"Xiao Song." Pei Xingzhi poured her a glass of water and personally fed it to her.

She opened her mouth, took a sip, and asked calmly, "You already knew about this, didn't you?"

Pei Xingzhi looked into her eyes and answered honestly, "Yes, I already knew."

"And what about you?" Qin Song looked up at the others in the ward. "You know too?"

"I know..." The voices of the few people were pitifully soft.

Qin Song turned to look at Shen Yanhui at the foot of the bed: "You knew too?"

"Huh?" Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head, "I, I didn't, I only found out after watching the press conference."

“…Oh.” Qin Song responded faintly, and then fell silent.

Pei Xingzhi noticed that her reaction was a bit off, and his already anxious heart instantly jumped into his throat.

"Xiao Song." He took Qin Song's hand tightly and spoke slowly but solemnly, "We didn't mean to hide it from you, please let me explain."

"Okay." Qin Song agreed readily, which surprised Pei Xingzhi.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on Qin Song's hand, speaking softly and gently: "You've encountered so many troubles lately, and having just given birth, you're physically and mentally exhausted. We were worried you wouldn't be able to process this, so we wanted to wait until you've recovered a bit before slowly telling you about it."

"Unexpectedly, your parents suddenly left the organization and held this press conference without our knowledge."

“…So that’s how it is.” Qin Song nodded, his whole demeanor remarkably calm.

"Xiao Song." Pei Xingzhi raised his hand and touched her face, asking cautiously, "Are you angry with us?"

"No." Qin Song shook his head, forcing a stiff smile. "You're doing this for my own good, I won't be angry."

"Really?" Song Yihuan nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, her eyes filled with apprehension. "You're really not angry with us?"

"I won't give birth." Qin Song raised his other hand and showed it to Song Yihuan. "Because right now, I really feel like I'm about to faint."

"Xiao Song!" Pei Xingzhi was startled by the word "dizzy". He hurriedly let go of Qin Song's hand, then cupped Qin Song's face in his hands, haphazardly touching her cheeks and forehead.

"Are you alright, Xiaosong? Should we call the doctor in to take a look?"

"No need." Qin Song brushed his hand away, smiling helplessly. "I'm fine, just really nervous..."

"Oh!"

Just as she finished saying she was very nervous, Xie Mingyi suddenly shoved open the door to the ward.

Everyone in the room turned their heads at the same time to look at the Xie family members at the door, whose eyes were already wet with tears.

"Zhao Zhao..."

Xie Mingyi stared intently at Qin Song with red eyes, suddenly hesitant to come in.

“My Zhaozhao…”

Xie Jiangshan and Bai Ruiying supported each other as they walked in step by step from the doorway.

Qin Song stared blankly at them, then slowly rose from beside the sickbed.

"Zhaozhao..." The elderly couple hurried to her, reaching out to hug her, but hesitated.

Qin Song's heart pounded like a drum, and his words trembled and were hoarse: "What...what was my original name?"

"Your name is Xie Zhaoyuan," Bai Ruiying told her through tears. "May your wishes come true and may you live a peaceful and prosperous life. Your parents named you this in the hope that all your dreams will come true and that you will have a smooth and peaceful life."

"Xie Zhaoyuan..." Qin Song murmured his name, then said with a silly grin, "It sounds nice."

After finishing speaking, he felt something was missing, so he grinned.

"Zhao Zhao!" That smile shattered the couple's hearts.

The emotions that had been building up all the way finally collapsed at this moment. The couple lunged forward and, weeping, pulled Qin Song into their arms.

"My Zhaozhao, Mommy has finally found you!"

"Zhao Zhao has suffered so much, Zhao Zhao has suffered so much over the years..."

A hoarse sob lingered in his ears, and scalding tears splashed onto his cheeks. Qin Song was stunned for a long while before his stagnant heart finally stirred.

She is a time traveler.

Strictly speaking, Xie Jiangshan and Bai Ruiying should be the original owner's parents, not hers.

Even if she feels something, she shouldn't show too much emotion.

After all, she wasn't Xie Zhaoyuan, but Qin Song, who had luckily transmigrated and been reborn in Xie Zhaoyuan's body.

Qin Song does not belong to this world, and he could not possibly be a child of the Xie family.

But people are always greedy. Qin Song had lived again in this world, and she greedily wanted to live like this forever. Even just living wasn't enough; she wanted more.

She wanted Pei Xingzhi, Pei Ye, Pei's mother and Pei Lingxuan, and her good friends Jiang Mian.

She also wants a pair of parents who love, cherish, and love her.

Now, with such parents right in front of him, Qin Song had absolutely no confidence to refuse.

Let her be Xie Zhaoyuan for once... she thought selfishly, closing her eyes.

She's already died once; this time, let her experience what it's like to be someone else's daughter.

She raised her hands and carefully hugged her parents in front of her, tentatively calling out:

"Dad, mom."

“…Eh!” Xie Jiangshan and Bai Ruiying responded in trembling voices.

"Oh, they've finally recognized each other." Pei's mother was deeply moved by the scene and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

"The bitter times are over, and the sweetness has finally come." Jiang Mian raised her hand to wipe away her tears, genuinely happy for Qin Song.

"I first met Qin Song about half a year ago. At that time, she had a bad reputation and was having a hard time. She would go to interviews every day with just a tablet in her hand. I can't even imagine how much she suffered before she met me."

Duan Jialu: "Those hardships are all in the past. What awaits Qin Song from now on is only a happy and fulfilling life."

“Yes,” Pei Lingxuan agreed. “My sister-in-law gave birth to Xiangxiang safely, and her relationship with my brother is getting sweeter and sweeter. Most importantly, she has also found her loving biological parents.”

"She will never have to suffer again."

"Wait a minute!" Song Yihuan suddenly interjected, "Qin Song's name is a thing of the past. From now on, we will all call her Xie Zhaoyuan!"

“Yes, from now on we should call her Zhaoyuan!” Mother Pei agreed with her. “The Qin family name Zhao Zhao should have been abandoned long ago.”

Pei Lingxuan: "That's right, that's right..."

"Tsk, come over here." Song Yihuan raised her hand and pushed Xie Mingyi. "Zhaozhao is your own sister, don't you want to go up and hug her?"

"Yes." Xie Mingyi really wanted to. But perhaps it was a case of being too close to home to feel timid, because standing in front of Qin Song now, he simply didn't have the courage to open his arms and hug her.

In the end, it was Qin Song who took the initiative to come and find him.

"Brother." Qin Song called out to him, then looked at him expectantly and gently raised her hands.

“…Little sister.” He opened his mouth timidly to respond, and almost frantically reached out to hug Qin Song into his arms.

Pei Xingzhi then stepped forward and, being sensible, changed his address, saying, "Dad, Mom."

"Yes!" Xie Jiangshan and Bai Ruiying responded to him together.

"Good boy." Xie Jiangshan opened his arms and hugged him.

"From now on, we're family."
