Dongfang Haoran was born as an orphan, and according to the director of the orphanage, he found Dongfang Haoran when the hospital opened in the morning.

Next to him was a piece of paper that had been pressed down by a small stone.

There are four words written on it: Dongfang Haoran.

It is clear that he was abandoned.

When he was young, he would still wonder why he was abandoned because he was not deformed, nor was he mentally retarded and cerebral palsy.

But as he grew older, he didn't bother to think about it, there would be no parents without parents.

At least he also has an amiable dean grandfather, several nurses and aunts, and many younger brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, so he feels quite good, everyone in the orphanage is his relatives.

Since he studied for nine years with the help of the orphanage, and after graduating from junior high school, he left the big family where he had lived for more than ten years, although the director said that they could leave when they became adults, so that it would be easier to find a job or something.

But most of them left the orphanage at the age of fifteen.

It's not that the orphanage is bad, the old dean is very good to every orphan, but Dongfang Haoran They know that the economic conditions of the orphanage are not very good, in order not to increase the burden of the orphanage, Dongfang Haoran still left this big family at the age of fifteen.

What can a fifteen-year-old do?

In fact, there are still a lot of jobs that can be done.

Not to mention anything else, it's still no problem to be a lotus boy in the kitchen, including food and housing, and salary, this job is perfect for Dongfang Haoran.

During the two-month summer vacation, Dongfang Haoran made up the tuition fees for high school.

During his studies, Dongfang Haoran still worked in the back kitchen of that restaurant, no way, if he didn't work, he would have no financial resources, so he had to work.

Fortunately, Dongfang Haoran has a good personality, and during his part-time job, whether it is the boss or the chefs in the kitchen, he takes good care of this young man.

Knowing his difficulties, the restaurant owner also agreed to his request and changed from full-time to part-time work.

Every afternoon after school, I go to work in the cafeteria.

In this way, although his salary was cut in half, the restaurant still covered his meal and accommodation in the evening.

In this way, Dongfang Haoran studied his three-year high school career.

Tomorrow is the college entrance examination, and some students are still reading desperately, hoping that this temporary Buddha's foot can give some strength.

There are also students who go to bed early to recharge their energy and prepare for tomorrow's high school entrance examination.

Dongfang Haoran, on the other hand, works in a restaurant.

At nine o'clock in the evening, when the restaurant was about to close, Dongfang Haoran found the boss and said to him: "Uncle Li, I have to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, can I take a few days off during this period." ”

The person who was called Uncle Li by Dongfang Haoran was the owner of this restaurant.

This person has a face full of flesh, and the scar under his right eye adds a little terrifying atmosphere, and people who don't know think it's the boss of the mixed society.

"It's okay, take the college entrance examination and strive for a good score, by the way, you wait a minute."

After Uncle Li finished speaking, he walked to the bar, and came back after a while, holding a few hundred yuan in his hand and saying to Dongfang Haoran: "Take it, take the exam these days, eat better." ”

Dongfang Haoran waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no, Uncle Li, I only paid my salary yesterday, and I have money on me." ”

Uncle Li's eyes widened, that could scare a child crying.

"If you take it, you can take it, what so much nonsense, otherwise Uncle Li will be angry."

Dongfang Haoran took the money from Uncle Li's hand with some confusion and said, "Then thank you Uncle Li." ”

"That's right." Patting Dongfang Haoran on the shoulder, Uncle Li continued: "You have been in our restaurant for three years, when you kid came to look for a job, it scared me, I thought you were a primary school student." Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, you are going to take the college entrance examination, and you have grown from a little monkey to a handsome guy. ”

"Hehe, Uncle Li, you don't know, when I came in to ask if I was recruiting, I almost didn't scare me to cry when I saw your appearance, but I mustered up the courage to finish the job search, fortunately, the process is tortuous, and the result is successful."

"Stinky boy, dare to make fun of your uncle." Uncle Li patted Dongfang Haoran on the shoulder heavily, and said solemnly: "Haoran, you Uncle Li and I have no culture, most of the people in this restaurant have no culture, if you can be admitted to university, you will be the first college student in our restaurant, so, take the test well, tell the world, the chef, is also a literate person." ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Li, I will definitely take the test well."

"By the way, I haven't asked you which university you're going to apply for."

"Far Moon Academy."

"Far Moon? Damn, you kid is playing me. Uncle Li said and gave him a burst and said, "Don't think I don't know that this academy is from the spirit of the anime halberd." ”

"Uh... Uncle Li, do you still watch anime? ”

"No, don't look at you Uncle Li like this, I also have an innocent heart."

