Chapter 49: Accepting the Invitation
Wei Ji knew that Ange was right.
From the time the Kassel Academy appeared in his life, the clock called fate seemed to be wound up.
Wei Ji was dragged forward in the torrent of time, and he always knew nothing about the future.
More and more things are telling him that the world seems to be getting weirder and weirder, and it is only the tip of the iceberg at present, but it is already extremely dangerous.
Now it seems that these few days of stability are like a dream, and they are all in vain after all.
Dreams always have to wake up.
If it is really as Ange said, then Xia Mi is indeed very dangerous, she needs someone to protect her, and Wei Ji has long been aware of the matter of protecting Xia Mi.
He didn't doubt himself, he was just not sure about the future, maybe at this moment, Ange's determination was real, but who could guarantee that people's hearts would never change?
Xia Mi is indeed by his side, but even more so under the eyes of those people. What's more, Wei Ji didn't even know who the enemy was, and how could he prevent it.
What lies ahead of fate is anyone's guess. Life is never smooth sailing, and at the fork in the road of fate, people always weigh the pros and cons and finally make a choice.
"But I'm still a minor, I haven't finished high school, will I go to college too early......
Natsumi's tone seemed a little troubled.
Obviously, it was not an easy choice for her to make either.
"The school does require you to finish high school, and that's because people with good blood can be dangerous if they are not mature enough in their minds, and geniuses are always so extreme. By the end of high school, children are approaching adulthood, and their minds are more mature at that time. Ange explained.
"As for Natsumi, you've really done a great job, so you don't need to worry about that at all. As for the regulations, there is no need to worry, but don't forget, grandpa, I am the principal. ”
Obviously, Ange did not do much to change the rules for the use of permissions, and Ange had a smile on his face.
"Natsumi, then come with me to enroll."
After weighing it repeatedly, Wei Ji still felt that it was better for Xia Mi to go to college with him. He chose to believe in himself, Natsumi was by his side, and he could take care of her as usual.
However, in the past, who took care of whom, someone didn't have AC counts in his heart at all......
"But I just completed the admission procedures at the high school here, and if I transfer now, will it not be good, people have to talk about the spirit of contract."
Natsumi clenched her fists, her chest was in a triumphant shape compared to V, and her face was full of seriousness.
"Besides, I really want a full high school. After all, no life is complete without the college entrance examination! ”
It seemed like a good idea to sneak into the Kassel Academy and wait for an opportunity, and the thought kept coming to Natsumi's mind for the past two days.
But she still has things to do, for example, her "younger brother......
In the face of the impending fate, Natsumi must be prepared, sometimes it is not a good thing to be in too haste, that will always be passive.
After listening to Xia Mi's reasoning, Wei Ji and Ange were silent.
Natsumi was still full of energy, but Wei Ji felt that she was afraid.
A girl who is only sixteen years old, facing such a dangerous future, is it not normal not to be afraid......
"Okay, as you wish, I will communicate with the academy, let this preparatory class be set up in BJ, after this Olympics, I believe many students will also be interested here. You can finish high school here, take whatever test you want, and I'll come back next summer and pick you up. ”
It's normal for a sixteen-year-old girl to be confused about the future, so she needs a safe haven, which is probably the meaning of her grandfather's existence.
Ange was ready to shelter his granddaughter from the wind and rain, and had already thought about all the arrangements and requirements for this preparatory class.
"Okay, thank you grandpa, I will definitely work hard." Natsumi had a smile on her face.
Ange had achieved his goal, Natsumi's request was fulfilled, and the matter was supposed to end here.
It's just Wei Ji, he has always had a lot of questions in his heart, and Wei Ji also knows his own questions, and Ange will probably not tell him the answer.
But seeing that Xia Mi's matter seemed to be over, Wei Ji finally couldn't help but ask.
"What kind of person is my grandfather?"
Although Grandpa is no longer there, many of the things left behind are a mystery.
Wei Ji wanted to know what kind of person he remembered as the lighthouse that had been guiding the direction of his life.
