When the magic flower blooms

With the sound of "Baby", Ming Ruoxing seemed to have a tongue sticking out of his ear, which made him almost drop his phone.

"Who is your baby!" He blushed and bluffed.

"Whoever agrees is the one." He Tiansi said cheekily, "If you don't like it, I can change it to something else."

It was the first time Ming Ruoxing was called that by someone other than his own mother.Even though he had done more intimate things, this little nickname still made him blush and his heart beat endlessly.

"...shameless!" He deliberately bluffed, "How can you say such things in front of so many children?!"

He Tiansi was still not serious: "Don't worry, those brats are eating. Besides, they are not our children, why are you so anxious?"

The corner of Ming Ruoxing's mouth twitched twice, not knowing whether he should find it funny or scold him.

"You're dead, I just decided to continue leaving you in Chuntongyuan."

There seemed to be a gasping sound on the other end of the phone, but after all, He Tiansi is no longer the idiot that Ming Ruoxing casually frightened him back then.

"It's okay, then I'll tell those little kids that the second son of the Minister of Justice's family fell in love with the village grass of Jinyu Village. He is planning to get married this winter, and invite their whole family to Jinyu Village for a wedding. What do you say?" OK?"

"You scoundrel! Return the village grass!"

Ming Ruoxing was really laughed at by him, wishing he could reach into the phone and punch him.

"Don't talk nonsense with you, you'd better just wait for me and don't cause trouble. I will take you to the next place at noon tomorrow."

He Tiansi was overjoyed: "Really? Where is the next place? Are you going to see your teacher?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you will know when the time comes."

Ignoring He Tiansi's series of questioning, Ming Ruoxing decisively hung up the sticky phone call.

Anyway, we can meet tomorrow, let's starve this bastard first, and see how far he can "extraordinarily perform" tomorrow.

Ming Ruoxing secretly looked forward to it.

-

Anyway, Chuntong Courtyard was still a bit "human". He arranged a single room for He Tiansi at night, and didn't let him continue to sleep in a small bed with those little monsters in the same room.

But later, He Tiansi wanted to flirt with Ming Ruoxing again, but he couldn't get through to the other party's mobile phone no matter what.

With nothing to do and nothing to say, he just tossed and turned for most of the night.The next day I woke up early again, since lying down was boring anyway, so I just got up and went to the yard to find something to do.

First, sweep the courtyard, then help the food delivery truck from the town to carry the lunch boxes, and then run to help the group of little kids get up and get dressed, wash their faces and brush their teeth.

After breakfast, there was still more than half an hour before the start of class. The children finally woke up from their sleepiness, and one after another began to jump up and down, making the yard uneasy.

Unable to offend but able to hide, He Tiansi fell in love with an old weeping locust tree in the yard with dense branches and leaves like a big bell.He hid in and wanted to send some messages to Ming Ruoxing.Unexpectedly, there was already a villain sitting under the tree.

He is the shortest of the seven children, and his name seems to be Xiaoyun.He Tiansi noticed yesterday that this kid is a little out of sorts, and the reason is not difficult to understand - because he is the only one who came from the Asian Orphanage.

Maybe it's because of having no father and no mother, He Tiansi has a special affection for this unique little orphan.

"Little brother, what do you want?" He went up to talk.

Xiaoyun hugged his knees, frowning seriously, and ignored him.

He Tiansi continued to find nothing to say: "I introduced myself yesterday morning. Everyone mentioned their genes. Why did you keep silent, so that other people would guess wildly."

Xiaoyun finally glanced at him: "Then why do you call yourself a pheasant?"

"Because it's the truth. Although it's not a lion or a tiger, it's still a part of me. If you don't face it honestly, you'll never pass the test in your heart. What do you think?"

For a six-year-old boy, these words may still be a little esoteric.Xiao Yun frowned and remained silent for a while, then suddenly shook her head vigorously.

"I don't know. The children who grow up in our orphanage don't know what their genes are."

"why?"

"Because the teacher said that we live a collective life, so many children stay together from morning to night, just like brothers and sisters, there is no distinction between high and low, so the issue of blood is forbidden in the orphanage."

"But it's not right."

He Tiansi actually started discussing seriously, "Can't a demihuman be transformed into an animal? Doesn't this transformation make him know what he is?"

"There are very few demihumans who can turn into animals from an early age!"

Xiaoyun seemed to be sizing up a different kind: "Like ordinary builders, even if they are talented, they have to be taught by the gentlemen on Yinshan to transform smoothly. A kid like me who ran out of an orphanage, hehe , don’t even think about it.”

"But haven't you been sent to the mountain?" He Tiansi tried to encourage him, "Maybe it's because you are talented, so you want the gentlemen to teach you how to transform?"

"..."

Xiaoyun finally showed a naive look full of anticipation like a normal six-year-old boy.But this innocence is fleeting.

"No, it's not because I'm talented or something."

His voice sank along with his head, "They sent me up the mountain to avoid my parents."

"You have parents?" He Tiansi couldn't understand again: "Then why are you still living in the orphanage?"

