Lu Yao thought that Xu Xiaoxiao might come, but she didn't expect that this would be the situation when they met again.
She was drunk and unconscious, leaning against the door frame, shouting that she wanted to see Alfred.
Lu Yao noticed two or three men standing on the side of the road, tilting their heads as if observing this side. Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately helped Xu Xiaoxiao to the store.
She placed Xu Xiaoxiao in the glass tea room, picked up her mobile phone and went out, intending to call Xiao Ze, but she thought it was too late and gave up.
Xiao Ze had just finished a tutoring class today, and because the effect was very good, he might not have noticed the mental fatigue.
But after tutoring, students and tutors are actually very tired.
It's best to have a good rest for one or two days.
Seeing several men still wandering outside the store, Lu Yao simply closed the store door and returned to the tea room.
Xu Xiaoxiao was leaning on a chair with her eyes closed, her arms and legs curled up, and the wine bottle had already rolled to the ground. Lu
Yao poured hot water, forced Xu Xiaoxiao to wake up, fed her hangover medicine, and went back to the shopping street to get a blanket.
The hangover medicine brought from the nail salon was very effective. When Lu Yao came back, Xu Xiaoxiao had already woken up and was sitting in a chair in a daze.
Lu Yao covered her with a blanket, made two cups of hot soy milk, sat on another chair, let Er Xin nestle in his legs, and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with his head tilted.
Xu Xiaoxiao should not be very old, her facial features are not very delicate, but she is young and beautiful. She wears a beige dress, like a swaying wild peony.
"I seem to like Xiao Ze." Xu Xiaoxiao said emotionally.
Maybe the paralysis of her mind caused by alcohol has not completely disappeared, or maybe she really needs someone to listen to. Without waiting for the owner to answer, Xu Xiaoxiao talked about the past.
The topic jumped, the previous sentence talked about childhood trivia, the next sentence talked about Xiao Ze, the previous sentence talked about the customers she met at work, and the next sentence started talking about Xiao Ze again.
Lu Yao took a pack of tissues and handed it over, and listened to her venting quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Xiaoxiao felt dry in the mouth, grabbed the soy milk on the table and took a big gulp, looking at Lu Yao with red eyes: "I'm so tired."
Lu Yao: "If you're tired, just take a nap."
Xu Xiaoxiao rolled up the blanket and curled up in the chair, closed her eyes, and soon she began to breathe evenly.
System: [I thought you would take the opportunity to let her take the test and sign the tutoring contract.]
Lu Yao: "Do you think I'm so unprofessional?"
System: [...Not really. It's just that there haven't been any new customers except Xiao Ze, so I thought you would be anxious. Lu
Yao stood up to tuck in Xu Xiaoxiao's quilt and dimmed the lights in the tea room, leaving only a small night light in the shape of a bell orchid bud on the table. "I do want a new customer, but she is not sober, how can I induce her to sign a contract? Tutoring for childhood is not as simple as you think, and I don't want to waste my efforts. Tutoring will only have a positive effect when the customer is willing to face the past and want to make some changes."
Without doing a test, she also understood Xu Xiaoxiao's situation.
But whether to tutor or not is still up to the customer to decide.
The next day, childhood tutoring center.
Voices mixed with cat calls kept making noises in her ears. Xu Xiaoxiao frowned. After resisting for a while, she was still annoyed. She opened her eyes irritably and found herself in a strange room.
Xu Xiaoxiao panicked. Her first reaction was to check her body. She rolled up the blanket and put her skirt on properly.
She slowly exhaled and relaxed. She vaguely heard a familiar female voice. Her eyebrows raised slightly. She wanted to get up and go out, but she was a little hesitant.
As her consciousness gradually recovered, Xu Xiaoxiao vaguely remembered some fragments of last night.
After leaving Xiao Ze's house, she felt inexplicably depressed. She went to a nearby bar to drink alone. After relying on alcohol to free her consciousness, she came to the Childhood Tutorial Center in a daze.
Later, she seemed to be drunk and crazy to the owner, and said a lot of things.
Xu Xiaoxiao covered her face with her hands, heat spreading all over her face. She could
vaguely recall a few scenes, which were enough to make her want to move to another city immediately. Lu Yao had been paying attention to Xu Xiaoxiao's situation. When he heard the noise, he took the time to come in and take a look. "Are you awake? There is a bathroom in the cram school. I bought a new toothbrush and towel this morning. They are all on the shelf. You can use them at will."
After thinking for a while, Lu Yao bowed his head and called Erxin: "Erxin baby, take your sister to the bathroom. I will open the cans for you later."
Erxin was very smart. She went to supervise Xu Xiaoxiao.
Xu Xiaoxiao washed up and came out. On the table of the glass tea room was a steaming breakfast, which included porridge with side dishes, fried eggs and beef cubes. It was rich and warm.
