we want to be happy

With a notebook in between, Wen Xiaobei poked his head into the study on the first floor with a green apple in his mouth.

Xiao Nan and Mr. Jian were in a daze again.

Well, it's not in a daze. My younger brother explained to him yesterday that he was learning how to control his ability from Mr. Jian.But is the two of them studying together if they stay together in a daze?

Wen Xiaobei shrugged, gently closed the study door and walked into the living room.

Brother Natou, who was lying on the carpet disguised as a mop, raised his head in a jerk, and ran over erratically, circling around Wen Xiaobei, "Woo~ woof!"

"Out of dog food?"

Brother Natto shook his short tail, turned around and ran to the kennel in the corner of the living room to grab a tennis ball.

It turned out that Wen Xiaobei was asked to play with it.

This is easy to say.Wen Xiaobei killed the apple in a few mouthfuls, put down his notebook, and brought natto to the garden.Weighing the tennis ball, Natto's head shook up and down.

"Stupid dog! Haha~"

Throwing the tennis ball with a whoosh, Gouzi ran away happily, flicking his tongue.

Wen Xiaobei sat on the steps of the front porch, watching Natto poking its nose around in the grass. After a while, he ran back with the ball in his mouth, put the ball at Wen Xiaobei's feet, and grinned. Tongue pointed at him: "Hahaha~~" (Serious reminder: this is not the dog laughing, but the movement of it panting.)

Wen Xiaobei threw it again, this time it fell into a clump of roses.

Does this rose have thorns?

Not allowing him to think too much, the dog has already shot out like an arrow, and ran to the place with its buttocks pouted and its front paws scratching...

Wen Xiaobei stretched his neck and watched for a while.I thought to myself, it is estimated that this geographical location is more difficult for Brother Natto, let it go slowly.When I looked up, I found a wild cat with black and white flowers squatting on the fence, looking down at the silly dog ​​who was planing the dirt flying around with a wooden face.

"Meow~~Meow~~" Wen Xiaobei made an "affectionate" call to the wild cat: "Mimi, Mimi~"

The wild cat folded its front paws and lay on top of the wall, its eyes narrowed.

Wen Xiaobei: "Hey, I have dogs here... cat food."

Wildcat turned his head away.

Alas~~It’s so boring.

Wen Xiaobei propped his elbows on his knees, looking at his outstretched hands.The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the backs of my hands are itchy after a while.

Scratch through insulating gloves.It's okay not to scratch, the more you scratch, the more itchy!

Why?Anyway, there is no one here, so I just took off my gloves.However, there is still a dog here, um...just avoid it for a while, right?It might work?

Wen Xiaobei looked at the natto who was still digging the roses, then looked back at the empty living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bit his lip, and finally took off his gloves slowly.

Two very white hands were slowly raised in front of his eyes, Wen Xiaobei stared blankly.

The scorching sun in the summer morning is very bright, and it can even be said to be dazzling.Under such light, every pore on the back of the hand can be seen clearly, and when turned over, the palm prints on the palm of the hand are clear and vivid.

The fingers of the right hand gently pressed the palm of the left hand, which was very soft.

The wind passed between the fingers, taking away the thin sweat covered by the gloves.After a while, Wen Xiaobei twirled his fingers, they were dry and slippery...

that's nice!

So comfortable!

No longer as cautious as before, Wen Xiaobei quickly turned his palm a few more times, looking back and forth, as if he had never seen his own hand before.

In fact, when he was in the research institute, as long as there was no one around, he would often take off his gloves.But sitting in the sun without any scruples, letting the hands that have been suffocated in the gloves see the light happily - awesome!

Wen Xiaobei clapped his hands, bang bang bang, not puff puff with gloves on.Rub your hands together, prick, prick...

The stray cat lying on the wall basking in the sun vigilantly raised its head and stared at the person sitting on the steps.I saw the human being guessing fists with his left hand and his right hand, rock-paper-scissors... The wild cat's beard trembled and its ears moved.

