Chapter 48 Entangled Return of Calamity, No End in Sight (5)
After Juncheng took off his shoes and entered the house, he went straight upstairs.
Although I felt a little uneasy, I still followed him upstairs. While looking around, I asked,
“But Juncheng, how will you prove that Keling is your biological sister?”
“At this point, since we just had a paternity test, there should still be one at home… the ‘paternity test’ report.”
Paternity test?
You’ve had that done before?
“Why would you have that?”
“I don’t remember the specific reason clearly. It seems Keling insisted on it, or maybe for another reason… But the reason doesn’t matter. In the end, I never actually saw the report. I was just told that Xinran is my biological sister.”
“And you believed it?”
Of course, there was nothing to doubt, right? After all, they were family, and they wouldn’t lie. At that time, no, until not long ago, I still thought that way.
Juncheng unconditionally believed his family. Moreover, he cared so much about his sisters that he never wanted them to be in danger or entangled in these unusual events, no matter what happened.
Even in the Mirror World, he did his best to prevent the An family from being threatened.
Juncheng was such a family-oriented man. To him, his family was an inviolable sanctuary.
He definitely wouldn’t want to believe that his own family had deceived him.
“Actually, the Yata no Kagami told me from the beginning through its title, but I refused to believe it. However, many other pieces of information later indicated that Xinran was not my biological sister. Even self-deception has its limits. It’s time to understand the truth.”
The truth?
“Why is it that Xinran, who has lived with me since birth, is not my biological sister, while Keling, who later joined our family, is my biological sister? And why did this happen… Ah, I found it.”
I didn’t expect to find it so quickly, it was like searching a bookshelf in a game for the most crucial document.
Juncheng, as the protagonist, found that most important paternity test report.
“You found it? What’s the result?”
“Um, the result…”
“What result?”
Which one is it? Yes or no?
Juncheng handed the thin piece of paper in his hand to me, and the result leaped before my eyes.
This proved two things: first, Dad lied to Juncheng, and second…
…Keling is my biological sister. It’s confirmed.
Juncheng collapsed onto the armchair as if he were drained, covering his forehead with his arm, and let out a long sigh.
“Haaaaa… I didn’t really feel it before, but when I actually saw this, I finally felt it. I’ve done so much to my sister…”
I knew what Juncheng was regretting.
He must have remembered that incident. I hadn’t had time to stop An Keling then. In the end, I never thought An Keling could also ‘enter’, so I didn’t pay attention at all.
Now that I think about it, it was precisely because she was also a Master of Destiny with extraordinary Destiny Power that she was able to enter.
It’s possible that the main reason Juncheng risked coming home was because he was too concerned about this matter. Perhaps he felt he had hurt his sister.
“But Xiao An said that what happens in the Spiritual World becomes each person’s subconscious. That means Keling will remember that incident too.”
“I had a glimmer of hope then, thinking that since Keling and I have no blood relationship… Thinking about it now really makes me feel slapped in the face. How will I face Keling later…”
“Jun…”
For a moment, I couldn’t think of anything to comfort Juncheng with. I could only hold his hand to my chest, hoping to give him some solace.
“And why did Dad lie to me?”
“Probably to prevent any changes in your relationship.”
I couldn’t think of any other reason.
Dad, that man was so serious. If he lied to his family, it must have been for their sake.
“No, that doesn’t make sense, because Xinran knew.”
“Xinran? She knew she wasn’t your biological sister? Really?”
“Yes. I suspect she already knew from this point on, because she told me that she had been ‘night-raiding’ my room every day for about five years…”
I narrowed my eyes and looked at Juncheng with a smile that was not a smile.
However, I actually knew about this matter too, because I had experienced the same thing in the Spiritual World.
But it wasn’t strange for sisters to sleep together; it was a sign of a good relationship. But brothers and sisters together…
“And it lasted for five years. A lot of ‘shameful’ things might have happened.”
“Don’t look at me like that. I had no awareness at all. Who knows why I slept so deeply that I didn’t realize it for five years… It’s possible Xinran hid it well, though.”
“After all, she has a bit of an obsessive-compulsive personality.”
Yes, Xinran was indeed that meticulous type. She could complete any task cleanly and thoroughly, allowing no mistakes.
“Let’s set that aside for now. In short, Xinran suddenly acting like this must be because she knew.”
