Chapter 1041 - 1041 Do You Want a Home?

1041 Do You Want a Home?

At this moment, the town gate was closed.

With nowhere to go, they planned to set up a tent on the street for the night.

Yu Huang took out the tent. Just as she was about to set up the tent with Sheng Xiao, she heard the sound of the rolling gate opening. They turned around and saw Mr. Zhang standing under the rolling gate in a tank top and pants. The cigarette in his mouth was burning in the middle of the night.

As Mr. Zhang bit the cigarette, he said in a muffled voice, “Come in.”

Yu Huang deliberately made a bed in front of the cotton shop because she was betting that Mr. Zhang would be kind enough to take them in.

The four of them hurriedly walked into the cotton shop and were brought upstairs by Mr. Zhang.

This was also Yu Huang’s first time coming to the second floor of Mr. Zhang’s house.

Unexpectedly, a bachelor like Mr. Zhang had a very cozy home on the second floor.

The second floor was decorated in a modern style. The walls were covered in warm beige wall cloth, and there was a child’s shooting frame nailed to the wall of the living room. There were basketballs, soccer balls, and some children’s toys piled on the ground.

There was no supermarket in the town, so Mr. Zhang could only buy these toys and basketballs from the internet.

Lin Jiansheng stared at the toys on the ground, then turned around to see Ah Kong sleeping on the small bed in the living room.

Ah Kong’s bed wasn’t big, but the blanket on the bed was very thick, warm, and clean. Ah Kong was curled up under the blanket as he slept with a flushed face.

Yu Huang and the others were washing up in the bathroom. Lin Jiansheng, He Zhiqiu, and Mr. Zhang sat in the living room and chatted softly, since they were afraid that they would wake Ah Kong up.

Mr. Zhang had already put out his cigarette.

He stood up and brought over a teapot, then poured a cup of warm tea for Lin Jiansheng and the others.

After thanking him, Lin Jiansheng picked up his tea and took a sip. Then, he saw a pair of lady’s slippers in the cabinet at the entrance of Mr. Zhang’s living room. Although the slippers had been washed, it was obvious that they had been worn.

As Lin Jiansheng looked at the pair of shoes, he secretly wondered if Mr. Zhang was hiding a mistress.

Mr. Zhang noticed Lin Jiansheng’s gaze and explained, “Those are my ex-girlfriend’s shoes. We lived together for a period of time.”

Lin Jiansheng nodded in realization.

But in the next second, Mr. Zhang said, “My ex-girlfriend was Ah Kong’s mother.”

Lin Jiansheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Mr. Zhang.

Lin Jiansheng turned around and looked at Ah Kong, then at Mr. Zhang. He asked in bewilderment, “Ah Kong and you are…”

Mr. Zhang shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, “Qingya was pregnant when she lived with me, but we took precautions every time. Ah Kong and I… are not father and son.”

Mr. Zhang stared at Ah Kong’s sleeping face with a mixed expression as he said, “Ah Kong’s existence is a stain on my relationship.”

As long as he saw Ah Kong, Mr. Zhang would never forget that Qingya had betrayed him.

Lin Jiansheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, Mr. Zhang had been cheated on.

Mr. Zhang sighed and said, “Qingya was actually a chaste girl. I’ve known her for more than ten years. We decided to be together after knowing each other for three years. Before me, she had never had any man. She loved me. I could feel it. Even when this child was born, I couldn’t believe that he wasn’t my child. But the blood flowing in his body had no relation to me…”

Even if he wanted to comfort himself, Mr. Zhang couldn’t.

He Zhiqiu had been in town for ten years, so he naturally knew about the matter between Qingya and Mr. Zhang and everything about Ah Kong.

Seeing that Lin Jiansheng had been staring at Ah Kong, He Zhiqiu knew that Lin Jiansheng seemed to like Ah Kong very much. He told Lin Jiansheng, “When Ah Kong was born, Miss Qingya died. After Ah Kong was born, he was brought over by Philand for two years. Later, Philand planned to send Ah Kong to the welfare home, but Mr. Zhang brought him back.”

He Zhiqiu sighed with emotion and said, “Mr. Zhang has really done more than enough.”

Mr. Zhang sneered. “What else could I do? How could I watch him be sent to the orphanage?”

At this moment, Lin Jiansheng suddenly said, “Um, Mr. Zhang, can we talk in private?”

Mr. Zhang knew that Lin Jiansheng’s attitude towards Ah Kong was very unusual. He even suspected that Lin Jiansheng wanted to snatch Ah Kong from him.

Mr. Zhang gave Lin Jiansheng a deep look before saying to He Zhiqiu, “Mr. He, rest early.”

He Zhiqiu stood up and said, “I’m old, so I have to go to bed early.”

He Zhiqiu entered the guest room.

The moment he left, Lin Jiansheng set up a soundproof wall in the living room to prevent eavesdropping.

Mr. Zhang stared at the wall and gave Lin Jiansheng a puzzled look. “Mr. Lin, what are you doing?”

