After Ye Shaoting took the items to the room, he left after giving a few instructions to Xingxing.
Without his presence, Xingxing felt much more at ease. When Ye Ziyu showed him affection, he was no longer overly shy.
"Little Ran, Xingxing, eat slowly. We're going to talk to the doctor about your physical condition. We'll be back soon." Ye Ziyu put down her chopsticks and looked at Xingxing and Xiaoran, who were eating with their heads down.
Upon hearing they were leaving, Xingxing immediately looked up at Ye Ziyu.
"Be good, we'll be back to accompany you after we're done." Ye Ziyu habitually reached out and stroked Xingxing's cheek.
She used to coax Yuze and the others like this, and now she couldn't help but make these intimate gestures towards Xingxing.
Xiaoran, engrossed in the food, nodded in agreement to their departure, "Come back soon."
"Okay." Ye Ziyu promised, stood up, and left with Di Mingjue.
They did go to see a doctor, but not the one they imagined.
Taking the elevator to the identification department, Ye Ziyu's heart pounded with anxiety.
"Mingjue, what do you think the results will be?" Ye Ziyu stood at the entrance of the identification department, hesitant to enter.
She was afraid!
A sense of unease filled her, and bad outcomes seemed to beckon her.
Di Mingjue smoothed her hair that was draped over her back, gently reassuring her, "No matter what the results are, we must accept them with grace. On the path to finding our fourth child, we cannot be affected by any bad outcomes."
She understood the logic, but Ye Ziyu couldn't control her thumping heart.
Looking inside, she tugged Di Mingjue's hand and said, "You go in and get it. I'll wait for you at the door."
"Okay." Just as Di Mingjue took a step forward to agree, Ye Ziyu pulled him back.
"Let's go together."
After saying that, she regretted it.
"Never mind, you go."
Back and forth, Di Mingjue's sleeve was pulled and creased by Ye Ziyu.
As she was about to make another decision, Di Mingjue firmly grasped her hand. "Together."
His palm enclosed her fist, as if providing a strong support.
They entered the identification room together. Di Mingjue saw the doctor from that day.
"Doctor Zhang, are the results out?"
"They are. I'll get them for you now."
Doctor Zhang took out the file they needed from among many folders.
Holding the identification results felt like a hot potato. Ye Ziyu dared not open it, and even Di Mingjue felt a surge of nervousness.
"Mingjue, is Xingxing our fourth child?" Ye Ziyu asked softly.
If not, what about the birthmark on his body, his favorite foods, and the similar allergies? Where was their fourth child?
Di Mingjue held Ye Ziyu's hand, then released it after a moment, letting out a heavy sigh. He lowered his head and opened the document bag in his hand.
Only a small portion of the paper inside was visible, and he was so nervous he could barely breathe. Glancing at Ye Ziyu, who was equally afraid to look, he held the document upright, his palm supporting it from below.
"What are the results? Is it Xingxing?" Ye Ziyu asked impatiently.
Facing the results, Di Mingjue's expression was grave. He didn't know how to tell Ye Ziyu.
Waiting for a response, Ye Ziyu looked back at him. Seeing the heaviness in the corner of his eyes, she already had an answer.
"It's not?"
"Mm."
The result was 0.something percent, not even reaching one percent. The text at the bottom clearly stated that there was no blood relationship between them.
All the coincidences were just coincidences. Xingxing was not their fourth child.
Ye Ziyu reached out and took the results from Di Mingjue's hand. She scanned them all, unable to accept the outcome.
"How could it not be? He clearly has a birthmark, and we feel so familiar with each other." Ye Ziyu murmured. After a long while, she suddenly grabbed Di Mingjue's hand excitedly, "Is it a mistake?"
