Chapter 234
Naturally, every child in this orphanage has a sad past that is difficult for ordinary people to accept.
Especially for those children who lost their parents after they can remember, it is a huge blow in life that is extremely difficult to overcome.
Xi Siling was not lucky, but she didn't seem to be that unlucky either.
Not only was Zhong Huai stunned, Tang Yang's hands also trembled and he almost spilled the water in the cup.
They didn't expect Xi Siling to suddenly ask about their own life experience.
When Xi Siling asked about her parents when she was a child, Tang Yang said, as if coaxing a child, that they had turned into stars in the sky.
When the children grow up a little, they understand what life and death mean and no longer ask about their parents.
Xi Siling is a calm and sensible child. If he didn't know something, he wouldn't have come back specially to inquire about his life experience.
Can...
The silence between the two instantly made the atmosphere quiet.
Zhong Huai held the chopsticks with a serious expression, and Tang Yang didn't even dare to meet Xi Siling's eyes.
If there wasn't some inside story, the two wouldn't have reacted like this.
Xi Siling realized it almost instantly. He sighed slightly and finally decided to let his two friends leave first.
"40..." Lin Zhipei was not interested in his friend's past, but he hoped to help 40, or at least face it with him.
Liuhuaqi thought so too, but there were always some things that they had to face alone.
The same goes for 40.
So there were only three people left.
Zhong Huai was not in the mood to eat and put down his chopsticks.
"Si Ling, why do you want to know your life experience?"
To be honest, he hadn't thought about how to face this day when it came.
Xi Siling didn't know what made the two elders choose to conceal and hesitate. If it were in the past, he would not have thought of "making things difficult" for them, but now he had no choice.
So he started to 'confess' directly.
The young man took off the contact lens on his right eye, and the scarlet eyeball appeared in front of the two people. There seemed to be an ominous aura swirling in it.
Tang Yang was stunned. She hurriedly came to sit next to Xi Siling and put her hands on his shoulders. "What's wrong with your eyes?"
"It's okay for now, Mr. Tang, don't worry."
The two teachers have almost spent the rest of their lives taking care of these children who unfortunately lost their parents and have no other relatives to adopt them. Teacher Tang's deep-seated anxiety proves everything.
Zhong Huai also frowned, "You weren't cursed by someone else's supernatural power, were you?"
This performance is really too similar.
"It seems about the same. Teachers, please listen to me slowly."
Xi Siling told the two teachers everything from the first time he discovered that his eyes turned red due to anger, to the time when he seemed to be possessed by someone else, and finally to his search for the secret text and the help of Mr. Cui.
When Tang Yang heard that Xi Siling almost fainted and started attacking his friends, he couldn't hold back his tears.
As the elders who raised the child, they only discovered it now when Si Ling mentioned it. This is really a dereliction of duty.
"Don't blame your teacher Tang!" Xi Siling explained anxiously, "I don't get angry often, so it's not your fault that I didn't notice it!"
Tang Yang sighed deeply, turned around and wiped away her tears.
Zhong Huai was also in a heavy mood, "So you suspect it happened before you could remember anything?"
Evil magic of this level is definitely not something that can be accomplished by a simple contact or invasion of supernatural powers. Xi Siling's suspicion is indeed based on facts and reason.
"Yes."
Xi Siling didn't expect that the two teachers would have such a reaction when it came to matters concerning her life experience.
"I have important things to do, so I will not give up my decision to continue being a mutant no matter what."
Perhaps it is the inevitable path in life and a test he must face.
"......"
Zhong Huai continued to remain silent, but this time it was not the "panic" after being surprised, but calm and thoughtful.
Tang Yang carefully inquired about the details of the possession, including the judgment conclusion and method given by Cui Benji.
"So we have ruled out blood, and now we are looking at important things like souls, abilities, and the heart?"
"Well, probably."
"Si Ling." At this moment, Zhong Huai finally spoke, "We and your father used to be very good friends."
Xi Siling was stunned. This was something Zhong Huai had never mentioned before.
"Zhong Huai..."
"His name is Xi Chengjun. Together with me, Tang Yang and I, we have formed a team of superpowers."
——
Young people are ignorant of the immensity of the world, but precisely because they are young and time is fleeting, it seems so precious.
Xi Chengjun became an orphan because of an earthquake, but the tragedy did not smooth out his edges.
"He is a man full of justice, courage and conviction. You are really like him now."
Xi Chengjun's family was well-off. According to his recollection, his mother was a gentle person and his father was a somewhat paranoid but generally a nice guy.
But all this became a thing of the past because of the earthquake, and Xi Chengjun was sent to an orphanage by rescuers sent by the government.
After entering junior high school, Xi Chengjun met Zhong Huai and Tang Yang. The three of them hit it off and became good friends.
"After graduating from the supernatural school, the three of us chose to venture into the supernatural world first. At that time, your father met your mother, Ruo Ling. After they got married, our team was temporarily disbanded."
