"I think you can be happier. If it were me, I would rather have unknown parents than contract a malignant family genetic disease." On the way back, Charles said.Now they know that Chen Ou has discovered the ins and outs of the truth. Nisi didn't speak all the way, but just hugged Chen Ou tightly, and refused to relax for a while.Chen Ou thought to himself, I frightened the child a lot.
"Yes, in a better place, maybe your biological mother is still alive." Officer Jones said.
This guess made Chen Ou raise his head suddenly: "Why do you say that?"
Officer Jones was uneasy: "I'm just guessing. I saw your father's photo, and no one can deny his blood relationship with you. If you were born a year after his death, well, I guess, maybe it was with some reproductive technology? I don't know, you're the expert."
************************************************** *******************
They went to visit Catherine.Catherine looked at Chen Ou and sighed slightly.
"Ms. Chen's family has a malignant genetic disease. Who would want to pass this disease on to their children? Mrs. Chen told Mr. Chen that she would not have children. Mr. Chen felt that with the development of science, there might be a cure for this genetic disease in the future." technology, but there is a natural limit to the age of female reproduction. They are smart people, so they are going to freeze sperm and eggs."
"Frozen sperm and eggs have a certain failure rate, not as high as the success rate of frozen embryos. They solicited a woman who was willing to provide eggs, and they kept frozen embryos. That way, if they want to have children later, they have at least a few options. Optional."
"I worked with Mrs. Chen for several years, until she died, she did not show the slightest sign of pregnancy. Later, I heard that the professor brought you back, so I understood. The institute has a reproductive technology laboratory , specializing in how to minimize the damage of similar techniques to the human body, especially women. It is impossible for the Chen couple to do related operations without asking the professor for help. He should be the custodian of the frozen embryos of the Chen couple.”
"But why did the professor do that?" Sergeant Jones asked.
Catherine shook her head: "The Chen couple are the professor's most beloved disciples. They died young, but left no children. The professor may have fulfilled the wish of his beloved disciple. After all, they died because of the results of rescuing the research institute Yes. It is reasonable for the professor to want to compensate them."
Chen Ou, Nice, and Charles were silent when they thought of the professor's usual behavior.This is indeed the style of the professor, who does not owe anyone the slightest favor, even to the deceased.
"Can we still find information about the woman who provided the eggs?" Nice asked.
Catherine glanced at him reproachfully, as if wondering that he would ask such a question that lacked common sense: "What she provided was just an egg, and she didn't conceive after ten months, and she didn't experience the nutrition sharing and information sharing between mother and fetus. Communication, don't you think Chen Ou should recognize his mother?"
"Even with frozen embryos, the professor still has to find a surrogate woman to provide the uterus." Charles asked wittily.
Catherine rolled her eyes. "Acquaintance with a woman who has no genetic relationship with you?" she demanded.
The four looked at each other.Constable Jones concluded: "So I hate genes and technology like that, which messes up the most basic human relationships."
"Believe me, even though the direct reason is the professor's self-assertion, you were born because of love." Catherine restrained her playful smile and said solemnly to Chen Ou: "If it wasn't because of cherishing life, Mrs. Chen could have conceived and had children directly. The malignant genetic disease gene is passed on to the child. After the operation, I heard Mrs. Chen look forward to how cute the fetus will be when it grows up more than once. They are eagerly looking forward to your birth."
Chen Ou nodded, this statement made him feel much better, at least now he can go home and face the professor.He asked: "Which one of our research institutes is a laboratory specializing in reproductive technology?" He wanted to go to the site to pay his respects.He spent most of his life in the research institute, but he didn't know that it was the origin of his life.
Catherine gave him a surprised look: "I thought you already knew that it was Wagendi's laboratory, which was originally conducted by the professor. After Wagendi came back, the professor handed over the laboratory to him."
☆、Chapter 35
"His Royal Highness suddenly wants to have breakfast in the bedroom today?" the professor raised his head from the news browser and asked Martin.
Chen Ou and Nice left on Christmas morning and returned home late at night two days later.The next morning, Nice jumped out of the bedroom, went to the kitchen to find a tray, took some milk, cereal, juice, egg, bacon and fruit sandwiches, and went back to the bedroom, before Martin had time to ask him about his whereabouts in the past two days.
Martin placed the freshly squeezed juice on the professor's right hand.The professor is a little lactose intolerant and doesn't drink much milk."Come on Professor, it's Christmas break," he said with a smile.
"You're spoiling the child, Martin," said the professor sternly.
Martin couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Nice in the bedroom also complained to Chen Ou: "The old man speaks ill of me again."
Chen Ou leaned against the head of the bed and peeled off the eggs bit by bit.He was very tired and just wanted to have a good sleep, so he said "no breakfast", which was interpreted by Nice as that he didn't want to go out to face the professor, so he had to face twice the usual breakfast.
Chen Ou fed half an egg to Nice and said with a smile, "He's talking about me."
He recalled, with nostalgia slowly showing on his face, and said: "When I was eight years old, I joined the swimming club. I grew up very quickly, and children's tables and chairs were no longer suitable. The professor took me to buy furniture. At that time, the Institute There are not many results yet, and the funds are stretched, and the professor has to cut expenses again and again, saving limited money for the purchase of experimental materials."
************************************************** ***********************
It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the professor and Chen Ou's apartment in the city to the large furniture supermarket chain "Yuejia". For the professor, it is a bit difficult to walk this distance with crutches, but it is not impossible.It was a bright spring day, and the birds were chirping.So Martin didn't drive, and the three of them walked slowly along the commercial pedestrian street to their destination.
After Chen Ou became an adult, this area became a well-known luxury discount street. There are various first-line brand discount stores on both sides of several cross streets.Countless tourists from home and abroad lined up in front of each store, hoping to get a number plate before closing, enter the crowded store, and buy out-of-season or defective products at a discount of [-] to [-]% off the original price. first-line brand products.
But when Chen Ou was eight years old, this area was just an ordinary commercial pedestrian street, with few tourists, and there were not many local people during working hours on weekdays.The only vehicles on the street are driverless cleaning vans, which make their way back and forth every three to 10 minutes, watering the thriving flower strips and bushes in the middle of the road, while sucking up the occasional confetti core on the ground with a tinkle. Dang sound, reminding nearby passers-by to avoid.
Chen Ou matured precociously. At the age of eight, he already knew from the surrounding discussions that he was not a professor parent-child.What is even more unfortunate is that the professor did not handle the adoption procedures for him, even though he wrote the professor in the "Guardian" column of various forms.From a legal point of view, he has nothing to do with the professor, and the professor can abandon him at any time without any legal and moral responsibilities.Therefore, he has been very well-behaved.
Chen Ou walked through the pedestrian street in an orderly manner, hardly looking at the candy shop and cake shop.Even when the professor asked him if he wanted ice cream, he pursed his lips and shook his head firmly.It was only when he reached the corner antique shop that he stopped, his eyes shining.
There is an ebony writing desk in the shape of lily petals in the window of the antique shop. The top is inlaid with four slender ivory white porcelain plates, which radiate and curl from the center to the surroundings.The four table legs are inlaid with bronze pillars and are carved in the shape of Victory playing a trombone.The shape of the whole table is like four goddesses of victory holding a light lily petal.
