Chapter 391 - Magic Inside Her.
Chapter 391 – Magic Inside Her.
"Principal Ma'am, may I come in?" The soft voice melodically knocked at the door only to make the Principal and the class teacher turn their attention to the little girl who had suddenly appeared at the door of the office.
Just looking at her pretty face itself, the aged principal smiled as she welcomed the little girl inside the room. "Oh, sure, sure come inside child! How have you been? Are you enjoying your classes here?" The Principal asked as she gestured to WeiWei inside her room. The care and love she was showing for the little girl was not because of her father's name in her identity card rather for the way the little girl was used to carrying herself.
Little WeiWei was also nowhere less in her etiquette. Along with her mother's grace, she was learning her Daddy Angel's perfect knowledge too. Slowly and slowly she was getting in the perfect shape of the young miss from any high-class family. Though at such a ripe age nothing was clear to one's vision, still the rising sun says a lot about the day.
"Good morning, Principal Ma'am! I have been all fine under the care of teachers and I am also enjoying all my classes here. Thank You!", Little WeiWei greeted as she came inside to stand in front of the Principal.
"Ohh good, good! I have also heard the teachers complimenting you in every subject. Looks like our Li Wei is an inexplicably brilliant student of this school" The principal said. Her words, giving clear intentions to check something in the little girl's personality.
The little WeiWei pulled her slips slightly in a polite smile as she said while slightly shaking her head, "The teachers here are very nice to treat WeiWei with the best knowledge. I love studying with them because their classes make WeiWei a good student".
The class teacher who was standing at the side smiled knowingly as she muttered in her heart. 'This girl has always been a sweet talker. Heaven knows if it's her mother or her father that taught her all these tricks to please people's heart'.
The Principal also smiled at the little girl's response. This was what she was wanting to hear. Having pride in one's brilliance was a good boost for their determination but that boost if used in the wrong way, it could lead in building one's ego. And at such a young age she could not let such a brilliant student of their school get on the wrong path. Along with the parents it was also the responsibility of the school to look into it.
Nodding her head, she looked at the little girl. Without any doubt, she was impressed. "WeiWei, your Teacher Min was telling me that you have the ability to compete with your seniors. What do you think about it?" The principal asked again. Her eyes, not leaving the minutest expression of the little girl, expecting to see some kind of stage fear or the fear of competition in her.
But no matter how long or how sharply her aged eyes stared at her, it was not able to find any single line of fear on the little body in front of her. Like she was too confident in herself to get fearful of anyone. Her such behaviour was quite amusing to the older people's eyes but more than that amusement it was sparking the curiosity in the aged woman.
"Sorry Principal Ma'am, but I didn't think anything about it. Mama has always said to me that after her and my Daddy Angel, my teachers will be the ones to know me better. If Teacher Min thinks that I am good to compete with my seniors then I would go according to her" WeiWei replied, blinking her eyes innocently. Her eyes were all firm and innocent, away from the evils of this world. But still, somewhere in the corner there was sharpness too that was not from any learning rather was inbuilt in her character. Her genetics!
The class teacher smiled and was about to say something but before she could let out any syllable, the Principal gestured to her to hold back as she said her words again to Li Wei. "Are you that confident in your teacher's decision? You know competing with seniors is not that easy. They are both better in knowledge and experience than you. In front of them, you might have to face failure. But if you don't compete with them and insist on competing with your own classmates then there will be no doubt on your winning score".
Throwing the bait in front of the little koi fish, the Principal waited to see her response. Little Li Wei looked at her Principal then turned to look at her teacher. Her eyes, seeking some help but not asking it directly as if she was making sure to use her brain cells first before losing the hope to self-answer the situation. After all, both her Mama and Daddy Angel had told her that everyone has magical strength to find difficult answers by themselves. She also has within hers; she just has to put some effort to find them out.
Though she has never tried that angelic power of hers, there is also no harm to try now. So, looking at her Principal at the last, she closed her eyes to concentrate well on her said words.
The two elders were a little amused looking at her like that, but they did not disturb her. They knew well that every child has their unique way of taking things and sometimes their ways were just too different for anyone to comprehend.
After pondering everything well, Little Li Wei finally opened her eyes. Her grey orbs glittering with confidence, the confusion from moments before were all gone while a pretty smile was playing over her lips. If Li Xue would have been around then she would have understood that her daughter has found the answers to her questions … found her own unique way to use the magic she has taught her.
"Principal ma'am, I would be happy to compete with my seniors", she said with all confidence she had in her eyes.
The Principal raised her brows. Though she was happy that the kid had made a suitable decision for herself, she wanted to hear her reasons too. "Why so?"
Li Wei smiled as she detailed her reasons behind her decision. "Mama says that competition is just like a game and winning is not the only thing we should focus on. Games are made for enjoyment and better learning. So, whether losing or winning will not be my focus. And of course, seniors are older than me, it would only be better if I can learn from them, once I have learnt I can help my friend in learning them too".
"So are you saying that you are not intending to win here? Don't you think that will be a waste for you then? There will be lots and lots of people watching you. And also, not to forget, your teacher has also put her trust on you".
Li Wei got puzzled for a moment. But then looking at her class teacher, she said, "I was aiming for the worst since Principal Ma'am has said that I have very fewer points to win. But I promise I will give my best so that I cannot let my teacher's trust down".
Ms Min smiled when she saw her student caring for her. It's been months with her and she could already see the little girl growing well. How can she not be proud? Being her teacher, she has to be proud.
Looking at her, she simply said, "Li Wei you don't have to worry. Principal Ma'am is just testing your answering skills. There is nothing to let me down. When on stage, you should always remember your standing there itself is a moment of pride for me because you are my student".
The little girl nodded, perfectly understanding what her class teacher was making her understand.
"Li Wei, you can go to your class. Later I will ask your class teacher to give you the participation form. Make sure to take the signatures of your parents on it. Once they agree, we will help you prepare with your seniors. But you would have to work hard for that too. There will be a lot of guests at that event. You still cannot let me down.". The Principal said with a smile of encouragement and Li Wei instantly nodded in acceptance.
