Make man

In many families, grandparents and grandchildren often compete consciously or unconsciously for the core position of family care.Among people who are not related by blood, the competition is more intense.The mother-in-law is jealous of the daughter-in-law occupying the son, and the husband accuses the wife of caring about her natal family, which often stems from the parties' exclusive nature of love.

Sooner or later, Nice thought, there would be such a conflict.I get it, the professor gets it, only you don't.The war between me and the professor over you started from the moment you carried me home.He doesn't like me because you love me.

☆, memory

Chen Ou has always known that the professor doesn't like Nice, and Nice also rejects him.From the moment the professor pointed his gun at Nice, the relationship between the two has become a knot, and there is no hope of unraveling it.

Not that the professor mistreated Nice.The professor is nice to Nice, giving him presents at Christmas and giving him pocket money every month.But he also gave gifts to Martin the housekeeper, and tips to the postman and the milkman.In fact, except for himself, Chen Ou has never seen the professor really care about anyone.If it weren't for his own typical East Asian features, and the professor was a pure Slav with blond hair and blue eyes, he would really suspect that he was actually the professor's biological son.

He persuaded the professor more than once: "That's just a child, professor, please treat him better for my sake."

The professor's answer was: "So, the child hasn't given a name yet? Let's call him Ness, the Loch Ness Monster—it's not forgetting the root."

In order to comfort the professor who lost the sheepshoe tree, Chen Ou accepted the name with a wry smile, deceiving himself and others, thinking that the name is actually very cute.

Nice accepted Chen Ou.Almost with the feeling of being chosen by the creator, he devoted more energy to Nice day by day.As a result, the professor exploded.

"You know you'll be accused of child molestation if you do that?" the professor said to him one evening.

The only active area in Nice is the pool water and poolside, and the indoor temperature is 25 degrees, so there is no need to wear clothes.And Chen Ou often needs to jump into the water to take care of him, and often leaves his clothes in the house, only wearing a bathrobe.Niss was dishonest when he was eating, and he liked to twist and turn in Chen Ou's arms. For the convenience of grabbing Niss, he tied the front of his bathrobe to his waist, exposing his bare legs.This does look a lot like a child-loving nymphomaniac.

"I've made an appointment with a few child psychotherapists, and you will interview them tomorrow. If you want him to integrate into society, you can't allow him to just cling to you." The professor said forcefully.

***

Thinking about the past is always bewildering, and time passes in the blink of an eye without knowing it.Chen Ou shook his head, forcing himself to return to reality, but to no avail: Looking at Nice's sullen face, he couldn't shake off the fear in his heart.With great difficulty, Nice got rid of the influence of being raised by dolphins, walked into the crowd step by step, and later suffered from autism.He has outstanding intelligence and outstanding physique, but his EQ is far behind his peers. Can he be allowed to go out and make a living?

***

(Memories)

On the second day when the professor mentioned the psychotherapist, Chen Ou was interviewing the visitor in the living room, and Nice was still in his sink.

"...I have worked for seven years in a children's psychological rehabilitation facility, treating preschool children with autism..."

"I have a lot of experience in the education of children with mental retardation, and have published seven papers..."

"...Children from single-parent families are usually timid, low self-esteem, withdrawn..."

"In a multi-racial and cross-cultural family background, children tend to be inattentive and lazy to communicate with words..."

Chen Ou politely sent off four child psychologists, rubbed his temples, and prepared to interview the last one.

Nice is not autistic and has no problems with mental development.Chen Ou has seen children with autism who are completely unresponsive to external information and seem to have lost their perception.But Nice is different, and he is very smart. He learned to use tableware in one go, but because of poor control of strength or uncoordinated movements, he often drops food.Chen Ou even saw Niss adjust the temperature switch of the air system when he felt cold, but he only did it a few times in front of Niss.

As for single parenting, interracial, and intercultural, Chen Ou feels that these proper terms in human society have not yet had time to have an effect on aquatic animals.

"The last one..." Chen Ou stopped, looking at the girl who came in in surprise.

She has blond hair with a shawl, is almost as tall as Chen Ou, wears a pair of rimless glasses, and wears a decent dress, but she was eating an apple when she came in.Chen Ou doesn't know many psychotherapists, and he doesn't know who will come to the future employer with an apple freely.The girl was very relaxed, came to sit down in front of him, and greeted him first with a smile.

