They hadn't spoken to each other for a whole year.
Hua raised his head and looked at Xiaoxuan cautiously, and found that her gaze passed over him and looked at Li Mo behind him.
Li Mo was spinning a sycamore leaf in his hand. When he noticed the new sight, he smiled brightly and raised his hand to greet the other party.
After seeing the pink eyes, she felt inexplicably happy and excited. She was deeply attracted by the quiet and elegant Li Mo and couldn't wait to come forward and communicate with him.
"Hua, is that your family?"
"Uh..." Hua was stunned. This question was asked a little suddenly. Li Mo told her that he was homeless.
Hua promised Li Mo that he could stay at home if his father agreed.
But Hua has not yet gained his father's approval, so it is uncertain whether Li Mo will become a member of the family.
"I don't know." Hua answered bluntly.
Before she could finish her words, Xiaoxuan adjusted her expression, smiled as sweetly as possible, and walked straight towards Li Mo.
Chapter 36 Past Events
Hua was stunned for two seconds, and immediately followed after realizing that something might be stolen.
After a brief self-introduction, Li Mo always manages to bring up new topics and never runs out of things to say.
They are two extremes compared to the introverted Hua.
Anyone who communicates with Hua will end up in deep silence, with both of them looking at each other in silence.
After chatting for an unknown amount of time, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and Hua's father and childhood friend walked in. They looked at the children who were happily chatting in the pavilion with a little curiosity.
When Xiaoxuan saw her father, she immediately ran to him and said, "Dad, I want to have dinner with Hua tonight."
"what?"
The man wondered why his daughter had changed so quickly, until his attention shifted to the boy next to Hua and he understood why.
Hua's father was also very confused, wondering where this child came from. He had not noticed anyone entering the courtyard before. Did he sneak in to find Hua's playmate when he was not paying attention?
But does Hua have any friends?
Li Mo's identity was very suspicious, but when Hua's father saw the gentle smile on Hua's face, he dispelled his concerns.
After the dinner, the two families went home, and Li Mo followed Hua back to the old house.
After further questioning, Hua's father learned that Li Mo had lost his memory and had been sleeping in a box in the master bedroom of the old house.
Of course, as a mature adult, I would never believe such a thing.
Hua's father thought Li Mo was lying, and the next day he asked his connections to check Li Mo's identity, but found nothing.
Black household?
This reminded Hua's father of the news he had seen in the media not long ago.
The news previously reported that a highly contagious plague had broken out on a certain continent, and it seemed that people in several cities had died, causing panic among the people.
Many refugees were taken to Canghai City.
Those who are able to work are assigned to suitable positions.
Children who are unable to work will be assigned to orphanages and can be raised by families in society that have the need and the conditions. He guessed that Li Mo was one of them.
He just didn't want to stay in the orphanage, so he ran away.
Hua's father had visited the orphanage before, hoping to find a suitable family for Hua.
Many wealthy families adopt smart children who are good-looking and have good learning abilities.
This group of children is the most popular.
The rest, more or less, were disappointed because they saw their homes in ruins and had nowhere to live.
Not to mention curing Hua, they themselves need psychological counseling.
A lively and cheerful child like Li Mo should have been taken in by a family in need long ago.
How did he get left behind?
Hua's father was very confused. Based on Li Mo's appearance and lively and cheerful personality, it was impossible for him to stay until now.
But since we have stayed together until now, it must be fate.
Of course, Hua's father was more concerned about the fact that Hua was indeed much more cheerful when he was with Li Mo than usual, so he came up with the idea of adopting him.
"Hua, can you accept having one more person in our family?"
"I……"
"It's okay, just speak your mind."
"Well, I... want it. Mo is very good..."
"Okay, I'll take care of the follow-up issues and register Mo as a resident of our family. From now on, you two will be family."
"Um……"
Hua lowered his head, pursed his lips, and raised his head from time to time. His peripheral vision fell on Li Mo quietly like a thief.
And every time they looked at each other, Li Mo would respond with warm affection and a bright smile.
Gradually, Hua couldn't help laughing.
This was the first person she had ever met who was willing to smile for her.
At that time, Hua had not yet realized how her answer would bring about earth-shaking changes in her life.
The next day, Hua went to school as usual, but this time there was someone accompanying him.
Hua was a little uncomfortable with the burning gazes coming from all directions and could only lower his head and look at his feet.
The two arrived at the school quickly.
Outside the classroom, Li Mo was stopped by the teacher. After all, he was new to the class, so he had to wait until all the students were seated before he could go in and introduce himself.
Hua returned to his seat, a corner where no one was sitting next to him.
"Hua, good morning."
Xiaoxuan came over and greeted him. Hua said "hmm" and responded, "Good morning."
This action attracted the attention of others. You know, the two have not spoken to each other since the beginning of the school year, let alone being friends. Why would they suddenly greet each other today?
The next second, Xiaoxuan asked shyly, "Hua, um, where is he studying? I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask, he's your family, why aren't you in the same school?"
Hua forgot how he replied.
