Chapter 40 Physical Examination: Speculation about Lin Zhi's Background
Lu Wang stared at the two photos. Perhaps it was because he was young; most children look pretty much the same.
He went to see Lin Zhi again. Lin Zhi was focused on pasting photos. Every time she got a photo of Lin Wu, she would look at it for a long time before carefully pasting it into the album.
Could it be that Lin Zhi's mother looks a lot like him?
He looked at Lin Zhi's profile. The little guy's serious expression gave him the strongest sense of familiarity. He paused for a moment, thinking it must be a coincidence.
He asked Chu Lan, "Chu Lan, do you think Lin Zhi and I are alike?"
Chu Lan rolled her eyes inwardly, but said without hesitation, "No, Zhizhi looks just like my brother."
Of course Lu Wang knew? Lin Zhi was like Lin Wu.
He looked at the photo Lin Zhi posted, waited silently for a while, and then asked Lin Zhi, "How old are you this year?"
Lin Zhi looked away from the photo album, feeling that the creditor had been provoking him all day.
"I'm five years old!"
Lu Wang: "..."
"Tsk, where did this five-year-old come from?"
Lin Zhi's eyes widened. "I am five years old."
Lu Wang looked at Chu Lan.
Chu Lan said in a flat tone, "He's three and a half years old."
Lu Wang then looked at Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi disagreed; he was no longer three and a half years old.
"I'm not three and a half years old, I'm five!"
Chu Lan thought Lin Zhi was going to reveal the truth, but Lin Zhi still insisted that he was five years old.
He made up a random sentence, "He is three years, seven months and three days old."
Lin Zhi retorted, "I'm not!"
He said very solemnly, "I'm not!"
He is four years and one month old, not three years and a few months plus three days.
"I am......"
"Zhizhi."
Ji Tinghe's voice rang out from outside, and Lin Zhi immediately looked over, "Hehe?"
Ji Tinghe pushed open the door and smiled gently, "Zhizhi, would you like some small cakes? Not the kind with cream, but the soft kind, a local specialty. We're lucky today; they're usually sold out here, they're hard to find."
The emphasis was placed on the words "difficult" and "unique".
Upon hearing that it was a specialty and hard to buy, Lin Zhiyi immediately nodded vigorously, "I'll eat it! I'll eat it! Hehe, you're so kind."
Ji Tinghe asked softly, "Lemon flavor or blueberry flavor?"
Lin Zhi quickly said, "Lemon, lemon!"
Chu Lan, standing next to Lin Zhi, frowned slightly. Coincidence?
Ji Tinghe just stopped Zhizhi from speaking.
Ji Tinghe looked at the remaining two people and asked with a smile, "Would you two like some food?"
Chu Lan: "...Eat."
Whatever the coincidence, "Does it taste like strawberry? Thank you."
"Yes?" Ji Tinghe answered, then looked at Lu Wang, "Where is President Lu?"
Lu Wang looked at Ji Tinghe, then at Lin Zhi, and finally said, "Blueberry, thank you."
Ji Tinghe: "Okay."
After saying that, he went out.
Now that there were only three people left in the room, Lu Wang asked Lin Zhi, "What were you about to say?"
Lin Zhi tilted her head: "Huh?"
Oh, he remembered, "I'm five years old, five years old!"
Lu Wang: "..."
never mind.
"How many more are there?"
Chu Lan glanced at them. "A dozen or so."
He didn't print many; he only printed individual photos of Lin Zhi and his brother. He planned to reprint the rest and make them into an album to give to his brother, so that he and his brother would each have one.
Lu Wang checked the time; it was almost eleven o'clock. Finishing printing would be just in time for lunch. Ji Tinghe had bought some small cakes. Lin Zhi was going to eat less for lunch today. He asked Lin Zhi what she wanted for lunch, and he would have someone prepare it.
Lin Zhi rattled off a long list of dishes.
Lu Wang looked at Lin Zhi quietly.
