Chapter 10 Identification of Bloodline
It was Saturday morning again, and a ray of sunlight entered Xiahou Ling's room through the blinds, caressing her cheeks. Xia Houling opened her sleepy eyes, reached out to the clock on the bedside table, and glanced at it, it was half past eight in the morning. She sat up and stretched, thinking to herself, the two brothers must have gone to work overtime again, Wang Hui and Xu Jiarui have other things, and they are about to face a lonely weekend. She sighed, went to the bathroom to wash, and then prepared to go downstairs to the kitchen to get the breakfast that her eldest brother had made for her in the morning.
Xiahou Ling had just walked halfway up the stairs and was surprised to find Xiahouling sitting in the dining room eating breakfast and reading the newspaper.
"Big brother, you didn't go to the unit?" Xiahou Ling asked.
"Rest today." Xiahoudun closed the newspaper and glanced up at Xiahouling.
"What about the second brother? He doesn't take a holiday? Xiahou Ling continued to ask.
"Obuchi went on a date." Xiahoudun said lightly.
"Huh?" Xiahou Ling walked to the table and sat down, "You didn't say anything yesterday, and you went on a date today?" ”
"Look at your worries," Xiahoudun put down the newspaper, teased his sister, and then picked up the coffee cup again, "Hurry up and have breakfast, my brother will take you shopping after eating." ”
"Really? That's great! Xia Houling thought that the eldest brother, who had barely accompanied her shopping, actually offered to go shopping, shouted excitedly, and then happily ate breakfast.
The brother and sister drove to a shopping mall in the city and strolled around until 12 o'clock in the afternoon. Xiahoudun was held by Xiao Ling in one hand, and Xiao Ling's "trophies" in the morning in the other hand, and began to look for lunch in the shopping mall.
"Let's eat this!" Xia Houling pointed to a Sichuan restaurant and said, "I want to eat boiled fish." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you, just eat boiled fish." Xiahoudun smiled and walked in with Xiahouling.
The brother and sister ordered boiled fish and a few stir-fried vegetables, and ate them with a smile. Xiahou Ling devoured happily, and she couldn't care about the lady image she was pursuing, and going out shopping with her brother after a long time made Xiahou Ling especially excited at this time. Looking at his sister's bright smile, Xia Houdun also began to talk about the interesting things in his work that he didn't have the opportunity to tell her on weekdays.
"Guess what's wrong with me?" Charhoudun told the story of a ghost who once caught stealing something in a store.
"What's wrong?" Xiahou Ling looked at Xiahoudun curiously while eating her favorite boiled fish.
Xiahoudun put down his chopsticks with a smile and gestured with his hand at the scene, "I was in the mall shouting 'Stop!'" Hold it! I was running after it, and no one else could see the ghost who saw through the wall, and they thought I was crazy. As a result, another buddy knelt there directly, and took out a wallet and said, 'Big brother, the wallet will be returned to you, don't dare next time'. ”
Xiahou Ling laughed when she heard this, and when she accidentally stuck in the fish bone, she clutched her throat in pain and motioned to Xia Hou Ling to help her pull out the fish bone.
"What's wrong? Stuck in a fish bone? Xiahoudun hurriedly got up and asked Xiahouling to open her mouth. While checking his sister's throat, he secretly took out a mouth swab from his pocket to collect oral epithelial cells, he clamped the swab with his ring finger and little thumb, and scraped it a few times on the inside of Xiahou Ling's cheek while pulling out the fish stinger.
Xiahoudun's movements were very skillful, and Xiahou Ling was thinking about the fish bones again, so she didn't even notice Xiahoudun's behavior.
"They tell you not to laugh so hard when you eat fish." Xiahoudun put the fish bone he pulled out on the table and touched Xiahouling's head with his other hand.
"It's all your fault! Old makes people laugh. Xiahou Ling pouted, she didn't see what Xiahou Ling was holding in her hand before she could recover from it, she threw her chopsticks on the table, and said coquettishly: "Don't eat it!" ”
"Okay, blame me." Xiahoudun looked at Xiao Ling with a smile, "I'll wash my hands, then go to the checkout, and we'll go home." ”
Xia Houdun came to the bathroom, put the swab that had just collected epithelial cells in a small medical box, then washed his hands, and walked towards the cash register, "Pay!" ”
The waiter glanced at Xiahoudun and said with a smile: "Hello, sir, the gentleman on the other side of your order has already bought it." ”
"What?" Xiahoudun looked suspiciously in the direction pointed by the waiter, and saw Xiahou Yuan sitting in his place chatting with Xiahou Ling with a smile. He walked over curiously and asked Xiahou Yuan, "Why are you here?" What about Ding Yao? ”
"It's not like looking at the photos sent by Xiao Ling," Xiahou Yuan pointed to the mobile phone on the table, "Ding Yao has a temporary task, so I'll come over." I thought I could rub two bites, but I came over and bought a bill. ”
"It seems that the second brother is here to pay." Xiahou Ling looked at Xiahoudun and smiled happily.
