Shen Ci was still in shock when there was a knock on the ward door.

"Please come in." Min Song said lightly.

The door was immediately pushed open with a creak, and Wei Shuo walked in quickly. He was relieved to see that Shen Ci was intact. "Damn, I was scared to death! I thought you were beaten."

Min Song and Shen Ci didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Does Min Shoubei look so fierce?

"Sister Min." Wei Shuo called out to Min Song in a flattering manner after seeing her, and put down a large basket of fruit for Shen Ci: "This is what everyone bought for you. Let me peel an apple for you."

Shen Ci looked at it and said, "No, I want to eat bananas."

Wei Shuo decisively refused: "Banana is not acceptable."

Shen Ci:?

Wei Shuo curled his lips and said, "The bananas were bought by Shao Jinhuan, you can only eat the apples I bought first!"

Shen Ci sighed softly and made an OK gesture.

Wei·Apple peeling skill level 10·Shuo's smile returned, he took out a knife from his pocket and began to peel the apple seriously.

Min Song: “…” Is this a cut to some channel about concubines competing for favor in the harem?

Shen Ci's cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated, someone was calling.

Min Song took it for him, glanced at the screen and reminded him, "The caller ID shows 'brother'."

Shen Ci paused, and suddenly didn't want to answer the call anymore.

Just now I was just busy digesting the fact that Min Shoubei suddenly appeared out of nowhere and claimed to be my "real father", but now I realize how complicated the situation is. First of all... how to deal with his relationship with the Shen family.

To be honest, he didn't want to leave the Shen family. But this was definitely not something he could decide alone.

The cell phone kept buzzing, Shen Ci became more and more panicked, and his hand was covered with warmth.

Wei Shuo was looking at him steadily, his amber eyes were clear and firm, silently saying: Don't be afraid, I'm here.

This is the comfort that only a best friend can give him, and it is also a true confession that can only be given between friends.

Shen Ci calmed down a little, took a deep breath, and swiped up to answer the call.

After the call was connected, there was a noisy crowd voice in the microphone, but it was strangely quiet. Shen Ci could clearly hear the faint trembling breathing, which was a little fuzzy and hoarse mixed with weak electric current.

The two of them suddenly reached a tacit understanding and neither of them was willing to speak first.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Shen Ci finally heard a bitter smile from the other end of the phone.

"If I had known I wouldn't have left. When your real father came looking for me, I would have taken you away, haha..."

He tried to make a joke in a teasing tone, but Shen Ci could easily hear the disappointment hidden in it.

Shen Ci's heart was also in a knot: "It's not confirmed yet..."

Shen Bie said bitterly, "Brother's sixth sense is always good. My parents and I will fly over in a while."

"Xiaoci, you...have a good rest, dear."

"Don't think too much. I'm going to hang up now."

"Wait!" Shen Ci hurriedly stopped him, "I don't care what the result is, I've already decided that you're my brother. My parents are the same, and I can't change my mind."

“…”

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. Shen Ci spoke uncertainly: "Are you still there, brother?"

Shen Bie said vaguely with a nasal "hmm": "Get on the plane, hang up."

“Beep, beep, beep—”

Shen Bie stood at the boarding gate holding his cell phone. He couldn't help but feel a sour nose and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes.

People were coming and going in the airport, and when they saw him suddenly standing alone, Shen Bie didn't want to move a step.

It would be best if time stayed still so he wouldn't be forced to face it.

"Aye, let's go." Mother Shen hugged her eldest son lovingly, feeling sad as well.

Shen Bie nodded slightly and followed his parents to board the plane.

***

No one knew what Lu Xiao and Min Shoubei talked about. Although they still seemed to be at odds with each other, at least they were quite calm and peaceful after returning.

Lu Xiao noticed that Shen Ci's eyes were a little red, and he frowned and glanced at Wei Shuo lightly.

Wei Shuo's scalp almost exploded after being glanced at by the devil. He said with a strong desire to survive: "Ah, just now, that big brother Shen called me, and I peeled an apple..."

If you want to kill me, go find Shen Bie!

Lu Xiao nodded slightly and said calmly: "The Shen family should be here soon."

This was meant to remind Min Shoubei behind him, but Min Shoubei was too lazy to respond and instead raised his chin towards Shen Ci: "It's time to take samples."

Shen Ci's slight sadness was suddenly forced back by fear. Was it so fast?

He stretched out his white arms tremblingly, with a tragic look on his face, like a warrior ready to break his arm: "Come, come on..."

Everyone was stunned, and Wei Shuo laughed: "Fool, what are you doing?"

Shen Ci blinked in confusion.

Lu Xiao couldn't help but smile. He walked closer, touched Shen Ci's earlobe and said softly, "You don't have to draw blood. You can just collect hair."

As he was speaking, Lu Xiao gently inserted his big hand into Shen Ci's soft hair, stroked it a few times and then withdrew his hand. There were a few complete chestnut hairs in his palm.