The professor walked over panting on crutches, and admired it with him: "The French court style in the [-]th century, the lily is the symbol of the Bourbon dynasty. This craftsmanship and meaning should be the work of the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty."
The shopkeeper who came out smiled, and was satisfied with the affirmation of the experts: "The letter desk of a princess of the Bourbon Dynasty was later entered into a private collection. I took a picture of it a year ago and sent it to the Antique Furniture Research Institute for half a year for restoration. Just put it out."
Chen Ou couldn't hear anything.He was dumbfounded, fascinated by this exquisite antique desk.
Beauty is nothingness and lightness.When the light of a star hundreds of millions of light years away reaches the earth and is observed by humans, its body may have already collapsed into a black hole.Many people feel beauty, but they can't tell what beauty is all their lives.But beauty is real, and it weighs more than ten thousand junctures. Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, it suddenly strikes a fatal blow when ordinary people are unprepared, causing blindness, deafness, and death.Right now, Chen Ou was indeed captured by the god of beauty who turned into a writing desk, and he had no power to resist.
In his eyes, there is nothing about this writing desk that is not beautiful.Majestic bronze pillars, smooth curved carvings, glowing black sandalwood tabletops, and brisk and beautiful porcelain mosaic, she has life and breath, she is calm under their gaze, and graceful and comfortable in the polishing of years.At that time he was not yet learned enough to tell what was so good about its material and workmanship, but a great masterpiece needs no analysis but only worship, just as human beings are moved by starlight without knowing exactly how far it came from.
Chen Ou was a child who rarely expressed his likes and dislikes, neither the professor nor Martin urged him.The three quietly looked at the window for a long time, and after a long time, the shopkeeper greeted him again and politely invited the professor to enter the shop for a rest, then they thanked them and left.
Until arriving at "Yuejia", Chen Ou did not take his thoughts away from the antique writing desk.Martin stood in the busy aisle, shouting at him desperately, telling him to try every desk, and it took him a while to react.
"Yuejia" furniture is mainly aimed at college students who often move and office workers who rent houses. The style is fashionable, the texture is ordinary, and the corners and corners reflect the most important pursuit of the merchants, if not the only one - cost saving.Because of its low price, it is not a pity to be eliminated in one or two years, which is in line with the psychological trend of consumers who love the new and dislike the old, so they are very popular.Many local residents often come to the store to buy, especially for families with underage children. They need to change furniture frequently so that the height of the furniture can adapt to the height of the children.
Chen Ou is often invited to the home of his classmates.Most of the students use "Yuejia" furniture, and Chen Ou is no stranger to various desks.He tried and tried, trying to find the ideal one, but all the desks were almost exactly the same, all of them were cold industrial automation products, crude, stiff, and without texture at all.
This made Chen Ou very uneasy.The professor is responsive to him, so he is even more unwilling to be arrogant.That antique desk sold for enough to furnish the professor and his apartment with a whole Yuet furniture set.When the professor's own bedroom furniture basically comes from "Yuejia", it is very inappropriate to reject "Yuejia" and show his desire for antique desks.
As an orphan, Chen Ou was born with a lack of security and confidence in love.With an IQ that far exceeds the level of his peers, he understands the communication rules of social groups and draws an insurmountable red line of behavior for himself.Right now, the lily ebony writing desk is just outside the red line.At this time, he did not understand that the love of luxury goods has nothing to do with negative psychology such as vanity and greed for enjoyment, but only reflects the pursuit of beauty in the human heart.People who are more sensitive to beauty tend to be less able to tolerate vulgarity.At this time, he only hated himself, why couldn't he just go with the situation like most of the other students and happily accept a piece of simple and affordable "Yuejia" furniture.
Chen Ou was stunned for a while, which made him stand up slowly from a desk.Martin asked, "This one?"
This desk is like no other.But it's meaningless to pick any more, so Chen Ou nodded.
The professor who saw everything in his eyes stopped Martin from going to the cashier to pay.
"I think we can check other stores." The professor said.
In the next two weeks, after school, Chen Ou would often take a detour from school and pass by the entrance of the antique shop, quietly watching the lily-shaped writing desk for a while before leaving.
Two weeks later, the writing desk disappeared, and a rosewood gilt-padded bench chair was replaced in its original place. The ubiquitous golden pink made Chen Ou's eyes hurt.
He returns home unhappy and finds both the professor and Martin waiting for him.Martin looked unhappy, but the professor in the wheelchair looked normal.
He was keenly aware of something, and hastily opened the door of his bedroom, only to find the lily-shaped ebony writing desk standing quietly where the children's desk used to be.
"I used to think that you would go bankrupt because of your research, but now it seems that it is too early to attribute the reasons." When Chen Ou threw himself into the professor's arms and kissed him desperately, Martin said sadly.
************************************************** ********************
"From then on, the professor called me 'His Royal Highness' whenever he was happy, and made fun of me for being fascinated by an antique desk with a strong feminine style. After moving to the current home, the professor's study room just lacked a classical style desk. I gave it to him. He never called me that again." Chen Ou stuffed the remaining half egg into Nice's mouth and said with a smile.
Nice chewed the egg in his mouth hard, as if to vent his unreasonable depression.Chen Ou lowered his head and cut open the bacon on the dinner plate, and stopped talking for now.
Nice finally chose to swallow the egg instead of spit it out angrily, and said reluctantly, "Okay, I forgive him." Because he tried his best to make you feel loved, and because he gave you life on his own initiative, I Forgive him for making you so miserable yesterday.
Chen Ou smiled and speeded up the pace of eating.
Last night he dreamed that he went back to the research institute and pushed open one door after another. All the laboratories were empty, without equipment, materials, or colleagues.Finally, he pushed open a door and discovered that it was Wagundi's laboratory.Wagundy was doing experiments with his back to him, turned around after hearing the sound, and turned into the professor's face.The professor smiled at him and said: "There are not enough materials, what should I do for the experiment?" Then he found himself being lifted onto the bright experimental platform, and he couldn't help but...
Waking up with a start, Chen Ou found Nice lying on his chest, breathing heavily.He habitually pushed Niss aside, listened to Niss snoring slightly, and carefully sorted out the facts that he had investigated during this period of time in his mind.
To be honest, discovering that the professor may have a closer relationship with Wagundi in research than he expected, it is not as shocking as discovering that he was born for another reason.After all, the professor is No. 1 in the field of genetic research, and Chen Ou was not so naive as to think that the professor would restrain his academic interests and not carry out prohibited research.
There should be no restricted areas for scientific research. This is a fact that politicians and the public cannot understand.They believe that scientists should follow the moral boundaries drawn by society and work in circles in an orderly manner.But true scientific research workers know that scientific research is like a big tree with branches stretching wildly in all directions.And the scientist is just an ant on a branch. In order to climb to a branch, he must go through another scar.
