we want to be happy

Wen Xiaobei didn't know how big this city was.

Before being sent to the research institute, he and Xiao Nan were only 11 years old. In the impression, the bus at the door of their house seemed to go everywhere. In fact, it was just because they were still young at that time and could not go to many places.

Home is a somewhat unfamiliar word to him.

Maybe his home is in this city, maybe not.

Maybe he was a northerner, maybe not.

Maybe mom and dad didn't dump them because they were "weird"...maybe.

In his current memory, the clearest impression is that the institute is safe and comfortable, with food and drinks, and many researchers who are very kind to them.

He wanted to go back to the research institute, he wanted to take Xiao Nan back.

Now, he just wants to find a quiet place with no people as soon as possible, so that Xiao Nan can rest.

However, in this city, finding a place without people is almost a luxury.

Xiaobei carried Xiaonan on his back and kept walking, and he asked the aunt who was looking at the face on the side of the road, "I want to go to the suburbs, how far is it?"

"Then you have to go out for about ten kilometers, boy, why are you going?"

Xiao Nan moved restlessly on his back, Xiao Bei thanked Aunt Guo and strode away quickly.

Wen Xiaonan struggled to pull out the cloth stuffed in his mouth, "Brother... that person thinks we are liars and blind people..."

"Shh~~ Got it. Don't talk, I'll take you to the suburbs, let's find a way to contact the people in the institute."

"Brother, what is blind flow?"

Wen Xiaobei didn't know either, he only knew that Xiao Nan was covered in sweat, lying limply on his body, he must be very uncomfortable.

"Brother, we are not liars, no."

Wen Xiaobei didn't speak, he was very tired, both physically and mentally.I found a stone chair next to the green belt with relatively few people on the side of the road, and sat down with my brother to rest.

Xiao Nan lay on her brother's lap and cried secretly.

Along the way, he heard all kinds of voices, all kinds of annoying guesses.Liar, tramp, beggar, must have drunk too much, not learning well at a young age...

Why does everyone think of them as bad?

Uncle Wang said he would give them "freedom". Is this freedom?Then why did Uncle Wang abandon them and run away when someone came to catch them?

"Brother, it would be great if we were brought back by the doctor."

Wen Xiaobei scratched his head, "Yes, we will have something to eat when we go back."

"Brother, are you hungry?"

"are you not hungry?"

The brothers fell silent.

Hungry, for sure.Since they were taken out of the research institute, got into the car arranged by Yuan Ye, were intercepted and chased halfway, and then dragged by Uncle Wang to run on foot, until they arrived in the city, they hadn't eaten for half a day and a whole night.

Yuan Ye and the others talked about freedom, belief, and responsibility. The two of them only knew a little about it, and they didn't have much interest.Now they just want to find something to eat, they're hungry...

Wen Xiaobei is a good boy with physical strength and perseverance.If he can't find the way back to the research institute for the time being, he must first find a way to get his brother to eat.

Although they have lived in the institute for a long time, he still remembers what "money" is.Unknowingly, the string in his head skipped a beat, and he remembered that in the elementary school morality class, the teacher taught everyone not to steal things, and to give up money.

Wen Xiaobei really wants to be "smell" now, but it's a pity that there is no "gold" for him to pick up...

Therefore, according to his thinking, since the roads in the city are so wide, there are so many people, and there is no money to pick up, then his determination to take his brother to the suburbs becomes stronger.

In the suburbs, not only are there few people, but there are also vegetable fields, right?Will there be an orchard?Maybe he can help the farmer uncle weed, and then exchange a cabbage or a few carrots?

"Brother, I don't like carrots..."

With Wen Xiaobei's determination to "go to the end in one direction" and his unremitting efforts, they have gradually left the downtown area.The surrounding environment is dominated by residential areas, there are fewer pedestrians on the street, and Xiao Nan has become more energetic, and he can even joke with his brother.

Wen Xiaobei patted his younger brother on the back, "Come down and walk for a while, my waist is about to break."

Just stop and go like this, I don't know how long it took, the sky became overcast.

In the bright sky in the morning, a lot of dark clouds gathered, and scattered raindrops had already fallen.There are fewer people on the street. Occasionally, those who pass by in a hurry rush home to avoid heavy rain.

Wen Xiaobei looked around, complaining in his heart why some fruit trees were not planted in the city for greening, trees with only leaves are so boring~

There are flowers on the side of the road, but the flowers cannot be eaten.

There is grass in the green belt, and they are not rabbits...

Tilting her head to look at Xiao Nan, she put her arms around his shoulders, "Why are you crying?"

"Brother, I'm hungry, my whole body hurts from hunger."

Wen Xiaobei silently pressed his deflated stomach, cheered up and made cakes for his brother to satisfy his hunger: "I heard Teacher Xu said that there are many orchards and vegetable fields around our city, and there are all kinds of delicious fruits. Let's hurry up and help people do some work in the suburbs, maybe we can get some fruit in exchange."

