Chapter 1 Family Problems in the New Life
"Ahh An extremely sharp cry made the young man who was still in a hazy state roll off the bed gorgeously in an instant, and then fell to the floor with a thud. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Anyone who is stimulated like this in a comfortable sleep can hardly maintain a peaceful sleep, so the teenager Zhou Yi simply rolled up the sleeves of his pajamas and decided to give the guy who disturbed his rare vacation a good look.
"Ahh The piercing screams continued, and Zhou Yi had already pushed open the door of his bedroom, walked to another door with a teddy bear hanging, knocked viciously, and said loudly.
"Charis. Ferguson, if you can't give me a good reason, trust me, I'll let God know what a serious mistake it really is to disturb my sleep. ”
"Don't come in, let me go away!" There was a girl's sobbing cry in the room, and this cry immediately burned the fragile fuse in Zhou Yi's brain.
"What the hell is going on, Charis, hurry up and open the door, I'm your brother, I have to know what's wrong with you!"
"Don't, don't, go away, I don't want you to see me." The crying inside the door immediately rose and then whimpered again, apparently the girl had covered herself with the covers.
Zhou Yi, who didn't know what was going on, became more and more anxious, and now the adults in the family are estimated to have gone to work a long time ago, and the only ones left are himself as an elder brother and Xia Ruisi as a younger sister, so no matter what, Zhou Yi feels that he has to see what happened to his sister.
In this anxious state of mind, Zhou Yi couldn't care about the reason that he had to take care of any private things, and the hands holding the doorknob suddenly forced, and immediately tore open the locked door.
Inside the door was a typical girl's bedroom, full of dolls and puppet toys, but at this moment, the owner who had taken great care of these things threw them to the ground in a mess. And Charis, who was the initiator, buried herself firmly in the quilt like a frightened little hamster.
"Honey, what the hell is going on, Charis, tell me quickly." Zhou Yi strode to the bed and slammed open his sister's quilt. Then he said dumbfounded. "Damn, what the hell is going on?"
The familiar sister in the memory of the quilt has completely changed to another look, the brown hair has completely turned burgundy, the blue eyes have also turned into a strange emerald green, and strange ornaments have appeared around the eyes, Zhou Yi can be sure that this is not a man-made thing, but a naturally grown pattern.
And this is not the most terrifying, what surprised Zhou Yi the most was that Xia Ruisi's ears actually became elf-like pointed ears, and her half-sister was actually an elf, God you TM are definitely teasing me. At this moment, Zhou Yi can only comfort himself in this way. But he knew in his heart that something big had happened.
"It is necessary for us to believe that mutants, a species lurking in our human race, are a potential threat to all human beings in the world, and their superpowers not only destroy the balance of nature, but also pose a huge potential risk to our security and social stability, and we call on every citizen of the United States to always be vigilant against mutants around them."
On television, a spokesman for the mutant threat from the military spoke impassionedly in front of countless reporters. Zhou Yi, who was completely indifferent to this kind of remarks, now only feels that this military spokesman is simply hateful.
Mutants or something, how can it be a threat. Zhou Yi comforted his trembling sister who was hiding in his arms. Looking at her mother, who was obviously very flustered, with a very determined look, she said: "The current situation is that even though Charis is a mutant, she is still our most important family, and it is for her that I think we should also move to New York." ”
Zhou Yi's mother Zhou Lan is a Chinese-American who looks very young and beautiful, when she was young, she fell in love with a Chinese officer, and then had Zhou Yi, but unfortunately, like all people who set the flag, Zhou Yi's biological father said a bold word before a mission, "After completing this task, I will go back to my hometown to get married", and then never came back. So Zhou Yi and Zhou Lan together have become a single-parent family.
This state lasted for eight years, when Zhou Yi was eight years old. Zhou Lan and Anthony, a banker from Los Angeles. Ferguson fell in love, and then the two quickly got married, less than a year later. There is the current Charis. Ferguson.
It's a pity for Anthony. Ferguson suffered misfortune in a plane accident. This made Zhou Yi, who was once very uncomfortable with the surname Ferguson, change back to his original name again. In the same way, Zhou Yi and Zhou Lan, as well as Xia Ruisi, who was not yet one year old, once again formed a single-parent family.
However, compared with other single-parent families, because Zhou Lan himself is engaged in a fashionable high-paying profession, coupled with the rich inheritance left by Mr. Ferguson and the huge compensation from the insurance company, Zhou Yi's family lives a relatively wealthy life.