Because of the hangover pills she had taken, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't feel very uncomfortable after the hangover. She was attracted by the smell of food and began to swallow her saliva.
Erxin ran to Lu Yao to ask for cans. The owner knew that Xu Xiaoxiao had come out and said across the shelf: "Have breakfast first, and wait for me to finish this."
It was past nine o'clock, and the morning rush hour was over. There were no customers.
Lu Yao came in, and Xu Xiaoxiao, who was leaning on a chair reading comics, immediately put down the comic book and sat up straight, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, "What I said last night, you..." Lu Yao
said: "Well, I won't tell Xiao Ze."
Xu Xiaoxiao's face flushed and she felt uneasy: "I didn't... I..."
The plates on the table had been washed and piled together.
Lu Yao poured a glass of water, took away the plates, and brought a snack box to the middle, then sat down opposite Xu Xiaoxiao: "Xiao Ze has received two tutoring sessions at the cram school, and your feedback is very meaningful to us."
Xu Xiaoxiao: "Why do you say that?"
Didn't the owner understand what she meant?
Lu Yao: "You know what you are thinking. Last night you said that you seemed to like Xiao Ze. I think this may need to be verified."
The owner's tone was too calm and neutral, which made Xu Xiaoxiao unhappy.
Xu Xiaoxiao: "Why do you say that? Don't I know my own feelings? How else do I need to verify it?"
Lu Yao waved his hand gently and soothed her, "I'm just saying there is a certain possibility. You said a lot last night. Xiao Ze is not your only male companion, and you haven't made any progress for a long time. The timing of your feelings for him was very subtle, just after he received tutoring twice. I guess you saw something different in him yesterday, and that trait happens to be what you like."
Lu Yao was a little happy to receive tutoring feedback from the outside world so quickly.
After making money from selling bubble water and glutinous rice balls, Lu Yao asked Li Xiaoguo to help her buy a new mobile phone.
Her identity was systematically processed, and she successfully got a mobile phone number in this world.
The development of information technology in this world is no less advanced than that of the shopping street and the night light city of the Sea of Eden, and various historical data can be easily found on the Internet.
According to Lu Yao, since the first superpower appeared in this world sixty years ago, humans have indeed gained the power of evolution, and then the whole world has entered a stage of high-speed and efficient development.
People's pursuit and dependence on superpowers are deepening, and they pursue "maximum efficiency" endlessly.
Where human power cannot reach, they rely on superpowers to make up.
Superpower assessments began to crush all cultural rules and became the ultimate standard for measuring a human being, gradually erasing individual personality traits, values, hobbies, and life ideals, forcing everyone to pursue the same power (1).
The entire society began to become a slave to superpowers.
Just like the bottomless pursuit of money and power, people in this world excessively pursue the sense of superiority brought by superpowers.
And superpowers themselves seem to have rules that can be called "talents."
Some people can awaken unimaginable powerful abilities, while more people only get bonus gifts like "flashlights."
People all over the world have become blind boxes of superpowers. Ordinary people who cannot open powerful abilities will eventually be replaced like worn-out parts in the social machine.
Sanhua City is just a very small city in this world, and even belongs to a somewhat backward area.
The influence of superpowers is far less than that of a bustling metropolis, but even in such a small city, many humans have gradually become discarded parts, and there is even a holy place of death like No. 66 Sanhua Road.
Most of the humans who fell from the pedestrian bridge can be said to be failures forced by the gradually mechanized society to become inhuman products, and they are also the human touch swallowed up by this city.
Lu Yao thought a lot and stopped in time. The most important thing at the moment is that Xiao Ze has changed after tutoring.
And that change not only affects Xiao Ze himself, but also is noticed by others.
Lu Yao looked at Xu Xiaoxiao again, "Don't you want to see Alfred? He is our tutor here, but he only shows up when he is tutoring students."
Xu Xiaoxiao felt like an ugly fighting chicken when she was stared at by the owner's clear and gentle eyes.
The owner always gave people a gentle and calm feeling, and he was not embarrassed at all even when he was denied and refuted in person.
The owner concluded that her feelings for Xiao Ze were just a momentary impulse, and Xu Xiaoxiao was extremely dissatisfied. The idea that she had not been so urgent was aroused again, and she was excited: "How to tutor? I will sign up for a class."
Lu Yao stood up with a smile and led Xu Xiaoxiao to the tutoring room in the back.
After taking finger bones and making a mind key, Xu Xiaoxiao finally realized that the owner might be a very powerful superpower, and she felt more and more uncomfortable.
When she got the key, she asked, "When will the tutoring start?"
Lu Yao: "If you are in a hurry, you can start right away. But you have to wait for two minutes. I will ask a colleague to come and look after the store."
In less than two minutes, Ji Feiming came.
