Emily's Restoration of Love
Chapter 16
A few years ago, Nolan was a student at MIT
His life is full of joys and sorrows, but the course is smooth, and his computer science professors appreciate this talented and gifted student, although Nolan's questioning of knowledge sometimes gives them a headache, but this will only make them lament that they are blue and blue , but for the course that Nolan may not take a class in a semester, the teacher will not have the chance to meet this student, but Nolan's bright mind (memory) and excellent female relationship (textbook notes) allow him to pass the exam smoothly.
What didn't go well was his friendship. He didn't have many friends. Nolan was handsome and generous. Such advantages would undoubtedly become the two winning points of Nolan's friendship.
However, Nolan has a pair of eyes that can probe the world, and most people with strange minds will bear huge psychological pressure when interacting with him, and they all run away.True, there will be some sincere companions, but he is a man who is too focused on his studies and neglects his friends.As time goes by, when he finds that there are no friends around him, how to maintain friendship has become a problem in his life that is much more difficult than the password program
His best friend in college was Steven Smith, who was working with him on a computer project, and the two were introduced by Professor Anderson.Both of them are talented, and they both have such a careless temper, they are surprisingly compatible, and it is also a rare friendship in his college life
"Steven, here!" Nolan waved to the latecomer, and the two made an appointment to study a certain part together, but saw that Steven, who had always been paralyzed, had a flustered expression today, and his clothes were wrinkled, and he seemed to have never seen it before.This is impossible for the usual Steven
"What's wrong?" Nolan asked him in a low voice
"My brother came to see me, something happened"
"Oh" Nolan's nonchalant attitude obviously relieved Steven
Nolan has doubts, but he is not willing to embarrass Steven. The course of friendship has university questions.
It was late at night, and Nolan didn't want to go back to where he lived, so Steven had to give up half of his room to share with Nolan
In the middle of the night, hurried footsteps sounded in front of Steven's door. Out of Steven's curiosity and hobby, the place where Steven lived was next to a tomb that was said to have ghosts.
Steven reacted much faster than Nolan, opened the door, let someone in, and then quickly closed it, all in one go, and then fell silent, Nolan didn't say a word, turned over and continued to sleep
The next morning, Nolan found a person sleeping next to him, with a cold face, frowning brows, pursed lips, and black hair
/Is that the one who came in yesterday? / Nolan found this man in great shape with great interest, even he was very jealous
"I'm not gay" The man who has been watched for a long time opened his eyes and spit out words that could almost freeze into ice cubes.
"Then why are you sleeping so close to me?" Nolan shot back
"You..." The man would say that he woke up from the cold in the middle of the night and found that the quilt was taken away by Steven, so he had to come and grab Nolan's. . . . . .
I glared at Nolan, I usually cover your quilt~ The man left without looking back, Steven hasn't woken up yet
Nolan put his hands behind his head, lying on the pillow, recalling the appearance and demeanor of this man, a man with the style of a general, a man who has lived above others for a long time
"Nolan?" Steven just woke up leisurely, there was no accident that the man left, and Nolan seemed to be thinking about life
"Hi, handsome guy, good morning." Nolan squinted his eyes and smiled. Nolan's smile was really lethal. Steven blushed and almost threw himself directly. Steven is a gay, purely gay.After seeing him, Nolan said that he had a boyfriend because of Steven
Steven blinked his eyes to show his innocence
The second meeting was in a class at MIT,
Nolan has always been in a state of excitement in Professor Anderson's class. Anderson's professor is about cracking computer cryptography. The attention of students, his class is a kind of enjoyment, an academic world allows everyone to enjoy the charm of computers
Nolan turned his head as always, his mind was full of various codes, his thoughts were concentrated, and there seemed to be an extra person beside him,
Nolan didn't pay attention. After knowing the password in his head, he turned his head to look at it. He was surprised. It turned out that the man he saw at Steven made a strange cry, which attracted Professor Anderson's eyes. Nolan stuck out his tongue and made an apologetic gesture sheepishly.The teacher is very strict with his lover, but at the same time he is extremely tolerant. He glared at Nolan and continued to talk about his password tutorial
"Are you good at computer science?" Seeing the densely packed things in Nolan's notebook, the man was secretly startled and praised
"Thank you for the compliment." Nolan has 100% confidence in his computer and ability, and there is a sense of arrogance in his brows.However, the man then pointed out two mistakes in Nolan's notes, and even came up with a password solution that Nolan didn't quite understand or hadn't understood after learning about a problem Nolan had done, with fewer steps.
"..." Nolan was ashamed
Nolan realizes his arrogance and inadequacy.But in fact, Nolan's erudition also surprised the man. He didn't expect that the Nolan described by Steven really had such a talent. Even those around him who had professionally worked on passwords for more than 20 years did not have such achievements as Nolan.There are some things that cannot be accepted.However, the man has quickly pressed this exclamation to the bottom of his heart.It wasn't until Nolan boarded a pirate ship that he discovered the true nature of this man.At this time, Nolan was still a very young college student.
"You're doing pretty well"
"Thank you." Nolan's attitude was much calmer. He is not a person who speaks big words casually. Now he has a direction that requires more efforts.No matter what, he would surpass this person who went to sleep at someone else's house in the middle of the night. Fighting spirit rose in Nolan's heart.But... I'd say this man can keep Nolan on cryptography...
After class, the man walked towards Professor Anderson. Surrounded by the students, Professor Anderson smiled and answered all the questions. When he saw the man, Nolan clearly noticed that Professor Anderson's hair seemed to rise together with his eyebrows.
Seeing Professor Anderson leaving with the man, Nolan wondered, was this man also a student of Professor Anderson?Then his grades in cryptography explain it.
"Nolan" is Steven
"Steven, what's the relationship between that man and you?"
"Don't you say it's my brother?" Steven paused, pretending to be relaxed and replied
"Tell the truth." Every time Steven told a lie, his right index finger would be clasped on the little finger. Of course, Nolan never mentioned it. Because of Steven's little tricks, Nolan had discovered a lot of little secrets. It's not an exaggeration to be a good friend in secret
"Nolan, I promised Eric" Steven still shook his head
"Okay, so is this Eric a student of Professor Anderson?" Nolan turned to ask his most concerned question
"I don't know about this, but I saw a photo of him with the professor at his place. It looked like he was 20 years old, but he didn't tell me about it." Steven has formed a habit of not asking Eric questions, because Eric won't say either
The author has something to say: the more I write, the more I feel like I'm going to collapse......