“For example… that she’s not your biological sister?”
“Yes. Otherwise, given Xinran’s personality, she would never have crossed the brother-sister line. I don’t know how she found out. Perhaps she accidentally saw this report.”
“So, besides Xinran, the only other person who knows this is probably Dad. Mom probably doesn’t know.”
“Yes, Mom doesn’t know, which is why she encouraged me to marry Keling. It didn’t seem like a joke. So she probably doesn’t know. This means that only Dad knew about this from the beginning…”
Juncheng suddenly stood up from his chair, then placed his hands on the table with an extremely serious expression before slowly sitting down again, his body still trembling slightly.
“How desperate must Dad have been when he found out…”
“I can imagine how shocked Dad must have been at that time…”
“Huh? Desperate? What’s there to be desperate about?”
Although it sounds incredible, in the end, it’s not a big deal, is it?
Isn’t it precisely because Juncheng was worried about ethical issues that he was so determined to confirm this?
At this moment, I didn’t understand why Juncheng was so shocked.
In my opinion, this was not a big deal at all.
But Juncheng couldn’t stop trembling. He covered his face with both hands, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.
“Think about it, Zi’ai. This is a terrifying thing. It’s a thing that chills you to the bone if you think about it carefully…”
“Terrifying? What’s terrifying about it?”
It’s just that the sisters swapped identities, right? No, it’s not even a swap of identities.
In the end, regardless of the outcome, they were both Juncheng’s sisters. There was only a difference in blood relationship.
If anything, Keling, if she found out about this…
She would definitely be devastated. The reason she launched such an aggressive love offensive on Juncheng was precisely because she believed there was no blood relationship between her and her brother.
Right, now that I know Keling is the biological sister and also a Master of Destiny, if I stimulate her, it might trigger an abnormal event. Is Juncheng worried about that?
I just don’t know what kind of destiny she carries. Destinies can be good or bad. If it’s a good destiny, there’s no need to worry too much.
“Zi’ai, haven’t you realized it yet? Keling has ‘still’ become my sister.”
“Yes, so what?”
Juncheng emphasized it again, but I still didn’t understand what he meant.
“Okay, Zi’ai, let’s start from the beginning. Keling and I are biological siblings. We should have been born together, but we didn’t live together. For some reason, Xinran became my sister.”
“My sister, and Keling became someone else’s… Normally, it would end there. Let’s just consider it a random event of swapped babies. However, after that, Keling, due to her mother’s remarriage, actually became my sister again. Isn’t a result that seems more like destiny than coincidence terrifying?”
Thinking about it that way, it was indeed the case.
It was as if Juncheng and Keling were connected by some invisible thread…
“I’m okay, but… he seemed to have been greatly impacted.”
“Dad?”
“Yes. You can see from this ‘diary’… The report was also found here.”
This ‘diary’ had no date, and the content was not much, and it was intermittent.
The result is out.
Before today, I never believed in the vague and illusory concept of destiny.
But this piece of paper before me clearly tells me that so-called destiny may indeed exist.
I thought it was just the ramblings of an old man, but I never expected such a thing to really happen.
(A passage was crossed out, illegible)
She is truly my and Qing’s… the one I sent away with my own hands… daughter…
I remember asking Meng Yu to just hug a baby born on the same day. But that turned out to be Yue’s daughter…
Clearly, no one was supposed to know about this. Yue didn’t know either. She always thought Keling was her own daughter and never doubted it.
But, in the end, she still returned.
Not only that, but she even has the same surname…
How could something like this happen… It’s too absurd…
(The writing became messy)
I can’t help but wonder if Yue’s original husband’s death was also because of… And did I pursue Yue because of destiny?
So, was everything arranged by heaven?
Birth, old age, sickness, and death, all under the control of heaven?
Then, what was the meaning of everything I had done…
What was the significance of my journey up to this point?
I thought I had saved many people, but if this was just fate’s arrangement… then what was the meaning of my life so far?
Were the people I saved not truly saved by me, but merely passing through a procedural step through my hands because they hadn’t reached their true death date?
(The bottom half of this page was torn off)
(Turning the page, only one sentence remained)
Perhaps I should go and see that mad old man.
“This…”
This diary belongs to…
“Yes, this is the truth. When we were born, Xinran and Ke were swapped… It wasn’t anyone else, it was Dad…”