Lin Zhi innocently replied, "After getting my teeth filled, I can't eat these things anymore."
Lu Wang: "You just can't eat it tonight and tomorrow."
Lin Zhimian reluctantly reduced two dishes; there really couldn't be any fewer.
Lu Wang: "...This is a one-time thing. There are a lot of people today, and you ordered a lot of food. There are people who can help you eat. You can only eat one bite of each item at most."
Lin Zhi laughed and hugged Lu Wang affectionately, saying, "You're so good to me, my creditor."
Lu Wang looked down at someone. Was he better now?
When I was angry with him this morning, I didn't think he was a good person at all.
Lin Zhi looked up and grinned foolishly: "Hey."
Lu Wang withdrew his gaze and decided to let it go.
Seeing that the creditor had been appeased, Lin Zhi let go and continued posting the photos. This was a huge project, and he didn't trust anyone else to do it. He insisted on personally posting Wuwu's photos.
Back at the table, he began pasting photos.
Lu Wang stood behind Lin Zhi, taking the opportunity to look at the photos. There were no photos from her university days, only photos from junior high, high school, and elementary school.
However, there were quite a few photos of Lin Wu during her university years. They were taken secretly, encountered by chance, and appeared in various places such as school forums, confession walls, and any event. However, almost all of those photos were not clear, only showing a side profile or a back view, or photos taken from a distance. You could see her features but not in detail.
Putting aside these photos, Lin Wu joined clubs during her university years for credits and scholarships, and also took quite a few photos. These are all clear, but not as real. Lin Wu has her own way of presenting herself to outsiders, unlike the real photos taken by Lin Zhi.
Lu Wang waited for Lin Zhi to finish processing all the photos before carrying her out.
Chu Lan glanced at it and followed.
Just then, Ji Tinghe returned with some small cakes. Lin Zhi glanced at them and couldn't take her eyes off them, calling out, "Hehe, Hehe."
Ji Tinghe gently patted Lin Zhi's head, "How about we eat together when we eat?"
Lin Zhi stared at the small cake, his nose twitching. He seemed to still smell the lemon. He nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay."
Others watching this scene clearly understood that Lin Zhi had finished.
Chen Yantao asked, "Zhizhi, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Lin Zhi immediately recited the recipe again.
Lu Wang: "I've made the reservation, let's go."
Chen Yantao gave Lu Wang a deep look, but ultimately said nothing.
Jian Yi had no problem at all. He had figured it out in the past few days: with Lu Wang's arrival, there was no way he could survive. Going against Lu Wang would likely result in retaliation.
He just wants to see his senior occasionally and exchange a few words with him.
Chu Lan came out and looked around, finding Ruan Mian sleeping in a corner.
"Ruan Mian, an idol?"
Ruan Mian slowly opened her eyes: "Is it time?"
Chu Lan nodded.
Ruan Mian glanced at his watch. He had been waking up and sleeping for about two hours.
"Master, please help me out."
Chu Lan helped Ruan Mian up.
Ruan Mian stood up but met Lin Zhi's gaze. He sighed, "You have so much energy."
Lin Zhi leaned on the creditor's shoulder and shook his head at Ruan Mianmian, thinking that Ruan Mianmian would definitely starve to death if left in the villa.
The two people simultaneously praised each other's energy/ability.
Lin Zhi didn't dare let Ruan Mianmian hug him; Ruan Mianmian... was useless.
He asked Ruan Mianmian, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Ruan Mian: "What do you want to eat?"
Lin Zhi named the dishes again, and Ruan Mian pondered for a while before adding two more dishes.
Lin Zhi: "Okay."
Ruan Mian reached out and perfunctorily shook Lin Zhi's hand, "Do you take a nap during the afternoon?"
Lin Zhi: "Sleeping."
I used to sleep in the car.
Ruan Mian: "That's good."
Lin Zhi, relying on the fact that he was being held high by the creditor, reached out and touched the soft head, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of you."