Research has its inherent laws, and there are often numerous discoveries that support a result.Arbitrary bans on scientists entering certain fields can delay breakthroughs in adjacent fields.Chen Ou knows better than anyone else the significance of the professor's achievements to genetic science.Therefore, he not only does not believe that the professor has not done prohibited research, but also, because of the professor's outstanding achievements, Chen Ou has reason to believe that the professor has gone deeper into the prohibited field than any of his contemporaries.
He never tested this conjecture to the professor.Scientists have always had a morality that rivals their philosophy of science.Chen Ou felt that unless he could also reach the height of the professor in the field of genetic science, he would never be able to understand the professor's answer to this question.
The professor makes no secret of his views on morality. "The bottom line for scientists should be the well-being of all human beings and the dignity of individuals. The latter is more important than the former. But if a few grandstanding politicians or non-governmental organizations with nothing to do are tied down, it is scientific suicide." When Chen Ou was 20 years old, the United Nations passed the "Anti-Clone Bill", the professor commented.At that time, Chen Ou thought that this was another cynical vent by the professor, because the professor had always been firmly opposed to reproductive cloning, and opposed to breeding, raising, and slaughtering individual human beings as livestock that provide fur.
Therefore, when Chen Ou found out that the professor had been deeply involved in Wagundy's research, he was not very surprised, at least not as surprised as Nice and the other three thought.What annoyed him was the fact that the professor took the entrusted frozen embryos to conceive adults on his own initiative.
Contrary to the professor's fierce temperament, Chen Ou is very gentle. The only similarity with the professor is that both he and the professor strictly adhere to their own bottom line.Chen Ou believes that individual reproductive freedom must be respected, and the right to choose whether to give birth or not give birth should be returned to the family.Only parents who really want their children will give their children unreserved love, so that children can form healthy personalities that are beneficial to society.At this time, the global birth rate has dropped to a critical threshold. Many public opinions attribute the reason for young people's refusal to have children to the lack of moral and ethical concepts, and demand legislation to encourage young people to pay more attention to family and take more responsibility for raising the next generation. responsibility.
"In the final analysis, your idea is still a derivative of the saying 'children are the crystallization of love'." The professor often laughed at Chen Ou, "but there are so few true loves and so many people. If the saying 'children should be the crystallization of love' is true, then you will be the theoretical mentor of the theory of human extinction."
Therefore, the professor's self-assertion violated Chen Ou's bottom line, but he is the biggest beneficiary of this behavior, and it would be hypocritical to entangle the bottom line.Chen Ou thought about Tianming, and finally came to the conclusion: children may not be born because of love, but their growth requires a lot of love.
"So my personality is very healthy." Chen Ou said to himself, citing the story of an antique lily-shaped writing desk to prove that he did not lack love in his growth.He was very hungry after unraveling the knot, but Ness brought too much food, and despite the joint efforts of the two, the food on the tray was only reduced by about half.
Martin called Nice in the living room: "Nice, you have a visitor." The voice was full of surprise.
Childhood autism still left a little impact on Nice.He served in the school club, but he rarely reached out to his peers unless necessary, and he never invited friends over.In Chen Ou's memory, this was the first time he received guests from Nice at home.
Bodi stood in the middle of the living room, smiling shyly at Martin, with a travel bag at his feet.The professor sat in a wheelchair and looked at him critically.
The author has something to say: I am busy with three-dimensional affairs recently, try to update it on weekends, thank you for your understanding.
☆、Chapter 36
Chen Ou's temples throbbed, dizzy.He pressed his forehead and glared at Nice: "You!" He was too angry to say another word.
Nice stood facing him, shoulders straight, chin clenched, staring at the ground in front of his feet, pursing his lips stubbornly, without saying a word.Viewed from the side, the outlines of the two are quite similar.
Martin quietly asked the professor: "Would you like to go back to the study first?" He wanted to leave the living room to Chen Ou and Nice.After all, Nice is an adult, and being taught a lesson in front of the whole family may seriously hurt his self-esteem.
The professor put down the book in his hand and quietly replied: "No, I'm afraid someone will commit domestic violence. I have to watch Chen Ou."
Although they tried their best to control the volume, the living room was so quiet that Suzanne's panting could be heard in the yard, and the conversation between the two naturally fell into the ears of Chen Ou and Nice.Chen Ou turned around abruptly, looked at the professor and Martin back and forth furiously, leaned forward, trembling slightly, and his voice trembled: "Do you think this is a joke?" He bit his lower lip, trying to control himself, not to let the anger Burned himself to say irreparable words.But it didn't work.The other three could see that his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were getting bloodshot.
Usually, Martin complains, the professor has a poisonous tongue, and he is very sexual. Chen Ou is the most gentle person in the family. Unscrupulous.So, when he got angry, the other three didn't know how to react.
The professor became visibly disturbed, holding the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair with both arms, struggling to stand up.Martin hastened to support him.Chen Ou pinched his temples, let out a breath, withdrew his disappointed eyes, turned and went upstairs to his bedroom.
Hearing the door slam shut, Nice slowly raised his head and looked at the stairs.
************************************************** **********************
(time back 12 hours)
Nice and Burdy hugged each other. "Bodi!" he exclaimed happily.
Bodi laughed and said, "My family and I were transiting in the city, and the plane was delayed for 24 hours. My parents went to visit a relative here, so I came to see you."
Everyone could see that Nice's happiness flowed from his heart.Martin's advice: "Give your friends some refreshments. Go to the beach if you can."
Bodi had no objection, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the professor was too much pressure for him.Nice turned his head to look at him, smiled, and thought that Chen Ou should really show Bodi like this, which proved that he was not the only one who didn't like the professor.
Bodie stood in Nice's bedroom, looking around curiously.Martin tidied it up two days ago, and just now Chen Ou took a short time to tidy it up more decently.Bodi, who knew about Nice's background, said, "My God, I didn't expect you to live like a prince."
There were two tuk-tuk sounds from the door, and Martin brought tea and fruit, and winked at Nice: "I'll go to the supermarket later, and I can take you to the seaside boulevard."
Nice put the tray on the bedside table and said, "Martin is so kind to you, he never knocked on the door before."
Hearing this, Bodi turned around, laughed out loud, and said, "You are such a well-behaved boy!"
Nice put his arms around Berdy and touched his cheek lightly with his lips.
In the living room, the professor struggled and said, "I thought they would pull off the roof, but being so quiet gave me another kind of worry. Nice is only 16 years old, isn't it a little too early?"
Chen Ou jokingly pushed the professor to the yard to bask in the sun, in case he stayed in the living room and said more inappropriate words to be heard by the guests.He secretly decided that he would never spend the night in Nice's bedroom again, because he has a slight obsession with cleanliness.
Nice's bedroom is not as beautiful as the elders imagined.Nice just hugged Bodi quietly, and Bodi was attracted by the scenery outside the window.
"That's it?" He pointed at Chen Ou's car parked in the yard the night before, and asked excitedly.
Nice nodded.Bodi is a car fan, and his knowledge of this car comes from him.
