Chapter 25 Chapter 25
025.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the hospital.
Gu Tingzhou knew that simply testing the blood type would not necessarily prove that they were related, so as soon as he arrived at the hospital, he made an appointment with the old expert.
When the old doctor heard that he wanted to do a paternity test, he told him the truth, "The probability of proving it by checking blood types is very low. Currently, the only thing we can do is to check the white blood cell antigen test of the three of you."
He paused, then added, "But this kind of identification only has an 80% accuracy rate."
Gu Tingzhou had no previous relationship with the Song family's ancestors, so 80% was enough for him. "How long will it take for the results to come out?"
Doctor: "Usually it takes seven days, and expedited treatment takes about three days."
"Then let's speed up." Gu Tingzhou said immediately.
The doctor didn't say anything else, just wrote a prescription and asked them to have their venous blood drawn.
When she heard that she had to have her blood drawn, Song Xiyue's little face started to look worried, her long eyebrows twisted into knots, and she didn't want to move her little feet at all.
"Drawing blood is like being bitten by an ant, much lighter than an injection." Gu Tingzhou half-knelt down, touched the girl's pigtail with his fingertips, and said softly, "After the blood is drawn, uncle will give you a reward."
When Song Xiyue heard about the reward, her brows relaxed instantly. "Really?"
"If I lied to you, I'd be a puppy!" Gu Tingzhou directly took out a glass candy wrapper from the pocket of his army green pants. Inside was an orange hard candy, and the candy wrapper was shining with tiny light under the light.
Song Xiyue had tasted this candy before; it was sour and sweet, and delicious. She immediately raised her chin and said, "It's just a little blood draw. I'm not afraid at all."
That brave look was as if she wasn't the one who was afraid of having her blood drawn.
After drawing blood, Gu Tingzhou directly stuffed the candy into the child's hand. Song Xiyue held the candy in her hand and walked out with him. She did not forget to turn around and say "Thank you, Auntie" to the nurse in her crisp baby voice.
It was getting dark outside, so Gu Tingzhou drove them home.
When they reached the entrance of the alley, the jeep couldn't go any further, so Gu Tingzhou stopped the car and carried Song Xiyue down first.
Although what the two said were somewhat consistent, Song Chunman didn't want him to go in at this time. After all, she had just divorced and was afraid of gossip, so she looked at him and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
But the man didn't seem to notice her expression. He carried Song Xiyue and walked into the alley before Song Chunman.
Song Chunman: ...
The report hasn't even come out yet, and this man is really not shy at all.
The two walked in front, the little girl hugged his neck, her small shoes rubbing shallow marks on his army green pants. The two walked in on the bluestone slabs. She talked about her own things in a baby voice, and the man responded from time to time. Their shadows were stretched long by the street lights, and they really looked like an ordinary father and daughter.
Although Song Chunman was a little worried that the neighbors would gossip, she finally followed him.
There were too many things to do today, so she didn't go shopping for groceries. Therefore, the three of them had noodles in the evening.
But the difference is that we had fried noodles with soybean paste and tomato and egg soup in the evening.
Song Chunman fried the minced meat until fragrant, mixed it with homemade pickled soybean paste, and served it in a large coarse porcelain bowl.
Gu Tingzhou ate with a loud slurp, and did not forget to use chopsticks to pick up the fried egg in his bowl and pass it to Song Xiyue.
The little girl also took the chopsticks and put the vegetables she didn't want to eat into his bowl.
The two of them interacted with each other, and Song Chunman felt as if she could tell without even reading the report that they were father and daughter.
Gu Tingzhou ate the full bowl of noodles clean and almost licked the bottom of the bowl.
After talking about what happened today, he finally stopped racking his brains to find an excuse to come here for dinner. He will come here openly from now on!
hey-hey.
After finishing his meal, Gu Tingzhou wanted to stay a little longer, but Song Chunman immediately ordered him to leave. "It's too late, you should go back first."
Although Gu Tingzhou didn't want to leave, he also knew her concerns and reluctantly said, "I'll come over after get off work tomorrow night."
Song Xiyue thought Uncle Gu was so nice. Not only was he willing to go to the hospital with her mother, but he also bought her so many things. She liked Uncle Gu very much and said, "Uncle Gu, you must come."
Gu Tingzhou: "Okay, let's make a promise. From now on, uncle will come every day."
Song Chunman: ...
Gu Tingzhou drove home. He had resolved the obsession he had four years ago and unexpectedly had a daughter. He was in a very, very good mood.
When I got home, I walked into the house humming a song.
Seeing that he was in such a good mood, Mother Gu casually asked, "Did you find any money today? You look so happy."
Gu Tingzhou's lips curled up slightly, "I'm happier than finding money!"
"What's the matter?" Mother Gu was a little curious, "What level of merit did you get?"
"No." Although Gu Tingzhou wanted to say it very much, the report had not yet come out. He was afraid that if he said it, his mother would call him a liar. "I'll tell you later."
Mother Gu looked at him mysteriously, but she didn't press him any further. She just reminded him, "Don't let it turn out badly, or I won't forgive you."
Gu Tingzhou laughed. How could this be considered a bad thing?
He has a wife and a child now. Doesn’t that relieve the worries they have had over the years?
"Of course it's a good thing." He pursed his lips and smiled, "I guarantee you'll be so happy. Hurry and prepare the red envelopes."
