Chapter 315: In the Light
It was already 9 o'clock in the evening when Qingqing left.

With a kind heart, she repeatedly reminded Nanzhi to go to bed early and not to hurt her body by staying up late, and then she left reluctantly.

Nanzhi also felt a little disappointed.

But Nan Yi is not around now.

——As the only child of the fourth generation of the Qing family, Qingxi was very happy that he had a younger brother and insisted on pulling Nanyi to sleep with him.

In order to attract Nan Yi, he even described in vivid detail how beautiful the starry sky projection in his room was and how fun the VR game console was.

Nan Yi was indeed tempted, and after getting Nan Zhi's ready consent, he reluctantly accepted Qing Xi's invitation.

I guess right now, the two brothers are playing games enthusiastically in Qingxi's room.

However, Zhou Ling promised Nanzhi that she would arrange for the two children to go to bed on time at 9:, so that Nanzhi, who had been busy all day and whose injuries were not fully healed, could have a good rest without worrying.

Nanzhi did not refuse this kindness. She handed the child to her cousin's wife with confidence and enjoyed the rare time alone.

Hmm... I'm still not used to it.

It’s strange that she, who used to love being alone, now feels her room is empty.

Just at this moment, Nanzhi's cell phone rang.

She was a little surprised, picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID.

Hmm? Why is it Lu Shixu?

So, Nanzhi's first question after answering the call was:
"Why are you calling me so late?"

Nanzhi naturally thought that Lu Shixu had something to talk to her about.

Unexpectedly, this answer caused the microphone to remain silent for two seconds.

Then, Lu Shixu's deep voice sounded:
"Zhizhi, today is the third day of our official relationship."

There was a hint of resentment in his tone.

Unfortunately, Nanzhi couldn't really feel it, she was just surprised:

"It's already been three days?"

So many things happened in such a short time, and my mood was so up and down that time seemed to be so long that it seemed like a century had passed.

Lu Shixu and Nanzhi had the same feelings about this.

But his sentiments were different from Nanzhi's:
"Yes, it's been three days. We haven't seen each other for a day. I have been waiting for your call today."

When it comes to the first half of the sentence, Nanzhi doesn't feel anything.

It was not until she heard the second half of the sentence that she felt a little guilty.

"Sorry, I forgot."

She is honest.

Little did he know that these words pierced Lu Shixu's heart.

Although Lu Shixu has gradually realized that Nanzhi's feelings for him are not deep, this relationship is almost something he asked for.

However, being vaguely aware of it and experiencing it personally are two different things.

He was in a very depressed mood and fell into silence.

Nanzhi was unaware of this, and she mentioned what happened today:
"The paternity test report is out. It turns out that I am really Qingzhi. This feeling is so wonderful."

After being depressed for only 2 or 3 seconds, Lu Shixu quickly recovered:
"Are you happy then?"

Nanzhi smiled:

"Of course, the Qing family is very good, and the Qing family members are also very good."

She opened up a little to Lu Shixu, but not yet to the point of pouring out her heart, so she restrained herself from making these few comments.

However, these comments are already very high.

Lu Shixu felt a little sour.

Also, be happy that she is happy.

The atmosphere in the Qing family was indeed good, and he was deeply impressed by the few times he had contact with them.

This is in stark contrast to his childhood experiences and family.

Lu Shixu fell into the abyss and struggled to climb out like a devil. But he hoped that Nanzhi could always be in the light and warmth, without experiencing any hardship...

Lu Shixu slowly let out a breath of air:
"Zhizhi, if you..."

He wanted to tell Nanzhi that no matter what difficulties and troubles she encountered, he would always stand by her side.

Unfortunately, just as he started to speak, a chaotic noise came from Nanzhi.

It seemed like Nanzhi hurriedly put away her cell phone, and the fabric of the quilt rustled across the receiver, making a rustling sound.

Then, a young and somewhat doubtful voice came out——

"Mom, are you talking on the phone?"

"No, I was just playing on my phone... Ahem, Yiyi, why did you come back so suddenly? Weren't you playing games with Brother Xiaoxi?"

"He is not Brother Xiaoxi."

"Ok?"

"We just played a game and made a bet, and the winner is the older brother. Even though it was my first time playing, I still beat Qingxi! So I'm the older brother Yiyi! He's the younger brother Xiaoxi!"

"Pfft...Okay, okay. So, Yiyi, you don't want to sleep with your little brother Xi either?"

"That's not the case. I'm worried about mom. Does your wound hurt? Grandma said that you need to rest more so that the injury can heal faster. So mom, don't play with your phone anymore. It's bad for your eyes."

"Okay, got it, little housekeeper."

There was no goodbye afterwards, and Lu Shixu only heard the busy tone of the phone being hung up.

I think Nanzhi was afraid of being discovered by her son, so she hung up the phone.

Lu Shixu: ...

Well, he confirmed that he couldn't get past Nan Yi with his identity.

To the extent that they don't even dare to reveal their identity, the serious relationship creates a sense of secrecy.

So who is Nan Yi's biological father? Why is he always against him?

Lu Shixu had a gloomy face and his fingers were tapping rhythmically on his phone.

Time passes by little by little.

Tao An had to remind him:
"Sir, we have arrived at the old house."

To be exact, it's been almost 30 minutes.

The people in the old house and the old gentleman had already received the news and woke up from their sleep and waited in the living room.

The results of it?
The gentleman had been delayed in the car for nearly half an hour because of a call from Miss Nan, and he still showed no sign of going in.

Tao An thought of the elderly Mr. Lu and couldn't help but remind him.

He means well.

Unfortunately, Lu Shixu only raised his crow-feather eyelashes, with a cold light flashing in his eyes:
"Don't talk too much."

Tao An's heart tightened and he quickly lowered his head in response.

Lu Shixu was slow to enter the house.

The old house was brightly lit, and it was obvious that they were waiting for him.

Another half an hour passed, and his grandfather Lu Wenzong had been waiting for a full hour.

Lu Shixu calculated the time and pushed the door and got out of the car.

Lu Shixu himself lives in a courtyard house in the city center, and the Lu family's old house is similar to the Qing family's. It is located in a remote and quiet environment, with mountains behind it and water in front of it, which can be called a Feng Shui treasure land.

However, the Lu family’s old house is not as graceful and exquisite, nor as magnificent and beautiful as the Qing family’s old house. It is very spacious, like a cave in the dense forest.

And in this cave lived an old and useless lion king.

Perhaps this lion king was once a powerful figure when he was strong.

But the Lion King is old after all.

In Lu Shixu's opinion, since he is old, he should just stay where he is. Why do he need to do useless things to make him unhappy?

The most taboo thing for old age is not being able to recognize oneself.

It seems that his grandson is going to teach his grandfather a good lesson today.