Hua no longer remembered what happened afterwards. She only knew that Mo attracted everyone's attention because of his extraordinary appearance, special eyes, and humorous language.
Kindergarten, primary school, middle school...
Unlike the ordinary Hua, Li Mo is far superior to ordinary people in every aspect.
Canghai City is an international metropolis, and a good school in particular pays more attention to the cultivation of comprehensive quality abilities, rather than simply exam-oriented education.
Occasionally, some special departments even come to the school for assessments.
In the following academic career, whether it was subject exams or sports events, Li Mo could always easily win the championship, as if it was innate.
More eye-catching than ever before, Li Mo's appearance made Hua, who had always been on the edge, instantly become the focus of everyone's attention.
Time flies and years pass by in a hurry.
Between the walls of time and light, there is a dimly lit laboratory tacitly approved by the authorities. Various complex instruments and equipment are placed on the laboratory table, and the silver metal emits a faint silver light.
There was a pungent chemical smell everywhere, and many documents were left with messy sketches and formulas, recording the past experimental processes and thinking trajectories.
"Mine is big, bear with it."
"Snake, why do you sound like you're in prison?"
"Really? Anyway, for the sake of accurate experimental data, I won't use anesthesia. If you refuse now, you can get off the operating table."
"It's already nine o'clock. If I delay any longer I won't be able to catch up."
"Okay, I will take good care of you."
A horrifying operation was decided in a light and brief exchange.
The scalpel fell on the smooth skin, easily cutting through the tissue, exposing the tiny blood vessels hidden under the flesh, and the trajectory of the flowing bright red blood was clearly visible.
Li Mo's body is filled with densely packed tubes, recording his body's real-time data.
In the dim light, a pair of green eyes stood out, sparkling with joy.
A tube filled with purple-black liquid was injected into the body, and the data on the instrument changed rapidly.
The erosive pain continuously stimulates the brain, like silver needles piercing every nerve ending.
Three hours later, Li Mo walked out of the bathroom with wet hair. He changed his clothes and the wounds on his body were healing at an extremely fast speed.
Mebius, wearing a white coat, came up and handed a card to Li Mo.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. This is your reward."
Li Mo took the card, a barely perceptible joy in his eyes.
"Thanks. There's still an hour left, plenty of time."
"Haha, I'm the one who should be thanking you. After all, no one wants to be a guinea pig on an operating table, even if they have inhuman healing powers... Don't worry, I don't want to tell anyone about your special abilities just yet. I'm just a little curious, why are you so eager to make money?"
Mebius sat in a chair, sorting documents, glancing at Li Mozhen from the corner of his eye, waiting for an answer.
"Maybe it's because it makes money quickly?"
"That makes sense, but I'm leaving Canghai City in a few days. If you want to find me, take this business card with the address on it. I'll cover all the round-trip expenses, and no one will stop you."
Mebius handed a dark green card to Li Mo. Such a perfect experimental subject is rare.
Voluntary, cooperative, and durable.
Although all the experimental results are still debatable, Mebius is not prepared to expose Li Mo's existence so early.
Mebius didn't need to overthink what it meant to have a body that continued to recover, a person whose cells stopped aging when they grew to a certain level, and who could still recover even if his organs or limbs were removed. He could see it with just a glance at the obvious future.
The upper class will go crazy.
Not to mention them, even Mebius couldn't help but keep Li Mo by his side and study him all day long.
Maybe, with her abilities, she can really explore the infinity of life.
But until everything is settled, the test samples cannot be released.
"So good? But I'm not short of money right now. If you want to use me for experiments next time, the reward you pay won't be cheap. You'll have to pay other valuable things~"
Blinking his pink eyes, Li Mo walked up to Mebius and extended his hand.
Then he turned on the indoor light switch next to Mebius, and in an instant, the dim laboratory became extremely bright.
"So, how did you get the lab into such a mess? It would take you half a day just to clean it up. Wouldn't you consider hiring an assistant?"
"I'll help you clean up this time, and I won't charge you any extra fees."
Li Mo helped Mebius organize the documents and put the instruments back to where they belonged, including reagents and machinery. With the experience from last time, Li Mo closed the doors very skillfully this time.
Mebius turned his head and said, "My assistant is not in Canghai City. I didn't plan to stay here for too long. But since you are here, I am willing to stay here for two more days."
"Is this the reason you've been eating instant noodles for two days?" Li Mo pointed to the pile of instant noodle buckets in the corner. "I've ordered takeout for you. It'll be delivered shortly. Although takeout doesn't seem to have much nutrition, it's always tasty."
"Well, I'm looking forward to our next meeting, Snake, bye~"
After Li Mo tidied up his surroundings, he waved goodbye and left the laboratory without looking back.
Leaving Mebius alone in the spacious and bright laboratory, he walked to the mirror and looked at the bloodstain on his cheek in shock.
When did you leave?
The first two experiments only paid money, but the third experiment required something precious. This guy...
"I heard that there's a troublesome newcomer at the Fire Moth headquarters."
Mebius pulled up the personnel change files, which suddenly contained photos and information of the newcomers.
Name: Alicia.
Gender: Female.
