Chapter 1 Family Issues in New Life
"Ah..." An extremely sharp cry made the boy who was still in a hazy state roll down from the bed gorgeously, and then fell heavily on the floor with a thud.
Anyone who is stimulated like this in a comfortable sleep will find it difficult to maintain a stable sleep. The teenager Zhou Yi simply rolled up the sleeves of his pajamas and decided to give a good look to the guy who disturbed his rare vacation.
"Ah..." The piercing screams continued, Zhou Yi had already pushed open the door of his bedroom, walked to another door with a teddy bear hanging, knocked viciously on the door, and said loudly.
"Sharis Ferguson, if you can't give me a good reason, trust me and I'll let God know what a grievous mistake it was to disturb my sleep."
"Don't come in, go away!" The girl's sobbing cry came from the room, and the cry immediately burned the fragile fuse in Zhou Yi's brain.
"What the hell happened, Xia Ruisi, hurry up and open the door, I'm your brother, I have to know what happened to you!"
"No, no, go away, I don't want you to see me." The cry in the door immediately rose, and then became whimpering again, apparently the girl had covered herself with a quilt.
Zhou Yi, who didn't know what was going on, became more and more anxious. Now the adults in the family are probably going to work long ago. The only ones left are himself, who is the elder brother, and Xia Ruisi, who is the younger sister, so no matter what, Zhou Yi felt that he had to To see what happened to my sister.
In such a fiery state of mind, Zhou Yi couldn't care about the reasoning that he should take care of his personal things. With a sudden force of his hands holding the doorknob, he immediately ripped open the tightly locked door.
Inside the door is a typical girl's bedroom, full of dolls and puppets, but at this moment, the owner, who was very fond of these things, threw them all over the floor. As the initiator, Sharis, like a frightened little hamster, buried herself firmly in the quilt.
"Darling, what happened, Xia Ruisi, tell me quickly." Zhou Yi strode to the bed and suddenly lifted his sister's quilt. Then he said in a daze. "Damn, what the hell is going on?"
The familiar little sister in the memory of the quilt has completely changed her appearance. Her brown hair has completely turned into wine red, her blue eyes have also turned into a strange emerald green, and there are strange patterns around her eyes. Zhou Yi can Certainly this is not something man-made, but a pattern that grows naturally.
And this is not the most terrifying thing. What surprised Zhou Yi the most is that Xia Ruisi's ears have turned into pointed ears like elf, and her half-sister is actually an elf. God, you are definitely kidding me. At this moment, Zhou Yi can only comfort himself with such a rant. But he knew very well that something big had happened.
"It is necessary for us to believe that mutants, a species lurking among us, are a potential threat to all human beings in the world. Their superpowers not only destroy the balance of nature, but also It is also a potentially huge risk to our security and social stability, and we call on every American citizen to always be vigilant when dealing with mutants around them..”
On TV, the spokesperson for the mutant threat theory from the military spoke impassionedly in front of countless reporters. Zhou Yi, who was completely indifferent to such remarks, now only thinks that this military spokesman is simply disgusting to the extreme.
How could a mutant or something be a threat. Zhou Yi comforted his sister who was shivering in his arms. Looking at the obviously flustered mother with a firm look, he said, "The current situation is that even if Xia Ruisi is a mutant, she is still our most important family member, and just for her, 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 military officer, and then had Zhou Yi, but unfortunately, just like all those who set up FLAG, Zhou Yi's biological father said before a mission, "After completing this mission, I will go back to my hometown to get married." rhetoric, and never came back. So Zhou Yi and Zhou Lan together became 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 the two married quickly, less than a year later. There is now Sharis. Ferguson.
Sadly Anthony. Ferguson suffered misfortune in an airplane 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, Zhou Lan, and Xia Ruisi, who was not yet one year old, formed a single-parent family again.
However, compared with other single-parent families, because Zhou Lan is a fashionable and high-paying career, plus Mr. Ferguson's rich inheritance and huge compensation from the insurance company, Zhou Yi's family has lived a relatively rich life.
Especially after Zhou Yi's advice on stock investment got huge feedback, Zhou Yi's family basically didn't worry about money anymore.
