01

I am an orphan.

For as long as I can remember, I've lived in an orphanage.

But the dean's grandmother told me that I was only sent when I was three years old, and that my grandmother, who was dependent on me, died, and I wandered ignorantly and was discovered by the government.

It is said that even the lord of the castle broke out in a cold sweat that day.

According to the laws of the Empire, he was guilty of no small fault.

The city I'm in is not very big, so naturally the finances are not too rich.

But it doesn't matter, the orphanage is not funded locally, but run by a special fund.

When I was five years old, a group of well-dressed people arrived at the orphanage, riding in a car with a phoenix logo.

They saw all the children, and I was in the middle.

I remember when I walked in, there were three people, two men and one woman, and I don't remember what they looked like.

The gentle woman soothed my emotions and then asked me many questions.

For example, have you ever been beaten, have you ever been scolded by someone a lot, have you ever done something strange to me?

Finally the woman left the house, I stripped naked, and they wrote something in the notebook.

Later, I found out that they were recording whether there were any marks of abuse on my body, such as scars and needle holes.

These people are in my memory, once a year.

They actually came before they were five years old, but I don't remember.

The director of the orphanage where I am located is a very nice person, and I am very happy living here.

These memories came to an abrupt end when I was seven years old when I was adopted.

I remember the day when the dean told me that a couple of parents wanted to come and see me, I knew what they wanted to do, and that I was not the only adopted child in this orphanage.

I'm good-looking, quiet and untroublesome, always clean, and I've had some barren parents come to adopt children, and I'm the most popular one.

But I refused, I was very happy in the orphanage, I didn't want to change the environment, the rescue society and the government would take care of me until I became an adult, and I didn't have the pressure to survive.

"Kid, would you like to go home with us?"

I was going to refuse, but when I saw the girl holding the doll hiding behind them, I agreed to their request.

That girl was my friend, outside the orphanage, the only friend.

02

My adoptive father was a businessman and my adoptive mother was a doctor, and the family was relatively wealthy.

If it weren't for such a family, it would be difficult to adopt a child.

The conditions of orphanages in Los Angeles are not bad, so families who want to adopt children are more demanding.

The most important thing is that the dean, the government, and the adopter need to be present at the same time, and I have to agree to confirm the adoption.

The reason why I will be adopted is simple, I saved their only daughter, my current sister, by chance.

I feel like I'm just helping my friends, but the adults feel like it's a great favor and even saving their families.

After learning about my situation, they thought I was a kind and good boy and soon decided to adopt me.

So from that year on, the people who visited me every year became government officials.

I love this new home, it's bigger and more spacious than the orphanage, but most importantly, there's more food here, I'm a kid, it's in my nature.

I've never spoken to anyone and I love the atmosphere of this home, like colorful bubbles blowing in a clear sky.

Mom and Dad are very good to me, they love my sister very much, they are grateful to me, I am very obedient and well-behaved, I never make mistakes, and a child like me will be liked even if I see it on the street.

The most important thing is that my sister is very well-behaved, which is the reason why she used to be my friend, and I like her very much.

When I was seven years old, I went to elementary school, and with my sister, children are the kindest and most lovely creatures in the world, and at the same time the most vicious and terrifying creatures.

I'm a transfer student who suddenly appeared, and my sister is a very popular little princess, which caused me a lot of trouble.

The government and the school tried to prevent me from being affected because of my orphanage, but this kind of thing was inevitable.

My sister and those naïve elementary school students said loudly: "You don't have parents, my brother's parents are my parents." ”

Eventually, my sister and I transferred to a school where no one knew us, and everyone thought we were siblings.

In the old school, three student lectures were held, and the officials of the school gave educational lectures to all teachers and students.

Troublesome students receive eighteen hours of psychoeducation, each of which is accompanied by an examination report.

Uphold the moral concept that the son does not teach, and the father is guilty.

The student's parents, as guardians, were sentenced to 48 hours of compulsory labor and were recorded for failing to do so.

This is a serious charge, and if the score is too low, the child will be deprived of guardianship and the child will be sent to a government-designated agency.

There is no exam when you have a baby, but after you are born, there will really be an exam.

With a land area of 30 million square kilometers and only 600 million people, the state will protect every kind child.

03

I went through the uneventful elementary school years, and from the beginning of school, I showed a high level of talent, and I was able to learn many other skills at the same time, such as calligraphy, music theory, etc., almost every one of which I was much better than my sister, and I could even act as a tutor for her.

My parents couldn't stop praising me, I became their pride, every teacher liked me, the principal asked me to skip a grade, but I didn't want to, because my sister always opened her big bright eyes, applauded happily, and smiled sweetly: "My brother is so good, I like my brother the most." ”

I seem to have been born different from many people, I have no obsession with the full score in the exam, I don't care about the success or failure of the test, the first place is lost, it doesn't matter, I just want to grow up quietly, and always be safe.

