Bai Yan was definitely worried, but when Cheng Yu said the three words "family", his heart felt as soft as if it were smoothed by a feather.
He pondered for a moment, and finally sighed, "Since you insist, then let's do as you wish, but—" His tone changed, his eyes cold, "Whether you ask or not, if you find something wrong, leave immediately."
Bai Lishu stood up and walked to Cheng Yu's side, reached out to take his light computer, and called up a tracking system. This system was newly developed by her, and even the highest military alliance in the galaxy had not used it yet.
She lowered her head and operated it for a few times, then returned the computer to Cheng Yu. Her tone was stern: "I have installed real-time positioning on your computer. If there is any accident, you can knock three times."
Cheng Yu looked at their worried faces and nodded gently, a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I will be careful."
Bai Yan nodded, took Cheng Yu's wrist, pressed it to his lips and kissed her, then clasped their fingers together, "Don't let yourself get hurt, okay?"
The last time Cheng Yu was injured, he was heartbroken. He was angry that Cheng Yu didn't take his body seriously, and he hated himself for not protecting him.
Cheng Yu looked up at Bai Yan and blinked, with a little light flickering in his violet pupils.
He was not afraid, but he could feel Bai Yan's worry.
"Okay, I agree." Cheng Yu's voice was soft but firm.

The next day at noon, on the top floor of the Nebula Hotel.
Cheng Yu walked into the box alone. The lights in the box were soft, but there was a depressing atmosphere.
A long table stood in the middle of the room, with a pot of steaming tea on it.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the city skyline, and the sunlight pouring through the windows gives people a sense of oppression.
Next to the floor-to-ceiling window stood a figure with a slightly hunched back body and slicked-back hair. His silver hair shone brightly in the sunlight.
"Hello, Cheng Yu." The man turned around slowly. His face was handsome but full of traces of time. His deep eyes were full of kindness.
Cheng Yu frowned slightly and did not answer immediately, but looked at him.
like.
The man smiled slightly. He slowly walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, pointing to the seat opposite him: "Sit down. You can call me grandfather like Xiaoyan. I am Li Qingzhu's alpha father, Li Shuheng."
Guessed it.
I just didn't expect it to be my father.
Cheng Yu sat down with confidence. Last time in the secret room, he heard Bai Qinghan say that this person seemed to be one of the people he had recreated.
Li Shuheng didn't urge her, and the smile on his face remained gentle: "Maybe you are not familiar with me, but I believe you must have heard something about me from Xiaohan."
Cheng Yu did not speak immediately, but looked carefully at Li Shuheng in front of him.
His expression was calm, but there was a hint of inquiry in his violet pupils.
After a moment, "Why don't you look for father or Bai Yan?" Cheng Yu tried to speak as completely as possible, considering his relationship with the Bai family.
Li Shuheng gently raised his teacup and looked out the window at the city skyline filled with golden light from the sun, as if he was reminiscing or sorting out his emotions.
"The reasons are complicated, Cheng Yu." He smiled slightly. "Actually, when my Li family came back from the future and told me what would happen, I was very confused."
"When you came out of the breeding chamber, I was the first one to hold you. You just looked at me like that at that time, but I was the one who sent you away with my own hands." Li Shuheng has been tormented by guilt over the years.
He felt sorry for Cheng Yu, and even more sorry for the ancestors who had entrusted him with such an important task. So after knowing that Cheng Yu was taken back to the Bai family by Bai Yan, he didn't dare to go see Cheng Yu.
Li Shuheng's eyes revealed deep fatigue, and he gently put down the teacup in his hand. "Over the years, I have been living in guilt, feeling that I owe you too much, and I owe you even more time."
Obviously, the gene transfer experiment was initiated so that Cheng Yu and Bai Yan could reunite and spend more time together, but unexpectedly, in the end, he would still separate them for eighteen years because of humans.
Mingming knew that the reason why Cheng Yu and Bai Yan met through the gene transfer experiment was to protect humanity.
They have already sacrificed once for humanity, and they selfishly want them to sacrifice a second time.
Li Shuheng's voice flowed slowly in the air, carrying an emotion that was hard to conceal.
Cheng Yu listened without feeling much emotion.
"Over the years, I've been thinking," he finally said, his voice steady and low, "If I hadn't sent you away, if I hadn't started this experiment..."
"No ifs." Cheng Yu didn't let him continue.
He knew very well that if it weren't for this experiment, Bai Yan and he would never have met.
Although the days before were difficult and he felt resentful, what he hated was why his parents didn't love him, and what he hated was the people in the retreat center.
But later, when he met Bai Yan, Bai Luoqi, and Opp, he felt it was worth it.
And it is because of this that he is able to protect them. If not, he might not even be able to protect himself.
"Yeah... there's no if." He sighed, his voice full of fatigue, "But I still can't free myself from the guilt, and all my choices seem to have hurt you."
Cheng Yu looked at Li Shuheng silently, but showed no anger or blame.
"No, I regret it." Cheng Yu spoke word by word.
Li Shuheng looked at Cheng Yu and listened to these words. He seemed to see the tenacity in Cheng Yu's heart, and also saw his own weakness and struggle.