"I think we are about the same age." This is the girl's opening remarks. "So I think it's better not to use the interview etiquette. I didn't eat in the morning, my blood sugar was low, and I almost fainted. Your housekeeper gave me an apple. He is so kind."

Chen Ou felt a little speechless, he looked down at the girl's resume.Capital Sports University, major in Sports Rehabilitation.

"You have seen that child in the yard, tell me about your knowledge of children's psychotherapy." He thought without any expectation, let her say a few words, and he asked her to leave.

The girl grinned.

"That child can have any psychological problems, as long as someone plays with him every day." She clicked on the apple again.

Chen Ou's body that was about to stand up slowly sat back.

"Please go into more detail."

"Oh, I don't know much about other things. I only play with children, and children of all ages can play together—there are six children in my family, and I am the eldest. I have to help my parents take care of my younger siblings," she added. , carefully place the apple core in a paper towel and stuff it into the bag.

Chen Ou wrote a check and handed it to the girl.

"Your salary is tentatively limited to this much. You need to come every day. It's better to live in my house. There are enough rooms in my house."

The girl took the check, glanced at it, and seemed to be stunned.Chen Ou stared at her suspiciously.

"Let me introduce the situation first. My family has a small population, only the professor, me, the housekeeper, and others," Chen Ou paused, "this child."

The girl hurriedly said: "My problem is, well, I often have hypoglycemia, dizziness is a big thing, and I have to put down the sugar immediately. Sometimes I will talk to myself. There is nothing other than these."

Talk to yourself.Chen Ou, who was forced to read a lot of psychiatric monographs because of Nice, thought, Damn, did I recruit a mental patient to accompany my son?

***

The girl's name is Jessica.Chen Ou immediately discovered the benefits of Jessica's company. At least he needs to keep his clothes neatly in front of her now, and he can no longer play with Nice naked to avoid being sexually harassed by her.

Nice Chen Ou, who is not used to putting on clothes, always tries to tear off Chen Ou's clothes.Chen Ou dodged from left to right, and took the time to catch Niss and put him into loose children's pajamas.

The two fought back and forth, Jessica eating with gusto.

"I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time." She sighed, "The food at school is anti-human and anti-society."

Nice suddenly lowered his head and got out of Chen Ou's hand, and grabbed Jessica's suit skirt.Before Chen Ou could stop him, there was a stabbing sound, and the zipper of the suit skirt was torn open.

"I can't bear it." She threw the knife and fork away. "I think you stinky kid just deserves a beating."

Chen Ou stared dumbfounded at Jessica taking off her suit skirt and coat, kicking off her high heels, and plopping into the water to chase after Nice.

Nice dexterously drilled around in the pool, like a proud little fish.But the Jessica Sports University diploma is not free.She pressed harder and harder, and finally blocked Nice at the corner of the pool.

"I see how you are still running!" She gritted her teeth and pinched Niss' cheek with one hand, and hit the water hard at Niss with the other hand. Niss screamed with joy and fought back vigorously.The two soon got the edge of the pool wet.

Compared with the cautious adults, the children who play rough and rough are obviously closer to Nice's original dolphin partners.The children's cheers are likely to prompt the neighbors to call the police.Chen Ou shook his head with a smile, and went out to ask the housekeeper to prepare a change of clothes for Jessica.

***

The professor sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the pool.There was constant loud laughter and screaming.

"Did you pick up another Nice?" asked the professor.

Chen Ou changed a cup of tea for him.

"A graduate of the Capital University of Physical Education who needs to repay student loans and is looking for a job, he came to apply for a neighbor's caretaker, but he went to the wrong door. A psychotherapist who had originally made an appointment did not show up. Martin thought she was here to apply for the job, so he asked Jessica came in."

The noise from the direction of the pool grew louder.

"But they get along very well."

The professor turned to look at Chen Ou.

"What about you? How are you getting along?"

"It's also very good." Chen Ou said, "Niss is finally willing to bear his temper and stopped scratching and biting me."

He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and there were no fresh bloodstains or bruises on his arms.

"I mean, you and Jessica." The professor said calmly, "I think that girl has a crush on you, and you are already old enough to fall in love."

Chen Ou smiled bitterly.

"Professor, you know I can't forget her."