Bodie took a breath, "Can I have a test drive?" He asked eagerly, looking at the shiny car body reflecting the sun with fascination, "Look at that car body! Look at that streamline! The engine production is fully participated by supercomputers. According to the scenario specified by the user, the debugging parameters are determined after a simulated test run on 99.99% of the same environment on the earth. It is manually assembled by the best technicians on the earth. The fit between standard parts can reach [-]%. Soul fit like □□ !” He put his hands on his chest and sang the last words in an aria.
Nice is very difficult.He is willing to do his best to meet all of Berdy's demands.But the car is the professor's.At home, everything owned by the professor belongs to Chen Ou, and everything owned by Chen Ou belongs to him, but what belongs to the professor is not his, unless the professor allows him to use it.
Chen Ou explained this to him many times, racking his brains to make him understand that it's not that the professor doesn't love him, it's just that most of the professor's personal belongings are valuable, and he has to prove that he really understands their value before he can be qualified to use them .According to Nice's understanding, that would have to wait at least until he became financially independent.
Fortunately, just like the professor was to Chen Ou, Chen Ou has always been responsive to him and provided the maximum material supply within his ability, so he never felt any regrets.Right now, Nice is in a dilemma.
He tried to change the subject, asking, "Did you see my gift?"
Bodi was still looking out of the window, reluctant to even take a look away: "It's too expensive, I can't take it. I brought it this time, and I'm going to return it to you."
After much deliberation, Nice did not send Burdy a new coat for Christmas.Because Bodi bought one for himself with the scholarship, although it is not as expensive as the original shredded dolphin fur coat, it is decent enough for students.The brand of Chen Ou's coat is too extravagant, and students have no chance to wear it. On the contrary, it is not as practical as a lightweight sports coat to keep out the cold.So Niss used the money he saved from working for four months to buy a communication watch for his lover that can connect to the virtual 3D network in the school.
The college's virtual 3D network belongs to the military system and requires special equipment to access.The college equips each student with a bulky terminal access device, which is centrally placed in the network laboratory.Although the laboratory is open 24 hours, it is located at the other end of the school, opposite the student dormitory area.Even military students who call themselves "iron-blooded" are rarely willing to brave the severe cold of the Arctic Circle to walk across the entire campus to study in the laboratory.
For this reason, the logistics department of the college has specially developed a watch, which provides all the functions of the terminal access device and can also connect to the public network.However, due to the use of encrypted school lines, communication costs to connect to the public network are extremely expensive.Watches cost a lot of money, but they spared the owner the hardship of trekking in the cold, so they were especially popular among students.
Nice no need to buy.As a student in a secret training program, he had the privilege of getting a watch for free.Bodi didn't buy it either. Most of his scholarship was used to pay tuition and necessary living expenses, and the rest was not enough to buy watches.That conflict with a classmate happened on his way to the laboratory, and it was that time that he fell in love with Nice.
Berdy was very hardworking and very sensitive.Nice can feel that he is envious of his family background and financial conditions, but he refuses material help from Nice.Moreover, all of Nice's property comes from Chen Ou, and it is very inappropriate to use his property to support others without his consent.Therefore, Niss bought a watch for Bodi with his part-time salary as a Christmas gift, and he is sure that his lover will accept this practical gift that reflects his meticulous intentions.
This watch spent the last penny he earned from working, so he couldn't prepare Christmas gifts for Chen Ou and the three of them anymore, and he was so guilty.The three of Chen Ou cared about him, said nothing, and expressed a high welcome to his return home, which made Niss feel more guilty, and even the professor was not as hateful in his eyes as before.
Nice said, "Berdy, don't say no to me. I want to make you happier and lighter if I can."
Bodi smiled and said, "Thank you. My grades are excellent this year. My family is very happy when they know about it. They have already bought one for me. I don't need a second one."
This was the first time Bodi mentioned his family to Nice.Ness thought he came from a poor background, but at this point it sounded like he was coming from a decent family.Burdy was in a good mood and explained, "My father remarried this year, and my stepmother is from the Lewis family, you know, 'the' Lewis family." A position, so my cost of living has increased significantly compared to before.”
When Jessica left, Nice was still young and didn't understand what happened, and Chen Ou didn't tell him about the troubles encountered by the research institute, so he had a mediocre feeling about the Lewis Group.I was very happy for Bodi, but worried that the gift I gave didn't meet Bodi's wishes.
Bertie was still staring at the car in the yard, fascinated by it.
Nice is ready to make unforgettable memories for lovers' Christmas holiday trip.
************************************************** **********************
Bertie and Nice are going to the beach.Nice found Chen Ou, bit the bullet and asked for a car.Chen Ou was surprised: "You don't even have a driver's license!"
Nisi replied eagerly: "Berdi has it, he is full."
Chen Ou understood, and pondered: "Martin just did a beauty maintenance for the car, and all his previous efforts were wasted once he went to the beach."
This is a Chen-style refusal. If it is a professor or Martin, you don’t need to ask again, but Nice has never been rejected by Chen Ou. I don’t know how principled he is under his gentle surface.
Nice pleaded: "We can take the car to the dealer for maintenance on the return trip, and I promise to bring it back brand new!"
Chen Ou suggested with a smile: "There is a car rental company at the intersection five kilometers away, please ask Martin to take you to pick a sports car that is more suitable for the beach?" He was actually a little unhappy, but it didn't show on his face.
Just as he never refused Nice's request, Nice never disobeyed his wish.At this time, Chen Ou felt that his status as "Nice's closest person" had been challenged, and his heart was sour.
Burti blurted out: "But the car rental company must not have such treasures!"
The professor who was instructing Martin to prepare picnic baskets for the children slowly turned the wheelchair to this side, showing a kind smile.
Chen Ou and Martin exchanged a look of horror.
Out of pity for Bo Di, Chen Ou almost wanted to agree to Nice.If Bodi doesn't learn to control his temper, he will suffer sooner or later.
He only met Bodi twice, and both times Bodi showed his impulsive side of character.The first time can be said to be caused by Nice's recklessness, but this time, after Chen Ou clearly expressed his refusal, he still insisted on making things difficult for him, which was far from being a guest.
Perhaps this is a common feature of the class to which Burdi was born.Due to the lack of resources and opportunities, they need to do their best to jump and pick what others can achieve by continuing to walk.The only way to rise to the higher ranks is to take risks.Unaware of the value of tact, veil, and detour, this class prevails with a directness bordering on insolence and a brutality masquerading as candor.Chen Ou is very satisfied that Nice is not like this, even though he used to be a little savage.
But Nice also needs a good education.
With so many thoughts on his mind, he seemed to be seriously considering Nice's suggestion.Nice and Bodi felt that there was a joke, and stared at Chen Ou's lips expectantly, hoping that he would say yes in the next moment.
Chen Ou smiled and said: "Although the car is maintained every day, it is still too old for you young people. You really don't consider my suggestion?" His tone was full of guiding hints, and he decided to give Nice last chance.
Nice looked at Burdy.Bertie shook his head, so Nice didn't change his words.
Chen Ou said: "Okay then." He motioned to Martin, "Give me the car keys."
