Merlin almost pinched back home, and when he entered the living room, he smelled a scent.
The dining table was filled with food. In addition to the pizza delivered by the takeaway, there were some freshly prepared dishes. There was also a tinker bell in the kitchen. When Merlin turned around, he saw a little fat man wearing an apron. Busy in the kitchen.
He wore a suit and dressed himself up with spirit. Those eyes were always smiling. Lorna stood beside him to help, as if learning to cook.
His name is Fu Ji, and his family lives in the Hell's Kitchen, not far from the Josie Bar. His family runs the best deli in these blocks. Merlin and the children often go there to buy some meat.
He is also Matt's friend, well, the only friend.
"Xiaofuji, you are finally here as a guest."
Merlin took off his windbreaker and threw it away. He hung his clothes on the hanger beside the door. He said hello to the little fat man. He said:
"I have to thank Matt for helping me take care of my family. You know, he doesn't like making friends very much, which annoys me."
"Oh, Mr. Merlin."
The flattering little fat young man turned back to Merlin while frying the ham in the pan:
"Don't say that, Matt and I always help each other, well, to say another thing, your cats and dogs are so cute, they are the smartest pets I have ever seen."
"Well, of course. Of course they are smart."
Merlin glanced at Frank, who was squatting at the foot of Fudge. The stupid dog turned back and gave a smiling smile to Merlin.
Coogu was lying on the sofa, sitting with the rocket raccoon and the tree man to which the magical illusion was applied. The two guys were drinking beer, and they looked a bit sloppy.
Ruiwen and Laura sat on the other side of the dining table. The lonely little wolf girl appeared to have made her first friend after arriving at her new home.
"What about Matt?"
Merlin reached out and unbuttoned the cuff. He said to Ruiwen:
"Why don't you see him come down to dinner? His friend has come home, doesn't he entertain him?"
"Matt is waiting for you in the study."
Ruiwen helped Laura place the napkins. She pushed round glasses and said to Merlin:
"He has something to tell you, well, he doesn't seem too happy."
"Ok."
Merlin's expression changed slightly, and he turned back to Fu Ji:
"You can have dinner first, Fudge, we don't have to wait for Matt and I. We're estimated to have a chat. Lorna, don't mess with Fudge's brother, let him cook well."
"it's okay no problem."
Fudge smiled and took the plate handed over from Lorna, and threw a piece of ham to the fool Frank at the foot. He waved the shovel and said to Merlin:
"Go ahead first, Mr. Merlin, I have to cook a few more dishes."
"Ok."
Merlin nodded, reaching for the lazy goo, and stroking the goo's fur while walking up the second floor. When he pushed open the door of the study, he saw Matt sitting in a chair, leaning on a guide stick, and his face was calm.
The university admission notice for him and Fu Ji was placed on the table.
Merlin looked at Matt's expression, then reached out and closed the door. He sighed and said:
"You found it?"
"Well. I heard the conversation between the professors, and they thought I couldn't hear it."
Ma nodded his head characteristically, and said what he had heard before with a blank face.
"This is not what I did, it was helped by some of my friends."
Merlin put the coo aside, he reached out to open the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of wine, took out two more glasses, then looked at Matt, and put back one more glass.
Minors cannot drink alcohol.
"Friends will help each other, and I can't refuse their good intentions. I know you will feel that I deceived you, you will feel that I don't trust you, you are always so sensitive and independent, and have your own ideas, This is true from small to large."
Merlin poured himself a glass of wine, he whispered:
"Among all the children at home, you are the most worry-free for me, so, as if nothing has happened, you and Fuji go to school and then become a good lawyer in the future...how?"
"this is not right."
Matt reached out and took off his sunglasses. His godless eyes turned to Merlin. He said stubbornly:
"The two of us don't need extra help, Merlin, I am very grateful for your attention to my studies, my life, but I don't like this way of intervening... This will make me think that these are not what I deserve, I I plan to abandon early admission with Fu Ji before taking the exam."
