Chapter 102 Extra Story: Xie Chen Lancelot (2)
Of course Chace beat up all the kids she pointed at, and then Cheryl stopped crying, contented, and obediently climbed onto Chace's back to be carried back by him.

On the way home, the little guy rubbed his snot and tears on his back while listening to his brother singing and telling her stories.

He turned his back to her and asked softly, "Is Cheryl obedient in kindergarten today?"

She grabbed her brother's shoulder with her little hand, proudly: "No."

"Are you good?"

"No." She held her head up triumphantly, her nasal voice was heavy, and her small nose rubbed her snot on her brother's T-shirt.

Seeing that she was about to slide down, he grabbed her little buttocks and lifted her up, and she hurriedly hugged her.

"If you don't obey, you don't obey, we Cheryl can do whatever we want," he said.

"Hmm." She nodded vigorously.

"Did you play with the kids?"

"Still not." She turned her head away with a lot of movement, and muttered softly.

"Then what are you doing in kindergarten?" He looked back at her.

"I'm thinking about Chace." She stretched out her little hand in front of him, scratching and changing patterns, "I wonder why you haven't come to pick me up yet."

In this way, he whispered softly, and she muttered.

With her on his back, he walked through the twilight of the setting sun.Spring has passed and autumn has come.Day after day, the children in the kindergarten wiped their tears and felt wronged: "Why don't I have a brother like Cheryl? I'll ask my mother for it."

Later, Chace left the Artland base, and Cheryl followed her mother into the laboratory.Although there is a mother to take care of the younger sister, Chace is not at ease and calls her every day.

After the mother found that the children were talking on the phone frequently, she was not allowed, thinking that it would be distracting, and cut off the connection between the siblings.

Chace secretly asked someone to send a letter to her, and often rushed back to see her. It wasn't until a little older that both siblings had more power, and they had the opportunity to talk to each other every day.

In the beginning, how can such a young child naturally like boring experiments?
On one call, Cheryl said to him, "Chace, I don't want to be in the lab, I want to hang out. Why don't you take me with you?"

At that time, as an elder brother, he had the same idea as all parents.

He especially thinks this way, his sister has a soft personality, and the only way to gain a place in the organization is through scientific research.Otherwise, her beauty and frailty would be a disaster.

So he said to her: "Our Cheryl is so smart, if you don't want to, SPA will lose a lot. I still want to see how far our Cheryl can do it! I also want to hear others say how powerful our Cheryl is." Woolen cloth!"

She was silent for a second or two, and immediately she was full of fighting spirit: "I have always been proud of my brother, and I also hope to be proud of my brother! Just watch carefully, I will work hard!"

Later, Chace heard news about her sister from others, that is: the girl from Lancelot’s family, don’t look at her silent, the little girl is better than her brother, she expanded the AP series of drugs from 7 to 13 types, do you know how much value this has created for the organization?

Chace told Cheryl what he heard on the phone, and she immediately retorted: "Nonsense, my brother is the best. How can I compare with my brother?"

Chace smiled heartily: "Silly girl, do you know how happy I am to hear such words?"

Every time he went back to see her, he found that, year after year, this sister gradually grew up, gradually becoming more beautiful, quieter, and more silent than he remembered.

It seemed that the one on the phone was a younger sister, and the one who met was another.

On the eve of her 13th birthday, he went back to see her.

She has grown a lot taller, and she is standing beside the European-style carved railing in a white dress, looking nervously and cautiously at her 18-year-old brother who is already an adult.

For a relatively long time, she just pursed her lips and smiled, and it took a long time to call shyly: "Hi, Chace."

He didn't mind her unfamiliarity, he stepped forward with a smile, hugged her into his arms, and patted her shoulder lightly, she smiled, tilted her head, and leaned on his shoulder.

In an instant, the intimate sister returned.

He was never worried that she would be unfamiliar with him, but compared to this, what worried him more was that she and the twins got closer every time.

When she was little, he didn't care.After all, he wasn't by her side, and she was too soft. With Arthur and Burt around, no one dared to bully her.

But she grew up day by day, her figure became slim and slender, her chest also had an exquisite curve, she was a little girl now.The twin boys had also grown into teenagers, changed their voices, and grown taller.

