After Hu Jiao saw where he was, he suddenly squatted down and covered his mouth with his hands.
Lu Yao looked down at him.
The blood on the boy's face faded, and fine beads of sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead. His pupils were full of disgust, and his voice was hoarse: "Lu Yao, I want to go back."
Lu Yao didn't expect Hu Jiao to react so strongly to this place, and even had serious physical discomfort.
She bent down to support him and prepared to go back to adjust.
At this time, the elevator door at the end of the corridor opened, and a family of three walked out of the elevator.
Hu Jiao tilted his head to take a look, and the nausea that he had just suppressed could not be suppressed, and he vomited out.
The man who came out of the elevator was wearing a suit and tie, gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was neatly combed back. He was holding a child who was wearing the same suit. The woman in a turmeric dress was walking behind with a handbag, chatting and laughing with the person who came out behind her.
Hearing the sound from this side, everyone stopped and looked over, then frowned, with disgust in their eyes.
Jiaohu's hand tightly grasped Luyao, and he couldn't help shaking, lowering his head and vomiting again.
Lu Yao saw that the people over there were still looking at them, and explained with a wry smile: "He has a stomachache, sorry. We will clean it up later."
A group of people walked past the two people, and Lu Yao heard the woman's disgusted voice: "It's so dirty."
Jiao Jiao closed her eyes, leaned against Lu Yao tightly, and held her hand very tightly.
Lu Yao stabilized him and turned his head to look at the family. They stopped in front of the door 305. The child's delicate eyebrows were frowned, as if worried, or curious, and he was trying to tilt his head to look over, and then he was pushed into the door by the man holding his arm.
The door opened and closed, and Lu Yao vaguely saw a look of fear and despair flash across the child's face.
The man who was joking with them was from the next door and entered room 306.
After a few minutes, Huo Jiao slowed down, stood up with the help of the railing, his face was miserable: "I'm afraid your tutoring is useless to me." Lu
Yao patted him on the back, "Go back first."
Back to the childhood cram school, Huo Jiao immediately ran to the bathroom and lay on the toilet and vomited.
Lu Yao poured warm water on the table and waited for him to come out.
When she first met Huo Jiao, the boy had a hoarse voice.
She didn't think much about it at the time, but now she has probably guessed the reason.
Huo Jiao vomited out the contents of her stomach, rinsed her mouth and face with cold water, looked up at the miserable white wolf herself in the mirror, and the gloomy and disgusted emotions seeped out from the depths of her eyes bit by bit.
"Pepper, are you feeling better?" Lu Yao's voice came from outside the door.
Pepper wiped her face, opened the door, glanced at her, and nodded slightly. She
had just vomited, her throat was uncomfortable, and she couldn't speak.
Lu Yao: "I poured you some water and some throat lozenges. Come over and drink some water, and then eat the lozenges. I'll ask Xiao Ji to bring some more food over later. What do you want to eat? Order whatever you want. I have several good chefs at home, and they can make any flavor. If you like seafood, we can make it for you. But you'd better not eat raw food for the time being. I have a dessert girl at home who cooks world-class seafood noodles. Do you want to try it?"
Pepper stared at her. Looking at Lu Yao, his face was very cold, and his voice was as hoarse as rough sandpaper scratching the metal surface: "Are you sympathizing with me?"
The latest information had been spit out from the small silver ball. Lu Yao sorted it out and shook his head and said: "The child has little knowledge. This is normal social care for the guests."
Jiao Jiao sat opposite, drank water, and put the candy in his mouth. The cool taste was slightly sweet, and the discomfort and nausea in the throat were obviously relieved.
He picked up the candy wrapper on the table again and unfolded it. It was a package he had never seen before.
Hu Jiao put the candy wrapper into his pocket and glanced at Lu Yao from time to time. "The first three people who walked out of the elevator were my parents and myself when I was a kid."
Lu Yao was not surprised at all: "I can see. That child looks a lot like you."
Hu Jiao held his forehead with his hand and closed his eyes. The memory deep in his consciousness was stimulated and lingered in his mind: "The man in a suit is actually a violent maniac. He always looks elegant outside, but when he comes home, he will beat his wife and children non-stop, calling it releasing pressure. But his superpower can cover up the wounds without leaving any scars. A shred of evidence. The woman is cowardly and vain. To her, children are just props to please her husband, compete for limelight and maintain face. The road is long. I don't want to go back to the past, nor do I want to change myself. I can't escape at all. Even if I escape from the abyss called "home", I can't live a good life. They are like two lingering shadows, chasing me all the time. I can't get rid of them. I'm tired. I wish you didn't go out for some fresh air last night."
The boy's narration was full of fatigue and powerlessness, and the deep despair was like a hand reaching out from hell, dragging him into deeper darkness.
