"Ah..." Lian Qingyang lowered his head, allowing Tang Yue to pluck more easily.
Tang Yue fiddled with Lian Qingyang’s hair for a bit, pulling a strand here and a strand there, then placed them on a tissue nearby. Seven or eight short hairs lay on the white tissue. Lian Qingyang leaned closer, looking at them for a while but didn’t see anything wrong with the hair. He asked, "Sister Xiao Yue, where is this hair brittle?"
They seemed quite black, indeed.
"Xiao Yang, make sure to nourish your hair regularly. Last time, I bought a few bottles of shampoo. You can take one back with you." Tang Yue skillfully changed the topic.
Si Yu stood up and said, "Come on, I’ll get it for you."
"Alright."
Lian Qingyang also stood up and, before leaving, remembered to say, "Thank you, Sister Xiao Yue."
"You’re welcome." Tang Yue watched his back and smiled, her gaze falling on the seven or eight strands of hair on the white tissue, which she carefully wrapped up.
After a while, Si Yu returned.
Tang Yue handed over the hair on the tissue and said, "Si Yu, we’re counting on you to help arrange a paternity test."
"Don’t worry, the hospital I found is surely reliable." Si Yu took the hair and asked, "Did you take Mom’s hair too?"
"I’ll get it tonight." Tang Yue originally planned to take it secretly, but was worried the results might be affected. Besides, Zhang Hualian was eager to confirm whether Lian Qingyang was her child, having held this in her heart for a long time.
Night.
All the guests had left, Tang Jun and the others had gone to sleep, and Zhang Hualian came to Tang Yue’s room.
"Xiao Yue, did you say we’ll soon know if Xiao Yang is my child?" Zhang Hualian excitedly held Tang Yue’s hand.
Tang Yue leaned against the bed, gazing at Zhang Hualian’s excited face, and comforted her, "Yes, in a few days we’ll know. But, Mom, I need to pull a few hairs from you."
"Okay, okay, okay. Not just a few hairs, even cutting my hair, I have no objections." Zhang Hualian was too excited to speak coherently.
"Puh~"
Tang Yue couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Mom, cutting hair won’t work."
While Zhang Hualian was not paying attention, Tang Yue plucked a few hairs from her and also wrapped them in a tissue. She said, "Mom, please be patient for a few days; the results will be out soon."
"Alright."
Zhang Hualian’s lips trembled as if she wanted to say more, but didn’t know what to say. As she left, her eyes were a bit red.
"I wish Xiao Yang were really my younger brother." Tang Yue sighed. If not, her mom would surely be very disappointed.
"Facts are facts, Xiao Yue. This kind of thing can’t just be wished to come true." Si Yu consoled her, recalling what Meng Jin said to him today. After thinking for a while, he said, "Xiao Yue, Grandpa Meng wants to see you."
"Sure." Tang Yue smiled and said, "I’m not some big shot. However, it’ll require taking the car."
"You agreed?" Si Yu was somewhat surprised.
