House seemingly endless rain.

At this moment, the sound of the doorbell was heard outside the apartment.

Kitagawa smacked his lips impatiently and saw the man outside through the peephole. He had a camera hanging around his neck. As if he had guessed that the man inside would use the peephole, he smiled and raised his press card:

"Mr. Kitagawa! I know you're inside. I'm Tanaka, a reporter for the Weekly Entertainment Live of the Hoyunsha. I've been waiting outside this apartment for a whole day. Could you please accept the interview?"

Kitagawa Jin was in a bad mood and didn't want to face the interview with reporters. Just as he was about to leave, the reporter Tanaka outside suddenly shouted again:

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not here to interview you about Beichuan Liang. This matter is very important to you. It's already related to a man's dignity!"

Kitagawa Jin paused. Almost all the headlines now reported news about Kitagawa Ryo and them. It was the first time he saw a reporter publicly declare that the content of the interview was not about this aspect, and he also kept saying that it was something very important to him personally.

Man's dignity

This description instantly reminded Kitagawa of something bad. He squinted his eyes, opened the door of the apartment, and said coldly to reporter Tanaka outside the door:

"Come in."

"Excuse me, but it seems I have the best luck. After all, you own thirteen apartments in downtown Tokyo alone."

Reporter Tanaka walked into the living room cautiously, then asked with his back bent:

"Excuse me, is Mrs. Kitagawa here?"

"She's sleeping upstairs."

Kitagawa Shin had no intention of entertaining the guests. He sat on the sofa by himself and looked at Tanaka with a sidelong glance:

"Please make clear what you just said."

"Well, in the past half month, I have conducted a series of investigations on your wife, Mrs. Kitagawa Tomiko."

Reporter Tanaka smiled and took out a whole stack of documents from his arms:

"Considering that you are probably in a rather urgent mood right now, Mr. Kitagawa, I will just tell you the final conclusion."

"Your daughter, Kitagawa Rumi, is most likely not your biological child."

"It's a little hard to believe. I guess this is the key reason why my predecessors didn't verify it. The child's biological father is not much older than your adopted son."

The moment these two sentences came out, reporter Tanaka noticed the change in the atmosphere.

He tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart and tried to make his request calmly.

Fortunately, he had finally found such explosive news, but when he was about to submit it to the editorial department, the incident in which Kitagawa Ryo accused his adoptive parents came out of nowhere and directly dominated the headlines of all newspapers.

Compared with this news, the news in his hand that Kitagawa Tomiko is likely to have cheated and given birth to a child is completely insignificant. Under the current public opinion trend, it is estimated that Kitagawa Ryo's fans will only use it as another tool to attack the couple.

Therefore, compared to exposure, reporter Tanaka hoped to make a deal with Kitagawa Susumu through this incident. He knew the amount of assets of the Kitagawa family, and even if the other party slipped a little through their fingers, it would be enough for him, a small reporter, to fill his stomach.

After all, no man wants to be known by people who spread the news that he wears a hat.

But Tanaka obviously underestimated Kitagawa Susumu.

In the more than ten years before adopting Beichuan Liang, he had been troubled by the fact that he had no children, and it had almost become an obsession for more than ten years.

He still remembers how he felt after learning that Kitagawa Tomiko was confirmed to be pregnant. He also remembers the scene of holding his daughter in front of the delivery room and being surrounded by congratulations.

Kitagawa Jin looked at the evidence that reporter Tanaka had collected over the past few days one by one. He read very slowly, but he finally finished it.

Just as reporter Tanaka was stammering and moving his lips to prepare to speak out his trading plan, Kitagawa Susumu picked up the ashtray from the table before him and smashed it on the top of Tanaka's head without hesitation.

Tanaka, who was stunned by the blow, jumped up in panic almost instinctively. He fled out of the apartment in a panic. Kitagawa Jin threw the ashtray in his hand far away, hitting him on the back. He staggered, but Tanaka still rushed out of the apartment with one breath.

It only takes one bad day for an adult to have a meltdown.

Kitagawa Jin did not chase after him. It was as if there was a problem with the meshing of one of the gears in his head, and his thoughts were stuck and unable to move.

When he came to his senses, he had already strangled his wife's neck.

Put your hands on your neck and tighten it with all your strength.

It was not some kind of romantic interest between husband and wife, but a real effort of all his strength. The sleeping Kitagawa Tomiko didn't even put up any decent resistance. She gradually rolled her eyes. She didn't die, she just fainted.

Kitagawa Jin tied her up with a rope and carried her to the underground parking lot.

If possible, the place he wanted to go most right now was his home, and put his hands around the child's neck like he did just now.

But there was no way, the place must have been surrounded by people.

The stuck gear turned.

