Chapter 172: Jumping Sunshine (2)

The boy walked along the road without a hurry, a happy smile on his face. He pulled his phone out of his coat pocket, and a girl's smiling face appeared on the screen when he was awakened.

"Xiao Jie......" The boy looked greedily at the photo on his phone, his fingers rubbing the screen.

The girl in the photo has a pair of clear and bright eyes, curved willow eyebrows, fair skin with a faint red pink, and thin lips as delicate as petals.

What a beautiful girl, Star Swirl sighed, but she couldn't associate a girl with the boy in front of her.

The glow in the sky faded from crimson to crimson, and crimson to light red.

Finally, when all these colors were gone, the sky, which suddenly seemed high and far away, took on a solemn look.

The boy walks into an apartment building and eventually stops in front of a door. He reconfirmed that the medicine prescribed by Mr. X had been hidden in the deepest part of his bag before taking out the key to unlock it.

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and when she heard this movement, a woman's voice immediately came from the house: "Wen Yao, why did you come back so late?" ”

The boy did not answer, but silently went back to his room alone. Closing the door, he turned on the computer on his desk, his fingers tapping on the keyboard and mouse.

The lights in the room were dimmed, except for the faint blue glow of the computer screen.

The boy was importing the photos from his mobile phone into the computer, his eyes resting on one of them, his hands suddenly trembling, and his complicated eyes were constantly intertwined with pain, anger and helplessness.

In addition to the girl named "Xiaojie" in the photo, there is also a boy with sharp edges and heroic features. The eyes of the two people looking at each other were full of love, and they were obviously a couple.

From the perspective of appearance alone, the two in the photo do look very compatible.

At this time, the knuckles holding the mouse were slightly white. On the computer screen, Wen Yao was using retouching software to trim the boy little by little, until only Xiao Jie was left in the photo, Wen Yao clicked the save button with satisfaction.

"Wen Yao, it's time to eat." There was an urging behind him.

Star Swirl looked back, stunned, the woman standing in the doorway was pale, her eyes staring at the computer screen in the room, and she didn't know how long she had been standing there.

"Got it." Wen Yao responded calmly, but his body did not move.

"It's going to be cold." The woman continued to urge.

I don't know if it's because Wen Yao didn't move, or because of his mother's repeated urging, Star Swirl felt inexplicably anxious.

The air in the room was a little tense, and the woman gritted her teeth, as if she was about to burst out in the next moment.

Wen Yao finally stood up, moved towards the door, returned to a peaceful smile on his face, and asked, "Mom, what did you do tonight?" ”

"Didn't you always say you wanted to drink chicken soup, I went to the market today to buy freshly slaughtered live chickens......" The woman chattered endlessly about the process of her hard cooking, but Wen Yao didn't listen to a word.

There was a bowl of steaming chicken soup and a few plates of home-cooked food on the dining table, and Wen Yao sat down on the chair, staring at the rising heat in a daze.

"Eat it." The woman said, as if only giving the command to urge would trigger the boy's action.

Wen Yao mechanically picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup to his lips, took a sip and said, "Well, it's delicious." ”

"By the way, Wen Yao, your teacher Chen called me today." The woman said.

The spoon in the boy's hand paused, and his eyes immediately dimmed.

The woman continued: "Teacher Chen said that you asked her for leave again today, saying that she was not feeling well and stayed in the school doctor's office all afternoon. ”

"Tell your mother about it, are you really unwell?" The woman asked, looking at the boy with reproach in her eyes.

"I ...... It hurts," the boy said with his head in his hands, a pained look on his face, "it hurts." ”

"Last time, you also said that you had a headache, and you went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was fine." The woman asked, "Are you doing this to avoid studying?" ”

The boy did not reply, and with no appetite for dinner, he abruptly stood up and walked towards the room, looking numb.

The woman sighed, tears welling up in her eyes, and after calming down a little, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, when are you coming back?" Immediately after the phone was connected, the woman asked.

Star Swirl couldn't hear the answer from the other side, only a moment of loss and pain on the woman's face. According to Wen Yao, he has been dependent on his mother for his life, so who will be the person on the other end of the phone?

It was dark outside the window, and a woman appeared at the door of the room, and after a while, she asked, "I see you didn't eat much for dinner, do you want to eat a little now?" ”

"Okay." Wen Yao agreed, but never looked back.

The woman walked into the room, put a bowl of chicken noodle soup on the desk, and tried to say anything more, but finally stopped.

The walls of the room were plastered with various tables on the progress of the study, and the workbooks and tutorials were piled up like a hill.

The boy's head was lowered, as if he was submerged in it, and did not react to his mother, who was standing nearby.

It wasn't until the woman closed the door and went out that the boy's numb expression changed. The beautiful face on the illuminated computer screen was once again revealed, like the only light in the middle of the night.

"return" Star Swirl enters the password and returns to the psychiatric clinic.

This time, it was rare not to see Mr. X waiting for her in the room. After looking around, I didn't see him, so it's so late, where will he go?

The room was silent, and Star Swirl was a little lost. In this strange time and space, it seems as if she and Mr. X are the only ones left with each other, and although the distance between the two is much closer than before, Star Swirl still feels lonely from time to time, and misses her former family and friends.

"relive" Star Swirl awakens the AI Lucky and wants to chat with her.

"Good evening, Star Swirl." Le Qi said with a smile.

"Good evening, Lotchy......" Star Swirl didn't know where to start.

"Do you have anything on your mind?" Lucky asked.

"You can see this, it's very powerful." Star Swirl smiled wryly.

"AI can tell people's emotions and thoughts through their micro-expressions." Lucky replied.

"Micro-expressions? Why didn't Mr. Deer mention that you still have such a powerful function before? Star Swirl was surprised.

"The person who created me is not Mr. Deer, so he is not aware of some of my functions, which is also normal."

"I have something I want to ask you."

"You're welcome, please."

"I want you to see if he's hiding anything from me by looking at Mr. X's micro-expressions."

"I'm sorry, but Mr. X isn't in my observations."
