Xu Zhaoyue reached out to pull him over, but was afraid that Yue Lanxing would overreact. She hesitated whether to do it or not. When Yue Lanxing saw her move, he immediately took her hand.
"Huh?" Xu Zhaoyue didn't expect to be the one in control. The two looked at each other, and she saw the vulnerability in Yue Lanxing's eyes, so she didn't hold it against him.
"My mother is not my mother, she is my adoptive mother." Yue Lanxing didn't know why, but he really wanted to confide in the young lady. His mother had tried to hug him many times today but stopped him each time, but he remembered it in his heart.
He looked into the young lady's eyes, as if to say that she could tell him anything and that he would always stand by her side and tolerate her every move. So he reached out his hand, and sure enough, the young lady didn't blame him.
Xu Zhaoyue hadn't expected the story to start like this. "Well... don't get excited yet. Come on, sit down and let's talk." She pulled Yue Lanxing to the sofa and pressed him down to sit.
However, Yue Lanxing still didn't give up. Xu Zhaoyue only tried once before giving up and sat down next to Yue Lanxing.
Yue Lanxing held Xu Zhaoyue's hand; even this small physical contact made him feel extremely at ease. He began to talk about the information he had received that day.
"My birth mother is Yue Wenzhu, the third young lady of the Yue family. After she gave birth to me, she was abandoned by my birth father, so she returned to the Yue family, while I was taken away by my adoptive mother."
The story told by Yue Lanxing was more concise, but Xu Zhaoyue could imagine the twists and turns involved. Last time, Yue Lanxing was sent to the hospital by the sweat from just one sip of alcohol. It was hard to imagine what he must have been like when he was first born.
“I knew I was a monster when I was a child, but my mother, cough, my adoptive mother, was very, very good to me, so I really wanted to try my best to live, even if I could never be hugged in my whole life. When I was a child, I drank Chinese medicine, and there was always a room in my house that smelled of medicine.”
"Later, I took Western medicine and had blood tests. I was scared. The results were always the same. When one medicine stopped working, I would switch to another. I kept taking medicine and having blood drawn. The amount of blood wasn't much for me, but the feeling of disappointment overwhelmed me every time."
"Would it be useless of me to say I'm scared?" Yue Lanxing suddenly looked at Xu Zhaoyue, wanting to seek an answer from her. He desperately needed reassurance, but he couldn't say these things to anyone.
In other people's eyes, he is already very lucky. Being alive until now is a blessing, so why dwell on those painful memories?
Xu Zhaoyue covered the back of her hand with her other hand and gently shook her head at him, "No, fear is a normal emotion, especially when it's about life and death. Doesn't the fact that you've persevered this long prove your strength?"
“No one will laugh at you if you tell them. On the contrary, it’s worrying people that you’ve been keeping it to yourself. Now that you’ve told me, do you feel any better? You can tell me anything you want to say in the future. After all, we have a special relationship. What can’t you tell me?”
Xu Zhaoyue tried her best to comfort Yue Lanxing, but she hadn't studied this kind of knowledge, so she could only try to persuade him from the bottom of her heart.
Yue Lanxing realized what Xu Zhaoyue meant by their special relationship. Heaven had indeed favored him, allowing him to meet the young lady.
"Well, before today I thought I could tolerate all of this, but, but today I found out that even my own mother doesn't want me! My mother said that she only brought me out for treatment because of my birth mother, but haven't I been abandoned all these years?"
Yue Lanxing choked up a little at the end. He lowered his head and pressed his fist to his forehead, not wanting the young lady to see his embarrassment. Even if he could confide in the young lady, he couldn't lose his composure.
Xu Zhaoyue gently patted his back. The moment she touched him, she could feel Yue Lanxing stiffen, but he quickly remembered that he was completely immune to the young lady, so he relaxed. However, this brief moment of reflection actually calmed him down.
"It's already a good thing that you have an adoptive mother when your biological mother isn't around. Besides, you've seen all the effort she's put into you. Unlike me, after my mother passed away, all I had at home were the people she left behind." Xu Zhaoyue sighed as she said this.
"Actually, we are all quite lucky. At least we have people who are sincere to us as we grow up. If you meet them, cherish them." As Xu Zhaoyue spoke, she was also drawn into a sad mood. She immediately realized that something was wrong and her mind raced to find a way out.
“Your birth mother may not necessarily not love you. Think about it, where did your expenses come from from when you were a child to the present? Although you did not continue your studies in school, your adoptive mother certainly did not neglect your upbringing. In the meantime, you even moved house.”
“These expenses must have been supported by your birth mother. She always wanted you to get better, but you haven’t been able to go back home all these years because your illness hasn’t improved. Your adoptive mother was also afraid that seeing her loved ones again would cause her even more pain, so she kept it a secret.”
“Since we haven’t heard from you, it’s not impossible that they’re assuming something happened to you.” After Xu Zhaoyue finished speaking, she also felt that it made sense. The fact that Yue Lanxing was able to find out the whole story as soon as he went back today showed that his adoptive mother had no intention of hiding anything.
Xu Zhaoyue's voice reached Yue Lanxing's ears. It was quite pleasant to listen to, and Yue Lanxing listened quietly. His mindset really calmed down. Just as Xu Zhaoyue said, his adoptive mother loved him. She was more than a biological mother to him.
After thinking it through, Yue Lanxing sat up straight. "Miss is right. I will go to the Yue family tomorrow to explain. Given my current situation, it is impossible for me to be recognized as a member of the family. Just pretend I don't exist."