Lin Jiansheng deliberated for a while before saying, “I might know the truth about Ah Kong’s true relationship with you.”

Mr. Zhang frowned slightly with a skeptical gaze.

Lin Jiansheng let out a long sigh before saying, “Mr. Zhang, to be able to come to Ascending Town to be a boss of the base, you must be a knowledgeable person. Have you heard of a thing such as Demon Fetus?”

Mr. Zhang narrowed his eyes and his eyes quivered slightly.

He glanced at Ah Kong, who was sleeping on the small bed, and immediately had a shocking guess.

“Demon Fetus… I’ve heard of it before,” Mr. Zhang said. “In places where demonic energy gathers all year round, there’s a one in ten thousand chance of a Demon Fetus being born. The origin of Demon Fetuses is a mystery, and it can transform into different forms.”

“That’s right. Most people only know the origin of the Demon Fetus, but they don’t know that after the Demon Fetus is purified, it will lose its identity as a Demon Fetus and become the cleanest soul in the world, then reincarnate as a human.”

At this point, Mr. Zhang already understood what he wanted to express.

“Are you saying…” Mr. Zhang looked at Ah Kong in shock and said with a trembling voice,” Ah Kong… is… ”

Lin Jiansheng closed his eyes and nodded. Then, he lamented, “Mr. Zhang, Ah Kong’s name was Kong Qing in his previous life. He was a super demonic creature born in a place called Broken Cliff on the Holy Spirit Continent. Under my influence, he turned into a human and had a father-son relationship with me. But later…”

Recalling the scene when Kong Qing left him, Lin Jiansheng’s eyes were filled with tears.

“When he was a Demon Fetus, he was a kind-hearted child. Five years ago, an unprecedented calamity happened on the Holy Spirit Continent. The citizens of five prosperous cities were facing the danger of being wiped out. In order to help me break through my cultivation level and reach the Purifying Spirit God Realm, Kong Qing was actually willing to have me purify him.”

“He used his entire cultivation level to help me become a Purifying Spirit God. After that, he entered reincarnation.” At this point, Lin Jiansheng looked at Mr. Zhang and said, “Mr. Zhang, the reincarnation of the Demon Fetus doesn’t need a man and a woman to have sex to be born. Perhaps Qingya didn’t betray you…”

After knowing the truth, Mr. Zhang was suddenly stunned.

In an instant, Qingya’s eyes, which were filled with confusion and pain when she discovered that she was pregnant, appeared in his mind.

That day, Qingya held the medical report as she said to him with tears in her eyes, “Brother Ah Yu, would you believe me if I said that I didn’t cheat on you?”

How did he answer back then?

He said, “The bastard is already in your stomach. Do you think I’ll believe you?”

He even said, “You act like you’re devoted to me in front of me, but you’re so promiscuous behind my back. Qingya, you disgust me.”

Mr. Zhang’s hand suddenly trembled.

He reached into his pocket for his cigarette, but he couldn’t hold it firmly and it fell to the ground.

Mr. Zhang’s hands trembled as he struggled to pick up the cigarette box. Then, he suddenly stood up and said, “I’m going out to smoke.” With that, Mr. Zhang went downstairs.

That night, Lin Jiansheng didn’t wait for Mr. Zhang to return.

In the morning, Ah Kong woke up and realized that Lin Jiansheng was actually lying on his small bed. He immediately sat up in surprise. “Uncle Lin, why are you on my bed?!” Although Ah Kong didn’t smile, his dark and round eyes curved up slightly.

He must be overjoyed.

As Lin Jiansheng stroked Ah Kong’s head, he suddenly said to him, “Do you want a home?”

Ah Kong was stunned.

He couldn’t figure out what Lin Jiansheng meant, but a bold idea appeared in his mind.

Ah Kong was afraid that he had misunderstood Lin Jiansheng, so he licked his lips and asked Lin Jiansheng carefully, “Uncle Lin, what do you mean?”

Lin Jiansheng smiled and said, “I want to accompany you forever. Ah Kong, if you’re willing, I want to acknowledge you as my child and live together in the future. If I have a bite to eat, you will have a bite to eat. If you follow me, you will be given the surname Lin. I’ve even thought of a name for you. If you’re willing, you can be called Lin Changkong, or… Lin Kongqing.”

Ah Kong blinked non-stop.

His heart was racing.

Afraid that Lin Jiansheng would notice, he grabbed a pillow and placed it in his arms to hide his violently beating chest.

Ah Kong asked softly, “What does Lin Changkong mean?”

Lin Jiansheng said, “It means that you are an eagle that can fight in the sky.”

When Ah Kong heard this name, he felt that it was very imposing and asked, “Then, what about Lin Kongqing?”

Lin Jiansheng was silent for a moment before saying, “It means Lin Jiansheng’s treasure.”

Ah Kong immediately raised his hand and said, “I like the name Lin Kongqing!”

He liked being Lin Jiansheng’s treasure.