Wen Xiaonan licked his lips, opened his round eyes, "Wow~ Fruits, what are there?"

"Well, there are strawberries, cherries, watermelons, peaches, apples, bananas..." Wen Xiaobei started talking nonsense.

Wen Xiaonan saw through his brother's nonsense at a glance, and smiled, "Teacher Xu didn't say there were bananas!"

Wen Xiaobei knocked his younger brother on the head, "Go!"

Of course there are no bananas, but the faculty really mentioned that there are cherries, and there is a cherry orchard outside their institute.

"Brother, let's hurry up and help with the work!"

Sure enough, it was raining heavily, but Wen Xiaobei and Wen Xiaonan couldn't care about these things now, they just looked in greedily through the barbed wire fence.There were bright red cherry fruits everywhere among the green leaves, and the two brothers swallowed in unison.

They actually went to the "suburbs", and really met a big cherry orchard.Although there are two rows of various car shops next to the orchard, there are almost no pedestrians on the entire wide road, and there are few buses.

Wen Xiaobei wiped the rainwater off his face, full of confidence, "Let's go!"

Cherry, here we come!

However, when the brothers happily rushed to the gate of the orchard, a group of people just came out.

The leading young woman held an umbrella and led a little boy about two years old, with a faint smile on her lips, "The cherries here are really good."

【You prodigal man! It costs 40 yuan a catty, and you have to pick it yourself.It's only fifteen pounds in the vegetable market downstairs in our house!Come if your brother asks you to come!How rich is your brother, can you compare? 】The man next to him said with a smile: "That's right, you still have to pick the ones yourself to eat them to be delicious, so you can rest assured."

[Hey, why is it 41 catties!It hurts! 】

A woman behind raised her eyebrows and drooped her eyelids and said with a smile, "Second brother, I didn't lie to you, did I? This orchard was opened by your brother and a friend. If it wasn't for the sake of acquaintances, they would all directly supply the leadership. Can't eat."

[Hmph, if you haven’t seen the world, you’ve never seen the world. It’s so distressing that the two are not in harmony, hahaha~] The man smiled and nodded, “Isn’t that right, I just said that the cherry is really good. It’s big and taste Well done, authentic!"

[Go home today and prepare to kneel on the washboard... Sigh~]

The young woman who came out first smiled, took her son and said to the women who came later: "Hongbo, did you enjoy playing with your sister and younger sister today? It's a pity that you don't have a younger brother or older brother to play with you, sister-in-law, you and your elder brother will do more together." Jin'er will give birth to a son so we Hongbo won't be so lonely~~"

【hum~】

[Dead woman!Having a son is amazing!I#@￥@%……]

The sister-in-law was cursing in her heart, but she could still smile, "Okay, I'll lend you a good word~"

Wen Xiaonan was already extremely fragile after being bombarded by such a dense flow of people in the city, now he is hungry and thirsty, and with the little energy he finally accumulated, he is full of joy thinking that he can eat sweet and juicy cherries. Unexpectedly, what greeted him was a scene of "house fighting family ethics drama" that didn't match his heart...

What's so good about reading minds?

Is mind reading awesome?

I was forced to hear a bunch of inexplicable complaints and cursing, as well as the inner wailing of that sad old man.Wen Xiaonan supported his brother's shoulders, his lips trembled, his eyes rolled up, and he fainted to the ground.

There is a high-end villa community behind this cherry orchard.

The front row is directly next to the cherry orchard, with the best view. In the largest and most luxurious villa, there is only one single man named Jian Shaoyong.

I played late yesterday with a few friends who are strong in business, and I only got up lazily at noon.

While brushing my teeth, I strolled to the wide balcony. The air in the drizzle was moist and fresh, which dispelled the impetuous noon in June.It's nice to breathe deeply and feel refreshed.

Now eight out of ten houses in the villa area are empty, and the owners have gone to work desperately, maybe they have to entertain various dinners at night, maybe there are some adult shows after the dinners?Heaven knows the earth, and Jian Shaoyong knows it too.

Anyway, this neighborhood is the busiest time at midnight.

After Jian Shaoyong finished washing, he leisurely released the ability that had been pent up all night. He played it slowly, listening to the thoughts of everyone around him one by one with great interest.

For example, there is a housewife in the villa two buildings to the left of his house. She is in her forties and loves animation and cartoons the most. She looks like a little girl every time she thinks about it.

The day before yesterday, I heard that she wanted to write a novel. Today, this eldest sister bought a set of painting tools from somewhere, and is challenging Van Gogh's "Sunflower"... Domineering!

The security guards in the community are still complaining about the lack of meat and vegetables in the lunch, and the property managers in the community are still gathering to fight landlords...

Suddenly, Jian Shaoyong opened his eyes that had been squinting.

He felt two energy fields different from ordinary people, one of which was actually similar to him.

Holding the balcony guardrail with both hands, Jian Shaoyong closed his eyes again.