In the six years of elementary school, people from the government came every year for the first two years, and then as I grew up, it became once every two years, and I was very happy in my new family, and my adoptive parents were filled in the grading form with excellent, so the number of appearances in the government became less and less.

When I graduated from elementary school, I took the exam for a six-year aristocratic high school, and my sister naturally couldn't pass the exam, and my father directly paid her a large amount of tuition.

With the expectation of the whole family, I passed the test with ease.

My sister cheered me loudly, wearing that foreign fluffy princess dress, but she wore the crown on my birthday cake.

Mom and Dad laughed heartily, my tuition was free, so they bought me a fund run by the Luo Clan for all the money they had saved, and I could withdraw it all after I turned eighteen.

My father said that I should save all the scholarship and that he should pay for my life when I had not yet started a family, which was my father's wish.

My father and I looked at each other, my mother looked at me gently, I smiled and nodded, this is my family, I am no longer an orphan, I have my father and mother.

When I was in middle school, the government only came once when I got the Junior Talent Scholarship, and they disappeared from my life, and it was the school that started to contact me.

The Faculty is a very special department of the Empire, which is split from the Ministry of Rites and is in charge of education, as well as various personnel related to education, such as students like me who have special family circumstances and excellent academic performance.

From a young age, the Faculty will start to pay attention, and if I enter a higher education institution and still do so well, I will enter the Faculty Elite Pool, and the benefits are numerous.

The Faculty is also in charge of financial transactions related to education, such as the numerous scholarships in the Empire, and the Faculty will probably be the government office with which I will deal the most for the next decade or so.

With the development of puberty, my sister is like a budding spring branch, more and more watery, she was a little princess of the stars in elementary school, her skin is as white as snow, her eyes seem to be able to speak, and she sparkles at the school party.

I don't know how many people like her, but I can often find love letters in her drawer.

The ignorant love of adolescence has been put on the screen countless times, and the school and parents have never forbade it, I just calmly asked: "Do you need to throw these away?" ”

She is no longer a child and has the right to decide her own things.

She was always smiling, dangling a pair of small feet in delicate embroidered shoes, and said, "Brother throw them away, so I don't want to fall in love."

Where's your love letter, brother? ”

I stretched out my hand and pointed to the trash can behind me, and said lightly: "It's all there, love will only affect my studies." ”

Well, she's still a child, she doesn't know what love is, and these things shouldn't pollute her.

I know love very well, it is a kind of delusion that occurs when dopamine is secreted, and human beings call it love, and I don't care about this kind of thing.

The three years of junior high school are still uneventful, and I am still at the top of this best secondary school in the province, and I am used to it.

In the third year, the school organized a vacation trip for us, and it was a wonderful trip, we chartered a flight to the province of Dong Nikchi, where many of the houses are traditional wooden because of the geography, and then we took a boat all the way through the provinces and mansions to the three major provinces of Nanyang.

There was a great feast going on, and I met a woman with a stigma carved on her eyebrows, she was so beautiful, the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life.

My sister amazed me and said, "Brother, she's so beautiful, even more beautiful than my mother." ”

Seeing our group of students looking at her, she waved her hand and smiled at us, and there was another exclamation, I rubbed my sister's little brain and said softly: "Mom is the most beautiful woman in the world." ”

Later, I learned that the woman of the Luo family was a real princess, the governor of Nanyang, and in the years when the royal family was hidden, only a few children would appear in front of the stage.

Legend has it that they were all secretly watching the imperial officials' every move.

05

When I went to high school, I thought that the government would send someone to visit me, just like I did when I was in junior high school.

But no, it seems that I have completely left the attention of the government.

Probably the biggest difference when I went to high school was that I got three scholarships, in addition to the Imperial Talent Award, the Royal Qingyun Award, and the scholarship from the local government.

As a private school, why don't you have internal scholarships, all of them are official scholarships?

In other countries around the world, there are scholarships offered by schools.

This brings us to a decree of the Empire, the "Law on the Prohibition of Personal Charity".

Yes, in this day and age, acts of charity by individuals are forbidden.

Engaging in charity will naturally not be punished, but it will be stopped, and if charity is still carried out after the stop, then it will be fined.

The reason for this provision depends on a major case a hundred years ago, which caused a great ideological turmoil.

Whether the recipient can maintain his or her independence in the face of the donor.

Grace is as heavy as a mountain, grace is as deep as the sea, and grace is repaid by kindness, which is an idea that has been handed down since ancient times.

When one person is another benefactor, how to maintain equal status, especially those donors who are already far superior in social status to the recipient.

