Chapter 4
Something was wrong—after she had such doubts in her heart, she looked at the former speeches and reports that were extremely serious and full of friendship, and she really felt that the pink bubbles filled with sweetness were about to overflow.
Let's see what Mr. Su said...
"When I first arrived in Milan, the only thing I was thankful for was that Fernando was here."
"Who has the best relationship with me? Oh, Fernando, of course."
"I think Fernando is the one who understands me the most."
"Our relationship was already very close. After that, maybe it will be further? He is like a family member to me."
Dora really felt that after knowing that Mr. Su was willing to hand-made a heart-shaped music box for a mysterious brown-haired person, the more she saw Mr. Su's various things about Redondo, the more she felt that it was not a simple friendship.
As for the "X" written in Mr. Su's diary?To be honest, Dora is now more and more suspicious of whether that person is a shield specially written by Mr. Su...

"To be honest, Dora. I really don't understand why you are so persistent in finding the so-called 'truth' - I can see that you are not simply curious. Moreover, according to your behavior when Mr. Su was alive , you are not his old fan, are you?"
Facing Dora's behavior of "swearing to bury herself in past materials", Anders finally couldn't help asking his own questions.
"And... I really don't think Mr. Su's so-called 'lover' will be Prince Redondo. Are you...thinking too much? Don't put your imagination on others, Dora. After all, you are not Su Sir, you don't know whether he is really in love or just confused."
"I...I just..."
Dora opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but felt that the words were all stuck in her throat, so that she couldn't speak coherent sentences at all.
"Give me some more time, Anders. I'll tell you the whole story, but please give me some more time. Until then, please keep helping me and trusting me, okay?"
"...I always have nothing to do with you."

Three months later, Dora and Anders came to Madrid.
When the whole search process was deadlocked again, Dora thought of Madrid.
Maybe in Madrid, I can find the truth that is out of sight.After all... here is the club that Mr. Su has loved all his life, and it is also the place that Mr. Su regards as his hometown. ← This is what Dora was thinking before the flight to Madrid.
To Anders' surprise, Dora didn't go straight to the cemetery where Mr. Sue finally rests.Instead, Dora took Anders to a small church outside Madrid.
In the church, Dora, who finally had enough courage, fulfilled her promise—she told Andre everything.
About what happened on April 28, [-], why she was so sure that Mr. Su was lying; about why she seemed to regard Mr. Su as an ordinary star when he was alive, but she lost her composure after he died ; about what kind of mood she is doing now.
"That night, Mr. Su picked me who was raped in the alley. That day was April 27, and on the second and third days, he took care of me almost every step of the way."
"Mr. Su said that if his younger sister is still alive, she should be around my age. He said that he treats me as a younger sister, and if I want, I can also treat him as an older brother. Here, he is also here to enlighten me. Where I've been."
"It was he who erased my disgraceful past, gave me the courage to continue living and... the opportunity to continue learning. However, after I was able to fly by myself, I completely stayed away from him."
"I don't want to face my past, and Mr. Su didn't make it difficult for me—he was very cooperative with my alienation. Anders, now, do you understand?"
Dora took a deep breath and tried to control her tears: "I am not only for Mr. Su, but also for myself."
"It was like this before, and it's like this now..."
Dora's voice became faint, but Anders heard it clearly.
"I know, I know it all."
He looked into Dora's surprised eyes: "Mr. Su is very concerned about you... He found me after you and I got engaged. Of course he didn't tell me what you went through, he just told me that he regarded you as his sister Look, and then warn me to treat you well."
Dora stared at her boyfriend in astonishment, unable to believe what she heard.
"Brother..." She finally couldn't help hugging Anders, crying loudly.