Chen Ou had a girlfriend when he was a sophomore in college, and the two of them were deeply in love with each other.Later, his girlfriend died of cancer, and Chen Ou suffered from a serious illness. After recovering, he decided to devote himself to gene therapy research.

The professor opened his arms, hugged Chen Ou who was bending down comfortingly, and fell silent.

***

Chen Ou knew that Jessica had a crush on him.The second day she came to work, the housekeeper Martin told Chen Ou that Jessica asked him if Chen Ou had a girlfriend.Because Chen Ou has skipped grades continuously, even though he has graduated with a Ph.D., his actual age is still one year younger than Jessica.In Martin's eyes, the two are just right.

Jessica asked Chen Ou if she could be her boyfriend, on the third day of coming to work.The two were watching Ness swim in the pool from the shore.

Even though he had already prepared the answer, facing Jessica's bright smile like an apple blossom, Chen Ou still hesitated.Jessica immediately said sharply: "Ah, I'm broken in love."

Chen Ou was amused and laughed.

Then they had a long discussion about how to move Nice's main event venue from the water to the ground.

☆、Memories and reality

The grown-up Ness vividly remembers the day when he first recognized the solid touch of land as opposed to pool water.

The man did not appear at dusk.He heard voices and collisions outside, but he didn't pay attention.For him, the space in the bubble house is his universe, and the pool is his earth.

But the man didn't come, and he felt very uncomfortable and decided to go back to the water for peace and comfort.

Then he heard two voices: "Nice! Nice!"

One voice came from a familiar man, and the other came from the woman who had been playing with him for the past few days.Nice likes a woman's soft embrace and crisp laughter.

Nice often heard them calling this name, knowing that it was calling himself, and usually when he heard this call, he would swim ashore, get into the soft clothes the man had prepared for him, and the three of them would have dinner together.But the sound came from outside the air membrane, a strange land that Nice had never set foot in, and there was no food on the shore.Nice decided to ignore the two voices, he jumped into the pool, the thick layer of water opened and closed above his head, like a warm embrace, isolating the outside air.The faint yellow light from the roof refracted into the water, scattered into a piece of fine crystal light.

However, the sound was not interrupted by the isolation of the water, but became clearer.

"Nice! Nice!"

The voice was full of joy, full of eager invitation.Nice stayed in the water until he couldn't bear it, and then jumped out of the water.That's right, it's not an illusion, the sound is louder, accompanied by a strong aroma.

Nice sniffed, and jumped ashore with both hands.The strong smell is roast chicken, and the sweet smell is baked cakes, both of which are his favorite foods.He hesitantly walked to the shore, stepped on the edge of the path paved with wooden planks, and looked out of the air membrane.

A big shelf was set up outside, with a mat at the bottom, on which the woman kept jumping, rolling, laughing, and calling his name in a singing voice.The men sat on one side, and in front of them was a low table with their dinner, roasted chicken with herbs, baked chicken cakes, and milk.The perfect dinner.

Nice tentatively took a step outside the plank, and stepped onto the grass barefoot.

The grass is softer than the boardwalk, harder than the water in the pool, and the grass on the bottom of the feet is prickly.Nice staggered, and for a moment he wanted to get back into the pool, but then the man turned his head, smiled in surprise, and opened his arms to him.

Nice was still aggrieved, but he liked seeing men smile brightly, so he staggered a few steps, and plunged headfirst into the middle of the dinner plates.

Then, he became obsessed with the so-called "trampoline" game in the yard.When he opened his arms and bounced high, and the air passed under his armpits, he couldn't help but think of the silhouette of seagulls flying across the sky.

***

(Reality)

The professor turned the wheelchair, slowly came out of the bedroom, and looked at Chen Ou and Nice on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows through the railing on the second floor. They were silent, each staring at a place in front of them, not looking at each other, but shoulders together.

How strange that I didn't realize that they were not only similar in appearance, but also similar in experience: the same outstanding intelligence, the same ignorance of their biological parents, raised by single men, and the most important part of their life experiences lacked the care of women.The professor thought, and then he understood the answer: Chen Ou is unique to him, and it is impossible for him to think that someone is similar to Chen Ou.

God has punished me severely for my arrogance and selfishness, and every day for the rest of my life from this day forward, I will be in fear of losing my beloved child.The professor watched the two of them silently for a while, then turned the wheelchair to the direction of the study.

