[Innocent Murderer 23] Chapter 23 - Competition and Tribute

"Why did are you so skinner now?" Zhan QiTian stuffed Zhan Zhao into the car, sat in the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt "What did you eat everyday?"

Zhan Zhao fastened his seat belt and whispered "Bento."

Zhan QiTian frowned slightly, he started the car, and drove to the suburbs.

"Dad..." Zhan Zhao saw that Zhan QiTian was driving seriously and didn't speak, so he asked "What do you want to tell me? Why so mysterious?"

Zhan QiTian kept silent for a while, and said "I want to show you something."

"What is it?" Zhan Zhao asked with a smile, looking at his father's side view, he secretly praised —— So handsome~

Zhan QiTian saw Zhan Zhao smiling, and the faint anger in his heart subsided and said "When we are home, you can take your time to look at it."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao nodded, glanced at Zhan QiTian from time to time, and found that his expression was not as ugly as before, and he was relieved.

The car drove all the way to the suburbs. As the air slowly became fresh, the low air pressure in the car slowly disappeared. Zhan QiTian pointed to the back seat to Zhan Zhao and asked "Have you eaten yet?"

Zhan Zhao turned his head and saw a box on the back seat. Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes... Takoyaki!

He reached out to get it, opened the box and ate it, while muttering in his heart as he ate "Hmph, my father is still the best!"

As a result, Zhan Ba Ba [1]  successfully tamed his kitten with a box of takoyaki, and the father and son drove to the suburbs while chatting and laughing.

[1] Zhan Ba Ba // 展爸爸 is referring to Zhan Zhao's father.

After stopping the car, Zhan QiTian carried Zhan Zhao to the bedroom on the second floor. After putting him on the bed, he gave him a folder and said "Here."

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and took a look at it... He was stunned as he looked up at Zhan QiTian "This is... Paternity test..."

Zhan QiTian nodded "I'm your biological father, can you rest assured now?"

Zhan Zhao's face was a little red, and he asked in a low voice "How do you know?"

"You don't want to go home anymore, you look like you have seen a ghost when you see me." Zhan QiTian moved a stool over and sat down "How could I not know about it?"

Zhan Zhao held the document, and the big stone fell in his heart, and said "Then why, Zhao Jue said that day..."

"You believed what he said?" Zhan QiTian was feeling a little helpless "He was teasing you."

Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled and asked "But... You clearly said..."

Zhan QiTian's face was a little embarrassed, and he said "... I'm teasing you too..."

= = ... Zhan Zhao is speechless, if this is true, then Zhan QiTian is the most boring dad in the whole entire world, but if it is a lie, then he's the worst liar dad in the world!

"There are still some more things to show you." Zhan QiTian said, he took out a document wrapped in a plastic bag from the desk drawer, and gave it to Zhan Zhao "This is part of Zhao Jue's research materials left over from that year."

Zhan Zhao took it in surprise, opened it and looked seriously.

Zhan QiTian went downstairs silently, took out the vegetables he had bought from the trunk of the car, went back to the kitchen, cooked and made a table full of dishes, all of which is Zhan Zhao's favourite.
