Chapter 56

Ning Bai looked at Lin Ziran in disbelief, his pupils constricted, and the color on his face faded, it won't be...

impossible……

How could it be like this...

Lin Ziran also watched them silently.

The scene was once very embarrassing.

But everything that was not understood before can now be explained.

This is why in the original plot, Lu Maofeng and his wife could ruthlessly send Lu Xiaodong abroad and let him die outside alone. Why did Lu Maofeng see such a cold and deformed family relationship when he came here? Maofeng knew Jiang Xuan's plan, and wanted to send himself to Jiang Xuan. He only cared about whether he was worth using. Why was he always the one who was denied in Lu Xiaodong's diary, no matter how hard he tried? If you can't get affirmation, you can't get the sincere approval of your parents.

Lin Ziran didn't know what Ning Bai looked like when he was a child, but he must be better than Lu Xiaodong, better looking, smarter, more capable, and more sensible than him...

In the eyes of Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan, Lu Xiaodong will never be as good as their lost biological son, so no matter how hard they try, it is impossible to become what the other party wants. Lu Xiaodong is just a poor substitute, even with Even after twenty years, they still can't warm the hearts of this couple...

Lin Ziran lamented that time is a butcher's knife...

system?

Lin Ziran and Lu Maofeng should have been handsome men back then...

system……

Lin Ziran fell silent.

Lu Xiaodong really deserved to be a cannon fodder, the biggest joke in this story.

He was Jiang Xuan's licking dog, and Jiang Xuan wanted to break his legs.

He was Ning Bai's licking dog, and Ning Bai dismissed him.

But in the final analysis, what Lu Xiaodong really cares about is neither Jiang Xuan nor Ning Bai... He really spent his whole life, until he died, all he was doing was Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan's dog licking ...!

But Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan only regarded him as an inferior substitute, and finally abandoned him ruthlessly.

He uses his life to explain what it means to lick a dog until nothing is left!

It's a pity that what he doesn't understand is that instead of trying to please someone who will never like him, it's better to be himself and try to live for himself once.

He didn't need to please anyone, he didn't need to live for anyone.

The corners of Lin Ziran's mouth curled up, showing a relieved smile, and sighed, "Mom and Dad, so he is your biological son, no wonder you don't like me all the time..."

Lin Ziran's expression was calm and his tone was not fierce, but Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan looked very embarrassed.

Lin Ziran didn't care if they were embarrassed or not, and said with a little sarcasm, "I didn't eavesdrop on your conversation on purpose, I accidentally heard it when I came back. The sound insulation in the study is not good, so I should change the door... I just want to Let's see who is your own son, is he much better than me, so that you will never forget it."

Lu Maofeng's expression became even more embarrassing, he said cautiously, "Xiaodong, don't get excited, we will explain to you..."

Feng Wan's lips trembled, but he didn't speak.

Lin Ziran was puzzled, "Do I look excited? I'm fine, just a little surprised, but it seems that it's not that surprising..."

He was really not very excited, it was just a game, no matter how tragic Lu Xiaodong was, it was just a bunch of data. He sympathizes with Lu Xiaodong very much, but he doesn't feel too sad and indignant because of a bunch of data, he just has a little...can't understand these annoying NPCs.

Since it's just a game, people who don't like it shouldn't force themselves to make do with it.

Lin Ziran smiled, "Go ahead, I'll go first."

Turn around and leave after speaking.

Ning Bai looked at the boy's back as he turned and left... without even thinking about it, he quickly ran after him!

He reached out and grabbed Lin Ziran's wrist.

Lin Ziran turned to look at him.

The man's face was slightly pale, and his eyes, which were usually calm and rational, almost without any emotional fluctuations, were filled with inexplicable and complicated emotions at this moment. His thin lips were slightly parted, with an imperceptible trill, "You..."

Although Lin Ziran only said a few words just now, Ning Bai quickly judged a lot of key information.

First of all, Lin Ziran is not his own, otherwise he would not say that you are their biological son, which means that Lin Ziran is not his real brother.

Secondly, Lin Ziran didn't live well at home, because he said they didn't like him, and wanted to see if he was really better than him.

In the end, it must have been a near-destructive blow to him.

Because this child seems to care about Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan very much, even though his tone is calm, Ning Bai knows the truth is not like this...

He must be very sad now.

