◎A rare opportunity.◎
To be honest, Xu Xingluo really wanted to run away.
He doesn't want to do it anymore!
Who could tell him why the gentle father in his memory was now looking at him with such calm yet terrifying eyes?
If I have to say, in that future time and space, Xu Xingluo was also a little afraid of his father.
But that fear was completely different from what it is now.
Twenty years later, Song Siyao holds a high position, managing tens of thousands of employees, but he never shows off in front of his son.
At this moment, Xu Xingluo felt that if he said one more wrong word, he would be taken to the school security department by his own father.
Under this feeling of oppression, Xu Xingluo could hardly even straighten his tongue.
"Well..." He smiled awkwardly, "I was sick last week."
Song Siyao's expression made Xu Xingluo feel that he had been completely seen through, as if he were transparent.
"Really?" Song Siyao remained silent.
Xu Xingluo: "Yes... yes."
Song Siyao: "Did you bring your student ID?"
Xu Xingluo: “…”
He was very sure that if he continued to be "interrogated" like this, he would have nightmares at night.
Sure enough, his initial thought was correct. His father was even more difficult to deal with than his mother!
Xu Xingluo took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, Senior, I seem to have forgotten my student ID in the cafeteria. I have to go look for it! We can talk next time!"
As he spoke, he ran away quickly as if there was a ghost chasing him.
Song Siyao's gaze lingered on the boy's hurried back for a few seconds, as if thinking about something.
The boy's appearance seemed familiar.
Song Siyao didn't think about it anymore.
He doesn't like being deceived, so he asked the question to the end.
But he also hated getting involved in troubles that had nothing to do with him.
The S University campus is open to the public. Since the other party has given up on talking to him under a fake identity, he has no interest in interfering.
…
Xu Xingluo ran more than two hundred meters in one breath, and only slowed down after making sure that he was out of Song Siyao's sight.
He let out a long breath.
Thinking of the conversation just now, Xu Xingluo felt a lingering fear, but at the same time, he felt that everything had an explanation.
No wonder his mother didn’t like his father at this time!
.
When Xu Xingluo returned to the dormitory after school on Tuesday, he received a text message from the agency saying that the electronic version of the paternity test report was out and had been sent to his email.
The paper version of the report has also been mailed and will arrive approximately the next day.
The moment he saw the message, Xu Xingluo jumped up from his chair and immediately took out his mobile phone to log in to his email.
But he didn't know if it was because his phone had been used for too long and had performance problems, or if it was because the network was bad, but he couldn't refresh the inbox interface after trying for a long time.
Xu Xingluo made a "tsk" sound and stamped his feet in anxiety.
A voice came from beside me: "Do you need help?"
Xu Xingluo subconsciously wanted to say no, but when the word "no" was on the tip of his tongue, he abruptly changed the subject: "...Can I borrow your computer?"
Unlike the private school he will attend in the future, laptops are not standard equipment for boarding students at S University Affiliated High School.
Xu Xingluo doesn't have his own computer, but Zhao Jiayuan does.
Speaking of which, Zhao Jiayuan's family conditions seem to be very good.
Xu Xingluo didn't observe it specifically, but he accidentally discovered two days ago that the pajamas Zhao Jiayuan was wearing were from a luxury brand with a very distinctive logo.
The reason he knew this was because his mother also bought him pajamas of the same brand in the future, saying that she bought them when she bought a bag.
When Zhao Jiayuan heard Xu Xingluo wanted to borrow the computer, he immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll give it to you now."
Xu Xingluo's eyes lit up and he patted Zhao Jiayuan on the shoulder: "That's great, thank you, brother!"
Zhao Jiayuan paused for a moment, then took out his laptop and placed it on Xu Xingluo's desk. "You can use it. I probably won't be able to use the computer today."
Xu Xingluo: "No, I'll just use it for a few minutes and return it to you soon!"
As he spoke, he pressed the power button and the lock screen page popped up.
Zhao Jiayuan said from the side: "The password is zjy1227."
Xu Xingluo grinned: "That's nice, brother!"
Zhao Jiayuan: "Nothing."