Thank you friends who are watching~
☆、The story of Eric and Nolan (2)
On the second day, in a less common place, the school toilet
Nolan didn't expect that he would meet a bloody man covered in blood when he went into the toilet at random. Nolan didn't want to meddle in other business, and wanted to go out to find someone to help him to the hospital but was stopped by this man. From the voice, he found that it was that Eric
Since he was Steven's good friend, Nolan turned around to ask first, but the blood man covered his mouth, and the bloody smell made Nolan almost vomit out, struggling with all his might.
"The blood is someone else's, Nolan, help me avoid the people outside, just 10 minutes, tell Steven, I won't show up lately" heard Eric whispering to him
Nolan didn't know what to do at all, whether it was harboring a prisoner or harboring a prisoner, Eric saw that Nolan had calmed down, so he put his hand down, saw Nolan's flickering eyes, and understood what Nolan was thinking at a glance
"I am not a prisoner, you can understand that I am an undercover agent"
Is that right... Nolan was a little skeptical, but because this person gave Nolan a good impression, and he and Steven might still be an "adulterate couple". If he died, Steven would be so sad. Out of the humanitarianism of a friend, Nolan still chooses to help this guy hide
Although he was thinking about it, he didn't stop the movement of his hands. He quickly cleaned up the blood on his mouth. Seeing that there was nothing dirty on his body, he deliberately rushed out of the toilet vigorously, making noise, and ran extremely fast.Sure enough, he heard footsteps coming up behind him, Nolan didn't dare to turn his head, but ran desperately
It wasn't until there were many people on campus that the voice that followed just now disappeared.Only then did I slow down, as if I was exercising. It's been nearly 15 minutes. Probably there is no problem there.
Afterwards, Nolan didn't see Eric for a long time, and he didn't mention Eric's name again. Nolan also told Steven what Eric had told him to convey, and Steven didn't have any special reaction, but Nolan felt his worry and didn't know what to comfort him, so he had to drag Steven to study the subject together every time.Later, there was no surprising news from the school. Nolan and Steven also lost the news of Eric, and they could only secretly hope that he was ok.
Occasionally, in front of Steven, Nolan would think about this person curiously, and was quickly attracted to the world of computers, and his life was just living in a stable manner.
The mistakes Eric found in his notebook and his password solution at that time really stimulated Nolan. If Nolan used to spend 50% of his energy on learning because of interest, but now, a wave of Competitiveness has always stimulated Nolan, and he spends almost all his time writing programs, cracking programs, developing programs, solving passwords and other things.
It wasn't until Nolan dropped out of school unexpectedly that contact with Steven dwindled.All I know is that after graduation, Steven returned to his home to inherit the family business, and he used all his computer skills to the fullest.
And Nolan, the MIT geek, hopes to make a career on Wall Street on his own.After he dropped out of school and started his own journey to find opportunities in New York, he believed that he had more talents than others.However, everything was not as planned, there were obstacles everywhere, and almost every studio in New York was ridiculed. No one was willing to invest a penny for Nolan's projects, and no one believed that Nolan could make any achievements.
At the same time, because he dropped out of school, he was kicked out of the house by his father. He could only stick to his dream outside. He always believed in his project and everything he did
Later, Nolan defected to his aunt Carol. At that time, David Clark was still the president of the foundation, and Emily was still a little girl living in the hands of her father. At that time, Conrad Grayson and David Clark were still good friends , regardless of whether one of them has a strange heart.At the time, Carroll was secretary to Conrad Grayson, president of Grayson International Group.
Through Aunt Carol, Nolan met David Clark.He didn't expect that after a chance meeting, he found the breakthrough point he had been longing for for a long time. David Clarke was willing to take money from his personal account to let Nolan develop his career.
Knott Enterprises, finally able to truly exist, has developed from a small company with an unknown individual leading the way to the current computer chip company that can be said to be one of the largest computer chip companies on Wall Street with more than a thousand second-hand employees. Nolan, too, has grown from the unappreciated geek who dropped out of school to the confident, sharp-eyed CEO he is now
Those two years were spent in running the company. He didn't want to help those who disappointed him, and wanted to give himself the best answer.Until David Clark was framed and sent to prison, Nolan tried his best to help David Clark, visited many times, and searched for evidence in many places.
Carroll also conducts covert investigations within Grayson International.When he learned that Roger Halstead, the senior accountant of the Grayson Group, had discovered the proof of Conrad's account access to the terrorists, Nolan, who thought everything was going well, learned that David was on his way to prison. Clark's death information.
Nolan couldn't guess the cause of David's death immediately, but the signal of crisis had already started. Nolan quickly notified Aunt Carol to calm down, don't take her bag, and pretend to go for a walk, and finally she was able to save herself from danger.
Also on that day, Eric, who Nolan almost forgot, reappeared in his life in a sudden way
After Nolan successfully assisted Aunt Carol to hide, he faced this unexpected guest when he returned home
"Eric?"
"haven't seen you for a long time"
"Well, are you okay?"
"That time, thank you"
"It's ok"
Then there was silence between the two, Nolan sat on the sofa to relax for a while, then looked at Eric again
"Are you here just to thank you?"
"Help me break a program" expressionless
"what program"
Without much hesitation, Nolan settled the question for Eric, who didn't ask any questions.
Nolan himself is a computer geek who walks on the edge of the law. Besides, from Steven's words, he can probably feel that this man is unusual. It felt like he wouldn't regret helping this guy.
At the same time, of course, Nolan can't beat Eric
Since then, this person has been appearing in his life from time to time, programs, software, codes, computers, Nolan absorbs more knowledge while solving problems.He felt that Eric was an unusual person, but Nolan couldn't find out, and at the same time, he was determined to settle down in this kind of friend relationship
After almost ten years, Amanda finally left the juvenile detention center. As an adult, Amanda owns 49% of Knott Enterprises, which was left to her daughter by David Clarke.
And Nolan has fulfilled all his promises to Amanda. He guards Amanda, from Amanda to Emily, even if he changes his name and image. Nolan is still the messenger by her side, for a lifetime
In the beginning, it was a repayment to the benefactor, but later, this feeling accumulated, precipitated, became deeper, and changed from quantity to quality.