Min Shoubei and Lu Xiao's assistants quickly took them, sealed them, and went out to mail them.

Shen Ci was a little worried: "Will hair be enough?" He thought he needed to draw blood to improve accuracy.

Lu Xiao recalled that he had seen Shen Ci picking his hair in the bathroom before, and later he secretly asked Wei Shuo to help with the test. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Is it possible or not? Don't you know?"

Shen Ci:? Why do you feel like he knows something?

Lu Xiao and Min Shoubei both requested expedited processing for shipping and testing, and they responded that it would take at least four hours for the results to come out.

"Am I blind or is Weibo crazy?! Rumors like Shen Ci's biological father is Director Min have even spread!"

"It's inexplicable... They don't look like him at all, okay? It doesn't take an 18th-tier celebrity to ride on the popularity of a big shot like this, right?"

"It's obviously Min Shoubei who is trying to take advantage of Xiao Ci's popularity! He just noticed that Xiao Ci is often on the trending searches, and he must be trying to hype it up to promote his next movie!"

"Wait for the real person to refute the rumor! Sisters, stop quarreling, or the opponent will make a fuss about it!"

“…”

A fierce war of words suddenly broke out on Weibo, and the onlookers were all stunned.

Shen Ci? Min Shoubei?

These two people were suddenly linked together and said to be father and son. It is as unbelievable as suddenly discovering wild elephants in Antarctica. It is totally impossible!

Shen Ci participated in a variety show, how come a big shot became his father? !

This incident was exposed by an account claiming to be a staff member of "Perfect Homestay". He directly took photos of Shen Ci and Min Shoubei entering the hospital one after another, and also posted a video.

The weird hot search ranked first. Yunxiao Entertainment was afraid that some young fans would quarrel with each other, so it quickly contacted the fan site and the Internet water army to control the comments.

The topic square was soon filled with flattery.

"Is the melon delicious? Why not eat the melon while watching our Zi Zi's "Neighbors Sunshine and You"? It's no exaggeration to say that he is the cutest male lead in history! In addition, please prepare enough Ah Wei before you come, otherwise you won't be able to survive."

"Come and see the funny daily life of sister Qin Yun and Xiao Cizizi! Can I have a dozen of Xiao Cizizi's brother who is so aggressive and has a strong sister complex? Wuwuwu..."

"Wait... I remember when this drama was promoted, Shen Ci played the third male lead, right?! How come he is the first male lead now?"

"Does the village above have internet? Ci has long been promoted to the leading male role because of his perfect looks and acting skills! I have to tell you that he looks so good with all the handsome guys and beautiful girls in the drama!"

"Especially the scene where he dressed up as a woman and played the role of the president of the mainland university... Every time I watch it, tears will flow out of my mouth... I can even imagine 100,000 words of Haitang City literature in my mind!"

…

It was already very late, and Shen Ci fell asleep with an IV drip, unaware that his name was on the trending search again.

At this time, the person involved was actually the one with the biggest heart, sleeping soundly and peacefully.

Wei Shuo couldn't help but touch the little silly dog's hair with emotion.

When the Shen family arrived, the test results happened to be out.

Lu Xiao contacted the hospital and reserved a conference room for them to use, and only asked Wei Shuo to stay in the ward to look after Shen Ci.

"Wait a minute." Shen Bie's voice was inexplicably nasal and a little hoarse.

Everyone looked at him silently, no one spoke.

Shen Biejing walked straight to the sleeping Shen Ci. He wanted to reach out and pinch his brother's soft face, but he held back.

Without saying a word, he took out a pair of new slippers from his bag and placed them beside the bed. He then took out a special kettle and prepared room temperature water for Shen Ci to drink in the middle of the night. He pulled out a soft, fluffy pillow and stuffed it into Shen Ci's arms, and finally tucked him in neatly.

It was just like when I was out taking care of Shen Ci as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Without any unnecessary movements, Shen Bie finished everything, turned around and followed to the meeting room without looking back.

***

That night, Min Shoubei posted a Weibo post to respond to online public opinion.

A screenshot of an electronic appraisal book and a simple sentence "Shen Ci, my biological son" caused a huge stir in the circle and was hailed as the biggest news of the year.

The crowd was so frightened that they dropped their melons. It turns out that wild elephants can actually be found in Antarctica...

In addition to the official announcement, Min Shoubei also went to the trouble to tag all the big V accounts that scolded Shen Ci, and replied in a unified and arrogant manner: Your account is gone.

"Shit, these numbers are really gone! Gone!"

"You double standards, you hit your brother on the public screen! You don't care if you scold him, but you are so petty when you scold your son!"

"What happened to the idol group that bothers me the most and the vase that bothers me the most... This is clearly the rhythm of becoming a tyrant."

“…”

The melon was so big that when Shen Ci woke up the next day, his phone was about to explode...

