Chapter 120.2: The Research Fanatic Who Lost His Child (6)

The teenager, who had been sitting silently beside Zhou Chuchu since he got into the car, slightly leaned his head against the window. His eyes, which had been closed, slightly opened and looked out at the fleeting scenery outside the window, hiding the tears in his eyes.

When he first got into the car, he gestured and said he was carsick.

Mrs. Lin thoughtfully asked him to lean on her shoulder, but Wang Xuan refused and leaned against the car window.

Mr. Lin turned the music off in the car, so as not to disturb him. It was silent inside the car at the moment.

Actually, he lied. He wasn’t carsick. He just didn’t want to hear the truth from Mr. and Mrs. Lin.

This was the first time he lied to someone he wanted to be close to, so Wang Xuan’s heart was filled with guilt and loss.

He felt that he was too shameless and greedy.

Getting help and wanting more.

If it were Mr. and Mrs. Lin, it wouldn’t be like this.

But... he didn’t want to let go.

He was unwilling to open his eyes, unwilling to sit up, unwilling to listen to Mr. and Mrs. Lin tell him the truth.

Just this once.

Wang Xuan prayed in his heart.

Just this once, just this once.

Just let him pretend that this was his Mom and Dad, that this was his family.

They loved him in the same way they loved their own child. Protecting him and helping him not out of pity, but rather because they loved him.

He wanted to fantasized just this once. By the time the car reached its destination, he would have a perfect grateful smile on his face.

No loss would be revealed and no sadness would be felt.

He would say thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Lin, instead of secretly calling them Mom and Dad in his heart.

Wang Xuan gazed out the window, at the various landscapes. His eyes blinked repeatedly, struggling to hide the tears that were welling up.

He opened his mouth, in the angle that the other two people in the car couldn’t see, and silently called out.

Dad, Mom...

The satisfaction he got from calling out these two words was much more than Wang Xuan could have imagined. So, he relaxed and smiled, the sourness under his eyes transforming into shyness and joy.

He leaned against the window, his eyes looking out, feeling that inner contentment and praying silently in his heart.

/ hope the journey back is a little longer and slower.

Wang Xuan’s mind went blank.

Lin Shiheng, who was still sitting in front of him, kept his position of looking back. When Wang Xuan looked at him, he noticed that Mr. Lin, who he had always thought was omnipotent, also had red eyes.

He was lowering his hand from wiping the corner of his eyes. When he saw Wang Xuan looking at him, he solemnly spoke in a hoarse voice, “Xuan Xuan, don’t blame your Mom. I lost you, she has been looking for you for the past 10 years and has never given up. I know you must have gone through something to refuse to acknowledge us. Please believe Mom and Dad, we’ll never let anything happen to you again.”

Dad, Mom...?

Wang Xuan was practically bewildered. But at the same time, great joy quickly filled his entire heart once more.

He pinched himself hard in the arm.

It hurts.

But the pain was sweet.

Mr. Lin said that he was his father.

Mrs. Lin said that she was his mother.

They said, he was their child.

Wang Xuan could hear his heart beating loudly.

Thump —

Thump —

It seemed like a joyful soundtrack, announcing that his dream had come true.

Accompanied by the sound, he reached out and lifted Zhou Chuchu, who was crying on his shoulder.

As she sobbed and looked up at him, Wang Xuan held out his hand and gestured to her.

[Mom.]

After that, he turned around and looked at Lin Shiheng.

[Dad.]

Wang Xuan still had tears on his face, but he broke out into a happy smile.

Smiling and crying at the same time.

[Thank you for finding me.]

Thank you for telling me, after treating me so gently, that...

Tm your child.
