Ling Qing sighed, “She said you have thick thighs and that I should hold onto you tightly.”

Hearing this, Yu Chen burst out laughing, “That’s pretty good.”

He kissed Ling Qing a couple of times and continued, “It’s a pity that we are at your house tonight. Tomorrow I will work hard to get you pregnant as soon as possible.”

Ling Qing：！！！

Ling Qing did not think there was any need to refute him！

After all, it is possible to give birth!

“Let’s forget about it. Indulging in sex will hurt your body. Better to wait for two more days.”

“Then it’ll just take two days to get you pregnant.”

Ling Qing：……It’s better to get a divorce!

The two got intimate in the room for a while. At 7pm, the Ling family had a formula dinner and Ling Qing and Yu Chen went downstairs to join them.

Since it was a rare family occasion, Father Ling brought out a wine bottle and everyone had a drink. It also commemorated the New Year.

Ling Qing was afraid of getting drunk so didn’t drink much but Ling Bai drank a lot and finally raised a toast to his parents with sparkling eyes, as if he was about to cry any second.

Ling Qing guessed that he had probably discussed the date with Shu Tong and sensing that it might be soon, he understood Ling Bai’s actions.

It was rare that Ling Qing did not hit him but also had a drink with him and tousled his hair.

Ling Qing had guessed it right. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ling Bai and Shu Tong made a bold decision. Without the knowledge of either family, they booked a hotel and brought both families together.

Father and Mother Ling arrived earlier and they were very puzzled after they were seated, “Why did we have to come out today? Couldn’t we have a get-together at home?”

“Something is going to happen”, Ling Bai faltered in his speech.

Soon, Shu Tong arrived with his parents.

When the two families met each other, the four people were stunned as they had no idea what their young ones were up to.

Ling Bai led, “Dad, mom, you know Shu Tong. These are his parents.”

Father and Mother Ling gave a “hmm” and looked at each other, feeling that the situation was unusual.

Shu Tong’s parents also looked at each other and wondered what their son was up to.

Just as Ling Bai was feeling awkward, Ling Qing and Yu Chen arrived. Ling Qing, as soon as he saw all the protagonists present, greeted them politely and pulled Yu Chen down to take a seat.

The room was silent.

After what seemed like a long time, Father Ling asked his youngest. “What’s the matter little one? Both you and Shu Tong have called your parents here. What’s going on?”

Ling Bai had always been a timid child and couldn’t say it so he turned to Shu Tong and said, “You say it.”

Although Shu Tong was bold, he did not know how to broach the subject that would hurt his parents so he quibbled along with Ling Bai.

“Don’t you always say that I can’t do this and I can’t do that? Aren’t you the only smart one here? You tell them!”

“Now you say that I’m smart about this kind of thing. Don’t you always dislike listening to me? You tell them ba!” 

Seeing the two of them like this, both Father and Mother Ling felt uneasy.

Father Ling sternly said, “Ling Bai, tell us what is going on here! Why have you called us out here during the holidays?”

Ling Bai couldn’t say it.

As he stared at father Ling, his eyes became sore. 

Seeing that Ling Bai was about to cry, Mother Ling felt that her premonition was about to come true. She spoke to Ling Bai in a calm but irrefutable tone, “Ling Bai, let me tell you! Just because your brother married Yu Chen doesn’t mean that you can also get married to a man. Look at how old you are! Are you trying to kill your father and i?”

Ling Bai: ? ? ?

His eyes instantly stopped being sore.

Shu Tong was also taken aback for a moment. What the hell is with this kind of reasoning!

‌And Ling Bai, are you crazy? Quickly refute her!

He quickly said, “It’s not what you think it is.”

Mother Ling snorted coldly and stood up. “That’s for the best. Xiao Tong, I welcome you to come to my house to play on the weekends but if you want to develop a relationship with Ling Bai that goes beyond friendship, you’d better stop now!”

Shu Tong：……

_{Shu Tong glanced at Ling Bai beside him. How did he develop a relationship with Ling Bai other than just being friends?! This guy is so stupid! Do you think I have lived too long?!}

_{There was still disgust in Ling Bai’s eyes, and he said angrily, “What kind of eyes do you have! I like mature and charming people who give me a sense of security. I don’t even want you to back me up like this!”}

_{Father and Mother Ling:……}

Ling Qing and Yu Chen:……

Ling Qing raised his hand to touch his forehead. Didn’t you have a clever mind a few days ago? Why are you being stupid again today? This type of self-detonation was too fast!

On the contrary, Mother Ling was able to comfort herself after being surprised a little. Her son isn’t as straight as he should be. Alas, he was just a little silly.

“Let us go home now, Ling Bai”, said Mother Ling

Ling Bai looked at her with a troubled expression and said, “I haven’t said what I’ve gathered you all today to say. I cannot go home yet.”

“You both cannot leave yet as well.”

Father Ling angrily said, “Ling Bai, what is the matter?Tell me now!”

Ling Bai could say nothing, only being able to anxiously bite his lips.

Ling Qing was dying of laughter but felt that it was too cruel for both Ling Bai and Shu Tong to hear such words so he could only sigh and say, “Ling Bai and Shu Tong, their relationship is not what you think it is.”　　

In an instant, everyone’s eyes in the room now turned to him. 