Lu Yao simply told him and Erxin to look after the store together, and started tutoring Xu Xiaoxiao.
The first tutoring coordinates located by the time machine were not the place where Xu Xiaoxiao's first childhood memory occurred, but the school where she was in the fourth grade of elementary school.
Xu Xiaoxiao was born and lived in a remote town in Daimao City.
Lu Yao and Xu Xiaoxiao stood in an empty corridor, with a classroom on the left.
It was just empty, with no students or teachers.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked around and was very surprised, and grabbed Lu Yao: "Have we really returned to my childhood?"
Lu Yao: "This is your memory, you should know better than me. Is it after school? There is no one everywhere."
Footsteps came from the stairs behind them, Xu Xiaoxiao was startled, and pulled Lu Yao to hide behind the classroom door next to them.
The little daughter with a red schoolbag and two pigtails ran through the corridor like a fly, not paying any attention to them.
Lu Yao was still observing the layout of the classroom when Xu Xiaoxiao pulled him outside.
She asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Xiaoxiao's face was not very good: "The one who just ran over was me."
Lu Yao concentrated and followed Xu Xiaoxiao to the bathroom next to the fourth grade classroom.
They stood against the wall. Lu Yao wanted to look out, but was stopped by Xu Xiaoxiao.
Lu Yao heard a little crying coming from the girls' bathroom, followed by a man's swearing. Not long after, there was another huge explosion, and a man ran out of the girls' bathroom in panic.
The bathrooms in the elementary school are divided into male and female floors. The fourth grade floor is the girls' bathroom. It is at the end of the corridor and is divided into two on the left and right.
Lu Yao and Xu Xiaoxiao had already hidden in the restroom opposite the scene of the incident. Lu Yao looked through the crack of the door and saw a short and fat figure in a gray shirt running away in panic.
Xu Xiaoxiao leaned against the wall, lowered his eyes and said coldly: "My superpower is that I am a little stronger than others. When I was in elementary school, I could easily lift more than 200 kilograms of weight. Unfortunately, whether in the past or now, this ability is of no use, and it even ruined my life."
Outside the door, little Xu Xiaoxiao helped a little girl with tears on her face out, and left together.
The girl's clothes were wrinkled and there were bruises on her face.
After they left, Xu Xiaoxiao led Lu Yao down the stairs. Standing at the window at the corner of the stairs, he looked at the two small figures leaving the playground and said with a hint of resentment, "The town where I was born is far away from the urban area of Daomao City and is underdeveloped. Whether it is a childcare center or a school, it is far behind the well-developed big cities. But the people living here are just as busy. My parents are the same. Because I am strong and courageous, my parents are usually relieved.
On this day, because I left my pencil bag in the classroom, I rushed back to get it even though I was almost home. Because a Superman eraser that I like very much is in the stationery bag. I put it in my school bag. I couldn't help but take it out to play with it every day when I was doing homework. I took my school bag and was about to go back. When I went downstairs, I heard crying coming from the bathroom. I pushed the door open and saw the man holding a girl from Class 3 against the wall. I didn't really understand what happened.
The girl just asked for help when she saw me, and the man cursed at me. I thought he was a bad guy, and I thought this was a good opportunity to use my superpowers, so I took off a piece of the door and smashed it over. The man was scared.
After he ran away, I sent the girl from Class 3 home, and then I went back. In the evening, I boasted to my parents that I saved a classmate with my superpowers.
At that time, I didn’t know I was in big trouble.”
The next day, strange rumors began to spread in the school that a girl was harassed by an unknown person. A
day later, a flyer with Xu Xiaoxiao’s black and white photo was posted on the school bulletin board.
Rumors spread everywhere, and everyone believed that Xu Xiaoxiao was the victim.
Later, there were even rumors that Xu Xiaoxiao took the initiative to get along with others.
Lu Yao: “Is there no surveillance?”
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head: “At that time, only the school gate had surveillance. I was too young at the time and didn’t understand anything. Anyway, I inexplicably became the victim who was abused, and even my parents thought so.”
Lu Yao: “What about the girl in Class 3? Didn’t they explain it to you? "
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head in confusion: "I don't know. The rumors completely destroyed me and my parents. My mother came back and slapped me twice, saying that I was shameless. My father quarreled with my mother when he got home from work, and then we fought. The school almost expelled me, and my mother took me to beg people. I finally got through elementary school, but when I went to junior high school, the impact of this incident had not been eliminated, and no middle school was willing to accept me."
Xu Xiaoxiao's family later paid a lot of money and went to a middle school far away from home.
But her parents divorced before she finished junior high school.
Xu Xiaoxiao barely graduated from junior high school, and did not go to school again, and no one cared about her.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Yao, her expression full of confusion: "Did I do something wrong that day? If I didn't mind my own business, would my life be completely different? "
