Chapter 211: Chapter 211: A New Journey

Wang Miaomiao held the medal and looked at it repeatedly, loving it so much. First-class merit, huh, she felt that her military career had reached its peak and could come to a satisfying close.

Now, retiring and transitioning to civilian life, there are no regrets.

And going to be a middle school teacher, she thought was quite good too. It was a perfect opportunity to prepare for the college entrance exam during free time.

“Do you like it that much?” Jiang Yan looked at her as she fondled the medal, unwilling to let it go, and laughed.

“Of course I do! This is the highest honor of my time as a soldier, something I can show off to my future daughter.” With her chin high, Wang Miaomiao was incredibly proud.

Jiang Yan’s heart softened instantly at the thought of having a cute little daughter like Miao Miao in the future, running around him calling him “dad.” Just imagining that scene felt so warm.

“Alright, let’s work hard together and try to have a daughter in two years.”

Hearing his words, Wang Miaomiao’s mind burst into fireworks.

She remorsefully tapped her mouth gently, regretting how she always blurted out words and dug a hole for herself. How silly!

“Haha, Brother Jiang must have many honorary medals…” Wang Miaomiao’s eyes twinkled, avoiding the topic and instead changing the subject.

Jiang Yan knew she was shy and didn’t tease her any further, nodding, “A lot, all for you.”

“Hehe…” This was acceptable, Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but grin happily.

It was another beautiful morning. Wang Miaomiao combed her short hair in front of the mirror, feeling the size of a thumb nail scar on the back of her head hadn’t fallen off. That area probably wouldn’t grow hair anymore.

Sigh…

Her poor, troubled head.

The scar under her forehead bangs had faded significantly, but it was still noticeable upon closer look.

Now there was another one on the back of her head.

Hmm… Wang Miaomiao thought for a moment and decided to start growing her hair out today. That way, she could tie it up and hide the unfortunate bald patch.

“Knock knock… Miao Miao, are you ready?” Jiang Yan’s voice came from outside the door.

“All set.” Wang Miaomiao responded and then went to open the door, “Morning, Brother Jiang.”

“Morning…” Jiang Yan entered, his eyes lit up as he saw the girl before him had taken off her military uniform and changed into a beige long dress, her face beaming with a joyful smile, radiating youth and vitality, “You look very pretty today.”

“Really… hehe… you look handsome too.” Wang Miaomiao stood there cutely, her hands behind her back, fidgeting with her fingers, feeling a little nervous, a little embarrassed.

Jiang Yan had also taken off his military uniform, now wearing a white shirt with all the buttons properly fastened. Tsk tsk… It might make one imagine inappropriately.

Jiang Yan’s lips curled slightly as he glanced at the luggage on the ground, “All packed? Then let’s go.”

He stepped forward, grabbed a bag in each hand, and walked out first.

Wang Miaomiao followed, leaving the room, and took another look. She had lived there for more than a year, and even though she felt attached to it, it was never her true home. Although reluctant, she knew she had to move forward.

“Bang…” The door softly closed.

Turning around, Wang Miaomiao looked at the figure already ten meters ahead, tall and upright, this man who gave her a strong sense of security.

She revealed a slightly contented smile. A new journey, she was ready for it.

“What are you thinking about? Hurry up.” Jiang Yan took a few steps but didn’t hear her following footsteps, so he stopped in confusion and looked back.

“Oh… here I come.” Wang Miaomiao stopped hesitating, running like a fluttering butterfly towards him.

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction. If his hands weren’t full, he would have opened his arms wide and given her a passionate hug.

Sunshine Middle School was the best school in District C, consisting of a junior and senior high school department.

The junior high had six classes each for the first and second year, and the senior high had four classes each for the first and second year.

Jiang Yan led her all the way to the principal’s office.

The door was open, but Jiang Yan still knocked, “Knock knock…”

The person inside, busy at the desk, looked up and quickly stood up to greet them, “Please come in…”

Principal Jiang had already received notification from above, knowing a new teacher who was a retired soldier was assigned to the school. He also knew this person had a background.

Therefore, Principal Jiang enthusiastically approached, “And you are?”

“Hello, Principal. I’m Wang Miaomiao, here to take up a position. These are my file and transition notification.” Wang Miaomiao took out the prepared materials from her bag and handed them over to Principal Jiang with both hands.

Principal Jiang smiled kindly. From her appearance and behavior, he had a good impression of Wang Miaomiao and thought highly of her.

The girl wasn’t the type to cause trouble, which was a relief. After all, the school just wanted to focus on academics given the tough external situation and didn’t need disruptions affecting its positive learning environment.

“Oh… welcome, welcome. Please, have a seat.” Principal Jiang happily received the documents and led them to a sofa, even pouring tea for them.

Wang Miaomiao felt a bit overwhelmed by the hospitality, “Principal, you are too kind, we don’t really need this…”

Principal Jiang was efficient and soon had two cups of tea ready.

Wang Miaomiao got up to bow and was about to reach out when Jiang Yan stopped her, as he received the tea from Principal Jiang and said, “Be careful. It’s hot, and your injuries aren’t healed yet, so sit back down.”

“Mr. Wang, injured?” Principal Jiang asked curiously since he didn’t see any visible injuries.

Jiang Yan seized the opportunity to explain, “Yes, Mr. Jiang was injured during rescue operations in the disaster area, had four stitches on the head, and a fracture in the left shoulder, recovering for less than a month. Muscle and bone injuries take a hundred days to heal, and the shoulder hasn’t fully recovered. We’ll need to trouble the principal to look after her a bit more.”

“Oh… I see.” Principal Jiang looked at Wang Miaomiao with even more warmth, acknowledging her as a soldier who risked her life to save others, a hero… “Don’t worry, I will surely look after our hero. Please, sit down, and let’s discuss things slowly.”

Wang Miaomiao was embarrassed by Jiang Yan’s praise, her face turning red as she sat down.

Principal Jiang reviewed Wang Miaomiao’s file closely, noting she had received a third and a first-class merit despite her young age, and graduated from a prestigious school.

He nodded in satisfaction, returned the documents to the file, and said, “The school term has already started. I received notice that a new teacher would join, so I adjusted the timetable. You will be taking over history for the six classes in the first year of junior high.”

“History? That’s fine.” Wang Miaomiao was pleased, feeling capable of handling the subject.

Hearing her agree readily, Principal Jiang felt at ease, finding her amiable, cooperative, and easy-going.

“Here is the timetable.” Principal Jiang handed over a paper.