The author has something to say: I am very late today, sorry
By the way, please take a leave of absence for my Monday full of classes tomorrow and the revenge plot that needs to be reviewed again... bow down... continue to apologize
Finally, thank you friends who are still watching
☆、Negotiation between Emily and Eric
Continuing with the plot in the dark room,
Emily said to Eric: "Is that how you evaluate the younger generation you strongly recommended?"
"What do you know?" This girl really has the capital to negotiate, Eric is not too nervous, he trusts Nolan, and will not allow Nolan to bring a person who endangers interests here
"I don't know anything, I just know that you can help me." Emily knew that she had to keep the chip in her hand, and at the same time, she couldn't make people like Eric feel threatened. Eric would not allow such people to exist, and Eric would not indeed have such ability
Eric didn't change from his expression to his tone of voice, as if he didn't see that the hands behind Eric were already on his waist.At the same time, he deliberately ignored Nolan's heavy breathing
"Eric?" The two looked at each other for a long time, but Emily's expression became more and more relaxed.
"Put down the gun." Eric smiled appreciatively. It's rare for someone to keep looking at his eyes like this. Emily's eyes are calm, firm, and clean. Nolan's friends are not ordinary people, and finally he couldn't help but glance at Nolan. Nolan knew in these 2 minutes that Eric was a senior in the SEC, although he didn't know which one.And Emily, how did she know?And, never mentioning it to myself, is it mistrust? Nolan can't help thinking a little bit
Both Emily and Eric noticed Nolan's stiffness, and Eric didn't care too much, because Nolan wouldn't be particularly angry with himself, especially since Emily, the most important person to Nolan, was standing in front of him.Emily, on the other hand, deliberately ignored it, and couldn't explain it clearly. They still have a lot of time to explain.
Eric cast his eyes on Emily, "You are very capable, few people have been able to arouse their blood all these years."
"I don't need them to be so bloody. I just want to change some things"
"whats the matter"
The words "returning people to innocence" are powerful
Yes, for Emily, right now, she wants to do that. Emily believes that the father who told her infinite love when she was a child is true, and also believes that her father is innocent.It was only after his father went to prison that everything changed.The cruelty and framing of David by society and friends, and the obsession and suspicion in David's character were finally aroused. David Clark ignored his once favorite daughter.Watching with cold eyes Emily's bloody hands for revenge, causing countless fish in the pond, wasting many years of youth.
This time, with my blood, I will repay the grace of your birth. There was a trace of sadness in Emily's eyes
Nolan stood behind Emily, a kind of indescribable sadness surrounded Emily, and also left behind the inexplicable sadness of not being trusted just now. Nolan did nothing but stand behind her
Emily resisted the bloody gas rising up in her throat for a moment, and spoke
"Eric, you have one week to investigate me. If you can find out my secret, you win; if you can't..." Emily glanced at the people behind Eric one by one, "You have to agree to one of my requests "
Emily was just sitting, but her eyes froze those people, this woman, there was a kind of evil spirit in her eyes
"Okay" Eric took up the challenge
"Nolan, let's go" Emily stood up, her voice softened
"Goodbye" Eric did not stop, and the people behind gave way
Emily followed Nolan further inside, followed another path and up a long staircase.Until a wall, I don't know where Nolan clicked, the wall moved slowly, and the light came in
"Get out." Nolan took Emily's hand
The wall just moved back to its original position, but the front is a bookshelf, full of books, the contents range from domestic current affairs to world masterpieces, and the forms range from newspapers and magazines to thick classic editions
Emily's hand was about to touch the bookshelf, "Emily" Nolan's hand clenched her hand, the other hand stopped Emily's movement, turned sideways, and leaned close to Emily "What book do you want to read? I'll go back and buy it for you , don’t touch anything in this room, especially the bookshelves”
Nolan's warm breath touched Emily's right ear, and Emily felt her heart beat suddenly, and the edge of her ear was dyed a little red
"Okay, let's go." Emily was almost flustered
"Ems, the door is over there"
"Oh" Emily paused, obviously Nolan's voice was normal, but Emily somehow felt a smile in Nolan's voice
And Nolan, looking at Emily's back, was full of warmth in his heart
After leaving this house, Emily discovered the same layout as the previous cafe, or was it in the cafe?
"This is the third floor of the cafe. Eric built a dark room in this place. The third floor hardly entertains guests. It has always been called the VIP floor, and it is also Eric's secret stronghold."
"Are we going down from here?" That's too ostentatious
"It's okay, Eric should arrange a guide for us"
"This way please, guest." As soon as Nolan's voice fell, the two walked to the corner downstairs, and a waiter dressed up appeared here, and the waiter led the two of them down to the first floor, bowing respectfully
Walked out of the cafe smoothly all the way, "There are a lot of blind spots here," Emily said with a smile
"Yeah, he has some kind of habit." Mentioning Eric, Nolan would think of Eric's hidden identity, he didn't have much emotional damage, he understood.However, Emily's knowledge made him very puzzled
Emily is walking in front, Nolan follows, the direction is not Nolan's house, but Emily's other house
The infinity symbol on the pillars of the porch is still deeply engraved there, the swing in front of the door is swinging, the years seem to have not changed, everything is still beautiful
"Oh! Sam." The two walked up to the porch, only to find the big dog lying on the porch
Emily knelt down and stroked Sam's body, all the tension in her heart eased.Sam narrowed his eyes comfortably, he still seemed to be a little chilly, he didn't know how long he had been here
"Come on." Nolan took off his coat and handed it to Emily to put on Sam
"No, go in." Emily opened the door and led Sam in. Emily has been away from this room for a long time, but seeing this place where her childhood and her complicated feelings for her father were entrusted, she still couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional . Emily sat on the sofa while stroking Sam's fur, feeling a little dazed
"It's going to be stormy outside." Nolan sat next to Emily, Emily leaned sideways and leaned on Nolan's shoulder, and Nolan naturally embraced Emily's shoulder.The two didn't confess their feelings, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding that we are one
"Ems, you've done a great job"
"Um"
The two sat on the sofa for a while, until Emily's cell phone rang
"Hello", Emily sat up and answered the phone in a calm tone
"Jack, I wanted to ask Sam if he went to your place, I can't find it anywhere"
"Yes, it doesn't matter, I'll send it back after the storm is over, you don't have to make a trip." The moment she picked up the phone, Emily changed back to that thoughtful and gentle girl
"Okay, thank you"
"Jack?" Nolan looked at her questioningly, "Well, about Sam" Emily bent down and hugged Sam tenderly, with infinite love
The author has something to say: I still came to update a chapter, thank you for watching, welcome to correct me
Let me say it again, the first season should be the main one involved, there may be some explanations and the second and third seasons have come out, I can only say that I can't bear to watch those two seasons anymore, the end of the first season is over
Good night~
☆、Emily's memories of Eric
The storm hit the windows, causing splashes of water, and the two people + Sam (the dog) who were warming around the fireplace were very quiet.
