Invite it to come and bring itself home.
He took a breath and prepared to jump into the sea to escape.Suddenly there was a panic on the boat.
"What's going on...what's the sound...the police patrol boat!...we weren't informed...damn the police, they're coming aboard!"
After a while of silence, the noise grew louder.
"Don't let them on the boat! The kid on the boat..."
Another voice was louder, overwhelming the opposition.
"No open confrontation with the police! That child must be thrown away, not with..."
It's about time.Nice gently pulled down the window shutter, watching the sea jumping down.
cold, really cold.
This is his first feeling.Compared with the always-heated swimming pool at home, even though it is summer, the sea water at night is still bone-chillingly cold.This made him feel strange and uncomfortable. It seemed that the familiar environment produced a new force, which rejected his return.He hadn't expected this to be the first feeling of being back at sea.
Then he slowly dived into the water, letting the salty seawater fill every pore of his body, opened his eyes, and looked up at the sky from the water.A yellow moon hangs above the night sky.
Something touched him lightly on his back.It was the wild dolphin.It smelled Nice suspiciously, as if it didn't understand why the human in front of it had its own familiar smell.Nice put out his hands and hugged the dolphin's head.
At this time, there was a panic on board.
"The child jumped into the water and escaped!"
"Why panic, I haven't seen any children!" The leader said loudly: "Remember, everyone said so!"
Chen Ou was very anxious on the boat.The head of the serious crime team of the police station who accompanied him said: "The boat is full of habitual offenders. They are bold and dark-hearted. When they are in a hurry, they are easy to take risks, fearing that it will harm the children."
When Chen Ou thought that he had spent more than half a year to make the child no longer afraid of people, but was destroyed by these criminals, he wanted to kill with hatred.
Suddenly, there was panic on the boat ahead.Chen Ou had a bad feeling and asked, "What are they calling?"
"It seems to say that the child fell into the water." The little brother wearing the monitor earphones said uncertainly.
Chen Ou jumped into the water and swam towards the place where the sound of falling water came from.He swims every day, and the water quality is excellent.But the heated swimming pool and the sea in the middle of the night are two different things.He dived for a while, and just after he surfaced, he felt a burning pain in his shoulder, and the sound of whistling bullets sounded in his ears.
Nice to swim with the dolphins near the seaside caves.Due to ocean currents, the dark cave is very warm, and he is more familiar with the inside than with the lines of his palm.But he found that the hole had narrowed, and now he had to turn his shoulders to get in.
Walking in the cave, he found that the cave had become too narrow, and he was hit by the wall several times, once hitting his forehead so painfully.Gradually, the joy of going home receded like a tide, leaving a blank.
A group of wild dolphins gathered at the mouth of the cave.The dolphin that led him jumped happily at the entrance of the cave, as if welcoming an old friend.He smiled. Fortunately, the dolphins remained unchanged.Although he was away for a while, the Dolphins did not forget him.
He was about to swim away with the dolphins when he heard a familiar voice faintly in the wind.He thought he had heard it wrong, but the dolphins were on guard.
"Nice...Nice..."
It's Chen Ou.He came after him.
He became irritable, feeling the panic and uneasiness he felt when he was caught by the big net.But this time it was not the skin that was torn, but the heart.He pressed his chest, and his heart hit the skin of his chest violently as if it was about to jump out.Then he knew, this is the instinct of animals, pain for the coming farewell, liking for love.
This little joy was like bait on a fishhook, exuding a sweet smell that made him hesitate in the water.The dolphin got impatient and kissed him lightly on the back, urging him.
The voice calling him was getting closer, and the group of dolphins made a slight commotion.Contrary to people's imagination, wild dolphins do not like to be close to people, and they are instinctively wary of humans.Unless by chance, no one can gain the trust of wild dolphins.
Nice knew that most of his former dolphin partners might not recognize him after he had been away for so long.If you miss this opportunity, you will never be able to return to the dolphin group.He made up his mind and looked back again, saying goodbye to Chen Ou unilaterally.
Then he and the dolphins smelled a slight smell of blood.In the sea, this is a danger signal.The commotion among the dolphins increased, and several turned around and swam away.The dolphin behind also stopped urging, and stood there hesitantly.
Nice finally glanced in the direction of the bloody smell.On the sea under the moonlight, Chen Ou's face was as pale as snow, he slowly closed his eyes, and sank into the depths of the sea.There was a large bloodstain on his shoulder, and the blood couldn't stop flowing.But his arms stretched forward desperately, insisting on a hugging posture, as if he was still trying to protect something.
Nice didn't think about anything, and swam towards Chen Ou vigorously.The last dolphin flicked its tail and swam away in the opposite direction.A long time later, whenever Nice thought of this moment, he couldn't help but regret not being able to say goodbye to these childhood friends.
But that night, the only thought in his mind was to drag Chen Ou out of the sea.He quickly swam to Chen Ou's side, grabbed the clothes on his back, and swam desperately towards the cave.Although Chen Ou is thin, his muscles are very strong and his weight is not light. Nice swims quite strenuously.
When they arrived at the cave, Nice encountered a problem: Chen Ou couldn't get into the cave, and the entrance of the cave was too narrow for adults.He had to put Chen Ou on a protruding rock.
Chen Ou opened his eyes slightly, his face turned pale from the pain and blood loss.But his smile didn't halve when he stared at Nice.
"Don't be afraid... people are good and bad, just like there are dolphins and sharks in the sea..."
He was too painful to speak, and closed his eyes again, the wound hit by the stray bullet was still bleeding.Nis didn't know what to do, and a fear more intense than seeing his dolphin companions turn around and leave came to him, and he almost lost his strength.
The lights of the police patrol boat drew closer.But the cave was shrouded in shadows, and neither Nis nor Chen Ou had the strength to swim into the light range anymore.
Seeing that the patrol boat was about to turn around and leave, fear forced Nice to open his mouth, and voluntarily shouted his first words since returning to human society, and also the first words after suffering from autism.
"Help! Help! Help!"
The author has something to say:
Small theater narrator: So from this day on, the little dolphin who was cured of autism has become a chatterbox (scroll).
☆、Chapter 32
(Reality)
No matter the professor, Chen Ou or Charles, they didn't ask Nice why he left in the first place, even though that was the root cause of Chen Ou's injury.They didn't even hold Wagundi accountable.The professor said: "A scientist who has no moral law in his heart will not achieve much in scientific career."
Since then, Nice, who has overcome autism, has been no different from ordinary children.He worked hard to overcome the fear and disgust in his heart, and actively learned all the knowledge he could get his hands on.In the autumn of that year, he entered school, and soon showed extraordinary IQ and excellent physical fitness, and won the first prize in several knowledge competitions and swimming competitions.A media found Chen Ou and wanted Nice to participate in the live variety show of the knowledge contest.The show has high ratings and the kids who appear on the show will get more attention in the school and community.
Chen Ou refused without hesitation: "Children of this age are better at reading, so it's not worth mentioning." He was afraid that Niss would arouse public interest, and then his strange origins would be discovered.He promised himself that he would introduce Niss into normal human society, then Niss would not be able to carry the label of "wild child" for a lifetime.
The professor put it more directly: "There is no shortage of geniuses in my family, but the rare ones are monkeys playing tricks."