After saying that, Zhao Jiayuan returned to his desk and sat down very considerately, without standing by to watch what Xu Xingluo was doing on the computer.
Xu Xingluo opened the web mailbox page and logged into the email address he had registered with his mobile phone a few days ago.
Sure enough, the problem just now was with his phone. This time, he logged into his inbox smoothly on his computer.
Xu Xingluo was very sure that he was his mother's biological son, but the moment he opened the email, his heart still beat faster.
Fortunately, there was no problem. Seeing the last sentence of the report "The probability of parent-child relationship is greater than 99.9999%", Xu Xingluo breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out his old cell phone and took more than a dozen photos of the identification results from various angles before logging out of his email and returning the computer to Zhao Jiayuan.
"Thanks, brother!" Xu Xingluo said, "You've been a great help! I'll treat you to a meal when I have time!"
Zhao Jiayuan smiled: "No, it's just a small matter."
Xu Xingluo thought to himself: This is not a small matter, this is a major matter concerning my life!
But he held back, because it suddenly occurred to him that with his current financial situation, he might not have the money to treat Zhao Jiayuan to a decent meal for the time being.
Xu Xingluo stopped worrying about treating everyone. He took out his cell phone and looked over the photos he had just taken.
Do you want to send a text message to Xu Yingxi now?
It seems a bit too hasty. We should wait until the paper report arrives.
The pixels of his mobile phone are really limited, and the photos are not as convincing as the official report, so let's wait a little longer.
…
Two minutes later, in the girls' dormitory of S University.
Xu Yingxi had just returned to the dormitory when she received a new message on her phone.
Xu Xingluo: [Mom, have you received any notification from the paternity testing agency?]
Xu Yingxi: “…”
She received a text message saying that the electronic report had been sent to the email address she provided.
When Xu Yingxi saw the message, she was eating in the cafeteria and was about to go back to the dormitory to check her email.
Looking at the word "Mom" on the text message interface, she felt that she already knew what the result would be.
Xu Yingxi: [Got it. Are you free now? Let's meet at the apartment.]
Xu Xingluo: [Okay, okay! What time?]
Xu Yingxi: [I'll take a shared bike and arrive in about 20 minutes.]
Xu Xingluo: [No problem!]
Xu Yingxi usually takes taxis more often, but she hasn't exercised for a long time recently, so today she wants to go for a bike ride and get some fresh air.
She put on a light coat and prepared to go out.
Chai Mengtian asked her from behind: "Huh? Xixi baby, why are you going out again so soon?"
Xu Yingxi: "I have a last-minute appointment."
"Oh? Something's going on, Xixi!" Chai Mengtian's tone suddenly became gossipy, "Is male guest number four about to appear?"
When several girls in the dormitory chat privately, they sometimes jokingly refer to Xu Yingxi's three boyfriends as male guests number one, two, and three.
Xu Yingxi smiled and said, "No, I don't plan to fall in love again in the near future. I guess there won't be a male guest number four for a long time."
Chai Mengtian was disappointed: "Well...it seems that I will have less material for my novels recently."
…
Xu Yingxi rode her bike to the downstairs of the apartment building.
Before the car stopped, Xu Xingluo was already jogging over to find her.
Xu Yingxi locked the car and looked up at the boy.
Xu Xingluo was wearing the blue and white school uniform of the high school department of S University Affiliated High School, and he looked even more refreshing and handsome than when he wore his own clothes.
Maybe this is the blessing of youthfulness.
Xu Yingxi said casually: "You look quite handsome today, and you have the style of my youth."
Back then, she was also a high school girl who could wear the loose school uniform with grace and style.
Xu Xingluo was stunned by the sudden praise, and the next second his mouth stretched all the way to his ears. "Hahahaha! Really? Come to think of it, other people in school always say I'm the school hunk..."
Xu Yingxi interrupted the self-absorbed boy: "Stop being silly, school hunk, let's go."
Xu Xingluo: “Hey!”
After going upstairs to change his shoes, Xu Xingluo hurriedly opened the photo album on his phone and handed it to Xu Yingxi: "Mom, look!"
Xu Yingxi took a quick glance and frowned in disdain: "What kind of landline picture quality is this?"