It is too inappropriate that just because of a short-term difficulty, you may be suppressed for the rest of your life.

As a result, such individual-to-individual donations were completely cut off under the decree.

In the Empire, there was a tax on certain groups of people and organizations, called the "Charity Tax," which was earmarked for people or organizations that received donations due to unforeseen needs.

An orphanage is one of them.

If the people must thank one person, then they should be grateful for the abstract existence of the state.

My high school years were still as uneventful as my past ten years.

I still study the amazing arts and sports, but I rarely show them, only my academic performance, and I don't want to do the main character's point control.

So I always hung at the top of that list.

My life is ordinary.

My sister is very unusual, her academic performance is neither crane tail, nor excellent, very decent, but compared to her popularity in school, this achievement is a little unmatched.

She's still popular among boys, but what makes me wonder is that she's just as popular among girls.

Since her sophomore year of high school, something has been wrong with her, she is always mysterious, whispering with her good friends, and when her mother asks her what happened, she always prevaricates and doesn't speak.

This made Mom and Dad very worried, thinking that my sister's youthful rebellious period had finally arrived.

So one afternoon, they found me, and my father was very worried and said, "Son, my sister has listened to you since she was a child, and now she doesn't tell us anything, do you know what is wrong with her lately?" ”

I put down the book in my hand, recalled my sister's movements, and said softly: "Mom and Dad, I don't think you need to worry too much now, Ling'er will come home before eight o'clock every night, and she is only in my sight for two hours between six and eight o'clock in the afternoon."

According to my understanding, she was basically at her best friend's house for the past two hours, and she didn't go to an occasion that she shouldn't have been.

If there is something wrong, I will tell you, Ling'er is a very sensible child, you don't have to worry too much. ”

I decided to go talk to her best friend.

A simple girl in high school, it's easy to cliché, and I've always been cold, and in the eyes of many people, it's a little unapproachable, and my sister's best friend may be afraid of me, and after I was slightly scared, it was like pouring beans, telling me everything I could and couldn't say.

The outcome of the conversation was somewhat unexpected, and my sister had someone she liked.

It turned out to be a spring heart, I nodded slightly, the eldest girl who is already seventeen years old, will reach the legal age of marriage in another year, which is not a big deal.

The only thing that surprised me was that I didn't even observe who she liked, and I was a little curious that she hadn't been particularly close to any boy in my memory.

When I went home, I told my parents about it, and my parents breathed a sigh of relief and said to me with a smile: "You still have a way, now we can rest assured, the person Ling'er likes, we have a little clue, should be a very reliable person." ”

I didn't care about this matter, but I asked casually, "Then it seems that the character is not bad?" My parents thought it was good, so I went to practice first. ”

In the corner I don't know, my sister is criticizing her best friend, and her face is full of social death, until her best friend says loudly: "I didn't say it all!" ”

My sister's face was relieved.

06

Before high school ended, I was admitted to Luoyang University, one of the best universities in Luoyang, because I won too many scholarships.

From the advent of King Su to the present history of more than 3,000 years, Luoyang has been the capital for more than 2,000 years, and it is worthy of the name of the first capital in the world.

As for the back in line, Chang'an, the capital of the two prosperous unified dynasties, and the rest of the small separatist capitals are further back.

My sister's academic performance can't go to Luoyang University, these top universities rely entirely on the results of cultural classes to get in, and the rest of the sports and hobbies are useless.

The two of us have been classmates since elementary school, but now it seems that we have to separate.

My sister was happy for me, but tears flowed behind her back and said: "Brother, you went to Luoyang University, you must be careful, I heard that there are many bad women there, you have never been in love, don't be deceived, if you don't understand anything, come and ask me, I am experienced, and I will be able to guide you to find true love." ”

I, who have always been calm and light-hearted, was broken by her words, and couldn't help laughing: "Mom and Dad said they know who you like, but I haven't met your little boyfriend, and your rich experience is from him?" ”

My sister was stupid and said in disbelief: "When did I fall in love?" How did I not know it myself? ”

I frowned, feeling as if I had misunderstood something, but I didn't pay much attention to it, and asked, "Since you haven't talked about it yourself, how can you help me?" ”

My sister wrinkled her nose and snorted: "I have a lot of experience in identifying green tea, anyway, brother, if there are girls around you who are close to you for other purposes, you have to tell me, okay." ”

I touched her head and said softly: "Actually, I don't care about Luoyang University, I have no ambitions in my life, I just want my parents and you to be safe and happy."

I can enroll in your school if you want. ”

My sister was very moved when she heard this, but her head shook like a drum and said, "I can't hold you back for my brother, if you really go to college with me, my mother will definitely spank me." ”

Mom and Dad listened to our brother and sister talking, and Mom looked helplessly as if she was still a sister who hadn't grown up.

