"Actually, I lied to you guys. I don't have a family. I'm an orphan." Xie Mingzhe said calmly.

"An orphan?" Everyone's eyes widened. They couldn't believe the optimistic guy was an orphan.

"That's right." Xie Mingzhe gave a natural expression and explained, "I grew up in an orphanage. The director of the orphanage was like my mother who carefully took care of me and sent me to take painting classes. I took the college entrance examination in June this year and got admitted into the fine art department of Capital University. Then I came to the capital to hunt for a job so that I can afford my living expenses in college. However, I accidentally fell from the third floor and broke my head. I became a vegetable and lay on the Affiliated Hospital of Capital University's bed for a whole month after the accident. I didn't tell you the truth before because I didn't want you guys to pity me."

So far, what he had said was true. However, the experience sounded so unreal that everyone was incredulous.

Chen Xiao thought this was crazy, "So you said you were hospitalized before, and you were saying that you broke your head and became a vegetable?"

"Yes." Xie Mingzhe added, "I have had a lot of fantasies since I was a child. Every time an interesting bit came into my mind I would draw it as practice. This time I was in a coma in the hospital for a month. Surprisingly, my Inner Spirit even got stronger after I rallied and all those painting ideas just kept flowing into my mind."

If he became famous someday, his history and background would definitely be completely investigated——so he had already woven a story as his shield: a dreamy boy who loves painting had stronger Inner Spirit after recovering from a coma. He combined the fake part and the true part together. The records of him being hospitalized as a vegetable were available for inquiry. And it was true that he was an orphan as well as a student in the fine art department of Capital University. Even if someone was sceptical about his story, they wouldn't find any holes.

Chen Xiao couldn't find any obvious flaws in his words, then he turned to Chi Yingying who immediately said, "I heard from my husband that there was a vegetable whose surname was Xie in the Neurosurgeon department of their hospital. He regained his consciousness and was discharged from the hospital several days ago after a whole month's coma. He also said that it was a medical miracle. No way! That guy was you!"

Xie Mingzhe smiled, "What a coincidence. Is your husband a doctor of the affiliated hospital?"

Chi Yingying said, "He worked in the department of cardiology which is right above the Neurosurgeon department's office. It is said that the precedent of a vegetable waking up is pretty rare, so a lot of doctors heard the news that you were discharged from the hospital. Many doctors said that you were blessed by God. Otherwise, the possibility that a patient in a severe coma, like you, could recover is less than 1%."

Unexpectedly, Chi Yingying's husband was a doctor of that hospital, which meant he didn't need to explain further with Chi Yingying unintentionally being his witness.

After Chi Yingying said that, everyone present was reassured immediately. They expressed their amazement at Xiao Xie's good fortune one after another. After a series of accidents, becoming a vegetable and luckily regaining consciousness, his wits shockingly increased instead of decreasing. The only reasonable explanation was that he was blessed by God.

Chen Xiao patted Xie Mingzhe's shoulder and sighed, "It must be tough for you to grow up without parents taking care of you for so many years. Now you can set your mind at rest since you got us, and we will treat you as our family."
