Ye Rongxu had planned to wait until Qin Chaoyan finished the college entrance examination before verifying this matter.
But the next day at the school gate, looking at the bruised face that didn’t resemble Zhang Yun at all, he couldn’t resist gesturing for Qin Chaoyan to come closer.
Qin Chaoyan didn’t understand why, but still half-knelt in front of him.
The school gate faced east, and Qin Chaoyan had his back to the school gate. As the morning sun rose on the opposite side of the city, its rays bathed the two of them in light. The sunlight and shadows played across Qin Chaoyan’s face, highlighting his features.
Ye Rongxu raised his hand, his fingertips lightly touching his cheeks; his expression was particularly serious.
Qin Chaoyan thought he was distressed about the wound on his face. His eyes flickered, and he reached out to take hold of Ye Rongxu’s wrist, saying he didn’t feel any pain.
But Ye Rongxu’s palm quickly covered his face, his fingertips agile like fish in water, touching his ear, bringing a slight itch, and then his long and beautiful fingers passed through his black hair.
The bodyguards beside him all looked away unconsciously. Qin Chaoyan also coughed softly, his ears gradually turning red.
He raised his head slightly, looked at Ye Rongxu with his handsome face, and said awkwardly in a low voice, “Xu Xu, this is the school gate–”
Before he finished the rest of the words, he suddenly “hissed,” raised his hand to cover his scalp that suddenly felt painful, and looked at Ye Rongxu dumbfoundedly.
Ye Rongxu pinched a small handful of hair with his white fingertips; his expression remained innocent: “I see that you seem to have some gray hair and want to help you pull it out.”
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
Ye Rongxu, who looked at him with pure eyes: “…”
After staring at each other for two seconds, Qin Chaoyan was defeated, looking at the handful of hair in his hand, and asked, “Where is the gray hair? ”
Why did he only see black hair?
“Maybe I saw it wrong, probably because of the sun exposure.” Ye Rongxu’s eyes became even more sincere and innocent.
Qin Chaoyan was helpless, leaned over, and whispered into his ear with gritted teeth, “If you pull it out like this…” Your boyfriend will be bald sooner or later.
After saying that, he rubbed Ye Rongxu’s head in revenge, then stood up and said unhappily, “I’ll go to the examination room first.”
Ye Rongxu nodded, waved his hand, and said, “Fighting, brother!”
He waited for Qin Chaoyan to walk away before he restrained his smile and said to his bodyguards, “Let’s go to the hospital.”
At the same time, he put away the hair strand.
When he saw the follicles on the hair, his beautiful fingers twitched slightly, and he felt a moment of guilt: he’s not going to have a small bald patch on his head, right?
But there’s no other way. Only hair with hair follicles can be taken for paternity testing. And pulling out more hair strands is for precaution.
Ye Rongxu didn’t want to tell Qin Chaoyan about this for now. The other party only has one day left for the college entrance examination, so it’s better to wait until he finishes before discussing such a big matter.
Besides, this is just his guess. If he guesses wrong, wouldn’t it bother the other party if he tells him in advance? It’s better to wait for the test results to come out.
The group soon arrived at the hospital.
Zhang Yun’s sample was easier to get. She lived in the hospital; in order not to alert the enemy, Ye Rongxu asked someone to help and quickly got it done.
After handing both samples to the doctor, he was slightly worried.
It’s really baffling. It’s obviously Qin Chaoyan’s business, but why is he so nervous?
He breathed a sigh of relief again, secretly telling himself not to think too much, just wait for the results.
Paternity testing will take half a day to get the results even if it’s accelerated. The hospital’s smell is unpleasant to Ye Rongxu, so he plans to go back and wait.
Coincidentally, when he arrived at the lobby on the first floor, he met Cao Yuxuan and Xie Yu.
It’s unknown when these two got in touch, but it’s not surprising; after all, they played together when they were young.
Xie Yu was injured somehow, with gauze wrapped around his head, and was being supported by Cao Yuxuan.
Neither of them noticed Ye Rongxu and his group. They were walking and complaining about something.
Ye Rongxu stopped to look at them. His eyes landed on Xie Yu’s face, and suddenly he felt a flash of familiarity, the same feeling he had when he first saw the adult Xie Yu at Qinyuan that day.