***

(Memories)

"You adopted a child, and my lawn lost a large area and became a swimming pool. After you adopted another girl, my little lawn became a park playground." The professor said angrily, Refusing to look at Chen Ou with an apologetic smile on his face.

But Chen Ou had his own way. He hugged the professor and kissed his white hair.

"I'll give you back the beautiful lawn, and the beautiful sheepshoe tree," he promised.

"How long?" the professor said unhappily, pretending not to be soft on Chen Ou's coquettishness, "Ten years? 20 years? When I bought this house, I planned to spend the rest of the year in the fall of sheep's hooves, but now I can't Not accepting that your home is turned into a playground - by the way, you also bought a dolphin headgear - what's next, am I going to put on a cartoon costume to amuse your little monster?"

However, Chen Ou slid down, leaned on the professor's wheelchair, and closed his eyes.

"Go to the bedroom and sleep," the professor supported Chen Ou's head so that he would not slip to the ground, and rang the bell to call the housekeeper Martin, disgustingly said, "People in their 20s play trampolines until dawn, I really doubt you If you soak too much water, your IQ will relapse.”

The night before, Chen Ou and Nice jumped and danced until dawn.In the morning Martin had to apologize to the neighbors for sending homemade snacks.The exhausted Nice was carried to the bed in his bedroom by Chen Ou, and he came down to have breakfast with the professor.

"This is a breakthrough, Professor!" Chen Ou was too tired to open his eyes, but still said excitedly, "He left the pool voluntarily and didn't go back all night! Jessica is a genius , it was her idea to lure Nice out with food and games."

"Yes, yes, I can understand." The professor handed Chen Ou to Martin, and followed behind in a wheelchair, "When God saw the first monkey come down from the tree and walk upright, the old man would probably jump up and down too. Tossing around midnight."

They entered Chen Ou's bedroom and found that Nice had spread out into a big character, occupying the entire bed.There was no way not to wake him up.Chen Ou took two pillows and lay on the carpet, and said with a smile: "Nice spent the first night on the Simmons mattress, don't wake him up."

At first, Nice was not used to his new residence and always wanted to go back to the pool.Chen Ou put a lot of toys in the bedroom to attract his attention. There are boats that can spray steam, building blocks of different shapes, and plush dolls such as dolphins, starfish, and seahorses bought from the underwater park.The bed sheets and quilts have also been replaced by bright colors such as orange and red that children like.Nice used the Simmons mattress as a trampoline for jumping, and Chen Ou simply dismantled the bed and put the mattress directly on the carpet to prevent him from falling off the bed when he was jumping around.

"The layout of your room is becoming more and more like a child pornography maniac." When the professor came to visit, Niss was laughing and jumping on the mat, and Chen Ou was lying on the side reading a book, with one arm raised, ready to receive Live in Nice where you may fall down at any time.

"Professor, don't say that you didn't do this for me when I was a child." Chen Ou quickly caught a plush starfish that Nice threw at the professor.

The professor narrowed his eyes. "I didn't lower my aesthetic taste for you." He said sourly.

"In that case, I will be very, very sad, you don't love me as much as I imagined." Chen Ou hugged Nice.Seeing that the starfish didn't throw it back to him, he lost his temper and rushed over to punch and kick Chen Ou.

"Grumpy doll." Chen Ou kissed Niss on the forehead, "Jessica said Niss feels insecure and needs more hugs and kisses."

He was then punched in the corner of the eye by Nice.

"Yes, it's so obvious that lack of security leads to violent tendencies." The professor said blankly, wiping the tears from the corners of Chen Ou's eyes.

***

The first night after taking Nice to his bedroom, Chen Ou collapsed.

In the middle of the night, the professor woke up with a start and found Chen Ou standing at the door in his pajamas, the dim aisle lights illuminating him very tall.

"Uh..." Chen Ou said, "Can I come and sleep with you? Jessica is in the guest room, and the bed in the other room has not been made. The sofa downstairs is a bit hard."

The professor lives a frugal life, but treats Chen Ou like a prince, and develops the habit of paying attention to the details of life.The professor rubbed his eyes and asked, "Uncomfortable on the ground?"

"No..." Chen Ou didn't want to say it.The professor sighed and said, "Come on."

Chen Ou didn't move.

"Can I get a set of your pajamas?" he asked awkwardly.

"Did the child piss on your pajamas?" asked the professor hopelessly.

