It's a weekend.
Nada changed into a black jacket, touched her hair, which had grown a bit long, took the scissors and repaired it briefly, then looked at herself in the mirror, still unsatisfied, and combed it carefully with her fingers.
David also got up early, brushed his teeth behind him, watched him this action, suddenly sensitive, asked, "... Are you going out to meet someone?"
Nada let out a soft 'hmm'.
David stopped brushing his teeth and asked vaguely, "Who, who do you want to see?"
Nada looked at him and said, "Confidential."
David looked shocked, then aggravated, "I can't believe you're keeping secrets from me!"
Nada says, "It's human to have secrets."
David said, "But I have no secrets from you! I tell you everything!"
He was so emotional that he sprayed toothpaste froth all over Nada's face, Nada wiped his face, and said, "... You go ahead and keep brushing your teeth."
David realized this too, and with a bit of embarrassment, brushed his teeth hurriedly and chased after Nada, asking, "Who the hell are you going to see?"
Another sour note: "All dressed up, you're not going to meet some girl, are you?"
Nada: "?"
Nada said, "No, I'm meeting an elder I haven't seen for a long time, so I'll take you to see her again when I have the chance."
David was convinced, and immediately relaxed, "Well, you should have said so, and kept it a secret."
Nada suddenly turned back and reached out to hug him, rubbing gently against the warm nape of his neck and not saying a word.
David had the hindsight to sense that he didn't seem to be in a good mood and cautiously asked, "What's the matter, you haven't recovered from yesterday, have you? Do you want another kiss then?"
Nada tilted her face up and said in a quiet tone, "Be."
With the dorm room empty, David boldly lowered his head and kissed Nada's soft lips.
There was no tongue sticking out this time, he loved kissing and would always kiss Nada's lips until they were swollen, in the past when Nada had to go out to work she wouldn't let him kiss her too hard so now he remembered that and wouldn't kiss Nada too hard when she went out.
Apparently, though, this is quite enough for Nada.
Nada backed away a bit and said, "It's your birthday in a few days, what do you want for your birthday?"
David was just about to speak when Nada reached over and covered his mouth and said seriously, "Don't say anything yet, you can think about it, and at that point, you'll be an adult."
David nodded frostily.
Nada quirked his lips at him slightly, his eyes glowing as his voice lowered and he said, "Think about it, don't miss this opportunity."
Nada took one last look at David, opened the door to her dorm room, and left.
David stood alone and somewhat confused, and thought really hard about what he wanted for a gift, only to realize that he didn't really lack anything, and didn't want anything in particular-except Nada.
He wants sex.
But would that be too much Nada is only eighteen ... No, he is already nineteen!
He's eighteen! They're all adults!
David was a little giddy, but there was no denying that his heart was poofing at the unholy associations he was making because of those few words from Nada.
Nada was bashful even after those words, and his cheeks immediately reddened as he walked out of his room, but the cold wind that whipped through his bedchamber door instantly cooled him down.
This is also not the time to be thinking about such things.
Nada didn't take a taxi, it was Adolf who sent someone to pick him up, and the person who picked him up was a young man in a suit and glasses, claiming to be Adolf's first secretary, called Lin Runze.
The one in the upscale neighborhood where Song Hui lives has to swipe a card to get in because of the tight security, so Lin Runze came to bring Nada in.
Even though they got up very early, the roads in the capital are just very congested, and a half-hour journey can be delayed into more than two hours, and it was already more than eight o'clock when they arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood.
Lin Runze led him into the neighborhood by swiping his card, and it didn't take long to reach the floor where Song Hui was.
Lin Runze walked to the door and knocked, soon someone opened the door, it was an aunt who had obviously gotten through to her, when she saw Lin Runze, she quietly opened the door and said, "Come on in."
Lin Runze and Nada entered, and Auntie said, "Have the security guard delete the surveillance when you leave, Mr. Chi will check it."
Nada's face froze when she heard the words Mr. Chi.
Auntie said, "Yaoming is boarding in high school and is not at home right now, Mrs. Chi is the only one there, so if you guys want to talk about anything, just hurry up and talk, don't let Mr. Chi bump into you."
Lin Runze heard it and asked. Auntie said, "Mr. Chi is always checking in, thinking that Mrs. Chi has a man outside, she is sick ah, said it is a mental illness, I don't understand, if you want to talk about it, talk faster, if I am bumped into, I will be dismissed is light."
With that, he quietly left.
Nada walked to the door of the room Auntie had pointed to and paused for a long time before gathering the courage to knock.
There was no response, Nada tried to speak, but his voice had already choked up before he could utter the words, he tried to calm down and said in a clear voice, "My father's name is Xie Qinghe, can you open the door?"
