Cheng Cheng and the Cicada

Chapter 48 We Have a Daughter (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Chapter 1 A Lot of People!

"So many people!"

Yan Qiaoqiao had just jumped out of the Alphard car in the Disneyland parking lot and immediately felt the overwhelming crowds.

It was Children's Day and also a Saturday, so the already crowded Disneyland was even more packed with families and couples. Driver Xiao Li had circled several times to find a parking space. And this was just the parking lot! The park entrance and interior would be even more crowded.

"Okay, President Lin and President Zhao, have fun. I'll wait for you here!" Xiao Li saw the three of them get out of the car and, after closing the electric car door, waved goodbye from the driver's seat. "Contact me when you come out of the park, and I'll drive to the passage to pick you up, so you don't have to come to the parking lot again."

Lin Xian nodded and instructed Xiao Li, "We definitely want to see the fireworks show tonight before we come out. In the meantime, find a place to relax or take care of other things. You don't have to wait in the car. I'll contact you in advance before leaving tonight."

Then he turned and walked towards the Disneyland gate with Zhao Yingjun and Yan Qiaoqiao, who was skipping along.

"Qiaoqiao's hair seems to be getting longer," Lin Xian said, looking at the swaying ponytail on the back of Yan Qiaoqiao's head. "It didn't seem that long before. Now it's almost to her neck. It's like a normal ponytail now!"

"Yes, and she's a little taller!" Zhao Yingjun smiled and touched Yan Qiaoqiao's head, saying to Lin Xian, "She eats so much every day... finally, she's showing some results. Although it's not obvious, she's definitely taller. And she's gained weight significantly. Look, there's more meat on her face and arms!"

"She's definitely being well taken care of!"

Lin Xian also noticed the changes in Yan Qiaoqiao and praised her as he looked at her obviously rounder arms. "She was a little too skinny before. She's fine like this now. She looks more energetic!"

He recalled the night he first met Lin Xu Xi and the Alphard that was torn apart by hand!

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Is Qiaoqiao usually strong?" Lin Xian asked Zhao Yingjun, "She doesn't look very strong."

He longed to hear an affirmative answer.

"Don't be fooled by Qiaoqiao's slender appearance. She's actually very strong. She can move anything in the house!"

"Ah?" Lin Xian was stunned!

"Not only is she strong, but she's also very skillful, especially when cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife. She's like a professional chef, cutting quickly and accurately!"

"Really?"

"I'm not kidding!"

Zhao Yingjun smiled and continued, "I didn't realize Qiaoqiao had this talent before, but the other day, I had to work late, and Qiaoqiao actually cooked dinner for me! She made curry radish cubes and stir-fried string beans. All freshly cut! Each piece was the size of a fingertip, square and even!"

"How could a child her age have such good knife skills? Later, I watched her cut vegetables a few times. She picks up the kitchen knife with speed and precision and has the aura of a veteran chef. You really should see it. She's like a real-life Little Master Chef!"

"Oh, haha..."

Lin Xian chuckled. He thought of Lin Xu Xi flying in mid-air, headfirst!

Coming to Disneyland, most of the groups, except for a few couples, were families of three or four. Parents held their children's hands and walked towards the amusement rides with laughter and joy. Yan Qiaoqiao looked at her empty hands and stretched out her hands to Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun, "I want it too!"

Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun looked at each other and smiled!

Since they had promised Yan Qiaoqiao to tour Disneyland like a family, they had to play the part. So, following suit, Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun walked side by side, each holding one of Yan Qiaoqiao's hands, and swayed their arms as they walked towards the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

"You want to play such a thrilling ride right away?"

Lin Xian asked.

The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was a Disneyland roller coaster. He thought they would start with some gentler rides.

"Qiaoqiao said she likes more thrilling rides."

Zhao Yingjun explained, "But it doesn't matter which one we play first. We have the VIP tour card, so we don't have to wait in line for any of the rides. We have enough time to play all the popular rides in one day."

And so!

Amidst the crowds queuing and the envious eyes of the children in line, Yan Qiaoqiao boarded the roller coaster through the VIP channel!

After screaming all the way, Yan Qiaoqiao got off the ride with a calm face. "Average!" she gave her honest opinion.