Lin Ziran also looked at Ning Bai. To be honest, he neither liked nor disliked Ning Bai. Before, he had to chase him only because of the character design, but now the plot has collapsed, and Ning Bai is still Lu Maofeng And Feng Wan's own son! This is a fact that Lu Xiaodong absolutely cannot accept... If it was Lu Xiaodong, he would feel that the world has collapsed, and he finally knows why he is not loved...

Envy, envy, hate? Not sure, but what Lin Ziran can be sure of is...

Lu Xiaodong would not want to see Ning Bai again.

Lin Ziran shook off Ning Bai's hand, looked at him calmly and indifferently, and said, "Don't touch me."

Ning Bai met the boy's eyes. In these eyes, there was no half of the scorching enthusiasm of the past, nor the slightest cunning and provocation. There was only an unprecedented indifference, as if he was already an irrelevant person in his eyes, not worthy of him. A waste of a look is not worth another word from him...

Just like when I just met him in the bar, when faced with the boy's stalking, he looked at him impatiently and indifferently, but today the scene was completely reversed.

He doesn't like himself anymore.

Or maybe the little liking in the past, the pursuit of admiration in just a dozen days... in the face of such a cruel fact, it is insignificant.

Ning Bai's throat was astringent, his heart was so heavy that he could hardly breathe, he didn't even have time to think about what his emotions were at the moment? Is it pity, pity, regret, or just because I care about him, so I don't want to see him so sad...

He watched the back of the boy leaving resolutely, and continued to chase without hesitation, but suddenly his arm was hugged.

Feng Wan looked at him with tears in his eyes, "Xiaobai, look at mom, leave him alone, okay?"

Ning Bai's jaw was tense, and anger suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Is this your first reaction when something like this happens? Don't you worry about that child, don't you worry that he will have an accident because he can't bear it? !

Feng Wan looked at him pleadingly, "He is just an adopted child, you have to trust mom, no matter what, mom loves you the most, don't worry about him, that kid has always been ignorant and has a temper tantrum. Just be yourself... In Mom's heart, you are the most important, Mom misses you very much, Mom loves you."

like?

You don't deserve to say that word at all!

Ning Bai finally couldn't contain the anger in his heart.

Even if it's not your own, you've raised him for twenty years, he cares about you so much...

But is this how you treat him?

Ning Bai dared not and was unwilling to imagine what kind of life Lu Xiaodong lived at home. Yes, he was rich and had no worries about food and clothing, but what else?

What else does he have?

Twenty years later, you are still such a disappointment.

Ning Bai's chest heaved violently, and he ruthlessly pulled his hand out of Feng Wan's. His eyes were extremely indifferent, and his voice was cool, "Really... It's a pity, I don't remember you anymore."

Feng Wan's face was pale, and she looked at him sadly, heartbroken by Ning Bai's indifference.

She has been looking forward to twenty years, she has been looking for him, and has been fantasizing about the day when they will meet again... But when this day really comes, it is not the kind mother and son filial piety she expected, embracing each other with tears in her eyes. A ruthless stranger who doesn't want to be part of the family.

Don't even want to meet her.

Lu Maofeng is more open-minded. He is not as emotional as a woman. After seeing each other for so many years, no one knows how Ning Bai has lived these years. Does he have a new family? What kind of personality is it now? All of these are unknowns... so it is normal that they cannot get to know each other smoothly.

Lu Maofeng said sincerely, "We understand that you may not be able to accept it all at once, but we can cultivate it slowly..."

Ning Bai's thin lips were slightly parted, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved, "It's not necessary."

Lu Maofeng also looked a little ugly.

Ning Bai looked at them fixedly, and said word by word, "Instead of coming to me, I think you should cherish the people you have now."

After speaking, he turned and left.

………………

Lin Ziran left from there, a little dazed, not knowing where he should go.

He looked at his phone, Ning Bai called him many times, but Lin Ziran didn't answer any of them.

Unexpectedly, Ning Bai has a bit of a conscience. At this time, he is not excited to have an affectionate recognition scene with his biological parents, but he still has time to worry about Lu Xiaodong.

Tsk, after all, Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan didn't call at all, how ridiculous... If it was the real Lu Xiaodong, when he ran away sad and hopeless, the person who really hoped to come to save him would be His parents...

Instead of Ning Bai, this authentic product that is countless times better than him, makes him feel ashamed, makes him such a pathetic authentic product.

But Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan didn't say a word, on the contrary, it was this genuine product whom he should be jealous of and hated, who came to him, worrying about him... The one who should come didn't come, and the one who shouldn't come came instead.

Lin Ziran returned home.

He silently looked around Lu Xiaodong's room, and finally took out the diary from the bedside cabinet.

He only read this diary once when he first came to this world, because the content in it was too depressing, even if he was a normal person, he would feel a little depressed after reading it, and he definitely didn't want to read it a second time after reading it the first time.

But today he suddenly wanted to read it again.

Lin Ziran opened the diary.

Many of the content that was overlooked and ignored when I first watched it, now it seems that all of them are foreshadowing of all this.

The facts are already in the lines.

"Today is my eighteenth birthday. My parents never remember every birthday in the past. I told them... Dad is actually very generous and gives me money every time, but I want to be like my classmates. birthday presents, real items that can be seen and touched... instead of the cold numbers of bank cards, but I know that if I don't say it, no one will remember my birthday this year, so I decided to ask for it, I asked for a Lamborghini, and my dad gave it to me, and it was the only birthday gift I got that I could touch, and I loved it."

"Today is April 22. Every year on this day, my mother is very unhappy. My father will try to coax her patiently, but my mother always ignores my father and scolds him, saying that it is all your fault... I heard them quarreling, but I don't understand the special meaning of this day, why my mother is sad on this day. Whenever I don't dare to appear in front of them at this time..."

"Sometimes I don't quite understand the meaning of my existence. If they don't like me, why did they have me?"

"I was injured playing ball at school today. I deliberately didn't clean up the blood on my clothes, and limped back. Last time, one of my female classmates just scratched a little skin. Her parents were very worried. If I get hurt If I don't, my mother will worry about me... But she got angry again, saying that I am useless, and I don't know how to take care of myself. I think, maybe because I am a boy, I should be stronger, and don't worry about it because of a little injury. Just cry, it will only disappoint them more."

Lin Ziran turned backwards.

"I don't want to let them down, but no matter what I do, they will be disappointed. I don't want to work hard..."

"Work hard."

"I failed the exam today, but it doesn't matter. Dad won't do anything. He won't beat me either. At most, he just scolded me a few times. I'm not afraid at all."

"I don't want to study hard, anyway, what I have is money."

"What will tomorrow be like? I don't know."

nbs "I love them, but I don't know how to make them love me too."

"Did they really love me?"

Lin Ziran sighed, and said to the system, "I should have found out earlier."

The system has nothing to do with the main plot, so it doesn't matter if you don't know it.

Lin Ziran was silent, yes, it was just an insignificant plot of cannon fodder, no one cared at all, but Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan were not worth Lu Xiaodong destroying themselves.

He suddenly became curious. In the original plot, did Lu Xiaodong know this secret?

Probably this is really a mystery.

Lin Ziran put away his diary, and began to complain to the system, "But why Ning Bai is their biological son, this is too ridiculous!"

The scripts of the system game world are all extracted from the work library by Optical Brain, but the script is only the outline of the plot, there are few characters, and the plot is simple. To expand into a complete world, it must be completed. Based on the original plot On the one hand, the character relationship and plot logic are perfected, so various hidden plots are produced.

Lin Ziran was thoughtful.

It is understandable to say this, and this is why this game is so difficult, right?

Because according to the script, in addition to the protagonist Gong Shou, there are also some villains in the world, as well as myself, the affectionate male supporting role, there are only 34 important roles in total, plus other supporting roles with names and surnames, there are usually no more than 10 people, the script There are only 10,000 to 20,000 words.

But with such a small number of people and such a simple plot, it needs a huge amount of data to finally expand into a complete world. Finally, when the world is formed, there are inextricable connections between every NC in this world. relationship, and because of the need to improve the logic of the plot, there are many contents that do not appear in the script—that is, the so-called hidden plot.

According to Lu Xiaodong's behavior and ending in the original plot, Guangnao has completed Lu Xiaodong's settings. The hidden plot is that Lu Xiaodong is not his own, so he will become like this in such a family environment, and finally Being ruthlessly abandoned again makes the world look more perfect and reasonable. The setting that Lu Xiaodong is not his own is not a problem at all, and Lin Ziran can understand it.

But the question is, why did Ning Bai happen to be that biological child?

Is there anything special about Nimbai?