He wiped his saliva in confusion, swiped hard on the screen of missed calls and WeChat messages, and found with a frown that he could not scroll to the end.

Brother Qi: Oh my goodness, my idol, you have become so awesome! I am not worthy of you, wuwuwu…

Shao: How are you feeling? What would you like to eat in the morning?

Lovely Xia Qingqing: Boss! Please give me an autograph from Director Min! I am willing to help you become the king for free!

…

He went to check out the trending searches and then realized what had happened.

Fortunately, the ground had been laid yesterday, so Shen Ci was very calm today.

"Awake?" Lu Xiao pushed the door open and walked in, holding a thermos bucket in his hand: "Eat first."

Shen Ci nodded obediently, and came back from washing up in his slippers. Lu Xiao had already scooped out some porridge for him.

"Thank you, uncle!" Shen Ci reached out to take it, and Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows and took it away.

Then a lonely Shen Ci answered: "???"

Lu Xiao put down the bowl, pressed the stunned Shen Ci against the wall, and lowered his head to touch his forehead with his own: "What did you just say?"

Shen Ci Se curled up into a ball and swallowed: "Thank you, thank you, uncle..."

The corners of Lu Xiao's lips slowly curled up, making him look even more handsome, which made Shen Ci's ears feel hot.

"Baby, I don't like you saying thank you."

Shen Ci had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Lu Xiao's hot and soft lips kissed Shen Ci's ears intensively, becoming hot all the way and stopping at the corner of his mouth.

"Let's try another way." Lu Xiao gently touched the corner of his mouth, full of hints.

Faintly, he could smell the fresh mint scent from the hot breath, as well as the bitter aroma of perfume on Lu Xiao's body... Shen Ci was dizzy from the arousal.

Shen Ci blushed and muttered, "You broke the rules..."

Ever since they kissed that night, Lu Xiao always tried to trick him into kissing him first, and every time Shen Ci was tricked into turning around dizzy.

Lu Xiao: "I can come too."

As he spoke, he bit Shen Ci's lips, and Shen Ci was so scared that he quickly moved away.

No, no, Lu Xiao is too scary. He only lets go when Shen Ci is almost out of breath. He might do it again billions of times in the end.

Shen Ci had no choice but to grit his teeth, raise his head and peck Lu Xiao's lips lightly——

The ward door creaked open and the visitor stopped in his tracks.

Shen Ci: “!!!”

In a flash, Shen Ci pushed Lu Xiao away, lay back on the bed, curled up in the quilt and pretended to be dead, screaming like a woodpecker in his heart.

Shit! Why do I feel like I'm being caught cheating in bed?

Lu Xiao frowned and looked towards the door. When he saw that the person coming was Shao Jinhuan, his eyes became even colder.

"Uncle Lu, you're here too early!" Wei Shuo came out from behind Shao Jinhuan and shivered from the cold.

Such a sinister and cold look, the weak, pitiful and innocent Wei Shuo trembled: "Why hasn't Xiaoci gotten up yet..."

Shen Ci buried his head in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Wake up!"

In front of Lu Xiao, Wei Shuo didn't dare to pull Shen Ci's quilt, so he cleared his throat and put the thermos bucket on the table: "I brought you a delicious meal, hurry up and eat!"

Shao Jinhuan walked over silently, also carrying a thermos bucket.

Jiang Shu also appeared from behind him, with a worried look on his face: "Can Xiaoci eat now? I brought him some hot porridge."

"...We're late." Min Song came in helplessly carrying the bucket, and looked helplessly at Min Shoubei who looked unhappy behind him.

Shen Bie walked in with the same handbag, and his mouth twitched when he saw that the room was crowded with so many people.

When the blush on Shen Ci's face had almost faded, he finally showed his face.

He scanned the area silently and then retracted his head.

Okay, six buckets of porridge, he chose death.

Finally, Shen Ci was dragged out by Shen Bie to eat. Under the surveillance of everyone, he held a bowl of tasteless white porridge with a tearful face and swallowed it raw.

The looks from the big guys as they forced him to drink porridge were so scary that Shen Ci's hand shook accidentally, and a drop of porridge leaked from the spoon and fell onto his clothes.

"Be careful." Jiang Shu immediately took out the exquisite handkerchief he carried with him, leaned over to wipe the porridge that had dripped onto Shen Ci's collar, and said softly, "You're so old, why do you still drip food outside when you eat?"

Wei Shuo looked at her suspiciously: "?"

Her voice was so gentle that it seemed as if water might drip out of it, just like a mother doting on her son. Shen Ci was overwhelmed by the favor.

But she usually hates herself, why would she suddenly come to ask about my well-being?

Shen Ci looked down suspiciously. Did Jiang Shu suddenly fall in love with him? Or was the bracelet poisonous?

"Is there any poison on your wrist?" Wei Shuo couldn't help but sneer, and Jiang Shu's expression turned ugly.

Shen Ci: “…”Good brother.