Kitagawa Jin remembered the name he had seen in the information. He stuffed the woman into the back seat, found a high-powered stun gun for self-defense at home, and started the car himself.

About thirty minutes later, he drove into the city, bought a bottle of white wine at a roadside convenience store, and drove to Shenmu Guang's home.

"Hello, community staff, nearby residents reported that there was a problem with the sewer pipe in this area. Can you open the door?"

Kitagawa Susumu, who has been a second-rate actor all his life, gives an impeccable performance at this moment.

The moment the other party opened the door, Kitagawa Jin took out the stun gun hidden in his hand.

After confirming that Kamiki Mitsuru was unconscious, Kitagawa Susumu carried him into the car.

Beichuan Jin himself didn't know where he was driving. He drove out of the city and onto the highway. The moon was hanging above his head and a few stars were flashing cold light at the end of the road, as if guiding him to a strange planet.

Occasionally other car lights would pass by him, blooming and then extinguishing like fireworks.

As if he was finally tired, Kitagawa Jin parked the car on the side of the road. He took out the bottle of white wine from the passenger seat and drank it down with noisy gulps. Most of the wine flowed down his cheeks and throat into the car, but the liquid he swallowed still choked him and made his throat and stomach burn, as if it was burning.

So Kitagawa Jin got out of the car, opened the back door, and kicked Kitagawa Tomiko to wake her up. Her mouth was sealed with tape, so she could only make whimpering sounds.

Kitagawa Jin raised the corner of his mouth towards the woman. He held the empty bottle of white wine in his hand as if he was holding some cold and sharp weapon. Under Kitagawa Tomiko's horrified gaze, Kitagawa Jin took off Shenmu Guang's pants and stuffed the bottle in little by little.

When this process lasted for one-fifth of the time, Shenmu Guang had actually woken up, but Beichuan Jin had completely controlled him. The stun gun was pressed on his body over and over again, and no matter how he struggled, he could not stop the ongoing process.

After the whole process was over, like a child filling up his piggy bank with the last coin, Kitagawa Jin held his stomach and laughed out loud, even a little out of breath.

Then, Kitagawa Susumu took out a lighter from his pocket.

He whistled briskly and threw the lit lighter into the car.

Just when Kitagawa Jin was about to turn around and leave drunkenly, Shenmu Guang, who seemed to have no ability to move, endured the pain, hugged his legs from behind and threw him to the ground.

Under the influence of white wine, the fire in the car had spread.

Kitagawa Jin tried his best to get rid of Shenmu Guang's entanglement, but after choking on a few mouthfuls of thick smoke, he no longer had the strength to struggle and was dragged back into the car by Shenmu Guang.

Seeing Shenmu Guang limping and trying to escape, Beichuan Jin gritted his teeth and reached out to hug Shenmu Guang tightly, wrapping his thighs around his waist and locking the other's movements with his whole body.

I no longer have the energy to roar.

Two extremely exhausted people were entangled and fighting with each other.

Until the increasingly fierce fire completely engulfed the two of them.

-------------------------------------

[At 3 a.m. on the 24th, after receiving a call from the public, our city's fire brigade found a burning car near a suburban highway. After emergency rescue, the fire was completely extinguished. Three dead bodies were found in the car. After investigation, it was confirmed that the three dead bodies were the well-known drama actor Kitagawa Jin and his wife, and the actor Shenmu Guang from the LALALAI troupe. The three had no other injuries except for a laceration in Shenmu Guang's anorectal area.]

Reporter Tanaka saw the news in the hospital.

Having narrowly escaped death at the hands of Kitagawa Susumu, he looked gloomily at the photos of the scene exposed on the Internet. The three bodies had been burned to charcoal, but the most striking thing was that two of the charred bodies were still in a posture of hugging each other tightly, with shoulders against each other and heads touching.

Like a couple in love.

A strange idea suddenly came into his mind.

That was an idea that would make him feel better than revealing the news that Kitagawa Susumu was framed.

Reporter Tanaka wrote the title of his report:

《Shocked! The truth behind the death of famous actor Kitagawa Susumu is actually——》

A day later, the tabloid began to spread virally on the Internet.

Because what Tanaka described was so explosive:

Kitagawa Susumu is a homosexual, and his marriage to Kitagawa Tomiko is actually a marriage of convenience. He has not dared to come out publicly due to the pressure of public opinion. Instead, he forced Kitagawa Tomiko to give birth to a child through artificial insemination. However, due to the outbreak of the Kitagawa Ryo incident, the couple's marriage could no longer continue, and Kitagawa Tomiko threatened to expose the fact that Kitagawa Susumu is a homosexual.