My previous self was too one-sided, and I never took the initiative to understand my grandfather, and I didn't understand him at all.
"Your grandfather," Ange seemed to recall, "is strong, wise, and merciless to his enemies. ”
"Actually, I knew you were going to ask me about him, but I didn't know how to answer, in fact, I don't have a deep friendship with your grandfather, but I don't know why, your grandfather seems to know me very well."
"In my eyes, he is a friend who deserves respect. He is probably kind to you, his love for you is not just superficial, in fact, in many places that you have not found, he has also done a lot for you, in short, in terms of family, I think he is great. If you want to know about the past, you need to dig out for yourself, I won't stop you, but I won't tell you either. ”
That's probably all Ange knows, and Wei Ji is a little disappointed.
"You are still very young, at your age, I am still carefree, only enjoying today, with poetry and girlish fragrance in my heart. You have a lot of potential, don't rush, grow well. ”
As is probably the case in all novels, the young knights immediately descend the mountain to find their worthy opponents and try their sharp swords.
Their swords are sharp, they are vibrant, they are full of talent, but they are also impatient.
Wei Ji was like this, he was noncommittal about Angers' response, and remained silent.
Every time he heard the phrase "don't be in a hurry", he seemed to be able to see those enemies flaunting their might against him, how could this make him calm, besides, it must be right to be calm?
"Do you know how old I am?"
Looking at the young man in front of him, Ange took a sip of wine, and the green taste of the wine made him dazed for a while.
"It's been so long, I can't even remember, is it one hundred and thirty-six?" Ange seemed to be asking himself.
Wei Ji was a little surprised, this age is not much in human history.
And he is over one hundred and thirty years old, no matter how he thinks about it, he should lie in bed and be unable to move, but Ange is still alive and vigorous, and he doesn't even have much twilight that can't be erased from that kind of old man.
"Actually, a long time ago, it was called 'Hilbert. Let. Ange's people are dead, and now they are living only a shell of hatred. The enemy took everything from me, my dear friends, my love, and even my soul was buried with them at that time. ”
"I'm one hundred and thirty-six years old, and no one can say how long I can live, maybe tomorrow when I die?"
Ange was not confused, his eyes were determined, and now he was only speaking of his realization.
"When I die, my hatred will be buried with me, by the land. So I should be in a hurry, after all, there is not much time left for me, but I don't, Wei Ji, do you know why? Ange said.
"Because I know that if my heart is shrouded in hatred, I will never be able to see any direction again. Revenge requires strength, and even more so, a clear brain. ”
"Don't worry, the old trees that are not dead can still protect you from the wind and rain. As educators, that's probably the biggest role for those of us. Grow up under our protection, learn from our experience, master the power before we fall, and the future world belongs to you. ”
Bathed in the sun, Wei Ji was a little shocked, and the old man in front of him was clearly so upright.
……
With the start of the school year approaching and the annual report of the school board having just been completed, Angers has a lot to deal with.
He was supposed to leave as soon as the matter was confirmed, ready to go to the next battlefield, and the luxurious "Harbor G550" was his mount, arriving at the international airport on time at twelve o'clock BJ time.
But Ange didn't leave, he took Natsumi to the amusement park, and then took her to buy clothes and accessories.
Ange meant that he had finally come once, how could he leave in such a hurry, he had to spend more time with his granddaughter before leaving.
For this, that private jet was parked at the airport for the entire afternoon.
A young and lively beautiful girl held a handsome old man in a black suit in both hands, and the handsome boy followed behind them, not far away.
The combination of the trio is extremely eye-catching on the street.
Beautiful girl, best old man, sunny and handsome big boy, there is always one for you.
Of course, with the addition of a Maserati, the return rate is 200 percent.
It was a beautiful afternoon, no one came to disturb us, and there were no accidents, let alone anything that ruined the atmosphere.
Whatever the girl asks, the old man will meet.
Even Wei Ji had to admit that Ange was really a good grandfather this afternoon.
At half past five in the afternoon, the parting finally arrived, and Wei Ji and Xia Mi sent Ange to the airport together.