The door was suddenly opened and a woman's form was revealed.
This was the first time Nada saw his real mother, this year she should also be almost forty years old, but she was still beautiful, only her expression was numb, the only thing was that when she heard Nada's words, her eyes that were as good as dead finally showed a little bit of luster, her chest rose and fell, with one hand holding on to the doorframe, her voice was very raspy as she asked, "Xie Qinghe?"
Nada's nose was sore, and her tone remained calm as she said, "I heard that my mom's name is Song Hui, so I searched for her."
Song Hui looked at Nada, that face did resemble Xie Qinghe, and tears sprang to her eyes.
It is really strange, when she was born, she felt that the child's nose and eyes are like her, and Xie Qinghe, on the contrary, does not resemble, if Xie Qinghe is still there, she will have to tell him, this child does not look like you, so ugly ah.
Xie Qinghe would surely smile coyly and whisper to her that unlike him, it would be like her, and that she was the prettiest, so the baby wouldn't be ugly.
He's never been very good at coaxing people, but he's so cute when he does.
Her time with him was so blissful, every scene picture a warm color.
Even though almost twenty years had passed, Xie Qinghe's handsome and composed face had always been clearly reflected in her mind, and every bit of their time together had supported her in her darkest days.
She had been waiting for Xie Qinghe for a long time.
Song Hui covered her mouth to control herself from bawling as she choked out, "Where is your, your father?"
Nada didn't say anything, the fact that Xie Qinghe had died long ago was too harsh for her.
Song Hui skimmed his head and asked with great difficulty, "You've grown up so much, is your father married too?"
Nada replied very softly, "He's not married."
Song Hui's eyes lit up as she hastily wiped her tears and whispered, "Come in quickly."
Nada entered the room and froze at the sight of the soft adhesive that had been applied to the sharp parts of the room, then looked at Song Hui, clearly noticing the circles and circles of gauze wrapped around her wrists.
Nada's eyes reddened as the two sat face to face, but neither could speak properly because of the surging emotions.
Song Hui wiped her tears and said, "Your father raised you well, you are very much like him."
It's like everywhere, looks like it, and such a calm and reliable looking personality.
Song Hui quickly got close to Nada because of this face that looks like Xie Qinghe, she smiled a little bit with some inferiority and timidity and whispered, "Do you still recognize me as your mother? I haven't raised you for a day, I haven't given you breast milk, I haven't been able to go to you for so many years, do you still recognize ..."
Nada said in a firm tone, "I recognize, I recognize you, you are my mother."
"..." Song Hui's tears instantly flowed down again, she skimmed her head, wiped her tears, and choked so hard that she could barely speak.
Nada choked up as well, and he lowered his voice, saying, "Mom, I'll pick you up and get you out, and we'll live together then, okay?"
Song Hui looked at him with red eyes, she wanted to ask Xie Qinghe why he didn't come to look for her, or, if he had come to look for her, but she didn't dare to ask.
Xie Qinghe is so smart, so talented, so serious, more than ten years have passed, should also be successful in business, right?
With such a Xie Qinghe, is she still worthy of him?
She is already dirty, and she is no longer the beautiful girl in his heart by someone ... like Chi Po Jun.
Song Hui is always high and proud in front of Qi Bo Jun, only in front of her heart Xie Qing He, she is as low as dust.
She didn't dare to promise Nada, but Nada held her hand seriously and said, "Mom, I will pick you up and get you out, don't worry about anything else, I will help you, and when the time comes, you will live happily with us, Mom, promise me."
Song Hui looked at him and let out a soft 'hmm'.
Before leaving, Nada seriously told Song Hui, "Dad has always loved you, and this intention has not changed for him." Until his death, he has not.
Song Hui heard this, tears fell like rain, as if she also had some courage, she whispered, "I will wait for you."
After dropping Nada off, she was suddenly in better spirits all of a sudden.
In the evening, Qi Bojun came back, he was drunk and was helped back by a gorgeous woman, once inside the house, the two of them embraced each other in a ball on the sofa and kissed.
Auntie turned on the light and saw the two of them, startled and very embarrassed. Qi Bojun glanced at her and asked drunkenly, "Where's Song Hui?"
Auntie replied, "In, in the house."
Qi Bojun was nearly forty years old, handsome, not old at all, perhaps maintained, looked young, he wrinkled his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "Let her out, I'm going to take Shiaolei in for sex, love."
His voice was very loud, obviously purposely letting Song Hui hear it.
The woman cried out in aggravation, "Mr. Chi, I'm Xiaoya, not Shiaolei, you're mistaken again!"