"This...this is indeed not too thrilling." Lin Xian pointed in one direction. "TRON Lightcycle Power Run! That's the ultimate thrill ride in Shanghai Disneyland. Although it's also a roller coaster, both the indoor light and shadow effects and the steep outdoor slopes are much more exciting than regular roller coasters!"

Especially the speed!

TRON Lightcycle Power Run could accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in just three seconds, and the top speed reached 120 kilometers per hour, making it one of the fastest in the world!

But later, for safety reasons, the speed was reduced several times, and now it has been reduced to 80 kilometers per hour. However, the thrill effect is still undiminished and it is definitely one of the must-play attractions in Disneyland, leaving a psychological shadow on many people!

However!

Amidst a chorus of screams, Yan Qiaoqiao still got off the ride calmly. "Average!"

Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun exchanged glances!

They felt that Yan Qiaoqiao was something special!

"Unbelievable!"

Zhao Yingjun praised, "I felt a little scared during that lap on the TRON Lightcycle Power Run, and I almost peed myself! But Qiaoqiao didn't say a word. Is there something wrong with this child?"

She suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Xian. "Qiaoqiao doesn't seem to be that sensitive to pain and fear. Most people would feel a twinge when their hair is pulled out, right? But Qiaoqiao is different. If you pull out a strand of her hair, she doesn't react at all!"

"Oh? Really?"

Lin Xian was eager to try. "Let me try!"

He aimed at a strand of hair on the back of Yan Qiaoqiao's head, pinched it, and pulled it directly out. As expected, just as Zhao Yingjun said, Yan Qiaoqiao continued to skip towards the Rex's Racer, without any feeling at all!

"It seems a little abnormal!" Lin Xian looked at the hair in his hand. This strand of hair was pulled out with the root attached. A normal person wouldn't feel nothing, right?

"It's hard to say!"

Zhao Yingjun suddenly thought, "Maybe Qiaoqiao is naturally gifted? Look at how calm and collected she is in the face of danger, and how good her psychological quality and physical coordination are. Maybe she'll become something great in the future!"

"Great in what way?" Lin Xian asked as he put the hair into his pants pocket without a trace. "Generally speaking, the most suitable profession for your description should be a secret agent or a spy, but this kind of work is hard to find in this peaceful era."

"Hey, slowpokes!" Yan Qiaoqiao, who had fallen behind, turned her head and shouted, "Hurry up!"

Thanks to the VIP tour card that Zhao Yingjun bought, they went unimpeded, playing wherever they went! For normal tourists, it was good to play five or six rides during such a peak holiday.

But Yan Qiaoqiao played almost all the rides in the entire park! Including the parade, the VIP tour card also had special VIP seats. Yan Qiaoqiao had never seemed to have experienced such a happy scene, and her eyes couldn't take it all in!

It had to be said!

Yan Qiaoqiao's stamina was indeed very good! She jumped and skipped all the way without even panting, while Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun were quite tired! Yan Qiaoqiao went to play on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride by herself!

Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun didn't want to shake their heads, so they sat together on a shady bench to wait!

"Taking care of children is really tiring!" Lin Xian sighed. "No wonder young people are unwilling to get married and have children now!"

Zhao Yingjun picked up the water cup and stopped in mid-air, then put it down! She screwed on the bottle cap! She tucked the broken hair behind her ear with her right index finger. "Every fish enjoys its own pond. Taking care of children shouldn't only focus on the tiring parts, because everything is tiring. Working is tiring, exercising is tiring, even lying on the sofa watching TV is tiring!"

"But the joy and satisfaction that children bring to their parents cannot be replaced by anything else. It can be considered painful but also joyful! Generally speaking, a little bit of touch is enough to dilute all the pain!"

Lin Xian was a little surprised and raised his head. "What you said... sounds a lot like what Brother Wang said. He also has a similar view, saying that the disadvantages of raising children are all over the internet, but the advantages can only be experienced by raising them yourself because that kind of inner feeling cannot be expressed!"

"The national birth rate is lower every year. Although they have opened up the third child policy, young people don't even want one now. My concept is still very traditional. I think you have to have at least one, and I don't really want a second one. It feels too tiring. What about you?"

"Me?"

