CHAPTER 339: CHAPTER 115: BEGINNING OF THE PRE-SERIES (PART 3)
Du Xixi intentionally drew people closer, and after chatting for a while, everyone naturally gathered together.
As the only woman among the four, He Yuan had already taken the two seats next to Du Xixi with Lin You, affectionately holding Du Xixi’s hand and joyfully calling her "Sister Xixi."
Seeing the increasingly harmonious atmosphere, Du Xixi pondered for a moment, then asked Lin You, "I have a request, and I wonder if it might be too intrusive."
What Du Xixi wanted to ask was nothing else but about Miao Miao’s schooling.
She had thought it over; Miao Miao was very keen on studying, and going to school couldn’t be delayed. However, Miao Miao’s identity posed a difficult problem, so she set her sights on Blue Star University.
She wasn’t thinking of letting Miao Miao skip the first three schools and directly enter Blue Star University, but she hoped that Blue Star University would help solve Miao Miao’s identity issue.
If it were ordinary academic registration, Du Xixi wouldn’t need to worry much; a request would naturally find eager helpers. But Miao Miao had some feline traits and had even transformed into a cat in serious injury, there was always a risk of her suddenly turning back into a cat.
With too many uncertainties surrounding Miao Miao, Du Xixi urgently needed a reliable backing to help resolve her identity issues, allowing her to attend school like a regular person, keeping her free from others’ judgments, and letting her freely immerse herself in the world of books.
Du Xixi didn’t have connections in academia nor in the Ke Family’s military circles, and asking Chen Yin would draw too much attention, so she turned her thoughts to Blue Star University, which had appeared opportunely.
Even though Sun Mulin seemed to be from an aristocratic family of scholars, the Sun Family was unaware of Miao Miao’s uniqueness. Du Xixi also didn’t know the character of the Sun Family members, hence didn’t dare risk involving Miao Miao recklessly.
But Blue Star University was different; it had managed to stand for millennia, ranking at the forefront of Interstellar University listings for hundreds of years, all supported by the Blue Star Empire and its robust strength.
Du Xixi had already investigated before coming; decades ago, Blue Star University had funded students just like Miao Miao, who had unique appearances, allowing them to grow up safely. Now, one such student is a renowned biologist actively opposing "human experimentation."
Although that student became uniquely shaped due to human experimentation, Miao Miao shares a similar plight, and Blue Star University having dealt with such cases before could certainly manage Miao Miao’s schooling properly.
Lin You herself was the administrative dean at Blue Star University, an executive professor with considerable sway there. Seeing Du Xixi hesitant, she encouragingly said: "Go ahead, as long as it’s within my power, I will help you!"
"Here’s how it is, I adopted a sister earlier, and she loves reading. But she has cat ears and a tail..." Du Xixi spoke partly candidly, partly euphemistically, and winked at Lin You, who understood.
Lin You promptly slapped her thigh and straightforwardly said, "I got it, just send me your sister’s information, and I’ll arrange everything else for you!"
Lin You liked Du Xixi, the "sister" who had no airs of superiority, and agreed readily, not only because she didn’t want to refuse Du Xixi but also since the matter wasn’t of great difficulty to her.
When that special student enrolled before, Lin You wasn’t the administrative dean yet, but she had good relations with the former dean and was involved in the funding matter. Now helping another student, she was experienced enough.
Besides, Lin You was naturally empathetic, having self-conceived Miao Miao as a subject of human experimentation, filtering Du Xixi’s euphemisms and assuming the cat ears and tail were outcomes of such experiments.
Crazy scientists resorting to innocent children was intolerable to anyone with a conscience. Lin You sighed and softly told the pleased Du Xixi, "Your sister is pitiful, bring her over to see me when you can, and I’ll ensure no one looks down on her!"
"I thank you on her behalf." Du Xixi felt relieved with most of the issue settled, feeling physically and mentally relaxed.
"What’s her name?" He Yuan was curious about the ’sister’ Du Xixi mentioned, so seeing Du Xixi soften her gaze, she gently asked.
Du Xixi glanced at Lin You and the others who were also curious about her ’sister’, and laughed, saying, "Her name is Miao Miao, she’s very shy normally, a well-behaved child, usually either at home or the Imperial Library reading books. I’ll try to bring her along next time I visit."