Qi Bojun casually coaxed a few sentences, but saw Song Hui really come out of the doorway, not even looking at him, and walked into another room, gently closing the door.
Qi Bojun wrinkled his eyebrows and sneered, straddling the woman to Song Hui's room to do her business, deliberately pinching the woman's softest place, making her scream loudly.
Around the same time, it was still quiet over there.
Qi Bojun drove the woman away and kicked in Song Hui's door bare-chested, choking her and asking, "What the hell do you want?"
His eyes were red and he looked drunk, but a few moments of sobriety were stored in the depths of his eyes.
Song Hui looked at such Qi Bojun and suddenly curved the corner of his lips and smiled faintly.
As shameless and disgusting as Qi Bojun was, she was now able to tolerate it.
Her son was waiting for her, and so was the one she liked, and he couldn't hold her.
Even if it's for her son, she's going to live a good life, and she's not going to kill herself again.

Nada used ice on his eyes but still couldn't hide the redness, he simply didn't go back to his dorm room.
However with David calling one after the other, there was no way for Nada not to answer, and after he purposely ignored two calls, he eventually picked up a third.
David held his tongue over there before saying, "Look, this is the back of my hand and this is the back of my foot."
Nada: "... What are you trying to say?"
David's voice was a little low, and with a tone of obvious shy embarrassment, he said, "You're my baby."
Nada: "..."
David whispered, "Why don't you go back to your dorm room, little baby?"
Nada said, "You want me to go back?"
David said, "I got your comforter all warmed up for you, come back."
David added, "I'll jerk off in your bed if you don't come back."
David said, "The jerk-off wet kind."
Nada: "..."
Nada said in a serious tone, "I'll go back, I'll be right back, be merciful, the quilt is hard to wash."
Nada eventually went back, David became extra attentive at times like this, always noticing when Nada was different, he whispered, "What's wrong with you?"
Nada said seriously, "The wind blows red eyes, do you believe it?"
David realizes that Nada does lie to him on occasion, and with red, swollen eyes like these, which don't look windblown red, he scratches his head and says, "Believe it, I believe it."
Or honestly downstairs supermarket bought ice packs, to Nada eyes, fake said: "recently the day is really cold, almost 20 degrees below zero, the wind is also strong, you are fine or do not go out, for the skin is not good, but also get dry eyes."
Nada let out a soft 'hmm'.
At night, David ignores his two other roommates and squeezes into Nada's bed.
When his roommate Zhu Yi saw him, he joked, "You guys are really close, you have to sleep together even when you sleep."
David said matter-of-factly, "You're envious, you sleep in a bed with Xu Kai too."
Zhu Yi waved his hand, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Xu Kai said disgustedly, "I'm not sleeping with you, you have sweaty feet, it stinks me to death."
Zhu Yi said, "Then I'm inclined to sleep with you if you say so."
The two made a scene in bed, David quietly drew the curtain and lay down next to Nada, pulling the covers back and kissing Nada under the covers.
The warmth and reassurance that came from kissing without any desire, just the meeting of lips and teeth, mesmerized Nada.
David muttered, "Don't be upset, they say ninety-nine percent of the unhappiness in this world is caused by a lack of money, and if you're upset, I'll give you all my bank cards right now."
Nada backed away a bit and asked him, "Aren't you afraid I'll roll up all your money and run away?"
David subconsciously replied, "Don't forget my allowance."
Nada smiled as he gently rubbed the nape of David's neck and lowered his voice to say, "Thanks anyway."
David said, "You don't have to say thank you."
He said shyly, "If you're really thankful, be gentle with me from now on, okay, and don't be mean to me all the time."
Nada: "... I'm mean to you?"
David said, "Yeah."
He said accusingly, "You were so mean before and told me to get lost."
Nada immediately remembered, his smile fading as he said, "That's what you deserve."
David: "?"
So fierce!
*
The Chi family is a behemoth, and there doesn't seem to be any way for Nada to do anything to Chi Poongun right now, but Adolf is more than happy to lend a hand.
On the one hand, the fact that it's Nada that David likes makes Adolf largely relieved.
He knows his son too well, and knows that he can't manage a group of companies with this temperament, and even though he's looking at this area now, it's only an investment area, not a management and leadership area.
But Nada clearly has the talent for it, and Adolf senses in him a certain ambition similar to his own.
Although he is ambitious, he will not go out of his way to do anything; he is tough-minded and knows what he is doing, and is the seedling of the heir that Adolf favors.
Adolf doesn't care so much if the heir is of his own blood, but he does care a little about whether or not his heart's blood will be sought by the wrong people.
If David had liked someone else, Adolf would have to worry about the possibility of being cheated on, but with Nada, he was at ease.