Zhao Yingjun straightened up and leaned back on the chair, smiled and said, "I'm fine. I think it's okay to have more. Like Qiaoqiao, she's so cute and well-behaved, and now she's so sensible. Don't you think it would be nice to have a few more children like that?"

"Hehe!"

Lin Xian chuckled softly and didn't say much. Whether there was an opportunity to have children depended on whether Yan Qiaoqiao or Lin Hu could raise their hands high.

If they couldn't even make it through July, what was the point of talking about getting married and having children. He touched the strand of hair in his pocket. Yan Qiaoqiao's hair was already in hand. Although a DNA parentage test could be done directly with his own hair to get the result, it was best to get a strand of Zhao Yingjun's hair to do it together, just to be safe. However, Zhao Yingjun and Yan Qiaoqiao didn't have that pain-free technique. He couldn't just pull Zhao Yingjun's hair without saying a word!

But it didn't matter!

He glanced at the backpack placed next to him!

Inside were the gifts he had prepared for Zhao Yingjun and Yan Qiaoqiao, which were very useful gifts. With these gifts, he could achieve his goal.

He looked up and found Yan Qiaoqiao walking over with her hands on her hips. "This is fun!"

Zhao Yingjun handed her the water cup. "Drink some water before playing. You have to drink more water on these hot days. I found that you didn't even sweat. Is your physique so good?"

Zhao Yingjun touched Yan Qiaoqiao's arm and found that it was cool and comfortable, just like smooth jade! It was hard to imagine that such good genes came from her. She didn't have such good skin.

"You've played almost all of these rides, and you're going to have dinner and watch the final fireworks show soon! See if there's anything else you want to play, Sister Qiaoqiao."

"I want to take pictures!"

Yan Qiaoqiao said without thinking, "I want to take a photo like that family portrait before!"

Lin Xian oh'd and remembered. "Disneyland has a photography studio that can rent cartoon character costumes. Do you want to go?"

"I want to go!"

"Then let's go!" After saying that, the three of them got up from the flower chair and went to the photography studio inside Disneyland. Today was Yan Qiaoqiao's holiday. Everything was up to her!

She chose a princess dress and also chose a set of king and queen costumes for Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun!

After changing clothes, the makeup artist put headwear on Yan Qiaoqiao!

This princess-style headwear was very complicated, so it took some effort and time. By the time she was done, Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun had already changed clothes and were waiting in the scenery room!

The photographer saw the fair-faced Yan Qiaoqiao walking out and exclaimed, "Such a well-behaved little girl! How old are you this year?"

"Fourteen years old."

"Did you come with your older brother and sister?"

Yan Qiaoqiao shook her head. "With my mom and dad!"

The photographer had three question marks on his head! He looked at the young men and women in front who were helping to pose, and then looked at Yan Qiaoqiao in princess attire. "Mom and Dad?"

Yan Qiaoqiao nodded affirmatively, burning out the photographer's CPU! These young men and women looked to be at most twenty-five or six years old, and this little girl said she was fourteen years old!

Subtraction calculation hiss.

Something's wrong. It doesn't fit the moral code and it doesn't fit the law either. Is this the age of forbidden fruit?

But, alas!

He was just a professional photographer, and he couldn't inquire about the privacy of his clients. Now that he knew the relationship between the three, he knew what style and what kind of stance he should take for the photo!

Yan Qiaoqiao quickly took her place, standing in front of Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun!

The photographer reached out to greet the two of them, "Mom and Dad, lower your bodies a little and get a little closer."

Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun looked at each other in a little confusion!

Then, they looked down at Yan Qiaoqiao, who was seriously posing. So, they were really doing it. Since Yan Qiaoqiao was the princess, Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun could only follow the photographer's instructions and get closer!

"A little closer, a little closer. Why are you shy, you two!"

The photographer was also impatient!

They had given birth to such a big child, and they had been raising them for so many years. After being in love for so long, they could still maintain such a pure first love. These two were really born actors! He was too lazy to give instructions and waved to the assistant next to him to help them take a family photo. "You pose for them!"

"Okay!" The female assistant was naturally well-informed and directly took action! She pressed Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun directly together. Along with Yan Qiaoqiao holding the princess dress, *click!* A perfect and warm family photo was successfully taken! Printed, put in a photo frame, and handed to Yan Qiaoqiao!

