Chapter 180 The Truth
Lu Qingxi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he spoke uncertainly: "This is about Zhai Xingchen, do we really have to tell him everything? Will Zhai Yijing help us?"
Hearing this, Xiao Lan lowered her head slightly, looked at Lu Qingxi embarrassedly, and said softly: "Qingqing, I may have to rely on you again. You can also feel that Zhai Yijing treats you specially, so..." There was a hint of helplessness and expectation in her words, as if she was asking for Lu Qingxi's help.
When Lu Qingxi heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little upset. She remembered the message she received from Sister Tang Zhi a few days ago, saying that she had tried but chose to give up for the time being. She understood that Sister Tang Zhi's giving up must have something to do with her.
Lu Qingxi is not a coy person and doesn't like to drag things out. After a brief exchange with Xiaoliu in her mind, she got Xiaoliu's advice - to seek help from Zhai Yijing. Xiaoliu believes that Zhai Yijing should be able to help its host more or less. Lu Qingxi naturally understands Xiaoliu's intention. The more she abuses Zhai Xingchen, the more points she can get. Accumulating more points means more protection, so she decided to adopt this suggestion.
Xiao Lan stood aside, watching Lu Qingxi's decision, and was secretly happy in her heart. She knew that as long as Qingxi was willing to take action, it would always bring good results.
Not long after, Zhai Yijing came back. He knocked gently at the door, pushed it open after getting permission, and then carefully closed the door. His eyes fell directly on Lu Qingxi, as if he ignored everyone else.
"Qingxi, what do you want to ask me?" Zhai Yijing asked straight to the point. Lu Qingxi took a deep breath and said, "Can you get a paternity test between Zhai Xingchen and your father?"
When Zhai Yijing heard Lu Qingxi's request, he felt a complex emotion. He didn't expect her to make such a request, and he was stunned for a moment, neither asking the reason nor agreeing immediately. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I'm afraid I can't easily agree to this. But if you have other needs, I will do my best to meet them."
Recalling the past, Zhai Yijing couldn't help but feel a little guilty. At that time, he was young and ignorant, and his heart was filled with hatred and revenge against Zhai Lin. When he learned that his mother Shen Xi had a miscarriage due to a misunderstanding of Zhai Lin and Fang Rong's relationship and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, he was filled with anger and grief. In the end, Shen Xi still couldn't survive that hurdle, and he lost his mother and unborn brother.
The young Zhai Yijing was filled with hatred for Zhai Lin. He took Zhai Xingchen, who was abandoned in the hospital, back to his grandfather's house and lied that he was his younger brother. He made his family believe this lie and let Zhai Xingchen spend his childhood at his grandfather's house. However, as Zhai Xingchen grew up, they gradually discovered that his eye color was different from that of ordinary people. Fortunately, Zhai Lin was too sad about Shen Xi's death and did not want to be sad, so he did not visit Zhai Xingchen, which also preserved Zhai Xingchen's secret.
Zhai Yijing instilled hatred for Fang Rong in Zhai Xingchen since he was a child, making him regard Fang Rong as an enemy. When Zhai Xingchen grew up, he gradually realized the doubts about his identity, but out of trust and dependence on Zhai Yijing, he always listened to Zhai Yijing. It was not until Zhai Yijing understood the truth of the year that he realized how excessive he had been to Zhai Xingchen. He was filled with guilt and regret, but now that things had come to this, he did not know how to face and make amends.
Now, Zhai Yijing was struggling to uncover Zhai Xingchen's true identity. He just couldn't bear to uncover this secret that had been buried for many years. Therefore, even in the face of Lu Qingxi's request, he could only not stop it, but could not take the initiative to provide information.
After leaving Lu Qingxi's room, Zhai Yijing felt extremely heavy-hearted. He did not return to his room directly, but involuntarily came to Zhai Xingchen's door. He gently pushed the door open and walked in, and saw Zhai Xingchen holding Lu Qingxi's painting and looking at it in fascination.
Zhai Yijing coughed twice awkwardly, and Zhai Xingchen came back to his senses and looked at him in surprise: "Brother, why are you here?" There was a trace of panic in his eyes, as if he was worried about something.
Zhai Yijing took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Xingchen, do you know why Qingxi went to your room that day?" There was a hint of seriousness in his voice.
Zhai Xingchen lowered his head and was silent for a while before he whispered, "Brother, I know why." His voice trembled a little, as if he was trying to control his emotions.
Zhai Yijing looked at him quietly without saying anything. He knew that Zhai Xingchen had guessed Lu Qingxi's purpose and realized that the secret of his identity might be revealed.
After a long while, Zhai Xingchen raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination: "Brother, I want to talk to her myself."
Zhai Yijing frowned slightly when he heard this. He was a little worried that Zhai Xingchen would be hurt by this, but in the end he said nothing. He understood that Zhai Xingchen had grown up and had his own ideas and decisions. He could only support him silently and hope that he could face everything bravely.
Lu Qingxi's foot injury finally healed, and she returned to school with great expectations, preparing for the final exam of her sophomore year. During this period, she received care and condolences from almost all of her classmates, which made her feel warm. However, she felt a little reluctant in her heart, because she knew that her mission line was about to end, which also meant that she was about to leave this place full of memories.
On the eve of the exam, Lu Qingxi found Jimo Chen and said to him seriously, "I plan to take the exam seriously and I must do my best this time." Jimo Chen looked at her determined eyes and sensed something in his heart, but he did not ask any more questions. He just smiled and nodded, indicating that he would also do his best.
On the day of the exam, both of them performed at their best and finally achieved excellent results with full marks. Their talents were once again recognized by everyone, and the title of high-value academic couple was once again pushed to the top of the school forum.
Lu Qingxi looked at the hot discussions on the forum, feeling both emotional and satisfied. She knew that the experience during this period would become her precious memory. Although the quest line was about to end, she believed that their friendship and feelings would continue.