Two ecstatic children followed him to the back door and saw a white five-seat family station wagon.Nice is no stranger to this car, the family used to drive it when he was a child
************************************************** ***********************
"I think you can be happier. If it were me, I would rather have unknown parents than contract a malignant family genetic disease." On the way back, Charles said.Now they know that Chen Ou has discovered the ins and outs of the truth. Nisi didn't speak all the way, but just hugged Chen Ou tightly, and refused to relax for a while.Chen Ou thought to himself, I frightened the child a lot.
"Yes, in a better place, maybe your biological mother is still alive." Officer Jones said.
This guess made Chen Ou raise his head suddenly: "Why do you say that?"
Officer Jones was uneasy: "I'm just guessing. I saw your father's photo, and no one can deny his blood relationship with you. If you were born a year after his death, well, I guess, maybe it was with some reproductive technology? I don't know, you're the expert."

They went to visit Catherine.Catherine looked at Chen Ou and sighed slightly.
"Ms. Chen's family has a malignant genetic disease. Who would want to pass this disease on to their children? Mrs. Chen told Mr. Chen that she would not have children. Mr. Chen felt that with the development of science, there might be a cure for this genetic disease in the future." technology, but there is a natural limit to the age of female reproduction. They are smart people, so they are going to freeze sperm and eggs."
"Frozen sperm and eggs have a certain failure rate, not as high as the success rate of frozen embryos. They solicited a woman who was willing to provide eggs, and they kept frozen embryos. That way, if they want to have children later, they have at least a few options. Optional."
"I worked with Mrs. Chen for several years, until she died, she did not show the slightest sign of pregnancy. Later, I heard that the professor brought you back, so I understood. The institute has a reproductive technology laboratory , specializing in how to minimize the damage of similar techniques to the human body, especially women. It is impossible for the Chen couple to do related operations without asking the professor for help. He should be the custodian of the frozen embryos of the Chen couple.”
"But why did the professor do that?" Sergeant Jones asked.
Catherine shook her head: "The Chen couple are the professor's most beloved disciples. They died young, but left no children. The professor may have fulfilled the wish of his beloved disciple. After all, they died because of the results of rescuing the research institute Yes. It is reasonable for the professor to want to compensate them."
Chen Ou, Nice, and Charles were silent when they thought of the professor's usual behavior.This is indeed the style of the professor, who does not owe anyone the slightest favor, even to the deceased.
"Can we still find information about the woman who provided the eggs?" Nice asked.
Catherine glanced at him reproachfully, as if wondering that he would ask such a question that lacked common sense: "What she provided was just an egg, and she didn't conceive after ten months, and she didn't experience the nutrition sharing and information sharing between mother and fetus. Communication, don't you think Chen Ou should recognize his mother?"
"Even with frozen embryos, the professor still has to find a surrogate woman to provide the uterus." Charles asked wittily.
Catherine rolled her eyes. "Acquaintance with a woman who has no genetic relationship with you?" she demanded.
The four looked at each other.Constable Jones concluded: "So I hate genes and technology like that, which messes up the most basic human relationships."
"Believe me, even though the direct reason is the professor's self-assertion, you were born because of love." Catherine restrained her playful smile and said solemnly to Chen Ou: "If it wasn't because of cherishing life, Mrs. Chen could have conceived and had children directly. The malignant genetic disease gene is passed on to the child. After the operation, I heard Mrs. Chen look forward to how cute the fetus will be when it grows up more than once. They are eagerly looking forward to your birth."
Chen Ou nodded, this statement made him feel much better, at least now he can go home and face the professor.He asked: "Which one of our research institutes is a laboratory specializing in reproductive technology?" He wanted to go to the site to pay his respects.He spent most of his life in the research institute, but he didn't know that it was the origin of his life.
Catherine gave him a surprised look: "I thought you already knew that it was Wagendi's laboratory, which was originally conducted by the professor. After Wagendi came back, the professor handed over the laboratory to him."
☆、Chapter 35
"His Royal Highness suddenly wants to have breakfast in the bedroom today?" the professor raised his head from the news browser and asked Martin.
Chen Ou and Nice left on Christmas morning and returned home late at night two days later.The next morning, Nice jumped out of the bedroom, went to the kitchen to find a tray, took some milk, cereal, juice, egg, bacon and fruit sandwiches, and went back to the bedroom, before Martin had time to ask him about his whereabouts in the past two days.
Martin placed the freshly squeezed juice on the professor's right hand.The professor is a little lactose intolerant and doesn't drink much milk."Come on Professor, it's Christmas break," he said with a smile.
"You're spoiling the child, Martin," said the professor sternly.
Martin couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Nice in the bedroom also complained to Chen Ou: "The old man speaks ill of me again."
Chen Ou leaned against the head of the bed and peeled off the eggs bit by bit.He was very tired and just wanted to have a good sleep, so he said "no breakfast", which was interpreted by Nice as that he didn't want to go out to face the professor, so he had to face twice the usual breakfast.
Chen Ou fed half an egg to Nice and said with a smile, "He's talking about me."
He recalled, with nostalgia slowly showing on his face, and said: "When I was eight years old, I joined the swimming club. I grew up very quickly, and children's tables and chairs were no longer suitable. The professor took me to buy furniture. At that time, the Institute There are not many results yet, and the funds are stretched, and the professor has to cut expenses again and again, saving limited money for the purchase of experimental materials."
************************************************** ***********************
It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the professor and Chen Ou's apartment in the city to the large furniture supermarket chain "Yuejia". For the professor, it is a bit difficult to walk this distance with crutches, but it is not impossible.It was a bright spring day, and the birds were chirping.So Martin didn't drive, and the three of them walked slowly along the commercial pedestrian street to their destination.
After Chen Ou became an adult, this area became a well-known luxury discount street. There are various first-line brand discount stores on both sides of several cross streets.Countless tourists from home and abroad lined up in front of each store, hoping to get a number plate before closing, enter the crowded store, and buy out-of-season or defective products at a discount of [-] to [-]% off the original price. first-line brand products.
But when Chen Ou was eight years old, this area was just an ordinary commercial pedestrian street, with few tourists, and there were not many local people during working hours on weekdays.The only vehicles on the street are driverless cleaning vans, which make their way back and forth every three to 10 minutes, watering the thriving flower strips and bushes in the middle of the road, while sucking up the occasional confetti core on the ground with a tinkle. Dang sound, reminding nearby passers-by to avoid.
Chen Ou matured precociously. At the age of eight, he already knew from the surrounding discussions that he was not a professor parent-child.What is even more unfortunate is that the professor did not handle the adoption procedures for him, even though he wrote the professor in the "Guardian" column of various forms.From a legal point of view, he has nothing to do with the professor, and the professor can abandon him at any time without any legal and moral responsibilities.Therefore, he has been very well-behaved.
Chen Ou walked through the pedestrian street in an orderly manner, hardly looking at the candy shop and cake shop.Even when the professor asked him if he wanted ice cream, he pursed his lips and shook his head firmly.It was only when he reached the corner antique shop that he stopped, his eyes shining.
