My Son Is Absolutely Not That Kind of Person

"I'll remember that."

Chen Ye replied.

Father Chen added, "Oh, right. There's a girl named Tang Zichen who's been very popular online lately. You know about her, right?"

"I know." Chen Ye said calmly, "She successfully matched with the hero talent codenamed S2, becoming the second person in history to accomplish that. It caused a sensation across the country."

"Mm! Her father was actually my comrade-in-arms back in the day. Our families can be considered old friends too..."

Father Chen said, "She's also been admitted to Magic City Martial University. I've already spoken to her, and she'll look after you in the secret realm. Once you get to school, remember to find her and build a good relationship with her, understand?"

"Understood!"

Chen Ye readily agreed, feeling deeply moved inside.

For the sake of his son, Father Chen had truly worried himself sick.

Being a parent really wasn't easy!

At that moment.

His mother, Yang Rongzhi, suddenly chimed in from the side, "Son, it'd be even better if you could bring that girl home. A girl like her is exactly what I envision as the perfect daughter-in-law!"

Hearing this, both father and son fell silent.

"I'll do my best!"

Chen Ye gave a perfunctory reply.

He knew very well that someone who had soared to great heights at such a young age would very likely develop an arrogant personality.

And he happened to dislike arrogant people.

Even if she were as beautiful as a fairy, it wouldn't change that.

Make him become a simp?

Even less possible!

"Alright."

Father Chen stood up and said, "I have something to do. I won't be home for dinner tonight."

Yang Rongzhi was dissatisfied when she heard this. "Our son is leaving in two days. Can't you stay home and rest for a couple of days?"

"Old Tang and his wife are coming over as guests." Father Chen said helplessly. "I have to go entertain them."

Hearing the surname Tang, Chen Ye guessed that perhaps his father had called in a favor. Though he had barely gotten the matter done, it had likely displeased the girl's parents, who had now come looking for trouble.

Otherwise, if they had simply come to strengthen ties, and both husband and wife were coming, Father Chen should have brought Yang Rongzhi along as well. That would have been proper etiquette.

Even Chen Ye could think of that.

Naturally, Yang Rongzhi, who ran a company and did business, could think of it too.

"Drink less."

Yang Rongzhi reminded him, then said nothing more.

After Father Chen left.

Chen Ye also said, "Mom, I'm going to train in the basement."

In the blink of an eye.

Another five days passed.

Outside the station.

Chen Ye stood with his luggage, saying goodbye to his parents.

"Dad, Mom, you should head back! Don't see me off."

Chen Ye said with a smile, "There are a lot of people in the station. You're public figures, after all. Someone might recognize you."

Father Chen said nothing.

Yang Rongzhi said, "Alright, then we won't go in. Be careful on your own. Don't fall asleep on the train."

"Okay." Chen Ye said, "Once I arrive, I'll message you right away to let you know I'm safe."

After saying that.

He didn't linger any longer and left, pulling his suitcase behind him.

For certain special reasons, Psychic University started its school year fairly early, usually at the beginning of June.

And it was already the end of May...

After Chen Ye left.

The couple sat in the car, silently watching his receding figure.

Only after Chen Ye had completely disappeared into the station did Yang Rongzhi sigh and say, "Xiao Chao is always in the military and can't come back, and now Ye'er has left too. This home is getting quieter and quieter."

Father Chen frowned. "The children are grown up. They have their own careers and lives. Do you want to keep them tied to your side forever?"

Yang Rongzhi did not argue with her husband. She merely asked in confusion, "Old Chen, haven't you noticed that Ye'er has changed a lot lately?"

"That kid really has changed quite a bit. He used to be a little frail, but now he looks much sturdier."

"That's not what I mean!"

Yang Rongzhi said irritably, "He's been training himself desperately every day lately, so of course his body has changed... I'm talking about his personality. He's changed a lot. It feels like he suddenly became more sensible."

"Now that you mention it, that kid really has changed a lot."

Father Chen said thoughtfully, "It seems that suffering an appropriate amount of setbacks isn't entirely a bad thing. At the very least, it can help someone grow."

At the mention of this.

Yang Rongzhi became angry. "My son was already smart. He doesn't need other people's blows to grow... Old Chen, have you found anything about what I asked you to investigate?"

"Not yet."

Father Chen was not being entirely honest.

In fact, he had found something.

He had an acquaintance at a telecommunications provider and had checked his son's phone records. He discovered that over the past six months, his son had been in frequent contact with several married women.

He even knew two of them.

One was his subordinate's wife, and the other was his wife's friend...

But Father Chen did not think too much about it.

Could his younger son possibly be involved with those women?

Was Chen Ye, at such a young age, really into something that unusual?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!!

Father Chen felt that his son had probably contacted those women to ask for help with his homework...

He did not want his wife to overthink things.

So Father Chen did not tell her any of this.

"It's been so long. How come you still haven't found any clues?"

Yang Rongzhi frowned. "Don't you know someone at the telecommunications provider? It shouldn't be a problem to ask him to check our son's call records, right?"

"I already had someone look into it. There's nothing wrong with our son's phone records."

Father Chen said half-truthfully, "I even specifically asked some of his classmates. They all said he hadn't dated anyone at school... I'm guessing that kid may have met someone online."

"Is that so?"

Yang Rongzhi still frowned, sinking into thought.

Father Chen started the car as he said, "Honey, don't be so stubborn about this either. If we can't find anything, then forget it. That kid has already moved on, and he's become much more sensible. That's a good thing."

"If he finds out that you're investigating him, it'll affect the relationship between you two."

That made sense.

Yang Rongzhi wavered.

She stopped dwelling on the matter and changed the subject. "Old Chen, do you have any plans for Ye'er's future?"

"Xiao Chao inherited your talent and has become quite accomplished. I'm not worried about him."

"It's just Ye'er. He got confused at a critical point in life and made the wrong choice. If we don't take care of him, his future achievements will be limited. I'm afraid that even if we hand the family business over to him, he won't be able to protect it..."

Father Chen frowned upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he sighed. "In his situation, there's only one way to change his fate..."

Because of the monster threat.

Many transportation routes had been severed, making travel inconvenient.

Although the straight-line distance from Chen Ye's city to Magic City was only around three or four hundred li, it still took him more than seven hours and three train transfers to arrive successfully.

After leaving the station, Chen Ye first sent his parents a message to let them know he was safe, then hailed a taxi and headed straight for Magic City University.