Wen Xiaobei touched the stone steps sitting under his buttocks, but there was no response.I stood up and walked into the garden, squatted down, and poked the soil, but there was no response.

"Haha~" Wen Xiaobei danced with his hands and feet.

Brother Natto finally dug out the tennis ball and returned triumphantly with a mouthful of dirt.

"Hey, don't come here! I can't touch you now, go play by yourself."

Gouzi persistently put the tennis ball at Wen Xiaobei's feet, squatted down, and waited.

After the dog and man looked at each other for a few seconds, "... OK, I'm afraid of you, wait for me to put on my gloves."

I really don't want to bring it~

Schnauzer moved his ears, stretched out his nose and sniffed, then swished onto the steps, picked up his gloves and ran away.

"Hey! You can't take that! Hey, natto!"

Gouzi curled up a front leg with a glove in his mouth, and leaned forward like an arrow, ready to go.Hei Doudou's eyes were staring at Wen Xiaobei's movements, as soon as he lifted his foot, he immediately jumped out to a long distance, and then continued to turn into an arrow with its front paws curled up, waiting for him to catch...

The wild cat on the wall continued to watch the chasing battle between a man and a dog in the garden of this villa, and the round cat's head turned around.

Finally cornering Gouzi, Wen Xiaobei panted with one hand on his hip, "Put down your gloves, or I'll shock you into curly hair, believe it or not?"

Natto lowered his head and rolled his eyes to look at him pitifully.

Wen Xiaobei's heart softened, "Hey, put the gloves on the ground, and I'll reward you with a piece of dog chew."

Natto wagged his tail.

Wen Xiaobei smiled, "So cute...Natto!"

This dog is not good, Schnauzer is the worst!This was Wen Xiaobei's later conclusion.The damn Natto lied to him, played pity on him, then sneaked away while he let down his vigilance.

Wen Xiaobei drooped his shoulders and was helpless.He couldn't start to catch the dog. He passed by the study window and glanced at it just now. Xiao Nan and Mr. Jian were still having "spiritual friendship" there...

Don't chase, just let natto play with it, I guess it should be enough in a while.

Wen Xiaobei sat back on the steps, and watched helplessly as Natto got into the hole dug out for the rose bushes when he was planing tennis balls, and soil scum flew around again. After a while, Natto came out and turned his back Hua Cong kicked back.

It won't...Dig a hole to bury the gloves, right?

Wen Xiaobei rushed over with staring eyes.

Natto: "Wow!"

"It's useless to bark, go away!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Wen Xiaobei blocked the schnauzer that was rushing towards him with his feet, and reached out to dig out among the flowers.

stab...

The wild cat on the top of the wall fluffed up, and ran along the wall to the other side like flying.

Brother Natto turned around and ran away, running for ten meters before stopping to look back vigilantly.

Wen Xiaobei froze.

Mr. Jian's rose flower... was stunned by him, what should I do? ! !

Jian Shaoyong and Wen Xiaonan, who had been in a fugue state in the study room, burst out laughing at the same time.

"Your brother is really interesting."

Rubbing between his brows, Jian Shaoyong stood up and patted Xiao Nan on the head, "I have made progress today. Ability control requires strong willpower. You have done a good job. Take your time. I'll go see your brother .”

"Okay, thank you Mr. Jane."

Jian Shaoyong held the doorknob and turned his head, "Don't be so polite. Learning control can be practiced at any time as long as your physical strength allows. If you feel tired or dizzy, don't be brave, we have a lot of time."

"Ok."

Jian Shaoyong caught the flash of thought in Wen Xiaonan's mind, smiled slightly and turned to leave.

This kid is so strong, beyond his expectation...

Wen Xiaobei went to the kitchen to get a rolling pin, squatted on the ground, pulled apart the rose bushes, and dug out the gloves buried by the dog.

Shake it off, shake off the dirt, and put it on again.

"oops!"

Oops!A hole was bitten out of the glove!

