He also couldn't accept the fact that he was an orphan, and what was even more unacceptable was that the good brother, the good sibling he thought he had, had no real relation to him at all.
For a moment, he felt like he had lost the whole world, as if the whole world had abandoned him.
Yet, the father who had raised him said those words, preventing him from petulantly forsaking the kinship at hand, and also preventing him from willfully falling away from this family.
He felt as if he were suspended in mid-air, unsure whether to climb up or to fall down.
Si Chengye stood up, walked over to him, and, hesitating for a moment, placed his hand on his shoulder, asking softly, "Si Xi, do you blame Dad for telling you the truth?"
He didn't know...
Blame him for revealing the truth, letting him know he was an orphan, letting him know he had no real connection to this family.
