[Zhongyingmei] I want to dye my hair

Angie was sent to this St. Alden Primary School, which was naturally carefully selected by Professor X.

The school is far away from the center of New York, although it is not prosperous, it is not remote either.The education method of this public primary school is completely in accordance with the six tasks of modern primary schools proposed by the American Association for Visual Guidance and Curriculum Research.

[-]. Improve children's health and develop children's physique; [-]. Improve children's psychological health and develop children's personality; [-]. Develop children's understanding of the social and scientific world; [-]. Develop children's skills for effective participation in a democratic society; [-]. , to develop children's values ​​in line with people's livelihood; six, to develop children's creative activities.

Although this elementary school is not big, all families in the town are willing to send their children here to receive education.

Influenced by the high-quality education reform since the 20s, the American primary school curriculum advocates the centering of academics, pays attention to cultivating students to master various basic knowledge and basic skills, and develops students' thinking ability; from the perspective of curriculum organization, primary school Comprehensive courses.Subjects at the school are grouped into six broad categories: Language Arts (both English), Society, Mathematics, Science, Physical Education and Health, Music and Art Education.

Language arts include education in reading, writing, literature, and oral English, while society includes knowledge of history, geography, politics, and law.

However, St. Alden Primary School separates out the comprehensive subject of society and divides education into subjects.However, considering the patience and learning ability of children of this age, each class is only 20 minutes.

Except for the social class, the children's other courses are taught in groups in another classroom.

The class is divided into groups of four, and An Qi happened to be in a group with only three people.Not surprisingly, she was sorted into this group.

Angie's four-person team is three girls and one boy, Angel, the cute girl with blond hair and green eyes in the back seat of Angel - Daisy, and the other is a girl with beautiful and exquisite appearance and excellent grades - Emma.The last boy was named Milo.Boys develop late, so Milo looks as immature as Angie.He has little curly hair.A shy little boy.

In math class, the four children faced each other two by two, holding pencils and writing arithmetic problems.

Fortunately, although An Qi has not studied mathematics systematically, she still knows numbers.The math problem of adding how much is not too difficult for the little girl.

For example, when saying "3+5=?", the little girl's eyes were blank for a moment, and she imagined how many pieces there would be if there were three cookies and five cookies together.

--profound!Eight dollars!

Look, how clever.

The little girl held the pencil happily and wrote a crooked number "8" on it.

Emma, ​​who had already finished twenty arithmetic problems, inadvertently raised her eyes to see that there were only two answers written in Angie's small notebook, and seeing someone's happy face, she couldn't help: "..."

——It's so stupid that you can't help but look at it!

Emma shook her head.

There are already two idiots in this group, and now there is another one.I hope these three idiots can be smarter and not lower the ranking of the group.She is still waiting for the group first prize at the end of the term.

"Your name is like my mother's."

"hold head high???"

Angie, who was counting cookies, was brought back to reality by the sweet and crunchy words.

She turned her head and looked at Daisy on the left.The little girl who gave her a lollipop in last history class.

Daisy does what she likes, and Angel naturally has a good impression of Daisy!

"What did you just say?" The little girl tilted her head and looked at Daisy.She didn't hear what Daisy said just now.

"Hush! Keep your voice down. Teacher Alice will talk about us." Daisy put her finger on her lips and glanced at the teacher.Her pair of clear and flawless green eyes moved flexibly, seeing that the teacher was not looking here, she let out a long breath, and whispered to An Qi: "I said, your name is very similar to my mother's name. Her name is Angela, your name is Angela."

"Ang???" Little Anqi blinked in confusion.

——so what?

"Why is it like that?"

"Hmm..." This time, it was Daisy's turn to be at a loss. "I don't know, maybe it sounds more similar."

The smart and excellent Emma really couldn't see it. She glanced at the two of them and said expressionlessly, "Angela and Angel both mean angels."

As she spoke, she also accurately spelled out the two words on the back page of the book, lifted up the small book, and showed it to the two of them.

"You are seven years old, why don't you even know the meaning of Aunt Angela's name?" Emma frowned.

Yes, Daisy's mother, Angela, is Emma's aunt, and the two are cousins.Emma is two months older than Daisy.

However, Daisy's focus is not on this at all.

"Wow! It really looks like O." Daisy pointed to the two neatly written words of her cousin, "Look, there is an A missing in the back!"

"Yeah!" Little Anqi nodded, appearing to agree.

Emma: "..."

—Stupid hoot!

Emma slapped the little book back on the table with a blank expression, and took a deep breath.She has given up hope for her cousin and this new transfer classmate.Just ask them not to lower the average score of the group too much at the end of the term.