"Ems, about Eric, I still want to hear an explanation"
"he?"
Emily stared at the warm fireplace, and said as if recalling: "He is a person I met when I was in Allenwood, he seemed to be very interested in my dad's incident, and we talked twice. I thought that person would not disappear so quickly, but it is said that in the second month after that, he died in line of duty."
Allenwood, a maximum security juvenile facility.
Speaking of this, Emily couldn't help laughing, "However, last week, I saw a photo of the two of you on your computer, it was taken in 2008, and the angle was taken from below you. The appearance is not clear enough, but he is very clear. You said that person is a person with good skills and a wide information network. I am basically sure that it is a person, but I am not completely sure now. But I am very surprised why he would Allowing you to leave such a photo, or, he has confidence in your ability to keep secrets or your computer's ability to keep secrets", Emily told this story, like an ordinary memory
"Oh my god" Nolan didn't know how to express his feelings "I never knew, he was the former SEC director?"
"I don't know very well, but he is indeed the senior of the current director McGowan"
"I didn't find anything. It's just that when he was said to have died in the line of duty, someone mentioned it. That person and McGowan were friends who had worked together for a long time. Nolan, how did you meet him?"
"Me and him? It's much simpler than yours"
Nolan was relieved to know that Emily didn't mean to hide anything from him, and talked about their acquaintance process with great interest.
"Steven? Are you sure you don't like him Nolan?" "Oh, no, I don't, Ems, you can't do that." Nolan felt a little helpless when he looked at Emily's playful eyes
"Okay" Emily continued to listen to the story
"Could it be that Steven is someone Eric likes? Or a lover, so are you very sad?"
"Ems" Nolan makes a silent gesture and continues to tell his story
"Afterwards, I didn't hear from him anymore. I saw him again on the day your father went to prison. You don't know that when I came back to see him, my first thought was: How is this person still alive?"
"Hey" knocked on Nolan's hand reproachfully, the smile in Emily's eyes seemed to overflow
Nolan talked about MIT, about the school's teacher Professor Anderson, his good friend Steven, and the gay man who didn't know how long they had been together, and the lover who broke up because Nolan insisted on helping David Clark.It seems to have appeared later, but Nolan will not be with him again, and no one can change what he believes in
In Nolan’s memory, his lips are pursed into a thin slit, and the corners of his lips are raised when he smiles with a little nostalgia and reluctance. His nostalgic eyes wander, as if seeing himself in the past
Emily's thoughts flew to the first meeting with Eric in Paris in her previous life. What she just said to Nolan was basically true, but in fact, at that time, she didn't know Eric's real identity.
The reason I know is the unexpected reunion in the previous life
The nights in Paris are always brightly lit, and when Emily and Nolan enjoy the seemingly rare quiet time together, Eric appears like every time, which makes people caught off guard.
In the bustling street market, there is an open-air barbecue stall. The owner of the shop is a man who is not tall, but he looks quite gentle and handsome. In the chaotic and hot barbecue stall, he quickly calms down, and the spring breeze blows, Gentle and elegant, a unique landscape.For Emily and Nolan, both from the Hamptons, there is always a little more enthusiasm
He speaks without the impetuosity of a businessman. Emily often finds it a kind of enjoyment to listen to him, which makes people's hearts gradually calm down.
But that day, the barbecue stand was facing a bloody battle. This area was indeed lively, but there were usually no gangs or personal fights near the barbecue stand, but that day, there were some accidents
Emily and Nolan heard the hustle and bustle here, and the two who had a good impression of the boss rushed over worriedly and surrounded a group of people
The two gangs with clear boundaries fought with a bit of a gentleman's style. If there was not so much blood on their bodies, there would be more harmony
Seeing the boss standing safely on the other side, both of them felt relieved when they started kicking. It is a rule here that if any property is damaged, you must pay for it. Otherwise, no gang can stay here. No one violated the rules set by the leader of the gang, so he was not worried about the upcoming losses
"I said, can you stop chasing, is it interesting for us to fight like this?" A man who was a little far away from Emily and Nolan was speaking, standing next to the barbecue tools, with a little helplessness in his tone
"I said, if I don't let you go, I won't let you go." A man who was a little closer to them with his back turned stubbornly refused to let go
"Eric?" Nolan asked in a low voice.
"What?" Emily didn't hear clearly and looked back at him,
"It's okay." Nolan shook his head, did not speak, and continued to watch the development of the situation, his eyes had already fallen on the man with his back to them, trying to outline a positive image of him in his mind
"Okay, let's go." The man in the distance seemed to surrender helplessly, and the people on both sides seemed to be relieved, but it was a natural feeling
Do these two people often stage such a scene? No wonder Boss Tomas made mischievous faces at them with an unworried look. Emily shook her head and smiled, a little bit helpless, but also a bit inexplicably envious
The incident here is over, the man who can only see the back turned his head and faced the two people
Even Emily, who has been to many places, has to admit that this man has a face favored by God, with slender brows, big and divine eyes, thin lips, and a faint smile on the corners of his lips. Smile.His gaze passed through the crowd in front of him sharply, and happened to meet Nolan
"Huh?" Emily looked at Nolan, Nolan shook his head, the corners of his lips curled up in helplessness, the surprise and surprise were well hidden
"Hello, nice to meet you." The man's eyes were gentle, completely different from the sharp eyes just now
"I'm not very happy" Nolan shrugged, with a hint of disapproval
"Nolan!" The baby face that was far away rushed over, and the brows were instantly cold
His life is full of joys and sorrows, but the course is smooth, and his computer science professors appreciate this talented and gifted student, although Nolan's questioning of knowledge sometimes gives them a headache, but this will only make them lament that they are blue and blue , but for the course that Nolan may not take a class in a semester, the teacher will not have the chance to meet this student, but Nolan's bright mind (memory) and excellent female relationship (textbook notes) allow him to pass the exam smoothly.
