At the beginning of the summer camp, Luo Lang immediately sensed the mysterious atmosphere from the unknown world. Like a bloodthirsty coyote, he searches for wounded beasts through the seemingly bloody air. Luo Lang hadn't opened meat for a long time, and the last time was when he was twelve years old, he found out by chance that his adoptive parents were special.

Roland's adoptive father was Eric, a German, who was the chief surgeon of a foreign-owned private hospital in Yanjiang City. Roland's adoptive mother is Connie, a Canadian, who works as a manager in a Sino-foreign joint venture child welfare agency. They adopted a total of four children, including Roland, who was the oldest child in the family at 18 years old, and was adopted by his adoptive parents while working in an orphanage in South America. His two younger sisters and one younger brother were adopted by his adoptive mother at the welfare facility where he now works, and he was about 13 years old. Luo Lang is the only foreign face among the four children in the family, and the only exotic face in the elementary, junior high and high school he has studied in China.

Lorand was so peculiar in appearance that neither the orphanage he spent in Argentina nor his adoptive mother could tell his race: he had dark brown curls common to southern Europeans; the contours of the Nordic face; The skeleton of the African body; Green eyes and honey-colored skin that are not recognizable from the place of origin. He didn't know why, he always suspected that he was of Indian ancestry, but his adoptive mother often comforted him by saying that the genes of earthlings had always been mixed up, and there was no need to find out the roots.

The children in Luo Lang's family are not very close to him, and his classmates at school are quite friendly to him but always a little polite and distant, they all say that his eyes are like cats, and he is pretty, but he is a little infiltrating.

Laurent came to China with his adoptive parents when he was 8 years old, and until then they had been living in Argentina. Laurent was terrified of the chaotic security in Argentina, but he remembered the time when his adoptive parents were the only children. He remembers that his adoptive mother was very busy at that time, but every day before bed, she would find time to teach him English. His adoptive father was a hard resident at the time, but he would take him to play tennis every week off. Soon after arriving in China, the adoptive parents adopted three more disabled children. Luo Lang began to dislike to stay at home, he began to feel that many things were not interesting, except for English lessons and tennis private lessons, only when listening to English and playing tennis, he could go back to the happy time of his adoptive parents alone.

Luo Lang always felt that the adoptive parents had changed a lot after they came to China, they used to be gentle parents and loving couples, and now they are kind philanthropists in the reputation of outsiders, but in Luo Lang's eyes, when they adopted orphans in China, they obviously did not have the kind of careful love when they adopted Luo Lang in Argentina. These two people are like the actresses who bought a few awards at a film festival, and the three disabled children are like trophies enshrined in the most conspicuous place in the living room.

They don't seem to have loved their younger siblings, but have they ever loved me? How many sleepless nights, Luo Lang asked himself in his heart.

As the adoptive children grew older and their adoptive parents became less and less fond of coming home, they hired a retired aunt from the orphanage to take care of Rolang and his siblings. My aunt is very quick at work, but her health is not very good. Once my aunt was sick and hospitalized, and the people in the orphanage asked Luo Lang to visit her with the food they cooked, probably because Luo Lang happened to be about the same height as his adoptive mother at that time, and the aunt took Luo Lang's hand and said: "Connie, I'm too old to be useful, I know what kind of body transformation there is in the welfare home, I know that I am not qualified, but I have worked for the welfare home for so long, and I have no credit and hard work, so you will give me a transformation?" ”

Luo Lang felt inexplicable: "Auntie, it's me, I'm Luo Lang, and my mother is still working." ”

Auntie seemed to be a slightly drunk person who was frightened and suddenly came to her senses: "Luo Lang, you must forget what Auntie just said, you can't tell anyone, not even your parents, believe Auntie!" ”

Luo Lang swore to his aunt that it took a long time to get out of the hospital bed, and within a few days, he heard that his aunt was seriously ill and died.

This aunt is usually a steady and kind person, and Luo Lang has no feelings for her, but thinking of the aunt's simplicity and directness, and comparing with the unfathomable adoptive parents, Luo Lang inexplicably feels that the aunt is more credible than the adoptive parents.

Luo Lang began to silently observe the adoptive parents: since the aunt mentioned body modification, then focus on observing their bodies. Soon Rorent discovers that although there are some gym equipment at home, Eric and Connie never exercise, but their bodies remain as slim and strong as they were when they were young, no! In fact, unconsciously, they were more physically fit than Rolland remembered—Eric occasionally drank Rolland to play tennis, and Rolland felt he played better than he did in Argentina; Roland also found something that had nothing to do with body modification - there were many books in the house, but only children could read them, Eric and Connie never read them, but they were always so knowledgeable, and their knowledge was updated quickly, and Rorent began to suspect that not only the body could be modified, but also the brain. In the process of secretly observing the adoptive parents, Luo Lang felt that the most terrifying discovery was that they never used the Internet at home or at work, but they would obviously say to others when they called, "I will check E-mail tonight" or "I saw XXX on the XX network just now".