Emma, ​​who was praying like this, felt her little skirt being gently pulled.

"...?" As soon as Emma turned her head, she saw Milo, her deskmate looking over with big innocent eyes, and said to herself eagerly, "Ai, Emma, ​​how do you do this question?"

Emma glanced at the "15-3" that Milo was pointing at, her delicate and ruddy mouth twitched, then she raised her face ferociously, and said in a very bad tone: "Yesterday, I obviously taught you , why it won’t work if you change the number?”

"Can't even learn such a simple subtraction? Did you listen to what I told you yesterday!"

"...well," Milo lowered his head lower and lower as Emma said, only showing the fluffy little curly hair, like a puppy with drooping head and ears, pitiful and wronged.

"It's equal to 12!" Emma rolled her eyes angrily.

"Yes, it's equal to 12!" Milo raised his head in an instant, and the cloudy weather turned sunny, with a bright smile on his fair and delicate face.

Emma: "..."

——Why do I think this person did it on purpose?

After Emma watched Milo write the answer, she gave herself a big smile and twitched the corners of her mouth in disgust.

—Look at this silly smile!I must have thought too much.

The disgusted expression on Emma's face was obvious, and it was not difficult for Milo to see it.He let out a "huh", buried his head in frustration, and continued to do the questions.

This time, not only "15-8", he didn't even ask "20-14", but successfully calculated the correct answer by himself.

Daisy, who saw all this in her eyes, twitched her lips, and attached to Angel's ear, sharing with her the gossip she had seen: "He likes Emma, ​​but my sister doesn't like him. I think he is too stupid gone."

Little An Qi, who was suddenly stuffed with a big melon, stared blankly: "...Ang???"

I saw all this through the miniature camera, and heard my Miss Angie's "ang" Paul with a long voice in doubt: "..."

——Are children nowadays so precocious?

Speaking of which, should I arrange Miss An Qi directly into the preschool class this morning? ? ?

Paul wiped his face, and really began to think about the possibility of going to school to "degrade" Angie now.

……

It is impossible to drop into preschool, and it is no child's play for children to go to school.It is impossible for the school to agree.

An Qi probably disagrees, because she just made new friends.

When the bell rang for the end of math class, Daisy asked her with a candy in her mouth, "Why don't you eat the lollipop I gave you?"

"Huh?" An Qi blinked, a little dazed.Today, the girl's many words made her feel confused for a moment.

Angie thought that the lollipop was a little gift from Daisy.

"I... plan to keep it and eat it later." Ah Fu said that it is impolite to open other people's gifts.

But Daisy doesn't care about that.

"Does your family also control you from eating sweets?" Daisy thought it was because of this, her eyes showed sympathy.

Her mother also controls the amount of candy she has, but it doesn't matter, she still has private money from her father, so she can secretly buy candy in the store.

Daisy, who somewhat sympathized, thought that Angie was reluctant to eat (not), so she generously gave Angie another marshmallow.

"Here! Eat."

Little Angie, who never refuses sweets, especially candies, peeled off the candy wrapper after receiving it, and stuffed the candy into her mouth.

Q bomb Q bomb strawberry flavored fudge is more fragrant and stronger than the original fruit flavor, filling the whole mouth.Sweet and sour, soft and glutinous, when you bite it down, it feels like the juice is exploding in your mouth, and the fruity aroma is overflowing.

"Ah, what a great time!" An Qi, who has always eaten lollipops and jellybeans, tasted this kind of candy for the first time. The fresh taste and sweet and strong strawberry flavor instantly conquered her.

"Is it delicious?" Daisy giggled, "Since you eat my candy, you are my friend!"

Emma, ​​who saw all this in her eyes, snorted, feeling that her cousin really didn't grow up.

This method of buying people with candy was learned from herself when she was three years old.At that time, in order to read quietly without being disturbed, she used candy to block her endless small mouth when she started talking.

"Uh-huh!"

An Qi nodded. She felt that she couldn't be stingy after making new friends, so she took out a small bag of candies that Paul prepared for herself today from her schoolbag, and poured them all on the table with a "boom".

There were at least twenty or thirty strawberry-flavored candies wrapped in shiny sugar wrappers. Little Angie stretched out her hand, and her pale hands split the pile of candies into two, and pushed them to Daisy generously.

"Give you!"

"Wow!" Daisy, who got more than a dozen candies at once, couldn't remember the sympathy she felt for Angie's inability to eat more candies.

"Emma, ​​look! Angie has a lot of candy!" Daisy said to her cousin, and gave Emma half of it.When An Qi saw her, she followed suit and gave Emma half of it.