Since there is no problem with money, Zhou Lan doesn't seem to care much about the idea of moving. She just looks at her son with some doubts and asks while comforting the unfortunate little daughter.
"I know that for the safety of Sharis, it is necessary to move, but why are we going to New York, we have many choices."
"I know what you mean." Zhou Yi sighed. "It might be safer to go to the west, but we can't let Charis stay in that kind of countryside for the rest of her life. Relatively speaking, I prefer Charis to be accepted by normal people, so I hope to bring Charis with me. She went to Professor Charles' Xavier School for Gifted Teens, where she could learn how to get along with normal people."
Xavier School for Gifted Teens, the name was just told by Zhou Yi to his mother. In his explanation, this school is specially set up for all kinds of mutant teenagers, with the core of cultivating mutants who can integrate into society. For the current family, it is undoubtedly a clear choice direction.
"Well, as long as you think so, for you and Xia Ruisi, I agree to do this." Zhou Lan spread out his hands, hugged Xia Ruisi, and said distressedly. "Oh! You must be terrified, my poor darling. Don't worry. Mother and brother will protect you, come! Let's go to bed and everything will be fine when we get up."
After speaking, Zhou Lan took Xia Ruisi into his bedroom. She believes that her son can handle things well. In fact, since Xia Ruisi was born, Zhou Yi has always played the role of her brother and father. Although she is only eight years older than Xia Ruisi, in Zhou Lan's eyes , Compared with those successful adults, his son is not inferior at all, or even better.
It is not polite to say that in this family, it is Zhou Yi, who is only sixteen, who speaks more seriously, not Zhou Lan, who is already a mother of two children. Zhou Yi's mature thinking and careful thinking since he was a child have made him play a more important role in this family. It not only helps Zhou Lan to organize the single-parent family in an orderly manner, but also acts as the only man in the family to stop the family. Lots of ups and downs.
Zhou Lan is well aware of this, so she has only infinite pride and trust in her son.
Watching Zhou Lan lead Xia Ruisi to close the door, Zhou Yi impatiently turned off the chattering video on the TV. With a hold of it, the TV's remote control turned into countless pieces of debris and fell on the carpet. And Zhou Yi didn't care about it, just stared at the dark TV screen and muttered to himself slightly.
"The mutants, the X-Men, and the Brotherhood seem to have to get in touch with you."
At this moment, his eyes seemed to have flames burning again. In the past and present, some things that have been lost and found are never allowed to be destroyed.
Under the arrangement of money, Zhou Yi quickly sold off some properties in his hands, and then bought two quite good apartments in the Upper East Side of New York through a familiar broker. Although these two high-end apartments near Central Park are surprisingly expensive, for Zhou Yi, who has sold a lot of IT stocks, it is still within the affordable range.
For the stocks in his hands, especially technology stocks, Zhou Yi did not take it very seriously, except for some shares of Stark Corporation and some stocks of Osborn Corporation. He almost sold his tech stocks cleanly. Of course, this is also a good practice to avoid risk.
After arranging the issue of assets, Zhou Yi began to arrange the issue of the itinerary. Although he really wanted to take Xavier to Xavier School for Gifted Youth as soon as possible, Zhou Yi also knew that a mutant who showed his appearance would easily become the target of some people.
In his memory, there were quite a few mutants held by the military as experimental objects, and Zhou Yi didn't believe that all of them were brought out of prison.
Therefore, it is impossible to travel by plane. Without a private plane, the strict security check will completely reveal the identity of Xia Ruisi.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yi decided to buy a RV to solve this problem. Although it is a bit slow, it is safe and private enough to have these two points.
After 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. Of course, Zhou Yi doesn't look down on her group of friends. Zhou Lan is engaged in fashion, and it is a profession of soy sauce itself, plus there are no good friends, so naturally there is nothing to give up.
As for Zhou Yi, it can only be said that he is completely out of touch with his age with the memory of his previous life. The circle of friends that he has created now is not a pity for him even if he throws it away. Anyway, he didn't put anything of value into it.
Then, the only thing left is to go. As soon as the sun comes out tomorrow, people here may be surprised to find that their neighbors who have been around them for many years are gone.
It's no big deal either. Maybe for some people, it's a good thing. At least for some degenerate youths, it's not bad to have one less child who is used for comparison every day.