***************************************************************************
Nice kissed the circular scar on Chen Ou's shoulder.The stray bullet at sea that year caused a penetrating wound here. Fortunately, the treatment was timely. After the wound healed, only a scar slightly smaller than the mouth of the teacup was left. However, Chen Ou's right hand could not be raised vertically above the ground since then.
"I've been meaning to ask you a question," Nice said.
Chen Ou said: "What?" Nice's broken hair brushed against Chen Ou's armpit and neck.
Nice asked: "After you injured your right hand, will it be affected when you give yourself... that?" He let out a muffled laugh.Chen Ou kicked him, but very lightly.Niss felt that this was an immunity of innocence, so he held Chen Ou's arm and began to question: "Tell me, tell me, I don't believe you never had that."
Chen Ou said angrily: "You have stayed in my room for more than ten years, which father would do such a perverted thing to his son?"
Nice put his arms around Chen Ou's neck, and whispered to him: "I think that's very interesting, I can't believe that you have...you made such a big sacrifice for me for so many years!" The shyness brought about by discussing physiological issues also has the extra excitement caused by it.
Chen Ou sneered: "Soldier, if you have a partner and rely on this to solve it, you will be laughed at."
Even in the dark, Chen Ou could feel the heat on Nice's face.Nice said softly, "I didn't talk to Bodi... Humph, believe it or not."
Chen Ou also asked softly: "Why not?"
Nisi almost bit Chen Ou's ear between his lips, and Chen Ou felt his ears itchy: "Since that time, you know, Wagendi found three people, all of whom were very good, so I later, um, not quite adapt."
Chen Ou was shocked: "What?" He thought, Don't Niss get some twisted sexual fetishes because of that night!
Nice said: "I'm not very good at, um, taking the initiative. Last time it was them... I don't want to be like them, you know, it's disgusting." He made a vomiting gesture to show that he still had his integrity.
Chen Ou thought, I don't see how disgusting you are in the video.But since Nice asked him for help, he had to act like a reliable elder and try to help him solve it.He pondered for a while, then asked, "What did Bodie say?"
Nice whispered, "He's upset and hasn't talked to me for a month." He was a little sad, after all, this was his first love in life, if the one with Kona wasn't counted.
Chen Ou patted Nice comfortingly, thinking that this child is still the same as when he was a child, and he came to act like a baby to himself when he was left out.It's just that when I was young, it was because of the professor, but now it's because of the little lover.He cleared his throat and said, "Sometimes love may not be accompanied by sex, maybe you should give each other a little time. You are only sixteen, and Bodi is at most."
Nice said anxiously: "No, I want it very much! And my desire is very strong. Bodi once caught me in the bathroom of the dormitory, um, that. Then he ignored me."
Chen Ou, who always felt that Nice was snatched away by Bodi, finally couldn't hold back his sourness: "I guess his self-esteem is damaged. After all, you would rather, um, not look for him." He stuttered, but still couldn't calmly talk to Nice. Talk about sex.
Nisi chuckled a few times, feeling embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "It's always weird to be with him." He turned his head and asked Chen Ou, "Who did you date for the first time?"
Chen Ou sneered: "There are very few people who are as rich and wonderful as you for the first time, so there is nothing to say." Nice thumped his chest.
Chen Ou looked at the ceiling and slowly recalled: "It was in the second year of college. I went to college at the age of 15, a year earlier than you. Others are at least three years older than me. For teenagers, this age difference is almost a generation. people's generation gap."
Nice nodded empathetically, he had the same trouble.In adolescence, there are no partners of the same age, and the people around you are all more mature than you. The loneliness is simply boring and murderous.It is precisely because of this that he cherishes Bodi very much, because apart from Bodi, no one else is willing to approach him.
Chen Ou said: "She is very beautiful, she is an art student, and she can play the piano well. We met at a sorority party, and we don't know much about socializing with people. I sent her home and watched her enter the house before returning, but At an intersection, she stopped me from behind and said she would send me back. At that moment, I knew that it was basically this person."
Nice said sourly: "I thought I just had to compete with the professor for you, but I didn't expect that your heart already belonged to someone else."
Chen Ou smiled, touched his head, and said: "We had a relationship a month later. I will always remember that night. She said that she was so happy that she would die immediately without regret, and I am the same."
Nice was shocked and said, "Ah!" He had the impression that Chen Ou was gentle and restrained, but he didn't know that he had such an affectionate and intense side.He asked, "What happened next?"
Chen Ou said: "She passed away due to illness, hereditary disease, cancer. Since then, I have determined to do research on genetic inheritance."
After a moment of silence, Nice said, "Didn't you find someone else after that?"
Chen Ou said: "I've looked for it, and I don't have the same feeling as before. A person may only have that feeling once in a lifetime."
Ness hugged him around the neck.Chen Ou patted him on the shoulder, thanking him for his comfort.Nice asked softly, "I'm sorry...I don't know...did I cause you pain?" he asked uneasily.
Chen Ou smiled and replied: "No, it's not painful, this is a love story, and love doesn't make people painful." He was really not sad.There is no greater comfort in the world than being with a child you have watched grow up and knowing that he is safe and sound.He will not let the tragic memories long buried affect him.
Nice is silent.After a while, he suddenly lifted the sheet, leaned on the bed, propped up his body with his hands, and said, "Come on, ride on me!"
Chen Ou was caught off guard and said, "What are you doing?"
Nice said: "I'll show you how strong I am now! Come on!" He turned his head sideways and winked at Chen Ou.Chen Ou thought that this child was really messing around, and at the same time was successfully aroused childlike innocence.
So Chen Ou slowly lay on Nice's back.Nice didn't break his promise, he bent and stretched his arms, and he really did a few solid push-ups with Chen Ou on his back.But when Chen Ou saw the bulging muscles in his arms, he somehow thought of orangutans and an old movie about humans adopting orangutans, and suddenly laughed.As a result, Nis couldn't do it anymore, turned over and hugged Chen Ou.
In this way, the sentimental atmosphere in the room was gone.The two laughed under their breath for a while.Chen Ou felt that he might not have a chance to sleep again until dawn this night, but after a while, he fell asleep unknowingly and had a good night's sleep.
************************************************** ******************
The Christmas morning tradition is to unwrap presents.Chen Ou gave the professor a vinyl record of the 20th century, the lead singer is the professor's favorite singer.This record has long since disappeared from the market, and due to copyright, there has never been an updated version such as digital.Chen Ou contacted a cultural industry foundation under the Lewis Group through Shire, and got the record at a small private auction.The professor stared at the record for a long time, and gave Chen Ou a tight hug.
What the professor gave to Chen Ou was a one-week package ticket for the hot spring hotel in Wilm City, a tourist attraction. "You need a good rest. Even Alzheimer's disease is not worth your life." The professor rarely showed his tender side.
Chen Ou thanked the professor for his kindness.He gave Martin a complete top-of-the-line kitchen cooking set, worth as much as a nice private car. Martin was very happy and excited to bake a black brown butter pie immediately.Chen Ou quickly stopped him, he didn't want the professor to clean up his wardrobe after Christmas.
Nice received a set of formal suits, suits, leather shoes, ties, and pocket squares as gifts from the professor.
"A gift for adults, it may be used in the New Year's ball." The professor explained, and added, "It's the same brand as Chen Ou's cashmere coat, and it matches well."