"Uh..."Dongfang Haoran didn't know how to answer, the uncle with a meaty face watched the anime, oh, this picture is so beautiful, I don't dare to watch it.

"Uh, uh, tell me which university to apply to."

"NJ Teachers' College."

"This seems to be just a two-book university, with your grades, it should be no problem to get a score of one." Uncle Li asked a little puzzled.

"yes." Dongfang Haoran nodded and said: "I still have a lot of confidence in myself, but I have already negotiated with the teachers of NJ Normal College that as long as my score exceeds the first line of this year, their college can exempt me from the tuition fee for my freshman year." ”

"Is it because of tuition?" Uncle Li touched his chin and said: "It stands to reason that you kid doesn't smoke, drink, or play cards, and after a few years of salary, no matter how you do, you should save enough for college tuition, why do you still ??? ”

Dongfang Haoran spread his hands and said: "Uncle Li, you know, I am an orphan, I grew up in an orphanage, but the economy of the orphanage is not very good, and now I have the ability to make money again, so most of my salary is sent back, so it can only be like this." ”

Uncle Li was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "No, you can't delay your future because of the tuition fee, in this way, the tuition and living expenses of the university or something, you Uncle Li and I are out, don't think about what to use the score of one line to read two books, and go to whichever school you should go to." ”

Dongfang Haoran was taken aback, although he had gotten along well with everyone in the restaurant in the past three years, he wouldn't let Uncle Li pay for him like this.

"Don't don't, Uncle Li, really, don't be like this, I know you're good to me, everyone in the restaurant is good to me, I'll be under pressure if you're like this, if there's pressure, I won't be able to take the exam, if I don't do well, I won't be able to go to college, if I can't go to college, I can only rely on Uncle Li for the rest of my life, hehe."

"What a stupid thing to say?" Uncle Li sighed and said: "Okay, I also know that with your character, I will definitely not accept it, once you decide something, you must go back to do it, others can't change your decision, okay, that's it, go back and rest early." ”

"Then I'll go first. Goodbye, Uncle Li. ”

Uncle Li watched Dongfang Haoran, and it wasn't until Dongfang Haoran was away from Uncle Li's sight that he turned around and closed the door.

On the way home, Uncle Li took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone.

"Hey, Scar Lee, call me at this point, I should know which university he wants to go to."

Listening to the voice on the phone, Uncle Li's expression suddenly became serious.

"Yes, leader, I already know, he has already made a decision, saying that he wants to go to NJ Teacher's College."

"NJ Teacher? Two colleges? Didn't you say that his grades were good enough to get into the first one? ”

"That's right, but..."Uncle Li told the person on the phone what had just happened.

"Tuition?" The person on the phone groaned for a while and said: "In this case, let's do it according to his own wishes, and we don't interfere with him too much, now is a critical period, as long as we get through this period safely, it's fast, it's fast..."

Dongfang Haoran didn't know why Uncle Li would help him so much, it stands to reason that he was just a little guy in the back kitchen of this restaurant, why did Uncle Li say that he could help him out of college tuition?

For Dongfang Haoran, who was born as an orphan, in addition to the 'relatives' in the orphanage, in fact, he has a certain degree of vigilance against everyone.

Don't look at him in the restaurant and get along with everyone very well, in fact, he doesn't regard those people as real friends at all, at most they are just good colleagues.

He remembered their kindness to him, but it was undoubtedly nonsense for Dongfang Haoran to say how much he trusted them.

Therefore, today Uncle Li said to him that he could help him pay for his tuition or something, but he didn't believe a word.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Although he felt that he had nothing to worry about, he still refused, it was better to be cautious, what if it was because Uncle Li wanted him to be his son-in-law because he was handsome, down-to-earth, hard-working, and helpful?

Hehe, thinking of this possibility, even he laughed himself.

The dormitory is not far from the cafeteria, out of this street, walk 300 meters to the right to the community where the dormitory is located.

Uncle Li rented three four-bedroom and two-living room houses as staff dormitories, although there was no furniture in them, only bunk beds, washing machines, and water heaters, but the rent was still quite expensive, after all, the area of the house was so large.

Laughing while walking, Dongfang Haoran entered the community, and as long as he walked twenty meters, he would walk to the downstairs of the dormitory.

However, as he was walking in the direction of the dormitory, he noticed something strange on the lawn on the right.

Why is it strange?

There was a piece of turf about the size of a palm, emitting a faint red glow.

Dongfang Haoran was sure that this was glowing, not being painted red.