Kitagawa Jin, who was not understood, chose the most extreme way to protest to the society. He kidnapped his wife, communicated with his lover Kamiki Mitsuru in front of his wife, and then the two hugged each other and set a fire to commit suicide.

This is also the reason why among the three bodies, Kitagawa Susumu and Kamiki Mitsuru were entangled like a couple, and why Kamiki Mitsuru had a laceration in his anus and rectum.

As soon as this report came out, the LGBT community quickly followed suit.

On the second day, rainbow parades broke out on the streets across the country. The marchers marched through the streets holding up signs that read "LOVE IS LOVE" and temporarily photoshopped intimate photos of Kitagawa Susumu and Kamiki Hikaru.

Some people in the group even suggested setting the day when the two committed suicide as a memorial day.

There was a lot of excitement.

-------------------------------------

"I didn't expect that in the end, I would still leave you to me, Ruby?"

Kitagawa Ryo looked down at his sister Kitagawa Rumi who was sent to his house.

He smiled and picked up this non-blood-related sister.

The childhood is over.

Confusion and worries all disappear.

The goal to move towards has been determined, and that is enough.

I will follow that path and reach the future that I am destined to reach one day.

It’s like stepping onto a brand new stage.

"This is the best ending for you and me."

"Ruby."

The child in her arms giggled, she opened her arms, and her ruby ​​eyes revealed complete attachment:

"Brother--Dear."

Chapter 19: My Sister

Two years later.

As an old parent-child variety show that has been broadcast in China for nearly 2 years, "Chuqian" focuses on the real-life scenario of [a child going out shopping alone for the first time]. The program team will select and secretly record the experiences of children aged 7 to who go out for the first time to help their family run errands and buy things. Because of its warm and down-to-earth selection and shooting techniques, its popularity in China has remained high.

MEM啾, who is seven years old this year, is also one of the loyal audiences of this parent-child variety show. She thought about becoming an idol or an actor when she was very young, and even spent a long time thinking about a stage name for herself. In the end, she chose the name MEM啾 because she thought it would sound very cute when she said it.

In fact, MEM啾 has also fantasized that one day she would be selected by the production team of the variety show "初出发", and she was confident that she would perform very well and greatly attract the audience's attention. However, as she grows older and is about to turn eight, it seems that her chances are getting slimmer and slimmer.

Because her mother was already coaxing her two younger brothers to sleep, MEM啾 specifically turned down the volume of the TV. Her family is also a single-parent family, and her mother raised her and her two younger brothers alone. It can be said that since she was very young, MEM啾 has been helping with some of the housework, such as going out shopping in the program [初出], and she can even say that she is used to it and can do it quite familiarly.

This is also one of the reasons why she hopes the program crew can come to her home. In order to ensure the safety of the children, the [First Dispatch] program crew usually chooses to communicate with nearby residents in advance, and also sends twenty or thirty staff members to play passers-by or police. But even with such preparations, most three or four-year-old children will still cry loudly or be at a loss on the road.

That's why MEM啾 feels that he can definitely do better than them.

Not only did she do the shopping, she even picked up her two younger brothers after kindergarten. She had gotten used to holding her younger brothers' hands, moving freely through the walls formed by parents and cars, and easily bringing the two little ones home.

Just when MEM啾 was making such an association, the TV commercials finally ended and the new episode of [初示] officially started.

"This kid today may be different from the ones in the past."

A familiar narration voice began to sound, and the guests in the commentary booth had already managed their facial expressions. It seemed that they were able to open their eyes and mouths at any time and say exclamation words such as kawaii, kaku, and so on in an exaggerated tone.

Accompanied by the cheerful tone of the program's original song "Dora Mi Fa No Problem", the camera finally pulled to an apartment and aimed at a little girl who was watching TV.

Next to her, her name and age were quickly subtitled:

【Kitagawa Rumi, three years and two months old. 】

“Kawaii! (So cute)”

As if it had been prepared for a long time, there were instant exclamations of kawaii from the commentary booth, but this time the MEM啾 in front of the TV didn't feel disgusted, because the girl with her head slightly tilted in the camera was indeed cute and worthy of praise.

The golden hair color makes her look like a mixed-race. Perhaps because she is not old enough, her hair only reaches her shoulders. Her pupils are a striking red, large and bright. Her little face has a little baby fat, which makes people have a strong urge to pinch it.

But I always feel that I have heard the other person's name somewhere before.

With such doubts, MEM啾 held up his face and read on with great interest.

"Hey, Ruby, we're out of soy sauce at home, go buy some."

At this time, from the screen, another boy about 11 or 12 years old came out from the kitchen. As MEM opened his mouth wide, the program team also typed his name to the audience with a fierce sound effect:

[Ryo Kitagawa, Kitagawa Rumi's brother, a well-known drama and film actor]
