"The first condition I put forward is that you can't go out at night." Charles said, "You can understand this as a curfew, you can go out during the day, you can go anywhere, but you have to come back when the time comes. "

Leona said unambiguously: "If you want me to agree to this condition, then you must also agree to one condition."

"Everything is negotiable, Lena." Charles nodded.

"I don't want to go to school, but I know you really want me to go to school, to get along with teachers and classmates, to make some friends... To be honest, I don't need any of these, I know all that knowledge, and I don't need to make friends. "Leona said, "I promise not to sneak out at night, and at the same time, you must promise me that you will not force me to go to school."

Charles pondered for a moment, "Give me a moment to think about this condition." He asked, "Why don't you want to go to school? Is it just because you think school is boring?"

"Yes! That's a waste of time." Leona said, "I don't want to learn the knowledge that I have already learned with a group of children who don't understand anything. With that time, I can do other things. "

"Do you have any specific, ongoing plans for the future, Lena? So you don't want to go to school, and you need to spend the time you used to go to school to do something else?" Charles said sharply.

Leona said: "I'm currently planning, and I don't have a clear goal yet. I will let you know when I find the goal." She suddenly said, "Can I join your X-Men? My mutant ability is general Sex is wide, and the X-Men will need me."

"It's not the time yet. When I confirm that you are capable enough to take on everything, I will let you join the X-Men." Charles rejected her.

"Okay." Leona was a little dissatisfied, but she still said, "Let's continue to discuss the transaction."

"If you go out to play, you must tell me where you went to play, and you must also promise not to do dangerous things." Charles said, "This is my second condition."

"You're too cunning. This is equivalent to putting forward two conditions at the same time." Leona said, "So you also have to promise me not to interfere with my actions. You can't stop me wherever I want to go."

"Next is the third condition. Unless you are in trouble or someone wants to hurt you, you can't use your ability on ordinary people-I mean the kind of ability that is aggressive." When Charles said here His expression became serious.

"The ability to be non-aggressive." Leona blinked her eyes, "You know I'm good at doing little things to people's brains, won't you restrict me?"

Charles folded his arms and smiled. "Can I trust you, Lena?" He continued, "Can you trust me?"

"It's hard to say," Leona said slowly. "In some ways we do trust each other."

"You are a smart kid, and I believe you know exactly where the boundaries of your behavior are, and I also believe that you will protect yourself well and will not cause unnecessary trouble." Charles said, "I think I can do it here I trust you a little bit."

Leona thought for a moment.

"I'm going to tell you a story," she rambled on.

Charles froze for a moment at the unexpected turn of events.

Still, he said, "I'm ready to listen."

"I like watching movies, but there are only a few movies that can impress me. That movie is really interesting. I am very interested in the story it describes." Leona rested her chin on the table and stared at Looking at Charles, "There was an ordinary couple who had a lovely little girl, and they loved this child very much."

Charles made a gesture of listening carefully.

"But the couple didn't expect that the little girl they gave birth to was not an ordinary child, she was actually a 'demon' who survived in the world with the help of a human body. Since she was born, the couple's family has been one after another. First, relatives around them died for no reason, and then strange things happened one after another in their home. After a long time, the couple realized that the deaths of their relatives were not accidental. Those people were killed by their daughters. There was a monster. Then the couple went crazy, the mother had a mental breakdown, and the father started trying to kill his daughter. He wanted to stop her evil deeds, but he failed... After all, his daughter is not an ordinary human being. "

Leona paused at this point, "Do you think that couple loves their daughter?"

"There is no doubt that they are in love," Charles said, "It's just that in that case, they can't give pure love to their children. Why did the little girl in the story hurt humans? She did it out of her own subjective thoughts And hurt those people?"

"There are not so many reasons. Even if there is a reason, it is because of the terrifying nature of demons that want to harm humans. This is an evil instinct, and there is no other reason." Liona explained in a calm and rational tone.

She recalled the story, and continued: "Although the little girl is a terrible devil, she still has a kind of attachment in her heart, which is to be loved... I think this story is very interesting, and it has inspired me a lot. I was thinking about what kind of attitude they would take towards that child if their parents really gave birth to a demon in reality.”

Leona observed Charles' expression, "What if it were you?"

"I love you very much, and you have no doubts, Lena," Charles said with certainty.

"It's two different things. I didn't ask you about me anymore, and I didn't doubt your love for me. I just want to know how you would treat the devil girl in the story if you became the father of her?" Leo Na asked stubbornly.

Charles frowned, "It's hard for me to answer this question. I'm not a witness to the story. The choice I say now may not necessarily be the choice I made at that time."

"Most parents in the world love their children, but they will never love a demon child—unless they are a demon themselves," Leona said. "I actually know the answer. No one can give everything to the other." Unreserved love, even for parents and relatives. This world is fair and unfair. If there are two people who love each other, but one of them loves selflessly, the other's love is selfish. It's too sad!"

Charles couldn't help but smile, "There is no need to use this standard to measure love. Love between people is not measured by a scale. If you love someone, you have to be so fussy and worry about gains and losses. It's too sad!" He used Li What Oona just said was a little humorous, "Don't think like this, my child, everyone thinks that love is a kind of giving, and it doesn't ask for anything in return, but I don't think so. I love someone , not because of what this person can bring me or give me back, do you think I need the same 'love' from the person I love?"

"Lena, what matters is not who I love, what 'she' gives me in return, what matters is what this relationship can bring me—just like you." Charles emphasized his tone, "You said You like novelty, so you don't mind coming home with me and living with me, and so do I! I'm trying to love you, get used to you, I'm trying to be the father, and for the first time I have that The idea of ​​running a family is also a very novel experience for me. I have always been a leader, a friend, a teacher, a principal, but I have never been a father. The joy of living is to constantly To understand and explore new things I encountered, your arrival has added a touch of color to my life that is different from before, and this is what you brought to me."

Leona lowered her head and muttered: "Why are you full of big truths that only old men can tell?"

"Because I'm not young anymore." Charles whispered, "After so much, it's hard for me to maintain a good attitude all the time." He smiled, "But it's different for you. When it comes to your affairs, I always want to show the best mentality."

"Well, you succeeded." Leona muttered, "Although you still didn't tell me how you would treat the demon girl in that story, I don't want to ask this question anymore."

"What happened to that story you told?" Charles asked.

"The devil girl's parents are dead, and she killed them." Leona replied, "The devil longs for love, but that doesn't mean she won't hurt her parents."

Charles said, "Can you tell me the name of the movie?"

"No." Leona said, "Because this movie does not exist, I made it up to lie to you. I will tell you this story to see your reaction."

"Bad girl." Charles raised his eyebrows, "Did my reaction satisfy you?"

"Not satisfied, but beyond my expectations." Liona said.

She sat on the chair and stretched, and Charles said, "Go back to your room and rest, Lena, sleep is very enjoyable."

"Okay." Leona walked slowly to the door of Charles's office, and asked back, "We have reached the terms of the transaction? You put forward three conditions to me, but I only proposed two conditions, you take advantage gone."

"I think it's you who took advantage, because no parent would agree to such a willful condition like you, but I'm a rare enlightened parent. It's lucky that you met me, so you still took advantage." Charles laughed speak.

"I don't have to worry about it so much, so don't worry about it so much. Who made you my father and me your daughter?"

Leona made a face at him, then opened the office door and ran briskly back to her room.

The author has something to say: Leona: I find it annoying when some people reason with me, and I think that person sounds good when they reason with me [Sound and confident.jpg]
