After repeatedly telling (threatening) Eric and Charles not to invite strange people to the birthday party, they looked at Clark and stood up, saying that they could do nothing.

Because their family doesn't live in the town, considering the convenience of other children, Mike arranged the birthday party in a restaurant in the town.

After school in the afternoon, Clark and Eric took their school friends to the restaurant. After everyone had a meal, the birthday was over.

"Alas!"

On the way home, Charles sighed, glanced at the crowd, saw that no one paid attention to him, and sighed heavily, with an empty and lonely face.

Looking at the expression on that childish face, Mike couldn't help laughing and said, "what's the matter with you?"

"Alas, I'm a year older. Will there be more parties in the future?"

"What? Don't like it?"

"It's not that I don't like it, but suddenly I don't feel very meaningful."

Charles pillowed his hands and leaned against the back seat of the car, with a deliberate disdain on his face.

Eric curled his lips and said, "he must have looked at those people's heads with his ability again."

"Hum!" He tilted his head unhappily, and Charles said, "I don't know how to know that someone doesn't like our birthday party, and even thinks that we live outside the town."

Mike raised his eyebrows, parked the car under the roadside lamp, turned to look at Charles in the back seat and said, "Charles, your ability is very special. When you focus on the bad thoughts in people's hearts, you will feel disappointed in human nature, but you can't ignore the good because of the bad, okay?"

Charles nodded thoughtfully.

"Also, even between friends, at a certain moment, there will be an impulse to strangle each other because of something, but you can't ignore your friendship because of the other party's instantaneous thoughts."

"If you're obsessed with each other's thoughts at that moment, your friends won't have to do it."

Charles laughed and said, "for example, me and Eric?"

“?” Eric looked at Charles and said, "what?"

"I often read his idea of scolding me and his idea of beating me into a dog's head when he quarreled with me, but I understand that he is just angry and will be fine in a moment, so I generally don't care about him!"

Charles straightened his chest and glanced at Eric faintly, with a magnanimous appearance of not caring about each other.

Eric reached out and grabbed Charles' neck, shook it back and forth, and angrily said, "I want to strangle you now!"

Clark looked at the two men and couldn't help laughing. "Stop it!"

Eric snorted angrily.

Charles cocked his mouth proudly and tidied up his collar.

Mike reached out and nodded Charles falsely, laughing and scolding, "Eric and you are more than friends."

With a deep thought, he said, "from today on, don't use your ability casually. People's hearts are too complicated."

Charles curled his lips and said, "I can see through!"

Mike raised his eyebrows and said, "open your mouth and show me?"

"Ah!"

Charles obediently opened his mouth, revealing his mouth without a front tooth.

"You still want to see through people's hearts without changing your teeth?"

Mike got up, rubbed Charles' hair and said with a smile, "you can wait until I graduate from college!"

"Hahahaha!" Eric rolled in the back seat laughing.

Charles, with a cold face, pulled Eric's mouth and said disdainfully, "ha, you're missing two!"

Eric: (ー` ー)

This is very annoying.

"Stop it and go home!"

Mike laughed and said, leaving the children to fight and rush home.

……

Wednesday, sunny.

It is already December now. Even if the weather is sunny, when the cold wind in winter blows on people, people still cannot help scolding (XX) in their hearts.

Because he promised the children that he would take them to New York to play, Mike pulled the boys out of their warm beds early in the morning.

Clark obediently went to wash, but Charles and Eric couldn't help yawning and retreating into the warm quilt.

Mike raised his eyebrows, walked out of their room and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Clark stuck his head out.

"I'll fix them in a moment. I'll prepare breakfast, then pack my bags and get ready to go!"

"Pack?"

Clark was puzzled and said, "aren't we going for only one day?"

"Ha!" Mike smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that uncle hank gave us a villa. We haven't seen it yet. Don't you happen to have a winter vacation? We'll spend Christmas there this year."

Clark's eyes lit up and said, "OK, give them to me!"

Mike nodded and went downstairs in peace of mind.

Clark handled personal hygiene with great speed and rushed into Eric and Charles' room.

Standing between the two single beds and looking at the two people with their heads in the quilt, Clark grinned and pulled Charles' quilt open.

"Ah!"

In the sweet scream, Charles hugged his clothes and shivered. Clark smiled at him and grabbed Eric's quilt.

Pull hard.

"Huh?"

Clark looked at the motionless cup, puzzled, and then looked carefully, speechless.

I saw several pieces of shiny metal pressed around the quilt.

Clark said helplessly, "does your ability make you stay in bed? Eric!"

"I'll sleep for five minutes!"

Clark hugged his arm and said, "OK, let's go."

"Don't try to cheat me, dad is still making breakfast, not so fast!"

"Can't you afford it?"

"No!"

Clark laughed and said, "you're welcome."

With that, he grabbed Eric's bed with one hand, began to turn it upside down, left and right, and then put it up.

"Bata!"

Eric shook his head, slipped out of the quilt and threw himself on the ground.

"Haha!"

Charles laughed and rolled on the bed with his stomach in his arms.

Clark put the bed away with a gentle smile on his face and said, "you only have two minutes."

Charles and Eric sighed and put on their clothes skillfully.

In Clark's hands, they have no room for bargaining.

"Dad said that this Christmas, we will go to the villa sent by Uncle hank, so hurry up and pack up later."

"What?"

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

The two stared at Clark.

"Ah..." Clark turned around, turned his back to the two, and said with a bad smile, "if I had said so, I wouldn't have seen you scream."

Then Clark walked out happily in the scream of the two.