The question now is whether Nada can accept his son.
Men and men, it's more or less shocking to the average person, isn't it?
Silly son has no planning whatsoever, and doesn't know how to pursue courting people, and proposes right off the bat, not afraid of people slapping him in the face?
Of course, with a nature like Nada's, the odds were that his son would tolerate even the worst of it - and he admired him for that.
Nada is even more favorable, and now he is in trouble, Adolf no matter how to help, so as to win people's goodwill, perhaps they are touched, really to his son's proposal of marriage at that moment, the heart of the soft will agree to it?
Though the purpose of the help was impure, Adolf felt no guilt; at his age, calculations were almost instinctive.
So he offered Nada the option to help in a very timely manner.
Nada only hesitated for a few minutes at Adolf's offer before agreeing.
He wanted to pick up Song Hui out as soon as possible, Adolf's proposal was undoubtedly the most effective, and also feeling the tenderness and consideration of this elder, in fact, Adolf could have not cared about this matter, but he still cared about it without saying a word.
It was like that from the beginning, he was just a poor student with nothing to lose, but Adolf always treated him with great respect and consideration.
Nada sees Adolf and only gradually realizes how David was able to grow into that kind of nature; both father and son are very gentle people.
Though Adolf is skittish, Nada takes her time talking to Adolf about her thoughts because of his gentle demeanor.
Adolf said: "Qi Pojun that person I know, his character is very radical, very arrogant, egotistical, in the shopping mall, this character also has advantages and disadvantages, sometimes he will be because of his character without saying anything to set aside all the non-negotiables to create a project hundreds of millions of net profit gains, sometimes also because of the unseen character loss of hundreds of millions of dollars, but now look at, he creates the Value far more than his father, so the Chi family these ten years is also transformed, extraordinary. However, Qi Bojun is a tyrant who dictates and tyrannizes, and has almost no loyal subordinates around him."
Nada says, "Even the strongest shell is weak on the inside."
When Nada finished, Adolf smiled at him, appreciation in his eyes, "But he's also smart enough not to fall for it so easily."
Adolf said, "Come work for my company, a good bird chooses a tree, I'll train you well."
With some hesitation, Nada said, "I'm going to ask David."
Adolf said, "You ask."
Nada gave David a call about it.
David didn't seem the least bit surprised, but his tone was very slightly troubled, "Won't that be exhausting? My dad is a cruel capitalist, you won't have a good time in his hands."
Adolf: "..."
Is that how he looks to his son?
Nada was also a little embarrassed, and it seemed deliberate to turn off the speaker at this point, so she had to say, "Where's your dad's cruelty?"
David said sorrowfully, "He'll exploit every second of your life, if you go to work for his company, you'll have no time to eat, and if you don't, you'll get gastrointestinal problems; you'll have no time for your own life, and by the time you react to it you'll be almost thirty; you'll be cold and cruel so that you'll be able to measure other people's labor in terms of money... ..."
David concludes by summarizing, "I'm already working so hard to make money, so you can stop being so tired."
Nada: "..."
Despite the bullshit in the front, the words that followed baffled Nada.
David said, "Of course, I didn't mean for you not to work, I just don't want you to get too tired, but if you like it, of course I'll support you."
David now figures out that the odds are that Nada, his former son, married him because of Adolf's request, and that if Adolf took him to be groomed as an heir, then he made him marry him out of non-blood considerations in order to form the strongest kinship possible.
This way even if Nada controls the whole group, it will still be his David's wife and the group will still be the group.
In that case, his dad is really good and bad, a capitalist no less.
It's also figured out that David is so heartbroken for the former Nada.
The former Nada didn't really have to carry that heavy of a burden at all.
Nada had no idea what David was thinking as he held back the sourness and said calmly, "I like that I have to go higher to protect the people I want to protect."
David froze and whispered, "Do you want to protect me?"
Nada let out a soft "hmmm" and David whispered, "I'm more like protecting you, am I still a man if I let you protect me?"
Nada: "... So you have machismo?"
David said in a sheepish tone, "I have a star protection doctrine!"
Nada blushes at the meat of the situation, and then realizes that Adolf is still here, and is embarrassed; he's about to say something else and hang up.
David lowered his voice and said quietly, "Star, if you want to work at my dad's place, be bold and ask him to give you the manager's position straight away, if Shi Yan Yu can do it, so can you! You're better than him!"
David said, "No, the manager is too low to deserve you, just have him give you the VP!"
Nada: "..."
David said, "Oh, you're too chicken to dare, I'll do it, I'll get him to give you a VP straight away, I believe in you!"
Nada: "......"
Adolf: "......"
