[Zhongyingmei] I don't want to save you today

【three】

After Iris took the group of children out of the room, the crowded room instantly became empty.Emilia carefully picked a seat that was not too far away, sat down slowly, and kept the principle that silence is golden.

In fact, she didn't hate Charles, but she couldn't say she liked him either.Although I clearly know that Charles is not to blame for coming here, every time I think of my mother's cold, scumbag eyes, I can't help but feel resentful, but whenever the sadness and anger come into contact with Charles' blue sea-like eyes When he opened his eyes, he could only press down to the bottom of his heart in shame.Now I can only comfort myself, try my best to restrain my irrational thoughts, and live here.

Thinking about it this way, this seemed to be her only choice at the moment.

Charles also seemed to be used to this kind of quiet restraint, and the silent resistance that was neither soft nor hard.After adjusting her wheelchair and letting her get used to the environment here, she said, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Emilia nodded honestly.

Charles smiled softly: "That's good."

He pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Do you have any questions?"

Emilia hesitated for a moment, and many questions suddenly came out of her memory at that moment: How do you know my mother?How do you know I'm a mutant?Why did you take me over?What will happen to me?Will I be kicked out again?

But the hesitation was only at that moment, she pursed her lips, she didn't know why she asked an irrelevant question that had already been solved by Iris: "Where is this...?"

Charles smiled and said, "This is Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters."

Without waiting for her to speak again, Charles continued unhurriedly: "We accept all young mutants who are homeless or want to go to school, here you don't have to worry or be afraid, because everyone has the same experience as you .Whether it’s a classmate or a teacher, they are the same people as you. When you need help, you can stay here. When you can be alone, you can also choose to leave. Everything can be chosen by yourself, And we just help you have the ability to choose for yourself.

Maybe you don't think what's happening to you is a so-called gift, but we'll let you believe it.You'll make friends, you'll get cared for, and you'll get...love. "

love?

Will the word that no longer exists when she wakes up overnight and has the ability, will it really come to her again?

Emilia's eyes trembled slightly, and she whispered after a long while: "You guys sound...isn't it really a charity?"

Charles was taken aback for a moment, as if he knew what he was saying, and couldn't help laughing.

He strikes while the iron is hot, although he can't push too hard, but what should be asked still needs to be asked: "Now, are you willing to stay here temporarily?"

Emilia turned her face away and raised her sleeve to quickly wipe something away. Charles thoughtfully pretended not to see it, with soft eyes, waiting for an answer.

She turned her head and seemed a little embarrassed, but she still gave a small smile and nodded heavily.

Just when the atmosphere was warm and harmonious, the get out of class bell rang.Iris came in at the right time, asked a little girl to lead Emilia to make up for the unfinished breakfast, and then turned around and closed the door.

As soon as the person finished walking, her originally soft body leaned against the wall as if she had no bones.She folded her hands lazily and rolled her eyes.

"That's not bad, Charles, the skill of chicken soup has not diminished, and the sword is not old."

Charles pretended not to hear the savage malice in her tone, and shook his head modestly.

Iris snorted softly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's obviously the same thing, why do other girls' eyes turn red when you say it." She raised her head and looked up and down: "Sure enough, this face wants to Do you like it more with little girls?"

Charles did not speak helplessly, and retreated behind his desk to sort out the courseware.

Iris seemed to have completely forgotten the purpose of her coming, and her thoughts continued to diverge: "But what you said is quite right, so a little girl who grew up, since she knew how to protect herself since she was a child, the worst thing is not a sense of security. Rather..." She paused and didn't finish, "It's just that I'm not like you who can just say that word casually."

There were noisy footsteps outside the door, and Iris looked up at the time, guessing that it was time for class.Only then did she remember what she wanted to ask when she came here: "When will Kuaiyin come back?"

She complained: "It's been at least half a month since I left this time, and halfway through, in order not to reveal my location, I can't even send letters or make phone calls. What kind of relationship is this?"

Charles was rummaging through the bookshelf for materials for the next class, and after hearing the complaint, he calmed down skillfully: "It's coming soon, it won't be too long..."

Iris interrupted him: "Forget it, don't play with me, you said the same thing when I asked you yesterday. Not only that," she complained angrily: "I, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, When I asked you last week, you always answered like this!!"

Her expression clearly said "You are too much", Charles smiled wryly, what else could he say, besides other things, this young lady might want to tear down his office.

"Ring-ring--"

The class bell rang, and the fifteen and sixteen-year-old boys and girls filed in from the door, each found a chair and sat down.Several saw her and waved to her happily.

Everyone seemed to know why she came here to harass Charles, and several people couldn't help laughing.

Iris snorted softly, and gave the group of cubs a warning look.But in order not to disturb the class, I consciously walked away.Finally, he stepped on his little leather shoes and left.

Charles didn't come back to his senses so quickly, he was in a trance, and his thoughts went back to the summer before they separated from him.I don't know how he is now.

After being stunned for a while, Charles woke up from the memory.The students were almost all here, he secretly suppressed the inexplicable feeling, and asked the students to open the books.

The author has something to say: I really like writing about Iris talking to Charles. One person is eager to make the other person angry, and the other is pampering and tolerant like seeing his granddaughter again.
