Chapter 243 Lying?
"One day, when he came back from the toilet during class, his classmates accused him of stealing money. Someone even found someone else's wallet in his drawer."
"No one came forward to testify for him, so the school called the parents and his grandfather showed up."
"In front of the teachers, his grandfather slapped him hard and said that no matter how poor he was, he couldn't steal other people's money!"
[This grandfather's behavior is so chilling! ]
[How could such a good boy not be trusted?!]
[How foolish! Doesn't his grandfather know the nature of the child who grew up next to him?]
【I suddenly hate that grandpa! 】
…
For a moment, netizens couldn't help but speak up for the boy in the live broadcast room.
"I don't know if his grandfather really doesn't believe him, or if he's using this method to get the classmate who supposedly lost the money to stop caring about it."
"But his grandfather didn't expect that that very night, a thirteen-year-old boy would jump into the river near the school..."
When the middle-aged man talked about this, he took a deep breath and his voice paused for a long time.
It seemed as if his emotions were caught up in that incident again.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were silent...
After a while, netizens' discussions started to emerge quickly!
[What happened next? How did it happen? Was he rescued?]
【Be saved...a beautiful wish.】
【Wow~ I suddenly feel so sad.】
【This story is really...heartbreaking. 】
…
While netizens were checking the news, the middle-aged man continued speaking in the live broadcast room.
"Fortunately, the child was rescued and eventually grew up. Because of his excellent academic performance, he found a good job after graduation. After earning money, he also supported his grandparents."
"I met him last year and we had dinner together. He said he planned to find a girlfriend and start a family."
After hearing his words, the netizens in the live broadcast room who were originally in a sad mood instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s really great!
[After all the hardship comes happiness~! Although his childhood was difficult, I hope his future life will be smooth.]
Good things happen to good people. I wish him a peaceful rest of his life.
【Thanks to the person who saved him, there is one less regret in this world. 】
…
In the live broadcast room, Lan Xi listened to the middle-aged man's words. She looked into his eyes and frowned slightly.
He had a smile in his eyes, and his gaze was somewhat distant, and it was obvious that those last few words were not true.
At this moment, Lan Xi's expression was also seen by netizens squatting in the live broadcast room. Some people were puzzled and couldn't help asking -
What's wrong with the anchor? Others have escaped death, but the anchor seems unhappy?
[The host's expression shows that he doesn't want that child to have a good life?]
[The host can't empathize, right? She's a wealthy lady after all...]
[The person who said this is a new fan, right? Don't you know that the anchor wasn't originally a wealthy daughter, but a little village girl from the mountains?]
…
Seeing what the netizens said, Lan Xi remained silent and continued to stare at the middle-aged man who was connected to her live broadcast.
Perhaps it was her eyes that made the other party feel questioned, and the middle-aged man's originally smiling eyes became calm!
"You figured it out...?" he whispered, his voice a little hoarse with sadness.
Lan Xi nodded, "Well, I know you are lying."
This light-hearted sentence left netizens in the live broadcast room full of questions!
What's going on?
What is a lie? What words are lies?
[It can’t be what I thought…]
【Ah? Please don't do that!】
【Growing up is all fake???】
…
Seeing netizens' speculations, the middle-aged man sighed deeply.
He nodded, his tone heavy, "Yes, I lied."
"In fact, the boy was gone that night. He...didn't grow up at all."
"The so-called growing up is just my fantasy."
"I think that when he grows up, he should live that kind of life..."
Netizens: ...
[My defense is broken... I feel even more abused than before! ]
【how so! 】
The middle-aged man was still talking.
"At the funeral, the elementary school teacher who bought the boy's clothes came and cried bitterly, angrily scolding the boy's grandfather."
"He said that if this child grew up smoothly, he would have a bright future! It's a pity that he didn't..."
"When the child left, he was wearing the basketball uniform that his elementary school teacher had bought for him. That uniform was not only his first set of clothes in his life, but also had extraordinary meaning to him."
"Six months later, the boy's grandmother died of excessive grief."
"Two years later, the boy's grandfather also jumped into the river..."
After saying this, the middle-aged man stopped talking.
It seemed as if he had finished telling the story.
While netizens were immersed in this sad story, some netizens asked:
[So, uncle, who are you?]
Is the uncle in this story?
[I think this older brother is the elementary school teacher? ]
[Should it be a teacher? ]
…
Netizens were talking about it, but the middle-aged man did not reveal his identity.
He simply looked at the girl in the live broadcast room with a calm expression and said softly, "Host, I have finished my story. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to tell it."
"The reason I want to tell this story is because I want him to be known by others. This way, it can be considered as a trace of his presence in this world..."
After saying the last sentence, the middle-aged man planned to end the live broadcast.
However, just when he was about to quit, Lan Xi's voice suddenly sounded in the live broadcast room!
"He existed, what about you?" she asked.
"Is it worth it to put yourself in a dead end just for him who is no longer here?"
While Lan Xi was speaking, the middle-aged man who was connected to her via live broadcast had visible shock and panic in his eyes!
The netizens who were watching were confused by what the host said.
The emotions in the middle-aged man's eyes calmed down, with a hint of relief.
"You see it again..."
This time, he spoke to the anchor in a respectful tone.
If he came to the live broadcast room before, it was just to tell this story and let more people know.
So now, he really believes that the anchor has abilities that ordinary people can't imagine!
"If you can tell fortunes, I want to know whether the boy will have a good life after he goes down... no, whether he will have a good life in his next life?" asked the middle-aged man.
Lan Xi shook her head. "I think this fortune should be told for you, and I only tell fortunes for living people."
After hearing what the host said, there was a moment of regret in the man's eyes.
The anchor said that it was for him...
"I know my own results, so there's no need to calculate them."
Lan Xi shook his head again, "I think I still need a fortune telling, or to explain your identity."