"No." Chen Ou said, "He defecated on my bed."

Then the two made an "evil" sound together, the professor's cleanliness was worse than Chen Ou's.

How to teach a five-year-old boy to use the toilet?Chen Ou was very sad.None of the family members, the professor, him, Jessica, had ever been parents.The only one with experience as a parent is Martin, the housekeeper, whose son is already in secondary school.He offers his own experience.

"Beat him." He said confidently, "My kid used to wet the bed a lot, and once he peed and beat him, it stopped after a few times."

"Fuck you." Chen Ou said.

"Go away," Jessica said.

"No swearing," said the professor sternly, "you two."

Jessica's suggestion: "How you taught him to eat before, teach him how to use the toilet now."

Chen Ou would rather die than be watched by others, so he turned to the professor for support.

"Don't talk about eating and pooping together, girls are so rude." The professor criticized Jessica, and then said, "Good idea."

"Speaking of which, why did you only think about how the child defecated?" the housekeeper asked vengefully, "Where did he defecate a few days ago?"

Chen Ou and Jessica looked at each other.The two who had swum in the pool more than once made "evil" vomiting sounds at the same time.

Chen Ou humbly asked others on the Internet "how to train children to use the toilet". Except for a few replies of "What? A five-year-old child can't use the toilet?", most people gave very enthusiastic advice.

Chen Ou bought a beautiful plastic toilet, put it on a powder blue toilet trap, and put it next to the toilet in the bathroom.

"Listen to me," he said to Ness, sitting on the toilet with his pants pulled down between his legs, "do like me and sit on the toilet."

Nice giggled and wriggled.Chen Ou was holding the pants in one hand, and it was difficult to hold the child with the other.

"I said, besides watching me defecate, is anyone here willing to help?" Chen Ou said to the housekeeper and professor who were standing by the bathroom door.Jessica was reserved and didn't come over, but she also listened to the excitement next door.

The housekeeper pressed Niss on the toilet with one hand, and said comfortingly, "Shh, hush." ​​He brought Niss three meals a day, and Niss no longer rejected him.

Then Chen Ou and Nice held their breath at the same time and made a "hmm" sound.Chen Ou is an exaggerated demonstration.Nice is learning from him.The professor looked at it for a while, and pointed out: "He is just playing, and he doesn't understand what he is doing."

"He will understand right away, I promise." Chen Ou said confidently. "He hasn't had a bowel movement today."

"Children don't defecate every day." Jessica said loudly from the next door. "Because they drink less water and absorb quickly, many children only defecate once every two days."

The professor said: "Since Chen Ou said he can defecate, he will definitely defecate. I believe in Chen Ou's ability to arrange biological experiments."

Chen Ou said: "I did feed him an extra banana and a glass of milk for breakfast - God, Jessica, can you go away!"

Jessica giggled and went downstairs.Then a bad smell came out of the bathroom.The three stared at Nice.The professor said: "Martin, prepare more leafy vegetables for him in the future, and less starchy tuber foods."

Martin pushed the professor away and said, "I'm going to prepare right now."

Chen Ou suddenly realized that he needed to wipe Nice's ass, and he was terrified because of his cleanliness.

"Anyone here to help clean up the kids?" he yelled downstairs, "Double the Christmas presents this year!"

He was answered only by the butler's laugh and Jessica humming "Poor Daddy."

A week later, Nice was comfortable using the kiddie toilet, but still sometimes peed on the mattress.Chen Ou sensibly replaced the Kingsize mattress with two single mattresses, and Nice and him each had one.It didn't help, because Nice liked to fight with him for pillows and quilts, and rolled around on his mattress, sleeping soundly with his arms around him.So Chen Ou also gradually accepted the fate of sometimes being awakened by cold and wet sheets in the middle of the night.

"You won't be able to shoot 'cannons' like this." Jessica pointed out objectively.

"Go away." Chen Ou said.

☆, memory

Jessica now teaches children to speak and read.She expressed amazement at the child's learning progress.

"Did you know?" She said excitedly to Chen Ou, "He is so smart that he memorized 26 English letters in one week! It only took one week! He can read and write, all in one session!"

"Really?" Chen Ou had no idea about the literacy progress of ordinary six-year-old children, and asked the professor with his eyes closed, "How long did it take me to recognize the whole alphabet?"

The professor thought for a while: "It's about a week, when you are less than three years old."

