"Shao Rong, I am not your biological father."

Such a calm narration made Shao Rong freeze in place.

--What is he saying?

Why can I hear every word clearly, but my brain can't accept the coherent meaning of the words at all?

Shao Rong stared blankly at the man in front of him.

Feeling anxious for the whole afternoon...I went home with complete mental preparations, but what I heard was completely beyond the range I could accept...Looking at his dark eyes, looking at the calmness on his handsome face Shao Rong suddenly felt that his throat was blocked by something, and his chest was so stuffy and painful.

The calm statement of the person in front of me echoed repeatedly in my ears: Shao Rong, I am not your biological father.

--How is this possible? !

The person who has always cared about and loved herself so much since childhood; the person who rushed to the hospital and hugged herself softly after her mother passed away and said, with my father here, I will not let you suffer any grievances in the future; A person who buys what he needs in time; a person who will walk into the bedroom in the middle of the night and gently cover himself with a quilt no matter how busy he is at work...

How could he not be his biological father? !

Shao Rong couldn't accept such an unthinkable thing at all.

In his heart, the person in front of him is not only his biological father.

Still the best dad in the world.

"Father, you must have made a mistake." Shao Rong avoided his gaze, turned his head stubbornly, and said in a cold tone, "If I have made any mistakes, please point them out directly. Scold me, even hit me. I'm fine with a meal... Please don't, please don't joke about not being my real father!"

After many children make mistakes, their parents will say things like "I picked you up" to stimulate them.

Shao Rong secretly hoped that his father said this because he was angry...

Although he knew that the possibility was almost zero, he still... refused to accept such a cruel fact.

"Shao Rong." Shao Changgeng sighed softly, "I won't joke with you about such a serious matter."

The last hope was ruthlessly shattered.

Shao Rong stared blankly at the floor, his head was buzzing and it was in a mess.

He remembered that when he was very young, his father was still in England, and he and his mother lived in that villa in the suburbs. Every day, he secretly looked forward to his father's return from the bottom of his heart. Every time his father came back, he would jump over happily , because Dad's embrace always brings him a feeling of peace of mind and warmth.

That is the purest desire and expectation for family affection in a child's heart.

Later, when his mother passed away, he and his father depended on each other for life. Children from single-parent families always have 50.00% lack of family affection, but Shao Rong never felt sad.

Although he lost his mother, he still has his father.

——He has the best dad in his mind.

However, now, the person he has called his father for 16 years, the person he regards as his closest relative, suddenly announced with a calm face: I am not your father, as calm as a judge announcing a death sentence.

This is simply a kind of irony!

——You are not my father, so who is my father?

——For so many years, the so-called biological father who has never appeared before, who is completely indifferent to his mother and himself... Who is it?

It's like the big tree that I have been relying on since I was a child suddenly collapsed, and the whole world feels turned upside down...

I feel more sad than when my mother passed away...

There is even a feeling of being betrayed by the person closest to me...

"I...I want to be quiet." Shao Rong stood up, turned and walked to the bedroom.

As soon as he took a step, he was suddenly embraced by a pair of arms.

"Shao Rong..."

Familiar embrace, familiar warmth, familiar voice, familiar reassuring breath...

The simple two words made Shao Rong's eyes instantly filled with mist.

"Father..." Finally, unable to bear the blow like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, hot tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes. Shao Rong buried his face deeply in Shao Changgeng's chest, stretched out his hands and tightly grasped his shirt.

——Like a drowning person embracing the only life-saving straw, with pale fingers, with unbelievable despair, the neat shirt was caught with terrible creases, Shao Rong's fingers were so hard that he even crumpled the clothes into pieces .

Because only in this way can he relieve the feeling of colic in his heart a little bit.

"How is this possible... Dad... how is it possible..."

"Mom has passed away a long time ago, aren't you my... dearest person?"

"If, if you are not even my father, then I, I have no relatives in this world..."

The teenager curled up in his arms, trembling slightly like an animal being stimulated, tears gushed out of his moist eyes, and soon soaked the shirt on his chest.

Shao Changgeng hugged him distressedly, stretched out his hand to comfort him, and gently stroked his hair.

"Shao Rong, don't be sad."

——How could you not be sad?

The belief of more than ten years was suddenly and completely shattered!

If it were anyone, would it be sad to learn that the father he respects the most is not his own?

After an unknown amount of time, Shao Rong finally calmed down a little under the comfort of Shao Changgeng stroking his back, looked up at Shao Changgeng and said, "Why did you suddenly tell me the truth?"

"You have grown up, and I don't want to keep it a secret."

Although I was puzzled by such a reason, I couldn't find any obvious loopholes.After a moment of silence, Shao Rong asked: "Then... who is my biological father?"

"His name is Su Zihang. He was a policeman. Before you were born, he died in the line of duty."

Shao Changgeng put down a photo on the table, which was Su Zihang's college graduation photo in the information investigated by Lin Xuan.Unavoidable that Shao Rong was overly stimulated, Shao Changgeng deliberately changed Su Zihang's complicated undercover career and cause of death into a very simple overview.

