Chapter 169 You Are My Daughter

"Uncle, why do you keep glancing at me like that?"

Yu Xiang was nestled on the soft sofa, holding a black corpse fruit in her hand, and crunching it down.

She noticed that her father, who would usually be engrossed in research in the lab at this time, was unusually staying at home today.

At that moment, although Shen's father was holding a thick book, his eyes kept sneaking glances at her. His cautious manner was immediately noticed by the sharp-eyed Youxiang.

This laboratory was an idea that Shen's father proposed a few days ago. When Youxiang found out, she built it for him without hesitation.

The laboratory is filled with all kinds of advanced instruments; everything is provided.

When Shen's father saw that Youxiang had caught him in the act, an embarrassed look immediately appeared on his face.

Is he that obvious?

Father Shen gently closed the book in his hand, placed it on the coffee table beside him, then sat up straight, looked at Youxiang, and tried to make his tone sound as natural as possible.

"Little Yuzu, Uncle has something to ask you."

Yu Xiang stopped chewing, then sat up straight, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Shen's father. "Uncle, what do you want to say?"

After a slight hesitation, Mr. Shen asked, "Were your adoptive parents good to you?"

Yuka tilted her head, thought for a moment, and a warm smile appeared on her face: "It's fine."

Although her adoptive parents passed away unexpectedly and have been gone for a long time, whenever she recalls the little moments she spent with them, those heartwarming scenes make her smile.

They treated her like their own child, cooking her delicious meals, teaching her to read and write, and staying by her bedside all night when she was sick.

Then, Mr. Shen asked, "Have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?"

"Biological parents?" Yuxiang shook her head, her jet-black hair swaying slightly with her movement. "I'm doing fine now, and I haven't thought about looking for them. At Peach Blossom Base, I have you, Uncle, and so many other companions. I'm very content."

Mr. Shen was still unwilling to give up. "Don't you want to know about your origins? Maybe your biological parents are looking for you everywhere."

Yu Xiang shook her head again, a serious look on her face.

"I am not curious about my background."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen's eyes dimmed slightly, and a sense of loss welled up in his heart.

He originally thought that Xiaoyouzi would be interested in his background, but to his surprise, she had no interest in that at all.

Since Xiaoyouzi thinks things are fine as they are, he doesn't plan to tell her the truth.

In the past few days, Mr. Shen had been preoccupied with figuring out whether Youxiang was really his daughter.

When Yuxiang wasn't looking, he secretly took a strand of her hair and then went to get a DNA test.

Although Yuka's genes are different from those of ordinary people because she has become a zombie, professional testing can still determine their kinship.

When the test results came out, he was so excited he almost jumped for joy.

He finally found his daughter.

But now, his daughter doesn't want to find her biological parents, which has left him somewhat at a loss.

Just then, Yuxiang suddenly raised her head, looked at Shen's father with her clear and bright eyes, and said sincerely, "Uncle, you actually give me a feeling of being a father."

“You would remind me to put on more clothes when it gets cold, afraid that I would get cold; you would bring back anything fun you see outside for me. If I wanted a father, I would hope it was someone like this uncle.”

After hearing Youxiang's words, the father's originally dim eyes gradually turned into a smile.

He felt he should tell Xiaoyouzi the truth and let her know that he was her biological father.

So, Mr. Shen took a deep breath and slowly said, "Actually, I have a daughter."

At that moment, Yu Xiang, having just finished eating the Corpse Fruit, reached out her little hand towards a comic book on the coffee table, ready to pick it up and have some fun.

Upon hearing Mr. Shen's words, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air before slowly retracting.

She turned around, her big, watery eyes full of curiosity, and looked straight at Shen's father. "Uncle, you actually have a daughter! How come I've never heard Shen Jia mention her?"

Father Shen sighed softly, a hint of melancholy in his eyes. "My daughter went missing when she was little. Xiao Jia wasn't even born yet, and I never told him he had an older sister, so he didn't know about it. For so many years, I've always thought about this daughter, but I just can't find any trace of her."

Yuxiang tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly lit up. "How about I become Uncle's daughter? That way Uncle will have a daughter."

A bright smile instantly bloomed on Shen's father's face, a smile full of relief and emotion. He looked at Youxiang tenderly and said, "You are my daughter."

Yu Xiang was stunned, her eyes widened, and her mouth slightly open, looking utterly astonished.

She stammered, "M-Uncle, what...what's going on?"

Father Shen stood up, walked to Youxiang's side, and gently patted her shoulder. "When I regained my memories, I noticed that you looked a lot like your mother. At that time, I became suspicious and began to doubt your identity. Yesterday, the DNA test results for you and me came out, and it clearly shows that you are my daughter."

Just then, Shen Jia and Qin Zhuo, who had just finished training, walked in.

They both still smelled of sweat from training, and Shen Jia's hair was wet and stuck to her forehead.

Upon hearing Shen's father's words, both of them seemed to be put on pause, stopping in their tracks.

Yu Xiang was still a little incredulous and asked again.

"Am I the old man's daughter?"

Father Shen nodded seriously.

Yu Xiang looked at Shen's father and suddenly shouted loudly.

"dad!"

The word "Dad" stunned Shen's father instantly; he never expected to hear such a title so easily.

His eyes were slightly red.

This is his lost daughter, the daughter he has been searching for for over twenty years.

"Little Yuzu, aren't you going to ask anything?" Father Shen asked softly.

In his heart, Xiaoyouzi must have many, many questions.

After all, she was so young when she got lost, and she had almost no memory of what happened in the past.

She might wonder why she got lost in the first place, where she got lost, and how her biological parents searched for her all these years.

She might even blame her parents for not taking better care of her, which led to this tragedy.

Yu Xiang shook her head vigorously, a big, warm, and bright smile spreading across her face.

She said, "I'm so happy that the uncle is my dad! I don't want to ask about anything else."

Coming to her senses, Shen Jia rushed over to Youxiang and happily called out, "Sister!"

Yuxiang smiled happily, her eyes narrowing into two crescent moons. She patted Shen Jia on the shoulder, "Little brother, please take care of me in the future!"

Shen Jia nodded vigorously.