A friend's sister is also a friend, just like Pietro and his sister Wanda in the first place.Angie is very generous to her friends.

Pietro said, good friends, learn to share with each other.

emmm...Although those words were said by a certain person who mostly fooled little girls with snacks, he would also buy small cakes for Angie from the dessert shop outside the school from time to time.After all, distance is not a problem for him at all.

Emma glanced at the candies on her table, then at what Angie and Daisy had left.Obviously, the amount of candy left by the two is only a quarter, and the remaining two quarters are all with themselves.

This ratio made the corners of Emma's lips hooked, and she was very satisfied.However, after she was satisfied, she did not accept all the candies, but each took two and pushed them back to the two.

"We are already seven years old, not three-year-olds who always eat candy." Emma raised her chin, with a little pride of "I have grown up", and by the way, she disliked the two who had not "grown up". a little girl.

"Okay." Daisy nodded as if she was not surprised at all, and took back her candy. Angie also followed suit.

However, she asked one more question: "Then what should we eat?"

Hearing this, Emma sat up straight, as if she should take it for granted: "Of course it's ice cream."

As soon as she finished speaking, Milo ran over from outside.He grabbed a cone in each hand and stopped in front of and behind the desk in a screeching halt. He handed one of the cones to Emma as if offering a treasure.

"Look - Emma! Vanilla ice cream!"

"..." Emma didn't speak, and reached out to take the cone in Milo's hand.She stuck out her small tongue and took a sip. The ice cream melted in her mouth, and the strong vanilla flavor spread throughout her taste buds.

"Not bad." Emma nodded, like a little queen, she gave a compliment, inexplicably noble and glamorous.

"Hehehe..." Milo, who was praised by the little queen, scratched his head and gave a smirk, and took a bite of the ice cream.What he was looking at was Emma, ​​not the ice cream, so that after taking a bite, not only was there a white "mustache" around his mouth, but even the tip of his nose.

"...It's so ugly!" Emma frowned, took out a small handkerchief from her schoolbag and threw it to him, feeling very disgusted. "Can't you eat well? Why is it dirty every time?"

"... Hiccup?" Little Angie, who was chewing the soft candy, inexplicably felt that she only ate a piece of candy, as if she was a little full.Like every time I go out to a picnic and see Jean and Scott feeding each other.

Holding this doubt, An Qi turned her head and put the candy away again.After doing all this, she still didn't forget to take a look at Daisy who was peeling off the candy wrapper and stuffing two or three pieces of candy into her mouth.

Seeing Angie looking over, Daisy looked like a little grown-up, patted Angie on the shoulder like a "come quickly", and said, "I've seen Milo trade ice cream for 'to Emma Twelve'." A handkerchief."

——Because Emma is a clean freak, she will never ask for a handkerchief that someone else has used.Especially if this is still a mouthwash.

Little An Qi who half understood: "Ang..."

——I always feel that I am different from them!

The little girl fell into self-reflection.

——It’s emotional intelligence!little baby.

The biological age is 10 years old, but she has only been exposed to the outside world for only three years. The girl whose psychological age is at most 5 years old always seems out of place with her friends because she is not precocious enough.

……

After one day's class, after school, little An Qi, who was completely confused by the teacher's lecture, walked out of the school with her little friend on her back.

Paul had been waiting for her to leave school at the school gate half an hour earlier.

"See you tomorrow, Angie." Daisy, a girl like a little sun, waved to Angie.

"Ang, see you tomorrow?" Angie nodded, imitating Daisy's words and replied uncertainly.

Emma, ​​who always had a perfect smile in front of the adults, also waved to Angie, and then got into her aunt's car with Daisy.

"Miss Angie." Paul strode forward and took Angie's schoolbag.

Seeing that Angie didn't resist, the school gatekeeper handed the schoolbag to Paul very familiarly, and then called out with a smile: "Uncle Paul", and then he was relieved.

It's no wonder that the guard was worried, after all... Paul's muscular body, which was about two meters tall, and his expressionless face, even if he put on a dark suit, couldn't conceal his fierce aura.It didn't look like a parent picking up their children from school, more like a kidnapper who wasn't very well disguised.

"Wow - Angie's dad looks so fierce." said Daisy, who was lying on the back seat and looking at her new friend through the rear window.

Emma just glanced at it, and then stopped paying attention.

"Judging from the way that person treats her, it's obvious that he's just a driver or something." Her tone was determined.

"Hey? Why do you say that?" Daisy looked at her cousin Emma.

"When you got along with your uncle, did he treat you like this?" Emma asked back.

That strong man looked fierce, but his attitude towards An Qi was...respectful?

Emma's clever little head gave this vocabulary.