Chen Ou wailed and covered his face.The professor actively told everyone he met about giving away the coat.
"You should cover your stomach." The professor turned his head and suggested enthusiastically.
What Martin gave Nice was a variety of homemade jams and meat sauces, there were ten bottles of large and small, and Nice could take them back to school to eat.Chen Ou felt that if Nice was brought back, he would be laughed at as a sissy.Nice must have thought so too, he looked up to Chen Ou for support, his eyes full of prayers.
"What good food can you eat in a place like the North Pole? Look how thin you are!" Martin said distressedly, taking a moment to glance at Chen Ou.He always believed that it was an irresponsible performance of parents to let Niss go to school in a barren land like Analo.
Chen Ou coughed and said, "That's right, Nice, if it's not convenient for you to take it with you, I can send it back to the dormitory for you." In order to satisfy Martin's love, Chen Ou thought that Nice's decency could be sacrificed appropriately.The pleading in Nice's eyes turned to despair.
Chen Ou gave Nice a complete set of fitness equipment, which was placed in the corner of the living room, and both he and Nice could use it.Nice love it.
"I think I can't suspend training even when I come home. This set of equipment is so timely." Nice couldn't put it down, "I was hurt by Chen Ou last night, and my waist still hurts." He retaliated, not knowing what he said What a huge ambiguity.
Martin stared at Chen Ou, speechless, as if struck by lightning, but soon turned into uncontrollable wild laughter, his face turned purple.Nice had never seen Martin lose his composure like this.
Chen Ou mouthed to Martin, "Virgin, not sensible." He said silently, pointing to Nice.
"I can understand it!" Niss protested. He felt that it would be too stupid to refute that he was not a virgin with the fact that he had slept with three prostitutes, so he didn't say much.
The professor rested his hands on the arms of the wheelchair, did not watch them interact, and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Let's do breakfast prayer." Everyone laughed enough, Chen Ou announced.Nice was too hasty to go home and failed to prepare Christmas presents, and everyone was very considerate and didn't mention it.
The pre-dinner prayer at No. [-] Fenglin Avenue is different. Instead of quoting the Bible or praying to God, the professor will give a short speech on the theme of science or art.The professor raised his head, and his eyes flicked across the faces of Chen Ou, Nice, and Martin.
"Today, our theme is 'killing children'." The professor announced.
"What?" Martin widened his eyes, thinking that he must have heard wrong.
"Yes, kill your son. Christmas is the birthday of Jesus Christ. Jehovah sacrificed him to the world to redeem the sins of the world. So the topic we are discussing today is—killing your son."
"Not all parents in the biological world will take care of their children. For example, dolphins in nature have the phenomenon of killing their children." The professor said calmly, not missing the uneasy eyes exchanged between Chen Ou and Nice.
"Humans also have legends about killing their sons. For example, ancient Greek mythology. Some are in order to defend power. Powerful fathers are afraid of their sons, and kill their sons first. For example, the second generation of Olympia's main god, Cloros, swallowed all his children Some are for sacrifice, the father sacrificed his son to defend the faith. Some are for revenge, women kill their sons to achieve revenge on men, such as the famous Medea, when she found her husband betrayed her, she immediately killed Son, go far away. There are also fathers who love their sons because of ignorance or negligence, resulting in the death of their children."
"The bond of father and son has always been regarded as the most unbreakable bond, and is widely admired in popular literature and art. But through these myths, we can see that human beings are not so convinced of this knowledge. On the contrary, if they find themselves threatened , the most rational choice for a father is to kill his own son first." The professor analyzed in detail.
"We are all children of nature. Therefore, the premise of scientific research is not to offend our father of nature, otherwise we will suffer terrible revenge. Amen." Professor Chen Ou ended, handing the long-handled table knife to Niss, facing He gave an encouraging smile, "Come share the cake."
Chen Ou felt that his hands might tremble when Nice brought the cake dish to the professor, and he decided that he must have read it wrong.
The meal was hastily consumed by the people at the table, almost in awe.Chen Ou sighed in his heart, and was not surprised to see a slight smile on the professor's mouth.The professor was joking with Nice.Nice said something wrong, which created the illusion that Chen Ou had a relationship with him beyond father and son, so the professor confronted him and killed his son.Chen Ou felt that the atmosphere at home often suddenly became tense, and more than half of the reasons were due to the professor's weird sense of humor.
The communication watch "ding" was a notification from the postal company that the genetic samples and data of Lin's syndrome had been sent to the research institute.Chen Ou swallowed the food in his mouth, apologized to everyone, and explained that he would go to the research institute to work overtime.
"I'll go with you!" Niss jumped up and overturned his chair, refusing to admit that he was frightened by the professor's words.
☆、Chapter 33
Nice returned to normal when he got into the car, figured out that the professor was scaring him and joking, and began to complain: "The professor is ready to be violent at any time."
Chen Ou skillfully drove the car out of the garage, smiled at the rearview mirror, and said, "You can bear the gap between IQ and knowledge."
Nice soon became happy again, eager to try: "Can I drive a car?" Chen Ou drove an old car, which has long been extinct from the market, and Martin took good care of it.Nice stayed in the school for half a year and learned a lot about the car. Knowing that this car has a high status in the hearts of car fans, it is also a bragging capital after a test drive.
On Christmas morning, there was not a single car on the road from home to the institute.But Chen Ou refused: "You haven't reached the legal age to drive, forget it."
Nice complained dissatisfiedly: "The law is really inexplicable. You can't drive at the age of 16, but you can recruit prostitutes..." He caught a glimpse of Chen Ou looking over with unfriendly eyes, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
When he came to the research institute, Chen Ou stopped the car and said, "Don't bring up that matter again." He handed the car keys to Nice and said with a smile, "Go and help me park the car, soldier."
Nice parked the car neatly.Chen Ou opened the gate, took out the package in the delivery box, and told an anecdote: "All the old gentlemen in the research institute looked squinted and couldn't park the car straight. He didn't say that he was not good at technology, but complained that the parking space was too small, saying that there were parking spaces on both sides. It’s easy to calibrate when driving. So one day, my colleagues specially vacated an empty parking space for him with cars on both sides.”
Nice took the package from Chen Ou and asked, "Did he stop?"
Chen Ou said: "It's parked right, he drove the car into the parking space, boom-boom, it's parked right. But the two colleagues asked the car insurance company to pay a sum of money to repair the car."
Nice smiled.Chen Ou always has a way to make him happy, from childhood to adulthood.
Chen Ou opened the door of the laboratory and told Niss: "Don't touch the equipment, and don't touch the experimental animals." Niss nodded, knowing that it was all Chen Ou's hard work.
Chen Ou flipped through the information on Lin's syndrome, and his heart sank the more he read it.He knew that Lin's syndrome was a dominant inheritance, but he didn't know that the hereditary probability was so high.According to national data, if one parent carries the Lin syndrome genetic gene, the child will almost certainly carry the gene, and the chance of escaping is very small.People who carry this gene tend to develop one or more types of tumors in adulthood.
Fortunately, not all tumors are malignant.Even if it is a malignant tumor, as long as it is discovered in time and treated with surgery or symptomatic drugs, the patient's life can last for a long time.Chen Ou sighed, and he will increase the number of physical examinations within a year in the future.
