Chapter 82: Quickly Travel! Fate of Ice Star (Thirty-Four)
"Here...is this where you work?" Shu Yang's mother's voice trembled, her eyes full of worry.
Shu Yang quickly stepped forward and held his mother's shoulders, "Mom, don't worry, the base has perfect insulation measures, it won't be cold." As he said that, he led his parents into the base.
Feng Ziang had been waiting at the gate of the base. When he saw Shu Yang's parents, he greeted them warmly, "Hello, uncle and aunt, welcome to Bingxing!" However, Shu Yang's parents just nodded lightly and didn't say much. They looked around. Although the base was warm and bright, the space was small and the equipment was simple, which was far from the high-tech future base they imagined.
"Yangyang, are you going to live here every day?" Shuyang's father frowned, his tone full of worry and reluctance.
Shu Yang knew what his parents were worried about. He held his father's hand and said, "Dad, don't worry. I'm doing well here. My team members are taking good care of me."
Feng Ziang echoed, "Yes, uncle and aunt, Shu Yang is a core member of our team. He is very capable at work and we all admire him."
However, Shu Yang's parents did not change their attitude because of Feng Ziang's words. They still looked at Feng Ziang with scrutiny and suspicion. In their opinion, Feng Ziang was just an ordinary member of the Ice Star Expedition and was not worthy of their son at all.
A few days later, Shu Yang led the team on an important ice exploration mission. This mission was full of risks, but Shu Yang successfully completed the mission with his solid professional skills and calm judgment. When he returned to the base tired but excited, he saw his parents sitting in his room with solemn faces.
"Yan Yan, we came here this time to take you back." Shu Yang's mother looked at her son, her eyes full of heartache and pain, "You can't stay in this damn place anymore, we can't lose you..." "Mom, what are you talking about?" Shu Yang looked at his mother in disbelief. He didn't understand why his parents suddenly wanted to take him back.
"Yangyang, we know you are doing great here," Shuyang's father sighed, "but you can't stay in this icy place all your life. You still have a family and more important things to do."
Shu Yang understood what his father meant, and his heart sank. "Dad, do you mean that I am shirking my responsibility by staying here?"
Shu Yang's parents did not answer, but their silence said it all. Shu Yang felt wronged and angry. He had put all his efforts into the research of Ice Star, but in return he received such comments from his parents. How could he accept this?
"Uncle and aunt, you have misunderstood Shu Yang," Feng Ziang could not help but say, "Shu Yang..."
"Shut up!" Shuyang's father interrupted Feng Ziang, "You have no right to speak here!"
Feng Ziang was startled by Shu Yang's father's sudden anger. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Shu Yang pulled Feng Ziang's sleeve, signaling him not to speak anymore.
"Dad, Mom," Shu Yang took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions, "I know you are worried about me, but I am really happy here and feel very fulfilled. I hope you can respect my choice."
"Happiness? A sense of accomplishment?" Shu Yang's mother sneered, "Shu Yang, don't lie to yourself. You stay here just to escape marriage and family responsibilities!"
"I didn't!" Shu Yang retorted loudly, "I like working here, I like being with my team, this has nothing to do with marriage and family!"
"It has nothing to do with marriage and family?" Shu Yang's father stood up and pointed at Feng Ziang and said, "Then what is he? Don't think we don't know that you like him!"
Shu Yang was stunned, his cheeks turned red instantly, he didn't expect his parents to see through his thoughts. Feng Ziang was also stunned, he didn't expect that the feelings he had hidden for so long would be revealed by Shu Yang's father.
"Let's go!" Shuyang's father took his wife's hand and walked out of Shuyang's room without looking back.
In the room, Shu Yang and Feng Ziang looked at each other, and the air was filled with a suffocating awkwardness and silence. Shu Yang's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and he felt a sharp pain. This pain came not only from his parents' misunderstanding and opposition, but also from his deep self-doubt.
"I..." Shu Yang opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Feng Ziang reached out to hold Shu Yang's hand, but he gently dodged it. Shu Yang lowered his head, tears blurred his eyes. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't know where this relationship, this dream, would go...
Shu Yang felt extremely wronged and sad, and his tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string. He didn't understand why the dream he had been fighting for wholeheartedly became an excuse for his parents to evade responsibility? Why did the person he truly loved become a scourge in his parents' eyes?
Feng Ziang looked at Shu Yang distressedly. He gently held him in his arms and whispered, "Shu Yang, don't cry. I know you feel bad. Your choice is not wrong, and your dream is not wrong. You just chose a different path. I will always support you and stand by your side forever."
Shu Yang's body trembled slightly. He raised his head, looked at Feng Ziang with tears in his eyes, and asked, "But, what about my parents..."
"Don't worry, I will prove to them that I am not what they think I am. I will use my actions to tell them that I am someone worthy of your lifelong trust." Feng Ziang said firmly, his eyes full of love and determination.
Shu Yang's heart was deeply touched by Feng Ziang's words. For the first time, he felt an unprecedented sense of security and stability. Yes, no matter what kind of storms he will face in the future, as long as Feng Ziang is by his side, he will have the courage to face all challenges.
"Feng Ziang..." Shu Yang choked. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to express it.
"Don't say anything, I understand." Feng Ziang gently interrupted Shu Yang. He gently wiped the tears from his face and said softly, "Trust me, I will take care of everything."
Shu Yang nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his excitement. He knew that now was not the time to be weak, he had to cheer up, for his dream, for their love, he had to fight bravely.
"Feng Ziang, let's go talk to my parents." Shu Yang raised his head and looked at Feng Ziang firmly, "I want them to understand that my choice is not wrong, and my love is not wrong."
