Project Inhuman Chapter 9: Sudden Happiness
Wei Chen returned to the welfare home, and the three of them also passed smoothly from the dean, in short, this short day and night seemed to be just a small episode in life. But it cannot be denied that this incident has made the relationship between Wei Chen, Tong Ming and Lilia even closer.
Is it just a small episode? At least that's what Lilia thinks, and so does Tong Ming, as for Wei Chen, it seems that no matter how hard he tries to convince himself, but whenever he sees his fair and ruddy right hand, that inexplicable shadow will hit his heart, and he always seems unwilling to accept it. The reality that his right hand is intact', because if he accepts this reality, then he will undoubtedly have to accept a reality that he can't accept next, that is, the identity of the three of Mondo is definitely not ordinary, as a five-year-old child, Wei Chen absolutely does not doubt that they may even be aliens from another planet, and to have something to do with such a "person", no matter what, Wei Chen does not feel that it is a good sign.
Human beings tend to subconsciously have a fear of things that are beyond their own understanding, maybe Wei Chen is in this situation now.
As for the matter, this is the case? Still to be continued? Wei Chen felt that he was unpredictable, as if he was "carried" onto a thief ship that could not be carried out when he passed out.
However, I have to say that Wei Chen's premonition is really accurate, not only will he not be able to get off this thief ship, but even his fate will change dramatically, but what Wei Chen doesn't know is that he doesn't seem to be satisfied that he is the only one on the thief ship, and even his brother Tong Ming was unknowingly targeted by the "boat boss".
"Brother, why are you in a daze?" Tong Ming and Wei Chen sat side by side at this time, the two of them lowered their little heads, and their hairstyles had already returned to their original appearance, at this time Tong Ming quietly touched Wei Chen, who was slightly in a daze next to him, and in front of the two, it was Lilia who was foaming and preaching.
As soon as Wei Chen was touched by Tong Ming, he immediately sobered up from his thoughts, but the current situation was obviously not suitable for sharing the doubts and uneasiness in his heart with Tong Ming.
"You know what?"
It seemed that Lilia's reprimand was finally over, although I didn't know what the hell Lilia was babbling about for a long time in front of her, but Wei Chen and Tong Ming immediately replied loudly: "Teacher Lilia, we know that we are wrong, and we will never dare to do it again." "That kind of uniformity seems to have been practiced a thousand times.
Looking at the bright smiling faces of the brothers, Lilia's heart was gently touched, it seemed that whether it was a bad smile after a successful trick, or a smirk for no reason like now, she could always find bravery, fearlessness, open-mindedness and trust in the smiling faces of the two brothers. She knew that today's "strict teacher" would not be able to pretend to be able to do so no matter what.
"Hey~!" Lilia sighed softly, "Who made you smile so brightly, well, what do you want to eat at noon?" Is it okay for the teacher to do it for you personally? "Since 'strict teacher' can't be a teacher, then just be a stupid teacher who dotes on students!
"Okay." The two spoke in unison.
The gears of time turned, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.
In this vast world, the Shengming Welfare Institute is obviously insignificant, and because of its particularity, it makes the number of people who can pay attention to it become very small.
The development of society has progressed to this day, as if it has become a huge machine running in an orderly manner, and different positions have already been prepared to replace the "spare parts", you can not do it, but there are many people who replace you, with the increasingly fierce social competition, in any corner is deducing the "alternation of the old and the new" with different contents.
The improvement of social welfare is generally regarded as a matter of policy today. The most meaningful thing the government has done over the years is because it solves the sense of crisis of a large number of unstable people, who do not have to be responsible for the society and the country. The family is responsible, not responsible for their parents and friends, or even themselves, they are not responsible.
There are welfare homes in every city, and the number of orphans is increasing year by year due to the above reasons, which leads to the fact that even the Shengming Welfare Institute, a city-level welfare home, has as many as 1,000 orphans. The adoption rate of orphans is actually very low, in addition to the adoption rate is higher when they are very young, older children, generally no one will adopt, because no one wants a child who grows up in a missing environment to be their own child, therefore, the model of all welfare homes nowadays is more like a "volunteer education system", where older school-age children will receive education, from primary school to university, until they enter the society, and become an independent individual in the society to survive.
Of course, there are exceptions, the Shengming Welfare Institute is one such exception, every year there are many teenagers over the age of 15 who are adopted, and in the last two days, this kind of goddess seems to be more obvious, more than a dozen teenagers over the age of 15 have been notified of the adoption application.
"Brother, what you said is true?" Tong Ming sat on the swing and looked at Wei Chen in a daze, Wei Chen was sitting next door, obviously in the past two days, he had told Tong Ming what had happened.
"Yes." Wei Chen was looking at his right hand again, it seemed that Wei Chen had done the most in the past two days.
"Brother, what did that four-eyed say?" Tong Ming pointed to Wei Chen's right hand.
"I didn't ask, because this thing was so weird, and since they had done it, they should have already thought of their rhetoric, so it was better to pretend that they didn't know anything and see what they were going to do. But what I didn't expect was that they sent me back and left without saying anything, which is so abnormal. Wei Chen seemed to be passively waiting for further developments.
"Huh~~~" Tong Ming let out a sigh of relief, "Maybe it's annoying to stay in this place, they forgot to say anything, so they hurriedly left first." β
Hearing Tong Ming's words, Wei Chen was slightly stunned: "Tong Ming, don't you like it here?" β
"Of course not."
"But this is our home."
