XVII: Love has a price
Xiaomeng sat alone in the living room: "Did I really misunderstand?" Forget it, what can these two big men do. This Xiaoda doesn't want to say anything, and the younger brother can't help it. ”
Xiaomeng picked up her bag and walked to her room.
Taking out today's research statistics and looking at the information obtained today, Xiaomeng is very satisfied with her idea.
Sitting at the small table, Xiaomeng couldn't help but think of why she chose to major in design many years ago: since she was a child, her parents paid more attention to the cultivation of the interests of the two siblings. But by chance, the interests of the two sisters and brothers are just opposite, Xiaomeng likes to stand in front of various wardrobes and enjoy the display of various clothes since she was a child. Mom and Dad once thought that Xiaomeng wanted to wear new clothes, and would always buy new clothes for the two sisters and brothers at this time.
As everyone knows, Xiaomeng just likes to see all kinds of clothes, and her young heart is full of yearning for these ingenious designers. When I'm older, I like to buy all kinds of fashion books and magazines, so now I think I'm working hard for my dreams.
Suddenly, Xiaomeng flipped to Meng Zhen's investigation report, and said: I hope that every piece of clothing has its own emotions that it wants to express appear in front of me again. Xiao Meng never thought that this domineering person would have the same concept as herself, thinking about what happened that day, a smile appeared on Xiao Meng's face.
Raised his hand and looked at the necklace on his hand: "Is it really possible?" Suddenly, Xiaomeng felt a slight heat in her wrist again: Is it true? Now I wish I had something to measure. Xiao Meng suddenly remembered that there was a tape measure at home, so she rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and began to look for it: "Xiaoda, have you seen the tape measure at home?" ”
"Take a look at the coffee table."
Really under the coffee table, Xiaomeng picked up the tape measure and hurriedly ran back to the room, first marked his height on the wall, and then measured it with the tape measure. Really, it's really cheap to use this measuring instrument today in 2023, but who cares.
“156? I'm not dreaming, I'm 25 years old, and scientific statistics should have stopped growing and developing. This is a pleasant surprise! Moe spun in front of the mirror.
"By the way, he also said that he would add his own will." Moe almost hit the mirror.
"I, Yu Xiaomeng wants to think very much, it's the special kind that wants to grow taller!" Xiao Meng said seriously and seriously about the bracelet.
At the same time, Meng Zhen was dizzy. Lately, I don't know why, and I've always been dizzy from time to time. It's been a few years since the earth came to this place, and it's rarely been like this, so it's become more and more ordinary recently. Meng Zhen took a glass of water from the table with his hand, and while drinking it, he wondered what was going on: Could it be that I had been away from the nuclear star for too long? Possibly, after all, no nuclear star has been on Earth for as long as I did. But now Xiaomeng hasn't liked me yet, and I can't leave. That's right, grandpa!
Meng Zhen quickly stood up and went to the bedroom to take out the box given by his father and opened him. A beam of light reflected from the box, and a voice came: "Hello, my descendant of the Meng family." I'm glad someone opened this box, it seems that there are already people in my Meng family who can enter and leave the earth at will. Are you experiencing any difficulties? ”
"Hello, Grandpa. I am your grandson, Meng Zhen. I am now free to come and go on Earth, and I have been here for 3 years. But lately I've been experiencing a bit of dizziness for some reason, and I wonder if I've been away from the planet for too long? ”
"There will definitely be some special circumstances when we leave the nuclear planet and come to a strange planet, but you have been here for 3 years, so it stands to reason that you should be more accustomed to this place. Do you use your abilities regularly? ”
"No, I basically don't use abilities on Earth, I've adapted to the life of Earthlings, and I'm usually no different from them."
"Then you try your abilities now."
Meng Zhen stretched his palm forward and pointed to the mobile phone at the bedside: "Get up!" ”
The phone flew upwards for a short moment, then fell down again.
At the same time, Xiaomeng looked at the bracelet: "I want to grow taller, I want to grow taller." Feeling the slightly hot wrist, Xiaomeng was very satisfied.