"Exactly, did you drive?" Xiahoudun asked Xiahouyuan, "I'll go do something in the afternoon, you can send Xiaoling back." ”
"What's the matter?" Xiahou Yuan took a sip of the drink on the table.
"Aunt Cheng has not been in good health recently and has been hospitalized, so I'll go see her." Xiahoudun replied.
"You're going to see Sister Chen Xuan, right?" Xiahou Yuan sneered, took out the car keys, picked up the things Xiahou Ling bought in the morning, and said, "Come on, you are busy with yours, I will send Xiaoling back." ”
The three brothers and sisters walked out of the restaurant and came to the underground garage together, Xiahou Ling said, "Say hello to Aunt Cheng and Sister Chen Xuan for me", and got into Xiahou Yuan's car and sat in the co-pilot's seat. Xiahou Yuan put the things he bought in the trunk, waved his hand and got into the car, and left with Xiahou Ling.
Aunt Cheng was indeed hospitalized, but Xiahoudun had another purpose for this trip, that is, to send a swab of epithelial cells to Chen Xuan, who worked in the hospital, and ask her to identify whether he and Xiahouling were related. Xiahoudun pondered for a moment, sighed, got into his car, and drove to the hospital.
Xiahoudun carried the fruit basket he bought on the road and came to the office where Chen Xuan worked. The door of the office was hidden, and Xiahoudun looked through the crack in the door and saw a beautiful woman standing by the office window. The beauty has long black and bright hair, and her delicate facial features grow just right on her delicate cheeks, whether it is the clear eyes, the high bridge of the nose, or the crystal clear thin lips, all of which tacitly cooperate with her to pose with various moving expressions, even the loose white coat is difficult to cover her beautiful figure. She held a teacup and looked at the scenery outside the window, but she didn't know that she was also a charming scenery in the eyes of others, she was Chen Xuan.
"There is no clinic in the afternoon?" Xiahoudun saw that Chen Xuan was not working, so he directly pushed the door and went in.
Chen Xuan looked back in surprise, and suddenly the smile on his face was like a bud waiting to be released, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'll take a look at Aunt Cheng," Xiahoudun also smiled, he knew in his heart that the woman in front of him was the other half he was looking forward to in this life, and he also knew that Chen Xuan liked him, but Xiahoudun was shy, or thought that his work was too dangerous, or he had never been able to figure out his true identity, and he had not shown his admiration for Chen Xuan, and he was even more ashamed of Chen Xuan, who also loved him but was waiting to be confessed but could only maintain an ambiguous relationship with him, "By the way, I also came to see you." ”
"My mom has been recovering well recently and will be discharged from the hospital in two days." Chen Xuan smiled happily, she walked to her desk and put down the teacup, sorted out the materials on the table, looked up and saw Xiahoudun holding a fruit basket in his hand, frowned and said, "Buy something again!" ”
"Ah, I bought it at the gate of the hospital," Xiahoudun glanced down at the fruit basket, "I saw that the fruit was quite fresh, so I thought I would buy some for you and Aunt Cheng." ”
"How expensive things are at the entrance of the hospital, don't do this next time." Chen Xuan put all the information back in place, then smiled at Xiahoudun and said, "Let's go, I don't have much to do in the afternoon, I'll accompany you to the ward." ”
The two started with greetings, talked about work and life, and came to Aunt Cheng's ward with a smile. Aunt Cheng leaned on the hospital bed for an infusion, reading the newspaper, and her face was extraordinarily kind. When she heard the footsteps, she raised her head, and saw that Xiahou Xuan was coming, and he was coming with Chen Xuan, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Xuan, sit down, sit down." ”
"I've heard you're doing well." Xiahoudun put down the fruit basket, moved a stool and sat on the edge of Aunt Cheng's bed, looking at Aunt Cheng with a smile. Aunt Cheng's name is Cheng Yun, she is over sixty years old, and she takes good care of Xiahoudun's family on weekdays, and often calls them to come to the house for dinner, and Xiahoudun, who has no maternal love in her memory, treats Aunt Cheng as her own mother.
"Yes, with you children to take care of, I will have a few more years of happiness." Aunt Cheng said with a smile and began to chat with Xiahoudun about family life.