"Home? It's not home, it's just a cold... If it weren't for you and Lilia, I might as well sleep on the road and wander around the city. Tong Ming said with some loss.
Perhaps 'home' is a heavy topic for any orphan.
Hearing Tong Ming's words, Wei Chen's mood was also slightly lost, and he kicked the gravel on the side casually, and gently shook the sound of the swing "squeak~squeak", which quietly echoed in the ears of the brothers.
"Wei Chen~Tong Ming~, you two little ghosts ran out alone again." Teacher Lilia's voice could be heard in the distance.
Seeing Lilia puffing up in the distance, Wei Chen and Tong Ming's loss just now was immediately swept away, and they ran over with a bright smile.
"Lilia-sensei, you called us?" Wei Chen and Tong Ming had already run in front of Lilia at this time.
"Yes, you don't stay with other children, and you sneak out alone, so you will be alienated by other children." Lilia looked like a child.
"Teacher, don't tease, play a game of pretending to be a family wine with those little ghosts? That's naΓ―ve. Tong Ming looked helpless.
Lilia naturally knew that Wei Chen and Tong Ming's minds were at least similar to those of teenagers, but who made the two of them look like cute babies.
"Hmph, I'll pretend to be an adult, looking in the mirror are not two little ghosts, I have good news to tell you, but..."Speaking of this, Lilia smiled slyly, and suddenly stretched out her voice.
"Teacher, tell us some good news."
"Poof, this can't hold my breath, the teacher has a great news to say, you two received adoption applications this morning, how about it? Unhappy? Haha...", Lilia laughed happily.
"Collar.. Adoption application? Wei Chen muttered to himself.
Tong Ming also felt a little heartbeat at this time, does it mean that they will have their own home in the near future?
But this throbbing did not last long, and the two brothers looked at Teacher Lilia, who was happy for them, and seemed to think of a question at the same time, that is, when they left the Shengming Welfare Institute, it would also mean leaving Lilia. Apparently this was not what they wanted, so the two brothers looked at each other and nodded, as if they had agreed on something.
"Teacher Lilia, we don't want to be adopted." Wei Chen's resolute look was obviously not a joke.
"Huh?" Lilia was a little unresponsive.
"Teacher, my brother is right, we don't need to be adopted, such as... If you have to be adopted. Speaking of this, even Tong Ming, who is usually reckless, is obviously a little stammering.
"We want to be adopted by Teacher Lilia."
"......." Lilia looked at the red-faced brothers in a daze, obviously this joke scared Lilia a little.
"I... We're going to be pretty well-behaved. β
"We'll do the housework, we'll do our own laundry, and we'll earn money to support ourselves." Wei Chen and Tong Ming looked at Lilia, who was a little stunned, their faces were a little red, and they hurriedly added.
"Hahaha.... You two stinky little ghosts, you've started teasing the teacher again, and the teacher will be angry if you continue like this. Lilia's eyes flickered visibly.
"Teacher, we are not ......"
"That's enough, the adoption application should be approved early tomorrow morning, and then the welfare institute will send you away, and you go back tonight to pack up what you want to take." Lilia interrupted Wei Chen, who wanted to continue, and explained the matter clearly in a somewhat stiff tone.
Tong Ming seemed to want to continue to fight, his body that had just taken a step forward was suddenly pulled by Wei Chen next to him, Tong Ming turned his head to look at Wei Chen in some astonishment, and then saw Tong Ming bow his head and retreat to Wei Chen's side, because at the moment he turned around, he saw a faint indifference in Wei Chen's eyes, and he also saw that he reflected himself in Wei Chen's eyes was so panicked, that kind of look was like a little boy who had lost his beloved baby, and that little boy was himself.
"Teacher, thank you for informing us." After speaking, Wei Chen bowed deeply, then dragged Tong Ming, who was trembling slightly, bypassed Lilia, who was standing there, and walked straight in the direction of the classroom.
Wei Chen's eyes were seen by Tong Ming, and Lilia didn't see it, but she could only stand there, unable to say a word.
Perhaps the reason why bitterness is called bitterness is precisely because of that indescribable bitterness! A line of tears flowed down Lilia's face, and it also crossed Wei Chen and Tong Ming's immature faces.
"The two stinky little ghosts will only make others cry every time, forget it, give them a small gift when they say goodbye tomorrow." Lilia thought optimistically. In the eyes of adults, it seems that children will always be children, but what they ignore is the most sincere and deepest heart of children.
The stars at night, twinkling with a dreamy light, can't help but make people fascinated.
On a swing in the playground.
"Brother, are you really going to leave tomorrow?"
"Hmm." At this time, Wei Chen had an unconcealable loss in his eyes.
"Are you really going to be taken to a new home by someone you don't know?"
"That's not called home, the place where the two of us are together is home, at least from now on it's just the two of us."
"That's... What about Lilia-sensei? β
"She's not like us, she has a home."
"Haha.. That's right. β
After a long silence.
"Brother, will we come back then?"
"No, at least with this opportunity of the welfare home, we also have a reason not to come back here, at least... At least then she shouldn't worry about us. β
"Will she worry about us?"
"Yes, if it were us, she would." In any case, Wei Chen firmly believed in this.
It seems that for this sudden 'happiness', the two little ghosts did not pay the slightest attention to it, and their path will go down step by step in their own arrangement. Although it is inevitable that there will be some confusion in their eyes, but the identification after confusion is so dazzling, no matter who can control their fate, I am afraid that only they can do it.