Nice saw a strange cylindrical instrument, pointed to it and asked, "What is that?"
Chen Ou glanced at it and said, "The bone age tester can accurately measure your bone age, so that you can know your exact age. I tested it for you the first day I brought you back."
Nice looked at the instrument with great interest and asked, "Can I try it?"
The instrument is very easy to use, so Chen Ou agreed and taught Nice how to operate it.He rolled up his sleeves, drew half a tube of blood for himself, and started the test bench equipment to start the test.In fact, the results can be analyzed as well as saliva, but the results of genetic testing with blood are more accurate.The matter is of great importance, and Chen Ou feels that no matter how cautious he is, it cannot be overstated.
After a while, the genetic data was successfully obtained and entered into the central computer. The next step is to wait for the comparison results of these data and Lin's syndrome samples, which will take about a quarter of an hour.Taking advantage of this time, Chen Ou read the genetic mechanism of Lin's syndrome recorded in the data again, and felt more and more helpless.
Nice had a great time.He pressed ten fingers on the instrument respectively, and the displayed ages were all the same, accurate to the month.He said: "I turned out to be born in July!"
Chen Ou closed the document with a heavy heart, and gave up the last chance.Nice asked, "Would you like to try it too?"
Chen Ou really didn't measure his bone age.This instrument is really too simple. Compared with other precision equipment in the laboratory, it is simply the gap between a household scale and a supercomputer, and it is completely uninteresting to try it out.But Chen Ou didn't want to spoil Nice's interest, so he walked over.
He put his hand on the scan port, thinking about Lin's syndrome.Should I tell my professor now, or wait until I get sick?He doesn't want to add to the professor's worries, but he desperately needs his family's support right now.
With a ding, a line of numbers was displayed on the LCD screen.Nice said happily: "So you are 31 years old."
Chen Ou said absently: "What 31, I am 32."
Nice pointed to the LCD screen.Chen Ou glanced at it, and it said 31 years and one month.
His first reaction was that Nice did not calibrate the start date, but he immediately remembered that this instrument has a built-in wireless system, which can calibrate the time accuracy with the local observatory at any time.In the end, he came to his senses: simply measuring bone age does not use the function of date calibration at all.
He froze on the spot, speechless, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he said to himself: "No! This is impossible!"
Nice had never seen him like this before, and kindly suggested: "Is there something wrong with the instrument? Can you test it again?"
The realistic instinct of scientific researchers let Chen Ou know that Nice's guess was unreliable, but at this time the irrational side gained the upper hand in his heart.Chen Ou tested it again, and then again, over and over again, a total of ten times, and each time the result was the same.
Nice asked carefully: "Is there something wrong?" Chen Ou's complexion was beyond words.The sadness of being deceived, the anger of being betrayed, and the bewilderment after suddenly discovering the truth, all kinds of emotions are intertwined and vividly displayed on his face.
Chen Ou took a breath, and pointed to an ash wood frame hanging beside the table. Inside was a yellowed old newspaper, and the headline on the front page was the news of the tragic death of a couple of researchers in a laboratory fire.
************************************************** ************************
Report from our newspaper: On XX, XX, a fire broke out in the world's most famous local genetic research institute in the middle of the night. A couple of researchers died in order to save scientific research results.
"They are my most valued students. They have bold ideas and solid foundations. They have made some achievements in this field during their lifetime. I thought that the three of us could reach the pinnacle of genetic science research together." The institute injured in the fire The professor in charge said sadly in the ward that he was seriously injured in his leg because of rescuing laboratory data, and the doctor said that it would be difficult to recover.
Chen and his wife have no other relatives, only a one-year-old son in foster care in the countryside.They are so poor that they cannot pay local babysitters to look after their babies, so they have to leave their sons in the care of relatives.
************************************************** *******************
Nice looked at the news date, "Ah!" He got it.
According to Chen Ou's bone age, he was born a year after his parents died.This means that the professor lied to the interviewer at the time of the incident, and has maintained the same lie to Chen Ou for more than 30 years.
At this moment, the computer beeped, indicating that the comparison of genetic results was completed.
The analysis results on the screen showed that Chen Ou's gene had nothing to do with Lin's syndrome.He may still have various tumors, but the cause is definitely not Lin's syndrome.
☆、Chapter 34
"I can't believe that you haven't thought about measuring your own bone age for so many years. I mean, like you geek scientists, the first reaction when you get the instrument is to test it on yourself?" Charles said While driving, he asked Chen Ou in the back seat.After all, the bone age test is just cold data, and they are going to go to the hospital registered on Chen Ou's birth certificate to find out.
It was a private hospital, and it was the Christmas holiday, so inquiries unrelated to diagnosis and treatment were not accepted.However, the name of the Louis Group is very useful. Charles mentioned his father a little on the phone, and the director of the hospital agreed for them to visit.
"The instruments in the laboratory have no other functions except to measure bone age. Who would have nothing to do to remind themselves how old they are?" Chen Ou said wearily, he was still in shock after learning the truth.Ness put his arms around his shoulders tenderly.Officer Jones, who was in the passenger seat, searched the nearby roads with his mobile phone, but said nothing.
They drove all afternoon to arrive at the hospital, and met the shrewd dean.Charles mentioned several celebrities who he knew each other, and promised to invite one or two of them to the hospital's New Year's charity ball, then pointed to Chen Ou and said with a smile: "My friend was born in this hospital, he wants to come Revisit old places."
The dean nodded in understanding, and said, "It's rare for people to do this now, but it's indeed very commemorative."
Chen Ou said his name and the date of birth on his birth certificate.The dean led them to a row of wards.Through the glass window on the door, pregnant women and their accompanying relatives in the ward can be seen.The dean smiled and said: "This is a ward that has just been renovated, and the layout is the same as it was more than 30 years ago. The wallpaper is newly pasted, the floor has been resurfaced, and nothing else has changed. We are a private hospital, and the style is more traditional and nostalgic."
The four nodded in understanding.The dean introduced a head nurse with gray temples to them, and said: "Mrs. Johnson has worked in this hospital for nearly 40 years."
Chen Ou explained his intention to Mrs. Johnson.Mrs. Johnson watched his face carefully and shook her head.
"Son, you don't look like a mixed race. Your mother must be of Asian descent. The hospital you mentioned happened to be renovated in the year you mentioned, and only two wards were kept. I remember very clearly that we definitely did not accept Asian mothers."
"Perhaps the later year? You know, birth certificates sometimes get the date wrong. It's rare, but there are precedents." Charles asked.
Mrs. Johnson's gray eyes showed a stern expression, like a high school teacher treating a student who tried to cheat: "For more than 30 years, I have personally checked and signed all the birth certificates we provided to the police. I can't make a mistake."
Officer Jones, who had been silent for a while, asked, "Can we check the electronic file records of the babies born in those two years?"
Police Officer Jones spoke with a sense of majesty after staying in the power administrative agency for a long time. Mrs. Johnson looked at her suspiciously and said: "We only have simple information entered manually, and we have not scanned and photographed the entire set of patient files. Our funds There is a constant shortage of manpower."
Chen Ou asked: "Is the original paper file still there?"
Sure enough, Mrs. Johnson shook her head.