There is an ebony writing desk in the shape of lily petals in the window of the antique shop. The top is inlaid with four slender ivory white porcelain plates, which radiate and curl from the center to the surroundings.The four table legs are inlaid with bronze pillars and are carved in the shape of Victory playing a trombone.The shape of the whole table is like four goddesses of victory holding a light lily petal.
The professor walked over panting on crutches, and admired it with him: "The French court style in the [-]th century, the lily is the symbol of the Bourbon dynasty. This craftsmanship and meaning should be the work of the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty."
The shopkeeper who came out smiled, and was satisfied with the affirmation of the experts: "The letter desk of a princess of the Bourbon Dynasty was later entered into a private collection. I took a picture of it a year ago and sent it to the Antique Furniture Research Institute for half a year for restoration. Just put it out."
Chen Ou couldn't hear anything.He was dumbfounded, fascinated by this exquisite antique desk.
Beauty is nothingness and lightness.When the light of a star hundreds of millions of light years away reaches the earth and is observed by humans, its body may have already collapsed into a black hole.Many people feel beauty, but they can't tell what beauty is all their lives.But beauty is real, and it weighs more than ten thousand junctures. Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, it suddenly strikes a fatal blow when ordinary people are unprepared, causing blindness, deafness, and death.Right now, Chen Ou was indeed captured by the god of beauty who turned into a writing desk, and he had no power to resist.
In his eyes, there is nothing about this writing desk that is not beautiful.Majestic bronze pillars, smooth curved carvings, glowing black sandalwood tabletops, and brisk and beautiful porcelain mosaic, she has life and breath, she is calm under their gaze, and graceful and comfortable in the polishing of years.At that time he was not yet learned enough to tell what was so good about its material and workmanship, but a great masterpiece needs no analysis but only worship, just as human beings are moved by starlight without knowing exactly how far it came from.
Chen Ou was a child who rarely expressed his likes and dislikes, neither the professor nor Martin urged him.The three quietly looked at the window for a long time, and after a long time, the shopkeeper greeted him again and politely invited the professor to enter the shop for a rest, then they thanked them and left.
Until arriving at "Yuejia", Chen Ou did not take his thoughts away from the antique writing desk.Martin stood in the busy aisle, shouting at him desperately, telling him to try every desk, and it took him a while to react.
"Yuejia" furniture is mainly aimed at college students who often move and office workers who rent houses. The style is fashionable, the texture is ordinary, and the corners and corners reflect the most important pursuit of the merchants, if not the only one - cost saving.Because of its low price, it is not a pity to be eliminated in one or two years, which is in line with the psychological trend of consumers who love the new and dislike the old, so they are very popular.Many local residents often come to the store to buy, especially for families with underage children. They need to change furniture frequently so that the height of the furniture can adapt to the height of the children.
Chen Ou is often invited to the home of his classmates.Most of the students use "Yuejia" furniture, and Chen Ou is no stranger to various desks.He tried and tried, trying to find the ideal one, but all the desks were almost exactly the same, all of them were cold industrial automation products, crude, stiff, and without texture at all.
This made Chen Ou very uneasy.The professor is responsive to him, so he is even more unwilling to be arrogant.That antique desk sold for enough to furnish the professor and his apartment with a whole Yuet furniture set.When the professor's own bedroom furniture basically comes from "Yuejia", it is very inappropriate to reject "Yuejia" and show his desire for antique desks.
As an orphan, Chen Ou was born with a lack of security and confidence in love.With an IQ that far exceeds the level of his peers, he understands the communication rules of social groups and draws an insurmountable red line of behavior for himself.Right now, the lily ebony writing desk is just outside the red line.At this time, he did not understand that the love of luxury goods has nothing to do with negative psychology such as vanity and greed for enjoyment, but only reflects the pursuit of beauty in the human heart.People who are more sensitive to beauty tend to be less able to tolerate vulgarity.At this time, he only hated himself, why couldn't he just go with the situation like most of the other students and happily accept a piece of simple and affordable "Yuejia" furniture.
Chen Ou was stunned for a while, which made him stand up slowly from a desk.Martin asked, "This one?"
This desk is like no other.But it's meaningless to pick any more, so Chen Ou nodded.
The professor who saw everything in his eyes stopped Martin from going to the cashier to pay.
"I think we can check other stores." The professor said.
In the next two weeks, after school, Chen Ou would often take a detour from school and pass by the entrance of the antique shop, quietly watching the lily-shaped writing desk for a while before leaving.
Two weeks later, the writing desk disappeared, and a rosewood gilt-padded bench chair was replaced in its original place. The ubiquitous golden pink made Chen Ou's eyes hurt.
He returns home unhappy and finds both the professor and Martin waiting for him.Martin looked unhappy, but the professor in the wheelchair looked normal.
He was keenly aware of something, and hastily opened the door of his bedroom, only to find the lily-shaped ebony writing desk standing quietly where the children's desk used to be.
"I used to think that you would go bankrupt because of your research, but now it seems that it is too early to attribute the reasons." When Chen Ou threw himself into the professor's arms and kissed him desperately, Martin said sadly.
************************************************** ********************
"From then on, the professor called me 'His Royal Highness' whenever he was happy, and made fun of me for being fascinated by an antique desk with a strong feminine style. After moving to the current home, the professor's study room just lacked a classical style desk. I gave it to him. He never called me that again." Chen Ou stuffed the remaining half egg into Nice's mouth and said with a smile.
Nice chewed the egg in his mouth hard, as if to vent his unreasonable depression.Chen Ou lowered his head and cut open the bacon on the dinner plate, and stopped talking for now.
Nice finally chose to swallow the egg instead of spit it out angrily, and said reluctantly, "Okay, I forgive him." Because he tried his best to make you feel loved, and because he gave you life on his own initiative, I Forgive him for making you so miserable yesterday.
Chen Ou smiled and speeded up the pace of eating.
Last night he dreamed that he went back to the research institute and pushed open one door after another. All the laboratories were empty, without equipment, materials, or colleagues.Finally, he pushed open a door and discovered that it was Wagundi's laboratory.Wagundy was doing experiments with his back to him, turned around after hearing the sound, and turned into the professor's face.The professor smiled at him and said: "There are not enough materials, what should I do for the experiment?" Then he found himself being lifted onto the bright experimental platform, and he couldn't help but...
Waking up with a start, Chen Ou found Nice lying on his chest, breathing heavily.He habitually pushed Niss aside, listened to Niss snoring slightly, and carefully sorted out the facts that he had investigated during this period of time in his mind.
To be honest, discovering that the professor may have a closer relationship with Wagundi in research than he expected, it is not as shocking as discovering that he was born for another reason.After all, the professor is No. 1 in the field of genetic research, and Chen Ou was not so naive as to think that the professor would restrain his academic interests and not carry out prohibited research.
There should be no restricted areas for scientific research. This is a fact that politicians and the public cannot understand.They believe that scientists should follow the moral boundaries drawn by society and work in circles in an orderly manner.But true scientific research workers know that scientific research is like a big tree with branches stretching wildly in all directions.And the scientist is just an ant on a branch. In order to climb to a branch, he must go through another scar.