"Who are you talking about?" Angela, the blond woman in the front seat, said, "Have you made new friends?"

"Yes!" Daisy laughed and nodded, "It's a new classmate, her name is Angie, and her name means angel like mother!"

"Really?" Angela said with a smile, "That must be a little girl like a little angel."

"Uh-huh!"

"Okay, girls, fasten your seat belts, we're going home." Angela started the car.

"Aunt Angela, why isn't my father here?" Emma asked suddenly.

Angela replied to Emma's words while backing up the car: "David has an appointment today, so I'll pick you up."

"..."

Emma who heard this sentence was silent, and the perfect smile on her face slowly disappeared.

This clever and mature little girl had her legs crossed, and her right heel tapped.His eyes narrowed, and their color gradually darkened.

The lively and lovely Daisy sensed the danger with her cub's intuition, shrank her neck, and kept silent.

Emma's mother died when Emma was born, and her father David raised her alone.David runs his own renovation shop, and the business is getting better and better.Such a single, widowed and wealthy man, although he has a daughter at home, still makes many women willing to be Emma's stepmother.After all, to have such a beautiful daughter, David's own appearance is not bad.David is mature and charming. The fact that he has not remarried or even talked about a new relationship for many years makes people feel that this man is very long-term.

But Emma didn't want to have a stepmother.

——Not only don't want to, but also don't allow this to happen!

She does not allow anyone to come and share her family with her!

Angie, who returned to the house Paul bought, didn't know the mood changes of her new friends.

After eating the dinner prepared by Paul, Professor X's video call popped up.

"Good evening, Professor Charles."

"Good evening, An Qi." Professor X replied with a smile, "Today is the first day of school, how do you feel?"

"Very good!" said the little girl, "I made a new friend, her name is Daisy, and she gave me her candy."

"She also has a cousin named Emma. She is so smart, she can do all the questions written by the teacher. Daisy said that she has won many prizes, as many as a wall!"

Seeing the little girl eloquently talking about today's events with high spirits, Professor X's smile deepened.

"Well, it seems that you had a good day today, and you also made very good friends."

"Uh-huh!"

Although the only boy in their group looked goofy, he wasn't too bad.It's not so good compared to the group of people who bullied Qin and Scott!

Also, it would be better if the time for the teachers' "long talk" that she couldn't understand at all was shorter.

"That's good." Professor X smiled and nodded, feeling relieved.

Sure enough, it was a good decision to let An Qi go to school outside.This will allow her to quickly integrate into society.

After chatting with Angie about other things, Professor X ended the video call.

"How is it?" Magneto, who did not appear in the video, asked his old friend.

"An Qi's condition looks pretty good." Professor X couldn't help laughing when he thought of the little girl talking to him with great interest just now.

"There is still about one and a half months before the summer vacation. When the school is over for the summer vacation, An Qi will almost be able to receive psychological treatment."

——“Go” for psychotherapy?

Magneto, grasping the point, frowned and asked Professor X: "Aren't you going to guide her yourself?"

——He remembered that his highly educated old friend also had a degree in psychology.

"No," Professor X shook his head, "I give Angel counseling, so it's inevitable that I will have some personal feelings."

Angie would, and he probably would too.Moreover, An Qi might not listen to his words.

"So, I plan to ask a professional psychologist to give her psychological counseling."

If a professional psychiatrist comes, she will analyze Angel's psychological problems more objectively and provide psychological counseling more objectively.

When he heard that Professor X really wanted to invite outsiders, he still acted as if he had made a decision.Magneto, who has always been trusted by his old friend, is noncommittal: "It's up to you."

But... he still wants to ask.

"You already have someone in mind?"

"Yes." Professor X nodded.

"who is it?"

"A psychiatrist with strong professional ability—Hannibal Lecter."

"???" Magneto, who didn't pay much attention to this aspect, looked puzzled.

Professor X smiled and briefly introduced this person to his old friend: "Lecter is a criminal consultant of the FBI. He is proficient in criminal psychology and surgical medicine. He has a great reputation in the psychology field. He is a genius who is rare in a thousand years."

"Sounds okay, have you seen it?"

"I met and talked to someone before. He is a very charming gentleman. He is knowledgeable, has a high attainment in classical literature and music, and has his own unique and deep understanding of social reality."

This is true.

Professor X is right on every point.But there was only one place that even he himself hadn't discovered.

——Hannibal Lecter is not only a rare genius in a thousand years, but also one of the few "smart people" in the world who has a memory palace.What he reveals is always what he lets people see, including thoughts and memories.

This man's thinking has surpassed the limit of human beings, and he has "sublimated" himself to the limit that human beings cannot touch.