Ruan Mian lazily lifted her eyelids: "Okay, then you're my best friend."
Lin Zhi was pleased. Soft and fluffy hair was really soft, unlike Wu Wu's. Soft and fluffy hair was like wool.
He also took care of his friend today.
Lu Wang listened to their pointless conversation, then picked up the person and left.
During the meal, Lin Zhi generously shared half of his mini cake with Ruan Mian; the mini cake was truly delicious.
Ruan Mian looked at the small cake, then at the dishes in front of Lin Zhi, and understood that Lin Zhi couldn't eat anymore.
Greedy, wanting to eat every dish, but a person is only so big. Although the cake is called a small cake, it is actually quite large, especially for Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi couldn't eat another bite. Wu Wu had said that if he ate any more, his stomach would burst and he wouldn't be able to eat anything at all.
Ruan Mian: "Thank you, Lin Zhi."
Lin Zhi laughed, "Hey."
Because the creditor and Uncle Xiao both had some, and Brother Jianyi also had some. Uncle Chen didn't eat any, and Ruanmianmian was sleeping. Hehe didn't know what flavor Ruanmianmian wanted to eat, so he didn't buy any for her.
He gave it to him.
Lin Zhi waited for Ruan Mianmian to finish eating, then asked happily, "How was it?"
Ruan Mian glanced at it. He rarely ate lemon-flavored cakes; he preferred sweet ones. Lemon-flavored cakes were sweet and sour, but Lin Zhi's question clearly indicated that Lin Zhi loved lemon-flavored cakes.
"It's sweet and sour, soft and chewy, with a refreshing lemon flavor that's very invigorating. The milk and egg flavors in the cake are perfectly balanced. This shop really knows how to make cakes."
Lin Zhi nodded in agreement, "You have good taste."
Ruan Mian smiled, "I think so too."
Chu Lan also agreed, saying that Ruan Mian had an exceptional talent and eye for food.
The novel is very well written, with a fresh and original concept.
Her talent for eating is just as strong as her talent for creating.
Looking at the two of them, Lu Wang thought, "Only Ruan Mian can get along with Lin Zhi."
He checked the time; it was almost time.
"Let's go."
The group got into the car, which drove straight back to the villa.
Lu Wang: "He wants to take a nap, and we'll leave for the hospital at 2:30 sharp."
The others had no objections, especially Ruan Mian, who could finally rest; it was really uncomfortable to be curled up on the small sofa.
Chu Lan also relaxed slightly. He was actually sleepy, but he was able to hold it in.
Lu Wang looked at his phone. Lin Wu said, "He's not coming."
He carried Lin Zhi to wash up, then tucked her into the blankets and coaxed her to sleep.
After Lin Zhi finished washing up, he lay on the bed clutching the blanket and asked, "Ex-Dad, why you? Where's Wuwu?"
Even Wuwu needs to take a nap.
Lu Wang didn't even glance at him: "If you call me 'ex-father' again, you'll only get porridge tonight."
Lin Zhi quieted down, and after a while he asked, "Creditor, won't Wuwu sleep with me?"
Lu Wang reached out and ruffled Lin Zhi's hair haphazardly. "You're at work, but you're not at work in the afternoon."
Lin Zhi: "Huh?"
Is he still working?
Isn't it only during the evenings when you're shooting with the photographers outside?
Lu Wang pointed to the machine over there. Although he would have the machine turned off whenever Lin Wu came, it was still running normally now that Lin Wu wasn't there.
"What we film today will be on TV tomorrow. We only don't film when Wuwu is around."
Lin Zhi immediately stopped asking questions and obediently went to sleep.
After Lin Zhi fell asleep, Lu Wang took out the photo album that Lin Zhi had organized that day and looked at it.
I looked at each photo for a long time.
Ah, the unripe forest mist.
Lin Wu must have been very happy back then, because her grandmother was still alive, and everything was still there.
