The lounge fell silent.
Xu Wan and Jiang Tingzhou were both at a loss as to how to respond.
Xiao Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said at all. Instead, she looked at Jiang Tingzhou and asked, "Dad, no, Uncle, are you afraid?"
Xu Wan suppressed a laugh and pulled Xiao Xiao aside to ask, "Where did you learn about this method?"
“From TV!” Xiaoxiao said very seriously, “It’s a TV series that Grandma often watches. Mom, you watch it too.”
Xu Wan looked helpless.
She knew the TV series her daughter was talking about was a popular historical drama about palace intrigue that had been popular for many years, and the most famous part of it was the blood test scene.
Xu Pingrong loved watching TV. Ever since he learned that he could start watching a TV show from a certain episode, he would often watch that episode repeatedly.
I never expected Xiaoxiao to remember me.
Xu Wan knew that Jiang Tingzhou was Xiao Xiao's biological father.
The principle behind blood kinship testing is actually to check blood type.
People with the same blood type will be compatible. If you have type O blood, you will be compatible with all blood types.
Xiao Xiao's blood type was tested shortly after she was born.
Like Jiang Tingzhou, he is blood type AB.
Their blood types are definitely compatible.
Xu Wan looked up at Jiang Tingzhou, and was about to agree to Xiao Xiao's suggestion when...
"Xiaoxiao, can I say a few words to you?" Jiang Tingzhou asked.
Since his daughter doesn't yet believe he's her father, he respects her and won't use overly affectionate terms of address.
Xiao Xiao looked at Jiang Tingzhou and nodded.
"Xiaoxiao, blood-drop kinship testing is a product of ancient times when technology was underdeveloped. It has some basis, but it is not based on blood relation, but on blood type. Simply put, people with the same blood type will have their blood mixed together. In other words, your blood can be mixed with anyone with the same blood type."
Jiang Tingzhou spoke slowly, feeling that his explanation was simple and easy to understand.
Xiao Xiao tilted her head, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Jiang Tingzhou continued, "Actually, I could agree to do this blood test with you today, but I'm afraid that when you grow up and know that there is no scientific basis for blood tests, you will be even more skeptical when you think back to what happened today."
Xiaoxiao is only three and a half years old.
However, Jiang Tingzhou treated her as an equal and discussed the matter with her.
Xiaoxiao probably understood some of it.
She looked at the man's face, blinked, tilted her head, and said, "Then... what should we do?"
Jiang Tingzhou said, "The most scientific method now is paternity testing, which takes about three to five days to get the results."
"Is it taking this long? Is there a faster way...?"
Xiaoxiao's strong reaction just now was mainly because she had secretly looked at her father's photos many times before.
Although she is young, she understands some things about adults.
My mother always said that my father went to a very far place, but in her heart, she felt that my father might be dead.
So she would always secretly look at her father's photos.
The more times I saw him, the more his image gradually became imprinted in my mind, which is why I had such a strong reaction when I saw Jiang Tingzhou now.
"Maybe...no."
Xu Wan patted the child's head, feeling somewhat helpless.
Xiao Xiao pouted, looking at Jiang Tingzhou with a scrunched-up face. It took her a long time to speak: "How about... you swear you didn't lie to me? If you lie to me, then you will... you will... grow a long nose!"
"And it has a long tail!"
"And it will make you ugly!"
Xiao Xiao was afraid that one curse wouldn't be enough, so she recited all the worst curses she could think of.
Jiang Tingzhou looked at the serious-looking child: "Anything else? If not, I can think of a few more for you?"
Xiaoxiao immediately added, "And...and there's no seasoning packet when I buy instant noodles! The elevator is out of power downstairs, and...and..."
"Alright, I'll think of one for you." Xu Wan gently stroked Xiao Xiao's head and said seriously, "If Dad lies to you, I'll make sure he goes bald before he turns 40, okay?"
"What is baldness?" Xiao Xiao didn't understand.
Jiang Tingzhou glanced at the woman with a smile in his eyes before explaining to Xiaoxiao, "It's the thing that men of my age fear the most."