This was her second photo in life!

It was also a group photo!

It was also with Zhao Yingjun and Lin Xian, but without the Pomeranian VY!

"So beautiful."

Yan Qiaoqiao was very satisfied with this photo and carefully put it away!

Night fell on Disneyland!

The crowd flocked to the square in front of the Disneyland castle to prepare to enjoy the fireworks show, a reserved project every night!

Zhao Yingjun had been to this place! She had been here with Lin Xian!

It was just that there weren't so many people at that time, only the two of them and a Bugatti Veyron! That was a fireworks display that only bloomed for her, surpassing everything in the world!

Even if Disneyland went all out today and released the amount of fireworks for the next ten years, or even if they blew up the Disneyland castle, it would still not be comparable to that belated birthday wish and the fireworks that illuminated her entire childhood in Zhao Yingjun's heart!

"It's so slow. When will it start?"

Yan Qiaoqiao stood next to Zhao Yingjun, looking up at the sky!

The surrounding crowd was bustling and noisy, and her neck was a little sore, but the fireworks show she was looking forward to had not yet begun!

"It should be soon!"

Lin Xian looked at his watch. "Logically speaking, it should have started at this time. However, Disneyland's fireworks show has never been punctual, or rather, the time itself is not fixed. The program only gives a rough range."

"Since that's the case, then I'll take this opportunity to give you two Children's Day gifts."

Hearing the word "gift!" Zhao Yingjun and Yan Qiaoqiao turned their heads to look at him at the same time!

As Zhao Yingjun said before, who wouldn't hate gifts.

Gifts, no matter when they are given, how many, or how few, will make people happy!

"Do I have one too?"

Zhao Yingjun smiled unexpectedly, "I really didn't expect you to prepare a gift for me, but I'm sorry, I didn't prepare one for you!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Lin Xian smiled slightly. "I should have prepared it for the two of you!"

After saying that!

He opened the zipper of the backpack and took out a Little Genius phone watch from it and put it on Yan Qiaoqiao's hand. "Qiaoqiao, this phone watch is for you! Look, the phone numbers of the two of us have already been saved in it. If you want to contact Sister Yingjun in the future, or want to contact me, just click it. You're so smart. You'll soon learn how to use it. This way, the two of us can also call you in the future, so there won't be a situation like last time where Sister Yingjun couldn't find you. We can know where you are at any time!"

"Except for when you charge it at night, you have to wear it on your wrist all the time, otherwise we'll worry if we can't contact you!"

Yan Qiaoqiao was obviously very happy with this delicate watch and was fondling with its various functions. "Thank you, Brother Lin Xian! I'll call you often!"

"Don't call randomly." Zhao Yingjun urged, "That will disturb Brother Lin Xian. You can call me if you have anything."

After saying that, Zhao Yingjun raised her head and smiled at Lin Xian. "You're still thoughtful. I didn't even think about buying her this kind of thing. I've always treated her as a child!"

After that!

Lin Xian took out a small sapphire necklace from his backpack. It was obvious at a glance that it was of great value! Zhao Yingjun was stunned. She really didn't expect that Lin Xian would give her such an expensive gift. She thought it would be a gift of the same level as the Little Genius watch, with more significance than practicality. She really didn't expect that Lin Xian would actually be serious this time!

"This is very expensive, right?"

She looked at Lin Xian. "Did you make a fortune?"

"Soon!"

Lin Xian said truthfully, "Maybe I'm about to become the richest man in the world!"

"Haha, really?" Zhao Yingjun didn't believe it at all. "But since you're so confident, I'll accept this gift without any psychological burden!"

"This sapphire necklace is really beautiful. I remember that the pair of sapphire earrings I wore at the banquet before was the one you said looked pretty good! I told you at that time that because there are few blue clothes in daily wear, I can only wear them at banquets with blue dresses! But if there is this sapphire necklace to match, maybe that pair of earrings can be worn more often!"

Lin Xian unscrewed the spiral buckle on the back of the necklace and looked at Zhao Yingjun. "Turn your back, I'll help you put it on and try it on."

"Okay!"