Ling Qing looked at the six pairs of eyes trained on him and said gently, Mom and dad, Xiao Bai is not a child of our family but a child of the Shu family. Mom gave birth to Shu Tong but the nurse at the time was negligent and the babies ended up being swapped.”

Looking at the surprised people in front of him, he continued, “I was the one who discovered it first when I thought that I was not Mother’s child and did a paternity test. It turned out that I was but Xiao Bai wasn’t. Later, I asked Yu Chen to help check the events of that year and found Shu Tong, who is my real blood brother.”

“I told the two of them one after another and it was up to them whether they wanted to change back or not. This was an accident and no one here is to blame. I gave them the power of making the decision for themselves because they are the youngest and will be the most affected by what will follow when all of this comes out.”

“Shu Tong felt that everyone had the right to know. He was worried that if he kept it a secret and something unfortunate happened, he would be left with regrets and so we’d discussed and picked today to tell you guys.”

“But you’re all here too and this kind of thing is still too cruel to be said out loud even though we prepared and prepared for it, we are still unable to say it.” 

Mother Ling heard this and turned to look at Ling Bai who had his face down with tears streaming down his face and even though Shu Tong wasn’t crying, his eyes appeared red too.

She sat on the chair silently, looking at the state of the two children in front of her but couldn’t speak.

“What all you said now, is that true?” asked Father Ling.

Ling Qing nodded, “If you don’t believe me, you can do a paternity test.”

Father Ling remained silent.

The Shu family’s parents were silent too and the room became quiet again, with complete silence.

After the long silence, it was unknown who broke it and began to speak but Ling Qing witnessed a warm and emotional moment that he wasn’t quite used to.

Ling Bai couldn’t stop his tears and in the end, Shu Tong cried too.

The adults of the two families had lived with their sons for so long that after they found out about the mix up, they both wished that they could take both the children back to their homes.

Mother Ling and Mother Shu recalled about the two children’s past together and discussed Ling Bai and Shu Tong’s affairs in detail.

They kept talking until it was almost dark outside.

When they were ready to depart, Ling Bai naturally went to Mother and Father Shu and Shu Tong went over to Mother and Father Ling.

When several people departed at the entrance of the hotel, Ling Bai kept his head down, ignoring everyone.

Ling Qing guessed that he might be crying again. Ling Bai was just like that- timid, not smart, not strong and loved to cry.

A standard little lotus, but still just a little lotus who hadn’t turned black yet.

Even if he did turn black, he wouldn’t be vicious, after all, he was just a not-so-intelligent, gullible little lotus.

Anyone can lie to him. Su Yue did it, he (LQ) did it. The only one who had never lied to him was Yu Chen, who thought of him as a little brother. But he was still chased away by the muddleheaded Ling Bai.

Sighing, he turned to Shu Tong beside him. His eyes followed the car that had just departed and his eyes were red. Obviously, he wasn’t a person who cried but today, his eyes had turned red from holding back his tears.

Ling Qing touched his head with his hand and hugged him into his arms.

“If you want to go back home, go back whenever you want. Ling Bai is a little stupid so you should be worried about your parents.”

There was a sourness in Shu Tong’s nose. He leaned back and did not speak.

Ling Qing and Shu Tong went back to the Ling’s family house together. Ling Qing didn’t want to initially but Mother Ling and Shu Tong both requested him to join them and he relented.

Ling Qing didn’t feel like he wanted to burden Mother Ling but thinking that Shu Tong might not be uncomfortable in a new environment so suddenly, he went along with Yu Chen.

While sitting in the car, Ling Qing sent a message to Ling Bai through WeChat, “When you want to come home, you can come home at any time. Our parents have raised you for so many years so it will still be okay for you to come back whenever you want to.”

After thinking about it, he sent over another message, “Don’t cry all the time. You are not young so you can’t be the same as before. The more you cry, the more people will lie to you and try to bully you.”

Ling Bai replied after a while, “I know.”

Ling Qing saw the message and thought, “Don’t I know what you know? You’re so stupid!”

Ling Qing sent over another message, “Call me if you have something to do or can’t resolve. Even if you leave the Ling family, as long as you listen to me, I won’t abandon you.”

Ling Bai: “Yes”

After a while, he replied again, “Thank you Gege.”

Ling Qing sent over an emoji and nothing was said after that.

He sighed and looked at Yu Chen beside him. “This matter should now be considered to be settled.”

“But you don’t seem to be happy,” said Yu Chen.

　　

“Originally, this was not a happy event. What’s there to be happy about?” replied Ling Qing

Yu Chen took a look at the red light, leaned over to kiss him and said, “But you did well.”

He continued to say, “You protected the image of the two families to the greatest extent, especially regarding the interests of Ling Bai and Shu Tong. No one ended up hurt during this incident and you gave them the greatest degree of choice and respect. They’ll all feel thankful to you.”

“I hope so ba.” Ling Qing said, “I hope we all have a great future.”

“Yes.” said Yu Chen softly.

Ling Qing smiled, held his hand tighter and shook it.

That night, Shu Tong talked to Mother and Father Ling for a long time and since Ling Qing had also tagged along, he supported him silently from his side by occasionally patting his head.

Needless to say, he had had contact much prior to the Ling parents and understood him better. The ones who were clueless from time to time were Mother and Father Ling and kept asking him questions about his life in the past.