Because Ange was going back to the academy, before leaving, Ange also asked Wei Ji if he wanted to join him.
Wei Ji decisively refused.
The summer vacation is not over yet, and before Mance only needed to report to the Kassel Academy in mid-September, it was only August 26, and it was still early to leave the school.
Moreover, he is about to be separated from Xia Mi, and Wei Ji wants to accompany her more.
What kind of person is Ange, he is more than one hundred and thirty years old, and he has walked more bridges than Wei Ji has walked.
He could see through at a glance what Wei Ji was thinking, but he didn't say anything, and in Xia Mi's reluctance, Ange still boarded the plane.
After watching Ange's plane take off and disappear into the sky, Wei Ji and Natsumi returned to the neighborhood again.
The scenery in the community is the same, but after arriving downstairs, I found that there are many more people under this old building......
Those people wore uniform special uniforms, and all of them were so good that they could go to bodybuilding competitions. Waiting under this dilapidated building, those who don't know it thought that the Navy SEALs were carrying out anti-terrorist operations here.
They are all from the engineering department of the Kassel Academy and are responsible for handling the logistics of the college.
After receiving a call from the principal, the group gathered from all over BJ.
Just to help a beautiful girl carry her bag......
Helping a beautiful girl carry a bag may not be within the scope of the work of the school work department, but if that beautiful girl is the granddaughter of the principal, then it must be the logistics department, oh no, it is the work of the school work department......
The strong men of the school engineering department were waiting for each other, and their expressions were serious.
The big bags and small bags carried by this group of people were all gifts that Ange bought for Xia Mi, and the old man was very generous, and he was very chic when he swiped his card.
Why is Xia Mi reluctant to give up on Ange? Why does Wei Ji think Ange is a good grandfather?
That's why.
I have to say that Wei Ji learned a lot from Ange today, such as: love needs bread......
Four years of companionship was almost defeated by an afternoon of generosity, which made Wei Ji wake up like a dream!
One by one, strong men followed behind Xia Mi and Wei Ji, helped carry these gifts upstairs, and then put them into the house one by one, and finally arranged them into a small mountain.
The already small room was even more closed at this time, and after those gifts were laid down, there was almost no room for passage.
After doing all this, it seemed that it was the captain of the group, the strong man covered in tendons and flesh, who stood up and didn't do anything, just handed a business card to Xia Mi, saying that he could contact him at any time if he needed anything.
After performing the task arranged by the principal, the strong men saluted Xia Mi in unison, and their uniform movements almost trampled the old building......
Watching Xia Mi tear down the gifts in the house with his eyebrows fluttering, Wei Ji was a little upset.
He felt that he was really a failure, four years, not as good as this afternoon, did he really not understand girls?
Wei Ji thought about how to redeem it, and he already had some thoughts in his heart.
Just when Wei Ji was a little stunned, a bell rang.
The caller ID was Mance, this is the professor who enrolled the admissions, and the last time he called himself was in early August, informing him of the start of school.
And for what is it for this time?
Wei Ji picked up the phone.
"Is it Wei Ji?" Mance's voice on the other end of the line was a little urgent.
"It's me." Wei Ji replied.
"I'm really sorry, the college has issued a temporary notice that the registration time for all new students has been changed, and you may not be able to stay at home until mid-September." Mance was apologetic.
"Changed? Why? Wei Ji was confused.
"I don't know, it's the notice I just received, but it seems that the academy has suddenly added some matters, and you freshmen need to come to the academy as soon as possible."
"And what is the revised time?" Wei Ji asked the question he was most concerned about
Wei Ji knew that there was no point in continuing to ask the question "why start school early", and he had just told Ange that he wanted to stay here for a while, and it didn't take long for him to be suddenly notified that the enrollment time was early, and there was obviously a problem.
If this matter hadn't been done by Ange, Wei Ji wouldn't have believed it!
"September 1st, enroll at the same time as those old students, the ticket will be delivered to you tomorrow, and when you arrive, I will be waiting for you in Chicago." On the other end of the line, Mance was a little pleased.
