"The first condition I put forward is that you are not allowed to go out at night," Charles said. "You can think of this as a curfew. You can go out during the day and go wherever you want, but you must come back when the time comes.

"

Leona said unambiguously: "If you want me to agree to your condition, then you must also agree to my 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, get along with teachers and classmates, make friends and so on... 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 have to promise me that you won't force me to go to school."

Charles thought for a moment, "Give me some time to consider this condition." He asked, "Why don't you want to go to school? Is it just because you find school boring?"

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

"

"Do you have any specific plans for the future that are being implemented, Lina? That's why you don't want to go to school, and you need to spend the time you originally used for school to do other things?" Charles said keenly.

Leona said: "I am currently planning, and I don't have a clear goal yet. I will tell you when I find the goal." She said on a whim, "Can I join your X-Men? My mutant abilities are universal.

Sex is broad and the X-Men will need me."

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

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

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

"You are too cunning. This is equivalent to putting forward two conditions at the same time." Leona said, "So you must also promise me not to interfere with my actions. I will do whatever I want, and you can't stop me."

"Next is the third condition. Unless you are in trouble or someone wants to hurt you, you cannot use your abilities on ordinary people - I mean the offensive kind." Charles said here.

His expression became serious.

"What about the non-aggressive ability?" Leona blinked, "You know I'm very good at doing little tricks on people's minds, don't you limit me?"

Charles crossed 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 can indeed trust each other."

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

I trust you at all."

Leona thought for a while.

"I want to tell you a story." She said nonchalantly.

Charles was stunned for a moment by this unexpected turn of events.

But he still said: "I'm ready to hear it."

"I quite like watching movies, but only a few movies can make a deep impression on me. That movie was really interesting and I was very interested in the story it described." Leona put her chin on the table and stared.

According to Charles, "There was an ordinary couple who gave birth to a lovely little girl, and they loved the 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. From the time she was born, the couple's family began to have a series of problems.

The land suffered bad luck. First, their relatives died for no reason, and then strange things happened one after another in their homes. After a long time,

The couple realized that the deaths of their loved ones were not accidental, but that those people were killed by their daughter, who gave birth to a monster. Then the couple went crazy, the mother suffered a mental breakdown, and the father began to find ways to kill

He wanted to put an end to his daughter's 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 love." Charles said, "It's just that in that case, they couldn'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 terrible nature of demons that want to harm humans. This is an evil instinct. There is no other reason." Leona explained in a flat and rational tone.

She recalled the story and continued: "Although the little girl is a terrible devil, she still has a persistence in her heart, which is to get love... I think this story is very interesting, and it has inspired me a lot.

I was thinking about how if parents really gave birth to a demon in reality, how would they treat that child."

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

"I love you very much, you don't have to doubt it, Lena." Charles said firmly.

"These are 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 if you became the father of the devil girl in the story, how would you treat 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 choices I tell you now may not necessarily be the choices I made at that time."

"Most parents in the world love their children, but they will never love a devil child - unless they are also devils themselves." Leona said, "I actually know the answer. No one can give everyone all the love.

Unreserved love, even for parents and relatives. The world is fair and unfair. If two people love each other, but one of them loves selflessly and the other loves selfishly, then this

It’s so sad!”

Charles couldn't help but smile, "There is no need to use this standard to measure love. Love between people cannot be measured with a scale. If you love someone, you have to care about it so much and worry about gains and losses. This is 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 without expecting anything in return, but I don't think so. I love someone not because of what this person can bring to me or repay me.

What, do you think I need equal 'love' from the people I love in return?"

"Lina, what's important is not who I love, or what 'she' gives me in return. What's important is what this relationship can bring to me - just like you." Charles emphasized his tone, "You said

You like novel things, so you don’t mind coming home with me and living with me, and so do I! I try to love you, get used to your existence, and I try to play the role of a father.

Once I had the idea of ​​running a family well, it was also a very novel experience for me. I have always been everyone's leader, friend, teacher, and principal, but I have never been a father.

The joy of living is to constantly understand and explore new things we encounter. Your arrival has given my life a different color than before, and this is what you have brought to me."

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

"Because I am indeed no longer young." Charles whispered, "After experiencing so much, it is difficult for me to keep a good attitude." He smiled, "But it is different for you.

When it comes to your affairs, I always want to have the best attitude."

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

"What happened next to the story you told?" Charles asked.

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

Charles said: "Can you tell me what the movie is called?"

"No." Leona said, "Because this movie does not exist. I made it up to deceive you. I am telling you this story to see how you react."

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

"Not satisfied, but beyond my expectation." Leona said.

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

"Okay." Leona walked slowly to the door of Charles' office and turned around to ask, "Have we reached the terms of our transaction? You put forward three conditions to me, but I only put forward two conditions. You took advantage.

Already."

"I think you were the one who took advantage, because no parent would agree to your willful conditions. However, I am a rare open-minded parent. Fortunately, you met me, so you still took advantage." Charles smiled.

Let's talk.

"I don't care about it so much, so you don't care about it too much. Who makes 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 are reasonable to me, and when some people are reasonable to me, I think that person’s speech sounds nice [reasonable and confident.jpg]