"It seems that I need to ask Chen Cang to make some spare pairs for you." Jian Shaoyong put his hands in his trouser pockets and leaned leisurely against the pillars of the porch, "I don't know how long it will take to make such a pair of special insulating gloves, or , There is still a stock specially prepared for you at the research institute. But there is another method, maybe you can try it.”

Wen Xiaobei turned around in frustration.The doctor had warned him that this kind of glove was very expensive, and he was told to protect it carefully when it was sent to him, but it was still broken...

Jian Shaoyong showed a contemptuous smile, "Chen Cang, like his father, is a stingy idiot. He doesn't know that money is not saved, but earned."

Wen Xiaobei lowered his face, "Doctors are not stupid!"

Jian Shaoyong shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, "This question is not worth discussing." Facts are facts, what's the point of discussing?

"It's the trouble you are facing now, what should you do? Do you want to try my method?"

Wen Xiaobei regained his energy, "Are you going to teach me how to control the electric current?"

"clever."

It's been three days!Finally it's his turn!

Wen Xiaobei sat straight in front of the large operating table in the kitchen, with his hands on the marble table.

Opposite him, Jian Shaoyong lit a cigar and supported the countertop with one hand, "Marble does not conduct electricity, now you try to operate the current, can you electrify me."

Wen Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, "No, the doctor is not here." What should I do if Mr. Jian is shocked?

"You're not fooling me, because you can't recharge me." Jian Shaoyong breathed out a puff of smoke lightly, with his weight on his left foot, leaning on the table, "Come on, try it."

Wen Xiaobei blinked, "I can really call you."

"If I tell you to try it, just try it..."

stab...

Jian Shaoyong jumped up.

"...Very well, it seems that you can freely control the direction of the current."

"Mr. Jian, I can still send electricity to the ball, of course I can control the direction." Look, I said I can get it~

Jian Shaoyong sighed inwardly, made a mistake, and slightly underestimated Wen Xiaobei.

"I'm going to enter your mind now, which will help you to a certain extent, don't be nervous, don't repel, relax."

Wen Xiaobei scratched his head, "What are you doing?"

[I want you to strengthen your control over your own current, not just the direction. 】

Wen Xiaobei's hand is the endpoint of his electric current, if he can control the ability within the endpoint, what effect will it have on his body?Will it hurt?Or is there a buildup of energy?

Does the current need to be released at any time or can it be stored?If the latter, what is the maximum value stored?

Jian Shaoyong intends to find out.

Wen Xiaobei felt a force encouraging him to try.

Staring at the palms, the currents were invisible, but he could feel them there, just like when he first discovered them.For him, this sudden ability has always been regarded as an invisible friend.

They are very naughty, they can cause trouble, they can make trouble, and they like to often come out to play games~

Jian Shaoyong slipped his hand supporting the table.

This Wen Xiaobei's way of thinking is really evil!

Hey, don't come out, okay?Needless to say, it is not good to electrify people, but it is not good to electrify small animals and flowers~

[Wen Xiaobei, be more serious! 】

Look, I was scolded by this strange uncle, right?Quick, you hide, he won't scold me if you hide.

Jian Shaoyong withdrew his spiritual power and put one hand on his hip, "Wen Xiaobei, that's not the case. You can't imagine that the supernatural power is...some kind of friend or something naughty. This is your own ability, and you can control it. You have to be firm. This belief, not acting like a schizophrenic."

Wen Xiaobei started scratching his head again, "The ability to control is to prevent the electricity from leaking out, right?"

"Yes, restrain yourself and release it when you want to. You can try it."

Wen Xiaobei stared blankly at each other for a while, "Mr. Jian, I don't have a switch on my hand..."

Jian Shaoyong stared at him for a few seconds, then turned and left.

Oops, he's angry.Wen Xiaobei lowered his head, subconsciously pushed his lips into his mouth with his fingers and bit them...

Wait!

He wasn't wearing gloves, but he just...

