Lu Wenxing and Lu Xiaofei agreed on a time, and he asked the director for half a day off in advance. Because he was serious and diligent in his daily life, the director had a good impression of him and immediately agreed to his request for leave, and even asked him if half a day was enough.
After finishing the filming that night, Lu Wenxing went straight to the airport and hurried back to his hometown in City B.
When he was young, parents who had lost their children would come to his house every few months to look for them. As he grew older, the few months turned into half a year, and then to a year.
It wasn't until he entered high school that he didn't encounter any parents coming to look for their children for two, three, and four years, but he never thought that his parents had given up looking for him.
The world is big, and it is really hard to find someone in the vast sea of people. His biological parents didn't find him. But similarly, Lu Wenxing didn't find his biological parents either.
People are very contradictory. Lu Wenxing worries about the plot of the novel, worries about bringing trouble to his adoptive parents' family, and worries about unknowingly becoming a cannon fodder.
But for some reason, he was very determined and certain about finding his biological parents, and he believed that he would see them one day.
Lu Wenxing was somewhat apprehensive about the plot, but at the same time he felt that it was not that far-fetched. It was not as simple and pale as described in the novel, where his ending was summarized in just a few sentences.
It was Lu Wenxing who realized this after he met Wen Zheng.
Originally, Wen Zheng was Wen Yu's elder brother, and Lu Wenxing should have avoided him, but after the first contact, Lu Wenxing felt that this should not be the case.
He didn't know much about Wen Yu's family, because the novel only summarized them in a few sentences. He only knew that the protagonist had a domineering brother, who could decide the life or death of a company with just one sentence "The weather is cold and the king is broken."
But obviously this is just fiction.
In fact, this is not the case. Whether sending Jiang Zhengqin to the police station or sending him to jail, it is not based on family background, but on real evidence and legal sanctions.
So far, reality seems to be drifting away from the novel without anything illogical happening.
Does this mean that he will not be affected by the so-called "world consciousness"? Of course, being forced to follow the plot is completely a guess. This is what Lu Wenxing saw in the time-travel novel.
He couldn't tell for the moment whether the novel he was in also had "world consciousness".
It took Lu Wenxing more than an hour to fly from City E to City B, and it was only 11 o'clock in the evening when he arrived home.
Lu Xiaofei and Xie Nian arrived at the airport early to pick him up, and asked Lu Wenxing if he was tired from filming.
"Not tired." Speaking of this, Lu Wenxing was a little excited, "Filming is a very interesting thing, and everyone in the crew also took good care of me."
This is true. Lu Wenxing is a newcomer and there are actually many things he doesn't understand in the crew. Others take good care of him. Lu Wenxing does not have an assistant, but the staff are all very enthusiastic.
It was still quite cold in E City just after the beginning of spring, so it was impossible to wear too thick clothes when shooting a summer scene. As soon as the director called the end, a staff member would come up to put clothes on him or give him hot water.
To be honest, he is much happier on the crew than in Mango Entertainment. There is no Wang Man's meddling, and no fellow artists mocking him, although Lu Wenxing does not take those words to heart.
However, everyone would yearn for a comfortable environment.
"Xingxing." Lu Xiaofei couldn't say that she was very worried, but she couldn't help but give Lu Wenxing a shot of prevention in advance.
"if……"
"I know." Lu Wenxing said calmly, "Don't worry, I promise that whether it is true or not, it will not affect my mood."
If it really isn't the case, then it can only be said that fate has to wait for him.
What Lu Wenxing has the least of all is time. It has been nearly fifteen years. Perhaps waiting is unbearable for others, but for Lu Wenxing, waiting is a yearning for happiness.
He is not an optimistic person, but he is definitely not pessimistic either.
After returning home, Lu Xiaofei was worried that Lu Wenxing was too tired from running back and forth, "They will arrive tomorrow morning, you should have a good rest tonight."
"Um."
The next day, Lu Wenxing got up early.
He looked normal, neither excited nor nervous, and even helped Lu Xiaofei prepare a hearty breakfast.
The family enjoyed a leisurely morning, and it was not until almost noon that the couple who came to recognize their relatives hurried over.
When their eyes met, the couple's eyes lit up instantly. The woman tucked her hair behind her ears, looked at Lu Wenxing with surprise, and said with certainty.
"No mistake, no mistake, he looks exactly like when he was a child."
"Found the right one!" The middle-aged man had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. The smile on his face became more and more obvious since he saw Lu Wenxing. He took out a yellowed old photo from the pocket of his washed-out coat.