Lu Yao read ten lines at a glance, marked the important nodes on the data before looking up, "You don't need to change anything, because it's not your fault. Did you notice the little self just now? Being half-lifted and pulled by my father, I was walking sideways with difficulty. Everyone else walked past us indifferently, only he gave us a concerned look."
Huo Jiao was stunned.
Lu Yao inserted the pen cap into the pen head and stretched out his hand to Jiao Hua: "I have a suggestion. This time you go to rescue him and take him out. What do you think?"
Jiao Hua was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Lu Yao: "Well, because this time's tutoring is different from the previous ones, some adjustments need to be made. I can't explain it to you in detail for now. You will know when the formal tutoring starts in the afternoon."
Lu Yao used the mobile phone in the shopping street to send a message to Zhou Su and Ji Feiming, asking for a bowl of seafood noodles and asking Xiao Ji to deliver it to the Childhood Tutoring Center.
Then, she picked up the small black dragon ornament on the table and walked into the laboratory.
About twenty minutes later, Xiao Ji brought a bowl of fresh and hot seafood noodles. When
Jiao Hua saw Ji Feiming for the first time, she saw the uncle in a high-end suit and exquisite oily hair, and took three steps back, as if she saw something dirty.
Ji Feiming: "..."
Lu Yao came out of the laboratory and saw this scene. Seeing Ji in self-doubt, he explained: "This customer has some PTSD about suits. You go and do your work first."
Ji Feiming: "...Okay."
People who come to cram school for childhood are indeed a little sick.
Hu Jiao saw the elite uncle in suits being respectful to the store owner and was a little puzzled: "Who is he?"
Lu Yao: "The deliveryman in the store."
Hu Jiao: "...The deliveryman is dressed so formally?"
Lu Yao: "... Well, generally speaking, it is not necessary. This is his personal hobby, don't worry about it."
Huojiao sat down and took a bite of seafood noodles, his eyes widened: "This!!! It's delicious! Can I live broadcast it?"
Lu Yao sat down opposite him: "It was such a big deal last night, and I still want to live broadcast it?"
Huojiao thought about it and shook his head unhappily: "Forget it, I have to go to cram school soon, I really don't have much time. It's just that my occupational disease has come back."
Lu Yao: "By the way, will the Public Security Bureau come to you?"
Huojiao looked like a rogue: "Come if they come, who is afraid of them?"
When he was a child, he called the Public Security Bureau to report the man's atrocities, but every time there was no result.
At first, no one answered, but later he insisted on calling. Finally, two security guards came to the house to understand the situation, but they just asked a few questions and left.
The worst time, he was almost beaten to death, but the two security guards didn't notice anything.
The impact of the live broadcast last night was greater than Lu Yao expected. Before ten o'clock in the morning, the shelves in the store had been emptied three times, and there were still many people queuing at the door.
Lu Yao asked Xiao Ji to restock the goods and stay at the cram school to help.
Xu Xiaoxiao was too busy to stock the goods and receive customers by herself.
Near noon, Lu Yao received several guests who wanted to take cram school. All of them registered and arranged a time.
As a result, the cram school was in urgent need of cram school teachers.
Lu Yao asked the system to post a new recruitment notice at the door.
After lunch, Lu Yao called Xu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ji, and told them to close the shop for a break after selling out the goods in the afternoon, and there was no need to continue restocking.
Afterwards, she took out her key and began Jiaohu's childhood tutoring.
After the white light became brighter, Jiaohu opened his eyes, and they returned to the dark and narrow corridor.
But Jiaohu felt that something was wrong with his vision. The walls and railings became very high, and his vision became shorter and narrower.
Looking back and seeing a pair of long legs, he slowly raised his head, his eyes suddenly widened, "Lu Yao, what's going on?"
As soon as the words came out, Jiaohu immediately covered his mouth.
His voice also became tender and crisp, like a toddler.
Jiaohu realized that he had become smaller, and the Lu Yao in front of him was also a little different from the one he knew.
She was wearing a long trench coat and high heels, with her long hair tied up in a low bun, carrying a shiny leather handbag, and holding the handle of a large suitcase. She
looked much more mature than the original owner, but she still wore the conspicuous golden lotus earring on her left ear.
Lu Yaoteng reached out and gently pinched the top of Jiao Hua's hair, "What Lu Yao? Call me mom!"
Jiao Hua covered her head and took a step back, looking confused: "..."
What kind of weird role-playing is this?
Lu Yao took Jiao Hua to move into Room 306 next to Xiao Jiao Hua's house. The original neighbor had already moved out.
This apartment is not particularly large, about 90 square meters, with two bedrooms and a living room. Each bedroom has a bathroom, there is also a study, and a small kitchen.
Lu Yao's character is a 30-year-old capable mother who has just moved to Orange City with her six-year-old son Lu Hujiao.
