Chapter 05: Last



Lying on the familiar bed after a long time, Ye Chaoran tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. He groped in the dark and took out his mobile phone.

The live interview clips from this afternoon have long been edited into a video by media reporters and uploaded to the Internet.

Ye Chaoran just typed in his name, and related entries popped up. He clicked on the first video.

The video is very long, about five minutes long, and his face and voice are blurred.

Before finishing watching the video, Ye Chaoran couldn't wait to check the comment section.

After reading Ye Chaoran’s response, many netizens expressed their understanding and support.

The one with the highest number of likes was a reply from a netizen with the id "肚里一点墨":

[A Little Ink in My Stomach: The adoption was legal, so it was reasonable for Ye Chaoran to stay in the adoptive parents' home. On the contrary, it would be incomprehensible if he really went back with his biological parents who suddenly appeared. 】

Many people agreed:

[Yes, let me put myself in the shoes of my adoptive parents. If the son whom I have raised with great effort for more than ten years were to go back with his biological parents who suddenly showed up, I would definitely vomit until I vomited blood! 】

[Stand on the side of the adoptive parents.] 】

[I'm a little confused. Didn't you say a few days ago that Ye Chaoran was going to go back with his biological parents? Why aren’t you going back today? 】

[It seems that the person above didn’t finish watching the video. Later in an interview, Ye's father explained that Ye Chaoran did not say that he wanted to go home with his biological parents a few days ago. He only said that he wanted to go back with his biological parents to take a look. However, his biological parents kept claiming in front of the media that Ye Chaoran wanted to return to the Fang family. After unsuccessful communication, Ye Chaoran decided not to go back, which led to the live broadcast this afternoon. 】

[It’s actually like this!] 】

[It’s a bit too much for the biological parents to do this.] 】

But netizens are more concerned about another issue. Ye Chaoran said in the live broadcast that he was abandoned back then. Is this true or false?

Ye Pei did not speak directly in the interview, but only suggested that reporters consult the police.

The reporters were extremely efficient, and when this video was released, the police’s response followed.

The Nanshi police stated that they did receive this report in 2016, which directly confirmed the authenticity of Ye Chaoran's statement.

Netizens were immediately angry.

What a shameless couple! They were the ones who abandoned the child first, and now they have the nerve to come to our house!

It turned out to be the right decision for the child not to go back with them.

Public opinion online had already begun to lean towards the adoptive parents, and now with this news, netizens were unanimously supporting Ye Chaoran.

Ye Chaoran was about to continue watching when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Are you not asleep yet?" Ye Pei's voice sounded at the door.

For some reason, Ye Chaoran suddenly felt a little guilty, just as nervous as when he was discovered hiding under the quilt playing with his cell phone many years ago. He was just about to hide his phone and pretend that he was asleep when he saw Ye Pei push the door open and turn on the light.

The light was a bit dazzling, and there was nowhere to hide the phone in Ye Chaoran's hand.

Ye Pei raised his eyebrows, laughed, turned around and closed the door, threw the pillow in his hand next to Ye Zhaoran, and said with a smile: "Your mother thinks I'm annoying and drives me to sleep with you, so I know you haven't slept yet."

Ye Pei and Song Ya have been married for many years and have a very good relationship. Even if they quarrel from time to time, Ye Pei would just sleep on the sofa in the bedroom at most. There was no way he would be kicked out of the room by Song Ya.

So he came here today just to accompany me.

Ye Chaoran's heart moved slightly, but he didn't expose Ye Pei's words: "Then why don't you comfort your mother?"

Ye Pei patted Ye Chaoran and chased him inside. He lay down outside and said, "I'll go and comfort her tomorrow. Let's go to bed today."

After saying that, Ye Pei reached out to turn off the light, and then pretended to be fierce and said: "Don't play with your phone secretly anymore. Even if you are the top student in the grade, you still have to study hard!"

Ye Chaoran's chest was almost filled with emotion. He responded with a smile, put down his phone, but his eyes were red.

"Dad," Ye Chaoran tried his best to make his tone sound normal, "I have a question."

Ye Pei: "Speak."

The bedroom was dark, with only a night light emitting a dim light. Ye Chaoran turned his head and could only see Ye Pei's high nose bridge.

He opened his lips and said, "If, I mean if, I really go back with my biological parents, you..."

Ye Chaoran wanted to ask them if they would be angry or sad.

But as soon as these words came to his lips, Ye Chaoran choked.

Song Ya and Ye Pei love them so much, how could they not be sad?

Ye Chaoran's chest heaved violently twice, and his breathing seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand.

Before Ye Chaoran finished asking his question, Ye Pei knew what he wanted to ask.

The man's hand was very large and warm, and he blew it rudely on Ye Chaoran's head.

Ye Chaoran was not careful enough to dodge and was hit hard, but he did not feel any pain at all. He only felt warm and at ease.

Ye Pei smiled and said, "You didn't go back with them, did you? Besides, even if you did go back with them, would you still be our son?"

Ye Pei shared some of his quilt with Ye Chaoran and continued, "We have raised you for sixteen years, and your mother and I know who you are best, so even if you have a compelling reason to return to the Fang family in the future, we will not stop you. As long as you don't forget about us and call us during the holidays, we will be very happy."

Ye Pei spoke calmly, but Ye Chaoran burst into tears.