Xu Xingluo coughed and said, "The pixel of my phone is a bit poor."
Xu Yingxi: "It's very bad."
She waved her hand: "Don't look at it, I filled in our two email addresses separately, and the report is also with me."
Xu Xingluo: "Oh... OK!"
He suddenly became nervous.
In that case...his mother should finally believe that he is her son, right?
Xu Xingluo looked at Xu Yingxi with his heart beating like a drum.
Xu Yingxi said calmly, "Now that the results are out, I have something to tell you."
Xu Xingluo stood at attention: "Mom, you say!"
Xu Yingxi: "First, in front of outsiders, you are usually my relative's younger brother. Only when we are alone can you call me mom."
Xu Xingluo was stunned for a few seconds.
After a moment, a huge joy appeared on the boy's face: "Okay, okay! I know, absolutely no problem!"
His mother admitted that he was her son!
And his mother said he is not an outsider!
Xu Yingxi: “…”
She said to herself: My son just looks a little silly when he smiles, but his IQ should be fine.
Xu Yingxi: "Don't just giggle, there's another one."
Xu Xingluo tried hard to suppress his laughter, but the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising: "Hmm!"
"Second." Xu Yingxi glanced at him and spoke slowly, "Isn't it time to talk about your father?"
The smile on the boy's face froze instantly: "W...what?"
Xu Yingxi: "Let me ask you, who is your biological father?"
This is her style, quick and decisive, without any delay.
Before the paternity test results came out, she didn't want to waste her energy on something that was not 100% certain.
But after the results came out, she had to ask this question.
Just kidding, the sudden appearance of a sixteen-year-old son will definitely bring a lot of trouble.
Xu Yingxi is not prepared to take all the responsibility alone, the child's biological father will definitely not get away.
Of course, she didn't intend to completely abandon her son to the other party, nor would she consider dating the other party because of this.
She simply needed to know who that person was.
Xu Xingluo's expression was as if he had been struck by lightning.
He…is not at all ready to tell his mother about his father’s identity!
Xu Yingxi had never mentioned this matter before, and he thought that at least in the short term, she didn't want to know who his father was!
"Why aren't you talking?" Xu Yingxi asked, "Do I know that person? What's his name?"
Xu Xingluo: "I...I forgot!"
Xu Yingxi: “…”
His mother was looking at him like an idiot, so Xu Xingluo quickly tried to make amends, "I mean! Something seemed to have happened when I traveled through time, and I lost some of my memory..."
There were a few big words written on Xu Yingxi's face: Do you think I believe it?
"You mean," Xu Yingxi asked, "you even remember that I was followed, but you don't remember your biological father's name?"
Xu Xingluo was speechless.
Xu Yingxi looked at the boy inquiringly: "Or is there some reason why you don't want to tell me your father's identity? For example... do you think I'll be unhappy if I find out?"
Xu Xingluo's pupils trembled.
Although not completely accurate, it is very close.
Xu Xingluo suddenly felt that with his mother's intelligence, if he let her continue guessing, she might be able to guess the truth soon.
If his mother really guessed who it was, would she... stay away from his father?
Sometimes people suddenly burst out with great potential at critical moments.
Xu Xingluo's brain raced for a few seconds, and he immediately spoke, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's because... there are some things I haven't thought through completely. I'm sorry, Mom. It's only been a week since I suddenly traveled through time, and my mind has been really confused. I often don't know what to do..."
As he spoke, he showed the expression he used to use when he was acting coquettishly with his mother. His expression and tone were extremely pitiful.
The last time he used this expression was when he and Xu Yingxi met for the first time in this time and space, and he asked her if he could borrow some money.
…
After separating from Xu Xingluo, Xu Yingxi returned to school alone.
She thought about what the boy had just said.
Xu Yingxi admitted that she was a little soft-hearted.
He was living a good life, but suddenly he was back to 21 years ago and became an orphan with no one to rely on and no money. This was a huge shock to everyone.
Come to think of it, Xu Xingluo was indeed quite miserable, so she couldn't bear to force him.
