229 Matters a lot!
“Yeye, what happened?” Han Zixin came running to the living room when he heard a loud bang.
This afternoon, his grandfather was talking about going to another city to enjoy with his old friends and he suggested moving to dorms. He didn’t know why but his grandfather was so angry with him that he stopped talking to him. He didn’t know why his grandfather was so angry with him.
He ran to the living room only to find his grandfather on the ground crawling in pain.
“Yeye, are you in pain?” Han Zixin asked as he tried to help his grandfather.
“Why do you care for me? Go back to dorms! Let me die here, ” His grandfather shouted. He was feeling a lot of pain in his back. He couldn’t move without help but he didn’t stop sulking.
“I was wrong, Yeye, ” Han Zixin said in a soft voice. “I will not move out. I will stay with you all my life. Please, let me help you.”
“Promise me that you will not ask to move to dorms again, “Han Qian, his grandfather, asked him in a pitiful voice. “I will not move until you promise me.”
“I promise, Yeye. I will always stay with you, ” Han Zixin said. It was only after making this promise that his grandfather moved. When he helped his grandfather on the couch, he realised that his grandfather was really in a bad condition. He had no other option but to call for an ambulance.
Soon, they reached the hospital and after the checkup, they found out that his grandpa broke his hip and he needed urgent care. He had no idea about the working of the hospitals but he stayed with his grandfather all night. Since the old man was given pain medicines, he was asleep but not Han Zixin who was restless as ever in hospital.
It was the middle of the night when a tall and handsome middle-aged man entered the room. He stopped near Han Zixin and looked at the old man.
Han Zixin raised his eyes when he felt someone else’s presence in the room. He found no one other than his sperm donor and Han Nanxian’s father standing there in an expensive Italian suit.
“You are going to convince my father to live with me, ” Han Ziqiu, his sperm donor said without looking at Han Zixin.
Han Zixin snorted inwardly. Did they think he was the same boy who used to be intimidated by him? No, time had changed. In the whole year, he had changed and grown up. Now even seeing these people didn’t hurt him at all.
He didn’t respond to his sperm donor at all because he didn’t feel like it.
“Look boy, “Han Ziqiu turned his gaze to look at the boy who was just as tall as him. The reason why he liked Han Nanxian could be he looked more like his mother while this was his clone. He hated looking at this boy because he reminded him of his most dark and bad days.
“I have a name, ” Han Zixin responded.
“A name that was given to you by me, ” Han Ziqiu pointed out. “If you forget, let me tell you that, the Han in your name came from me.”
“Isn’t it funny?” Han Zixin softly smiled at him. “How I was never Han Zixin but when my grandfather took me in, registered me in his household register, kicked you out of his life and household register, made me his sole heir and gave me the last name Han, you came to express how you are so kind as to give me my name.”
“You can be his heir for all I care, “Han Ziqiu snorted. “I’m enough for my Nanxian.”
“Yet, you have to turn to me to keep him alive, ” Han Zixin retorted.
Han Ziqiu raised his hand to slap him but Han Zixin caught his hand. “Mr Han, since you are in hospital, get your hand checked. It gets raised time and time again. What if my grandfather was awake and he saw you raising your hand? He will think you want to slap me. My grandfather is too protective of me. I don’t want to scare you, he won’t spare you.”
Han Ziqiu was angry. He was so angry that he couldn’t see straight. He knew that if he tried to even touch a strand of this boy’s hair, his father would never let him come near both of them. If he couldn’t get close to them, how would Han Nanxian come back home to him? His beloved son refused to take a dime from him until he redeemed himself. Han Nanxian went only for a four year course but he was restless. He had to do something to bring him back.
In a fit of anger, he left the hospital. It was better to come when his father was awake.
When Han Ziqiu left, Han Zixin slumped on the chair. He took out his phone to scroll through the internet to pass his time. He was watching short videos when his finger paused on a particular video.
“Miss Yang, why did you select Silver moon for your team?” The anchor asked the national award winner singer Yan Zi. Miss Yang was considered a national talent. She had won so many songs for her beautiful singing. She was counted as one of the biggest stars in the music industry. Her career skyrocketed sixteen years ago and ever since than she had only soared. Miss Yang Zi was only thirty five this year and she had recently married her longtime lover.
Han Zixin took deep breaths and calmed himself down. He would always like to think positively about this woman. He didn’t blame her for abandoning him to the Han family. She was only nineteen, just two years older than him. It wasn’t her fault. She gave birth to him. He should be grateful to her. It didn’t matter that she abandoned him for fame.
It should not matter, right?