Photos of Lin Wu, who is the same age as Lin Zhi, show that she comes from a wealthy family. The photos also reveal the love that Lin Wu's family has for her.
He's been walking alone for so long, and he's persevered through all of that.
There will be no more unhappy things in the future.
Lu Wang flipped to the page with his photo; five photos were pasted on it. He touched Lin Zhi's photo and turned to look at Lin Zhi.
He really looks like him.
Realizing this, he looked at Lin Zhi again and discovered that the other person's bone structure was almost exactly the same as his.
If he grows a little older and his features become more defined, he will look even more like him.
Lu Wang closed the photo album. Who exactly is Lin Zhi's mother?
How could Lin Zhi look so much like him?
He thought back carefully. His mother had died early. He and his father looked nothing alike. He couldn't remember his mother's brothers. He seemed to have some, but he didn't. His maternal grandparents were both remarried. They were both quite old when they got married. They only raised his mother as their only child.
Before that, he didn't know that both elderly people had passed away peacefully.
Could it be that Lin Zhihe has some connection in this regard?
He took out his phone to ask someone.
He didn't care at first; he would treat Lin Zhi as his own child, no matter whose child it was. The little guy got along well with him, and he liked him.
But if it's related to his conjecture... let's still pay attention to it.
He can't let go, so we should take precautions.
Three and a half years old, that's the year Lin Wu disappeared. Could something else have happened that year?
The results came quickly.
Chi Xun's family knew about these things. Chi Xun's grandmother and maternal grandmother were best friends and had been playing together since childhood. His maternal grandfather was their childhood friend.
Almost as soon as he asked Chi Xun, Chi Xun sent him a message.
Chi Xun: [It has nothing to do with what you're thinking. I already asked my mom for you.]
Your maternal grandmother had a child when she was young, your eldest uncle, who was sixteen years older than your mother, but the child died young. Your maternal grandfather was married when he was young, but he never had any children.
Chi Xun: [I had someone check, and Lin Wu didn't leave Lin City or look for you during the time she returned there. It doesn't match up.]
Lu Wang looked at the message and wondered what it meant that Lin Wu hadn't gone to see him. Could it be that Lin Wu had gone to see him and that Lin Zhi was his child?
Who gave birth?
Has Chi Xun forgotten that he and Lin Wu are both men?
Chi Xun continued to send messages.
[We can't find out when Lin Wu returned to Lin City. What we can find is that Lin Zhi was already by his side when he returned. Before that, all of Lin Wu's whereabouts are unknown. Either Lin Wu is completely useless with modern technology, or someone has tampered with his records.]
Lin Zhi's birth record could not be found at the hospital in Lincheng.
Lu Wang: [His full name is Lin Lu.]
Chi Xun: 【...You seem quite proud.】
Lu Wang raised an eyebrow. "Otherwise?"
Lin Zhi's name is Lin Lu, Lu!
Lu Wang: [Why are you investigating Lin Wu?]
Chi Xun: [? ? ?]
Lu Wang: [I'm asking you.]
Chi Xun: [Are you blind? Can't you see how much Lin Zhi looks like you?]
Lu Wang: ......
He hadn't noticed it before.
He always felt that Lin Zhi was familiar, but he couldn't quite grasp that sense of familiarity.
If he hadn't seen the photos today, he wouldn't have realized that Lin Zhiqi actually looks like him.
Chi Xun: [You really didn't notice?]
Lu Wang was displeased.
[To conclude.]
Is Chi Xun over there? I typed furiously.
The conclusion is that Lin Zhi's background is a mystery. He looks like you, and he looks like Lin Wu. As for the rest, we don't know. Having ruled out all other possibilities, the only conclusion I can draw is that you are his father. As for how he came to be, you should ask Lin Wu yourself.
[No, if you care so much, why don't you just ask Lin Wu? He knows better than anyone how Lin Zhi came to be.]
Lu Wang: [We haven't reunited yet.]
He pressed Lin Zhi about her background as if he cared deeply about it.
