My name is Tianyu, and my parents told me that this name means that I am a gift from God to both of them.

On the day I remembered my name, I asked my father, "Mom's name is Ping'an, and because she is an orphan and has no father or mother, she doesn't have a surname, right?" And Dad, your name is Aoba Heinz, and the Heinz family currently has a grandfather, a grandmother, an aunt, and an aunt, right? ”

"yes, what's the problem?"

"So Dad, why is my last name not Hinds, but 'Lou'?"

Faced with my question, my father roughly explained to me the concept of adoptive father and adoptive mother, so I knew that my own grandfather, who was related to me by blood, had his surname Lou, "Lou", which was my father's original surname.

For as long as I can remember, I've known that my mom wasn't like me and my dad, not a human, but a creature called an adventitious worm. And in addition to my mother, many elders who care for me, including Uncle Tang Mo, are not human beings, but adventitious insects.

In my eyes, my mother has always maintained a human appearance that is no different from other women, and I can't see how different she is from humans, so I have never been able to figure out exactly what an adventitious worm is.

In order to solve this doubt, one summer, my parents took me to the beach on vacation, and I saw my mother as she was on the beach in another hemisphere, which is completely different from the city where we live.

Like a raw egg that has been peeled off, it has a fresh, translucent, completely transparent outer layer, and a completely opaque central part that can move freely, so that it looks like it is impossible to distinguish the balls from the top, bottom, left, right, front and back, and I can't believe that she is actually my mother.

It's just that even without the beautiful face that I always stare at, after putting my hand on my mother's foreign brother, I still feel the warmth that I feel every time I am picked up by my mother.

I climbed on top of my mother with my hands and feet, and I felt as if I was stepping on a marshmallow, and asked my mother to take me into the water. So, with my mother's "rubber boat", I soon came to the sparkling sea.

I didn't feel tired after playing the game of trampoline for a long time, and even if my father swam up to me and my mother and asked us to go ashore to rehydrate, I still didn't want to do it.

Jumping around, I was later planted from my mother's body because of excessive physical exertion. After falling into the water with a "plop", I couldn't breathe, so I had no choice but to choke on several mouthfuls of water, and my mouth was full of a salty and bitter taste peculiar to seawater.

Struggling to sink into the water, when I thought that my father, who was very close to where I fell into the water, would be the first to dive in and bring me to shore, it was my mother who first touched me.

The supple tentacles wrapped around my waist, and with a gentle wave of my mother's hand, I returned to her marshmallow-like back, and my father, who was not at ease, quickly came to my side.

Through this trip, I gained a real sense of the fact that my mother is an uncertain worm, and finally understood that she is indeed different from us. Of course, not only is it the round, soft body, and flexible and powerful tentacles, but in the later relationship, I also learned that my mother has another amazing ability, that is, flying.

The most widely used vehicle in the city, the hovering automatic skateboard, is something I see every day.

On weekdays, the hoverboard can only be suspended at the height of an adult's calf, but in some special cases, it can get rid of the limitation of suspension height and fly up to a height of several hundred meters in one breath.

The first time I saw a hoverboard flying into the sky in my lifetime was in Union City. At that time, Aunt Renhua's elder brother, Uncle Ling Yi, needed to follow his duty to arrest criminals, so he had the right to fly freely in a short period of time, so he was able to step on a skateboard and fly in and out of the middle of the building.

Because of Uncle Ling Yi's outstanding performance, my eyes lit up, and I took my mother's hand and sighed that it would be nice if I could fly into the sky like that. So, my mother, who lowered her head and looked at me, promised me: "If Tianyu wants to fly so much, then when you are on vacation next time, your mother will take you to fly once!" ”

I vaguely heard people say that I have the ability to fly, and I couldn't wait and was very excited to beg my mother to take me to fly directly, but it didn't go well, but I was ruthlessly rejected by her.

"Why can't you fly in the city, but go to the resort and leisure areas around the city, and you can fly mom?"

When asked by me, my mother's answer was, "Because not all the residents in the city we live in are adventitious insects." In the case that humans can't fly, only we, as adventitious insects, can fly at will, which will be very detrimental to the maintenance of public order, so my mother can't fly unless there are special circumstances like your Uncle Ling Yi. ”

My mother's explanation was too profound and obscure for me at that time, and it was only after Uncle Yayan came to the house and gave me examples and analyzed it that I really understood it.

Following my mother's arrangement, I patiently waited for the next vacation to come as soon as possible, and finally ushered in the day of going out with my parents soon after.

In the beautiful scenery, my mother held me in my arms, stepping on the mountains under my feet, and flying freely between the treetops and the fog, so much so that for the first time I felt dissatisfied with my human identity.

"Dad, Dad, I'm not an adventitious worm, is this already doomed, I will never have a chance to fly?"

"Of course not!" Dad smiled and rubbed my short hair, which was uncomfortably tied up like his hair, and then told me the solution.

"If Tianyu wants to fly, then, study hard and be admitted to the military academy, and then become a controller who pilots a humanoid mecha! If you become a manipulator, then of course you can fly. ”

"But, of course, if it's just to fly, then Dad definitely doesn't approve of you being a manipulator. Because the tasks that the pilots need to complete are always very difficult, and they cannot bear and persevere by relying on the love of flying alone. So, when you fill in the application in the future, you must think carefully and carefully, understand? ”[.]