Jessica turned and left.

When Nice passed his seventh birthday, he was basically able to speak some words fluently and carry out simple daily conversations.Considering his origin, the achievement is nothing short of miraculous.And his temper calmed down day by day, and he was no longer irritable.Jessica recorded him a children's science program about marine life, and he could watch it quietly all day.

"He has finished reading "Ocean ABC", "Knowing the Deep Sea", "Museum of Marine Biology", and "Children's Ocean Science Knowledge Encyclopedia". Next, he can only read "Oxford Ocean Encyclopedia Visual Encyclopedia." Half of Jessica complained Said half proudly.

At this time, Chen Ou had become a formal researcher, published several papers, accumulated a lot of fame in the industry, and his salary went up several steps.He nodded and said, "I'm going to order a set."

Jessica shook her head and said, "That's not a problem. The point is—God, Chen, you really didn't remember? He should go to school, or you will be sued."

According to local regulations, the starting age for compulsory education is seven years old, and under special circumstances, you can apply to the education system to delay enrollment.Chen Ou is a special case. He was personally enlightened by a professor. He passed the IQ and knowledge tests at the age of seven and reached the level equivalent to the first grade of a local middle school.Therefore, relying on a certificate of "extraordinary intelligence", Chen Ou obtained permission to go to school at an irregular age.As a condition, he must go to the psychological center designated by the Education Bureau at the end of each semester to check whether the psychosocial personality is developing normally.

Chen Ou and Jessica know very well that Nice is very smart.But the problem is that compared with children of the same age, Nice is far behind in listening, speaking, reading and writing, communication skills, and even self-care ability.They couldn't guarantee that Nice would get along well with the kids at school.

"He can use the toilet, he can dress himself, he can eat with a knife and fork. He just hasn't seen the outside world much," Jessica said.

"He can understand our words and speak simple words." Chen Ou said.

The professor didn't speak, feeling that discussing these mother-in-laws insulted his IQ.

"But he never played with the other kids," said the steward.

Chen Ou took out the calendar and said, "I can take the children to the park for an hour every day."

Jessica said with experience: "Children of this age are in kindergarten, and there are only a group of strollers in the park."

Nice rushed over and threw himself into Chen Ou's arms, his little face flushed red from the strenuous activity, and handed him a leaf from the yard.

"Yezi!" He looked up at Chen Ou eagerly.Chen Ou kissed his forehead.Nice laughed and clapped his hands, pushed Chen Ou away and ran away.

Jessica looked at Chen Ou: "And he hardly plays with anyone other than you and me." She pointed out pertinently.Chen Ou pondered, this is indeed a problem.

Chen Ou decided to try to take Nice out of the house.On the weekend, he and Jessica prepared a lot of food and water, and drove the professor, Martin and Nice to the country park.The park is far away from the urban area, the scenery is ordinary, and there are few tourists.But it has a sea wall and can see the endless sea.

Chen Ou and Martin are responsible for carrying food and water, and Jessica is responsible for taking care of Nisi.The professor looked at the sea alone.It was the first time Ness was in such a wide open air, and he was so happy that he ran around like a child, and Jessica could hardly catch him.

"Keep him away from the seawall!" Chen Ou shouted at Jessica from a distance.

Chen Ou has not been so relaxed for a long time.Since taking in Nice, he has devoted his leisure time to the child.The professor smiled and looked at Chen Ou stretching on the ground, and said, "I haven't heard you read poetry for a long time."

Chen Ou took the poetry collection from the professor and read:

"Oh, let me see you, everywhere I go!

"If common beauty kindles the fire of the soul,

"Your brilliance will reveal how dim it is;

"Desire is burning for you, as if in the wind of heaven."

He stopped and listened anxiously.

"Where did they go, Jessica?"

The professor frowned at him.He continued to read:

"You chained me with time, blocked the way to bliss,

"I am hunchbacked and decrepit, condemned to endless wandering, heavy physical bondage, and no forgiveness.

"How can I escape from this life!"

He stopped again, feeling a little uneasy.

"I still have to find them..." he started, stopping abruptly.A tall middle-aged man walked over with Jessica and Nice.

"Hello, I'm Jessica's friend. I haven't seen her since graduation. I happened to meet her, so I chatted a little more."

Jessica's face was red, and she didn't dare to look directly at Chen Ou.The man didn't stay long, and left after a few polite words.

