Chapter 6: He's Not Jonny
The second time he tasted the smiley pancakes, Jonny had already begun to love the taste, the rich, creamy and smooth texture, and the delicious hard nuts in it, which could surprise his lips and teeth.
But halfway through today's meal, Jonny put down the sensor cutlery, and as soon as the cutlery left his fingers, the flexible beam bokeh fork disappeared and shrunk into a cylindrical shape.
Jonny stared down at the table, afraid to look up at his mother, who hesitated, wondering if he wanted to speak his mind now.
Joanna finally saw the clue, she put down the flexible beam plate in her hand that was watching the show, and looked at her son's pale blonde hair hanging down in confusion.
"What's wrong, baby? Didn't you sleep well last night? She asked with concern.
Jonny was silent, his fingers tapping lightly on the edge of the table.
"Is the scene generator broken? Jonny, how many times has Mom told you, those are all illusions projected indoors, gadgets used to spice up the mood, you don't have to try to find those voices and figures every time, they don't exist. ”
Joanna sighed and shook the beam plate in her hand, the board that was projecting the show suddenly disappeared under her shaking, like sprinkling the flying powder of the elf, emitting a golden light.
"This time, mom is not in a hurry to call someone to fix it, your dad may have finally said it right in this matter, the simpler the room is, the better, you have slept too unsteadily in the past two days, and I think it's good if that thing is broken." She pursed her lips and looked at her son through the gap in the moving image of the newspaper, and secretly laughed in her heart.
The scene generator or whatever, that's what Jonny doesn't care about the most right now, and it's something interesting, and he's been fiddling with it since he got back from school these days.
He had experienced all fourteen of the various built-in scenes, but to Jonny, who was no stranger now, it was nothing more than a larger aquarium and a constant curtain change.
"I ...... I think...... I want to go to a 'normal' school. Jonny shuddered and tried to speak in the tone of this world.
The holo-projection device in Joanna's hand fell on the table with a gratling sound.
"You...... Normal school? Mother was taken aback by him.
"Baby, let's talk about it." She was used to her son not being able to say a few words a year, but she had never heard him ask for anything.
"The Charleston Enhancement Center is an excellent school, and the hardware conditions are also first-class in the field of Wenzhicheng, and his faculty is particularly strong, most of the teachers graduated from famous colleges and universities in the thirteen metropolises, and several of them are from the normal college of the double school." Joanna explained to him in a complicated mood how this kid actually ......
Seeing that her son was still with his head down, he didn't seem to understand this, so Joanna had no choice but to say: "All we have to do is to improve for another one or two years, and after getting the corresponding credits, we can naturally apply to places like New City Junior High School or Baierry Newton Preparatory High School." ”
"Good baby, don't have bad thoughts, Charleston Center has always been just a transition." She patted her son on the shoulder.
"We'll apply to the school you want, and they're not resistant to kind, polite, and credit-bearing applicants......" Joanna laughed.
Jonny didn't laugh or speak, just kept his head down and ate his smiley pancake.
For some time after that, the mother and son never mentioned this topic again, and then the situation changed dramatically shortly after.
On this afternoon of the day, the head of Charleston's teaching department, Vio Brown. Charleston suddenly calls Joanna and asks her mother to take her child to school, but Charleston doesn't mention anything on the phone, other than that it has something to do with Jony's recent behavior.
Joanna hurried to the center, uneasy, wondering what the big mistake had been made by this precious son who had been immersed in his own world and never caused trouble.
In the center's room, Jonny was already sitting with his head bowed. Joanna walked into the inner room and found that not only Director Rudolph, but also the head teacher Xia Xuelian and Teacher Thorne from the behavior modification class were also there.
Rudolph has hair loss on his forehead and a bright brain, and he is the founder of the center. Charleston's great-grandson. The Charleston family had a strong political atmosphere, and several of Rudolph's uncles and cousins ate government meals, one of whom was a member of the city council, and they were a well-known family in Wintz.
"It's our monthly Parent Day again, Ms. Kent." Mr. Rudolph brushed his smooth forehead with his fingers and smiled professionally, but it didn't look annoying.
"I know that the plan was a little ahead of schedule, and that there was only one family scheduled for this interview, but everything was done day by day, as described in the canon of the center, to accept ......," he raised his voice.
"Cihe," he spread his fingers.
"Tolerance, reason, harmony." He clenched his entire fist, shaking slightly in front of him.
"We don't have any meetings scheduled that would upset you and your family, Ms. Kent, and I can assure you at that point." After saying this, Rudolph looked at Joanna with a puzzled expression, and then nodded at Teacher Xia Xuelian.
"Joanna." Teacher Xia, who wears data glasses, and Jonny's mother still have some friendship.
"Jonny this time...... Improvement in learning...... No...... It's a qualitative leap. Xia Xuelian pondered the words that could directly make things easier to understand.
"I don't think he's the Jony ...... he was some time ago," Mr. Xia said categorically.
