Chapter 1 Ordinary People?
In mid-August, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the morning temperature is warmer and sunny, but the occasional sun is not bad.
A short and frail teenager stood in front of an apartment, his school uniform and long white hair, his eyes seemed to be shining, and he looked radiant and energetic. Today is the day his parents and brothers have returned.
Walk through the door and take the elevator directly to the top 20th floor, where the top floor, including the roof, is his personal property.
When I came to the door, I reached out and pushed the door open with a "ding" sound, and walked in.
There was a man lying on the sofa in the living room, watching the live news in the window, which was the boy's father, Zuo Wen.
"Dad, you're here!" the young man said in a feminine voice, cold but revealing a faint hint of happiness. As he spoke, he looked around and into the other rooms, looking for someone else.
"En!" Hearing the young man's words, Zuo Wen tilted his head lazily and glanced at it, and continued to watch the news.
"Another year has passed, and the number of battles has continued, and the population has dropped significantly, and the number of Star Relic City has dropped from 150 million in 3286 last year to 140 million. The ratio of men to women is even more seriously imbalanced, increasing by one to 1:3, and His Majesty expressed regret for this, and said that he was very worried about the future of the country. β
Sighing slightly, the man reached out and touched the bracelet on his left wrist, closed the virtual window and turned around.
"Oh, by the way, your brother and they are not coming, the work is not finished yet, your mother is over there and has not come over, let's eat first." β
"Well, I see, I'll go back to my room first, and I'll come down later. β
In fact, Zuo Chen already understood when he saw that there was only Zuo Wen in the family, this is also a common thing, although his brothers did not come, but his parents came, and he is no longer alone this year.
I went back to my room, closed the door, and lay on the bed with my eyes closed, as if I was exhausted. After resting for a while, his eyes opened again, his black pupils became even more gray, and he couldn't feel a trace of emotion, because of indifference, the world didn't have a trace of color.
Today we have to be like ordinary people! Zuo Chen thought to himself.
At noon, the robot maid - Mei Mei cooked a meal and put it on the table, and the father and son ate silently without saying a word.
Ding, a figure appeared at the door, she was carrying a lot of things, and before they could speak, she trotted over, dropped her things, and hugged Zuo Chen, who was eating.
"Chen'er, my mother misses you to death, I just bought a lot of clothes for them and you at the three sisters' place, and I don't know if the size is appropriate, I'll try it after eating. "Zuo Chen's mother, Hua Huo, is particularly favored because of the four brothers in the family, and Zuo Chen's youngest is the most like a girl.
Suddenly hugged, Zuo Chen was almost choked, coughed several times in a row, patted his chest to get much better, and asked, "What clothes?"
"Rest assured, as usual. That style and workmanship, if you weren't too old, you would have tried it on!" Hanabi was still very confident in her vision, and in her opinion, that dress was definitely suitable for Zuo Chen.
"Oh, by the way, son!" Zuo Wen, the father who was watching the excitement, suddenly remembered something.
"Well, what's wrong. Zuo Chen looked at Zuo Wen suspiciously.
"Before you came back, a red-haired boy sent a letter that was meant to be given to you, but I took it for you before you came back. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket and curled it as if it had been ravaged.
"Is this a love letter!" Huahuo took the letter from Zuo Wen's hand, and said suspiciously, intending to open it, but before he could read the letter, he was snatched by Zuo Chen, torn up and thrown into the trash.
Because they are four brothers, they have no daughters, and he is the youngest, most like a girl, and he has been dressed as a girl since he was a child, so he has been confessed by many boys and girls.
"Although you are free to fall in love and marry freely now, Dad still wants you to ...... Forget it. Zuo Wen hesitated, wanting to say but not how to say it.
"It's okay, today the eldest sister has promised me to become Chen'er's fiancΓ©e. Hanabi patted Zuo Wen with a relieved expression.
When cooking today, she casually said that it would be nice if Xiaoye could be her daughter-in-law, and she really agreed. Hanabi looked at Zuo Chen half-seriously and half-jokingly.
Finally, Zuo Chen couldn't bear it anymore, ate the rest of the meal in three times and two times, and walked to the fitting room with helpless push and pull fireworks.
"It's just that she can't refuse you. Also, didn't you buy a lot of clothes, let's try them on now! Otherwise, school will be almost here, and I will apologize for this matter and explain it clearly. β
"Okay, let's wait for the evening, but this time the clothes are definitely more appropriate than before...... And ......" The expression of loss at the beginning became happier and more excited. In fact, Huahuo also seriously considered asking her to marry the current Zuo Chen, but she still felt that she would be wronged, so she finally decided to explain it clearly when they met next time.
The fitting room, full of all kinds of clothes, all bought by Hanabi before, filled half of the room. I was forced to wear a lot of clothes, a variety of combinations, and a lot of photos, and Hanabi's smile never stopped.
Zuo Wen took a sip of tea helplessly and relieved, waiting for the time to pass. Finally, after a long period of care from his mother, when it was time to go to school, Zuo Chen left the fitting room as if he was fleeing, and left the apartment after hurriedly saying hello.
As soon as I got out of the apartment, the hurried and hurried look, the helpless and disgusted expression, the happiness and happiness hidden deep in the pupils, gradually dissipated, returned to calm, and the world was as silent as a vacuum, and began to become colorless.
Only when no one else does he take off his disguise, because if someone sees his current state, they will find that he is slightly different from ordinary people after getting along for a while, because after experiencing that kind of thing, his feelings have become "dull". will want to return to ordinary people or disguise themselves as ordinary people, but he knows that it is difficult for him to change, and there is a shadow in his heart, even if he has tried many times.
School. Students arrived one after another, and many people greeted him, and he responded one by one with a smile, so that people could not see the flaws. Here he is very famous, one is excellent appearance, and the other is a disguised character, approachable, gentle and careful, which is liked by many people.