With a glimmer of hope, they checked the electronic archives. There was very little information more than 30 years ago.
He took a breath and prepared to jump into the sea to escape.Suddenly there was a panic on the boat.
"What's going on...what's the sound...the police patrol boat!...we weren't informed...damn the police, they're coming aboard!"
After a while of silence, the noise grew louder.
"Don't let them on the boat! The kid on the boat..."
Another voice was louder, overwhelming the opposition.
"No open confrontation with the police! That child must be thrown away, not with..."
It's about time.Nice gently pulled down the window shutter, watching the sea jumping down.
cold, really cold.
This is his first feeling.Compared with the always-heated swimming pool at home, even though it is summer, the sea water at night is still bone-chillingly cold.This made him feel strange and uncomfortable. It seemed that the familiar environment produced a new force, which rejected his return.He hadn't expected this to be the first feeling of being back at sea.
Then he slowly dived into the water, letting the salty seawater fill every pore of his body, opened his eyes, and looked up at the sky from the water.A yellow moon hangs above the night sky.
Something touched him lightly on his back.It was the wild dolphin.It smelled Nice suspiciously, as if it didn't understand why the human in front of it had its own familiar smell.Nice put out his hands and hugged the dolphin's head.
At this time, there was a panic on board.
"The child jumped into the water and escaped!"
"Why panic, I haven't seen any children!" The leader said loudly: "Remember, everyone said so!"
Chen Ou was very anxious on the boat.The head of the serious crime team of the police station who accompanied him said: "The boat is full of habitual offenders. They are bold and dark-hearted. When they are in a hurry, they are easy to take risks, fearing that it will harm the children."
When Chen Ou thought that he had spent more than half a year to make the child no longer afraid of people, but was destroyed by these criminals, he wanted to kill with hatred.
Suddenly, there was panic on the boat ahead.Chen Ou had a bad feeling and asked, "What are they calling?"
"It seems to say that the child fell into the water." The little brother wearing the monitor earphones said uncertainly.
Chen Ou jumped into the water and swam towards the place where the sound of falling water came from.He swims every day, and the water quality is excellent.But the heated swimming pool and the sea in the middle of the night are two different things.He dived for a while, and just after he surfaced, he felt a burning pain in his shoulder, and the sound of whistling bullets sounded in his ears.
Nice to swim with the dolphins near the seaside caves.Due to ocean currents, the dark cave is very warm, and he is more familiar with the inside than with the lines of his palm.But he found that the hole had narrowed, and now he had to turn his shoulders to get in.
Walking in the cave, he found that the cave had become too narrow, and he was hit by the wall several times, once hitting his forehead so painfully.Gradually, the joy of going home receded like a tide, leaving a blank.
A group of wild dolphins gathered at the mouth of the cave.The dolphin that led him jumped happily at the entrance of the cave, as if welcoming an old friend.He smiled. Fortunately, the dolphins remained unchanged.Although he was away for a while, the Dolphins did not forget him.
He was about to swim away with the dolphins when he heard a familiar voice faintly in the wind.He thought he had heard it wrong, but the dolphins were on guard.
"Nice...Nice..."
It's Chen Ou.He came after him.
He became irritable, feeling the panic and uneasiness he felt when he was caught by the big net.But this time it was not the skin that was torn, but the heart.He pressed his chest, and his heart hit the skin of his chest violently as if it was about to jump out.Then he knew, this is the instinct of animals, pain for the coming farewell, liking for love.
This little joy was like bait on a fishhook, exuding a sweet smell that made him hesitate in the water.The dolphin got impatient and kissed him lightly on the back, urging him.
The voice calling him was getting closer, and the group of dolphins made a slight commotion.Contrary to people's imagination, wild dolphins do not like to be close to people, and they are instinctively wary of humans.Unless by chance, no one can gain the trust of wild dolphins.
Nice knew that most of his former dolphin partners might not recognize him after he had been away for so long.If you miss this opportunity, you will never be able to return to the dolphin group.He made up his mind and looked back again, saying goodbye to Chen Ou unilaterally.
Then he and the dolphins smelled a slight smell of blood.In the sea, this is a danger signal.The commotion among the dolphins increased, and several turned around and swam away.The dolphin behind also stopped urging, and stood there hesitantly.
Nice finally glanced in the direction of the bloody smell.On the sea under the moonlight, Chen Ou's face was as pale as snow, he slowly closed his eyes, and sank into the depths of the sea.There was a large bloodstain on his shoulder, and the blood couldn't stop flowing.But his arms stretched forward desperately, insisting on a hugging posture, as if he was still trying to protect something.
Nice didn't think about anything, and swam towards Chen Ou vigorously.The last dolphin flicked its tail and swam away in the opposite direction.A long time later, whenever Nice thought of this moment, he couldn't help but regret not being able to say goodbye to these childhood friends.
But that night, the only thought in his mind was to drag Chen Ou out of the sea.He quickly swam to Chen Ou's side, grabbed the clothes on his back, and swam desperately towards the cave.Although Chen Ou is thin, his muscles are very strong and his weight is not light. Nice swims quite strenuously.
When they arrived at the cave, Nice encountered a problem: Chen Ou couldn't get into the cave, and the entrance of the cave was too narrow for adults.He had to put Chen Ou on a protruding rock.
Chen Ou opened his eyes slightly, his face turned pale from the pain and blood loss.But his smile didn't halve when he stared at Nice.
"Don't be afraid... people are good and bad, just like there are dolphins and sharks in the sea..."
He was too painful to speak, and closed his eyes again, the wound hit by the stray bullet was still bleeding.Nis didn't know what to do, and a fear more intense than seeing his dolphin companions turn around and leave came to him, and he almost lost his strength.
The lights of the police patrol boat drew closer.But the cave was shrouded in shadows, and neither Nis nor Chen Ou had the strength to swim into the light range anymore.
Seeing that the patrol boat was about to turn around and leave, fear forced Nice to open his mouth, and voluntarily shouted his first words since returning to human society, and also the first words after suffering from autism.
"Help! Help! Help!"
The author has something to say:
Small theater narrator: So from this day on, the little dolphin who was cured of autism has become a chatterbox (scroll).
☆、Chapter 32
(Reality)
No matter the professor, Chen Ou or Charles, they didn't ask Nice why he left in the first place, even though that was the root cause of Chen Ou's injury.They didn't even hold Wagundi accountable.The professor said: "A scientist who has no moral law in his heart will not achieve much in scientific career."
Since then, Nice, who has overcome autism, has been no different from ordinary children.He worked hard to overcome the fear and disgust in his heart, and actively learned all the knowledge he could get his hands on.In the autumn of that year, he entered school, and soon showed extraordinary IQ and excellent physical fitness, and won the first prize in several knowledge competitions and swimming competitions.A media found Chen Ou and wanted Nice to participate in the live variety show of the knowledge contest.The show has high ratings and the kids who appear on the show will get more attention in the school and community.
Chen Ou refused without hesitation: "Children of this age are better at reading, so it's not worth mentioning." He was afraid that Niss would arouse public interest, and then his strange origins would be discovered.He promised himself that he would introduce Niss into normal human society, then Niss would not be able to carry the label of "wild child" for a lifetime.
The professor put it more directly: "There is no shortage of geniuses in my family, but the rare ones are monkeys playing tricks."