Research has its inherent laws, and there are often numerous discoveries that support a result.Arbitrary bans on scientists entering certain fields can delay breakthroughs in adjacent fields.Chen Ou knows better than anyone else the significance of the professor's achievements to genetic science.Therefore, he not only does not believe that the professor has not done prohibited research, but also, because of the professor's outstanding achievements, Chen Ou has reason to believe that the professor has gone deeper into the prohibited field than any of his contemporaries.
He never tested this conjecture to the professor.Scientists have always had a morality that rivals their philosophy of science.Chen Ou felt that unless he could also reach the height of the professor in the field of genetic science, he would never be able to understand the professor's answer to this question.
The professor makes no secret of his views on morality. "The bottom line for scientists should be the well-being of all human beings and the dignity of individuals. The latter is more important than the former. But if a few grandstanding politicians or non-governmental organizations with nothing to do are tied down, it is scientific suicide." When Chen Ou was 20 years old, the United Nations passed the "Anti-Clone Bill", the professor commented.At that time, Chen Ou thought that this was another cynical vent by the professor, because the professor had always been firmly opposed to reproductive cloning, and opposed to breeding, raising, and slaughtering individual human beings as livestock that provide fur.
Therefore, when Chen Ou found out that the professor had been deeply involved in Wagundy's research, he was not very surprised, at least not as surprised as Nice and the other three thought.What annoyed him was the fact that the professor took the entrusted frozen embryos to conceive adults on his own initiative.
Contrary to the professor's fierce temperament, Chen Ou is very gentle. The only similarity with the professor is that both he and the professor strictly adhere to their own bottom line.Chen Ou believes that individual reproductive freedom must be respected, and the right to choose whether to give birth or not give birth should be returned to the family.Only parents who really want their children will give their children unreserved love, so that children can form healthy personalities that are beneficial to society.At this time, the global birth rate has dropped to a critical threshold. Many public opinions attribute the reason for young people's refusal to have children to the lack of moral and ethical concepts, and demand legislation to encourage young people to pay more attention to family and take more responsibility for raising the next generation. responsibility.
"In the final analysis, your idea is still a derivative of the saying 'children are the crystallization of love'." The professor often laughed at Chen Ou, "but there are so few true loves and so many people. If the saying 'children should be the crystallization of love' is true, then you will be the theoretical mentor of the theory of human extinction."
Therefore, the professor's self-assertion violated Chen Ou's bottom line, but he is the biggest beneficiary of this behavior, and it would be hypocritical to entangle the bottom line.Chen Ou thought about Tianming, and finally came to the conclusion: children may not be born because of love, but their growth requires a lot of love.
"So my personality is very healthy." Chen Ou said to himself, citing the story of an antique lily-shaped writing desk to prove that he did not lack love in his growth.He was very hungry after unraveling the knot, but Ness brought too much food, and despite the joint efforts of the two, the food on the tray was only reduced by about half.
Martin called Nice in the living room: "Nice, you have a visitor." The voice was full of surprise.
Childhood autism still left a little impact on Nice.He served in the school club, but he rarely reached out to his peers unless necessary, and he never invited friends over.In Chen Ou's memory, this was the first time he received guests from Nice at home.
Bodi stood in the middle of the living room, smiling shyly at Martin, with a travel bag at his feet.The professor sat in a wheelchair and looked at him critically.
The author has something to say: I am busy with three-dimensional affairs recently, try to update it on weekends, thank you for your understanding.
☆、Chapter 36
Chen Ou's temples throbbed, dizzy.He pressed his forehead and glared at Nice: "You!" He was too angry to say another word.
Nice stood facing him, shoulders straight, chin clenched, staring at the ground in front of his feet, pursing his lips stubbornly, without saying a word.Viewed from the side, the outlines of the two are quite similar.
Martin quietly asked the professor: "Would you like to go back to the study first?" He wanted to leave the living room to Chen Ou and Nice.After all, Nice is an adult, and being taught a lesson in front of the whole family may seriously hurt his self-esteem.
The professor put down the book in his hand and quietly replied: "No, I'm afraid someone will commit domestic violence. I have to watch Chen Ou."
Although they tried their best to control the volume, the living room was so quiet that Suzanne's panting could be heard in the yard, and the conversation between the two naturally fell into the ears of Chen Ou and Nice.Chen Ou turned around abruptly, looked at the professor and Martin back and forth furiously, leaned forward, trembling slightly, and his voice trembled: "Do you think this is a joke?" He bit his lower lip, trying to control himself, not to let the anger Burned himself to say irreparable words.But it didn't work.The other three could see that his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were getting bloodshot.
Usually, Martin complains, the professor has a poisonous tongue, and he is very sexual. Chen Ou is the most gentle person in the family. Unscrupulous.So, when he got angry, the other three didn't know how to react.
The professor became visibly disturbed, holding the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair with both arms, struggling to stand up.Martin hastened to support him.Chen Ou pinched his temples, let out a breath, withdrew his disappointed eyes, turned and went upstairs to his bedroom.
Hearing the door slam shut, Nice slowly raised his head and looked at the stairs.
************************************************** **********************
(time back 12 hours)
Nice and Burdy hugged each other. "Bodi!" he exclaimed happily.
Bodi laughed and said, "My family and I were transiting in the city, and the plane was delayed for 24 hours. My parents went to visit a relative here, so I came to see you."
Everyone could see that Nice's happiness flowed from his heart.Martin's advice: "Give your friends some refreshments. Go to the beach if you can."
Bodi had no objection, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the professor was too much pressure for him.Nice turned his head to look at him, smiled, and thought that Chen Ou should really show Bodi like this, which proved that he was not the only one who didn't like the professor.
Bodie stood in Nice's bedroom, looking around curiously.Martin tidied it up two days ago, and just now Chen Ou took a short time to tidy it up more decently.Bodi, who knew about Nice's background, said, "My God, I didn't expect you to live like a prince."
There were two tuk-tuk sounds from the door, and Martin brought tea and fruit, and winked at Nice: "I'll go to the supermarket later, and I can take you to the seaside boulevard."
Nice put the tray on the bedside table and said, "Martin is so kind to you, he never knocked on the door before."
Hearing this, Bodi turned around, laughed out loud, and said, "You are such a well-behaved boy!"
Nice put his arms around Berdy and touched his cheek lightly with his lips.
In the living room, the professor struggled and said, "I thought they would pull off the roof, but being so quiet gave me another kind of worry. Nice is only 16 years old, isn't it a little too early?"
Chen Ou jokingly pushed the professor to the yard to bask in the sun, in case he stayed in the living room and said more inappropriate words to be heard by the guests.He secretly decided that he would never spend the night in Nice's bedroom again, because he has a slight obsession with cleanliness.
Nice's bedroom is not as beautiful as the elders imagined.Nice just hugged Bodi quietly, and Bodi was attracted by the scenery outside the window.
"That's it?" He pointed at Chen Ou's car parked in the yard the night before, and asked excitedly.
Nice nodded.Bodi is a car fan, and his knowledge of this car comes from him.