"Bell bell bell"
The class bell was remembered, and the students returned to the classroom, and the chatter around them gradually disappeared.
In class, the teacher wandered around the classroom while looking at the teaching window in front of him, and from time to time he said a few questions for people to answer.
"Wu Yu, how many times have you said it, don't play games so openly in class!" The teacher's stern tone revealed helplessness, obviously not the first time he encountered it, and symbolically knocked him on the head.
"Got it, teacher. Skillfully closing the game window to change the content of the lesson, Wu Yu said indifferently.
"Liu Hao, what year and month did the ancestor leave the ancestral star?" Seeing this, the teacher ignored him and began to ask questions.
"On April 14, 3164, we began to enter the universe," Liu Hao replied.
"Yes!" the teacher nodded in satisfaction and said again. "Fang Kang, how long did it take to enter the universe to find the Blue Dragon Star where we live?"
"From April 14, 3164 to May 25, 3271, one hundred and seven years and 41 days"
"So, what battles have taken place in recent years~well~ and twenty years?What is the specific year?What is the situation of the battles?What are the effects?Who wants to answer?" The teacher looked around, and under his gaze, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other.
After a few seconds, Zuo Chen said, "Teacher, I want to try." β
"Yes!" he nodded.
He took a deep breath, slowly stood up, his hands clenched into fists, his body was a little unnaturally tense, but no one cared, but would cheer for him, because there were too many battles over the years.
"The Great Battle, the Battle of Jukai, took place at five o'clock in the morning on October 19, 3282. Outside of space, he began to resist the attack, and was defeated repeatedly, although he did not intercept all the tree demons, only one tree demon hatchling landed on land, but it was discovered in time, and no major losses were caused, only a few people were injured and no one died. And in the air battlefield 319 soldiers were killed and 0 wounded. The impact is: Obviously under the suppression of numbers and strength, more than 300 people were killed, and no one was injured, which shows that the tree demon has the ability to make people die directly. Moreover, post-war studies have shown that the Dryad has a virus that can parasitize and modify organisms, so that the parasitic creatures also become Dryads. All kinds of cosmic creatures and all kinds of abilities make people sigh again at the vastness of the universe and the powerlessness and insignificance of human beings......;
......
That's it, it's time to get out of school, Zuo Chen's performance has already spread throughout the campus, this world is like this, people want to show themselves, show their value, and don't do a meaningless life. Those who do not look for their own value will be spurned and looked down upon by people who are willing to lose their own value or have no value, those who seek their own value will be recognized, and those who are valuable will wait for respect.
"Hey, did you hear that?"
"Yes. β
"I didn't expect him to know so much about the Battle of Shuhai, and the summary was very good. β
"Yes! It's amazing! The post-war summary is like a record of personal experience. β
Ignoring the arguments behind the scenes, he had become accustomed to it over the years.
Ignoring the words around him like this, taking the school bus, Zuo Chen returned to the apartment, returned home, looked at the empty living room, and was stunned for a second, it turned out that they had already gone back. My brothers don't come when they work, my father comes a few times 'occasionally', and my mother 'often'.
According to the laws of the Qinglong Kingdom, after starting school at the age of five, the pocket money must be obtained from a part-time job, and after graduating from primary school in five years, unless there are special circumstances, you must move out of the house to live independently or live in a school apartment, and your parents can only pay a minimum standard of living expenses.
"Meimei, I'll go up and do my homework first, and then call me down after dinner. "There is no one at home, and Zuo Chen doesn't have to disguise himself, deliberately pretending to be an ordinary person.
Mei Mei is a defective robot, with a high IQ and intelligence, but it is as difficult to understand feelings as Zuo Chen, and she can't express any feelings, she was picked up by her mother in the ruins outside the city, and she is older than Zuo Chen, and she deliberately reminded Zuo Chen to call her sister without expression, although he never called it.
"Okay, Chen'er. Mei Mei's face was dull without any emotion, but her voice was light and beautiful.
It's still the same as before, when I get home, I lie in bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
"Call the homework issued by the teacher," Zuo Chen said.
"Okay," Zuo Chen's earlobe replied. Immediately, a window appeared in front of Zuo Chen, and the job was automatically selected. Time passed quickly, and Mei Mei's voice came from outside the room.
Dad and his brothers are not here, so it is not as lively as before, and it is the same as usual.
"There are still a few hours left until the moon tide comes. Zuo Chen walked to the window and said to Mei Mei who was looking at the night sky.
Every year at 0:00 on August 15th, the second moon of this planet will emit clouds and mist at night to cover the ground, and the clouds and smoke will become a sea like a fairyland on earth, which is the moon tide.
After research, this cloud is not tight and harmless, but also strengthens the body, improves immunity and cell activity, and prolongs life. However, some scholars believe that this kind of physical fitness is a kind of transformation, and that there is not necessarily anything dangerous.
"Yes!" Mei Mei nodded slightly, but she couldn't tell what mood she was.
As usual, when Zuo Chen finished eating, Mei Mei walked behind him to help him fix his long hair.
"Chen'er, are you tired?" asked Mei Mei inexplicably. After a pause, Zuo Chen naturally thought of his emotional flaws and disguises about it.
"Go to school," Mei Mei finished speaking.
Wait for a while Zuo Chen said, "Why do you ask that?"
"I don't know! I just feel like you're tired!" Mei Mei shook her head. She didn't know why she asked that, but she just couldn't help but say it.
Back in the room, Zuo Chen tossed and turned, because his mind was full of Mei Mei's sentence: Are you tired?
After a long time, I looked out the window in a daze and thought: this year's moon tide seems to have changed. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Super Dimensional Ruins Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