Laurent felt that he needed more information to confirm, and he thought that his younger siblings could be helpers, but when he tried to reveal a little of his thoughts to them, the younger siblings felt that he had watched too many cartoons and was unreasonable.

Although Luo Lang did not dare to make further moves, in the past few years, he has patiently tracked the social accounts of orphans and patients in his adoptive mother's welfare home and his adoptive father's hospital on the Internet, and he gradually began to feel that this is a big event - the orphans and patients in these two hospitals have developed so well after they go out, some are officials, some are CEOs, some are athletes, celebrities, and university professors - it is hard not to believe that the success rate is so high that people can't believe that it is not an additional fertilizer.

Now in the face of Lin π ke's abnormal behavior, the mystery in Luo Lang's heart is as chaotic as the feeling of facing the familiar and unfamiliar adoptive parents at the beginning.

???

On the plane to Europe, he heard Lin π Ke and Shi Qingyue whispering all night about whether the world was an online game, and it seemed that there were big plans for them to run from the game to reality. There are actually a lot of secondary two teenagers who think like this, and Luo Lang himself has thought about it again, but the teenagers are all enthusiastic, ridiculous and self-deprecating when they talk about such topics, and they have never seen such a dignified look, not to mention, this is the original two people who snored on the pillow and could sleep standing when they were sleepy, why did such a seemingly ordinary topic have to be talked about all night? And it's sneaky and waiting for everyone to fall asleep.

???? It was a question that could have been asked on the plane, but Laurent felt that no matter what Lin π answered, it would be meaningless to him, because he had never learned to trust others, even though Lin π was the most trustworthy of all the people he knew.

In the fall when he first entered Beiyuan High School, Luo Lang met Lin π on the school tennis team.

Rolland played tennis very well, as it was the only sport he occasionally took his adoptive father, who often left him away from home on weekends. He never liked his adoptive father, but he fell in love with tennis.

Lin π ke's father is a physical education teacher at Beiyuan High School, and also serves as a tennis coach, he was very happy to see Luo Lang's tennis play well, he told Luo Lang that his son Lin π Ke also played good tennis, but he had never met an opponent in school since elementary school, and he felt very bored and didn't want to join the tennis team. Dad Lin suggested that Luo Lang and Lin π find a time to fight.

Luo Lang was naturally competitive, and when he heard that the other party was a master, he worked overtime to train himself. In the end, when it was time to compete, I found that the strength of the two was really close, but because Luo Lang practiced diligently, Lin π Ke neglected to train, and in the end, Luo Lang won the game. Lin π Ke looked happy to meet his opponent with a look of joy at all, and he didn't seem to mind losing at all.

Luo Lang thought that Lin π Ke was pretending to be chic, but later found that he was very similar to Coach Lin, both of whom were warm and friendly and not very jealous.

Although Luo Lang is used to being alone, he often can't bear Lin π's warm invitation and plays tennis courts all over the city. They don't like to play at school very much, because the two of them have a group of fan girls, and when the fan girls come to watch, the irrepressible hormones in the stadium look at the teachers and teachers harshly, making the atmosphere extremely embarrassing. But when they went to play tennis outside the school, there was always a fan girl sitting in the audience-Si Chenxin. She is Luo Lang's fan sister, and she can always get information about where they play from Lin π Ke through Lu Haoyue's connections. Sometimes Lu Haoyue would also come with Si Chenxin, and the two oil bottles made Luo Lang upset.

Protesting with Lin π, Lin π spread his hands: "Everyone else and girls are working so hard, how can I bear to refuse?" ”

Luo Lang gradually got used to Si Chenxin's existence, and later even developed to the extent that once Si Chenxin didn't come, he would lose to Lin π.

Lin π laughed at him: "A cold-hearted lone ranger like you will always be familiar with me and Chenxin in the end." ”

"What, you think I'm hot?" Luo Lang was shocked: "I am a very cold person, I have never liked others, and others do not like me very much. ”

"But you take care of your boots and rackets, and you open the locker room door with your feet." Lin π Ke said: "You are so gentle with lifeless things, and you certainly have no ill will towards people. If you think you don't like human beings a little, it's probably because you grew up in China with a foreign face, and everyone thinks you're alienated, and you're alienated from other people, right? ”

Luo Lang's heart was really hot, his facial features were sharp and aggressive, so that when he ignored others in the past, occasionally people said that he was arrogant behind his back, and even felt that he discriminated against Chinese. He felt wronged - he grew up here, ate here, said here, except for his appearance, there is no difference between other places and Chinese, and besides, although he has a strange personality, he is sober-minded, and it is impossible to discriminate against one-fifth of the human beings on this earth.