What didn't go well was his friendship. He didn't have many friends. Nolan was handsome and generous. Such advantages would undoubtedly become the two winning points of Nolan's friendship.
However, Nolan has a pair of eyes that can probe the world, and most people with strange minds will bear huge psychological pressure when interacting with him, and they all run away.True, there will be some sincere companions, but he is a man who is too focused on his studies and neglects his friends.As time goes by, when he finds that there are no friends around him, how to maintain friendship has become a problem in his life that is much more difficult than the password program
His best friend in college was Steven Smith, who was working with him on a computer project, and the two were introduced by Professor Anderson.Both of them are talented, and they both have such a careless temper, they are surprisingly compatible, and it is also a rare friendship in his college life
"Steven, here!" Nolan waved to the latecomer, and the two made an appointment to study a certain part together, but saw that Steven, who had always been paralyzed, had a flustered expression today, and his clothes were wrinkled, and he seemed to have never seen it before.This is impossible for the usual Steven
"What's wrong?" Nolan asked him in a low voice
"My brother came to see me, something happened"
"Oh" Nolan's nonchalant attitude obviously relieved Steven
Nolan has doubts, but he is not willing to embarrass Steven. The course of friendship has university questions.
It was late at night, and Nolan didn't want to go back to where he lived, so Steven had to give up half of his room to share with Nolan
In the middle of the night, hurried footsteps sounded in front of Steven's door. Out of Steven's curiosity and hobby, the place where Steven lived was next to a tomb that was said to have ghosts.
Steven reacted much faster than Nolan, opened the door, let someone in, and then quickly closed it, all in one go, and then fell silent, Nolan didn't say a word, turned over and continued to sleep
The next morning, Nolan found a person sleeping next to him, with a cold face, frowning brows, pursed lips, and black hair
/Is that the one who came in yesterday? / Nolan found this man in great shape with great interest, even he was very jealous
"I'm not gay" The man who has been watched for a long time opened his eyes and spit out words that could almost freeze into ice cubes.
"Then why are you sleeping so close to me?" Nolan shot back
"You..." The man would say that he woke up from the cold in the middle of the night and found that the quilt was taken away by Steven, so he had to come and grab Nolan's. . . . . .
I glared at Nolan, I usually cover your quilt~ The man left without looking back, Steven hasn't woken up yet
Nolan put his hands behind his head, lying on the pillow, recalling the appearance and demeanor of this man, a man with the style of a general, a man who has lived above others for a long time
"Nolan?" Steven just woke up leisurely, there was no accident that the man left, and Nolan seemed to be thinking about life
"Hi, handsome guy, good morning." Nolan squinted his eyes and smiled. Nolan's smile was really lethal. Steven blushed and almost threw himself directly. Steven is a gay, purely gay.After seeing him, Nolan said that he had a boyfriend because of Steven
Steven blinked his eyes to show his innocence
The second meeting was in a class at MIT,
Nolan has always been in a state of excitement in Professor Anderson's class. Anderson's professor is about cracking computer cryptography. The attention of students, his class is a kind of enjoyment, an academic world allows everyone to enjoy the charm of computers
Nolan turned his head as always, his mind was full of various codes, his thoughts were concentrated, and there seemed to be an extra person beside him,
Nolan didn't pay attention. After knowing the password in his head, he turned his head to look at it. He was surprised. It turned out that the man he saw at Steven made a strange cry, which attracted Professor Anderson's eyes. Nolan stuck out his tongue and made an apologetic gesture sheepishly.The teacher is very strict with his lover, but at the same time he is extremely tolerant. He glared at Nolan and continued to talk about his password tutorial
"Are you good at computer science?" Seeing the densely packed things in Nolan's notebook, the man was secretly startled and praised
"Thank you for the compliment." Nolan has 100% confidence in his computer and ability, and there is a sense of arrogance in his brows.However, the man then pointed out two mistakes in Nolan's notes, and even came up with a password solution that Nolan didn't quite understand or hadn't understood after learning about a problem Nolan had done, with fewer steps.
"..." Nolan was ashamed
Nolan realizes his arrogance and inadequacy.But in fact, Nolan's erudition also surprised the man. He didn't expect that the Nolan described by Steven really had such a talent. Even those around him who had professionally worked on passwords for more than 20 years did not have such achievements as Nolan.There are some things that cannot be accepted.However, the man has quickly pressed this exclamation to the bottom of his heart.It wasn't until Nolan boarded a pirate ship that he discovered the true nature of this man.At this time, Nolan was still a very young college student.
"You're doing pretty well"
"Thank you." Nolan's attitude was much calmer. He is not a person who speaks big words casually. Now he has a direction that requires more efforts.No matter what, he would surpass this person who went to sleep at someone else's house in the middle of the night. Fighting spirit rose in Nolan's heart.But... I'd say this man can keep Nolan on cryptography...
After class, the man walked towards Professor Anderson. Surrounded by the students, Professor Anderson smiled and answered all the questions. When he saw the man, Nolan clearly noticed that Professor Anderson's hair seemed to rise together with his eyebrows.
Seeing Professor Anderson leaving with the man, Nolan wondered, was this man also a student of Professor Anderson?Then his grades in cryptography explain it.
"Nolan" is Steven
"Steven, what's the relationship between that man and you?"
"Don't you say it's my brother?" Steven paused, pretending to be relaxed and replied
"Tell the truth." Every time Steven told a lie, his right index finger would be clasped on the little finger. Of course, Nolan never mentioned it. Because of Steven's little tricks, Nolan had discovered a lot of little secrets. It's not an exaggeration to be a good friend in secret
"Nolan, I promised Eric" Steven still shook his head
"Okay, so is this Eric a student of Professor Anderson?" Nolan turned to ask his most concerned question
"I don't know about this, but I saw a photo of him with the professor at his place. It looked like he was 20 years old, but he didn't tell me about it." Steven has formed a habit of not asking Eric questions, because Eric won't say either
The author has something to say: the more I write, the more I feel like I'm going to collapse......