Although he does care, this concern is just jealousy; once he says it out loud, it turns into resentment.
Lin Wu didn't take the initiative to tell him that he definitely had feelings for her. Perhaps he didn't know how to say it, or perhaps he really couldn't bring himself to say it. He didn't want his concern to cause Lin Wu unnecessary trouble.
If he hadn't discovered today that Lin Zhi looked like him, he wouldn't have investigated this matter. He would have let things take their course, and with time, Lin Zhi would eventually be willing to talk.
But since Lin Zhi looks like him, he has to think more, fearing that some dramatic situation might arise and he might not be able to nip it in the bud, which would only cause more trouble later.
Chi Xun's words put his mind at ease; as long as no ethical issues were involved, things would be fine.
Chi Xun sent another message.
[I didn't investigate in detail, but I know you're unhappy, and he doesn't like it either. That's all I know. But Lu Wang, I'm betting that Lin Zhi is your child; there's no other possibility.]
Lu Wang: [Are you so engrossed in reading novels that you've gone mad? Who's the father? Have you forgotten that Lin Wu and I are both men?]
Chi Xun: [What if there's a second gender?]
Lu Wang: [。]
Chi Xun: [I forgot, you two were together before. If it was your child, you couldn't possibly not know.]
After seeing this message, Lu Wang completely gave up on continuing the conversation with Chi Xun.
He checked the time; Lin Zhi was about to wake up.
Touching Lin Zhi's head, the little guy really does look a lot like him.
But how did it come about?
Has technology reached this point yet?
It's like a clone of him and Lin Wu.
Of course, he knew... did he not? have? this thing?
While Lu Wang was thinking, Lin Zhi opened her eyes, rolled around in the blanket, and then sat up energetically. "Good afternoon, creditor."
Lu Wang: "Don't you ever have a moment when you need to be sober?"
Lin Zhi looked at the creditor with suspicion. "When did you become sober?"
Lu Wang: "This doesn't seem like Wuwu at all."
Lin Wu has a period of clear-headedness after waking up. She is very groggy when she first wakes up and it takes a while before she is fully awake.
Lin Zhi picked up the little duck and got up, "Hmph."
They actually said he doesn't look like Wuwu? The creditor has absolutely no taste.
Lu Wang got out of bed, carried Lin Zhi off the bed and dressed her, then cleaned the bed. He and Lin Zhi had slept in Lin Zhi's room for lunch today.
Lin Zhi didn't want to sleep in his room, so she went over with a photo album.
After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Lin Zhi looked at the photo album suspiciously and asked, "Creditor, did you peek at Wuwu?"
Lu Wang: "I saw it openly and honestly."
Lin Zhi, holding the photo album, said, "You can't peek."
Lu Wang crossed his arms: "I made the school uniform that Wuwu wears, and I made one for you too. We'll go to Wuwu's school together sometime."
Lin Zhi loosened her grip slightly. "Okay."
Since that's the case, he reluctantly showed it to the creditor.
Lu Wang: "The photo album is here. You need to get your teeth fixed this afternoon. Let's go."
Lin Zhi put the photo album away, took a few steps, then remembered what he had to do that afternoon and hurried back to get his little notebook and pen.
Health should also be written down in your little notebook.
Lu Wang looked at Lin Zhi's little notebook.
Thinking back to himself, he was Little Blue Flower. He didn't know what that meant before, but during their conversation yesterday, Lin Zhi implied that he was a creditor and couldn't be a father.
So, giving him the little blue flower at the beginning actually excluded him from the options of being a father, right?
Little one, haven't you realized that you have no other choice?
There were no other options besides him.
Watching the figure carrying the small notebook from behind, he thoughtfully refrained from revealing his secret.
Even after the truth was revealed, the little guy still didn't believe it.
The little guy will know when the show ends. When the family of three lives together, he will naturally understand who his father is.
The two went out, and everyone downstairs had already arrived.