"They didn't want me first."

Xiaoyun's words opened a door to a new world for He Tiansi.

It turns out that different from the ordinary society with population expansion and tight welfare, the sub-human society with low birth rate and high welfare has adopted an extremely intriguing policy: parents are allowed to hand over their biological children to orphanages opened by the government, but only if they are kept for one month. After the cooling-off period, parents will permanently lose their custody, visitation rights, and maintenance rights after old age.

And those children who have suffered domestic violence also have the opportunity to leave their original families and transfer to orphanages to wait for adoption by other families.

Xiaoyun is such a child who was voluntarily abandoned by his family.Not long after he was born, he was sent to an orphanage by his parents on the grounds that his genes did not meet family expectations.

After six years, his family came to him again recently, wanting to get their child back.Only then did the hospital send him up the mountain to escape.

When these things were mentioned, Xiaoyun became visibly depressed again.

He Tiansi couldn't figure out the ethics and right and wrong of these sub-human societies, he sighed inwardly, and patted Xiaoyun's back lightly.

"Big Brother doesn't seem to have anything to help you, but Big Brother has a good friend who can identify genes, do you want to try it?"

"Really?" Xiaoyun's eyes widened, "But I heard that it takes a lot of money to do an appraisal."

"No need. I was tested by him at the time, and he tasted a drop of my blood."

Xiaoyun looked at him in astonishment, and smiled wryly after a while.

"Big brother, the teacher at our orphanage said that scientific genetic identification is very, very complicated, and it will take half a day to complete it at the fastest. You...couldn't be cheated by that friend?"

After saying this, the school bell rang in the distance.

Xiaoyun got up and jumped off the flower bed, thought for a while and then turned around, patted He Tiansi's knee like a little adult to comfort him.Only He Tiansi was left alone in a semi-petrified state, in a daze, thoughtful.

-

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ming Ruoxing, who set off from Yanchi Peak, returned to Chuntong Court on time to claim the overage child He Tiansi who was "entrusted" here.

However, it was different from what he had expected. After the meeting, He Tiansi neither dragged him to talk endlessly nor poured out bitterness. Instead, he remained taciturn.

Although Ming Ruoxing was a little curious, but he was in a hurry to go and didn't ask in a hurry. He just asked He Tiansi to carry the mountaineering bag and continue walking with him.

The two said goodbye to Mr. Ai, left Chuntong Courtyard through the back door, and walked around a slippery path to the shaded side of the mountain.

The path came to an abrupt end before a cliff.About [-] meters northwest of the cliff, another mountain rises from the ground. The two peaks are connected by a cable suspension bridge, and under the bridge is a deep valley.

Their task now is to cross the bridge.

If it was normal, He Tiansi would definitely stop and act like a demon before crossing the bridge.Whether it's acting like a baby or boasting, it's all about doing something to attract Ming Ruoxing's attention.

But right now, he didn't say a word, and stepped onto the iron bridge.

Each of the chains on the iron bridge was as thick as an adult's arm, and there were half-inch-thick planks between the chains, so it should have weighed a hundred tons.But when people walked up, they still wobbled.And the further you go to the middle of the bridge, the stronger the air convection at high altitude.The strong wind howled and blew from the side, to the point where people couldn't even open their eyes.

When a normal person encounters this situation, even if he is not afraid, he has to stop and take a breath.But He Tiansi was astonishingly daring, not only walked on flat ground, but also deliberately stopped in the middle of the walk, and glanced towards the bottom of the valley.

Not knowing what was going on in his head, Ming Ruoxing became a little worried, walked two steps to his side, grabbed his arm with one hand, and walked the rest of the way step by step.

Finally, they reached the other side of the bridge safely, but Ming Ruoxing still held onto He Tiansi and did not let go. The two walked out of the cliff platform connected to the suspension bridge and entered the relatively safe woods.

There was an open space deep in the woods.On the ground, a huge Go board was assembled with square bluestone slabs.Chess pieces of basalt and white marble are arranged on it, and there is a huge drum-shaped rock on the left and right sides of the chessboard, which resembles a chess basket.

Just like that, the two of them stood still on this chess game between heaven and man.

"What's wrong?" Ming Ruoxing asked He Tiansi directly: "Did something happen in the academy?"

He Tiansi hesitated to speak, which was extremely rare: "Forget it, it's not a big deal, the most important thing is to hurry."

Ming Ruoxing pressed his shoulder.

"The mountain road ahead is more dangerous, and accidents may happen if you don't concentrate. You should explain the matter clearly before you go. Otherwise, you will go back the same way."

Seeing his resolute attitude, He Tiansi stretched out his hand and rubbed his wind-torn hair, looked around first, then sighed.

"You asked for it, so I'll just say it straight - why did you lie to me?"

"Lie to you?"

Ming Ruoxing's heart skipped a beat, and many suspicious answers appeared in an instant.

But he soon realized that He Tiansi, a fine man, was most likely trying to set his own words.

So he decisively dropped the topic back.

"What did I lie to you? Make it clear."