Back then he didn’t understand the feeling, but this time he seemed to have grasped it. He hurriedly called out “Xie Yu” and maneuvered his wheelchair to go over.
Xie Yu stopped abruptly when he heard the voice. Turning around, he saw it was him and exclaimed in surprise, “Xiao Xuxu?”
Cao Yuxuan, who was supporting him, was also surprised and greeted, “Rongxu, you are in the hospital too? Are you feeling unwell again?”
Ye Rongxu didn’t answer them but controlled the wheelchair to Xie Yu and carefully observed his eyebrows and eyes.
Sharp eyebrows, a little deep eye sockets, long eyelashes, double eyelids, and the shape of the eyes…
In a flash, he finally caught the source of the familiarity: Xie Yu’s eyebrows… are a bit like Qin Chaoyan’s.
However, Xie Yu is of mixed race and has some Caucasian bone structure, which is different from Qin Chaoyan’s deep features. In addition, his eyes are a bit blue, which dilutes this similarity. But upon closer inspection, one can still discern some.
That’s right; if Zhang Yun’s son isn’t Qin Chaoyan but Qin Jingxu, then the two must have swapped identities.
If this is true, then Qin Chaoyan is Aunt Zhao’s… that is, Qin Qijiang’s first wife, Xie Yunzhao’s son.
And Xie Yunzhao is Xie Yu’s aunt; she and Xie Yu’s mother, Xie Yunhua, are sisters, so it makes sense that Xie Yu and Qin Chaoyan have some similarity.
Actually, Ye Rongxu had thought yesterday that Qin Chaoyan might be Aunt Zhao’s son, but he didn’t expect Xie Yu to look like Qin Chaoyan at that time.
Right, if Xie Yu and Qin Chaoyan were cousins, wouldn’t it be possible to do kinship testing? As long as it is confirmed that there’s a blood relationship between the two, it can be confirmed that Qin Chaoyan is Aunt Zhao’s son, and he and Qin Jingxu have indeed been swapped at birth.
Ye Rongxu’s eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Xie Yu like a moving blood bag.
Xie Yu felt a chill on his back, his hair stood on end, and he subconsciously became nervous: “W-what do you want?” What kind of look is that?
Ye Rongxu came back to his senses and suddenly remembered that he didn’t seem to pay much attention to Xie Yu when he met him the last two times. He cleared his throat and started with a greeting: “Cao Yuxuan, Brother Xie Yu, why are you two in the hospital? And what’s going on with Brother Yu?”
After all, he had to ask for a favor from the other, so he immediately called out ‘brother’ and showed some genuine concern.
Xie Yu was a little surprised. Xie Yi had reminded him to stop looking for Ye Rongxu to reminisce about his childhood or keep in touch with his childhood feelings, but now Ye Rongxu took the initiative to talk to him, so there was no reason to ignore him, right?
He nodded hurriedly and said vaguely, “I went to the bar with Cao Yuxuan, but I didn’t expect someone to make trouble, so I got hit when I tried to break up the fight.”
Cao Yuxuan also said almost at the same time, “He quarreled with someone in the bar, but he didn’t expect the other person to be quite the tough guy and hit him with a beer bottle.”
As soon as they finished speaking, the two turned to look at each other; one glared in anger, and the other scratched his head in embarrassment.
Ye Rongxu’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking: What bar did they go to in the morning? They probably stayed there all night.
Alas, I really envy these young people with good health, who can stay up late if they want and do whatever they want.
Retracting his thoughts, he coughed twice and pretended to be surprised, saying, “Really? How can some people be so unreasonable?”
“Hey, that’s right.” Cao Yuxuan followed and echoed.
Ye Rongxu pretended to care again and said to Xie Yu, “Is the injury serious? Can you squat down and let me see?”
Xie Yu was flattered and hurriedly said, “It’s not that serious.”
But Ye Rongxu insisted on looking. Xie Yu couldn’t say no to the little beauty. Plus, Cao Yuxuan was gloating and kept saying, “Just a quick look isn’t going to hurt.”
After a few polite words, he finally squatted down.
Ye Rongxu’s eyes fell on the gauze on his head, but his fingertips pinched a few strands of hair and yanked hard.
