During her days in New York, Gloria would go to Time Magazine's headquarters every day to play and make a friend named Elena.
Don't get me wrong, Elena is a girl.
When he was in New York, Li Mu didn't care about this matter, but he didn't expect that Gloria actually got the idea.
This is really a headache, Li Mu didn't know that Gloria's enthusiasm could last for a few minutes, but Li Mu couldn't bear the consequences, it wasn't a problem to want to be a reporter, but war reporters were too nonsense, in case something happened, Li Mu couldn't explain it to Will.
Not long after Gloria went upstairs, Sandy came down with the corner of her skirt.
"Gloria cried," Sandy whispered in Li Mu's ear as she pinched her throat.
"Ignore her, it'll be fine in two days."
Will is not there, and the home is Li Mu's Yiyantang.
"What did you do to her," Sandy was curious.
In fact, among the two little girls, Sandy and Li Mu have a better relationship, perhaps because of same-sex rejection, Sandy and Gloria are constantly contradictory, there are often conflicts between the two, and it is not uncommon for them to fight and do something, Li Mu generally does not interfere, but as long as he interferes, he will always maintain Sandy a little more.
Sandy is young.
To be honest, many times Li Mu feels very weird, obviously he is just a child, but in front of Gloria and Sandy, Li Mu just has a feeling of being a parent.
"It's her own whims, she wants to do something bad, she has to be a war correspondent, haven't you seen enough corpses in Cuba and Hawaii" Li Mu didn't think it was his fault, although Li Mu's way of dealing with it was simple and rude, but in the face of adolescent little girls, it was very stupid to try to reason with them.
In fact, it is correct to be reasonable, Li Mucai will not admit it, he is unreasonable just because he is afraid of trouble.
"It's not whimsical, look at what we've all been through, the other kids are still in school, and the two of us are going to follow you around," Sandy sighed, and his tone sounded unusually mature.
Born in a family like Will and without a hostess, Gloria and Sandy's experience is not something that ordinary little girls can have, and it's no wonder that Gloria is whimsical.
"Anyway, it's not allowed, the battlefield is not as fun as you imagined, in case something happens, have you ever thought about it for Will" Li Mu insisted, Li Mu knew the relationship between Will and the two girls, if something happened to Gloria or Sandy, Will would go crazy.
"Then you always have to coax her, isn't it your responsibility to take care of us" Sandy said vigorously, it seemed that he really regarded Li Mu as a guardian.
Thinking about it, this is indeed the truth, when Will went to Montana, he handed over Gloria and Sandy to Li Mu to take care of, so Li Mu really couldn't let it go.
Gloria's room is at the corner of the stairs, just around the corner when you go up the stairs, and then past Sandy's room.
To be honest, this was Li Mu's first time in Gloria's room.
Li Mu didn't knock on the door first, and pushed the door directly.
The décor in the room is very simple, the wooden floor has just been waxed, bright enough to dazzle the eyes, and on the right hand side of the door is a row of wooden wardrobes, the dark brown color matches the floor very well, but it does not look like a room where a girl lives.
There is a self-portrait of Gloria hanging on the wall, the brushwork is immature, the painting skills are rough, it seems to be the work of Gloria when she was in art class, and there is a traditional Chinese painting of the Celestial Empire next to it, thick ink and light color, majestic, Li Mu remembers that it seems to have been obtained from Tweed, but there is no impression.
Maybe someone was heard entering the room, and Gloria's muffled voice came from the bed: "Get out" Wow, the temperament is not small.
Gloria's bed is similar to Li Mu's bed, a traditional Chinese-style bed, which is needless to say is Lao Yan's craftsmanship, and now Gloria is throwing herself on the bed, her head buried in the pillow, and she is rolling around on the bed, looking like a little wild cat abandoned by her owner.
"Gloria, we need to talk."
Li Mu put on a posture of a long talk.
Gloria, who was rolling on the bed, seemed to be electrified, and then suddenly sat up and glared at Li Mu angrily: "Who allowed you to come in, don't you know to knock on the door when you go out?"
Fortunately, I didn't let me get out, and I still gave face.
"I knocked, you didn't hear me."
Li Mu stared at him and said nonsense.
"Is this the reason to break into my room" Gloria didn't tell whether what Li Mu said was true or not, and her focus was not on whether there was a knock on the door.
"Listen Gloria, Will will hand you two over to me, and I'll be responsible for you, so war correspondents definitely can't, you'd better dispel this idea, maybe you can go to Time magazine and work as an intern editor with your friends or something."
Li Mu opened the topic and was not ready to entangle with Gloria.
