David suddenly looked at Nada and opened his mouth wide. "Really? But is it really the case?"
Cage's voice is also full of excitement, "Yes, it's true, this news will be broadcast at 8:30 tonight on the TV channel, you can pay attention."
David hung up the phone, stared at Nada, slipped his Adam's apple a few times, and whispered, "Cage found something. You need to brace yourself."
Nada looked at him. "You tell me."
David swallowed hard and said carefully, "The reporter went to your hometown to interview, your life is probably a little complicated."
Nada opened her eyes slightly, a little blank, "How can I say?"
David said, "Come over to my house tonight. It's on the 8:30 p.m. news."
That evening Nada asked for leave and went with David to his house.
For the first two hours, Nada sat on the soft, comfortable leather sofa in David's house, and her mind went blank.
Although he had suspected this many times, looking at their similar features could not refute their blood relationship in any way.
As David sat next to him, he remembered what Cage had told him about the investigation and felt a terrible pang of grief.
Seeing Nada look calm, but in fact the eyes are lax appearance, David heart filled with infinite pity and heartache.
He couldn't help but put his hand around his shoulder and whispered, "It's almost eight thirty, would you like something to eat first?" You didn't eat much for dinner."
Nada said softly, "No, I'm not hungry right now."
David stopped talking and put his hand gently on Nada's shoulder, silently comforting him.
Within a few minutes, at 8:30, the local news time in A city began to broadcast this news, with the title of David's "Surprise! Harvard seed students are forced by their families to drop out of school to work, which is a moral decline or a distortion of human nature ", very eye-catching.
The screen showed Bridget interviewing Nanyang students, of course, she interviewed a lot of students, but only kept three shots, keeping the part of Jinkui's Revelations.
Then Bridget went to interview her neighbors, the Masons, and after being rejected by the Masons, she drove to the Liao city that the neighbors said.
As a reporter, there are more or less various channels, so Bridget doesn't have to spend much time, go straight to Mason's hometown, interview the neighbors, and gradually recover a truth.
"Mason, I know him. I work with his father. We know each other very well."
"Did he do something out there? It's not a crime, he's been a bit of a bad boy since he was a child, compared to his brother -"
Catching the word perfectly, Bridget interrupts her neighbor to ask, "Does he have a brother?"
"Yes, he and his brother are twin brothers, they look exactly the same when they are young, but they are not quite the same when they grow up." His elder brother is called Xie Qinghe, his elder brother is really handsome, learning is also very good, have been admitted to the university of Pennsylvania? Is that the name? It's a good college. His family's happy. He is a child, how to say, people are particularly good, the heart is real, I remember one winter, a few children in the village to go fishing in the reservoir, a child fell into the reservoir, Qinghe this child saw, without saying a word jumped down to save people and children."
"Winter ah, several degrees below zero, he said jump, did not hesitate at all, the child saved up, he also fell ill, it seems that just read junior high school?" The child is still growing, his mother has been cooking traditional Chinese medicine for him for several months to recuperate his body, and his father always complains to me that the child has a real heart, and if he does not know how to water, to save himself, how sad his family will be if something happens."
"He is now? Now... Ah, and the rescue of the thing, it seems to be many years ago, I can hardly remember, it was probably 92 years, it was also a winter, a few days on New Year's Eve, he suddenly ran out, there was an accident, I heard that there was a mud truck skidded on the road, nearly hit a child, he rushed out to push the other children away, and he... His family is crying their eyes out, and he hasn't even graduated from college, so what will he do after college? In his accident, the driver who hit him was also poor, not much money, but also lost a 200,000, but such a small amount of money, that is better than cultivating a college student ah, his family body also cried bad, the second year also followed, what a pity, the family was fine, you said he cared about the child, the child's life is life, his own life is not life? It's too honest."
"Huh? Does Qinghe have a girlfriend? Let me think about it. I think there is? Wait, I'm calling someone!"
"Hey, Dad! What?"
"You come here, this is a reporter, come to interview, you tell him, does Mason's brother have a girlfriend?"
"Ah, this... I think, yes, I remember he said, he talked about a very beautiful object, as if the family is quite rich, the woman's family seems to be very dissatisfied with him, other I do not know, but he is very boring, not particularly troublesome things will not say, I think he told me so much at that time, it should be quite stressful, and I do not know whether it is divided. But I think it's a split."
Then Bridget asked her neighbor, "Tell me more about Mason, please."
"Mason ah, far from his brother, you said are twins, how he is so far from, since childhood did not love to read, lazy, love to lie, steal money, but also often with those outside gangsters together, anyway, with his brother than one day to day, his father often beat him, not to fight, this child also hit his father, you said this contrast, Can his family not like Qinghe? That is the Qinghe to the death of pain, not spoiled, but also particularly sensible, when I was in primary school, I often help do farm work, do housework, but also know that family birthday gifts, Father's Day and Mother's Day have not fallen, the school awards to buy winter clothes and shoes for the family, did not spend a penny on their own."
You can tell that the neighbor really likes Mason's brother. He can't stop talking about him, but Bridget has to interrupt him to ask Mason more.
"Mason's girlfriend? That's true. The kid dropped out of high school, went to work, got a girlfriend the next year -- and now his wife, Asma, Asma from the city, has a lot of vision, talks to Mason, doesn't talk about marriage, is young, and his family isn't anxious, but I've heard, His father complained that Asma's family wanted 100,000."