Could it be that Guangnao was really lazy and simply set another protagonist as this hidden character? To save data volume?

Why...it was him.

Lin Ziran couldn't figure it out.

He always felt that things should not be so simple, but he still couldn't think of the necessity of setting Ning Bai as his biological son.

Because it doesn't matter if another passer-by plays the role of this biological son.

Lin Ziran put the diary on the bedside table, then opened the closet and began to pack things.

What are you going to do with the system?

Lin Ziran, I want to run away from home!

system……

Lin Ziran today is Lu Xiaodong's awakening day!

Even if Lu Xiaodong is really cheap, it is impossible to remain indifferent when encountering such a thing, right?

He is not the biological son of his parents, the biological son of his parents is a ruthless scum, his respected eldest brother tried to qj him, but his father would send him out to please his eldest brother, it would be a ghost if he stayed at home!

And in the script, didn't Lu Xiaodong's leg was broken because of arguing with Jiang Xuan? It shows that this child is also a bit rebellious and has a temper. Before, he just boiled the frog in warm water, so he didn't explode.

As the saying goes, if you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence.

Lin Ziran chose to explode.

He started to open the closet to tidy up his clothes. Although Ning Bai helped him choose these clothes, they were bought with his money, so he wouldn't be in trouble with his own money! He casually picked up a few items that he liked, and he didn't have anything else to bring, just his ID, bank card, mobile phone wallet, etc. By the way, there is also a mobile phone charging cable!

After careful inspection, there should be nothing missing, Lin Ziran pulled the box and walked out.

Unfortunately, it happened that Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan came back.

The three of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere was very strange.

In the end, it was Lu Maofeng who spoke first. He looked at Lin Ziran's box and squeezed out a smile, "Xiaodong, where are you going?"

Lin Ziran was silent.

Although he didn't hear much before, Lin Ziran could guess the plot. It should be that Lu Maofeng was sorry for Feng Wan back then, causing Feng Wan to accidentally lose his son. In order to coax his wife to bring a son back to her to raise, For him, Lu Xiaodong is just a tool, so naturally he has no feelings.

But Feng Wan went too far. Although she accepted the child she carried, she only had her own son in her heart. Even if twenty years passed, this substitute would not be able to make up for what she had lost, nor would it be able to make up for the trauma in her heart. , That's why they kept inflicting cold violence on Lu Xiaodong.

This is also the reason why Lu Xiaodong is not liked, and the reason why he was finally given up in the original plot.

Lu Xiaodong tried so hard to get his parents' attention, and tried so hard to help his parents to please Jiang Xuan, but it was useless... In the eyes of Jiang Xuan, he was just an idiot, in the eyes of his parents, he was a waste, and in the eyes of Ning Bai, he was a dude. anyone likes him...

He is indeed not as good as Ning Bai, but not everyone will be so good. Lu Xiaodong is just a child who lacks love. He has worked very hard, but no one takes his efforts seriously, and no one has ever recognized his efforts. .

As an unqualified substitute, what qualifications do you have to expect too much?

But Lin Ziran still wanted to help him ask "Dad, Mom, do you love me?"

Feng Wan's eyes were complicated, but she didn't speak.

Lu Maofeng smiled kindly and said, "Of course Dad loves you."

Lin Ziran thought to himself, Feng Wan is a real person, and he won't answer if he doesn't like it, but Lu Maofeng is hypocritical.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Really? So Dad, you love me, but I forgot to tell you something. Jiang Xuan tried to rape me, so I fell out with him completely. I won't go to him again. His, he's very angry, he thinks I'm ignorant of current affairs, I don't know if he will anger you because of this..."

Lu Maofeng turned pale, and said nervously, "Xiaodong, you..."

Lin Ziran smiled, with a playful expression, "By the way, I'm leaving, you should be happy, right? You can finally get rid of me, even if I die outside, it's none of your business."

Feng Wan pursed her lips, and finally said slowly, "Since you know everything, we have nothing to say, but if you are willing to stay at home, we will not drive you out, you are still our child."

What a compassionate heart, my lord, am I short of this meal!

If you don't drive me away, I will be grateful to Dade?

Do you really think I can't live without you?

Lin Ziran walked past them with his head held high, and said lightly, "No need."

He gets off the elevator.

Those two did not chase them out.

Harm, I know it is so.

