章 9: Chapter 9: Is the Top Not My Own Child?

Chapter 9: Is the Top Not My Own Child?

Although Chen Ye's audacious move stunned countless netizens,

However,

He only ranked second on the trending news list.

The news in first place was far more sensational, truly shocking the whole country!

Coincidentally, this sensational news also came from today's Hero Compatibility Event.

A high school student successfully bonded with the hero codenamed S2!

This was the second instance in the country's history of a successful S2 hero bonding.

That girl named "Tang Zichen" became famous overnight!

Considering the achievements of Mrs. Qin, who previously bonded with S2, it's clear that as long as Tang Zichen doesn't meet an untimely end, her future accomplishments are bound to be outstanding.

Perhaps, the country will see the emergence of another top-tier powerhouse!

The appearance of such a powerhouse, as long as they're not morally corrupt, is indeed a fortunate event for the nation.

So,

The netizens' comments were very positive, with most expressing their blessings for Tang Zichen.

The comments about Chen Ye, on the other hand, were the complete opposite...

...

After playing with his phone for a while, Chen Ye thought that his dad must have been subdued by his mom by now, so he put down his phone and went downstairs.

He wanted to test the extraordinary aspects of his Saitama physique.

There was a training room in the basement of the villa, which had been transformed and was spacious enough, equipped with various fitness equipment, perfect for Chen Ye to utilize.

Just as he reached the first-floor staircase, he overheard his parents talking in the living room and couldn't help but stop to eavesdrop.

Father Chen: "...What do you think I'm so angry about? Is it really for

my old face? Isn't it all because I'm worried about Ye'er! This kid doesn't know what he's thinking, choosing a C-level hero talent. I'm afraid he won't even pass the secret realm!"

Yang Rongzhi: "Secret realm? Is it as scary as you say?"

Father Chen: "What do you know? The secret realm has another name, the Land of Terror, filled with all sorts of monsters. Although they are not as formidable as the ones outside the city walls, they are not to be underestimated. Without the ability to protect oneself, it's easy to die in there!"

"What should we do?" Yang Rongzhi panicked: "Ye'er is your own son, you are his biological father, you can't just ignore him."

Father Chen: "What do you mean? Are you saying that the eldest isn't my own child?"

Yang Rongzhi: "...What are you talking about? I want you to pay attention to Ye'er."

Father Chen: "I would pay attention to him without you saying... There was another big news today. A kid successfully bonded with an S2 hero talent. Have you heard about it?"

"I've heard about it, of course." Yang Rongzhi: "What does this have to do with our Ye'er?"

Father Chen: "That kid's father is Tang Qiangjun, a former colleague of mine, remember him?"

"I remember, you saved him once, and he sent us gifts to show his gratitude..." Yang Rongzhi exclaimed excitedly: "Are you saying?"

Father Chen: "Yes, I saved his life six years ago. If we can get his daughter to protect our son through the secret realm, I think there should be no problem. The two kids are of the same age, I will make an effort to arrange for them to go to the same university."

"Although it's a bit like taking advantage of favors, for Ye'er, I can only do this."

"Right, right, right, Old Chen, you really are the man I, Yang Rongzhi, chose, always having a solution!"

Yang Rongzhi joyfully said: "That child who bonded with the hero, I saw her video, she is so pretty, a good match for our Ye'er. If the two kids develop feelings over time and end up together, that would be even better."

Father Chen: "..."

"Although Ye'er is our son, I have to say, don't daydream. That child, as long as she survives, her future achievements are immeasurable, and not something our Ye'er can match."

Yang Rongzhi: "That's not necessarily true, our Ye'er is so handsome, and he's sweet-talking..."

At the staircase.

Chen Ye listened to all this, his heart full of emotions.

It's said that a parent's love is the most selfless, and this couldn't be truer.

Just moments ago, Father Chen was extremely angry, but for the sake of his son's future, he still painstakingly strived to create the best possible future for him.

It's truly the boundless heart of parents.

"Cough cough!"

Chen Ye pretended to cough and walked out.

Yang Rongzhi and Father Chen turned their heads at the sound.

Seeing Chen Ye, Father Chen's face immediately stiffened, his eyes blazing with anger, looking like he wanted to scold his unfilial son.

Chen Ye, seeing this, quickly came over and apologized:

"Dad, I'm sorry, I was foolish and brought shame upon you…"

Father Chen's face, identical to his father's on Earth, made it natural for Chen Ye to call him without feeling awkward.

Now Chen Ye was certain.

This was a parallel world.

The couple before him were his parents from another world!

Only their fates were different.

"Hmph!"

Father Chen snorted coldly.

Although his heart was breaking for his son, he couldn't lose his dignity as a father.

Chen Ye didn't mind his father's tsundere attitude; as long as his dad was happy, that was what mattered.

But Mother Yang Rongzhi was not pleased.

"Our son has already apologized, why are you still making that face?"

After scolding Father Chen, Yang Rongzhi then turned to Chen Ye, her face full of concern.

"Chen Ye, tell your mom the truth, are you in love? Did you choose to bond with a C-level hero because of an unsuccessful romance?"

Chen Ye was stunned.

He admired his mother's imaginative leap.

He thought for a moment, finding the excuse quite good as it saved the need for explanations, so he remained silent.

Seeing her son not speaking, Yang Rongzhi thought she guessed correctly, and said sympathetically: "Silly boy, you're still so young, you'll definitely meet better girls in the future, there's really no need..."

She didn't want to continue the sentence.

What had happened had happened, and saying more was pointless, only serving to make her son feel sad again.

"Mom, I'm fine now."

Chen Ye said, "I'm going to the basement to play for a while, call me when it's time to eat."

"Okay, go ahead."

Yang Rongzhi quickly agreed, her face full of maternal love.

As soon as Chen Ye left, her expression changed, furious and gritting her teeth: "Old Chen, have your people check thoroughly, I want to see who this vixen is that's harmed my son!"

...

Arriving in the basement.

Seeing the luxurious decoration of the training room and various expensive fitness equipment, Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh: It's good to be wealthy.

Then, he began to test the extraordinary aspects of his Saitama physique.

"If I remember correctly, Saitama's training routine is 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day…"

"With my current body, completing these exercises is not going to be easy."

"Let's start slowly, beginning with the 10-kilometer run!"
