On the way back to the cram school from the Super Power Research Institute, Lu Yao asked: "What did you do at the institute?"
Huo Jiao put his hands in his pockets, his expression calm: "Ability test, physical examination, and ideological correction. I just arrived not long ago, and the formal experiment has not started yet." Lu
Yao frowned: "Are you going to be an experimental subject in the future?"
Huo Jiao scratched his hair: "I don't know. The consequences of the live broadcast that night were serious, and I must be responsible for my actions."
Lu Yao felt something was wrong. Huo Jiao should be responsible for his own actions, but there should be no direct connection between him and becoming an experimental subject.
Lu Yao said, "Apart from being an experimental subject, is there no other solution?"
Hu Jiao shrugged, "If my parents come to negotiate and pay the corresponding compensation, I don't have to be an experimental subject. But you know, my parents can't come to negotiate, and I don't need it."
He would rather be an experimental subject than accept charity from those two people.
Hu Jiao saw the reluctance in Lu Yao's eyes, and thought of the experimental subjects he saw in the research institute, including teenagers and adults.
Some of them could not control their own abilities, some could not get along well with the people around them, and there were also some orphans, almost all of whom had nowhere else to go and finally became experimental subjects.
When Hu Jiao first arrived at the research institute, he was actually quite uncomfortable.
Perhaps subconsciously, he felt that he had not yet reached the point of desperation.
But the fact is that there is no difference between him and those experimental subjects.
No home to go back to, no one to rely on, no worries.
Huo Jiao comforted Lu Yao in a relaxed tone: "The life of an experimental subject is not that terrible. It's pretty good in there. There's food and drink, entertainment venues, and I heard that they even get paid."
Lu Yao nodded in response.
Huo Jiao may not have noticed that he didn't care about anything before, and he didn't know when he had learned to comfort others.
Back at the cram school, Xu Xiaoxiao saw Lu Yao, and looked like he had seen a savior. He pointed to the cram school room and mouthed that there was a guest.
In the cram school room, Bai Yi was pouring tea for the guest.
The woman sitting at the table was elegantly dressed and radiant. She lowered her eyes to glance at the teacup that Bai Yi handed over, but did not move. She asked anxiously, "Where is the owner?"
Bai Yi sat down opposite her and said, "The owner has something to do this morning. I can make an appointment for you here."
The woman raised her eyelids to look at Bai Yi, then lowered her head to look at the girl beside her, her brows slightly furrowed, "I'll wait for the owner to come back." The
woman's eyebrows revealed strength, and she spoke with her own opinions. It seemed that she would not easily listen to suggestions.
It was Bai Yi's first day at work, so he did not dare to make his own decisions. Lu
Yao came in and heard this, so he walked over and said, "Who wants to make an appointment for childhood tutoring?"
The woman raised her eyes and looked up and down, "Are you the owner?" Lu Yao
nodded.
The woman stood up with a smile on her face: "Hello, my last name is Chen. I heard that this place can help children correct their bad habits, so I brought my daughter here."
Ms. Chen pulled the girl next to her to stand up: "My daughter is Sang Li, who just started college."
Sang Li almost had the word "rebellious" written on her face - her long dark purple hair was loose, her makeup was so heavy that it blurred her age, and a section of black chain-like patterns were exposed under her collarbone. She wore more than a dozen colorful bracelets of different sizes on her wrists, and she was chewing bubble gum in her mouth.
Sang Li lifted her eyelids to look at Lu Yao, then lowered her eyelashes and said nothing.
Lu Yao asked Huo to wait for two minutes and sat down opposite Ms. Chen: "Is it Sangli who wants to make an appointment for tutoring?"
Huo glanced at Sangli, walked lazily to another round table, pulled out a chair and sat down, reaching out to touch Alfred who was sleeping on the table.
Ms. Chen sat down, her eyes still on Lu Yao, "Yes. She used to be very well behaved. She was far from home when she went to college, and I couldn't control her. I don't know when she learned bad habits, messed up her hair, and tattooed all kinds of messy things on her body. Now she doesn't listen at all, and she talks back when I say something to her. I saw your video on the Internet, and I think you said it very well, so I wanted to ask you to persuade my stubborn daughter."