Zhao Yingjun turned her back and gave Lin Xian her fair back and neck. The two were close together. Lin Xian put the sapphire necklace around her neck, then held the two ends of the spiral buckle with both hands and twisted a strand of hair into the buckle, gradually tightening it!

"Is it okay?"

Zhao Yingjun habitually twisted her neck. "Ouch!"

She cried out in pain. A strand of hair above her neck was pulled out!

"Did I get your hair?"

Lin Xian apologized, "Sorry, it's too dark. I didn't pay attention when I was twisting it!"

After that! He unscrewed the buckle and quietly put away the broken hair, then tightened it again and let go of his hand. "It's on. Take a look!"

Zhao Yingjun lowered her head and gently touched the cool sapphire that was gradually warmed by her body temperature and laughed softly, "Thank you, Lin Xian. I like it very much!"

The time was already eight forty, but the fireworks show still hadn't started. The surrounding crowd's complaints and urging were getting louder and louder, and the square was gradually becoming chaotic!

Yan Qiaoqiao lowered her head to study her new toy, the Little Genius phone watch, and occasionally looked up at this pair of young men and women with eight hundred schemes in their hearts!

At this moment!

It was as if the whole world had extracted Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun. Zhao Yingjun stroked the sapphire pendant on the necklace and had already guessed Lin Xian's thoughts. How was it said that people of the same kind would eventually come together?

She had also done what Lin Xian had just done to collect hair.

Back then, she had used a similar method to pull out a strand of hair from Yan Qiaoqiao's head. She didn't expect that Lin Xian would use the same trick today and accidentally used it on her!

Thinking back to when Lin Xian pulled out a strand of Yan Qiaoqiao's hair in the morning!

What else could he do by collecting the hair of the two people at this point?

He only needed to think a little to know that he was going to do a DNA parentage test!

Sure enough!

Lin Xian was still suspicious and suspected Yan Qiaoqiao's true identity! Zhao Yingjun was not surprised by this!

If she and her parents hadn't lied to Lin Xian and told him that Yan Qiaoqiao was a distant relative, Lin Xian would have suspected it long ago and would never have dragged it out until now!

As early as when he saw the little girl in the tiger costume, Lin Xian seemed to be looking for a little girl who was related to him by blood!

It was just obvious that he was looking for the wrong one!

And Yan Qiaoqiao was the little girl Lin Xian was really looking for!

Now that Lin Xian had also discovered the clues on Yan Qiaoqiao, Zhao Yingjun didn't plan to continue hiding it! It was her and her father's behavior that had disturbed Lin Xian's thinking and affected his judgment, so it was time to apologize!

"Sorry, Lin Xian!"

She turned her head and said softly, "There's something I really need to say sorry for. It's really sorry from beginning to end. It's all my fault and my parents' fault that this matter has been kept from you until now!"

Lin Xian looked into Zhao Yingjun's eyes. "What is it?"

"In fact, Yan Qiaoqiao is not a distant relative of our family!"

Zhao Yingjun continued, "She was picked up by my parents by chance on a country road. Because she looked like me, they brought her home and raised her by mistake!"

"Later, when I was eating with you, my parents also said that Yan Qiaoqiao was a distant relative from my mother's side to save face and to make it easier to explain! At that time, I could only go along with my parents, but I didn't expect that this lie would get deeper and deeper. I never had a chance to explain it to you clearly!"

"There are many strange things about Yan Qiaoqiao. I have also found something wrong, so! I also want to say sorry to you. I secretly kept the strand of white hair that Yan Qiaoqiao pulled out from you and took it to the hospital to do a parentage test with my hair!"

*Bang.*

The fireworks show finally began!

A red light shot from below the castle towards the clouds!

"Ah!" Yan Qiaoqiao raised her right hand and pointed to the sky. "It's fireworks!"

Zhao Yingjun stretched out her hands to cover Yan Qiaoqiao's ears so she wouldn't hear!

She continued, "Although it sounds a bit incredible, I myself find it hard to believe, but according to the DNA test report,"

*Boom...*

The colorful fireworks in the sky exploded and illuminated the entire Disneyland night sky!

Zhao Yingjun's eyes reflected the starry sky, and she smiled and looked at Lin Xian, "That's right! From a biological point of view, Yan Qiaoqiao, she!"

"Is our daughter!"