Although they disbanded, they were still full of hope for the future at that time.
Zhong Huai joined the Institute of Superpowers in order to accomplish something big, while Tang Yang was invited to join a superpower organization, but later withdrew.
"We have always been in contact. Many years later, I became the head of the Institute of Supernatural Powers, and your father suddenly came to me holding your newborn baby."
It was a rainy night, and Zhong Huai could even remember the sound of raindrops exploding into tiny silver flowers on the bluestone slabs.
Xi Chengjun looked a little embarrassed as he held the young Xi Siling in his arms. The child started crying because of the cold, and he was at a loss as to what to do.
"His name is Xi Siling, and he is the child of A Ling and me."
As Xi Chengjun spoke, he handed Xi Siling to Zhong Huai.
There was sadness, reluctance, and determination in his eyes.
"Chengjun...what happened to you?"
Zhong Huai took the child with trembling hands. He had never held a baby before.
It's so small and soft that it looks like it would get hurt if you apply the slightest force.
"Sorry... Tell Ayang that we won't be going back this year..."
They would pick a time to get together every Spring Festival. They are important friends to each other.
Just as Xi Chengjun was about to leave, Zhong Huai grabbed his arm.
"What happened to you! Tell me! I..."
"A Ling is dead..."
Xi Chengjun did not look back, but controlled his emotions and said this heartbreaking fact with gritted teeth.
Zhong Huai stood there in shock.
"I...have to go too."
After a long while, Xi Chengjun raised his head, looked back at Zhong Huai, and gave an ugly smile.
"I'll leave this child to you. I only trust you and Ayang."
Just like that, Xi Chengjun left and never returned.
Of course, Zhong Huai also investigated where Xi Chengjun and Ruo Ling had gone, but the two of them seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Not to mention where they had gone, no one even knew what they had done.
Then, Zhong Huai was ostracized by the government and Lao Deng of the Institute of Supernatural Powers. In order to protect Xi Siling, he left and came here with Tang Yang to build an orphanage.
——
"So...I didn't come here when I was two?"
"Strictly speaking, I can't say that I deceived you. After all, this orphanage was built when you were two years old... Ouch!"
Zhong Huai is just like this. He wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but was punished by Tang Yang again.
"I'm sorry, we don't know what your parents went through." Tang Yang said seriously.
They learned about Ruo Ling's death from Xi Chengjun, but they had no way of finding out whether Xi Chengjun was dead or not.
Xi Siling shook her head, "Teacher, you don't have to apologize to me."
If his father, the man named Xi Chengjun, is as the teachers said, a man with a sense of justice, responsibility and courage, then he must have something important to do even if it means abandoning his own children.
Xi Siling would not blame him, and naturally would not blame the teachers who concealed the truth.
"So, whether your red eyes are related to your parents' experiences, Tang Yang and I are really not sure."
It is impossible to be sure, but Zhong Huai believes that there must be a connection.
They have already lost an important friend, and they cannot be unable to protect their friend's orphans.
"I'll find a solution for you, Si Ling. Don't be nervous."
As Zhong Huai said this, he was actually starting to get nervous.
The thought that Xi Siling might be possessed by an unknown being...
"Why don't you stay with your friends first, Siling?" Tang Yang suggested with concern.
Xi Siling did not refuse. They still had to prepare for the Alien Network Festival, and of course a familiar and safe environment would be best.
"Besides this, I have something else I want to ask."
Zhong Huai spoke suddenly, and his gaze stayed precisely on the neck where Si Ling's hair was tied.
"What's that...little thing?"
Xi Siling blinked, a little surprised. Xiao Yigong's aura was almost zero. 77 said that he would not be able to detect it if he did not observe it deliberately, but Teacher Zhong Huai discovered it so easily.
So he took out the still sleeping Xiao Yigong.
"This is..."
This little guy is so cute, but Tang Yang thinks he just looks like a little rag doll.
Although Zhong Huai was aware of the existence of Xiaoyi Palace, he didn't know what it was exactly.
"Its aura makes me a little uneasy, but Siling, you don't seem to be worried about it?"
After all, Xi Siling had never introduced Xiaoyi Palace, so it was normal for Mr. Zhong Huai to be suspicious.
"This child, I call him Xiao Gong, is a child who loves to sleep."
But to introduce him in detail, we have to mention the story of the Liuhua family.
Xi Siling had not yet asked Liu Huaqi if he could tell her, but before he even mentioned it, he heard 77's voice ringing in his ears.
"You can say, I trust the people you trust."
77 has been maintaining the lowest frequency of exploration of the surrounding environment to prevent any ignorant people from the He family from following and endangering the children in the orphanage.
"Sorry...I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
Xi Siling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't mind letting his friends leave just to reassure the teachers.
Their relationship is probably the same as the relationship between Xi Chengjun, Zhong Huai and Tang Yang.
