Chapter 421 - 422: Long-Lost Siblings?
"Sorry, I don’t have any men’s slippers at my place, so you’ll just have to make do with these," offered Feng Kexin, handing Song Xiaodong a pair of dainty women’s slippers.
Song Xiaodong cracked a slight smile and said, "No need, I don’t think my feet smell or anything. If you don’t mind, I’ll just go without. Wearing your slippers might make you uncomfortable anyway."
"Well, ..." Feng Kexin felt a bit awkward and replied, "Okay then, just come in like that."
Feng Kexin’s home was a small apartment with just a living room and a bedroom, plus a small kitchen and balcony. It was simple but very tidy and clean.
After a quick glance around, Song Xiaodong asked, "Is this your place?"
"I rent it. I usually live at school, but I stay here over the weekends. Would you like something to drink?"
"No, thanks. I just wanted to have a look at your round token." As he spoke, Song Xiaodong took out his own round token.
Feng Kexin quickly fetched her round token, and the two exchanged them to look them over carefully.
After a moment, they exchanged glances. Feng Kexin said, "These two round tokens are exactly the same, they must come from the same place."
Song Xiaodong nodded and handed Feng Kexin’s token back to her, saying, "Indeed, they’re mostly the same, but there are still some subtle differences."
"Differences?" Feng Kexin examined the two round tokens closely in surprise, then exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, there are differences! There’s a tiny number on the dragon’s head. Mine has a four, and yours has a one."
Song Xiaodong nodded and replied, "Right, I might have just taken it to be a stroke on the dragon’s body, but now it seems to be some kind of code. Mine probably represents one, and yours four."
