of additional information about the members in my pack.”

“Now, I would like Jingyi to get enrolled in the same school as Xiao Mei Zhi.”

Mister Shirong bobbed his head, “That would not be a problem. There’s a college and high school buildings in the same location. Which means they are schoolmates.”

“Which academy did you enrolled Miss Zhi?” Bai Biao curiously ask.

“Here is the details for you Jingyi. I will be your big uncle from now on since your papers on the orphanage got burnt, Mister Shirong will handle that.” Doctor Frei said, making Bai Biao presence unnoticed as he transferred the papers.

“Which academy?” Bai Biao repeatedly ask.

“Tianjins Perfroming Arts Academy, it has the photography classes that Xiao Mei Zhi likes.”

Xiao Mei Zhi who was still unsteady grasp her plate, she needed to eat instead of giving attention to Doctor Freis discussion.

“Alright, any suggestions? Just in case the two of you are not satisfied on the chores.” Doctor Frei directly look at Jingyi and Qiji.

The two minors was just silently reading the paper they got. Subsequently, they nodded at Doctor Frei.

“Ok. Then I will proceed now to Xiao Mei Zhi’s duty.”

Xiao Mei Zhi deeply sighed as Doctor Frei mentioned her name , the long round dining table that has been occupied by them gradually became noisier.

“You will be meeting up with a psychotherapist to make sure you can handle your studies well than before.”

“That would be a good plan for her,” Bai Biao who does not know Xiao Mei Zhis situation just agreed, because he could tell that she can do better in the future.