Bodie took a breath, "Can I have a test drive?" He asked eagerly, looking at the shiny car body reflecting the sun with fascination, "Look at that car body! Look at that streamline! The engine production is fully participated by supercomputers. According to the scenario specified by the user, the debugging parameters are determined after a simulated test run on 99.99% of the same environment on the earth. It is manually assembled by the best technicians on the earth. The fit between standard parts can reach [-]%. Soul fit like □□ !” He put his hands on his chest and sang the last words in an aria.
Nice is very difficult.He is willing to do his best to meet all of Berdy's demands.But the car is the professor's.At home, everything owned by the professor belongs to Chen Ou, and everything owned by Chen Ou belongs to him, but what belongs to the professor is not his, unless the professor allows him to use it.
Chen Ou explained this to him many times, racking his brains to make him understand that it's not that the professor doesn't love him, it's just that most of the professor's personal belongings are valuable, and he has to prove that he really understands their value before he can be qualified to use them .According to Nice's understanding, that would have to wait at least until he became financially independent.
Fortunately, just like the professor was to Chen Ou, Chen Ou has always been responsive to him and provided the maximum material supply within his ability, so he never felt any regrets.Right now, Nice is in a dilemma.
He tried to change the subject, asking, "Did you see my gift?"
Bodi was still looking out of the window, reluctant to even take a look away: "It's too expensive, I can't take it. I brought it this time, and I'm going to return it to you."
After much deliberation, Nice did not send Burdy a new coat for Christmas.Because Bodi bought one for himself with the scholarship, although it is not as expensive as the original shredded dolphin fur coat, it is decent enough for students.The brand of Chen Ou's coat is too extravagant, and students have no chance to wear it. On the contrary, it is not as practical as a lightweight sports coat to keep out the cold.So Niss used the money he saved from working for four months to buy a communication watch for his lover that can connect to the virtual 3D network in the school.
The college's virtual 3D network belongs to the military system and requires special equipment to access.The college equips each student with a bulky terminal access device, which is centrally placed in the network laboratory.Although the laboratory is open 24 hours, it is located at the other end of the school, opposite the student dormitory area.Even military students who call themselves "iron-blooded" are rarely willing to brave the severe cold of the Arctic Circle to walk across the entire campus to study in the laboratory.
For this reason, the logistics department of the college has specially developed a watch, which provides all the functions of the terminal access device and can also connect to the public network.However, due to the use of encrypted school lines, communication costs to connect to the public network are extremely expensive.Watches cost a lot of money, but they spared the owner the hardship of trekking in the cold, so they were especially popular among students.
Nice no need to buy.As a student in a secret training program, he had the privilege of getting a watch for free.Bodi didn't buy it either. Most of his scholarship was used to pay tuition and necessary living expenses, and the rest was not enough to buy watches.That conflict with a classmate happened on his way to the laboratory, and it was that time that he fell in love with Nice.
Berdy was very hardworking and very sensitive.Nice can feel that he is envious of his family background and financial conditions, but he refuses material help from Nice.Moreover, all of Nice's property comes from Chen Ou, and it is very inappropriate to use his property to support others without his consent.Therefore, Niss bought a watch for Bodi with his part-time salary as a Christmas gift, and he is sure that his lover will accept this practical gift that reflects his meticulous intentions.
This watch spent the last penny he earned from working, so he couldn't prepare Christmas gifts for Chen Ou and the three of them anymore, and he was so guilty.The three of Chen Ou cared about him, said nothing, and expressed a high welcome to his return home, which made Niss feel more guilty, and even the professor was not as hateful in his eyes as before.
Nice said, "Berdy, don't say no to me. I want to make you happier and lighter if I can."
Bodi smiled and said, "Thank you. My grades are excellent this year. My family is very happy when they know about it. They have already bought one for me. I don't need a second one."
This was the first time Bodi mentioned his family to Nice.Ness thought he came from a poor background, but at this point it sounded like he was coming from a decent family.Burdy was in a good mood and explained, "My father remarried this year, and my stepmother is from the Lewis family, you know, 'the' Lewis family." A position, so my cost of living has increased significantly compared to before.”
When Jessica left, Nice was still young and didn't understand what happened, and Chen Ou didn't tell him about the troubles encountered by the research institute, so he had a mediocre feeling about the Lewis Group.I was very happy for Bodi, but worried that the gift I gave didn't meet Bodi's wishes.
Bertie was still staring at the car in the yard, fascinated by it.
Nice is ready to make unforgettable memories for lovers' Christmas holiday trip.
************************************************** **********************
Bertie and Nice are going to the beach.Nice found Chen Ou, bit the bullet and asked for a car.Chen Ou was surprised: "You don't even have a driver's license!"
Nisi replied eagerly: "Berdi has it, he is full."
Chen Ou understood, and pondered: "Martin just did a beauty maintenance for the car, and all his previous efforts were wasted once he went to the beach."
This is a Chen-style refusal. If it is a professor or Martin, you don’t need to ask again, but Nice has never been rejected by Chen Ou. I don’t know how principled he is under his gentle surface.
Nice pleaded: "We can take the car to the dealer for maintenance on the return trip, and I promise to bring it back brand new!"
Chen Ou suggested with a smile: "There is a car rental company at the intersection five kilometers away, please ask Martin to take you to pick a sports car that is more suitable for the beach?" He was actually a little unhappy, but it didn't show on his face.
Just as he never refused Nice's request, Nice never disobeyed his wish.At this time, Chen Ou felt that his status as "Nice's closest person" had been challenged, and his heart was sour.
Burti blurted out: "But the car rental company must not have such treasures!"
The professor who was instructing Martin to prepare picnic baskets for the children slowly turned the wheelchair to this side, showing a kind smile.
Chen Ou and Martin exchanged a look of horror.
Out of pity for Bo Di, Chen Ou almost wanted to agree to Nice.If Bodi doesn't learn to control his temper, he will suffer sooner or later.
He only met Bodi twice, and both times Bodi showed his impulsive side of character.The first time can be said to be caused by Nice's recklessness, but this time, after Chen Ou clearly expressed his refusal, he still insisted on making things difficult for him, which was far from being a guest.
Perhaps this is a common feature of the class to which Burdi was born.Due to the lack of resources and opportunities, they need to do their best to jump and pick what others can achieve by continuing to walk.The only way to rise to the higher ranks is to take risks.Unaware of the value of tact, veil, and detour, this class prevails with a directness bordering on insolence and a brutality masquerading as candor.Chen Ou is very satisfied that Nice is not like this, even though he used to be a little savage.
But Nice also needs a good education.
With so many thoughts on his mind, he seemed to be seriously considering Nice's suggestion.Nice and Bodi felt that there was a joke, and stared at Chen Ou's lips expectantly, hoping that he would say yes in the next moment.
Chen Ou smiled and said: "Although the car is maintained every day, it is still too old for you young people. You really don't consider my suggestion?" His tone was full of guiding hints, and he decided to give Nice last chance.
Nice looked at Burdy.Bertie shook his head, so Nice didn't change his words.
Chen Ou said: "Okay then." He motioned to Martin, "Give me the car keys."
Two ecstatic children followed him to the back door and saw a white five-seat family station wagon.Nice is no stranger to this car, the family used to drive it when he was a child
