In the living room, four people were seated on the sofa.
Gu Huaijin looked at Gu Zhiqi and then at Gu Xiyue, only to see both of them, one with an indolent expression and the other with a cool demeanor, both playing with their phones, heads down.
Gu Huaijin cleared his throat and spoke in a gentle and amiable tone, "Dear little ancestors, could you please put your phones down for a moment and listen to what I have to say?"
As Gu Huaijin spoke up, the two young girls lifted their heads in unison, turning their gazes toward him.
You know, the feeling of being stared at by two little ancestors simultaneously was a bit subtle, actually giving Gu Huaijin a slight sense of oppression.
"Today is September 6th, and school has already been in session for five days. What are your thoughts, high school seniors?" Gu Huaijin asked the two.
"We’ll return to school after the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday ends," Gu Xiyue said quietly, speaking up first.
Originally, if it weren’t for the Mid-Autumn holiday, they would have been expected to go back to school tomorrow.
But with the Mid-Autumn holiday, they had three days off, and today was the first day of the holiday.
Hearing this, Gu Huaijin nodded lightly, turning his attention to Gu Zhiqi, "And you? What are your thoughts?"
"Can I not go to school?" Gu Zhiqi expressed her lack of desire to attend school.
After all, the time for her retirement had been squeezed out of her schedule, and going back to school would interfere with that. Did she even have time for retirement anymore?
Gu Huaijin heard this, raised his brows slightly, and patiently asked, "Any reason?"
Gu Zhiqi: "Just, purely don’t want to."
Very well, that reason was very much like a reason.
Gu Huaijin fell silent for a few seconds before looking at Gu Zhiqi, "How about a suggestion, want to hear it?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi didn’t speak, simply looking at Gu Huaijin, signaling him to continue.
"You’ve lost your memory now and might not be clear about the past, but I think, in the future, you might want to go back to school."
Gu Huaijin said this, pondering for a couple of seconds before continuing, "How about this, I’ll ask the school to keep your enrollment active, and you can go whenever you want to. However, you have to attend the monthly exams. Does that work for you?"
After listening, Gu Zhiqi did not respond immediately, because a very important question had suddenly occurred to her.
Not wanting to go to school was just her own idea.
But at the moment, she still hadn’t determined whether this body truly belonged to the original owner or to her.
If this body was the original owner’s, indeed she had no right to make any decisions for her.
Besides reclaiming destiny as compensation for occupying the original owner’s body, she had to retain everything else that was originally the owner’s.
She might not need to go to school, but that didn’t mean the original owner didn’t have to.
Moreover, just as Gu Huaijin had said, her memory wasn’t complete, and perhaps there were things at school waiting for her to deal with.
After thinking it over, Gu Zhiqi still nodded, agreeing, "That works."
Seeing this, Gu Huaijin had already begun to think about what building he should to Divine Middle School this time.
"It’s the prime age for school, so what do you plan on doing if not attending?" Luo Fenghe said softly, raising a hand to touch the top of Gu Zhiqi’s head.
Why did they like to pat her head so much?
"Are you sure you don’t want to go to school? If you don’t, you might miss out on a lot of scenery," Luo Fenghe said gently, tilting his head slightly as he looked warmly at Gu Zhiqi.
Although she knew that, with this child’s capabilities, school truly wasn’t necessary.
But school, you see, wasn’t just about learning knowledge. There were also lots of colorful campus life experiences to be had.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi looked down slightly and remained silent.
"Zhizhi, you’ve never been to school, right?" Chubby Chiu suddenly spoke up in Gu Zhiqi’s mind, addressing her with those words.