He buried his head in the pillow, tears welling up in his eyes.

"I won't go back with them." Ye Zhaoran choked up and said, "No matter what the reason is, I will not leave you."

Ye Pei laughed again.

After a long while, he managed to utter, "It's time to go to bed, little brat, stop crying. If you cry your eyes out, your mother will suspect that I beat you up in the middle of the night tomorrow."

A tissue was handed to Ye Chaoran.

Ye Chaoran took the tissue but couldn't hold back his tears.

In the darkness, Ye Pei seemed to sigh, and after a while he turned sideways, put one hand on Ye Chaoran's back, and patted him gently with a familiar rhythm.

It was as if Ye Chaoran was still the insecure child he was back then, who needed his parents to pat his back and hum lullabies before he could sleep peacefully every night.

Ye Chaoran's tears fell even harder.

Fortunately, he was reborn, and this time he would not make his parents sad for him again.

As the night deepened, the gentle beat did not stop.

When he woke up the next day, Ye Chaoran's eyes were swollen just as Ye Pei said.

Fortunately, Song Ya did not ask any more questions, but just handed him an ice pack when Ye Chaoran followed Ye Pei out.

Ye Chaoran thanked her a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, Mom."

Song Ya smiled and said, "Go quickly, don't be late."

After arriving at school, Ye Pei first took Ye Chaoran to see his homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang.

Ye Chaoran's grades have always been ranked first in the grade. Teacher Wang is happier than anyone else that such a promising student will not transfer schools.

Ye Chaoran didn't need to handle the formalities. Teacher Wang said that Ye Pei just needed to follow her, and Ye Chaoran could go back to the classroom first.

Watching Ye Chaoran leave, Ye Pei spoke up: "Teacher Wang, I have a request."

Teacher Wang knew what Ye Pei was going to say and took over the conversation: "I know what you parents are worried about. You can rest assured. First of all, Ye Chaoran has excellent grades and is very popular in the class. Secondly, the students in our class are very friendly. Last night I saw someone in the class group take the lead and asked everyone not to ask any more questions today."

"I also informed the teachers of other classes yesterday, but this matter has indeed spread quite widely, and there will still be some discussions throughout the school. However, you as parents can rest assured."

Ye Pei heaved a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you, Teacher Wang."

Teacher Wang smiled and said, “This is what I should do.”

After separating from Ye Pei, Ye Chaoran went to the classroom alone.

He and Ye Pei arrived at school not too late. There were still more than ten minutes before the class officially started, but there were few students on the school's boulevard.

The feeling of stepping into the campus again was somewhat novel. Ye Chaoran couldn't help but slow down his pace and started to visit while walking. The real scenes gradually overlapped with his memories.

Ye Chaoran walked very slowly, and when he reached the door of Class 1, Grade 2, the preparatory bell rang.

After taking a deep breath, Ye Chaoran mustered up the courage to step into the classroom.

Ye Chaoran suddenly felt a little fortunate. Fortunately, he was in class when he was reborn yesterday, and he still remembered his seat.

Without looking at the eyes around him, Ye Chaoran walked straight towards Zhang Qi.

But before he could walk in, Zhang Qi called out to him, "Ye Zhaoran, you've gone the wrong way!"

Ye Chaoran paused and looked at him in confusion.

Zhang Qi pointed to a spot next to the window in the classroom: "Your seat is over there."

As if knowing Ye Chaoran's confusion, Zhang Qi explained: "We changed seats after you left yesterday, and Lao Wang moved your seat to the last row."

You can't just move his desk to the last row, right? !

Ye Chaoran has never sat in the last row since he was a child!

Zhang Qi seemed to know what Ye Chaoran was thinking, and laughed frivolously: "Hey, weren't you ranked last this time? It's okay to be in the last row, right?"

Ye Chaoran: “…”

He remembered.

In his previous life, after he proposed to go back with Fang Qishan and Cai Lianhua, Ye Pei arranged for him to take a leave of absence. It happened that day was the school's monthly exam, and Ye Chaoran didn't even take the exam. He got zero marks in all subjects. If he wasn't the last, then who was?

The top student in the grade instantly became the last. Ye Chaoran was stunned for a long time and didn't react.

Perhaps his expression was too funny, and one of the boys couldn't help but shout, "Ye Chaoran, you've been sitting on the first seat for too long, you should also come down to earth and experience the scenery in the last row!"

Many students were amused and laughed out loud.

The whole classroom was filled with laughter, and Ye Chaoran's nervousness and uneasiness also completely disappeared with the laughter.

Ye Chaoran sighed and said helplessly: "You're right, I should experience it too."

After saying that, he walked towards the last row.

It doesn't matter, he can just get it back in the next monthly exam.

Ye Chaoran's future deskmate, who was the second to last student in the class, was sleeping on the table. Hearing footsteps, the boy raised his head lazily.

Ye Chaoran looked at the boy's handsome and cruel face, and quickly found the boy's name in his memory -

Jiang Xunmo, the class hunk in their class.

Ye Chaoran was just about to greet him when he saw Jiang Xunmo yawn and look at him sleepily: "Genius baby is here for class."

Ye Chaoran: “?”

The author has something to say:

Ye Chaoran: What bullshit are you talking about?

Xi Chaonan Ge: The first step for genius is QES diapers! (OvO)