"Responsible for us, do you know what we have done in Cuba, do you know how much we are suffering in Hawaii, do you know why I want to leave this home" Gloria suddenly cried, and a series of questions made Li Mu speechless.
Indeed, Li Mu thought back carefully on this year, and had to admit that Li Mu and Will both ignored Gloria and Sandy, including Chu Xue.
The teenage girl is in the period of ideological rebellion, which is the age of hero worship, if Li Mu's behavior has always been Wei Guangzheng, then maybe Gloria and Sandy will automatically transfer their worship of their father to Li Mu, and the problem happens that Li Mu and Will have acted in the past two years is not above board, so Sandy may be better, but Gloria is very tormented.
"Gloria, Will doesn't ignore you and Sandy, in fact you know, Will loves you very much, Will has always cared about you, otherwise Will wouldn't have taken you with him when he went to Cuba, and he wouldn't have taken you off to take care of you when he went to Montana."
Li Mu picked something nice and said, first calm down this little girl who was about to go berserk.
"That's what you call a concern," Gloria snapped.
Even if Li Mu has never been a father, Li Mu knows that something is wrong, and the little girl in this grade needs more spiritual care.
In fact, they are all moaning without disease, and when they eat and drink, they will naturally pay attention to their spirits, if they don't eat or wear, and worry about filling their stomachs all day long, they won't have these sad autumn and sad months.
"So what kind of care do you understand, care from material to spiritual, don't be hypocritical, you are not a five or six-year-old child now, since you want to come out to work, it shows that you have grown up, and when you grow up, you can't do whatever you want, you should be responsible for your decisions, whether it is as a war correspondent, or as an intern editor, you should choose a career that can reassure those who care about you, not only to make those who love you feel comforted, but also to be responsible for your own life."
Li Mu no longer talks about any humanistic care, and strives to make Gloria face reality.

A large part of the reason for the so-called adolescent rebellious period is that children feel that they are not respected, and those exaggerated behaviors are sometimes just to get attention, in order to tell the people around them that they have grown up, but the embarrassing thing is that they often don't know how to express themselves, so "maverick" has become the choice of many people.
It can't be said to be wrong, after all, everyone has passed the second grade, and it can only be said that it is immature and irrational.
But mature and rational is not secondary two.
"Being a war correspondent is my own choice, I am not impulsive, I was born in a military family, I have been exposed to these since I was a child, and I am not one of those weak vases, when I encounter danger, I have a way to protect myself."
Gloria said, suddenly pulling out a pistol in a gesture similar to drawing a gun.
This is a silver shiny "Anaconda" detective pistol, similar to the one in the early snow, and the decorative role is far greater than the practicality.
But I have to admit that Gloria is not bragging, her action of pulling out the gun is very standard, and the hand holding the gun is also very stable, and Gloria's muzzle is not aimed at Li Mu, but at the wall on the side.
It's a good habit indeed.
"What's the use of only playing tricks, have you ever shot and killed someone" Li Mu still has to find fault, even if Gloria takes out a "Rainstorm" light machine gun, Li Mu will not think that Gloria has the ability to protect herself.
"I remember telling you that I went hunting with Will when I was six years old, and I hunted a wild boar when I was eight years old, and I was a registered hunter in Springfield, and I got my certificate before you arrived in the United States," Gloria pride, like a hen that had just laid her first egg.
Li Mu really didn't have anything to say this time, following that guy Will, it was very difficult for Gloria to be raised as a lady.
"About my shooting skills, you can ask Bresta and Chard, don't think that only you men can play with guns, and we women are not weak."
Gloria is still showing off.
"Being able to play with guns and daring to shoot and kill people are two different things, there are too many uncontrollable factors on the battlefield, so Gloria, I can't let you go."
Li Mu went back to the original point.
"Then find someone for me to prove, and don't say you can't find it, Your Majesty," Gloria said in astonishment.
It seems that Li Mu's nickname is really well-known, and even Gloria, who has only been in New York for a few days, has heard of it.
"Gloria, that's not the way you should talk to me."
Li Mu was dissatisfied, the sarcasm in Gloria's words was obvious, and Li Mu felt very bad.
"That's what I am, and don't think that I can't achieve my ideals without Time, as long as I think there's more than one newspaper in the United States."
Gloria's attitude was resolute, and this time her words really made Li Mu feel uncomfortable.
"You're right, I really think so, as long as I think, no newspaper in the United States dares to accept you, if you don't believe it, you can try."
Li Mu is not joking, he does have this ability, and at the same time has this determination