Thank you friends who are watching~
☆、The story of Eric and Nolan (2)
On the second day, in a less common place, the school toilet
Nolan didn't expect that he would meet a bloody man covered in blood when he went into the toilet at random. Nolan didn't want to meddle in other business, and wanted to go out to find someone to help him to the hospital but was stopped by this man. From the voice, he found that it was that Eric
Since he was Steven's good friend, Nolan turned around to ask first, but the blood man covered his mouth, and the bloody smell made Nolan almost vomit out, struggling with all his might.
"The blood is someone else's, Nolan, help me avoid the people outside, just 10 minutes, tell Steven, I won't show up lately" heard Eric whispering to him
Nolan didn't know what to do at all, whether it was harboring a prisoner or harboring a prisoner, Eric saw that Nolan had calmed down, so he put his hand down, saw Nolan's flickering eyes, and understood what Nolan was thinking at a glance
"I am not a prisoner, you can understand that I am an undercover agent"
Is that right... Nolan was a little skeptical, but because this person gave Nolan a good impression, and he and Steven might still be an "adulterate couple". If he died, Steven would be so sad. Out of the humanitarianism of a friend, Nolan still chooses to help this guy hide
Although he was thinking about it, he didn't stop the movement of his hands. He quickly cleaned up the blood on his mouth. Seeing that there was nothing dirty on his body, he deliberately rushed out of the toilet vigorously, making noise, and ran extremely fast.Sure enough, he heard footsteps coming up behind him, Nolan didn't dare to turn his head, but ran desperately
It wasn't until there were many people on campus that the voice that followed just now disappeared.Only then did I slow down, as if I was exercising. It's been nearly 15 minutes. Probably there is no problem there.
Afterwards, Nolan didn't see Eric for a long time, and he didn't mention Eric's name again. Nolan also told Steven what Eric had told him to convey, and Steven didn't have any special reaction, but Nolan felt his worry and didn't know what to comfort him, so he had to drag Steven to study the subject together every time.Later, there was no surprising news from the school. Nolan and Steven also lost the news of Eric, and they could only secretly hope that he was ok.
Occasionally, in front of Steven, Nolan would think about this person curiously, and was quickly attracted to the world of computers, and his life was just living in a stable manner.
The mistakes Eric found in his notebook and his password solution at that time really stimulated Nolan. If Nolan used to spend 50% of his energy on learning because of interest, but now, a wave of Competitiveness has always stimulated Nolan, and he spends almost all his time writing programs, cracking programs, developing programs, solving passwords and other things.
It wasn't until Nolan dropped out of school unexpectedly that contact with Steven dwindled.All I know is that after graduation, Steven returned to his home to inherit the family business, and he used all his computer skills to the fullest.
And Nolan, the MIT geek, hopes to make a career on Wall Street on his own.After he dropped out of school and started his own journey to find opportunities in New York, he believed that he had more talents than others.However, everything was not as planned, there were obstacles everywhere, and almost every studio in New York was ridiculed. No one was willing to invest a penny for Nolan's projects, and no one believed that Nolan could make any achievements.
At the same time, because he dropped out of school, he was kicked out of the house by his father. He could only stick to his dream outside. He always believed in his project and everything he did
Later, Nolan defected to his aunt Carol. At that time, David Clark was still the president of the foundation, and Emily was still a little girl living in the hands of her father. At that time, Conrad Grayson and David Clark were still good friends , regardless of whether one of them has a strange heart.At the time, Carroll was secretary to Conrad Grayson, president of Grayson International Group.
Through Aunt Carol, Nolan met David Clark.He didn't expect that after a chance meeting, he found the breakthrough point he had been longing for for a long time. David Clarke was willing to take money from his personal account to let Nolan develop his career.
Knott Enterprises, finally able to truly exist, has developed from a small company with an unknown individual leading the way to the current computer chip company that can be said to be one of the largest computer chip companies on Wall Street with more than a thousand second-hand employees. Nolan, too, has grown from the unappreciated geek who dropped out of school to the confident, sharp-eyed CEO he is now
Those two years were spent in running the company. He didn't want to help those who disappointed him, and wanted to give himself the best answer.Until David Clark was framed and sent to prison, Nolan tried his best to help David Clark, visited many times, and searched for evidence in many places.
Carroll also conducts covert investigations within Grayson International.When he learned that Roger Halstead, the senior accountant of the Grayson Group, had discovered the proof of Conrad's account access to the terrorists, Nolan, who thought everything was going well, learned that David was on his way to prison. Clark's death information.
Nolan couldn't guess the cause of David's death immediately, but the signal of crisis had already started. Nolan quickly notified Aunt Carol to calm down, don't take her bag, and pretend to go for a walk, and finally she was able to save herself from danger.
Also on that day, Eric, who Nolan almost forgot, reappeared in his life in a sudden way
After Nolan successfully assisted Aunt Carol to hide, he faced this unexpected guest when he returned home
"Eric?"
"haven't seen you for a long time"
"Well, are you okay?"
"That time, thank you"
"It's ok"
Then there was silence between the two, Nolan sat on the sofa to relax for a while, then looked at Eric again
"Are you here just to thank you?"
"Help me break a program" expressionless
"what program"
Without much hesitation, Nolan settled the question for Eric, who didn't ask any questions.
Nolan himself is a computer geek who walks on the edge of the law. Besides, from Steven's words, he can probably feel that this man is unusual. It felt like he wouldn't regret helping this guy.
At the same time, of course, Nolan can't beat Eric
Since then, this person has been appearing in his life from time to time, programs, software, codes, computers, Nolan absorbs more knowledge while solving problems.He felt that Eric was an unusual person, but Nolan couldn't find out, and at the same time, he was determined to settle down in this kind of friend relationship
After almost ten years, Amanda finally left the juvenile detention center. As an adult, Amanda owns 49% of Knott Enterprises, which was left to her daughter by David Clarke.
And Nolan has fulfilled all his promises to Amanda. He guards Amanda, from Amanda to Emily, even if he changes his name and image. Nolan is still the messenger by her side, for a lifetime
In the beginning, it was a repayment to the benefactor, but later, this feeling accumulated, precipitated, became deeper, and changed from quantity to quality.
