"Forget it, let Xiao Leng be guided by his own heart!" Bai Zhengxuan shook his head slightly.
If Leng Yebai really is the son of the Base Commander, there’s a good chance of acceptance.
After all, the Base Commander didn’t truly abandon Leng Yebai; he was stolen away.
And Leng Yebai, despite his cold exterior, has a warm heart, so he wouldn’t truly ignore his father.
Just by looking at a face, how can one confirm if it’s a biological relation?
Even with soone like Bai Yifan, the prophet, it isn’t completely reliable.
Parentage tests were easy to find before the apocalypse, but now with zombies everywhere, are we expected to let a zombie bite to taste the blood type?
Leng Yebai couldn’t clearly express what he was feeling in his heart.
If that Base Commander was his father, why did he grow up in an orphanage?
If Xiao Niu and he had a child, they would cherish him dearly; how could he end up in an orphanage?
Even if he accidentally lost him, it would be too careless!
If it were his own child, he wouldn’t dare to lose him under any circumstances!
Resentnt was inevitable.
But there’s also a hint of expectation.
All these mixed emotions left Leng Yebai unsure of what to do for a mont.
Previously, he had never had family; he later regarded Xiao Niu’s family as his own.
He never expected a person to suddenly appear, soone who might be his father.
A father by blood relation.
Leng Yebai felt a complex mix of emotions and didn’t know what to do.
"What are you thinking?"
Bai Xiqin suddenly walked alongside Leng Yebai from behind, gently clasping Leng Yebai’s big hand with her soft fingers.
Her soft fingers lightly steadied his wildly beating heart, calming it down.
In that mont, Leng Yebai suddenly cald down, and those soft fingers chased away his restless mood.
"I’m thinking, is this person my father, and who would my mother be?" Leng Yebai said frankly.
Any orphan who has never t their biological parents would imagine what their parents might be like.
Whether resenting them, hating them, or missing them, they would still want to see what their parents are like.
"There’s no place here to do a parentage test, it might be difficult to confirm." Bai Xiqin looked at Leng Yebai and smiled softly, "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, don’t you?"
How could there be people so alike without any blood relation in the world?
Even if there are, what are the odds that one lost a son while the other grew up an orphan?
The inheritance of superpowers and genetics have so relation, and a Thunder Ability User might have a child with a different ability, but the likelihood of their child having a Thunder Ability is greater.
Moreover, the existence of blood relations would allow them to feel a unique force pulling them together.
Perhaps, at the first sight, this father and son had a special perception.
"Ha!"
Leng Yebai chuckled softly, his expression unclear, and his mood undetectable.
Bai Xiqin’s fingers swayed gently as if her fingers were swinging back and forth like a swing.
It tickled his palm, and the sensation reached his heart.
This ti, Leng Yebai really smiled, his lips slightly curled up, and even his usually cold eyes carried a hint of affection.
"Let’s go back! Don’t let Grandpa and the others worry."
Leng Yebai stopped walking, holding Bai Xiqin’s hand as they walked back.
He was still thinking, wondering if his abrupt departure earlier was impolite.
He hoped he wouldn’t leave an impression of having an eccentric personality on his father-in-law’s family.
"Why? Aren’t you afraid to see that person when you go back?" Bai Xiqin looked at Leng Yebai with a faint smile on her face.
"If I see him, so be it!"
Leng Yebai stretched out his finger and gently tapped Bai Xiqin’s forehead, his eyes soft enough to almost overflow with tenderness.
He now had a family, and it was a confird fact that he was Bai Family’s son-in-law.
Even if inexplicably, people showed up claiming to be his parents, it couldn’t change this fact.
The events back then cannot be verified, so whatever they say goes!
The question of recognizing parents is premature, ti will reveal a person’s heart, and if they have ulterior motives, he would not acknowledge them.
And also...
Leng Yebai was curious to know what his mother would look like.
Even if he always had an air of mature steadiness as a child, never like other children crying for his mom and dad, he still wanted to see them.
Now, unlike when he was younger, he didn’t have a strong desire to find his biological parents, but there are monts when he’s very eager to know what they look like and if they cared about his existence.
Leng Yebai admitted that before he t Xiao Niu, his feelings were very indifferent, but when he was about to touch the boundary of emotions, he still wanted to take a look.
Just a glance would suffice.
It’s not about familial joys, maybe just to soothe childhood fantasies!
Bai Xiqin sensed that Leng Yebai’s steps seed lighter.
The two quickly returned to the bus, and in the few minutes around the bus, the Zombie Dogs had turned to ashes.
The walls were also rebuilt by Earth Ability Users.
The Base Commander with a similar face to Leng Yebai was rubbing his hands as he watched Leng Yebai co in, with a hint of nervousness on his face.
Like a prospector who suddenly found treasure, unsure how to handle the newfound wealth.
Leng Yebai slightly lowered his eyes and didn’t look at the Base Commander, just holding Bai Xiqin as they sat on the sofa.
The Bai Family didn’t speak; they deliberately pretended to be busy with their own things to give them a chance to talk.
Bai Yifan picked up a book that could enhance intelligence.
Bai Zhengxuan and Bai Anhai played Go.
Wang Yiyun and Liu Jing were having an arm-wrestling match.
In short, everyone seed busy with their tasks, but they were all paying attention to Leng Yebai and the Base Commander.
"Are you doing well?"
The Base Commander struggled for a long ti before finally speaking.
"I don’t know if you’re referring to the past or the present." Leng Yebai toyed with Bai Xiqin’s fair fingers, his gaze soft, and his voice devoid of any harm.
But the Base Commander could hear it, Leng Yebai was probably blaming him.
He couldn’t bla the child; he had never forgiven himself over the twenty years for not guarding against his brother.
The Base Commander lowered his eyes slightly; in his heart, he had already believed that the young man before him was his long-lost son, but...
Would he forgive him?
Would he believe what he said and truly think he was his father?
This thought was too extravagant, so extravagant that he felt imnsely satisfied by rely imagining a scene of fatherly compassion.
The imagination was beautiful, followed by a deeper sense of guilt.
He found his son, but the family of three could never reunite.
The Base Commander remained silent, but Leng Yebai looked up at him.
"Where’s your wife?"
Leng Yebai’s voice was calm, calm to the point of having no waves.
The Base Commander suddenly looked up, staring straight into the eyes that resembled his wife’s.
The Base Commander swallowed hard, his gaze a bit flustered, his lips moved, but no words ca out.
Earlier, when he ntioned his wife’s passing, Leng Yebai wasn’t there.