"How so?" Meng Zhen was amazed.
"Your abilities are waning." Grandpa explained.
"Why?" Meng Zhen couldn't believe it.
"Did you inject the ability somewhere else?"
Meng Zhen thought for a while: "Oh, by the way, I have injected it into a bracelet." ”
"Where's the bracelet?"
"At someone else's."
"Then I see. You inject energy into the bracelet, and the bracelet is not with you yet. At the same time, the energy of this bracelet is still being used, right? ”
"Yes." Meng Zhen was a little uneasy.
"This person is an earthling?"
Meng Zhen nodded.
"Kid, each planet has its own laws of operation, and we can't destroy it at will, even if we have special abilities, we can't destroy it at will. Even if you can change something, you have to pay a huge price. Hurry up and get the bracelet back. Grandpa said worriedly.
Meng Zhen swiped his hand in front of him again, and Xiaomeng's picture appeared in front of him, looking at the happy Xiaomeng on the screen. Meng Zhen put the screen away with a slightly sad smile.
"Grandpa, what will happen if you don't get it back?" How could Meng Zhen be willing to shatter the dream of this person he held in his heart, and he also gave her hope at the beginning.
"Your ability to come and go as you like as you want comes from your abilities, and if your abilities are consumed, your access to Earth will be restricted. But the good thing is that the Earth's environment is similar to ours, so you won't have any other problems here for the time being. But if you don't get your abilities back soon, it may be impossible or even life-threatening for you to stay on Earth! ”
Listening to his grandfather's words, Meng Zhen fell into deep thought: Everything has just begun, is it about to end? I haven't seen enough, how can I be willing to leave!
"So, kid, where is your bracelet with the girl just now?"
"Yes."
"Get it back!" Grandpa said categorically.
"Thank you, Grandpa! I want to be alone. ”
"Child, the Meng Group is still waiting for you to go back and inherit. Each group of nuclear stars exists to find the possibility of the planet's continued existence. And if you can freely travel to and from other planets, you are the Chosen One. You, take care of the big picture! With that, the light vanished......
Meng Zhen was the only one left in the empty room, and he looked so helpless holding his head at the moment......
On the other side, Xiaomeng was still admiring her bracelet in front of the mirror: "It's really amazing!" Is this bracelet really given to me by Mr. Meng? Why did he give it to me? Why can you grow taller by wearing a bracelet? Is there something else that can be fulfilled? ”
Xiaomeng had all kinds of conjectures, but she was really happy: "I really have to ask Mr. Meng when I find a time!" ”
Suddenly, Xiaoda's voice came: "Sister, I'll go out." ”
"It's so late, where are you going?" No response.
"Eh, this kid, what are you doing out now, don't you want me to accompany you? Grown up? God, really grew up, did my good fortune begin? ”
Xiao Meng looked at the bracelet again, very satisfied and happy, holding her bracelet and slowly falling asleep......
After Meng falls asleep, the bracelet stops releasing its abilities. Meng Zhen seemed to feel that his arm had regained some strength. He suddenly wanted to see Xiao Meng, and with a snap of his fingers, he came to Xiao Meng.
Looking at Xiao Meng who was sleeping with a smile in front of him, Meng Zhen was very moved, and reached out to comb the broken hair on Xiao Meng's forehead. looked at Xiaomeng's bracelet again, reached out and touched it, she held it so tightly when she fell asleep, she should cherish this bracelet very much. Xiao Meng seemed to feel something and suddenly opened her eyes, Meng Zhen was startled and thought she was awake, and her hands were frozen in the air.
"Hmm~, don't take my bracelet." After Xiao Meng finished speaking, she tightened the bracelet and fell asleep.
Seeing Xiaomeng close her eyes and fall asleep again, Meng Zhen let out a long breath. Then he touched Xiaomeng's head, as if he had made a decision: "Sleep in peace, no one will take away your bracelet, no one will take away your dreams!" ”