Since Sangli came back from vacation, Ms. Chen has never relaxed her brows when she saw her daughter who was completely different from before.
She quarreled and scolded, and even hit her twice when she was angry, and asked people to persuade her. But her daughter, who used to be obedient and sensible, seemed to have changed into a different person, and she didn't listen to anything she said.
Ms. Chen was really at her wit's end.
She happened to see a clip of a broadcast edited by someone else online, and saw Lu Yao advising her daughter to eat pepper. She suddenly found directions in the comment section, and brought her daughter directly to the cram school.
Bai Yi sat next to Lu Yao, with a notebook under her hand, recording the customer's situation.
Hearing Ms. Chen scolding Sang Li like this, her brows furrowed.
Lu Yao listened to Ms. Chen's complaints, took out a childhood test form from under the table, and pushed it in front of the taciturn person beside her, "Sang Li, fill this out first."
Sang Li was indifferent to Ms. Chen's accusations, glanced at Lu Yao, picked up the pen beside her, and looked down at the test form.
Lu Yao explained to Ms. Chen: "We need to understand Sang Li's situation first, so that we can formulate a tutoring plan later."
Ms. Chen leaned over to see what Sang Li was writing.
Sang Li's shoulders were stiff and the tip of her pen was stuck.
Lu Yao said: "Sang Li's mother, there are some precautions about childhood tutoring. Let me tell you first."
Ms. Chen looked up, "Okay, you go."
Lu Yao explained that tutoring requires taking finger bones.
Ms. Chen was originally very interested, but her face changed when she heard this: "You want to take a piece of bone from my daughter's little finger? How can this be possible?"
Lu Yao explained that this is a necessary step for childhood tutoring.
Ms. Chen's face was cold, no longer enthusiastic: "You want to travel through time? It's simply a fantasy. I heard that your superpowers are neither offensive nor rare. You can even make up a lie about going back to your childhood for tutoring. It seems that what the Internet said is right, it's all a trick. I'm afraid that live broadcast was also directed and acted by yourself."
Bai Yi's eyes widened and his gaze moved to the store owner.
The store owner also has superpowers? She didn't know this yet.
Bai Yi knew that Lu Yao was different from ordinary people. Even the Tianji Ji family was used by her. He also understood that she had special abilities, but he didn't think of it in terms of superpowers.
Last night Lu Yao told Bai Yi that there were superpowers in this world, but seeing Ms. Chen's reaction at this time, Bai Yi felt that it was different from what she imagined.
Come on, that's a superpower.
There are no superpowers in their world, and everyone dares to dream of traveling through time and space, reincarnation, and rebirth.
Why do people here seem to have no fantasy nature?
Huo Jiao behind him snorted and laughed: "Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, just go."
Ms. Chen raised her eyebrows and glanced at Huo Jiao with an unpleasant look.
Sang Li, who was filling out a form, also looked up at Huo Jiao.
Lu Yao did not explain too much, but only mentioned lightly: "He is a cram school student."
Ms. Chen's lips moved up and down, as if she was mumbling, but no sound was heard.
She stood up and grabbed Sang Li, who was still filling out the form, and strode out of the cram school with a sullen face.
Bai Yi stood up and did not dare to speak.
Lu Yao tilted his head and looked at the mother and daughter pulling each other away, but he was not angry.
The more stores he opened, the more customers he met with various personalities.
A person's judgment of things often does not exceed his own understanding of the world, and prejudices and misunderstandings often arise from this.
Huo Jiao was holding Alfred's ornaments and couldn't wait any longer.
"Lu Yao, it's time for my tutoring." Lu
Yao turned around, "Okay."
After that, she called Bai Yi: "You come with us."
Bai Yi took a time-travel adaptability test last night.
She was in a fog at the time and didn't feel anything real.
When she returned to her residence, she gradually came to her senses and didn't sleep all night. Arriving at
the store early, Bai Yi was sure that last night's experience was not a dream, and she was still trying to adjust her mentality.
Being called suddenly, she was a little confused: "What should I do?"
