Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

He Ziyu was having dinner when he received the text message. When he saw that Jiang Chengyu said he wouldn't be able to come back for the entire holiday, he immediately lost his appetite.

He hadn't expected Jiang Chengyu to fly back immediately, since Jiang's parents were also on this trip, and they couldn't just let Jiang Chengyu leave whenever he wanted.

But He Ziyu never expected that this wait would last until the start of the school term.

The summer vacation after junior high school lasts for nearly two months, which means he still has more than fifty days before he can see Jiang Chengyu!

How is he going to get through all this time?

"Ayu, why aren't you eating? Is the food not to your liking today?" Zhou Ying was a little worried when she saw He Ziyu put down his chopsticks before even eating half a bowl of rice.

"No, Mom, I just ate too many snacks this afternoon, so I'm a little full."

"Snacking again? Didn't I tell you not to snack before meals? You just can't control yourself..."

Like any ordinary mother, Zhou Ying cared for He Ziyu by nagging. He Ziyu used to find it annoying, but after living a second life, he found his mother's nagging so kind and warm.

After a while, the father, who had been silent all along, also put down his chopsticks.

Zhou Ying glanced at him. "What's wrong? You've eaten too many snacks too?"

He Lianghan hesitated, his expression unusually serious: "Wife, Ayu, I have something important I want to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, He Ziyu immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, before Zhou Ying could ask him what was going on, He Lianghan preemptively said, "I went to the orphanage today and saw a child there. He was obedient, sensible, and exceptionally talented in the arts. His parents died when he was young, and he's about the same age as A-Yu. I was thinking, if possible..."

"Dad, you're not thinking of adopting that child, are you?" He Ziyu interrupted He Lianghan, "Aren't you and Mom enough with me as your son?"

He Lianghan was taken aback, not expecting He Ziyu to ask him that question.

He Ziyu blinked his bright eyes and innocently continued to ask, "Does Dad think I'm not good enough and want to find someone else to replace me?"

He Lianghan frowned, "What are you saying...?"

He Ziyu remembered very clearly that in his previous life, his father also announced at the dinner table that he wanted to adopt He Ningqiu. At that time, he was only thinking about how to pursue Lan Yuan and did not take this matter to heart at all. When he heard his father say that he wanted to adopt a younger brother to keep him company, he agreed without thinking.

It wasn't until his senior year of high school, after his mother's death, when his father married his stepmother into the He family in a grand ceremony, that He Ziyu learned that He Ningqiu's mother hadn't died at all, and that his true identity was the He family's illegitimate son.

At first, He Ziyu felt deceived, but gradually he also felt sorry for He Ningqiu. He was also his father's son, but he had to live in this way and could not live with his biological mother. So he slowly let go of his resentment and stopped worrying about it.

Returning to the present moment, He Ziyu realized the seriousness of the situation.

He Ningqiu is his father's biological son. His father feels indebted to him and will definitely try his best to bring him into the He family. However, he is only fifteen years old now and has no say in front of his powerful father. Excessive resistance will only provoke his father's dissatisfaction.

Thinking about it, He Ziyu quickly softened his tone: "I was just joking. I'm Dad's biological son, so of course Dad loves me the most."

Hearing his son's words, He Lianghan, who had a guilty conscience, forced a smile, but his face was rather unpleasant.
