The next morning, Tong Lu was woken up by her phone’s ringtone. She opened her eyes a little and glanced at her phone.
Ye Jin, Ji Yiming’s on the phone.
The man turned over and pulled her into his arms. He got out of bed and answered the call. Ji Yiming’s voice came from the other end.”Brother Jin, the results of the DNA test are out.”
“Speak,” he said. It was obvious that he was still in a daze, as he only said one word.
the test results of the two samples confirmed that they are direct blood relatives.
After Ji Yiming finished speaking, he felt Leng Yejin’s breathing become heavy on the other end of the line. He waited for a long time, but there was no sound from the other end of the line. In the blink of an eye, he heard the sound of the call being cut off. He was confused.
Tong Lu was still groggy and wanted to sleep. However, the soundproofing in the apartment was not very good. She could hear the sounds of other residents moving around downstairs clearly. She gradually woke up from her sleepy state. She raised her head and wanted to ask for a good morning kiss, but she realized that the man beside her had already sat up.
He lit a cigarette and sat on the bed to smoke, choking her so much that she wanted to cough.
Tong Lu raised her head and complained. ye Jie, don’t smoke. It’s choking. she stopped abruptly at this point, because …
“Ye Jin, what’s wrong?”
Leng Yejin could not control the tears in the corners of his eyes. Tong Lu was shocked. Her mind was completely clear now, and she quickly sat up.
Leng Yejin quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He rolled out of bed and put on his shoes. He grabbed the ashtray on the bedside table and strode out of the room, leaving Tong Lu alone with his back view. He did not want any strangers to come near him and did not want to disturb him.
Tong Lu quickly rolled out of bed, put on her slippers, and chased after him. There was no one in the living room, only the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
“Ye Jin? Ye Jin, are you feeling uncomfortable? Why are you crying?”
“No, I was smoked.”
A man’s muffled voice could be heard from the other side of the door.
Was that really the case? Tong Lu was not sure. She knocked on the door, but there was no response. She pondered for a long time before she went back to her room to get dressed and tidy up her blanket. She wanted to make breakfast, but the apartment she was staying in at the last minute did not have any ingredients for breakfast.
She did buy some snacks from the supermarket last night, but she could not have them for breakfast. She stood by the window and saw that there seemed to be a breakfast stall downstairs, so she went downstairs to buy breakfast.
There were soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns. Even though they were all coarse grain, there were still many people lining up to buy breakfast. Tong Lu waited for a long time before she went upstairs with two sets of breakfast. When she returned to the house, she saw that Leng Yejin had already walked out of the bathroom. He was sitting on the couch in the living room.
Tong Lu placed her breakfast on the table and walked toward him. She felt that his expressionless face was a little unusual.
She sat beside him and put her hand on his. She asked with concern, ” “Are you really okay?”
Leng Yejin did not answer. He pulled her over and sat her down on his lap.”What did you buy?”
“Soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, and steamed buns. There’s nothing else to eat nearby, so we’ll just make do with it. I saw that the business of that stall was quite good, so the taste should be good.” Tong Lu reached out and touched Leng Yejin’s face. “Is there something that made you unhappy?”
She saw the worry between his eyebrows that couldn’t be dispelled, and her hand gently stroked his knotted eyebrows, trying to unfurl them. “If there’s anything you’re unhappy about, tell me. Although I might not be able to help you, it will make you feel better. Was it ye Rong’s illness? Or is it because Mr. Xu found out about my background that you’re having a hard time dealing with it?”
He grabbed her hand and shook his head. His eyes were deep like a huge Whirlpool-a Whirlpool of deep pain, swirling and rolling in the depths of his eyes.
