“Mother, look at those two stars, they are so bright.” Hao’er’s little finger pointed to two unusually dazzling stars in the sky.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu looked up, then smiled at each other. Those two were the Emperor Star and the Phoenix Star. Although they were bright in the past, it had never been as dazzling as they were tonight. Come to think of it, if they had noticed how dazzling the Emperor Star and Phoenix Star were, others probably would have noticed it too.
“Hao’er, Father and I have something to tell you tonight. You have to listen carefully.” Feng Jiu looked at him and said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Hao’er blinked. When he saw the seriousness on their faces, he couldn’t help but sat up straight and nodded seriously: “Yes, Hao’er will listen carefully.”
After Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu looked at each other, they paused for a moment and finally decided that she would speak. Therefore, she looked at Hao’er, who was sitting between the two of them, and said softly: “Hao’er, actually we aren’t your biological parents.”
Hao’er sat up straight when he heard this and froze. His eyes widened, and he looked at Feng Jiu with astonishment: “Mother, what are you saying?”
“Hao’er, we are not your biological parents.” Feng Jiu felt a twinge in her heart when she saw his panicked expression.
“Mother, are you drunk?” Hao’er’s eyes were full of panic and fear. The rims of his eyes turned red and a layer of tears covered his eyes while his little hands grasped hers tightly: “Mother, you’re drunk aren’t you? Hao’er is yours, Hao’er is yours!”
As he said that, tears fell from his eyes and his little mouth was pressed tightly together as he tried his hardest not to cry. This was the first time he had faced such a situation and for a moment, it felt like the whole sky was falling down. He felt panicked and helpless.
Feng Jiu gently caressed his hands and hugged him with both arms, then she sighed softly and said: “Hao’er, don’t cry. Even if you’re not our biological child, you are still our son!”
When he felt his mother’s warmth and tenderness from her body, his panicked heart gradually stabilised. He raised his head and hugged her tightly with both arms, then asked in a choked voice: “Really? Mother, even if I’m not Father and Mother’s biological child, Father and Mother still want me?”
“You are the son we have raised for five six years, so how can we not want you?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair, then he said: “Your Mother and I are telling you this because we want to let you know about your birth origins. After we leave Pill King Valley this time, it might not be long before your biological parents come looking for you.”
“I don’t want them, I only want you.” Hao’er said hastily and buried himself in Feng Jiu’s arms.
When they saw this, the two of them couldn’t help but shake their heads and smiled: “Hao’er, don’t you want to know how you came to be our son?”
Upon hearing this, Hao’er blinked his red eyes and thought for a while, then he sat up straight and held Feng Jiu’s hand tightly and said: “I do want to know, Mother. Where did Hao’er come from?”
“Well, Mother picked you up back then.” Feng Jiu smiled lightly and tapped the tip of his nose, then she said: “When I picked you up, you were just a small ball, small but very cute. Mother thought you were very cute, so she took you home and you became her son.”