She doesn't seem to have such a clear gender concept.

Sometimes, she walked slowly in front, and Burt ran over from behind, rubbed her face and ran away in an instant, she just gave a very light stare, and it was gone;

Sometimes, when Arthur parted from her, put his hand on her waist, and kissed her cheek with his lips, she was also at ease.

On the night of her birthday party, Chace saw that she hardly talked to her peers, and the playmates who came were cautious, watching the faces of Arthur and Bert when they spoke and acted.

This kind of atmosphere is too weird, Chace asked someone to question, and the person said: "Last time someone laughed at her as a nerd and poor athletic ability, and it will end badly."

Chace asked, "What about her reaction?"

"No response, you've got used to it by now."

This worries Chace.

On that day, the birthday party lasted only half an hour, and my mother came to reprimand and confiscated all her presents. Chace said good things for a long time to keep her from being locked up in the dark room.

At the party, Chace felt powerless when people were blown away one by one, but looking at his sister, she was very quiet, very silent, not angry at all.

It was the fact that she was not angry that made him more uneasy.

Children will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In her world, strict parents and mischievous companions are harmful, and Arthur who follows her, coaxes and pampers her everywhere is beneficial.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, she was gone, together with Arthur Burt.

He was crazy, he had never been so nervous before, he was inexplicably nervous for no reason, and he searched for her all night.Until 6 a.m. the next day, she showed up in the laboratory on time, wearing a small white coat to conduct experiments.

"Where did you go last night?" He circled around her, feeling anxious like a young girl in my family.

"Arthur and Bert took me to play on the Empire Star." She was honest.

He was stunned for a moment: "All night?"

"Ah."

"You..." His voice was weak, "What are you doing?"

"Looking at the stars, setting off fireworks, eating cakes, um, very sweet." She stared at the microscope and replied calmly and completely.

He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and seemed even more uneasy, walking around her, but suddenly realized that he had returned to his childhood and turned upside down.At that time, he was standing in front of the laboratory table, and she was tied to him with a thread, using this as a radius, and the one-year-old she walked around him in circles.

He looked at his younger sister's Qingli side face, and suddenly laughed.

She froze for a second, raised her head to look at him, understood without asking, and smiled.

She seemed to be happy, and couldn't help but say more: "Last week, Arthur and the others secretly took me out of Artland. On a very high mountain, I can see the night view of the city outside. It's so beautiful. It's a pity that I only stayed for two days , I was locked up in a dark room by my mother when I came back, but I am not sad at all, I am very happy..."

"You stayed with them in the mountains for a day and a night? Where do you stay at night and set up a tent?" The smile on Chace's face instantly subsided, and the two 16-year-old boys understood what they should understand.

"Hmm." She didn't think there was anything wrong, "Oh, I really like tents, I asked them to build one for me in the laboratory, I'll take you to see..." She put down the experimental equipment and pulled him to the lounge to the back room.

He pulled her back with a gloomy face: "Did they bully you? Did they do anything to you? Tell your brother, don't be afraid," he held her shoulder hard in anxiety, his eyes were red with anger, "If ...I killed them."

She was frightened by his momentum: "how about what? What if... what is it?"

"That's the one..." Chace choked, didn't know how to explain it, and gradually panicked in his heart. He suddenly realized that she was not like someone from the outside world, nor like someone from a SPA organization, but more like a person who grew up in isolation and in isolation. wolf boy.

He pulled up the high stool and sat down, telling her about the belated education of girls: "Cheryl, I seem to have forgotten to teach you that girls can't be so... close to boys when they grow up. In the future, you must remember."

She poked the little white rabbit in the cage and was very obedient: "I don't talk to anyone, and no one will come near me." She said it calmly, without any appearance of being alone.

He watched silently, holding back a trace of heartache.

He could see that she was like a flower in a vacuum glass cover, no one could get close.He actually wanted to hint that she shouldn't get too close to Arthur Burt, so he opened his mouth, but he couldn't bear it.

Perhaps in her world, there is only such a little comfort.

Chace was silent for a while, closed his eyes, and asked another way: "Arthur and Bert, which one do you choose, which one do you like?"

She stopped, confused and confused: "Why choose?"

Chace's heart sank again, but he didn't answer right away.