"If I want to be a lawyer, if I want to use the power of the law to help others, I have to abide by it myself."
Matt pointed to the admission letter on the table and said:
"Rather than through my guardian's connections and power... How is this different from criminals who steal things?"
"The difference is..."
Merlin took a sip of wine. He walked to Matt's eyes and reached for two admission notices. He seriously answered:
"You have the ability to get it, I just made sure that this process will not be interfered by other forces. Matt, not everyone has the same idea as you, nor everyone will follow the rules like you."
Merlin explained:
"If my friends don’t intervene, you and Fuji, two poor kids from Hell’s Kitchen who have no background, will be topped by the rich children who donate to the school. If you need, I can even show you the evidence. , The parents of the two guys who didn’t learn anything but donated a lot of money..."
"Listen, Matt, my friend is just making sure that this process is more'fair' to you two."
He put the wine glass on the table. He pushed two notices to Matt. He said:
"You have taken the exam, and your grades are excellent, so this is what you deserve."
"I am a public official. I am responsible for maintaining social order, protecting innocent people from harm, protecting the rules from being challenged. I protect the lives of others, and I also protect you from being treated differently. This is not illegal in theory. , So don’t have any psychological pressure."
Merlin said to Matt:
"Sometimes I will go to school honestly. After graduation, I will find a decent job like Eric, and find a good woman like Charlie to get married and have children. This will make me feel relieved and will make Jack Feeling relieved. After I spent so much time explaining it to you, do you have any questions?"
"And, Matt, is my impression in your heart so bad?"
Merlin took a sip of wine and pretended to be sad and said:
"The mistrust from the child really hurts me."
"I just want to find out, Merlin, I don't distrust you."
Matt reached out and touched the notice, he said:
"I originally thought you used the relationship to ensure that we can be admitted, I..."
"Okay, no need to explain, have a little confidence in yourself, boy, your results are very real, you can check."
Merlin patted Matt on the shoulder. He said:
"Let's go eat, Fuji and they are waiting for you, I will go down soon."
Matt said nothing more. He left the study with a guide stick. After watching Matt leave, Icarus' voice sounded in Merlin's ear. She said:
"Matt doesn't say it, his score is a few tenths higher than the admission line, but Fudge...he just just crossed the admission line?"
"But Fudge is also eligible for admission, Icarus."
Looking at the admission letter at hand, Merlin said:
"Although the odds of losing the election are quite high, it seems that the fat man is lucky, Matt and his good friends can go to school again, and someone who takes care of him for me always makes me more at ease."
"You are really kind to them."
Icarus said that Merlin shrugged and he finished his last drink. He said:
"Isn't this what guardians should do? Jack's last wish was to make Matt a decent person without struggling for a lifetime in the quagmire of Hell's Kitchen. Matt is doing well, and Jack will definitely be satisfied."
"Okay, we should go down to dinner... Where is Logan?"
Merlin asked again:
"Can he arrive tonight? If it's too late, let him sleep outside and come back tomorrow morning."
"Logan's plane landed 5 minutes ago."
Icarus projected a timetable in front of Merlin's eyes and marked out the coordinates of Logan's movement in New York City. She said:
"He should be here in 30 minutes, you can prepare Laura in advance."
"There is nothing to prepare."
Merlin says:
"It's just a meeting. I won't let Logan take her away. The guy's own life is a mess. I don't believe he can take care of a little girl with communication barriers."
"Then why do you want to grow a branch?"
Icarus asked doubtfully:
"Logan knew that Laura's existence would have no effect on him and Laura's life."
"I just prepared in advance."
Merlin put the glass on the table, he said softly:
"In case I suddenly disappear one day, Logan will help me take care of Laura, and the child will not have nowhere to go."
"..."
