Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 997 - 498: The Secret Revealed—Turns Out They’re Mother and Son (Part 2)
"I’m sorry, I can’t agree to that."
Gao Yuyue slowly exhaled.
As expected, Rong Xianning refused.
When you truly appreciate someone, you shouldn’t burden them.
Neither should you let them see your embarrassment and flaws; by then, all feelings may be worn out completely.
This is the smartest approach.
Na Amo would only feel more pity and sympathy for him.
Gao Yuyue guessed correctly.
Na Amo was not upset by Rong Xianning’s refusal. On the contrary, she guessed why the young man refused her.
Because of this, she admired Rong Xianning even more and liked him more.
Indeed, if you truly want to help him, there’s no need to be fixated on the relationship.
Na Amo smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Good boy, it’s okay, there’s plenty of time in the future."
Shen You’an took it all in, her gaze sliding from Rong Xianning’s face to Na Amo’s face, examining closely from eyebrows to contour and even ears, missing nothing.
Then Shen You’an’s gaze fell on their dinner plates.
Shen You’an raised an eyebrow, deliberately shifting the topic.
"Professor Na, you don’t eat onions, ginger, and garlic either."
Na Amo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, I’ve never eaten these strong-flavored things since I was a child; my taste buds can’t handle it."
"Then you and Aning are really meant to be; Aning never eats them either."
Everything had been picked out from Rong Xianning’s plate.
Na Amo smiled more brightly, "That’s why I said I’m destined to be connected with Xiao Rong."
Shen You’an smiled more deeply, "Fate is wonderfully indescribable."
After dinner, Na Amo received a phone call; there was an urgent issue at the lab that needed her attention.
So she quickly left after settling the bill.
Shen You’an received a 2,000 yuan transfer on his phone from Na Amo.
"Professor Na said whatever we do next, like going singing or something, she’ll cover the cost. So, what do you guys want to do?"
"Of course, go singing! We have the future great music talent with us, can’t waste it."
Yan Lu eagerly raised her hand.
"Alright, I’ll check if there’s any place to sing nearby."
Shen You’an searched nearby on his phone and indeed found a well-reviewed karaoke place.
Rong Xianning wasn’t very enthused, "You guys go, I’m tired and want to go home and rest."
Leng Yunyang put an arm around his neck, acting all brotherly, "What are we going to do without our big pop star? You probably have never sung in a KTV, right? It’s a great place to let off steam, bro will show you the ropes today."
With that, Rong Xianning was half-forced to leave with Leng Yunyang.
Yan Lu and Gao Yuyue walked together, chatting about gossip, while Zhang Yan and Jiang Yumo earnestly listened on the side.
Shen You’an and Liu Runxi walked at the back.
De Ren University was built around a moat, the riverbank at night was quiet with few people, occasionally a student or passerby jogging, the autumn wind brushing by with willows, a chill rising.
Liu Runxi took off his coat and draped it over Shen You’an: "Don’t catch a cold."
Shen You’an was lost in thought, did not notice the warmth that enveloped her.
Liu Runxi did not disturb her, silently staying by her side.
Walking ahead, Jiang Yumo turned his head for a quick peek, only to have Yan Lu pull his head back.
"Don’t be a third wheel, got it?"
Jiang Yumo coughed softly, "I’m not the kind who’s oblivious, I’m just curious, what do two quiet people talk about together?"
"Curiosity killed the cat, come on, let me calculate your Mercury retrograde for this month..."
The four girls huddled together, laughing and joking, bringing out the genuine beauty of youth.
Suddenly, Shen You’an let out an "Ah," snapping back from her deep thoughts.
Liu Runxi immediately looked at her worriedly, "What’s wrong?"
Shen You’an frowned slightly, "You’re proficient in biomedical sciences, so you must also understand genetics, listen to my analysis and see if it makes sense."
Liu Runxi raised an eyebrow, "I’m all ears."
Shen You’an walked slowly forward, eyes slightly closed, as if intensely recalling something.
"Professor Na’s ear shape, especially that unique small fold at the junction of the helix and antihelix, is identical to Rong Xianning’s ear shape. This is a classic trait of autosomal dominant inheritance, seen in less than 5% of the population."
Liu Runxi was slightly surprised, he didn’t expect Shen You’an to observe so meticulously.
"Moreover, although Professor Na’s iris color is common, the unique radiating dark brown streaks in her iris stroma are also found in Rong Xianning. This pattern is polygenic controlled, but such a highly consistent match far exceeds random probability."
