Chapter 112 It's New Year's Day
After a few days of adaptation, Mandy settled in New York in 2004.
Su Chen did not let her live in the manor with him, and he himself did not live here forever, not to mention that James and Vesper always looked at him with strange eyes, just saying where you kid got one back.
In order not to let James and Vesper reveal their old background - mainly because the existence of sweethearts must not be known to Mandy - so Su Chen is planning to buy another small manor on Long Island, which does not have to be too large, and it is mainly to facilitate his "golden house to hide his charm".
Mandy has never been a person who enjoys it. She kept asking when she could teach her the complete gunfighting skills. Su Chen was not stingy and reluctant to teach it, but it was because he didn't have time.
Staying in the world of Haibian King for a few days. When he left, the real world happened to be New Year's Day on January 1, 2015, and he had to go home.
However, it seemed a bit unreasonable to leave Mandy behind. Su Chen thought about it carefully and decided to send her to the world of [Tearing Doomsday], preparing to let her learn gunfighting there for three months. This time, it was just a matter of convenience for him to do something else.
The Super Killer Girl was very satisfied with Su Chen's arrangement. She also wanted to see what the future world would look like. Su Chen prepared some small props for her, including the power exoskeleton equipment that can enhance physical fitness, and at the same time, she told her not to kill people in that world, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
This time I spent more than an hour getting in.
On the torn end of the world, the whole world has completely changed. Like the dark ages in the Middle Ages in Europe, after the end of the dictatorship of the Church of Jehovah, everyone, including John, is trying to learn and accept the arrival of the Renaissance era.
John welcomed Su Chen's arrival, but when Su Chen asked him to teach Mandy the art of gunfighting, he hesitated for a while. But in the end he agreed.
The reason is very simple. In this new era where everyone yearns for peace. The church and priests have long been yesterday. Maybe they will be judged by the newly established federal government.
In fact, if Su Chen no longer appears, John originally planned to completely forget his past, and this naturally included the "gun fighting technique" he learned.
However, he was still grateful to Su Chen for help. He could not repay this kindness, so John promised to do his best to teach Mandy what he learned.
Before leaving, Su Chen was a little worried and quietly pulled John and asked him to help take care of Mandy. Not only should he be careful of others, but also himself. The implication is that this girl belongs to me, so you can't let someone abduct him.
When John heard this, he smiled happily, "Leave it to me. I will let Mary take care of her."
Mary is the woman who was caught by John in the movie and sentenced to stolen. Su Chen felt relieved. After saying hello to Mandy, he returned to the real world directly.
Finally, he got a loli, but immediately sent it to another place. This behavior seems to be not worth the cost, especially before he had time to eat the super-killed girl, Su Chen always felt that he was losing.
Today in the real world is New Year's Day, and schools, factories, enterprises and companies are all on holiday, and the Ocean Research Institute where Su Chen's parents work is no exception.
When Su Chen arrived home, his father Su Kuian and his mother Ye Huilan had already returned early. The two also asked him where he had gone.
Su Chen said without changing his face and his heart was still beating. He just wanted to find a restaurant outside to order food. As a result, he found that the better restaurant was overcrowded and could only eat at home today.
"New Year's Day means having to have a meal at home to have an atmosphere. It's the New Year!" Ye Huilan smiled and poked her husband, and Su Kuian also took out a cardboard box from the bag on the table with a smile.
"What I gave you is a New Year's gift."
Su Chen took it and found it was a watch.
Su Kui'an explained: "We didn't catch up on your birthday. Besides, you are sixteen this year and have your ID card. In the future, your mother and I will treat you as an adult. The watch is just a symbol. It can help us remind you that no matter what you do when you grow up, you must think twice before acting recklessly when you get angry."
Su's father prefers preaching, but he always stops. Su's mother always has Xiao Gui and Cao Sui when it comes to educating her children, and never stands opposite her husband. The Su family only sings with red faces, but not sings with white faces.
Su Chen listened quietly without any impatientness. This is how he grew up with his parents' education when he was a child. He never felt that there was anything wrong with what his parents said.
There are fewer and fewer people wearing watches these days, but watches themselves represent many different meanings. Su Chen also understands his parents' meaning very well, just to remind him that as he grows older, someone around him needs to stand up at critical moments and remind him what to do. It is just because the Su family is in a special situation, and his parents can only use this watch to replace this intention.
When the watch is worn on his wrist, it means that there is an extra layer of constraint on his body.