Dad patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense, how can a man be unambitious, when you finish your studies, Dad will hand over the company to you to take care of."

Although you are not your father's biological son, you will have half of the family property in the future. ”

Having such parents, in this world, is enough to be fulfilled.

The younger sister eventually enrolled in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, which is located next to Luoyang University and is one of the highest art palaces in Luoyang.

07

Luoyang University is very unusual, and it is said that its predecessor was Taixue, which was established in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but several other top universities also say the same.

In today's world, Luoyang University has the world's first-class laboratory, no matter which discipline is the world's top level, I have seen an endless stream of geniuses for the first time in my life, and I have finally met those close branches of the Luo royal family.

In my eyes, these people are quite low-key, they hardly make their own statements, just do things silently, the teacher once said that the person with the highest voice will take away all the attention, these people are deliberately so.

I have a good friend of Rock's who answers this question for me, and the one with a louder voice will get more resources, and he will also get fame and prestige and aura.

But Rocky has reached the pinnacle of everything, in this world, Rocky will only be fairer than everyone else, there is no need to make a sound, as long as you do it steadily, those things will naturally fall on them.

I understood this, and then asked my friend why he was telling me these things, and he said it was because I didn't care about these things.

Yes.

I don't care.

I am a well-known eccentric among the students and teachers of Luoyang University, I am not discouraged, and even my grades in the major can still remain in the middle, even among the geniuses, I am not the worse one, but I am not as hard as others, aggressive, they think I am free and easy, and I want nothing.

My sister often came to my school, and when she saw that I was always alone, she teased, "Brother, I think you're going to be lonely for the rest of your life." ”

I gently tilted her head with a book, and said angrily: "It's not big, it's not small." ”

I miss my well-behaved and obedient sister when I was a child, but now this one is really too naughty, and the more I grow up, the naughty I become, which I didn't expect.

My sister said that I was a piece of wood, and my friend said that I was a piece of wood, and I was angry and said: "Wood can't solve the problem, if you turn a problem from a book, there is nothing I can't do." ”

08

I'm really a piece of wood.

It turned out that I was really not good at everything, and I looked up at the sky as I looked at my parents who were laughing and my sister who was holding my arm.

Turns out that only I don't know?

I am a top student of Luoyang University, I live in a small city, from the moment I went to university, I entered the city's Qingyun library, after graduation, I can directly choose any government department with a position for training.

But I didn't choose to go into the local government, and my dad didn't let me take over his company, because he knew I didn't want to do it.

My friend of Rock's introduced me to Widowhood and Loneliness, and I became the head of a big fund, and in a sense I was doing things for Rock's.

Probably one of the most rewarding things in my life was that I was finally eligible to pay charity taxes after my income increased dramatically, and for the first time in my life, I felt that I had to do something.

That is to let more children like me be able to go to society physically and mentally healthy, and I may not meet parents like me, but a more perfect system will definitely make most children live a better life.

09

My sister is not as stupid as I imagined, at least in the work of the rescue society, she is meticulous and empathetic, always aware of subtle problems, and has given me a lot of help.

My friends of the Luo clan have a lot of backers, even within the Luo clan, they belong to the very powerful kind, they prostrate in front of the head of the Luo family, but outside of the Luo clan, each of them is powerful.

I had this level of relationship, and every achievement was able to be turned into help, and I soon rose through the relief society, and more and more foundations were in charge of me.

The scope of these foundations is very wide, and as far away as Australia, I became very busy, and I didn't even get back after my sister gave birth.

My sister has regained her youthful well-behavedness, or she has never changed, she is the most beautiful woman in the world except for her mother.

I like the quiet life I have now, and I don't always look at those survey reports at headquarters.

I also took my sister to the orphanage to see the children, to see their psychological condition, to see if something bad had happened to them.

I went back to the orphanage where I had lived for several years, and when I met my grandmother, she was very old, but she still recognized me when she saw me, and she was happy to hold my hand.

I smiled and responded, and when we were talking, there were several cars with phoenix logos outside the door, and a few people walked down from the car, led by a young woman, somewhat familiar, she saw me, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly came over to say hello to me.

I told her that I had come out of this orphanage, and of course she knew that her mother was the one who came to inquire about me when I was five years old.

That's an excellent psychologist.

My mother and I didn't see each other very often when we were young and young, and now that her mother is retired, she's on that path.

It was also in this city that when she saw me, I was no longer the little boy her mother had seen.

In the eyes of many, I am now a man of power.

This is her chance, and her future achievements may be greater than her mother's, as long as she always maintains the current warm heart.