Even Ruan Mian arrived. He went back and slept for an hour, but that was his limit. He couldn't sleep as well as Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi skipped ahead, holding her little notebook, and said, "Let's go to the hospital."
Ruan Mian: "You're so happy to go to the hospital?"
Lin Zhi: "Yes, I've signed you all up."
Ruan Mian: "?"
Lin Zhi looked at Ruan Mian and said worriedly, "Especially you, you soft and weak."
Ruan Mian: "?"
The remaining few people didn't understand Lin Zhi's meaning until they arrived at the hospital and heard the staff's explanation.
Ruan Mian: "A physical examination?"
Chu Lan didn't understand what Bai Lin was planning to do either.
Chen Yantao: "My previous medical examination data is still available."
Ji Tinghe chuckled and asked Lin Zhi, "Do you want us to check if we're healthy?"
Lin Zhi thought Hehe was smarter: "Yes."
Ji Tinghe smiled gently and suggested, "Zhizhi, your uncle doesn't need to go. He's just as young as you, and he'll be accompanying you to get your teeth fixed. The rest of you can just go for a physical exam. Do you want a physical exam?"
Lin Zhi thought Hehe's words made sense. "I've had a physical exam, and I'm very healthy."
They found a bad tooth during the examination.
Ji Tinghe: "Alright, you and Uncle Xiao go get your teeth fixed, we'll go for a physical exam."
Lu Wang looked at Lin Zhidao and said, "I'll go with you to get your teeth fixed."
Lin Zhi tilted his head, and before he could say anything, he heard Hehe speak.
Ji Tinghe said to Lu Wang, "His uncle accompanied him to get his teeth fixed. His uncle isn't going to be a father, so there's no need to check his physical data for now. And you don't want to be his father either?"
"Or is it that...?" Ji Tinghe paused for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Mr. Lu is worried that the medical examination results won't be good?"
Lin Zhi was about to say, "The creditor doesn't act like a father," but upon hearing that he wasn't feeling well, he looked at the creditor and asked, "Creditor, are you sick?"
Lu Wang: "..."
Ruan Mian understood immediately. He asked Lin Zhi, "If I'm not going to be the father, can I skip the checkup?"
Lin Zhi shook his head when he saw that the person speaking was weak and listless. "No, you have to be checked. You're too weak."
Ruan Mian sighed. How could their friendship be so fragile?
Jian Yi didn't understand. "Let's have a physical exam then."
It's just a physical exam.
Everyone else looked at Jian Yi.
Jianyi, 24 years old, exercises regularly.
Chu Lan went to Lu Wang's side and picked up Lin Zhi, saying, "You guys go for your physical exams, I'll take him to get his teeth fixed."
Chen Yantao was disappointed. He wanted to see Lin Wu, and he was sure Lin Wu would show up when Lin Zhi got his teeth fixed, but now it seemed there was no chance today.
Lu Wang looked at the little one and realized that this was what he had in mind. No wonder he brought the little notebook out with him.
He said, "A physical exam requires a blood test, and you have to be fasting for the blood test, so we can't do it now."
Ji Tinghe interjected, "The blood test can be done tomorrow, and we can check for infectious diseases today. Besides those, we can also check height and vision. In short, we can check a lot of things."
Lu Wang looked at Ji Tinghe and understood that this was aimed at him.
"Then let's check. Let's go. Besides these, let's check your whole body."
He didn't have a doctor, so he went to find one.
Lin Zhi smiled and waved to everyone: "I'll miss you all."
Lu Wang glanced at the car. After they left, Lin Wu should be arriving soon. Since that was the case, he might as well take everyone with him. "Let's go."
After everyone left, Lin Wu came out and followed the cameraman to watch Lin Zhi and Chu Lan.
Chu Lan praised, "Zhizhi is so clever!"
Lin Zhi: "Hey."
Lin Wu found it amusing; how did she come up with the idea of having everyone undergo a physical examination?
I hope the medical checkup won't reveal anything wrong.