Aunt Cheng asked about Xiahoudun's family, and then asked about work, when it came to the emotional aspect, she took Xiahoudun's hand, looked at Xiahoudun and said with a smile: "What I want to see most now is that Chen Xuan finds someone she is worthy of trust." ”
Hearing Aunt Cheng say this, Xiahoudun didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to look at Chen Xuan next to him silently.
"Mom," Chen Xuan saw that Xiahoudun didn't speak, so he took over the conversation, "You still have a long time in the future, why are you talking about this." ”
"I'm not in a hurry, your brother has already got married, and you haven't moved yet." Aunt Cheng turned her gaze to Chen Xuan again.
"Okay, let's not talk about it," Chen Xuan listened a little impatiently, "I'm busy with Xiao Dan." ”
"This kid ......" Aunt Cheng pursed her lips at Chen Xuan, looked at Xiahoudun and said, "It's true that we've been chatting for a long time, you guys go and get busy with yours." ”
"Cheng, then when you are discharged from the hospital, I will go to your house to see you." Xiahoudun said goodbye to Aunt Cheng and walked out of the ward with Chen Xuan.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the inpatient building, Xiahoudun took out a small box containing swabs, "There is one more thing I want to ask you, that is, the incident I told you last time, about Xiaoling." ”
Xiahoudun will tell Chen Xuan about almost every thing in life, although he is Chinese New Year's Eve years old this year, he has never regarded Chen Xuan, who is one year older than him, as his sister, but he always has an indescribable dependence on Chen Xuan.
And Chen Xuan faced Xiahoudun, who was close to her, naturally she was always reassuring, she took the small box and asked worriedly, "Have you really decided?" ”
Xiahoudun hesitated, although he didn't know how to face his sister who had loved him for twenty years if the appraisal result was that he and Xiahouling were not brothers and sisters, but Xiahoudun, who was eager to know his true identity, still nodded to Chen Xuan and replied, "Yes!" ”
Chen Xuan frowned, looking at the small box in her hand, she had actually always opposed Xiahoudun doing this, "What did you tell Xiaoling?" ”
"I didn't let her know." Xiahoudun said.
"Didn't let ......" Chen Xuan was startled and shook the box, "Then how did you get the identification sample?" ”
Xiahoudun sighed lightly and said, "I ate with her at noon today, she got a fish bone, and I got it when I helped her pull out the fish bone." ”
When Chen Xuan heard this, he found a reason to refuse, "That's not good, you can't eat half an hour before the swab is collected, so it won't work." ”
Xiahoudun smiled proudly and said, "The latest equipment of the Medical Research Institute of the Linglu Bureau does not have this requirement, and your hospital has recently purchased two sets, isn't it?" ”
"You know all this?" Chen Xuan looked at Xiahoudun in surprise.
Xia Houdun replied: "Although the Medical Research Institute is not under my control, the detailed information of all the equipment sold by the Spirit Record Bureau needs to be seen by the leader of the action team in the sales area, and I have seen it." ”
"I really can't help you." Chen Xuan really couldn't resist Xiahoudun, so he had to sigh slightly, and reluctantly put away the small box, "Then I'll hand over the sample to the laboratory department." ”
"Okay......" Xiahoudun replied a little weakly, he looked at his watch, it was almost five o'clock, and said to Chen Xuan: "Do you have time at night?" ”
Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly changed his sad face, revealing a somewhat mischievous smile: "It depends on what you do." If you're going to ask me out, I'll have time. ”
When Xiahoudun heard this, his frowning brows also relaxed. He knew that although he had not established a relationship with Chen Xuan, let alone lived with Chen Xuan, just by virtue of the frequent exchanges between the two of them on weekdays, they had already tacitly acknowledged it, maybe this was fate, "I know that it is not bad to open a new restaurant." ”
Chen Xuan nodded, showing an interested expression, and then held the swab box and said to Xiahoudun: "I'll go to the laboratory department to hand in the sample first, and then go back to the office to change clothes, let's go over." ”
Xiahoudun and Chen Xuan came to the aforementioned restaurant for dinner, and the exquisite decoration and delicious dishes added just the right amount of joy to the original sweetness of this couple who loved each other but could not confirm their relationship.
The two of them looked at each other affectionately and confided in each other sincerely, as if only Xiahoudun and Chen Xuan were left in this world.
"The results of the lineage test will be available in about a week." Chen Xuan looked at the mobile phone that suddenly rang and said, "The director of the laboratory department I contacted before replied to me." ”
It was such a sentence that brought Xiahoudun, who was immersed in the ocean of love, back to reality, he didn't speak, just nodded.
Chen Xuan looked at Xiahoudun who fell silent, put down her mobile phone, and she told Xiahoudun a secret that she had never told others: "Do you know, in fact, I am not my mother's biological daughter. ”
