"It's urgent. Is there any shop nearby you'd like to go to? We can talk there." Yue Lanxing said, driving with a serious expression.
Sitting in the private room.
After Yue Xuanxuan finished ordering, she asked, "Brother, just tell me what's on your mind. Why do you have to wait until after we finish eating?"
"Ahem, Xuanxuan, actually you're not my biological sister, and I'm not Mother's child either." Upon hearing this, Yue Xuanxuan was completely taken aback. "What? Who isn't a biological child? You're not one either?"
"What is all this nonsense? I don't understand! You, me, and Mother, what is the relationship between the three of us?" Yue Xuanxuan was completely confused.
“The three of us are relatives without any blood relation.” Yue Lanxing recounted what had happened, but in Yue Xuanxuan’s background, she only said that Wang Qingqing happened to find her.
After hearing this, Yue Xuanxuan sat there in silence for a long time. The reason she didn't collapse immediately after learning that she wasn't the biological child was largely because Yue Lanxing wasn't the biological child either. It was the difference between one pitiful child and two pitiful children.
Strangely enough, Yue Xuanxuan felt that the three of them were not related by blood, but that did not change the fact that they were family.
"So I was picked up?" Yue Xuanxuan wanted to confirm again. "Yes, you were picked up, and I was thrown away." Yue Lanxing nodded.
Yue Xuanxuan paused for a moment and then asked, "Why did you only tell me now?"
"Because my relatives came looking for me..." Yue Lanxing explained the misunderstanding. "You didn't need to know about this, but they were going to come sooner or later, and I was afraid they would cause you trouble."
"They're causing me trouble? What do they think of you? What are your thoughts?" Yue Xuanxuan felt that Yue Lanxing was the one who was most conflicted right now, while she herself was actually fine.
Yue Xuanxuan has been sensible since she was a child, and now she understands how lucky she is that she was abandoned but was taken in by such a good mother who supported her through high school. She usually does some chores at home and doesn't need to go out to work during winter and summer vacations.
She couldn't blame her mother for taking her in; she should repay her kindness.
"I'm fine. Anyway, I'm not going to the capital. I haven't accepted these things yet." Yue Lanxing pressed his forehead with his hand. If he could avoid it, he wouldn't want to run into this kind of thing.
"Fine, I get it. That's just how it is. Wang Qingqing is my mother, and you're my brother. As long as those things remain the same, don't worry about it. There's no harm in accepting it," Yue Xuanxuan said.
Yue Lanxing knew, of course, that it wouldn't do him any harm, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart and still felt awkward. "Alright, let's eat. I'll take you home later. Don't skimp on your living expenses."
"I know, I know. The cafeteria is super cheap, so I didn't skimp." Yue Xuanxuan ate her meal with peace of mind. Luckily, she had mentioned it before eating, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to finish her meal.
When Yue Lanxing returned from school, she told Xu Zhaoyue about her sister's reaction. "I didn't expect her to be so open-minded," Yue Lanxing said, praising her.
"And what about you?" Xu Zhaoyue asked, "What are you still worried about? Don't carry the karma of the previous generation on your shoulders. We can't decide our birth, and we can't choose our parents."
"At most, it's just a matter of different people being born into different circumstances. I will support you no matter what you do, but don't let these emotions torment you."
Xu Zhaoyue's words didn't sound like comforting words; she was simply stating the facts. Yue Lanxing knew he was avoiding the issue because of too many uncertainties. When he explained things to Yue Wenzhi, he even considered whether to stop there.
In short, things didn't go as he expected. "Let me think about it some more. Let me hide here with Miss for a while." Yue Lanxing leaned back on the sofa.
"Fine, go ahead and hide." Xu Zhaoyue ignored him. She looked at the six pearls in front of her. Although they weren't perfect, they were very meaningful. She would give them to Xiaonan along with the design drawings later, and they would be able to see them in a couple of days.
Yue Lanxing could only hear his and the young lady breathing in the room, along with the ticking of the clock and the whistling of the wind blowing in through the window. In this environment, he could relax.
"I want to make wind chimes tomorrow, do you want to come with me? Are you asleep?" Xu Zhaoyue's voice rang in Yue Lanxing's ears, and the rest of the voice immediately became softer.
Yue Lanxing didn't open her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Seeing that he hadn't woken up after she finished speaking, Xu Zhaoyue figured he must be asleep. She got up and took a coat from the clothes rack, intending to drape it over Yue Lanxing's shoulders, but when she held it up, it seemed a little small.
Yue Lanxing opened his eyes at this moment. He heard rustling sounds and wanted to see what the young lady was doing, so he opened his eyes and saw the young lady fiddling with her clothes.
"Is this how you cover it?" Yue Lanxing reached out to help. "Oh right, put it like this... You're awake?" Xu Zhaoyue was about to ask how to adjust it when she turned her head and saw that Yue Lanxing was awake.
Yue Lanxing looked at her with a smile in his eyes, not at all like someone who had just woken up. Xu Zhaoyue stared at him for a few seconds, then couldn't stand it and looked away. "You don't need to cover yourself now that you're awake." Then she threw the clothes on him.
"Yes, no need to cover it." Yue Lanxing's voice was gentle but slightly hoarse. He picked up the clothes, tidied them up, and hung them back on the hanger.
Xu Zhaoyue sat on the sofa, feeling that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. "Never mind, do you want to make a wind chime with me?"
"Of course, I have no other plans. When Miss goes to work, I go to get off work; when Miss gets off work, I go back to the villa and continue working. I can stay with Miss all day long."
Yue Lanxing sat back down, looking at the papers on the table. Only the one with the wind chimes was the most fully drawn. "Should we drill holes for this design beforehand? Is there a hole punch in the villa?"
