knock knock knock ...
The three ate all their noodles out of their bowls and exhaled in satisfaction.
"Excellent!"
.
Charles suddenly said mysteriously, "By the way, Dad! I bet you don't know what happened tonight?"
He winked at Clark as he finished.
Clark froze and said, "You guys..."
Eric patted Clark's shoulder and said, "Nice dance."
Clark just smiled sarcastically.
"Hey, hey!" Charles grinned, "There's a girl dancing with Clark, Dad, bet you didn't see that coming!"
Mike answered with a dry cough as he walked towards the kitchen with his bowl in hand.
"Dad, you're reacting a bit strangely."
Charles looked at Mike suspiciously.
Mike's eyes popped out of the corner of his head and he paused in his step and said, "Strange? What's strange?"
"You're supposed to be gossiping and asking who the girl is when you hear the news, right?"
What a wit!
Mike whimpered in his mind, but said calmly, "With Clark's 'looks', it's only natural that a girl would ask him out, so why should I be surprised? I thought it was you, you're so surprised by everything."
"Ha ha!"
Eric looked at Charles with derision.
After a pause, Mike said to Clark, "What's the girl's name?"
Charles and Eric also looked at Clark curiously.
Clark got up and frowned, "Nope, It was just a dance, I didn't ask her name, I'm going to bed"
With those words, Clark quickly headed upstairs.
Charles and Eric shrugged.
The corner of Mike's mouth twitched.
Hey, the kid's a liar now.
.
He headed for the kitchen, saying to Charles and Eric at the same time, "Get some sleep."
The two laughed and joked as they went upstairs.
Mike breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the three disappear from sight.
He couldn't let them know about this, it would rot in his stomach for the rest of his life.
...
Due to the horrific events at the school yesterday and the fact that the school term was already short, the school simply took a summer break.
This means that Clark has officially graduated.
The three kids decided to go on a trip together.
Yes, three of them, no Mike.
Mike's forehead was throbbing as he watched the three of them discussing the trip with great enthusiasm.
After the three of them had finished discussing, Mike looked at the group with a sneer and said, "A trip? Do you have any money?"
The three men looked at Mike.
Charles said playfully, "You'll give us that, won't you, Dad?"
"Ho-ho."
Mike sneered and said, "Overthink it, you'll figure it out yourselves."
"No way!"
Eric's eyes widened as he said, "Dad, you're that cruel?"
Puzzled, Clark said, "What, you want us to take you with us?"
"You guys are taking me?" Mike sneered, tapped his pocket and said, "Joke! I've got money, I can go wherever I want! Do I need you guys to take me?"
The three men listened ...
Hey, that makes sense!
"Ahem!"
Charles snapped his face and said, "That ... Dad, you take us on a trip!"
"No." Mike shook his head and said, "Go work for yourself to earn money, it's a long holiday anyway."
"Oh yeah, you guys did remind me." Mike slapped his head and said, "I'm going to go on a trip tomorrow, you three go and work, and when you've got the money, you go on the trip."
The three of them were dumbfounded.
Mike laughed coldly and walked out of the room, breathing a sigh of relief.
He'd done what he'd said he'd do, and we'd see what the three boys would do!
The three men in the room stared at each other in disbelief and had a headache.
"Dad seems to be angry."
Eric said, a little worried.
Clark mopped his chin and said, "It's okay, we have to give him some space, let him have a date, if he doesn't find someone, he won't be wanted."
Eric nodded with a heavy face and looked at Charles, "Why don't you say something?"
Charles clenched his jaw, "I was thinking how we could get the money as quickly as possible."
Clark said sternly, "Don't use your powers to do that!"
Waving his hand, Charles mused as he said, "You don't have to tell me about that, Dad will smack me if he finds out."
"And stop talking, I've just had an idea, and you've made me forget it again."
Clark and Eric stared at Charles with curiosity.
After a few moments, Charles' eyes lit up and he whispered his idea to the two men.
Clark and Eric looked at each other and it seemed ... feasible?
The three men nodded and decided to wait for Mike to leave and start the operation tomorrow.
Outside the door, Mike waited for a while, but when he didn't see the three of them come out, he touched his head and sighed softly.
The boy was really growing up and had a mind of his own.
He was a bit disappointed.
But that's all for now.
It's been a long time since I've been out alone ...
He had already planned the trip in his head.
...
The next day, Mike left the boys at the airport early in the morning. He called the three of them before the plane took off and the three said they would soon be earning money and going on a trip.
Mike laughed and said, "Good luck, boys!"
With that, he hung up the phone and looked out the window.
Just then ...
"Eh? Mike!"
A surprised voice rang out and Mike was shocked.
No way, no how!
He turned his head firmly to look, and saw a man who looked like a good old boy was looking at him.
Well, that description was used again by Mike.
If there was any difference from before, it was that his hairline was a little higher and he was looking more and more dangerous.
"Coulson."
Mike's smile faltered a little.
Coulson looked at his seat and said, "It's fate, meeting again, and my seat is right next to yours."
Fate, my ass!
Mike smiled and nodded, but in the back of his mind he was wondering if he should throw Coulson off the plane.
"Mike, are you going to Hawaii?"
The corners of Mike's eyes popped and his mouth twitched, "No, I'm going to jump off in a minute."
Coulson: "?"