The boy in the photo has curved eyes and a bright smile on his face, making his chubby little face look even more adorable.
Those light-colored eyes were really somewhat similar to Lu Wenxing's current appearance.
The moment he saw the photo, Lu Xiaofei's heart was lifted. He held Xie Nian's arm tightly and said, "Is it a star? Come and have a look."
Xie Nian stared at the little boy in the photo, then looked at Lu Wenxing carefully.
It is somewhat similar, but not quite.
Lu Wenxing has been living in their home since he was rescued. Xie Nian knows Lu Wenxing's demeanor and behavior too well. The boy in the photo is more cute.
When Xie Nian brought Lu Wenxing back from the hospital, Lu Wenxing looked a little pale. He was very polite, well-behaved and obedient, but he shouldn't have looked like this.
He even remembered that when Xie Chengfei just started kindergarten, Lu Wenxing was already in elementary school.
At that time, Xie Chengfei particularly liked to imitate Lu Wenxing's expression because he thought it was very cool.
Yes! Lu Wenxing must have been cool when he was a child.
He is often praised as a handsome and cool boy.
Lu Wenxing looked at the photo for a long time, but there was no memory or sense of familiarity in his head.
But he does look a bit like him when he was a child.
Seeing Lu Wenxing's expression, the couple looked at each other and were about to say something when they heard Lu Wenxing suddenly ask, "Where's your sister?"
"Um... this?" The woman was stunned for a moment. The man next to her took over her words, "You were too young at the time and remembered it wrong. It wasn't a sister, but a brother."
"Yes! It's your brother." The woman took out another photo and said, "Look, this is your brother. You two look alike, don't you?"
The little boy in the photo is bigger, and it can be seen that the photo was taken later, and the clarity is better than the previous photo.
"Xingxing." Lu Xiaofei pulled Lu Wenxing over and said, "Although the photo shows that they look alike, do you want to do a paternity test first?"
Lu Wenxing nodded and looked at his watch again. His flight was at noon and it was now half past ten. If he really wanted to go to the hospital for a paternity test, he would not have enough time.
"Oh, there's no need for a paternity test. The photos look so similar, if you show them to others, everyone will say they are brothers."
"Your name is Lu Wenxing now, right? Can I call you Xingxing?" The woman wiped her hands on her clothes, as if she was afraid of being disliked by Lu Wenxing. After hesitating for a moment, she tentatively shook Xingxing's hand.
"Xingxing, the year you went missing, your father almost divorced me. I lost my job in order to find you, and almost all of our family savings were spent. Later, your father and I started working as temporary workers, taking turns to go to work."
"When he went to work, I went around the world looking for you. When he went to look for you, I went to work. This search lasted for more than ten years."
"Fortunately, my hard work paid off. I finally found it." The woman wiped her tears. "If I can't find it again, your father and I don't know what to do."
The man sighed, "We know you are busy with work, so why don't you settle down in City C for the time being? It's okay, your mother and I don't want anything, just come and visit us when you are free."
The woman cried even louder, and Lu Xiaofei could only say a few words to comfort her. Lu Wenxing didn't have much time, and he left in a hurry. He didn't have time to say a few more words to them before he had to rush to the crew.
As soon as he left, the couple looked away eagerly, and then looked at Lu Xiaofei with worried faces.
"We are very grateful that you have taken care of Xingxing for so long. Xingxing has sent you a lot of money in the past few years, right? Of course, we don't mean to ask you for money. I just mean... Xingxing is our child after all. If he wants to come home, I hope you won't stop him."
Lu Xiaofei always felt uncomfortable hearing this from a woman and couldn't help frowning. Seeing Xie Nian shaking his head at her, Lu Xiaofei kept silent.
"Of course, we have also been helping Xingxing find his biological parents, hoping that he can return to his home." Xie Nian paused before finishing his words. "The premise is that you are indeed his biological parents."
"We are, of course, his parents. We showed you his childhood photos, and you can tell what he looked like when he was little from his eyes and nose."
Lu Xiaofei suddenly felt angry. The words of these two people seemed to imply that she and Xie Nian were plotting against Lu Wenxing. After all, Lu Wenxing grew up under her care, and she didn't even have time to feel sorry for him. But the two people in front of her were too weird.
If they hadn't taken out the photo that looked like Lu Wenxing's imagination, Lu Xiaofei would definitely have kicked the two of them out.
After finally sending the two away, Lu Xiaofei's face was still flushed and she looked very angry.
"Don't be angry, everyone has left." Xie Nian comforted her.