Lu Yao: "Don't be nervous, you don't have to do anything for now, just get familiar with the work content."
Huo Jiao was shy and didn't want Bai Yi to participate in his tutoring.
Lu Yao did not disclose the content of Huo Jiao's tutoring.
Bai Yi just turned into a passerby, observing and experiencing the tutoring life.
Lu Yao and Huo Jiao returned to their residence in Jinju Community, and it was time to go to school in the early morning.
Huo Jiao just came to his senses when the doorbell rang.
Hu Qi's childish voice came from outside the door: "Brother Huo Jiao, it's time to go to school."
Huo Jiao ran to the room to get his schoolbag, and Lu Yao went to open the door.
Hu Qi was standing outside the door with his schoolbag on his back. When he saw Lu Yao, he greeted him politely: "Hello, Aunt Lu."
Lu Yao grabbed a handful of candy from the coffee table and stuffed it into his mouth: "Pepper will be out soon, wait a moment."
A few minutes later, an adult and two children walked along the corridor to the elevator entrance, ready to go downstairs.
Lu Yao attended classes at Jinju Primary School, and went in and out with Pepper every day.
Pepper was always with Hu Qi, and Hu Qi would go out and come home with them in the morning and afternoon.
Less than a week after school started, the three of them had already gotten used to it.
Hu Qi's mother secretly observed him for a few days and found that Lu Yao was gentle and easy to talk to. He was no longer as timid as he was at the beginning, so she felt at ease and let Lu Yao help her pick up and drop off the children every day.
Hu Jiao was annoyed with Hu Qi's parents, but every time he saw Hu Qi's ignorant and secretly getting close to him, he was speechless.
After taking the elevator downstairs, Lu Yao saw that it was still early, so he took the two children to a breakfast shop in the community to eat fresh meat buns.
Hu Qi was a little reserved, pursing his lips and secretly looking at Lu Yao's expression.
Lu Yao ordered three baskets of steaming buns and placed one basket for each of them, "Little Hu Qi, do you like sweet soy milk or light soy milk?"
The buns had a thin skin and a large filling, emitting hot steam, and the fragrant smell went straight into the nose.
Hu Qi swallowed his saliva uncontrollably, and his voice was very low: "Sweet soy milk."
Hu Qi had almost never experienced such an experience, and his cheeks flushed slightly.
Lu Yao turned around and ordered three cups of soy milk, two with sugar and one without.
Hu Qi likes to drink sweet soy milk, and there is no need to ask, Huo Jiao must like sweet ones too.
Lu Yao saw that Hu Qi was embarrassed, so she took a bun from the cage and put it in the empty dipping saucer in front of him, "Eat it, and we'll go to school after we finish eating."
After that, she took another bun for Huo Jiao.
Huo Jiao had no memory of having breakfast with his parents in the bun shop downstairs.
Such a trivial matter made Huo Jiao's nose sour, and he kept his head down.
If... if Lu Yao was really his mother, how great it would be.
Huo Jiao couldn't help thinking.
After eating the buns, Lu Yao drove the two children to school.
Lu Yao is a physical education teacher, and his office is just at the edge of the playground.
She separated from the two children at the door of the office.
Jiao Jiao took Hu Qi and slowly walked up the stairs and into the teaching building.
In the crowd, the little girl with two pigtails and a pink schoolbag on her back walked slowly on the playground.
She just saw from a distance that the woman who was suspected to be the owner walked into the sports office. After hesitating for a few seconds, she quickened her pace and walked to the door of the sports office.
The little girl poked her head inside, raised her hand and knocked lightly on the open door, and tentatively said: "Owner?"
There was only one female teacher in the office, who looked like Lu Yao, but was much more mature than the owner Bai Yi knew.
Lu Yao raised his eyes and smiled: "You're here."
After confirming that it was the owner, Bai Yi slowly exhaled.
Even she became like a child, so it's not surprising that the owner became more mature. Lu Yao
saw that she was a little nervous: "How do you feel?"
Bai Yi, who looked like a little girl, showed a little excitement in her eyes, "It's very interesting."
