“You want to create a god, you want him to be the center of the world, but have you asked him if he wants to?” Yu Wei wiped away her tears, biting her lip and swallowing her sorrow. “I just want to be an ordinary person, to live an ordinary life with family, friends and lovers.”

"I don't want war, I don't want bloodshed, I don't want tears. I want interstellar peace, I want sunflowers to bloom in the fields, I want children to run happily in the sunshine. I want to be born into an ordinary family and be an ordinary person!"

He was just an ordinary person, and all he wanted to be was an ordinary person.

“But your background means you can’t be an ordinary person!” Lin Ling rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath, holding back, holding back, he couldn’t beat this rebellious son to death. “You have enjoyed the credit of your predecessors, so you must bear the responsibility of protecting the fruits of victory.”

"I can't choose my own background!"

"Smack!"

Yu Wei's hysterical rebuttal earned her another slap, two handprints, one on the left and one on the right, strikingly symmetrical.

"I never imagined I'd end up raising such a useless piece of trash!" Lin Ling exclaimed angrily, her words dripping with rage. "If I'd known you were this stupid, I should have aborted you!"

"So, I'm just a tool you created to maintain your rule, is that it?"

A hint of relief was mixed in with the sorrowful and melancholic tone. Hearing Lin Ling's words, Yu Wei felt a sense of relief for some reason, but the weight on his heart grew heavier and heavier, making it hard for him to breathe.

To be fair, although he was annoyed by Lin Ling and the others' plans and the endless constraints they placed on him, he still couldn't completely sever his ties with Lin Ling and Yu Zhen. After all, they gave him life, gave him the most sincere love, endowed him with the ability to love and be loved, and taught him the principles of being a person.

But he was still very angry, angry at Lin Ling's exploitation, and angry at their cold-heartedness.

How is there any difference between those who treat human life so lightly and those who were once rulers of empires?

He thought he was loved, but reality slapped him hard, telling him that he was wrong from birth, that he was nothing more than a knife, a tool, something that could be discarded at any time.

What he received was fake from the very beginning; he simply wished it were real.

At this moment, he finally understood why he had gone to such lengths to awaken his other side of personality, and why he was always at the forefront. It was simply because he was tired, scared, and wanted to leave this false world.

“That’s not what I meant. I was just too angry, so I…” Once the facts are established, no amount of effort will make a difference. Lin Ling lowered her head, her eyes filled with regret, and murmured softly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

"Thank you." Yu Wei interrupted him, speaking slowly amidst Lin Ling's shocked gaze, uttering an extremely cold statement, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for taking the trouble to wake me up with those two slaps."

"I will fully cooperate with your plan to achieve your desired goals and will also complete the tasks you have assigned me, as a way of repaying your kindness in raising me."

Yu Wei straightened up, carefully smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes, adjusting the badge on his chest and the epaulets on his shoulders. His eyes were cold and his expression indifferent: "I will do everything in my power to fulfill your wishes, even if it costs me my life."

After saying that, he strode away without looking back.

The footsteps grew louder and louder, each one striking Lin Ling's heart. He reached out his hand blankly, but could only watch Yu Wei's figure grow further and further away, light filtering through his fingers and casting shadows on his clothes.

Yu Wei's love and hate are both very pure.

Lin Ling slowly lowered her hands, which slid to her sides. She lowered her head, letting the slanting light shine on her and cast shadows on the wall.

He stood there, like a statue, standing quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ling finally snapped out of her daze and eagerly requested a video call with Zhou Siyu.

"Hey, uncle, what's wrong?"

Lin Ling's voice was not as calm as usual; it trembled slightly as if she had been frightened. Zhou Siyu couldn't help but tense up, and cold sweat broke out on her palms.

"Siyu, I need to ask you for a favor..." Lin Ling hesitated before telling Zhou Siyu what had just happened. After speaking, she sighed deeply, "I was just too angry at the time, that's why I said those things..."

"I'll try my best." Zhou Siyu sighed softly and comforted him gently, "Uncle, don't worry too much. Yu Wei is probably just having a moment of confusion and got a shock, which is why he's talking nonsense. Don't be too sad."

"So please, you must help me..."

"Well, I'll try my best." Zhou Siyu thought for a moment, then frowned slightly. "But I'm not in the Second Star Sector right now, and I can't contact Yu Wei either..."

"Yu Wei's communication with the outside world was cut off during the mission, but it has now been restored. Try again."

"Okay, Uncle, don't worry too much. Get some rest. I'll contact Yu Wei and see."

Every family has its own problems. When Yu Wei and Lin Ling have a conflict, the most difficult ones are him and Yu Zhen, who are caught in the middle. They have to appease both Yu Wei and Lin Ling, which is really difficult.

Lin Ling sighed, gave a bitter smile, and got up to leave the conference room.

Yu Wei returned to his dormitory, changed into his everyday clothes, put on his hood, and left without looking back.

He felt very oppressed in this place and wanted to escape to a free place.

There was no tedious, boring training day and night, and no one's constant chatter.

There, he could be an ordinary person and have an ordinary life.

There, he wouldn't have to bear expectations or live for the ambitions of others.