Icarus was silent for a moment, and she said again:
"So, you let Lona and Miss Wanda make contact, make sure that the little fat guy Fuji and Matt go to college together, and drove Eric and Charlie out to live alone early, without using the Three Magic Devices, and still hiding Your relationship with Peter, even made me hide the background information of Peter... these are the ways you prepare for the children at home?"
"Merlin, tell me, did you notice something?"
"No, the signs haven't appeared yet."
Merlin pushed the glasses, he said:
"But preparing early is not a bad thing. Children are always the weakness of adults. I try to protect them. Their presence can relax my mind. If...if I will disappear one day, then I should make sure that my children Can continue his life."
"And you, Icarus."
Merlin opened the door of the study, he joked:
"If it's time to say goodbye, I will definitely choose a good host for you."
"I don't need it."
Icarus whispered:
"The glasses are just a carrier. I don't need it to still exist in the world of data networks. If you die, Merlin, in a sense, means that I am free."
"But what's the use of being free of me?"
"Don't be so pessimistic, Icarus."
Merlin says:
"You will always find the meaning of your existence. You must believe that your birth is definitely not just to help me deal with those complicated things. Well, the children are in a hurry, let's go eat."
Merlin went down the stairs. Rocket in magic illusion and Groot were yelling and trying to persuade the little fat man Fuji to drink with them. Although Groot was tossing and turning with that sentence, the rocket's eloquence was good. In Merlin By the time he walked to the table, the little fat man had already drunk several glasses, and they were all drunk.
"You bastard!"
Merlin said to the rocket sitting at his hand:
"In this world, minors cannot drink alcohol."
"Wow, Merlin, you are really disappointed."
The Rockets seem to have some magic illusions that are not very suitable for human form. It holds the spoon and fork awkwardly, forks a large piece of meat on the plate, and then cuts rudely, eating while holding the fat man's shoulder, it said :
"You just said you were admitted to university? It sounds like a good thing. Come and have another drink."
"I made it, Merlin, you taste it."
Lorna Xianbao seemed to put a plate of food with unclear raw materials in front of Merlin’s eyes. She looked at Merlin expectantly. The latter hesitated and put a dark thing into her mouth. After a few seconds, Merlin gave a very false smile to Lorna:
"Well, the taste... is very unique and can't be regarded as unpalatable."
"Oh, just say it if you don't like it."
Lorna rolled her eyes. She deliberately squeezed between Merlin and Laura, which made Laura very dissatisfied, but the little wolf girl did not say anything, but ate her own food seriously.
She seemed very quiet, lonely, and somewhat out of touch.
"It's good for you to eat more vegetables."
Merlin put up the vegetables with chopsticks and placed them on Laura's plate. The little wolf girl raised her head and showed a twisted smile to Merlin, but it was fleeting.
"Bang, bang"
After more than 20 minutes, the door of the room was knocked. Merlin took the tablecloth and wiped his mouth. He stood up, walked to the door of the room, opened the door, and saw the long-lost Wolverine Logan leaning against the door. side.
His hair is still as individual as before, unshaven, wearing a black leather jacket and jeans, akimbo, and a cigar in his mouth.
Oh, this guy also knows that he needs to bring gifts when he visits, so he has two bottles of wine in his hand.
"what happened?"
Merlin looked at Logan's dull expression and asked:
"Not in a good mood? Having a bad thing?"
"Very bad kind."
Logan said:
"Ah, it's hard to say."
"Then come in and eat first."
Merlin called Logan into the house, he said:
"The smoke is out, there are children."
Logan entered the door and saw many people around the dining table. His eyes quickly fell on the rockets and Groot who wore magic illusions. He took off the cigar, extinguished it in his palm, and looked down to eat. Laura, who was very lonely in the crowd, seemed to be drawn by the blood. He put the wine in his hand on the table and said to Merlin:
"That is..."
"Yes, she is your "daughter"."
Merlin says:
"It can also be understood as your sister. Her name is Laura, but let's eat first."