***************************************************************************
Nice kissed the circular scar on Chen Ou's shoulder.The stray bullet at sea that year caused a penetrating wound here. Fortunately, the treatment was timely. After the wound healed, only a scar slightly smaller than the mouth of the teacup was left. However, Chen Ou's right hand could not be raised vertically above the ground since then.
"I've been meaning to ask you a question," Nice said.
Chen Ou said: "What?" Nice's broken hair brushed against Chen Ou's armpit and neck.
Nice asked: "After you injured your right hand, will it be affected when you give yourself... that?" He let out a muffled laugh.Chen Ou kicked him, but very lightly.Niss felt that this was an immunity of innocence, so he held Chen Ou's arm and began to question: "Tell me, tell me, I don't believe you never had that."
Chen Ou said angrily: "You have stayed in my room for more than ten years, which father would do such a perverted thing to his son?"
Nice put his arms around Chen Ou's neck, and whispered to him: "I think that's very interesting, I can't believe that you have...you made such a big sacrifice for me for so many years!" The shyness brought about by discussing physiological issues also has the extra excitement caused by it.
Chen Ou sneered: "Soldier, if you have a partner and rely on this to solve it, you will be laughed at."
Even in the dark, Chen Ou could feel the heat on Nice's face.Nice said softly, "I didn't talk to Bodi... Humph, believe it or not."
Chen Ou also asked softly: "Why not?"
Nisi almost bit Chen Ou's ear between his lips, and Chen Ou felt his ears itchy: "Since that time, you know, Wagendi found three people, all of whom were very good, so I later, um, not quite adapt."
Chen Ou was shocked: "What?" He thought, Don't Niss get some twisted sexual fetishes because of that night!
Nice said: "I'm not very good at, um, taking the initiative. Last time it was them... I don't want to be like them, you know, it's disgusting." He made a vomiting gesture to show that he still had his integrity.
Chen Ou thought, I don't see how disgusting you are in the video.But since Nice asked him for help, he had to act like a reliable elder and try to help him solve it.He pondered for a while, then asked, "What did Bodie say?"
Nice whispered, "He's upset and hasn't talked to me for a month." He was a little sad, after all, this was his first love in life, if the one with Kona wasn't counted.
Chen Ou patted Nice comfortingly, thinking that this child is still the same as when he was a child, and he came to act like a baby to himself when he was left out.It's just that when I was young, it was because of the professor, but now it's because of the little lover.He cleared his throat and said, "Sometimes love may not be accompanied by sex, maybe you should give each other a little time. You are only sixteen, and Bodi is at most."
Nice said anxiously: "No, I want it very much! And my desire is very strong. Bodi once caught me in the bathroom of the dormitory, um, that. Then he ignored me."
Chen Ou, who always felt that Nice was snatched away by Bodi, finally couldn't hold back his sourness: "I guess his self-esteem is damaged. After all, you would rather, um, not look for him." He stuttered, but still couldn't calmly talk to Nice. Talk about sex.
Nisi chuckled a few times, feeling embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "It's always weird to be with him." He turned his head and asked Chen Ou, "Who did you date for the first time?"
Chen Ou sneered: "There are very few people who are as rich and wonderful as you for the first time, so there is nothing to say." Nice thumped his chest.
Chen Ou looked at the ceiling and slowly recalled: "It was in the second year of college. I went to college at the age of 15, a year earlier than you. Others are at least three years older than me. For teenagers, this age difference is almost a generation. people's generation gap."
Nice nodded empathetically, he had the same trouble.In adolescence, there are no partners of the same age, and the people around you are all more mature than you. The loneliness is simply boring and murderous.It is precisely because of this that he cherishes Bodi very much, because apart from Bodi, no one else is willing to approach him.
Chen Ou said: "She is very beautiful, she is an art student, and she can play the piano well. We met at a sorority party, and we don't know much about socializing with people. I sent her home and watched her enter the house before returning, but At an intersection, she stopped me from behind and said she would send me back. At that moment, I knew that it was basically this person."
Nice said sourly: "I thought I just had to compete with the professor for you, but I didn't expect that your heart already belonged to someone else."
Chen Ou smiled, touched his head, and said: "We had a relationship a month later. I will always remember that night. She said that she was so happy that she would die immediately without regret, and I am the same."
Nice was shocked and said, "Ah!" He had the impression that Chen Ou was gentle and restrained, but he didn't know that he had such an affectionate and intense side.He asked, "What happened next?"
Chen Ou said: "She passed away due to illness, hereditary disease, cancer. Since then, I have determined to do research on genetic inheritance."
After a moment of silence, Nice said, "Didn't you find someone else after that?"
Chen Ou said: "I've looked for it, and I don't have the same feeling as before. A person may only have that feeling once in a lifetime."
Ness hugged him around the neck.Chen Ou patted him on the shoulder, thanking him for his comfort.Nice asked softly, "I'm sorry...I don't know...did I cause you pain?" he asked uneasily.
Chen Ou smiled and replied: "No, it's not painful, this is a love story, and love doesn't make people painful." He was really not sad.There is no greater comfort in the world than being with a child you have watched grow up and knowing that he is safe and sound.He will not let the tragic memories long buried affect him.
Nice is silent.After a while, he suddenly lifted the sheet, leaned on the bed, propped up his body with his hands, and said, "Come on, ride on me!"
Chen Ou was caught off guard and said, "What are you doing?"
Nice said: "I'll show you how strong I am now! Come on!" He turned his head sideways and winked at Chen Ou.Chen Ou thought that this child was really messing around, and at the same time was successfully aroused childlike innocence.
So Chen Ou slowly lay on Nice's back.Nice didn't break his promise, he bent and stretched his arms, and he really did a few solid push-ups with Chen Ou on his back.But when Chen Ou saw the bulging muscles in his arms, he somehow thought of orangutans and an old movie about humans adopting orangutans, and suddenly laughed.As a result, Nis couldn't do it anymore, turned over and hugged Chen Ou.
In this way, the sentimental atmosphere in the room was gone.The two laughed under their breath for a while.Chen Ou felt that he might not have a chance to sleep again until dawn this night, but after a while, he fell asleep unknowingly and had a good night's sleep.
************************************************** ******************
The Christmas morning tradition is to unwrap presents.Chen Ou gave the professor a vinyl record of the 20th century, the lead singer is the professor's favorite singer.This record has long since disappeared from the market, and due to copyright, there has never been an updated version such as digital.Chen Ou contacted a cultural industry foundation under the Lewis Group through Shire, and got the record at a small private auction.The professor stared at the record for a long time, and gave Chen Ou a tight hug.
What the professor gave to Chen Ou was a one-week package ticket for the hot spring hotel in Wilm City, a tourist attraction. "You need a good rest. Even Alzheimer's disease is not worth your life." The professor rarely showed his tender side.
Chen Ou thanked the professor for his kindness.He gave Martin a complete top-of-the-line kitchen cooking set, worth as much as a nice private car. Martin was very happy and excited to bake a black brown butter pie immediately.Chen Ou quickly stopped him, he didn't want the professor to clean up his wardrobe after Christmas.
Nice received a set of formal suits, suits, leather shoes, ties, and pocket squares as gifts from the professor.