"At that time, 100,000 yuan was not a small amount, it was very valuable, he had some money at home, but he could not take so much, so he kept dragging, anyway, until his brother had an accident, both of them did not pull evidence." After his brother's accident, his family was gone the next year, so I'm afraid his brother's compensation will fall into his hands, and this is probably how the marriage ended."
"Mason, how many children? He only has one, and now he has a second child? I don't know, I've only seen him bring one back for New Year, and his son's name is what, Tyler?"
"His niece? I've never heard of it. A year older than Tyler? I don't know."
...
The reporter is still visiting, asking the neighbors, all said they did not know the existence of Nada.
At this time, David was in no mood to listen any more in front of the TV. He looked at Nada in a panic, and his voice was very weak. "You, you don't cry."
Nada looked up at the light and could see that her eyes were full of water. It was as if tears would come in a blink of an eye.
David scrambled out a few sheets of paper to wipe his tears, and Nada turned her head and said, "It's okay, I'm not crying."
David said, "... You calm down, this is a good thing, I told you that you have different aura, not like family, you should have doubts, now probably close to it."
Nada didn't speak, but reached out and took the tissue from David's hand and turned her face away to gently wipe it.
David said cautiously, "That Xie Qinghe must be your real father. He is so nice. He is much better than Mason."
Nada heard this, and it was a little funny, though she knew he was trying to comfort him, but wouldn't it hurt more to say it?
Nada gave a shaky "um" voice.
The calm expression he had been maintaining was finally broken at this time, and it was difficult for him to control his emotions from being affected by the news.
By this point, he knew for sure that his biological father was a wonderful, wonderful man, a hero who would sacrifice his life for others, and that he was greater than he had ever imagined.
But his father's so nice, and he doesn't even get to meet him.
Nada was burning all over, and David noticed it too. He looked apprehensively at Nada's blushing cheeks and whispered, "Shall we stop? Take a bath and rest?"
Nada gave a soft "um".
David pulled him up, took him to the bathroom, put him in hot water, and used a small ball of shark bath salts. A faint aroma wafted through the room, but it didn't calm Nada as much as the last time.
David came over with his new pajamas and asked anxiously, "Is it okay to take a bath by yourself?"
Nada nodded slowly, "No problem, you go ahead."
He added, "Thank you."
David walked out of the bathroom, closed the door, stood there and scratched some long hair, glanced at the bathroom door, pulled up a chair, and sat there.
After taking a bath, Nada opened the bathroom door and saw him sitting in the bathroom door. She was shocked and asked, "What are you sitting here for?"
David peeped into his face, found that even the corners of his eyes were bright and red, a look is crying, he swallowed, said: "I'm afraid you want to open."
Nada: "..."
Nada said: "It is a bit too hard."
David was shocked. "No! Don't be impulsive! You are only eighteen years old, and there are many good days ahead of you. You cannot despise life for such trifles!"
Seeing how nervous he was, Nada exhaled, her voice tinged with warmth. "I'm just kidding."
David calmed down. "... You can't joke about things like that. I'm afraid. '
Nada bent her lips slightly, smiled, and once again said sincerely, "Thank you."
David looked at his face, which was a little red from the bath, and lowered his voice slightly. "Do you want me to sleep with you?" he asked.
Nada did not refuse for a moment. He lifted his face and looked into David's concerned eyes. "... MHM."
David rubbed his ears. "You want me to sleep with you?"
"Let's talk," Nada said.
David answered immediately.
Nada watched him make a bunk on the floor, puzzled. "You can sleep with me."
David didn't blink an eye and said, "I don't sleep well, I'm afraid I'll kick you out of bed, I'd better sleep on the floor!"
Nada looked at David's strong limbs and was silent.
After lights out, Nada said first, "Let's sleep together, even if there is a carpet, but this weather, it will be cold at night."
"I don't sleep very well," says David.
Nada said, "It's okay. I'm sleeping well. You can't wake me up."
When David heard this, he thought, "Yes, Nada's sleep quality has always been very good, he sometimes wakes up to treat him, and he can not wake up after the treatment."
At this thought David found himself on his feet again.
In the heart is almost some despair, why, why before can do it to his heart's content, he is not willing, too troublesome, and now always want to.
Is this the kind of time he can think about something like that? He's a monster!
Animals!
David didn't understand. Before he could think about it, he heard a rustling sound in his ears. The next moment, a warm body squeezed into his bed and Nada's clear, melodious voice came into his ears. "If you don't go to bed, I'll sleep on the floor with you."
David: "..."
He got a little desperate and said, "Don't... Don't put it so close!"
Nada was silent. "What's wrong?"
David did not dare to speak, he felt a little like crying, and could only try to quell the primordial power within himself.
"Go to bed," Nada said.
When Nada saw that he did not answer, she did not care, and whispered, "Go to bed."
David: "..."
David said, "Go, go, go. You go first."
Nada went out of his bed.
David took another moment before he was able to calmly get to Nada's bed.
Nada gave up most of the room to him, pulled the moderately thick quilt over his face, covering most of his face, and said in a dull voice, "Thank you."
David said, "You've said it so many times, you really don't need to know it."
Nada said nothing.
After a while, David asked, "What are you going to do now that Mason isn't your real dad?"
Nada pulled back the covers and whispered, "I wonder if they were really going to sell me that day."
David was silent for a moment, then asked cautiously, "What if it's true?"
Nada: "I want to Sue them."
Nada turned to look at David. Even in the darkness, she could see the outline of David's cheek. His voice dropped a little. "I'm not as good as you think I am.
Unaware, David said, "It's good to hold a grudge, so that no one will bully you."