Su Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. If his parents knew what had happened to him in the past few months, they would not know whether they would be disappointed or proud.
In just a few months, Su Chen gradually evolved from an ignorant boy who had never killed a chicken to today's murder without blinking an eye - although the people who killed were scumbags, never killed innocent people, and did not regard murder as a pleasure, he still changed a lot.
When asked about the price of the watch, Su Chen was immediately startled.
The watch is Longines, which is said to be a mechanical watch called the "Admiral Series". My parents paid a total of 23,000 yuan to buy this watch.
Twenty-three thousand is a bliss for Su Chen, but this watch is the most expensive gift he has received since he was a child.
Su Chen scratched his head and finally took off the communicator on his wrist, and replaced it with this mechanical watch.
Su Kui'an also asked him to throw away the communicator directly, saying that he was so adult and was wearing a cartoon plastic electronic watch that elementary school students didn't like, and it looked really undesirable.
This made Su Chen smile again. The communication devices in the future world are far beyond the technological products of this era for many years. In the eyes of their parents, they are just rags that "elementary school students don't care about"?
But he didn't intend to defend anything, he just took the communicator back to the bedroom to store it.
After a while, Uncle Xie and Aunt Zhou next door also came over, and the two families made an appointment to make dumplings together.
It made Su Chen arrive and thankful that Xie Lili made an appointment with her best friend to go to Jimo to take a hot spring bath and will not go home on New Year's Day.
But he also knew that Xie Lili didn't see Su Chen on New Year's Day, but during the winter vacation, she had plenty of time to stay by Su Chen's side.
"Xiao Chen has changed a lot recently. She looks more and more handsome. Thank you, don't you?"
Xie Lili's mother Aunt Zhou pulled Su Chen up and down, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. The more she looked at her, she almost pulled Su Chen to call her son-in-law.
Xie's father shook his head disregardlessly. He was also a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes when he was young, otherwise he would not have given birth to a beautiful daughter like Xie Lili. However, from his personal point of view, it is not good for boys to be too handsome and are prone to provoke little girls.
Especially the children these days are completely different from his era. Even if Su Chen doesn't provoke him, there will be people who will pester him.
When Xie's father said his point, the elders of both families nodded intently, and even pointed their eyes at Su Chen at the same time, but found that this boy looked around and looked at him, looking at him as if he was stupid, which made people itchy.
"Oh? I just realized... Xiaochen, have you grown taller again?" Aunt Zhou smoothed out for Su Chen, and also discovered another thing that interested her. "Take a measure quickly! I used to say that you would eat more so that you can grow taller in the future. Now, let's see how it is. Aunt Zhou is right?"
Su Chen scratched his head and said uncertainly: "It's 1.76 meters now? Maybe it's still growing."
Su Kui'an was 1.76 meters tall. The father and son took off their shoes and stood side by side and compared them. They found that they were exactly the same height.
Su's mother, Ye Huilan, is not tall, only in her early 1.6 meters. Because Su Chen was always thin and small before, her mother was still worried that her son would not grow tall in the future, and now she can finally feel relieved.
Su Chen complained in his heart. Xie Lili was not here, and he, the only junior, became the object of discussion or teasing between the elders of the two families, but he could not ignore it and could only sit aside helplessly, making things perfunctory.
After finally finishing lunch, Xie's father and mother said goodbye and left. Su Chen helped his mother clean the pot and wash dishes, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.
"Is there something wrong? Tell me if you have something, what else can I be embarrassed to say with my mother?" Ye Huilan was as her name was. At that time, Su Kui'an was attracted by her kind and considerate personality, so he tried his best to pursue her.
Su Chen nodded, turned his head and looked at his father who was smoking on the sofa in the living room, and said softly: "Let's wait a moment, let dad listen too."
After cleaning up the trivial matters in the kitchen, the mother and son came to the living room to sit down. Ye Huilan reached out to pick up the remote control and turned off the TV directly.
"My son has something to say to us." Before Su Kui'an could protest, Ye Huilan blocked his mouth.
Facing his parents' searching eyes, Su Chen said bluntly: "I'm going to skip the grade and take the college entrance examination in half a year!"
"What!?"
Su's father and mother screamed, thinking that they had heard it wrong.
"Xiaochen, this is not a joke! How can a school like No. 2 Middle School agree to you to skip the grade? Besides, can your grades keep up? You haven't finished the semester of the first year of high school, and being too ambitious is not a good thing!" Su Kuian said seriously. (To be continued)