Bai Yi woke up in this world, and while accepting her new identity, she almost experienced the feeling of being a child again from a child's perspective.
This way of tutoring is more interesting than she originally understood.
Bai Yi even felt a little jealous.
If this store opened in their world, it would surely be extremely popular.
Lu Yao nodded, "You will be in Huo Jiao's class, but you don't have to contact him. In the future, you will also guide the tutors like me, but there is no rush for now. Just treat this time as experiential teaching." After
Bai Yi finished talking to Lu Yao, she went to find the classroom with 100% curiosity.
She was a passerby, so no one would doubt her even if she suddenly joined this class.
Bai Yi recognized Hu Qi when she walked into the classroom. His eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to the grown-up Huo Jiao.
She was sitting behind the two of them, and when she sat down, she couldn't help but observe the two little kids in the front row.
After listening for a while, Bai Yi realized something was wrong.
It seemed that the boy next to him who looked a bit like Lu Yao was the tutor, and his name was also Huo Jiao.
Then who was the boy next to him who looked like Huo Jiao?
Bai Yi was confused.
The two people in the front row had no idea about this.
Hu Qi secretly brought Alfred to the classroom again, and was carefully opening his schoolbag, happily calling Hu Qi to look.
After Hu Qi finished his first tutoring session, he thought deeply for a long time.
What on earth should he do to protect his silly self when he was a child?
Hu Qi could feel that Hu Qi was very clingy.
And compared to himself, he might actually like Lu Yao more.
During the tutoring period, Lu Yao was really like a mother with a mild temper.
Not only Hu Qi, but even he would be confused sometimes if he didn't pay attention.
And when Lu Yao was not around, he became the one who was clingy to Hu Qi.
If it weren't for the tutoring session, Hu Qi wouldn't have known that he was so naive and a little stupid when he was a child.
Bai Yi stared at the backs of the two furry heads in the front row, unable to guess what the two kids were looking at under the desk.
The time at school was relaxed and comfortable.
Before she knew it, it was already afternoon. Lu
Yao set a shorter stay time for Bai Yi, only one and a half minutes.
After school, Bai Yi walked out of Jinju Primary School. A white light flashed in front of her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was already back to the cram school.
Bai Yi looked down at the timer on the table. It was one minute and thirty seconds, exactly the same.
It was hard to imagine that she lived in that world for a day, but only one and a half minutes had passed in the cram school.
Bai Yi supported herself on the table and wanted to get up and take a look outside. Suddenly, her feet went soft and fatigue surged like a tide.
Bai Yi supported her forehead with her hands and sat there to relax.
After a while, Lu Yao and Jiao also came back.
Hu Jiao was completely different from the energetic look he had been a few minutes ago. His eyes were gloomy and red.
Lu Yao sat beside him, put his hand on his shoulder, and spoke to him in a low voice.
During the last minute of tutoring, Lu Yao went out to buy groceries, leaving Hu Jiao and Hu Qi to look after the house.
Not long after Lu Yao left, Hu Qi was called home by his mother.
After Hu Qi left, Hu Jiao felt something was wrong, so he ran to the next door and knocked on the door. He saw Hu Qi, who was beaten black and blue by a drunk man.
The crying child saw him standing stupidly at the door and told him to go home in a hoarse voice.
Hu Jiao stood there, his hands and feet heavy, unable to move.
He suddenly realized a cruel fact: whether in the past or now, he was cowardly and could not save anyone.
Hu Jiao shed tears, her heart ached so much that she was about to suffocate. She tightly grasped the hand on her shoulder and could not utter a word.
Hu Jiao held one of Lu Yao's hands, waiting for him to recover.
The tutoring environment had been carefully adjusted by her, and this kind of mistake should not have occurred.
The only reason Lu Yao could think of was that Hu Jiao, who had been trapped in a violent environment since childhood, lacked a sense of security. During the short period of time when she was away, he relied on his own consciousness to recreate the scene of being violently treated as a child.
Hu Jiao herself was unaware of this sense of contradiction.
Lu Yao was thinking about readjusting the tutoring plan, and he might have to go on another business trip.