But the more important reason is that, based on Xu Yingxi's current observation, her son's mind and scheming are really not good enough. If he were in a TV drama, he would definitely be a naive fool.
She probably doesn't need to force him to tell. With just a little probing, Xu Xingluo will let the cat out of the bag within a week.
Moreover, the boy's reaction just now gave Xu Yingxi some idea.
She must have guessed right. Xu Xingluo thought that telling her who that person was would make her unhappy, so he didn't dare to say it.
Recalling that she had once declared in front of Xu Xingluo that she "would never go back to her ex", Xu Yingxi deeply suspected that the suspects were her ex-boyfriends.
After all, she had never mentioned other men to her son, and S Dali could find out who her ex-boyfriends were by asking around.
Although she has been adhering to the attitude of "never looking back" so far, people's ideas will change, and it is not impossible for them to contradict themselves in the face.
To be more specific, Xu Yingxi felt that the person might be her two ex-boyfriends, He Xu or Xiao Zhiyu.
Qi Wangzhou's actions were unforgivable in her eyes. Unless she was out of her mind, no matter how much she changed her mind, it would be impossible for her to reconcile with Qi Wangzhou.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yingxi returned to the dormitory.
She was greeted by Chai Mengtian's excited voice: "Xixi baby, you're finally back! I'm telling you, I just got some big news!"
Xu Yingxi took off her coat: "What news?"
Chai Mengtian: "At tomorrow's academic sharing session, male guest number one will ask questions as a representative of outstanding students from University A!"
Xu Yingxi: "Are you talking about He Xu?"
"Yeah, that's him." Chai Mengtian curled her lips. "A University is really out of ideas. Our school's outstanding student representative is Song Siyao, the academic god! They actually chose an undergraduate."
Among Xu Yingxi's two predecessors, Chai Mengtian is a staunch "Xiao Zhiyu faction" and has always disliked He Xu.
Of course, the so-called "dislike" refers to her attitude when they chat privately in the dormitory. Chai Mengtian is still very clear-headed outside.
Zheng Lei went to take a shower. Liu Xueyi, who was chatting with her boyfriend on WeChat, overheard their conversation and interrupted, "Xixi, if He Xu is here too, will you still go to the sharing session tomorrow?"
Xu Yingxi: "Yes, of course you have to go."
This sharing session was jointly organized by S University and two other universities in Beicheng District. Several domestic and foreign experts co-presented the lectures, and the content was very valuable.
In addition, the direction of her undergraduate thesis also overlaps with the theme of this sharing session.
There was no way Xu Yingxi would miss such a good opportunity just because she didn't want to see her ex-boyfriend.
Men are not that important.
Besides, she hasn't contacted He Xu for a long time, and he hasn't bothered her recently. After not seeing each other for so long, he shouldn't suddenly make things difficult for her.
As Xu Yingxi was thinking about this, an idea suddenly occurred to her.
"Tiantian," Xu Yingxi asked, "You said before that Xiao Zhiyu asked someone to find out if I would attend the sharing session?"
"Yeah." Chai Mengtian said, "I think Xiao Xuedi must still be obsessed with you, otherwise why would he ask this... He must have also bought tickets for the sharing session, and is planning to create a chance encounter with you. What's the matter, Xixi, are you also obsessed with him-"
Xu Yingxi: "It's not what you think."
"Oh..." Chai Mengtian was a little disappointed. "I'm conceiving a novel about reconciliation and wanted to consult you guys."
Xu Yingxi didn't answer. She sent a message to Xu Xingluo: [Are you free after 6:30 tomorrow evening?]
Xu Xingluo replied immediately: [Yes! What’s the matter, Mom?]
Xu Yingxi: [There's an academic sharing session being held in the auditorium of S University. You should come and listen. I've got the tickets.]
Xu Xingluo: [Sure, no problem. I'll come right after school!]
Xu Yingxi: [Well, see you tomorrow.]
She was lucky to have come across such a rare opportunity so soon.
It just so happens that both of her exes will be present at tomorrow’s sharing session.
With Xu Xingluo's psychological quality, she will be able to determine whether the two suspects' ex-boyfriends are guilty or not by tomorrow night.