"I'm so angry. I'm so angry. Xingxing is so cute. Her parents shouldn't be like this. Besides, Xingxing was raised very carefully when she was a child. It doesn't look like this couple can raise Xingxing that well."
Xie Nian sighed, "That yellowed old photo looks a bit like the stars."
"What's the point? There are so many people in the world. What can eye images prove? I only believe in paternity tests."
The appearance of the couple did not have any special impact on Lu Wenxing. He was thinking about another problem.
After the high fever, he remembered nothing, but for some reason, he felt that he should have a younger sister.
I clearly don't remember anything, why do I have this feeling?
Lu Wenxing himself also found it very strange, and while thinking about it, he fell asleep on the plane.
It was a bright afternoon.
"Mom, can I have a younger sister? Xiaoyi has a younger sister, she's so soft and cute."
The woman's hand gently rubbed the boy's head, and said to him with a bit of amusement, "If you like, you can often go to Xiaoyi's house to play, but your sister is Xiaoyi's family, and she should be treated gently. She is not a toy, you can't have her whenever you want and leave her aside if you don't want her."
"Well... I know. I don't want a toy. If I had a sister, I would treat her very well, even better than Xiaoyi treats his sister."
"How good?" The woman said with a smile.
"Ten thousand times better than Xiaoyi."
——Puff
The woman was amused by his innocent words and continued to ask him.
"If you have a younger sister, she might snatch your toys and cakes. Will you cry?"
The boy hugged the woman and threw himself into her arms. "Mom, can you buy two toys and two cakes? One for me and my sister."
"That's pretty clever." The woman chuckled. "What if there's only one cake left in the cake shop, but my sister wants to eat the whole thing?"
The boy lowered his head and thought for a while, his little face full of confusion, and after a while he showed a bright smile.
"Can I give all of today's cake to my sister first, and then mom can buy me a double portion as compensation?"
The woman pinched the boy gently with her beautiful knuckles. "You just want to have two small cakes."
"Mom, I really want a sister. I will be so good to her. Really, I must be the best brother in the world."
The scene changed and it was still a sunny afternoon.
"Mom will respect both of your wishes. Only if both of you agree, will I bring my sister home. But I don't want you to agree casually. You have to think about it seriously. Because my sister is not just coming to stay for a few days and then leave. She will live here forever and become a member of our family."
"I, I want a younger sister." The boy's eyes sparkled and he turned to his brother expectantly, hoping that he would have the same idea as him.
Then his brother gave him a look of disdain.
"You want the stuffed bear, you want the cake, you want the jigsaw puzzle race car, what do you want that you don't want?"
"Humph." Not getting his brother's approval, the boy turned his face away and said softly, "I don't want a brother."
"You don't want a brother?"
The brother raised his eyebrows and reached out to tickle the little boy's itch.
"Ha ha ha ha."
The boy was young and was pinned down in a few seconds, unable to break free.
He was very ticklish, and he would laugh so hard that he bent over when the soft flesh on his belly was gently touched. He nestled in his brother's arms, his pretty eyes still filled with mist.
But he still refused to admit defeat and deliberately said louder, "...I don't want a brother."
"Say it again."
“No bro…hahahaha.”
The garden was filled with the boy's laughter as he leaned on his brother's shoulders, finally giving in.
"I was wrong. I want my brother. I like my brother the most."
"How much do you like it?" The brother hugged the person in his arms.
“My favorite in the whole world.”
His brother still didn't let him go, and pulled him aside and asked, "Do you like dad or brother more?"
After taking a look at him and not letting go of his hand, the boy didn't hesitate at all, "I like my brother the most."
The brother let go of the boy with satisfaction, and the boy ran away.
He stood a few meters away and shouted at his brother.
"You're lying. I love dad and mom the most."
After saying that, he made a face at his brother, and before he had run a few steps, he was picked up by his brother, "Little rascal, are you still going to run?"
The warm sunshine did not last long, and Lu Wenxing was suddenly awakened by the cold. He still felt a little dizzy, but he was very clear-headed.
What the couple said this morning was wrong. They had recognized the wrong person. He didn't have a younger brother at all.
I only have one brother.
The author has something to say: I know everyone is eager to meet, but it’s not the right time yet. We need an opportunity so that it won’t be too abrupt.
The most beautiful thing is to run towards each other, including friendship, love and family, so don’t be in a hurry, give it a little more time.
Also, Xingxing’s family is very gentle. If they find Xingxing, they will appear in front of Xingxing as soon as possible instead of waiting for Xingxing to find them.
