Epilogue
After being with Evan,I often got angry for no reason.
Especially because he hid his age from me.In fact,he had already graduated from university.Not only was he not younger than me,but he was also two years older.
As expected,a baby face makes one look younger!
Since then,I often wondered how many more secrets he was still hiding.
Oh,I forgot to mention.We stayed on the mountain for half a day,and we both sneezed continuously as if we were having a competition.Finally,we decided to go down the mountain and turn ourselves in.
This isn't America,where you can run away wherever you want.Those scenes in American and British dramas where underage male and female protagonists drive an adult's car,singing and throwing money all the way,are all lies.
To hell with that world,and to hell with Netflix.
Although Evan was abandoned by his adoptive parents,he was still their child in name.
When they knew that he had caused such a big mess,they only sent a lawyer over.
Surprisingly,this lawyer was really useful.
With the lawyer's eloquent defense and my outstanding acting skills,Evan successfully got rid of the charges.
And the phone he hid in his chest pocket when he rushed into the fire that day also recorded my father's confession of his crimes.
His adoptive parents hired a lawyer for him at a price.They wanted to completely sever the parent-child relationship with Evan.When he heard this news,I was by his side and held his hand tightly.
As for me,I went back to school.
Zhang Lan's recording was posted online and became a hot topic.She was cyberbullied by netizens to the point of depression.
The school couldn't withstand the pressure and issued a school-wide notice about her,depriving her of the qualification to apply for scholarships and join the Party.
After that,her father,who was an official,was also implicated.His affairs of embezzlement,bribery,and having a mistress were also reported in the news.
When I received her call,I was in the bathroom.She cried and begged me to forgive her.I said okay,and then she asked me to speak up for her online.
"Get lost."
After I said that,I hung up the phone,poured the ashes of my father,which were in a plastic Coke bottle,into the toilet,and pressed the flush button without hesitation.