"A gift for adults, it may be used in the New Year's ball." The professor explained, and added, "It's the same brand as Chen Ou's cashmere coat, and it matches well."
Chen Ou wailed and covered his face.The professor actively told everyone he met about giving away the coat.
"You should cover your stomach." The professor turned his head and suggested enthusiastically.
What Martin gave Nice was a variety of homemade jams and meat sauces, there were ten bottles of large and small, and Nice could take them back to school to eat.Chen Ou felt that if Nice was brought back, he would be laughed at as a sissy.Nice must have thought so too, he looked up to Chen Ou for support, his eyes full of prayers.
"What good food can you eat in a place like the North Pole? Look how thin you are!" Martin said distressedly, taking a moment to glance at Chen Ou.He always believed that it was an irresponsible performance of parents to let Niss go to school in a barren land like Analo.
Chen Ou coughed and said, "That's right, Nice, if it's not convenient for you to take it with you, I can send it back to the dormitory for you." In order to satisfy Martin's love, Chen Ou thought that Nice's decency could be sacrificed appropriately.The pleading in Nice's eyes turned to despair.
Chen Ou gave Nice a complete set of fitness equipment, which was placed in the corner of the living room, and both he and Nice could use it.Nice love it.
"I think I can't suspend training even when I come home. This set of equipment is so timely." Nice couldn't put it down, "I was hurt by Chen Ou last night, and my waist still hurts." He retaliated, not knowing what he said What a huge ambiguity.
Martin stared at Chen Ou, speechless, as if struck by lightning, but soon turned into uncontrollable wild laughter, his face turned purple.Nice had never seen Martin lose his composure like this.
Chen Ou mouthed to Martin, "Virgin, not sensible." He said silently, pointing to Nice.
"I can understand it!" Niss protested. He felt that it would be too stupid to refute that he was not a virgin with the fact that he had slept with three prostitutes, so he didn't say much.
The professor rested his hands on the arms of the wheelchair, did not watch them interact, and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Let's do breakfast prayer." Everyone laughed enough, Chen Ou announced.Nice was too hasty to go home and failed to prepare Christmas presents, and everyone was very considerate and didn't mention it.
The pre-dinner prayer at No. [-] Fenglin Avenue is different. Instead of quoting the Bible or praying to God, the professor will give a short speech on the theme of science or art.The professor raised his head, and his eyes flicked across the faces of Chen Ou, Nice, and Martin.
"Today, our theme is 'killing children'." The professor announced.
"What?" Martin widened his eyes, thinking that he must have heard wrong.
"Yes, kill your son. Christmas is the birthday of Jesus Christ. Jehovah sacrificed him to the world to redeem the sins of the world. So the topic we are discussing today is—killing your son."
"Not all parents in the biological world will take care of their children. For example, dolphins in nature have the phenomenon of killing their children." The professor said calmly, not missing the uneasy eyes exchanged between Chen Ou and Nice.
"Humans also have legends about killing their sons. For example, ancient Greek mythology. Some are in order to defend power. Powerful fathers are afraid of their sons, and kill their sons first. For example, the second generation of Olympia's main god, Cloros, swallowed all his children Some are for sacrifice, the father sacrificed his son to defend the faith. Some are for revenge, women kill their sons to achieve revenge on men, such as the famous Medea, when she found her husband betrayed her, she immediately killed Son, go far away. There are also fathers who love their sons because of ignorance or negligence, resulting in the death of their children."
"The bond of father and son has always been regarded as the most unbreakable bond, and is widely admired in popular literature and art. But through these myths, we can see that human beings are not so convinced of this knowledge. On the contrary, if they find themselves threatened , the most rational choice for a father is to kill his own son first." The professor analyzed in detail.
"We are all children of nature. Therefore, the premise of scientific research is not to offend our father of nature, otherwise we will suffer terrible revenge. Amen." Professor Chen Ou ended, handing the long-handled table knife to Niss, facing He gave an encouraging smile, "Come share the cake."
Chen Ou felt that his hands might tremble when Nice brought the cake dish to the professor, and he decided that he must have read it wrong.
The meal was hastily consumed by the people at the table, almost in awe.Chen Ou sighed in his heart, and was not surprised to see a slight smile on the professor's mouth.The professor was joking with Nice.Nice said something wrong, which created the illusion that Chen Ou had a relationship with him beyond father and son, so the professor confronted him and killed his son.Chen Ou felt that the atmosphere at home often suddenly became tense, and more than half of the reasons were due to the professor's weird sense of humor.
The communication watch "ding" was a notification from the postal company that the genetic samples and data of Lin's syndrome had been sent to the research institute.Chen Ou swallowed the food in his mouth, apologized to everyone, and explained that he would go to the research institute to work overtime.
"I'll go with you!" Niss jumped up and overturned his chair, refusing to admit that he was frightened by the professor's words.
☆、Chapter 33
Nice returned to normal when he got into the car, figured out that the professor was scaring him and joking, and began to complain: "The professor is ready to be violent at any time."
Chen Ou skillfully drove the car out of the garage, smiled at the rearview mirror, and said, "You can bear the gap between IQ and knowledge."
Nice soon became happy again, eager to try: "Can I drive a car?" Chen Ou drove an old car, which has long been extinct from the market, and Martin took good care of it.Nice stayed in the school for half a year and learned a lot about the car. Knowing that this car has a high status in the hearts of car fans, it is also a bragging capital after a test drive.
On Christmas morning, there was not a single car on the road from home to the institute.But Chen Ou refused: "You haven't reached the legal age to drive, forget it."
Nice complained dissatisfiedly: "The law is really inexplicable. You can't drive at the age of 16, but you can recruit prostitutes..." He caught a glimpse of Chen Ou looking over with unfriendly eyes, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
When he came to the research institute, Chen Ou stopped the car and said, "Don't bring up that matter again." He handed the car keys to Nice and said with a smile, "Go and help me park the car, soldier."
Nice parked the car neatly.Chen Ou opened the gate, took out the package in the delivery box, and told an anecdote: "All the old gentlemen in the research institute looked squinted and couldn't park the car straight. He didn't say that he was not good at technology, but complained that the parking space was too small, saying that there were parking spaces on both sides. It’s easy to calibrate when driving. So one day, my colleagues specially vacated an empty parking space for him with cars on both sides.”
Nice took the package from Chen Ou and asked, "Did he stop?"
Chen Ou said: "It's parked right, he drove the car into the parking space, boom-boom, it's parked right. But the two colleagues asked the car insurance company to pay a sum of money to repair the car."
Nice smiled.Chen Ou always has a way to make him happy, from childhood to adulthood.
Chen Ou opened the door of the laboratory and told Niss: "Don't touch the equipment, and don't touch the experimental animals." Niss nodded, knowing that it was all Chen Ou's hard work.
Chen Ou flipped through the information on Lin's syndrome, and his heart sank the more he read it.He knew that Lin's syndrome was a dominant inheritance, but he didn't know that the hereditary probability was so high.According to national data, if one parent carries the Lin syndrome genetic gene, the child will almost certainly carry the gene, and the chance of escaping is very small.People who carry this gene tend to develop one or more types of tumors in adulthood.
Fortunately, not all tumors are malignant.Even if it is a malignant tumor, as long as it is discovered in time and treated with surgery or symptomatic drugs, the patient's life can last for a long time.Chen Ou sighed, and he will increase the number of physical examinations within a year in the future.