The author has something to say: I am very late today, sorry
By the way, please take a leave of absence for my Monday full of classes tomorrow and the revenge plot that needs to be reviewed again... bow down... continue to apologize
Finally, thank you friends who are still watching
☆、Negotiation between Emily and Eric
Continuing with the plot in the dark room,
Emily said to Eric: "Is that how you evaluate the younger generation you strongly recommended?"
"What do you know?" This girl really has the capital to negotiate, Eric is not too nervous, he trusts Nolan, and will not allow Nolan to bring a person who endangers interests here
"I don't know anything, I just know that you can help me." Emily knew that she had to keep the chip in her hand, and at the same time, she couldn't make people like Eric feel threatened. Eric would not allow such people to exist, and Eric would not indeed have such ability
Eric didn't change from his expression to his tone of voice, as if he didn't see that the hands behind Eric were already on his waist.At the same time, he deliberately ignored Nolan's heavy breathing
"Eric?" The two looked at each other for a long time, but Emily's expression became more and more relaxed.
"Put down the gun." Eric smiled appreciatively. It's rare for someone to keep looking at his eyes like this. Emily's eyes are calm, firm, and clean. Nolan's friends are not ordinary people, and finally he couldn't help but glance at Nolan. Nolan knew in these 2 minutes that Eric was a senior in the SEC, although he didn't know which one.And Emily, how did she know?And, never mentioning it to myself, is it mistrust? Nolan can't help thinking a little bit
Both Emily and Eric noticed Nolan's stiffness, and Eric didn't care too much, because Nolan wouldn't be particularly angry with himself, especially since Emily, the most important person to Nolan, was standing in front of him.Emily, on the other hand, deliberately ignored it, and couldn't explain it clearly. They still have a lot of time to explain.
Eric cast his eyes on Emily, "You are very capable, few people have been able to arouse their blood all these years."
"I don't need them to be so bloody. I just want to change some things"
"whats the matter"
The words "returning people to innocence" are powerful
Yes, for Emily, right now, she wants to do that. Emily believes that the father who told her infinite love when she was a child is true, and also believes that her father is innocent.It was only after his father went to prison that everything changed.The cruelty and framing of David by society and friends, and the obsession and suspicion in David's character were finally aroused. David Clark ignored his once favorite daughter.Watching with cold eyes Emily's bloody hands for revenge, causing countless fish in the pond, wasting many years of youth.
This time, with my blood, I will repay the grace of your birth. There was a trace of sadness in Emily's eyes
Nolan stood behind Emily, a kind of indescribable sadness surrounded Emily, and also left behind the inexplicable sadness of not being trusted just now. Nolan did nothing but stand behind her
Emily resisted the bloody gas rising up in her throat for a moment, and spoke
"Eric, you have one week to investigate me. If you can find out my secret, you win; if you can't..." Emily glanced at the people behind Eric one by one, "You have to agree to one of my requests "
Emily was just sitting, but her eyes froze those people, this woman, there was a kind of evil spirit in her eyes
"Okay" Eric took up the challenge
"Nolan, let's go" Emily stood up, her voice softened
"Goodbye" Eric did not stop, and the people behind gave way
Emily followed Nolan further inside, followed another path and up a long staircase.Until a wall, I don't know where Nolan clicked, the wall moved slowly, and the light came in
"Get out." Nolan took Emily's hand
The wall just moved back to its original position, but the front is a bookshelf, full of books, the contents range from domestic current affairs to world masterpieces, and the forms range from newspapers and magazines to thick classic editions
Emily's hand was about to touch the bookshelf, "Emily" Nolan's hand clenched her hand, the other hand stopped Emily's movement, turned sideways, and leaned close to Emily "What book do you want to read? I'll go back and buy it for you , don’t touch anything in this room, especially the bookshelves”
Nolan's warm breath touched Emily's right ear, and Emily felt her heart beat suddenly, and the edge of her ear was dyed a little red
"Okay, let's go." Emily was almost flustered
"Ems, the door is over there"
"Oh" Emily paused, obviously Nolan's voice was normal, but Emily somehow felt a smile in Nolan's voice
And Nolan, looking at Emily's back, was full of warmth in his heart
After leaving this house, Emily discovered the same layout as the previous cafe, or was it in the cafe?
"This is the third floor of the cafe. Eric built a dark room in this place. The third floor hardly entertains guests. It has always been called the VIP floor, and it is also Eric's secret stronghold."
"Are we going down from here?" That's too ostentatious
"It's okay, Eric should arrange a guide for us"
"This way please, guest." As soon as Nolan's voice fell, the two walked to the corner downstairs, and a waiter dressed up appeared here, and the waiter led the two of them down to the first floor, bowing respectfully
Walked out of the cafe smoothly all the way, "There are a lot of blind spots here," Emily said with a smile
"Yeah, he has some kind of habit." Mentioning Eric, Nolan would think of Eric's hidden identity, he didn't have much emotional damage, he understood.However, Emily's knowledge made him very puzzled
Emily is walking in front, Nolan follows, the direction is not Nolan's house, but Emily's other house
The infinity symbol on the pillars of the porch is still deeply engraved there, the swing in front of the door is swinging, the years seem to have not changed, everything is still beautiful
"Oh! Sam." The two walked up to the porch, only to find the big dog lying on the porch
Emily knelt down and stroked Sam's body, all the tension in her heart eased.Sam narrowed his eyes comfortably, he still seemed to be a little chilly, he didn't know how long he had been here
"Come on." Nolan took off his coat and handed it to Emily to put on Sam
"No, go in." Emily opened the door and led Sam in. Emily has been away from this room for a long time, but seeing this place where her childhood and her complicated feelings for her father were entrusted, she still couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional . Emily sat on the sofa while stroking Sam's fur, feeling a little dazed
"It's going to be stormy outside." Nolan sat next to Emily, Emily leaned sideways and leaned on Nolan's shoulder, and Nolan naturally embraced Emily's shoulder.The two didn't confess their feelings, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding that we are one
"Ems, you've done a great job"
"Um"
The two sat on the sofa for a while, until Emily's cell phone rang
"Hello", Emily sat up and answered the phone in a calm tone
"Jack, I wanted to ask Sam if he went to your place, I can't find it anywhere"
"Yes, it doesn't matter, I'll send it back after the storm is over, you don't have to make a trip." The moment she picked up the phone, Emily changed back to that thoughtful and gentle girl
"Okay, thank you"
"Jack?" Nolan looked at her questioningly, "Well, about Sam" Emily bent down and hugged Sam tenderly, with infinite love
The author has something to say: I still came to update a chapter, thank you for watching, welcome to correct me
Let me say it again, the first season should be the main one involved, there may be some explanations and the second and third seasons have come out, I can only say that I can't bear to watch those two seasons anymore, the end of the first season is over
Good night~
☆、Emily's memories of Eric
The storm hit the windows, causing splashes of water, and the two people + Sam (the dog) who were warming around the fireplace were very quiet.