Shao Rong looked at the man in the profile who looked exactly like himself, and his brief introduction.

Coming from a criminal police family, excellent performance in the police academy, being an undercover agent for three years, and being shot to death...

The fists beside him could not help but clenched lightly.

——Su Zihang, three words, completely unfamiliar vocabulary.

But he has the closest blood relationship with himself.

Mom never… never mentioned his name.

The man who gave him half his life, called the father, died before he was born?

So, in fact, my father and mother are dead.

And in front of him... the man who has been called Dad for more than ten years is just... an adoptive father who adopted orphans without father and mother.

"Shao Rong." Seeing Shao Rong's pale face, Shao Changgeng softened his tone with distress, "Although I am not your biological father, the relationship between us for more than ten years is not fake, and you can continue to stay with me in the future." By my side, okay?"

Shao Rong didn't nod obediently as usual.

Because, he suddenly felt that the man in front of him seemed a little strange.

He was able to hide such a big secret for so many years without making a fuss. Did he also hide something else?What else can't he hide?

In front of him, he has absolutely no ability to resist.The way of getting along for so many years is almost a single obedience.He listened to whatever he said, and he didn't even have the freedom to choose a school.

In the past, he always felt that his strict control over himself was due to his character. Now that he knew the truth, a strange fear suddenly arose in Shao Rong's heart...

"I'm going to the bedroom first." Shao Rong avoided his sight and turned to go to the bedroom.

Because of panic, he walked in the wrong direction, pushed the door of Dad's bedroom with the wrong hand, and was about to close it in embarrassment. When he raised his head, he suddenly froze in place.

Shao Rong rubbed his eyes in disbelief, took a step back, and took a closer look.

A cold feeling quickly climbed up the spine.

In the bedroom, on the opposite wall, next to the four characters of "One World Peace", there is a beautifully shaped clock.

At this moment, the hands of the clock actually pointed to two o'clock in the afternoon.

School ends at 05:30 in the afternoon, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk home. Including the conversation just now, the current time should be six in the afternoon.

Why is the clock on the wall only two o'clock?

The expression on Shao Rong's face became distorted because of the pain.

"Are you sure it was twelve o'clock?"

The police officer's cold, temperatureless voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"No matter what case you are investigating, I'm sure, my dad was with me last night!"

At that time, I answered so firmly.

However, based on his trust in his father and unconscious protection, the so-called definite answer came from this... the clock whose time has been adjusted?

Shao Rong turned his head, with unbelievable pain in his clear eyes.

"...can you tell me why the clock in your bedroom is four hours behind?"

Shao Changgeng suddenly looked up at him.

"Isn't that clock always on time? I often use it to check the time on my cell phone..." Shao Rong's voice trembled slightly, trying his best to control his emotions.

Perhaps it was the intuition inherited from generations of policemen in the Su family, Shao Rong immediately connected the crux of the matter from the wrong time.

"When I woke up last night, it was not twelve o'clock, but four o'clock in the morning."

Because he was so angry, even his lips trembled slightly when he spoke, "So, in fact, for four hours, I don't know where you went. I don't even know... what you did."

Shao Changgeng raised his eyebrows, but did not give a reply.

"When the police were investigating the case, you deliberately asked him to call me, and asked me to give you the answer you wanted for the purpose of protecting you when I was worried about you."

"You want me to be your time witness."

"You...use me, right?"

Shao Rong quickly came to a conclusion.

Because of the sadness in his heart, his fists were clenched tightly by his side, his nails pierced deeply into his palms, his shoulders trembled slightly, the red corners of his eyes and pale lips showed the intense emotion of the master on the verge of collapse.

I can't even describe how worried I was about him.

After receiving the call from the police, my heart was full of fear that something might have happened to my father, and my face was as pale as sitting on pins and needles in the classroom. When the teacher on the podium found out, he woke up and answered questions that were not what he asked, which made the whole class burst into laughter...

I have never been so ashamed in front of my classmates.

Immediately after class, I asked the class teacher for leave, ran to the hospital like crazy, and almost ran a red light when crossing the road.

The moment I saw him in the hospital, I was finally relieved and let out a long sigh of relief because "Dad is fine".

——But what about the truth?

The truth is, he had planned to turn the clock back.

The truth is, he was using his time as a witness to deal with the police.

It is impossible for him to have anything wrong, because he has already made up his mind about all this, and he is just a move for him.

He handles everything with ease.

But I rushed to the hospital to see him like a lunatic, and even almost quarreled with the policeman because of the suspicious questioning of the police...

Pretty silly, right?

He didn't think about it because he cared about him, and he wanted to protect his own self.

It's hopelessly stupid.

"How can you... take advantage of my concern and trust in you? Dad..."

Shao Rong looked up at him, his dark eyes filled with pain.

"Can I still... call you Dad?"
