The attitude of Qi Shang's parents had changed so drastically that Xia Lin was, of course, extremely curious about what Qi Shang had said and done.
It turned out that Qi Shang told Xia Lin that he had informed his parents that if they forced him into surrogacy, he would take Xia Lin and disappear far away for good, not just making an empty threat. Later, Qi Shang told his parents to go to the hospital themselves for surrogacy and have a younger son. Thanks to Qi Shang's efforts and stubbornness, his parents had no choice but to agree to this proposal. They had never been able to overpower their son since he was a child.
Xia Lin was utterly stunned. "That's, that's a crazy move! I didn't expect Mom and Dad to actually agree. Great! Now it's Mom and Dad who are going to find a surrogate."
Qi Shang looked a bit proud. "Yeah. Mom is getting old. So after combining their sperm and egg, they'll find a young and healthy woman to be the surrogate. They've already found the surrogate these days. In ten months, we'll have a younger brother or sister."
Xia Lin stared at Qi Shang and found that Qi Shang didn't show any repulsion at the thought of having a younger sister. Instead, he seemed quite happy. In fact, Xia Lin was also glad that Qi Shang would have a younger brother or sister. Although he himself wouldn't be able to see it, with a full - blooded younger brother or sister, Qi Shang wouldn't be lonely anymore, would he?
During the last month that Xia Lin was waiting for, the final mission arrived.
It was pouring rain that day. Xia Lin didn't bring an umbrella. Since Qi Shang had something to do, he took the bus home as he didn't have a driver's license. There was a short distance from the bus stop to home. Xia Lin held his leather waterproof schoolbag over his head and ran home. But while running, he bumped into a strong man and fell to the ground. The man swore in an accented English and gave Xia Lin the middle finger.
It would have been okay if Xia Lin didn't understand English. But unfortunately, he not only understood it but was also very proficient, having been to many worlds and stayed abroad for many years.
Xia Lin wasn't a pushover either. He swore back at the man. The man walked over and pushed Xia Lin, who had just stood up, back to the ground. This time, Xia Lin's clothes were completely dirty, and there must be bruises on his body.
Xia Lin was extremely angry. He was already in a bad mood because of the rain. It was the man who had bumped into him, but now he was being so overbearing, swearing at him and pushing him so hard. It was too much!
Seeing Xia Lin sitting on the ground in a mess, the man laughed arrogantly. "Sure enough, all yellow - skinned people are cowards!"
Oh no, Xia Lin couldn't stand this. "I'll show you whether yellow - skinned people are cowards or not!"
Xia Lin stood up and rushed at the man, wrestling with him. Unfortunately, he had lost his super - strength ability, so he was no match for the white man in terms of strength. Relying on his speed and agility, he managed to hold his own, but even so, Xia Lin was covered in wounds after the fight.
When he got home, Qi Shang's parents weren't there. They were always busy and away for about half of the month.
It seemed that there was no one at home except him. Xia Lin slumped onto the sofa to catch his breath. But before he could lie there for long, he heard footsteps coming downstairs.
Was it still possible to hide? The answer was no. So when Qi Shang came downstairs and saw Xia Lin, he first said, "I was just about to call you to ask where you were and if you needed me to pick you up..."
But when he saw the bruises on Xia Lin's face, Qi Shang stopped abruptly. Then he showed a terrifying expression.