Nice saw a strange cylindrical instrument, pointed to it and asked, "What is that?"
Chen Ou glanced at it and said, "The bone age tester can accurately measure your bone age, so that you can know your exact age. I tested it for you the first day I brought you back."
Nice looked at the instrument with great interest and asked, "Can I try it?"
The instrument is very easy to use, so Chen Ou agreed and taught Nice how to operate it.He rolled up his sleeves, drew half a tube of blood for himself, and started the test bench equipment to start the test.In fact, the results can be analyzed as well as saliva, but the results of genetic testing with blood are more accurate.The matter is of great importance, and Chen Ou feels that no matter how cautious he is, it cannot be overstated.
After a while, the genetic data was successfully obtained and entered into the central computer. The next step is to wait for the comparison results of these data and Lin's syndrome samples, which will take about a quarter of an hour.Taking advantage of this time, Chen Ou read the genetic mechanism of Lin's syndrome recorded in the data again, and felt more and more helpless.
Nice had a great time.He pressed ten fingers on the instrument respectively, and the displayed ages were all the same, accurate to the month.He said: "I turned out to be born in July!"
Chen Ou closed the document with a heavy heart, and gave up the last chance.Nice asked, "Would you like to try it too?"
Chen Ou really didn't measure his bone age.This instrument is really too simple. Compared with other precision equipment in the laboratory, it is simply the gap between a household scale and a supercomputer, and it is completely uninteresting to try it out.But Chen Ou didn't want to spoil Nice's interest, so he walked over.
He put his hand on the scan port, thinking about Lin's syndrome.Should I tell my professor now, or wait until I get sick?He doesn't want to add to the professor's worries, but he desperately needs his family's support right now.
With a ding, a line of numbers was displayed on the LCD screen.Nice said happily: "So you are 31 years old."
Chen Ou said absently: "What 31, I am 32."
Nice pointed to the LCD screen.Chen Ou glanced at it, and it said 31 years and one month.
His first reaction was that Nice did not calibrate the start date, but he immediately remembered that this instrument has a built-in wireless system, which can calibrate the time accuracy with the local observatory at any time.In the end, he came to his senses: simply measuring bone age does not use the function of date calibration at all.
He froze on the spot, speechless, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he said to himself: "No! This is impossible!"
Nice had never seen him like this before, and kindly suggested: "Is there something wrong with the instrument? Can you test it again?"
The realistic instinct of scientific researchers let Chen Ou know that Nice's guess was unreliable, but at this time the irrational side gained the upper hand in his heart.Chen Ou tested it again, and then again, over and over again, a total of ten times, and each time the result was the same.
Nice asked carefully: "Is there something wrong?" Chen Ou's complexion was beyond words.The sadness of being deceived, the anger of being betrayed, and the bewilderment after suddenly discovering the truth, all kinds of emotions are intertwined and vividly displayed on his face.
Chen Ou took a breath, and pointed to an ash wood frame hanging beside the table. Inside was a yellowed old newspaper, and the headline on the front page was the news of the tragic death of a couple of researchers in a laboratory fire.
************************************************** ************************
Report from our newspaper: On XX, XX, a fire broke out in the world's most famous local genetic research institute in the middle of the night. A couple of researchers died in order to save scientific research results.
"They are my most valued students. They have bold ideas and solid foundations. They have made some achievements in this field during their lifetime. I thought that the three of us could reach the pinnacle of genetic science research together." The institute injured in the fire The professor in charge said sadly in the ward that he was seriously injured in his leg because of rescuing laboratory data, and the doctor said that it would be difficult to recover.
Chen and his wife have no other relatives, only a one-year-old son in foster care in the countryside.They are so poor that they cannot pay local babysitters to look after their babies, so they have to leave their sons in the care of relatives.
************************************************** *******************
Nice looked at the news date, "Ah!" He got it.
According to Chen Ou's bone age, he was born a year after his parents died.This means that the professor lied to the interviewer at the time of the incident, and has maintained the same lie to Chen Ou for more than 30 years.
At this moment, the computer beeped, indicating that the comparison of genetic results was completed.
The analysis results on the screen showed that Chen Ou's gene had nothing to do with Lin's syndrome.He may still have various tumors, but the cause is definitely not Lin's syndrome.
☆、Chapter 34
"I can't believe that you haven't thought about measuring your own bone age for so many years. I mean, like you geek scientists, the first reaction when you get the instrument is to test it on yourself?" Charles said While driving, he asked Chen Ou in the back seat.After all, the bone age test is just cold data, and they are going to go to the hospital registered on Chen Ou's birth certificate to find out.
It was a private hospital, and it was the Christmas holiday, so inquiries unrelated to diagnosis and treatment were not accepted.However, the name of the Louis Group is very useful. Charles mentioned his father a little on the phone, and the director of the hospital agreed for them to visit.
"The instruments in the laboratory have no other functions except to measure bone age. Who would have nothing to do to remind themselves how old they are?" Chen Ou said wearily, he was still in shock after learning the truth.Ness put his arms around his shoulders tenderly.Officer Jones, who was in the passenger seat, searched the nearby roads with his mobile phone, but said nothing.
They drove all afternoon to arrive at the hospital, and met the shrewd dean.Charles mentioned several celebrities who he knew each other, and promised to invite one or two of them to the hospital's New Year's charity ball, then pointed to Chen Ou and said with a smile: "My friend was born in this hospital, he wants to come Revisit old places."
The dean nodded in understanding, and said, "It's rare for people to do this now, but it's indeed very commemorative."
Chen Ou said his name and the date of birth on his birth certificate.The dean led them to a row of wards.Through the glass window on the door, pregnant women and their accompanying relatives in the ward can be seen.The dean smiled and said: "This is a ward that has just been renovated, and the layout is the same as it was more than 30 years ago. The wallpaper is newly pasted, the floor has been resurfaced, and nothing else has changed. We are a private hospital, and the style is more traditional and nostalgic."
The four nodded in understanding.The dean introduced a head nurse with gray temples to them, and said: "Mrs. Johnson has worked in this hospital for nearly 40 years."
Chen Ou explained his intention to Mrs. Johnson.Mrs. Johnson watched his face carefully and shook her head.
"Son, you don't look like a mixed race. Your mother must be of Asian descent. The hospital you mentioned happened to be renovated in the year you mentioned, and only two wards were kept. I remember very clearly that we definitely did not accept Asian mothers."
"Perhaps the later year? You know, birth certificates sometimes get the date wrong. It's rare, but there are precedents." Charles asked.
Mrs. Johnson's gray eyes showed a stern expression, like a high school teacher treating a student who tried to cheat: "For more than 30 years, I have personally checked and signed all the birth certificates we provided to the police. I can't make a mistake."
Officer Jones, who had been silent for a while, asked, "Can we check the electronic file records of the babies born in those two years?"
Police Officer Jones spoke with a sense of majesty after staying in the power administrative agency for a long time. Mrs. Johnson looked at her suspiciously and said: "We only have simple information entered manually, and we have not scanned and photographed the entire set of patient files. Our funds There is a constant shortage of manpower."
Chen Ou asked: "Is the original paper file still there?"
Sure enough, Mrs. Johnson shook her head.
