Chapter 418: Chapter 419: You’re Also Adopted

Shen Yue, after all, was a young lady from a reputable family. Even though she was a bit impulsive today, she couldn’t bring herself to let Song Xiaodong actually bring her a bra. In the end, she just had Song Xiaodong help her fasten the button at the back.

For Shen Yue, this was already quite a bold move. After stepping out, her face was as red as blood from embarrassment, and she didn’t dare to look up at Song Xiaodong again. Just then, a taxi came by, and Shen Yue quickly hopped in and sped off.

Song Xiaodong also hailed a cab and headed straight for Menglan Cafe. Upon entering, he looked around. The place had quite a few people, and there were also some solo girls, but none of them fit the beauty of a school belle, so obviously they weren’t Feng Kexin.

Choosing a relatively secluded spot and having left a message with the waiter, Song Xiaodong casually ordered a cup of coffee and sat down.

Before long, a waitress led a girl dressed in a light green long dress towards him.

At first glance, Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but be taken aback. This girl truly lived up to her reputation as the top beauty on the school belle list. Her face was impeccable, and she held her own even when compared to Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing. With a tall figure, standing almost 1.7 meters tall, with a narrow belt cinching her waist, it accentuated her curves dramatically. The belt also highlighted her long legs and her generous bust.

This woman, in terms of both looks and figure, was the epitome of what most men desired.

"Hello!" Feng Kexin approached Song Xiaodong’s table and extended her hand, which was adorned with a light purple jade bracelet, flashing a light smile that exuded warmth and friendliness, making one feel as if basking in the softness of spring.

Song Xiaodong shook hands with Feng Kexin and then, like a true gentleman, pulled out a chair for her to sit. He asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"The same as yours will do," Feng Kexin glanced at the cup in front of Song Xiaodong.

After the waiter left, Song Xiaodong said with a smile, "Truly worthy of the top-ranked beauty on the school belle list. You really dazzled me just now."

Feng Kexin faced Song Xiaodong’s gaze with a maintained smile and said, "Mr. Song doesn’t strike me as an ordinary man, and having a girlfriend like Shen Yue, how could I possibly dazzle you?"

Song Xiaodong shook his head seriously and said, "I have seen many beauties, but you are just a university student and yet you possess a powerful charisma, enticing people to draw close to you. It’s not an attribute many women have. At least, I’ve seldom seen it."

Feng Kexin replied, "Mr. Song, I didn’t invite you here just to receive your compliments."

Song Xiaodong chuckled, "Indeed, let’s talk business. You invited me here obviously because of this round token." Saying so, he took out the round token.

"Correct," Feng Kexin nodded, her gaze fixed on Song Xiaodong.

As Song Xiaodong toyed with the round token in his hand, he said, "This token is too light, just made from ordinary metal. It seems like it’s just a copy."

Feng Kexin’s eyes lit up, "So you mean you’ve seen the real thing?"

Song Xiaodong, squinting his eyes and staring at Feng Kexin, said slowly, "I’ve seen it in someone’s hands before, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it. Today, I got interested and just casually bid on it."

With a hint of excitement, Feng Kexin asked, "Can you tell me where you saw it? And who was that person?"

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Well... I still don’t know what you’re really after, so why would I casually reveal that person’s information to you?"

"I’m... really sorry, I got too excited there," Feng Kexin calmed her surging emotions and said, "Here’s the thing, I’ve had this round token with me since I was little, and then when I turned eighteen, my parents suddenly told me that I was adopted as a baby, and this round token is proof of my identity, which I could use to find my family in the future."

"What? A proof of identity?" Song Xiaodong’s eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, but I’ve been searching all over the internet these past few days and I couldn’t find anything about this round token."

"Then have you posted any information yourself?" Song Xiaodong asked again.

Feng Kexin said, "When my adoptive parents told me the truth, they mentioned that this round token might be linked to something very significant and I shouldn’t disclose it carelessly to avoid bringing disaster upon myself. Therefore, I haven’t revealed any information online. This time, I acted on impulse and made a fake one to see if anyone would recognize it, and I never expected to actually encounter you."

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Did your parents not give you any more information?"

"No, that’s all they told me on their deathbed... and then they passed away," she replied.

Song Xiaodong was momentarily stunned, realizing from Feng Kexin’s words that her adoptive parents had died together. Seeing Feng Kexin’s sorrowful look, Song Xiaodong did not want to probe further into her painful memories and said, "So that’s the case, you’re looking for someone who recognizes this round token in order to find out about your origins?"

"Exactly! That’s what I’m thinking. Mr. Song, could you possibly..."

Looking at Feng Kexin’s anxious and hopeful face, Song Xiaodong gave a wry smile and said, "Then I’m really going to disappoint you."

"Ah? You’re lying to me?" Feng Kexin’s expression suddenly turned ugly.

"It’s not that I’m lying to you, but what I have to tell you is that I also possess such a round token. However, my parents died even earlier, and I have no idea where this round token came from."

"Ah, doesn’t that mean, you and I are alike, both having been fostered?"

"What? How is that possible?" Song Xiaodong’s expression turned somber at once; those words seemed to insult his parents.

Feng Kexin quickly gestured with her hands and said apologetically, "Ah, sorry, I was only guessing about your origins based on my own experience. After all, this round token is really unique. I’ve studied it for a long time and still can’t figure out what metal it’s made of."

"It’s okay." Song Xiaodong took a sip of his coffee, trying to settle his emotions. Feng Kexin’s words had indeed stirred something inside him.

"Mr. Song... if it’s not too much trouble, could we maybe take a look at each other’s round tokens later on?" Feng Kexin hesitated before asking cautiously.

Song Xiaodong nodded and replied, "No problem, it’s not convenient for me to get it today, but let’s arrange another time to meet up tomorrow."

"Great! Thank you so much, Mr. Song," Feng Kexin also looked very happy. Even if she couldn’t solve the mystery of her origins, the prospect of having found a companion was certainly something to be happy about.

But for Song Xiaodong, his mood at that moment wasn’t quite as bright.