To outsiders, he seemed to be feeling the fresh air brought by the light rain.In fact, he was manipulating his ability to quietly approach the two energy sources that aroused his interest.

Passing through a bunch of chattering crowd, oh~~ it turned out to be two young people.

One of them was anxious and worried, and the other... curled up helplessly on the ground, deep in his consciousness was fear, a deep fear that could not be ignored.

Jian Shaoyong opened his eyes, he was very familiar with this kind of fear.

So, he decided to be curious today.

A schnauzer with a natural "vicissitudes and bitter face" was squatting melancholy next to the shoe cabinet. When Jian Shaoyong put him on a dog leash, the dog was very sad, with his eyebrows and beard drooping.

Walking the dog in the rain, how unreliable and stupid it is!

Wen Xiaobei used his last stubborn strength to help his younger brother and pushed him away from the crowd of onlookers.

The rain was still falling, and it wet his and Xiao Nan's clothes finely and densely.

Looking up, it is a broad street and a gray sky.

He tried to find a place where he could shelter from the rain, but all the people in the car dealership on the side of the road pointed at them through the floor-to-ceiling glass.

Wen Xiaobei was at a loss.

Although he can't read minds, he can also understand the eyes of those people.Where should he go to get something to eat for Xiao Nan?Where can he go?Where is the institute?Where is the doctor?What should he do? !

The rain blurred his vision.

Wen Xiaonan struggled a bit, his brother's desperate thoughts were like a needle pricking his heart, his stomach contracted violently, he rushed to the side rolling and crawling, retching at the tree pit.

There are whispering voices all around, that is, people not far from them are still paying attention to them.

Wen Xiaonan covered his ears with his hands, he didn't want to hear it!He doesn't listen!

On the brink of collapse...

suddenly!

The world is quiet.

It was as quiet as returning to his small dormitory in the research institute.

Wen Xiaonan supported the tree trunk and raised his head.

In the drizzle, a man walked slowly holding a dark blue umbrella, followed by a dog with a "melancholy" face at his feet.

At this moment, the surroundings are not only quiet, but peaceful.Very reassuring tranquility, very reassuring...

Wen Xiaonan stared straight at the person walking towards him.

This is the first time since he accidentally obtained the ability to read minds, he can't hear any noise, can't see any pictures, and can't feel any thoughts that don't belong to him.

This feeling is like... being protected in an invisible hood.

Jian Shaoyong stood still in front of the young man who was staring at him blankly.

He likes the child's face, he likes the thoughts he read, the child's thoughts are very unified with his appearance, they are so pure.

Jian Shaoyong stared at Wen Xiaonan's eyes with a little fascination. The pair of brown eyes were clear and confused, which pleased him very much.

I couldn't help but raise his chin, and asked softly, "What's your name?"

The man in front of him was a type Wen Xiaonan had never seen before, he couldn't read the other person's thinking.Not blank, but fundamental, feeling, less than!

"I……"

"Woo~~ woof! woof!" The schnauzer who was drenched by the rain became more and more sad, his beard and eyebrows drooped wetly, and he growled and protested tremblingly.

Jian Shaoyong glanced at Gouzi, and Schnauzer shrank his head "wow".

The light rain is getting denser and tends to become bigger.

Jian Shaoyong has an unexpected interest in the two brothers he met today.Glancing at the young man who had been standing vigilantly beside him, he invaded his mind and scanned it quickly, then smiled.

It turned out that their names were Wen Xiaonan and Wen Xiaobei.

It turned out that they were forcibly taken out of the institute.

Fun, fun.

General Chen didn't even tell him that the research institute had found another person with mind-sensing abilities.

He was particularly interested in the child Wen Xiaonan.His ability is so pure, it's a waste of money to put it in the research institute~

Thinking of this, Jian Shaoyong took a small step back to relieve Wen Xiaonan's feeling of repulsion, and politely offered an invitation, "Come with me, go to my house, let me... take care of you."

Wen Xiaonan's reaction was - confused.

And Wen Xiaobei's whole body instantly exuded strong suspicion, and two large characters "ding" popped up on his head: Hooligan!

Jian Shaoyong calmly cast his nirvana: "My family has something to eat."

All kinds of food pictures popped up in the heads of the two brothers, and they switched quickly, like a slideshow.

Jian Shaoyong smiled, bent an arm and handed it to Wen Xiaonan, "Come?"

"elder brother……"

Wen Xiaobei pulled Xiao Nan away, took Jian Shaoyong's arm by himself, raised his chest and raised his head: "Let's go!"

Xiao Nan immediately hugged his brother's arm, and waited eagerly for Jian Shaoyong to lead the way.

Eat goods!

Jian Shaoyong calmly expanded the range of thinking shielding, and leaned slightly in a very gentlemanly manner, "Please follow me."

Wen Xiaobei was like a soldier who "will be willing to die after eating this meal", striding to keep up.

Wen Xiaonan began to wonder if there would be lollipops.

The Schnauzer following behind the three of them was still very melancholy...