Mother Gu groaned inwardly, not believing that her son could do anything good that would make them, as parents, so happy, but she agreed casually.
After get off work the next day, Gu Tingzhou rushed home without stopping. Afterwards, he went to the vegetable market and bought some spare ribs and fresh vegetables.
When the military green jeep stopped at the alley near Song Chunman again, several children playing there stared at the car with curiosity.
The man walked into the alley carrying vegetables and went into the house in a very familiar manner.
Song Chunman was busy at the stove wearing an apron. When she saw him come in, still carrying something, she paused with the spatula in her hand and asked, "Why are you buying something?"
"I just got the invoice, so I have no place to spend it if I don't." He put the dishes on the chopping board and naturally picked up his apron and tied it on. "Let me help you. Tell me what you want to do now."
Song Chunman wanted to say "no thanks", but she saw that he had already picked up the kitchen knife and chopped the ribs into small pieces on the chopping board. He was so skilled that it seemed that he had cooked a lot.
Song Chunman: ...
There were only the two of them in the kitchen now, and somehow, there was an indescribable ambiguity in the feeling.
She felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about the aunt in the alley this morning asking her if Gu Tingzhou was her man.
Although her aunt's words were normal, she knew that Gu Tingzhou had been coming in and out of here these days, and the neighbors obviously thought that something was going on between them.
She knew that Gu Tingzhou helped her at the beginning, perhaps just because he saw that it was not easy for a woman to take care of a child, and it was definitely not out of love.
If the report comes out and Yueyue is his child, then based on his personality, they might be together.
But what if Yueyue is not his child?
At that time, will he still help them like before?
So until the report is confirmed, she still wants to keep some distance.
She watched the man wash the ribs, then snatched the basket from his hand and whispered, "Um, Comrade Gu... I think you shouldn't come over for the next few days, okay?"
Gu Tingzhou was stunned when he heard this, "Why?"
Song Chunman frowned slightly. "I'm a divorced woman with a child. The report hasn't come out yet. I'm afraid you're constantly coming in and out of here, and I'm afraid it's having a bad influence on you."
Gu Tingzhou raised his eyebrows: "I don't think it will have any impact. Besides, I believe you are the one I'm looking for."
Song Chunman was speechless after hearing this. Does this man really not understand or is he pretending not to understand?
She was about to respond when the man said, "You don't have to worry so much. Even if the report says the child is not mine, I'm unmarried and you're single now. You're free to date. There's nothing abnormal about me coming in and out here."
Song Chunman: ...
It sounds like that.
"I'm definitely coming anyway," Gu Tingzhou said confidently, "Yueyue also asked me to come here for dinner, but don't worry, I won't eat for free. I will definitely buy the food."
Song Chunman was completely speechless.
Forget it, just come if you want, it will save her money on food.
Over the next two days, Gu Tingzhou appeared at the alley entrance at dusk as expected.
On the first day, he brought a live fish, two bunches of vegetables and some fruits. On the second day, he brought a piece of hind leg meat and a bundle of tender beans.
He now enters the house very naturally, as if it were his own home. Even when he goes into the kitchen to help, he is very conscious.
While washing his hands and picking vegetables, he said to Song Chunman, "My friend said he has finished his work and wanted to know when you are free to pick up the goods."
Song Chunman was so busy with the report these two days that she almost forgot about getting the goods, but now it has been three days since the blood test, so she still wanted to wait for the results first.
"Why don't I wait until the report comes out before going?" she said to the man. "I should be able to get it tomorrow, right?"
Gu Tingzhou thought about it and realized it was true. "Okay, I'll go back tonight and tell him that we'll go in two days."
Song Chunman nodded.
When he returned home in the evening, Gu Tingzhou told Zhou Dakang that he would go to pick up the goods in two days.
Although Zhou Dakang was a little confused, he didn't say anything.
Tomorrow is the fourth day according to the hospital. Gu Tingzhou couldn't sleep that night.
The next day at work, I was looking forward to this.
After enduring for a long time, the morning finally passed.
Seeing that the hospital had not called to inform him yet, he became a little impatient and wanted to call.
However, before he could pick up the phone, it suddenly rang.
"Is this Comrade Gu? Your paternity test results are out. Come and pick them up whenever you're free."
His fingers gripping the receiver suddenly tightened, and he stood up almost immediately, slinging his army green jacket over his arm. "I'll be right there."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out of the office, and the jeep engine roared rapidly in the station, speeding all the way towards the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, he went straight to the doctor's office to get the report.
He quickly flipped open the report. The front was filled with a bunch of data analysis, all written in medical jargon. He seemed to understand what was being said, so he looked up and asked the doctor, "I understand the blood type, but what does this HLA result mean?"
The doctor also said directly: "The child's blood type is the same as yours. The antigen test shows that there is an 82% kinship between you and the child, so the possibility of parent-child relationship cannot be ruled out."
Although he had guessed this result long ago, Gu Tingzhou's hands still shook badly when he heard this.
He then explained why he always felt that Song Chunman's face was familiar at the beginning. It turned out that it was not because she was beautiful, but because he had recognized her subconsciously a long time ago.
And now, this report is the most powerful evidence!
Now Song Chunman wanted to deny her responsibility and say that his going there would have a bad influence, but that was no use. She had forced herself on him in the past, so now she had to be responsible for him.
