What is this seedling? Very strange!

Okay, I ordered some seeds off Wish.com. I love their site, but don't order seeds! I ordered 4 different varieties. all of them came in bags with Chinese characters on them and no way to tell what is inside. I planted some I suspected were String of Pearls succulents but.... they are not.

I ordered: Dwarf banana tree seeds, begonia rex seeds (which I know look like dust), sensitive plant seeds and String of pearls succulent seeds. 3 of the 4 bags have small, round, dark brown seeds that all look alike. (banana, sensitive, pearls.)

any ideas will be great! I'm gonna keep growing the lil monster and see what it becomes.

I should add that it seems to be both vining and upright. trifoliate leaves.

They are stretching for light, but I’m thinking alfalfa?

It looks a little like chocolate vine (akebia) but those have five leaves and I can't tell for sure from the pictures.

I see both three- and five-leaflet leaves. could be akebia.