Kitahara High School was his blessed land, where he made good friends for the first time and a girlfriend for the first time.

Si Chenxin is the most beautiful girl Luo Lang has ever seen and has never seen. She is one level lower than Luo Lang, as soon as she entered the school, when the boys in the school just knew that there was a big beauty in the new students, she found Luo Lang, the handsome tennis prince senior, and immediately began to take action. At first, Luo Lang was disgusted with being watched by Si Chenxin, because she could interfere with his ball sense too much, but after her year-long persistence, Luo Lang could only get used to playing with this interfered ball sense, and could never go back to his previous state.

"Why do you like me?" Luo Lang asked Si Chenxin: "Is it because I am handsome, or because I play well?" ”

"How can you say it so narcissistically!" Si Chenxin smiled and trembled: "I like you, not for any special reason, I just can't help but like you!" ”

"If a lot of people don't like me, why do they?" Luo Lang asked.

"Everybody has a lot of people who like him and hate him." Si Chenxin put his arms around Luo Lang's neck and said, "You go to such a good school and grow such a strong body, you must have been raised in the palm of your hand by your family like me, don't think about it...... My biggest pain every day is that there are too many girls who have a crush on you! ”

But Luo Lang never stopped thinking about himself for a second, he suspected that if he wasn't a foreigner, Si Chenxin wouldn't like him, otherwise why didn't she like Lin π, who was also handsome and played well in tennis? He also suspects that if he doesn't play tennis well, Lin π Ke will never become good friends with him, he already has Fa Xiaoshi Qingyue and a lot of other friends, in addition to playing tennis well, what is there to make friends with Lin π Ke?

On the first night of staying in the dormitory in Germain, he forcibly stayed in Lin π Ke and Shi Qingyue's room under the pretext that he was not used to living with Du Yu. Luo Lang hugged the computer on the sofa and pretended to play games, and then spied on Lin π and Shi Qingyue when they occasionally used their fingerprints to unlock them unsuccessfully.

Late at night, when the two people fell asleep, Luo Lang got up from the sofa silently, and took their mobile phones to the bathroom twice to look at the chat history, each time putting his mobile phone where they originally put it, in case someone woke up by accident and found it.

Not surprisingly, the thoughtful Shi Qingyue's WeChat chat history is empty, and there is nothing left to see in other social and chat software. Lin π Ke is really a big person, and before going to bed, he promised Shi Qingyue to delete the chat history in WeChat, but he didn't delete it at all, and kept the original for Luo Lang to discover.

Luo Lang read Lin π Ke's chat history, not only roughly deduced what had happened, but also obtained important information that Wu Shiqi would meet with Lin π before they left the blast furnace country.

This has a strong connection with the adoptive parents. Unlike Lin π ke's half-belief, Luo Lang agreed with Chi Xingmang's statement almost instantly, because this perfectly explained the mystery from his adoptive parents that Luo Lang couldn't explain before.

When he put the phone back, he caught a glimpse of Lin π ke's plain face reflecting the white iron-colored moonlight, and Luo Lang sighed in his heart: Such a simple person doesn't trust me, this world is really fake.

Day after day passed, the summer camp was gradually coming to an end, Luo Lang counted his pulse and waited for Wu Shiqi's arrival, he suspected that his mood was more excited than Shi Qingyue and Lin π Ke combined, but he couldn't show it, so he had to hold back his youthful misanthropic poker face.

"What's wrong? You've been very lacking in energy these days. Si Chen asked him with concern: "Is it not adaptable?" ”

"How can you not adapt to the soil?" Luo Lang pinched her nose and said, "I'm a foreigner with a big nose, and I'm used to breathing fresh air!" ”

"You're laughing at me again with a low nose!" Si Chenxin said angrily, with a small mouth and a small upturned nose, it was beautiful.

By the way, do you remember that tomorrow is Lin π Ke's birthday? Si Chen asked in his heart.

Luo Lang was shocked, he had a lot of things on his mind in the past two days, and he completely forgot about it.

Si Chenxin said: "Forget it, you never remember these anyway." It was Wen Di and Lu Haoyue who asked me to ask you: they wanted to hold a birthday party for Lin π ke, but they didn't want to tell him in advance, they wanted to surprise him. What about you, can you lure Lin π away from his and Shi Qingyue's tent for an hour or two after dusk tomorrow? They wanted to set up his tent. ”

Luo Lang quickly thought about it in his heart and asked, "Does Shi Qingyue also need to be led away?" ”

"Whatever, as long as he doesn't leak secrets to Lin π." Si Chenxin said dryly.