She was neglected and taught since she was a child, he left too early, her mother punished her, she had no friends or relatives, and she grew up imprisoned by the circle of Arthur and Bert.

She has no systematic value concept about the world of love, life, and even for "research" and "relatives" in her mouth, she doesn't have much sorrow or joy, like a robot completing the program she should do.

He didn't know where to start, how could her world view be subverted with a few words?
He tried his best to smile warmly, and took out a beautiful cake from behind: "Let's not talk about this, yesterday, before you had time to eat the cake I gave you, it disappeared."

She took the colorful box, and upon hearing this, she felt so guilty that she dared not look at him.He saw it, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, relief, worry, and inexplicable melancholy and loss.

She took it apart, and there was a picture of a little boy holding a little girl on the cake, which was so ugly: "You didn't make it yourself, did you?"

"So ugly?" He had self-knowledge and leaned over.

"It's quite ugly, but the colors match really well." Her eyes sparkled, "I really like it."

She reluctantly took a sip, it was sweet.

"My brother's stuff is always the best," she said.

One sentence made Chace inexplicably relieved, and he took out the camera from his pocket and handed it to her: "Here, this is a birthday present."

"Why is it a camera again?" She turned around and went to the cabinet to take out another almost brand new one, "The ones I sent last time are not broken."

"Have you used it?" He opened it and looked at the photos inside.

The first one made him laugh: she used the selfie function, was frightened by the flash, narrowed one eye in surprise, bared her teeth, but was very beautiful, like a cute little animal with fur.

He chuckled and pushed back.The next one is a test tube rack with phenolphthalein litmus and the like, colorful and bubbling, very beautiful.After that, there are no more, only two?
"No more?" He was slightly stunned, "Didn't I ask you to take pictures of everything you like?"

"I don't seem to like anything." She said normally, rolled her eyes, took the camera over, and "clicked" at him, but he didn't react.

Cheryl looked at Chace in the camera with a blank expression, pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay."

Chace smiled bitterly, and pushed the camera to her this time: "The one I gave today is different from that one, take a look."

"But I think they both look the same!" She pursed her mouth, but she still listened to him and opened it seriously.

For a moment, her clear eyes were full of surprise.A small camera contains a big world: lively streets, colorful pedestrians, colorful carnivals, gorgeous stages, and his university and classmates, many people together...

This is the wonderful outside?

One after another, she looked at it for an indefinite amount of time, full of joy.

Seeing one of them, he spent Christmas with his classmates, all of whom were much older than him, only one, who looked like a little boy, stood in front of a colorful and shining Christmas tree with his hands in his pockets, frowning, as if Despise Christmas trees.

Cheryl pointed at the handsome boy in a white shirt, curious: "Doesn't he like Christmas trees? How pretty!"

Chace glanced at it and smiled: "He said Christmas trees are destroying the forest, and lanterns and gifts are a waste of resources."

"Will someone not like lanterns and gifts?" She pondered for a few seconds, ignorant and dazed. Words like "destroying forests" and "wasting resources" are unfamiliar and novel to her.

She thought for a while, nodded, blushed, and whispered: "He is right."

She looked up at him: "Is this the scenery my brother passed by? It's so beautiful!"

"Yeah." Chace smiled and hugged her shoulders, "Cheryl, from now on, my brother will take you out to live outside, okay?"

"Really?" She was surprised and delighted, "Can you take me out? When?"

"Wait for you to grow up," Chace patted her head with an unpredictable expression, "and wait for me to grow up."

Cheryl didn't understand: "My brother is 18 years old, he is already an adult!"

"Not enough," he said, "not enough."

She wanted to ask when to wait, but she didn't ask after all, she just nodded obediently: "Well, I'll wait slowly." After thinking about it, she asked again, "Are Arthur and Bert together?"

Chace froze for a moment, and thought for a while: "They don't want you to go out. Then, who do you want to follow?" It sounded a little disappointed.

She hastily argued: "Of course it's my brother." After finishing speaking, she struggled again, "Then can I stay outside all the time and come back to see them occasionally?"

"If you come back, will they let you out?" he asked.

She was stunned for a long time, as if she had made up her mind: "I want to be with my brother. I want to be with my brother all the time."