A few days later, Jessica found an opportunity to talk to Chen Ou alone.

"I have to go," she said with a sad smile. "My family decided to move to the next state."

That man was a member of the Lewis Group, and he was sincere to Jessica, but his wife was very strong and his family background was deep.He can't get a divorce.

Chen Ou looked at Jessica carefully, her eyes showed signs of crying.

"If only I could..." he started, but was cut off, and Jessica said quickly, "No! I can take care of myself!"

She stepped forward and hugged Chen Ou, and kissed him gently.Chen Ou didn't move at all, full of frustration and helplessness.Nice stood by, tilting his head and looking at them.

After Jessica left, Chen Ou was depressed for several days.The professor enlightened him: "Everyone has their own life trajectory. The genetic code determines the character, and the character determines the destiny. Speaking of which, how do you plan to arrange the study in Nice?"

Jessica was gone, and no one taught Nice to read and write.

Chen Ou asked the professor tentatively: "Can you teach? Just for a while every day, teach him to say a few words, a few words. I will teach him well when I come back at night."

The professor gave a loud "hum", expressing his disdain for this task.

Three days later, Martin, the housekeeper, informed Chen Ou that the professor was teaching Milton in Nice.

"The Creator,

Did I ask you,

with soil

Make me a man?

Have I begged you,

Lead me out of darkness? "

Chen Ou said helplessly: "Let's be happy with the professor." As long as the old and the young get along well, he thought.

The author has something to say: The first two impressions of this chapter should come from "Selected Poems of Michelangelo", because there is no information at hand, and the version will be completed after checking.

☆, memory

The clever Nice soon discovered the biggest difference between the professor and Chen Ou and Jessica: the professor didn't like him.

When Jessica taught him to read, she patiently told him the story with a picture book, taught him to read aloud word by word, explained the meaning of each word to him, and finally taught him to write each word with a pen.

The homework is not complicated, and he likes Jessica's soft and surprising voice.In order to get her encouraging kiss on his forehead, he patiently practiced a few simple vocabulary with Jessica.

After Jessica left, the professor took over his education and read Milton for three days.

"Chen Ou could recite Shakespeare's sonnets completely when he was seven years old." The professor looked at the book without looking at him.

Nice didn't know what Shakespeare and sonnets were, but he knew that the person in front of him mocked him for being inferior to Chen Ou.He desperately memorized every syllable he heard, even though he had no idea what it meant.At night, Chen Ou looked at him with complicated eyes, distressed, helpless, and guilty.

"Just chat with the professor for me." Chen Ou whispered in his ear, "You don't have to force your homework, I know you are actually very smart."

The professor took a break early.Every night, Chen Ou takes a blank paper notebook, draws angels and the Garden of Eden, and retells the lessons of the day to Niss. The voice of reciting poems is like the lingling clear sound made by the collision of silver cake knives and white porcelain bone plates.

On the fourth day, Nis stubbornly refused to go downstairs to have breakfast. Chen Ou managed to put on his clothes, but he took them off and threw them on the ground.The professor shouted from below: "Chen Ou! You're going to be late soon!"

Chen Ou kissed Nice on the cheek and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nice doesn’t speak. He learned bread, sausage and carrot from Jessica, and the angel, devil, and garden of Eden from the professor. Those words are not enough to describe such a complicated psychological activity as weariness.

Chen Ou sighed, leaned over and picked up Nice.He asked for a leave of absence from the laboratory, and accompanied Nice at home to listen to the professor's lecture on "Milton".This day, Niss was much more lively than usual. He broke out after a while of class, and crawled presumptuously into Chen Ou's arms, pressing his small face tightly against his cheek.Martin, the butler, brought tea and said with a smile, "This kid is only close to you."

Children who enjoy love are qualified to be willful.Chen Ou said: "I'm used to him." But he hugged Nice's warm little body and pretended not to see the professor's gloomy face.

The professor hastily finished his lunch and went upstairs to rest. Usually, he would bask in the sun for a while under the floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoy the after-dinner coffee.

Chen Ou is worried, the old and the young are good at cold violence, he is caught in the middle, what can we do?

Martin, who saw everything in his eyes, said: "We still have to find a professional preschool tutor."

They have advertised, but most of the people who apply think that Nice is a mentally handicapped child, because he is seven years old.