Lu Xiaodong is really blind to care about such parents, but after thinking about it, he can't blame Lu Xiaodong for this matter, after all, he thought that these were his parents as long as he could remember, he was just kept in the dark, like everyone else Like ordinary children, I expect the love of my parents.

Lin Ziran thought while walking, although this is a hidden plot set by the optical brain, but it was not revealed in the original plot, why was it revealed this time? Where is it different from the original plot?

Lin Ziran paused, and suddenly thought of the scene where he met Jiang Xuan at the last banquet.

The words he said meaningfully before leaving.

Could it be that Jiang Xuan knew about it at that time?

When he investigated Ning Bai, he discovered Ning Bai's secret, and he used it as his trump card. If Jiang Xuan really did this, then it was really a conspiracy! If Lu Xiaodong knew the truth, he might accept anyone, but he would not accept Ning Bai again.

How shocking is it?

And in the face of such a devastating blow, Jiang Xuan can come out as a big brother to save the beauty, and care for Lu Xiaodong, who is at the bottom of his life.

Amazing……

It's really a ruthless strategy, but he has never thought about whether Lu Xiaodong wants such a result, whether Lu Xiaodong can bear such a blow...he only cares about the result he wants to get.

But these are also my own guesses.

It really doesn't matter what it is.

Lin Ziran sighed and came to the underground garage.

Seeing the man standing in front of his car, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

Lin Ziran frowned and said, "How did you find this place?"

Ning Bai seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, he looked at him with an expression so complicated that it was difficult to describe, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "I asked."

That's right, it couldn't be easier for Ning Bai to know where he lives, he just needs to ask Lu Maofeng where he lives.

Lin Ziran looked indifferent, and said, "Oh, give way."

He stuffed the suitcase into the back seat of the car.

When he turned around, Ning Bai still stood in front of him, his expression seemed a little sad, and he said softly, "I have something to tell you."

Lin Ziran became impatient. If it wasn't for completing the task, who would want to coax you, a picky ghost, all day long? If you still come to stop me at this time, you are asking for trouble!

Lin Ziran raised his eyebrows and smiled, "But I have nothing to tell you."

Ning Bai's face was pale, and he looked at the boy in front of him absent-mindedly.

He originally thought that he could let go and end the relationship peacefully, and he would not be shaken by one person... Even just a day ago, he thought so.

He thought that they would never meet again from now on.

Gradually, you can also forget that moment of heartbeat and go back to the past.

But he never dreamed that the boy would be Lu Maofeng's child. He thought that he hadn't hurt him... but he didn't think that his own existence was the deepest and greatest harm to him.

The attitudes of Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan made Ning Bai dare not think about how painful and desperate the boy was when he decided to leave.

When his heart was so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe, he finally had to admit that he liked this child.

He cares about him.

So I don't want to see him get hurt because of me, I don't want to see him feel sad because of me...

Ning Bai's eyes softened. He was afraid of irritating the boy, so he asked in a soothing voice, "Where are you going?"

Lin Ziran looked at him jokingly, "Where do you care about my going? Besides, what right do you have to meddle in my affairs?"

Ning Bai's eyes were gloomy, but he still maintained restraint and said, "You are my lover, I should care about you..."

Lin Ziran interrupted him before he finished speaking, "What you said was just a stopgap measure, I understand, don't worry, I won't force you to admit this relationship."

Ning Bai pursed his lips, "No..."

Lin Ziran didn't want to go around in circles anymore, he sighed, imitating Ning Bai's tone, and said coolly, "I don't love him."

Ning Bai's complexion changed drastically, and he looked at him in shock.

That day……

Lin Ziran smiled slightly, "I've heard it all, so you don't have to lie to me and pity me just because you feel indebted. I pursue you is my wishful thinking, and you have the right not to respond to me."

The pain in Ning Bai's eyes finally couldn't be suppressed, he said, "It's not pitiful..."

He fixedly looked at Lin Ziran, with complex emotions flashing through his eyes, as if he had finally made a decision, and said slowly, "I like you."

Lin Ziran raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Then this is even more ridiculous. Do you like me as a person, or do you like my obedience, my obedience, my liking for you, and my obedience to you?"

Every time he said a word, Ning Bai's face turned paler.

"You just like the obedient me, what you like is that I become the way you like..." Lin Ziran walked over, pushed him away coldly, and said word by word, "So, don't say you like me anymore, Because - I don't like you anymore."
