Chapter 198 Emotions
It was precisely because of this misjudgment that he became disheartened and did not even think about looking for his son after the war was completely over.
But working backwards from knowing the ending, Core found two clues for him that now seem questionable.
The day before the old party's attack, Qin Yang temporarily used the medical cabin, but deleted the treatment records afterwards.
He didn't think it was unusual at the time because his wife was due to give birth in two months. She would occasionally undergo physical therapy to relieve discomfort, but for confidentiality reasons, she would habitually delete the relevant records.
Another is that on the day of the attack, several starships left the port under Qin Yang's authorization, and one of them had two confidants on board, and its intended destination was the Central Star.
Chen Lin originally thought that this was just an ordinary transportation mission, but now thinking about it, it is very likely that his wife went into premature labor, and then he keenly perceived the intentions of the old party and chose to take the risk to send his son back to the Central Star.
But before he could tell him the news, the command center was attacked, and the warships sent out also encountered Zerg on the way.
The confidant risked his life to send Xiaowang away using a micro escape pod, but he himself died in the process.
By some strange coincidence, his son was miraculously still alive in a place unknown to him.
Xie Zhishu was so moved by this fantastic story that he twisted his nose, but Chen Wang was so stiff that it seemed as if his whole body was frozen by ice.
He had lived that kind of life for twenty years, and now he was told that he was actually the son of the federal president?
Chen Wang couldn't quite describe what his first reaction was.
Shock? Excitement? Joy? Or uncontrollable resentment?
Even though he knew clearly that it was not the fault of the man in front of him who was full of hope.
He waited for the relatives he had imagined in his childhood, but now he subconsciously wanted to escape.
Or perhaps he was under a severe emotional shock, but because of his past experiences, he didn't know how to repay this family love.
He was at a loss.
Shen Lin noticed his reaction and pursed his lips in a somewhat bewildered manner.
Of course he hoped that his son could be close to him, but he also knew that the lost twenty years could never be made up.
"...Xiao Wang, how about you?" He tried to bring up the topic again, "How were you...doing well?"
Xie Zhishu knew roughly about Chen Wang's past experiences, and seeing his somewhat evasive attitude, his heart immediately skipped a beat when he heard the words.
As expected, Chen Wang seemed to be frozen in time. He lowered his eyes and refused to answer, with resistance written all over his body.
"Hey, Old Shen, don't be too anxious," Xie Zhishu said quickly to ease the atmosphere. "It's normal for a child to be unable to accept such a truth suddenly."
"Don't even mention it was him, I couldn't believe it at first!"
He held one of them in each hand and forced them to sit down on the double sofa.
"I've asked for leave for Xiaowang from class this afternoon. We have plenty of time, so let's chat slowly."
Although Chen Wang had an inexplicable awkwardness towards Shen Lin, he was still full of gratitude and respect for Xie Zhishu.
It was Xie Zhishu who approved his free admission to the Central Military Academy.
Chen Wang sat on the sofa, next to his so-called biological father. The two were very close, so he could easily sense the breath, temperature, and even heartbeat of the other person.
He had a strange feeling, as if the same blood flowed in both of their bodies and they were made of the same flesh and blood.
Is this...father?
"Xiao Wang, your father rushed here as soon as he got the news, and he didn't have time to learn more about your situation."
Xie Zhishu personally poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
"If you don't mind, why don't I tell him the general idea?"
'Your dad', what a strange name.
Chen Wang recalled that when he was six years old, the neighbor's aunt smiled and said to her child, "Your father brought you a small cake."
He seemed quite envious at that time.
"It's okay, it's okay not to talk about this." Chen Lin forced a very ugly smile, "Xiao Wang doesn't have to say it if he doesn't want to."
He secretly turned around and wiped away the tears that were rushing out.
Xie Zhishu raised his teacup and took a sip, pretending not to see it.
The negative emotions that had originally arisen seemed to turn into foul air that could be expelled after he saw that Chen Lin beside him seemed to be even more uneasy than him.
Chen Wang took a long breath and removed the shackles he had set for himself in his heart.
"Nothing much." He finally spoke, "According to what you said, I should have successfully landed on the central planet, but it's most likely in the lower area."
"As far as I can remember, I was adopted by a homeless man who told me he found me in a garbage dump."
"after……"
He didn't go into detail, but just briefly emphasized a few important life milestones.
For example, awakening the spiritual body, discovering the talent for mecha, working to earn money, entering the military academy, and meeting Yu Zhi.
These early stages are often accompanied by unspoken pain, and it is not until the homeless man dies that his life visibly improves.
But even without going into detail, you can clearly see what a terrible day it was.
As for Shen Lin, his expression changed when he heard that he was adopted by a homeless person from the lower class area.
He had only paid more attention to this young man, who had the same surname as himself, Shen, and whose spirit form was also dragon-shaped, during the military academy league, but he only knew that he was of commoner origin.
Chen Lin originally thought that he might be adopted by an ordinary family, but after all, with his talent for mental strength, his life should not be too bad.
Who knew that this would be a situation that he could not accept at all.
"I..." He felt that no matter what he said at this moment, it would be so pale, "I'm sorry, Xiaowang..."
He could no longer contain the overwhelming guilt and regret in his heart, and hugged his son tightly.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."
Chen Wang felt the body temperature which was completely different from his, as if something was melting.
He froze for a while, but finally raised his hand hesitantly and patted the other's back twice, which was as broad and strong as the one he imagined his father had.
Forget it, it’s all over.
*
It was three hours later when Chen Wang came out of the principal's office.
Chen Lin had a meeting waiting for him, and he would have plenty of time to spend with his son in the future, so he didn't stay any longer.
As Chen Wang walked out of the office building, he saw the girl in the distance.
It was getting dark, but in his eyes, she was still shining.
It was as if all the unreality he had just felt was rapidly dissipating, and he became determined again.
"Xiao Zhi——"
Yu Zhi, who was getting bored of waiting, raised her head, only to see a broken little dragon with red eyes.
She opened her arms and took in all the other person's vulnerabilities and grievances.
The figures of the two people hugging each other tightly were elongated in the sunset.