He looked left and right and saw that there was no one, so to satisfy his curiosity, he stepped onto the lawn, ready to take a closer look at why this piece of turf was glowing, and it was red.

Walking three steps in a row and squatting down, Dongfang Haoran found that it was not the grass itself that was emitting this light, but something under the grass that was glowing, and there was an illusion that it was the turf itself that was glowing from a distance.

"Huh? This little bead actually glows, is it a good baby? ”

Putting the small bead in the palm of his hand, Dongfang Haoran took a closer look and found that the bead was indeed emitting a red light, and there were many cracks on the surface of the small bead.

"The light actually came out of the rift, that is, it glowed inside?"

Is there anything strange about this?

"Well, there's really nothing strange about it, it's mostly a toy for children to play with, the kind controlled by the remote control, the kind that can glow when you press it."

Well, it's really the most reliable idea he can think of, and in addition to this idea, he has other very strange ideas.

For example, this is a collector placed on Earth by aliens, and for some reason, there is a crack in the surface of the bead, which causes the energy inside the bead to leak and make it glow.

Or, this bead is the legendary Dinghai God Pearl, when it was against the enemy, it was broken by someone, and thus fell here, as for why it shines? Tsk, isn't it normal for something in mythology to shine a little?

Holding the bead and squatting on the lawn, Dongfang Haoran developed his brain, smiled, got up and walked out of the lawn, wanting to throw the bead into the trash.

As for that, why not leave this bead behind?

Hehe, what if this kind of thing of unknown origin and glows with strange light is harmful to the human body?

He knew that light was a type of radiation, so what if the red light was harmful radiation?

He didn't want to put himself in danger, even if the odds were small, for the sake of a beautiful bead.

There is no way, he was born in an orphanage, and it is normal for him to lack a sense of security.

The garbage can, there is one ten meters in front of him, Dongfang Haoran walked to the place where he threw the garbage, just like he threw other things, he wanted to throw the beads into it very casually.

As a result, the bead was in the palm of his right hand, and it did not move at all.

"Rub, what's going on, sticky?"

I shook it hard, but I didn't throw it out.

The left hand pinched the bead and pulled it vigorously, but did not pull it; With the strength to feed, there is still no pulling.

"This bead thinks it's taken a fancy to me, hey, I'm such a good person, even this kind of dead thing will entangle me."

Narcissistically thought about it, Dongfang Haoran didn't bother with this bead anymore, walked into the elevator in the building, went upstairs, and returned to the dormitory.

Most of the people in the back kitchen live in this dormitory, four rooms, each with two bunk beds and two in the hall, that is, at least twenty people can live here.

Since some of the people in the kitchen do not live in the dormitory, there are still quite a lot of beds in the entire dormitory, and the people in the kitchen are full of people taking care of him, so Dongfang Haoran's room is the only one in him, and he usually writes homework and reads books, and it is relatively quiet.

"Cut, sure enough, there's no one."

Of course there was no one left, because they all went out to 'play'.

I don't know if it's the tradition of this kitchen, or if most of the chefs in Sichuan and Shu are like this, every time the salary is paid, the head chef will gather the brothers in the kitchen and go out to 'play'.

Although it was said that it was paid yesterday, it was really too busy yesterday, and everyone was very tired, so I didn't go.

But today is different, business is average, and the brothers in the kitchen have responded to the chef's call to 'play'.

Why didn't Dongfang Haoran go?

First, this kind of activity is to pay money, according to different positions, different incomes to pay, if you don't want to go, you don't have to pay.

Second, this kind of activity is not attractive to Dongfang Haoran, or he feels ashamed.

As a virgin who has only just come of age, it is indeed a bit embarrassing to go to prostitution openly.

That's right, once a month in the kitchen, the head chef leads the team to go to prostitution.

"Come to think of it, they won't be back until the early hours of the morning."

After taking a bath, going to bed, and reading a book, Dongfang Haoran was ready to sleep, what about how to deal with the beads in the palm of his hand!!

"Well, although it has a little impact, but it's not a big problem, so let's do it first, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and sleep."

Turning off the light, Dongfang Haoran quickly fell asleep.

After falling asleep, the light of the beads on Dongfang Haoran's palm became weaker and weaker, and the light that disappeared seemed to be sucked into his body, first his right hand began to become red and glowing, then his arm, chest, and brain.

It wasn't until his entire body turned red, and after emitting a strange red light, the beads stopped glowing at all.

As the light disappeared, the beads lost their stickiness and rolled down from Dongfang Haoran's hand on the corner of the bed.

Dongfang Haoran, who was asleep, didn't know anything about it, and he was now having a strange dream.