“Hiss!” Xie Yu covered his head in pain, looking puzzled.
“I’m sorry, I touched the gauze; did it touch the wound?” Ye Rongxu hurriedly hid his hand, his tone innocent.
Xie Yu: “…”
He looked confused, thought about it carefully, and said, “I don’t feel the pain from the wound.”
Ye Rongxu: “Then it must be the pain nerve extending to the side.”
He made up a story with his eyes open.
Then, without waiting for Xie Yu to rationalize this, he said, “Brother Yu, Cao Yuxuan, since you guys are busy, I’ll leave first.”
Then he asked the bodyguard to push him back upstairs.
“Hey, wait.” Xie Yu hurriedly called him and said, “Can we add WeChat this time?”
Ye Rongxu clenched the hair strands, not wanting to delay for a moment. Hearing this, he waved his empty hand and said, “Cao Yuxuan has my WeChat. Ask him to create a group with the three of us, then I’ll add your WeChat.”
Xie Yu looked puzzled: “Why is he in such a hurry?”

After delivering the samples, Ye Rongxu breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, “The only thing missing is Qin Jingxu’s samples.”
If Qin Jingxu’s samples can be obtained again, it will be completely confirmed whether Qin Jingxu has any relationship with the Xie family and whether he and Qin Chaoyan have swapped identities.
But how should Qin Jingxu’s hair sample be obtained? It’s not like he’s in contact with the other party right now.
Ye Rongxu fell into a closed loop of thinking and then thought of Xie Yu. The other party was close to Qin Jingxu, so he might be able to help him.
It just so happens that Cao Yuxuan should have pulled them into a group.
He took out his phone and added Xie Yu as his friend. Just as he was about to mention this to the other party, Chen Jiang next to him suddenly coughed.
Ye Rongxu was stunned and turned his head.
Chen Jiang: “Young master, if you want Qin Jingxu’s hair with follicles, it’s actually very simple. Just find someone to get close to him, and you can get it.”
From yesterday until now, the bodyguard had roughly guessed what Ye Rongxu was going to do. But if it was just to pull Qin Jingxu’s hair, there was no need to be so troublesome.
Ye Rongxu also came to a realization: “You’re right.”
He almost forgot that he could just ask the bodyguard to do it.
But it wasn’t really necessary, because when the bodyguard inquired where Qin Jingxu was, he was attending a business reception.
Coincidentally, Ji Qingyu was also at the scene, so Ye Rongxu called and asked Ji Qingyu to help pull out a few strands of hair when Qin Jingxu wasn’t paying attention.
“It needs to be with hair follicles.” Ye Rongxu covered the microphone and emphasized in a low voice.
Ji Qingyu was speechless but still helped him get it done.
But when Ye Rongxu got the hair, it was already night.
He didn’t go to the hospital overnight but called Qin Chaoyan, who had just finished the exam, and said mysteriously, “Come to my house tomorrow; I have something important to tell you.”
Qin Chaoyan was slightly stunned. After hanging up the phone, he thought all night about what Ye Rongxu would say tomorrow.
The next day, as soon as Qin Chaoyan arrived at Ye’s house, he was pulled by Ye Rongxu to the car and rushed to the hospital together.
Qin Chaoyan became more and more perplexed, asking, “Didn’t you say you had something important to tell me?”
Ye Rongxu originally intended to talk about the jade pendant, but he received a call from the hospital this morning and was so excited that he forgot for a moment. He grabbed Qin Chaoyan’s hand and said, “I’ll tell you when we arrived at the hospital.”
Upon reaching the hospital, Ye Rongxu took a deep, calming breath before slowly releasing it and then said to Qin Chaoyan beside him, “You have to calm down; don’t get too excited; this matter is very big.”
Qin Chaoyan: “…” But you don’t seem very calm.
Then, he thought of something, and his heart suddenly tightened. He lowered his head and asked, “Are you not feeling well? Are you sick again, or…”
“No, no, it’s not me.” Ye Rongxu quickly interrupted him.
At this moment, the doctor came over with the test results, two copies in total, one for Qin Chaoyan and Zhang Yun and one for Qin Chaoyan and Xie Yu.
After Qin Chaoyan received it, his movements paused, and he turned his head to look at Ye Rongxu.