Especially after Zhou Yi's suggestions on stock investment received huge feedback, Zhou Yi's family basically didn't worry about money anymore.
Since there is no problem with money, Zhou Lan doesn't care much about the idea of moving, she just looked at her son with some doubts, and asked while comforting her unfortunate little daughter.
"I know it's necessary to move for Charis' safety, but why we're going to New York, we have a lot of options."
"I know what you mean." Zhou Yi sighed. "It might be safer to go west, but we can't let Charis stay in that kind of country for the rest of her life. Relatively speaking, I would prefer that Chareth be accepted by normal people, so I hope to take her to Professor Charles's Xavier School for Gifted Teenagers, where she can learn how to get along with normal people. ”
Xavier Genius Youth School, the name was just told to his mother by Zhou Yi, in his explanation, this school is set up for all kinds of mutant teenagers, with the cultivation of mutants who can integrate into society as the core. For the current family, it is undoubtedly a clear direction of choice.
"Well, as long as you think so, for you and Charis, I agree to do so." Zhou Lan spread her hands, hugged Xia Ruisi, and said with some distress. "Oh! You must be frightened, my poor little darling, don't worry. Mom and brother will protect you, come! Let's go sleep and everything will be fine when we wake up. ”
After speaking, Zhou Lan took Xia Ruisi into his bedroom. She believes that her son can handle things well, in fact, since having Xia Ruisi, Zhou Yi has always played the role of brother and father, although he is only eight years older than Xia Ruisi, but in Zhou Lan's eyes, his son is not inferior to those successful adults, or even better.
To put it mildly, in this family, it is only sixteen-year-old Zhou Yi who speaks more weightily, not Zhou Lan, who is already a mother of two children. Zhou Yi's mature thinking and careful thinking since he was a child made him play a more important role in this family, it not only helped Zhou Lan to organize this single-parent family in order, but also as the only man in the family, he blocked a lot of ups and downs for the family.
Zhou Lan knows this, so she only has infinite pride and trust in her son.
Watching Zhou Lan take Xia Ruisi to close the door, Zhou Yi turned off the chattering images on the TV with some impatience, and with a grip in his hand, the remote control of the TV turned into countless debris and fell on the carpet. And Zhou Yi didn't care about this, just stared at the pitch-black TV screen and muttered to himself slightly.
"The mutants, the X-Men, and the Brotherhood, it looks like they're going to have to make contact with you."
At this moment, it was as if there was a flame burning again in his eyes. In the past and present life, there are some things that have been lost and regained, and no one is allowed to destroy them.
Under the arrangement of money, Zhou Yi quickly got rid of some of the properties in his hands, and then bought two quite good apartments on the Upper East Side of New York through an agent he knew. Although the prices of these two high-end apartments near Central Park are surprisingly expensive, they are still within the affordability range for Zhou Yi, who has sold a lot of IT stocks.
Zhou Yi did not see the stocks in his hands, especially technology stocks, very important, except for some shares of Stark Corporation and some shares of Oscorp. He almost sold his tech stocks cleanly. Of course, this is also a good practice to avoid risks.
After arranging the problem of assets, Zhou Yi began to arrange the problem of the itinerary again. Although he really wanted to take Charis to Xavier Genius Youth School as soon as possible, Zhou Yi also knew that a mutant who showed off his appearance could easily become a target for some people.
In his memory, there were a lot of mutants in the military who were imprisoned as experiments, and Zhou Yike didn't believe that they were all brought out of prison.
Therefore, it is impossible to travel by air, and without a private jet, the strict security check will completely reveal Charis's identity.
After thinking about it again and again, Zhou Yi decided to buy an RV to solve this problem. It's a bit slow, but it's safe and private, and it's enough to have these two points.
Once the toughest problem is solved, the rest is not a problem.
Xia Ruisi's current situation is not suitable for saying goodbye to her friends, and of course, Zhou Yi doesn't look down on her group of friends. Zhou Lan is engaged in fashion, which is a soy sauce profession in itself, and there are no friends who are too good to be good, so naturally there is nothing that cannot be parted.
As for Zhou Yi, it can only be said that he has memories of his previous life and is completely out of touch with his age. The circle of friends he has created now is nothing to regret even if he throws it away, and he hasn't invested anything of value in it anyway.
Well, all that's left is to set off. As soon as the sun comes out tomorrow, people here may be surprised to find that their long-time neighbors are gone.
It's not a big deal. Maybe for some, it's still a good thing. At least for some depraved youth, it would be nice to have a child from someone who makes comparisons every day.