Because Lu Hujiao is already six years old and will go to elementary school soon.
Hujiao sat on the sofa in the living room, looking desperate: "Is this a special tutoring program? Let me go through elementary school, middle school and college again?" Lu
Yao nodded: "You can understand it that way."
Hujiao: "What's the point of growing up again with those memories? Didn't you say it wasn't my fault? But in the end, you still want me to change."
Lu Yao sat opposite Hujiao, took out his mobile phone, turned on the selfie mode, and handed it to Hujiao: "To be precise, you are not yourself now. You are my child, so you look a little different from before."
The Lu Hujiao pictured on the mobile phone screen no longer looks like little Hujiao, but a little boy who looks 50% like Lu Yao.
While Pepper was stunned, Lu Yao continued: "Normally, cram schools would seal the memories of the students, and then Alfred would guide them. But your situation is a little special, so we decided to adopt a special tutoring method."
Pepper came back to his senses: "What about Alfred? Won't he show up?"
He no longer had any other ideas. He felt depressed when he thought that other cram schools could see Alfred, but he had to face the owner every day.
Lu Yao shook his head: "Of course he will show up, and he will still guide you when you were a child. It's just that the environment this time is special, and you know better than anyone that no one will save little Pepper, except yourself."
Pepper's face froze.
The owner was sometimes straightforward and cruel.
With just this one sentence, he couldn't refuse any of her arrangements.
Yes, he understood.
No one would save him except himself.
Pepper's shoulders slumped and he compromised: "What should I do?"
Lu Yao smiled gently: "Why don't you call 'Mom' first?"
Pepper: "..."
Lu Yao stopped joking and got up to go to the kitchen to get a few boxes of cakes and gifts that had been prepared in advance. "We just moved to the new house, so of course we have to visit the neighbors. Pepper, go out with Mom and lie down." Pepper
couldn't help but roll her eyes, slowly rolled down from the sofa, walked to the entrance to put on her shoes.
Lu Yao stood at the door, waited patiently for him to put on his shoes, and stretched out his hand to him.
Pepper paused for a long while before walking over and holding that hand.
The woman's hand was a little thin, but soft and warm, different from the woman's hand in his memory.
The two stood outside the door, and the sound of piano came from Room 305.
Lu Yao was going to go to a few houses nearby to practice his words, and then go to Room 305.
But the piano in Room 305 suddenly stopped. Jiao Jiao paused, took two deep breaths, and looked up at Lu Yao, "It's time to start."
It was like this when he was a child. The woman always wanted him to make her proud, so she enrolled him in many cram schools, including piano, math Olympiad, and calligraphy.
He was indeed talented and did well in every subject.
For this reason, his family bought him an expensive piano and he had to practice for several hours every day.
But men have fickle tempers. When they are happy, they will compliment each other, but when they are upset, they will suddenly take action without any warning.
This kind of situation where the piano sound suddenly stops is mostly when the man is in a bad mood.
Lu Yao turned around with Jiao Jiao and raised his hand to ring the doorbell of Room 305.
No one answered the door, so Lu Yao pressed the button several times and raised his hand to knock on the door: "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
After about two or three minutes, the door opened from the inside, and a handsome man showed his face from behind the door: "Who are you?"
Lu Yao pushed the door open a little and handed out a snack box: "Hello, I'm Lu Yao, the new tenant of Room 306 next door, and this is my son Jiao."
The man took the snack, lowered his eyes to look at the little carrot head standing by Lu Yao's legs, and smiled slightly: "You're welcome."
Jiao was frightened by the smile, and subconsciously hugged Lu Yao's legs and hid behind.
Lu Yao slightly bent down and hugged him, smiling awkwardly: "This kid is usually very naughty and shy when he sees strangers. I heard from the neighbors that you also have a child of similar age?"
The man nodded indifferently.
Lu Yao seemed not to notice the man's impatience and continued to chat: "I just heard the sound of piano coming from your house. Is it the kid practicing?"
The man's eyebrows raised a few wrinkles and he turned around and called out: "Hu Qi, come out and say hello to Auntie and brother."
Hu Jiao's real name is Hu Qi.
Little Hu Qi came out of the room with tears on his face.
The man noticed Lu Yao's inquiring look, his shoulders stiffened, and he explained dryly: "He didn't practice the piano seriously and always wanted to eat snacks. I just told him about it."
Hu Jiao stood at Lu Yao's feet and met Hu Qi's eyes. His mood was complicated and difficult to describe.
Hu Qi was confused and walked to the man obediently. He didn't react to his words and shouted "Hello, Auntie" crisply.
Lu Yao took out a stuffed toy that looked like a little black dragon from behind and handed it over. "Hello, little Hu Qi. It's the first time we meet, so I'm giving you a little black dragon. His name is Alfred. If you have any troubles, you can talk to him."