Dora knew she shouldn't let Anders drive.
Isn't it such a short distance from the outskirts of Madrid to the city? Such an obvious road, this guy can still get lost! ! !Anders, how crazy are you! ! !
Just facing Anders' eyes of "I tried my best to believe in me, Dora", Dora silently swallowed all the complaints and depression in her stomach.
Dora, who parked the car and carefully looked at the map to determine where she was, was forced by Anders to look out the window.
Dora, who was a little annoyed because she was about to confirm the location but was interrupted halfway, looked in the direction Anders pointed, and that trace of anger was immediately replaced by surprise and curiosity.
There is a house there.The appearance is very simple, just appearing here, a little bit abrupt.
Dora's eyes were stuck to the house and she couldn't get up and down.
This house is so similar to Mr. Su's house where she lived temporarily.
No, according to the location shown on the map, this is Mr. Su's home - if Mr. Su has not moved in the past ten years.
Occasionally, Dora took Anders by the hand and approached the house.
With his back to the gate, he found the third pot with his left hand in a row of small potted plants placed on the courtyard wall. When Duo stretched his hand to touch the bottom, he touched a hard metal thing—that was the way to enter the house. the key.
Dora suddenly felt her nose sore.
It turns out that after so long, what Mr. Su said still counts - the spare key is always under the third pot on the left.
Seven
With the key, entering the house is a very easy task.
On the coffee table in the living room, unfinished picture albums are randomly placed, colorful notes are pasted on the refrigerator door, withered roses are inserted in the vase on the dining table, and well-made shell wind chimes are hung at the entrance of the stairs.
The state of the whole house is as if the owner is away temporarily so there is no one in it-if you ignore the fact that there is no food in the refrigerator, and the accumulation of dust.
Those who didn't go upstairs, the biggest achievement on the first floor was that they found an address lined with a red pen in a small notebook spread out on the sofa, and the note "Southeast corner, near the periphery" written next to the address.
Looking at the map, they found... that address seems to be near the chapel they visited just now? !
Eight
It was a small cemetery.
They found two tombstones on the periphery of the southeast corner.
On the tombstone, the names of Mr. Su's father and mother are engraved.
The old man guarding the tomb walked over, chattering about that the couple's children used to come every other month, and that the black-haired child came with a companion in the past two years.
He said it was a pity that the man and his blond companion hadn't been here since last July.
He said that he has seen this kind of situation too much, and the dead will be forgotten one day.
Dora held Anders' hand, cold all over.
nine
They returned to Madrid.
Early the next morning, Dora and Anders visited the cemetery again with two bouquets of flowers.
They put flowers on the grave of Mr. Su's parents, and then entered Mr. Su's house again.
Blonde hair, so obvious hints.
Dora brushed the dust off the note pasted on the refrigerator, looked at the name "David" in Mr. Su's familiar handwriting, and couldn't help laughing at her own stupidity in the past.
She picked up the other notes that had been scattered around the refrigerator because of the disappearing stickiness, and read them one by one without missing a word.
On the last sticky note, it says "7.19, TV cabinet".
Dora didn't understand what this meant, so she did a very rude thing - she opened the TV cabinet.Of course, before that, Anders had already been driven back to the car to get water by Dora's excuse of being thirsty.
She found two gift boxes.
A photo embedded in a crystal photo frame lay quietly in the flat box.In the obviously composite photo, the little Mr. Su aggressively hugged the little Beckham and kissed him.
There is a line written on the back of the photo.
"I missed your past, but I will accompany you to the future."
Dora closed the box.
Another box was wrapped in honey-colored wrapping paper.
Dora did not take it apart.She just dusted it off with a paper towel, letting the line, "To Dear David," reveal itself.
Ten
After Anders came in, they began to think hard about how to get the leftover gift into the right hands.
Then Dora had an idea.
She dialed Mr. Su's phone number.
The person who responded, after hearing Dora's self-introduction, said with a smile that he was Beckham, and said that you are Dora.
Then Dora really believed everything about Mr. Su and Beckham—if she knew about her own existence, what secret would there be between them?
According to the address given by Beckham, she came to a certain villa in England.
The moment Beckham opened the door, Dora froze.