Wen Xiaobei raised his hand hesitantly, put it by his temple, slowly approached his hair, and scratched his temple.

Huh?The hair is not fuzzy.

I touched my eyebrows again, but they didn't blur.

There is a very subtle feeling that I have never noticed before, and it is fleeting.

Pulling off the T-shirt, he raised his hand again and pressed it to his chest.

The left hand holding the T-shirt, the right hand pressed against the chest.

Why didn't he shock himself, and didn't burn his clothes this time?

Wen Xiaobei suddenly raised his head.

Jian Shaoyong stood opposite him and stretched out his hand, "Have you found this feeling? Hold on and shake my hand."

"Do not……"

"Try it, it's okay, I have confidence in you."

Wen Xiaobei swallowed.

"Come and try it, it's okay."

"I……"

"Don't you want to be able to control the ability freely, like an ordinary person without wearing gloves all the time?"

"I……"

Jian Shaoyong's voice seemed to have hypnotic magic power, and he encouraged him very patiently, "Come on, give it a try."

In the silent kitchen, the mirror-smooth marble table reflected two hands that were getting closer.

At the last moment, Wen Xiaobei stopped.Jian Shaoyong's slender palms are right in front of his eyes, and the distance between them is only a few centimeters. If he fails... Will Mr. Jian get hurt?

"No, I believe in you. I believe in you more than yourself."

"No!" Wen Xiaobei withdrew his hand violently, and lowered his head deeply, "My mother...my mother was shocked by me, and she was seriously injured..."

Jian Shaoyong didn't want this sad memory to continue, so he leaned forward.

Even with his head down, Wen Xiaobei could see from the reflection on the table that he was going to hold his hand!

"No!"

"Wen Xiaobei, you can't hurt me with this little electric current. I am also a supernatural person, have you forgotten? On the day of the riot in the institute, Wang Jian also grabbed your hand, but his hair was just fuzzy, he It didn't matter much. I was even able to run with you later, remember?"

"Huh?" Can a supernatural person withstand electricity better than a normal person?

"Yes. Come on, try it."

Wen Xiaobei looked at the palm stretched out to him again.

Maybe, he can really succeed?If he could, he wouldn't have to wear gloves anymore!He can pet the natto, the wild cat on the wall, the rose flower...

"Yeah, anyway, I'll be fine, and I won't lose anything if I try it. Big deal, if I'm really injured, you can call Chen Cang immediately. The number is in the phone book next to the landline in the living room."

"it is good!"

Wen Xiaobei took a deep breath, trying to find the feeling of control just now.

Raising his eyes, he firmly grasped Jian Shaoyong's hand.

It was almost noon.

Natto was lying on the floor mat outside the kitchen when he suddenly heard a loud cry from the kitchen: "Ah!!"

The dog jumped up alertly.

In the kitchen, Wen Xiaobei was horrified to find himself grabbing the air, while Jian Shaoyong folded his arms and leaned against the wall.

"Scared me to death, I thought I wiped out your electricity."

Jian Shaoyong smiled and shook his head, "It was just an illusion I created in your consciousness to help you find that feeling of control. Do you think I would be so stupid to use myself as an experiment for you? But, you do Great, we can try it now."

"Ah?" Wen Xiaobei blinked.

It turned out to be an illusion...

However, even if it was an illusion, he seemed to have really found a little feeling.

Confidence, a small bud sprouted in his heart.

Jian Shaoyong turned out and dragged natto in.

Wen Xiaobei was startled, and kept shaking his head, "No, no, don't try it with a dog! Don't, don't, don't!"

Gouzi

It also seemed to sense that something bad was about to happen to it, and kept scratching Jian Shaoyong's trouser legs with his paws.

"Why are you so excited? I just want to use a pinch of its hair."

Wen Xiaobei calmed down.

Brother Natto didn't move, he just let the master cut a handful of hair from it.

Wen Xiaonan covered his mouth and smiled in the study.

Brother Natto's hair is mushy...
