Seeing a man wearing a gray clown mask curiously circling around him, Gao Zhi was obviously a little scared.
He instinctively moved towards Anna with the broom in his hand. Only after he smelled the pleasant fragrance did he feel much more at ease.
The clown stretched out his right hand with a white glove and pointed at the frightened Gao Zhiming, as if asking Anna.
"He is our important key. Only through him can we go to a place where there is no IMF." Anna stretched out her index finger to curl a strand of Gao Zhiming's hair and twisted it gently.
The clown nodded in understanding. He leaned over and lifted his hat, then stretched out his right hand towards Gao Zhiming, trying to express his goodwill to him.
But faced with such a strange guy, Gao Zhiming hesitated again and again, and finally did not dare to reach out his hand.
"Give them breakfast. I'll take him to get a haircut first." Anna took Gao Zhiming's hand and was about to leave.
The child's hands were very smooth and nice to touch, but Anna knew the outcome of this hand: it was chopped off.
Just as Anna pushed open the door, she suddenly remembered something and looked back at the mask, "Where is my other body now? That thing is quite important and must be kept properly."
The clown grabbed the mask on his face and peeled it off gently. Anna was surprised to find that it was herself behind the mask.
He actually controlled the body directly. No wonder he felt that the other party's chest was a little bulging today.
Seeing the clown put his mask back on and took out a card with a ? from his pocket, Anna said to him, "Okay, then you can control her temporarily. Use her as your body for now."
It always feels a little weird to see my body being controlled by a mask, but it also saves me some worry.
After all, being controlled by others is better than lying in bed like a vegetable. At least you don't need to send someone to take care of you.
With a "click", the door closed. The clown put down the breakfast in his hand and walked to the mirror in ballet style.
It first opened the mask, looked at itself carefully for a while, then raised its hands and began to show its enchanting dance moves in front of a tall floor-to-ceiling mirror.
"Little boy, your hair is so long. Have you not cut it in a long time? This won't do. If your hair grows any longer, you'll turn into a girl."
Facing the barber who was cutting his hair while teasing him in the reflection in the mirror opposite, Gao Zhiming's attention was not on him at all.
After a few seconds, he would always secretly turn his head to look at Anna who was reading a newspaper on the sofa, fearing that she would suddenly run away.
"Is that your sister? Your beautiful sister is so nice. Usually girls her age won't bring their brothers to get their hair cut."
"But your sister's hair style is not very good. I think it can be permed." Having said this, the hairdresser who was staring at the Shamatte hairstyle turned his head and looked at Anna.
"Sister, do you want to become a member here? How about I give you a 20% discount?"
Anna's eyes moved from the newspaper to him, with a faint smile on her face. "We have urgent matters, please hurry up."
"Okay, okay." The barber was secretly delighted. She smiled at me. Did she have any feelings for me? Maybe I could ask her for her QQ number when I check out later.
With a swipe of the scissors, Gao Zhiming trimmed his disheveled hair into a neat style, further distanced himself from the street kid.
After having his hair cut, he moved slowly and awkwardly to Anna's side, with his hands tucked in, wanting to sit down but not daring to.
Just then, he felt a gentle hand reaching out and holding his hand.
At this moment, Gao Zhiming suddenly felt that he was surrounded by full happiness. He even seemed to be so happy that he almost jumped up when he walked onto the street.
"Is this what it feels like to have a mother?" Gao Zhiming thought to himself.
But now he finally knew that this feeling was really great.
Gao Zhiming raised his head slightly and stared closely at the face in front of him, as if he wanted to remember that face completely in his mind.
Although he had only known this sister for less than a day, in his heart she was the closest person to him.
No one had ever been so devoted to him before, and she smelled so good. He liked this sister very much and wanted to stay with her forever.
"Madam, another basket please."
"Is there any vinegar?"
"Girl, how much is this fried dough stick?"
A busy breakfast stall appeared on their left, and the small wooden benches were filled with people going to school or work.
Smelling the aroma wafting from the steamer, Gao Zhiming's stomach rumbled. The bowl of noodles he had eaten last night had been completely digested.
Anna also heard the voice, and she pulled Gao Zhiming to an empty seat. "Order whatever you want to eat."
Soon, the steaming dumplings and rice porridge were served. Facing the food, Gao Zhiming, who had just bid farewell to hunger, had a religious attitude. Perhaps he was used to it, he always ate voraciously.
Anna, who was sitting opposite him, looked at the boy in front of her with a complicated expression, thinking of the past events in the Earthsea and the entanglement between them.
Her right hand reached out and gently touched Gao Zhiming's cheek.
Gao Zhiming, who was swallowing continuously, suddenly became a little nervous. He carefully pushed half a basket of buns in front of Anna, "Sister, do you want to eat?"
Anna shook her head and sighed slightly, then said in her heart: "Scumbag, I have a lot to say to you now, but you don't know anything now, what can I say to you?"
She had thought many times about what she would say when she met Charles again, but she couldn't say those words to the child face to face.
Anna now has very complicated emotions towards her child. On the one hand, she always unconsciously pours out her feelings for Charles to him.
But reason told her that the child in front of her knew nothing and it would be useless to talk to him.
More importantly, she was very confused and didn't know how to get along with him.
Lover? Mother? Either one is very awkward.
Moreover, Gao Zhiming is a little too dependent on himself, which is a very dangerous signal. He shouldn't have these memories.
Anna's mind started to work at this time, and she began to plan to let someone else take over her responsibility to take care of him, in order to avoid some troubles in the future.
If you want to do this kind of thing, you have to do it as soon as possible.
"Sister, try this bun, it's delicious!" A steamed bun was placed in front of her with chopsticks.