"Ems, about Eric, I still want to hear an explanation"
"he?"
Emily stared at the warm fireplace, and said as if recalling: "He is a person I met when I was in Allenwood, he seemed to be very interested in my dad's incident, and we talked twice. I thought that person would not disappear so quickly, but it is said that in the second month after that, he died in line of duty."
Allenwood, a maximum security juvenile facility.
Speaking of this, Emily couldn't help laughing, "However, last week, I saw a photo of the two of you on your computer, it was taken in 2008, and the angle was taken from below you. The appearance is not clear enough, but he is very clear. You said that person is a person with good skills and a wide information network. I am basically sure that it is a person, but I am not completely sure now. But I am very surprised why he would Allowing you to leave such a photo, or, he has confidence in your ability to keep secrets or your computer's ability to keep secrets", Emily told this story, like an ordinary memory
"Oh my god" Nolan didn't know how to express his feelings "I never knew, he was the former SEC director?"
"I don't know very well, but he is indeed the senior of the current director McGowan"
"I didn't find anything. It's just that when he was said to have died in the line of duty, someone mentioned it. That person and McGowan were friends who had worked together for a long time. Nolan, how did you meet him?"
"Me and him? It's much simpler than yours"
Nolan was relieved to know that Emily didn't mean to hide anything from him, and talked about their acquaintance process with great interest.
"Steven? Are you sure you don't like him Nolan?" "Oh, no, I don't, Ems, you can't do that." Nolan felt a little helpless when he looked at Emily's playful eyes
"Okay" Emily continued to listen to the story
"Could it be that Steven is someone Eric likes? Or a lover, so are you very sad?"
"Ems" Nolan makes a silent gesture and continues to tell his story
"Afterwards, I didn't hear from him anymore. I saw him again on the day your father went to prison. You don't know that when I came back to see him, my first thought was: How is this person still alive?"
"Hey" knocked on Nolan's hand reproachfully, the smile in Emily's eyes seemed to overflow
Nolan talked about MIT, about the school's teacher Professor Anderson, his good friend Steven, and the gay man who didn't know how long they had been together, and the lover who broke up because Nolan insisted on helping David Clark.It seems to have appeared later, but Nolan will not be with him again, and no one can change what he believes in
In Nolan’s memory, his lips are pursed into a thin slit, and the corners of his lips are raised when he smiles with a little nostalgia and reluctance. His nostalgic eyes wander, as if seeing himself in the past
Emily's thoughts flew to the first meeting with Eric in Paris in her previous life. What she just said to Nolan was basically true, but in fact, at that time, she didn't know Eric's real identity.
The reason I know is the unexpected reunion in the previous life
The nights in Paris are always brightly lit, and when Emily and Nolan enjoy the seemingly rare quiet time together, Eric appears like every time, which makes people caught off guard.
In the bustling street market, there is an open-air barbecue stall. The owner of the shop is a man who is not tall, but he looks quite gentle and handsome. In the chaotic and hot barbecue stall, he quickly calms down, and the spring breeze blows, Gentle and elegant, a unique landscape.For Emily and Nolan, both from the Hamptons, there is always a little more enthusiasm
He speaks without the impetuosity of a businessman. Emily often finds it a kind of enjoyment to listen to him, which makes people's hearts gradually calm down.
But that day, the barbecue stand was facing a bloody battle. This area was indeed lively, but there were usually no gangs or personal fights near the barbecue stand, but that day, there were some accidents
Emily and Nolan heard the hustle and bustle here, and the two who had a good impression of the boss rushed over worriedly and surrounded a group of people
The two gangs with clear boundaries fought with a bit of a gentleman's style. If there was not so much blood on their bodies, there would be more harmony
Seeing the boss standing safely on the other side, both of them felt relieved when they started kicking. It is a rule here that if any property is damaged, you must pay for it. Otherwise, no gang can stay here. No one violated the rules set by the leader of the gang, so he was not worried about the upcoming losses
"I said, can you stop chasing, is it interesting for us to fight like this?" A man who was a little far away from Emily and Nolan was speaking, standing next to the barbecue tools, with a little helplessness in his tone
"I said, if I don't let you go, I won't let you go." A man who was a little closer to them with his back turned stubbornly refused to let go
"Eric?" Nolan asked in a low voice.
"What?" Emily didn't hear clearly and looked back at him,
"It's okay." Nolan shook his head, did not speak, and continued to watch the development of the situation, his eyes had already fallen on the man with his back to them, trying to outline a positive image of him in his mind
"Okay, let's go." The man in the distance seemed to surrender helplessly, and the people on both sides seemed to be relieved, but it was a natural feeling
Do these two people often stage such a scene? No wonder Boss Tomas made mischievous faces at them with an unworried look. Emily shook her head and smiled, a little bit helpless, but also a bit inexplicably envious
The incident here is over, the man who can only see the back turned his head and faced the two people
Even Emily, who has been to many places, has to admit that this man has a face favored by God, with slender brows, big and divine eyes, thin lips, and a faint smile on the corners of his lips. Smile.His gaze passed through the crowd in front of him sharply, and happened to meet Nolan
"Huh?" Emily looked at Nolan, Nolan shook his head, the corners of his lips curled up in helplessness, the surprise and surprise were well hidden
"Hello, nice to meet you." The man's eyes were gentle, completely different from the sharp eyes just now
"I'm not very happy" Nolan shrugged, with a hint of disapproval
"Nolan!" The baby face that was far away rushed over, and the brows were instantly cold
