"Lu Na, have you had breakfast?"

Just then, a gentle voice sounded in front of her.

She looked up and, through her teary eyes, saw Lu Jingxiu squatting in front of her.

He arrived at some unknown time, squatting there with his eyes level with hers, a smile on his face, without any of the other expressions that would make her uncomfortable.

"Get up, get in the car first."

Lu Na's tears, which she couldn't stop flowing, started flowing even faster.

She almost burst into tears, but held them back, her voice faltering as she said, "...Lu Jingxiu, I...I'm sorry..."

Before she could finish speaking, she buried her head in her arms, her shoulders heaving, and muffled sobs escaped from her embrace.

She didn't want him to see her cry, but this time she really couldn't control herself.

She cried very subdued and restrainedly, only letting out a few sounds when she couldn't hold back anymore.

Lu Jingxiu didn't say anything.

He stood up, walked back to the car, took a pack of tissues from the glove compartment, then walked back, sat on the edge of the flower bed next to her, and handed the tissues to her.

Looking at the girl next to him who didn't even dare to cry out loud, he sighed.

…………

"bite--"

The elevator doors slowly opened.

With her eyes still red, Lu Na pulled her suitcase and followed Lu Jingxiu, who was carrying large and small bags, out of the elevator.

Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, her nose was red, and there were still tear stains on her face.

She was actually quite embarrassed after crying by the roadside.

She cried like that in front of others, and even asked him to hand her half a pack of tissues, but when emotions get the better of her, she can't control herself.

After she finished crying, Lu Jingxiu took her to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Jingxiu said that she had nowhere to stay, and that he happened to have several empty houses at home, which he could rent to her.

Lu Na looked up, a little embarrassed. Her eyes were bloodshot and red-rimmed. She asked softly, "How much is the rent and deposit?"

Lu Jingxiu thought for a moment and told her, "Five hundred a month, no deposit required."

She nodded, thinking it was pretty good.

Five hundred yuan a month, no deposit required, is very cheap in a place like a supermarket.

Although her current savings won't last long, she should be able to manage if she can find another job as soon as possible.

So he followed Lu Jingxiu here.

But when she entered the residential area, she was somewhat surprised.

The lobby was paved with marble, adorned with crystal chandeliers, and a security guard in a crisp uniform saluted them at the entrance.

The elevator was carpeted, the buttons were touch-sensitive, and even the air conditioning in the elevator had a faint fragrance.

This is clearly a high-end residential area, not a place you can rent for 500 yuan a month.

Could it be... a shared apartment?

That's not bad either. At least the neighborhood is much better than any of the rental apartments I've ever lived in before.

The place she used to rent had broken hallway lights that no one ever fixed, her neighbors argued every night in the middle of the night, and the downstairs trash can smelled so bad in the summer that she didn't dare open the window.

At least it's clean and safe here, and I don't have to be afraid to walk home at night.

Just then, Lu Jingxiu unlocked the door with his fingerprint.

The door lock clicked open, and Lu Na pursed her lips. "So high-tech, a fingerprint lock."

Following Lu Jingxiu inside, you enter a large living room.

The modern minimalist style is dominated by black, gray, and white. There is a large balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and sunlight shines in through the white sheer curtains, making the entire living room bright and clean, just like a beautiful show flat.

Lu Na stood in the entryway, pulling her suitcase. Looking at the gleaming marble floor, she carefully took a step, afraid that her old sneakers would leave marks on it.

"Lu Jingxiu, which room is mine? Are all my roommates girls?" she asked.

Since it's a shared apartment, there should be other roommates, preferably all girls, so it will be more convenient to live together.

"You don't have a roommate, this whole place is for you," Lu Jingxiu said with a smile.

Lu Na turned around and looked at him in disbelief.

This entire apartment, with its huge living room, huge balcony, beautiful decor, and several bedrooms, is all where she lives.

Five hundred yuan a month?

Lu Jingxiu didn't say much, he just closed the door and went straight to the study.

Lu Na stood there, watching him walk into the study, hearing the faint hum of the printer starting up inside, and all sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind.

What does Lu Jingxiu want to do?

There's no such thing as a free lunch; this kind of house is definitely not a rental room that costs 500 yuan a month.

He tricked me into coming here because he had designs on me?

But something's not right. His gaze towards her is very clean; he never gives her that uncomfortable feeling.

Moreover, given his looks and family background, he wouldn't lack female admirers, so there's no need for him to go through all this trouble.

"Lu Na, take a look at this." Lu Jingxiu came out of the study, holding a newly printed report, and handed it to her.

Lu Na suppressed her wild thoughts, took the papers, and began to read them.

The paper was still warm, covered with technical terms and numerical tables. She couldn't quite understand the data and charts, but she could read the titles.

DNA Parentage Testing Report

As she looked at it, her hands began to tremble.

She flipped through the pages one by one, skipping over the incomprehensible gene locus data and the technical jargon, and went straight to the last page.

In the "Expert Opinion" section, it is clearly stated in black and white:

"After excluding identical twins, close relatives, and exogenous interference, based on the existing DNA genetic marker typing results, it is supported that there is a biological full sibling relationship between the individuals to whom the two samples belong."

Lu Na looked up at Lu Jingxiu, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The relationship between siblings is one of blood ties, like brothers and sisters.

She and Lu Jingxiu are actually siblings?

DNA testing? When did he do it?

Oh right, it was the day he took her to the hospital to donate blood. After the blood was drawn, she thought it was just a regular blood donation.

He lied to her; he tricked her into coming for a blood test so that it would be for a medical examination.

Why did he do that? Why didn't he just tell her? Was he afraid she wouldn't believe him? Was he afraid she wouldn't agree?

Seeing her speechless shock, Lu Jingxiu nodded, his voice soft but firm: "That's right, I'm your brother, your biological brother."

"Is this...is this real?" Lu Na's voice became a little hoarse, as if something was blocking her throat.

"Yes, really."

"Isn't this...something wrong?"

"Won't."

"Who...whose daughter am I? Why don't they want me?" Her voice began to tremble, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.

"They don't know where you are." Lu Jingxiu looked at her. "You were taken away when you were little, and they've been looking for you ever since."
