Di Mingjue glanced at Ye Ziyu, the recently plucked hair still in his hand. To avoid losing it, he needed to take it to the laboratory as soon as possible.
Moving from Xingxing's bedside to Ye Ziyu's, he deliberately stroked Ye Ziyu's hair and, while Xingxing wasn't paying attention, pulled out a strand. xxs1
"You two continue resting, I'm going out to handle some matters."
"Okay."
Di Mingjue's departure made Xingxing happy. He looked at the red bumps on Ye Ziyu's face and asked worriedly, "Will they disappear?"
"What?" Ye Ziyu asked, not understanding.
Xingxing pointed to the red bumps on his arm. "Will they disappear?"
If they didn't disappear, would she be very sad?
Ye Ziyu understood his action and replied with a smile, "Yes. After we finish this bag of anti-inflammatory medicine, the red bumps should vanish."
The red bumps were currently on the skin's surface, but with the medicine in his body, they would merely be red and not itchy.
Seeing Xingxing remain silent, Ye Ziyu quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, they'll disappear soon and won't leave any marks on the skin."
Xingxing nodded.
His concern wasn't for himself, but for Ye Ziyu.
At the laboratory.
Di Mingjue saw the doctor and placed two strands of hair, barely visible if not examined closely, in front of him. "I need to do a paternity test."
The doctor glanced at the way he held his hand and said, "Only hair?"
"Yes."
"For the accuracy of the test, it's best if you bring another item. This way, the data for comparison will be more reliable."
Following the doctor's advice, Di Mingjue decided to go back and retrieve their toothbrushes.
After handing the hair to the doctor, he sent a message to Ye Ziyu and then drove back to the Ye residence.
The commotion upon his departure was significant. Ye Shaoting came out and discovered Xingxing was gone. After checking Ye Ziyu's room, he confirmed Xingxing had been taken by them.
He dispatched people by phone to search while he sat on the sofa, deep in thought.
The teacher had called to inform him about the math Olympiad class. No matter how he schemed, he hadn't been able to hinder their growing closeness. Upon hearing that Xingxing had accompanied Ye Ziyu for hotpot, he felt an underlying unease.
It was said that a meal together and living together for a period could reveal how compatible two people were. With more time spent together, Ye Ziyu would easily sense any issues.
Sensing a car outside, Ye Shaoting watched Di Mingjue arrive, dusty and weary.
It was so late, why had he returned alone?
Ye Shaoting sat on the sofa, with the lights around him unlit.
Di Mingjue was focused on retrieving the two toothbrushes. Upon entering the living room, without any lights on, he didn't see Ye Shaoting on the sofa.
He went straight upstairs, first entering Xingxing's room. He took the toothbrush, then returned to their room. Without lingering for another moment, he hurriedly left the Ye residence.
Every move he made was under Ye Shaoting's gaze, and Ye Shaoting had guessed what he intended to do.
It seemed that the trio's departure from the house in the middle of the night had already made Ye Ziyu and the others question Xingxing's identity.
If that was the case, he shouldn't be blamed for acting ruthlessly.
After Di Mingjue arrived at the hospital, he handed the toothbrushes to the doctor and confirmed the time to collect the report.
The testing wouldn't be done quickly; it required a day. Therefore, the report could only be collected the day after tomorrow.
However, he wasn't in a hurry. The person was right beside him; if it was truly Si Bao, Xingxing wouldn't disappear again.
After all the trouble, by the time he returned to the ward, dawn had broken. Di Mingjue looked at the two of them sleeping embraced together, covered them with a blanket, and then left the ward again.
