Although Chen Ye's audacious move stunned countless netizens.

However.

He was only ranked second on the trending news list.

The news ranked first had much higher popularity, truly causing a nationwide sensation!

Coincidentally, this sensational news also came from today's Hero Aptitude event.

A high school student had successfully bonded with a hero codenamed S2!

This was also the second case in the nation's history of successfully bonding with an S2 hero.

The girl named "Tang Zichen" instantly became famous!

Thinking about Ms. Qin, who had previously bonded with S2, and her current achievements, everyone understood that this girl named "Tang Zichen," as long as she didn't perish prematurely, her future achievements would undoubtedly be outstanding.

Perhaps, the country would once again have a top-tier powerhouse!

The emergence of a top-tier powerhouse, as long as they were not morally corrupt, would be a fortunate event for the country.

Therefore.

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

It was a complete contrast to the comments about Chen Ye...

After playing with his phone for a while, Chen Ye figured his father must have been subdued by his mother, so he put down his phone and went downstairs.

He wanted to test the extraordinary aspects of the Saitama Physique.

This villa had another underground level, which had been converted into a training room. The space inside was large enough and equipped with various fitness equipment, perfect for Chen Ye to utilize.

As soon as he reached the staircase on the first floor, he heard his parents talking in the living room and couldn't help but stop to eavesdrop.

Chen Father: "...You think I'm angry for no reason? You think it's all for my old face? It's all because I'm worried about this brat! This kid, I don't know what foolishness he's gotten into, choosing a C-class Hero talent. I'm afraid he won't even be able to get through the Secret Realm!"

Yang Rongzhi: "Secret Realm? It's not as scary as you say, is it?"

Chen Father: "What do you know? The Secret Realm has another name: Land of Terror. It's filled with all sorts of monsters. Although they're not as strong as the monsters outside the city walls, they shouldn't be underestimated. Without the strength to protect yourself, you could easily die in there!"

"Then what should we do?" Yang Rongzhi panicked. "Ye'er is your own son, you're his father, you can't just abandon him."

Chen Father: "What do you mean? Is the eldest not my biological son?"

Yang Rongzhi: "...What nonsense are you talking about? I want you to take Ye'er seriously."

Chen Father: "I'll take him seriously without you telling me... There's also big news today. A child successfully bonded with an S2 Hero talent. Did you hear about it?"

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

Chen Father: "That child's father was a former colleague of mine, named Tang Qiangjun. Do you remember him?"

"I remember. You saved him before, and he sent us gifts to show his gratitude..." Yang Rongzhi said excitedly. "You mean...?"

Chen Father: "That's right. I saved his life six years ago. If I let his daughter protect our son and get through the Secret Realm, I think there shouldn't be a big problem. Coincidentally, both children are in the same year. I'll just put aside my pride and arrange for them to get into the same university."

"Although doing this is a bit like repaying a favor with a favor, for Ye'er, I can only do this."

"Yes, yes, Old Chen, you truly are the man I, Yang Rongzhi, chose. You always have a way!"

Yang Rongzhi said happily: "I saw the video of that child bonding with the hero. She's so beautiful, she's a perfect match for our Ye'er. If the two children develop feelings over time and end up together, that would be even better."

Chen Father: "..."

"Although Ye'er is our son, I have to say, don't daydream. As long as that child doesn't perish prematurely, 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 sweet-mouthed..."

At the staircase.

Hearing this, Chen Ye was filled with emotion.

They say parental love is the most selfless, and it's truly true.

Just now, Chen Father was furious, but for his future, he was still racking his brains and doing his best to create the best future for him.

One could only say, the worries of parents are endless.

"Cough cough!"

Chen Ye pretended to cough and walked out.

Yang Rongzhi and Chen Father turned their heads upon hearing the sound.

Seeing that it was Chen Ye, Chen Father's face immediately stiffened, his eyes filled with anger, looking as if he wanted to whip his unfilial son with a belt.

Seeing this, Chen Ye quickly walked over and apologized:

"Dad, I'm sorry. I was momentarily confused and embarrassed you..."

Chen Father's face was exactly the same as his father's on Earth. Calling him felt natural.

Now Chen Ye could be sure.

This is a parallel world.

The couple in front of me are my parents from another world!

It's just that their destinies are different.

"Hmph!"

Chen Father snorted coldly.

Although he was worried sick about his son, he couldn't lose his fatherly dignity on the surface.

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

But his mother, Yang Rongzhi, wasn't happy.

"Your son already apologized, why are you still sulking?"

After scolding Chen Father, Yang Rongzhi turned to Chen Ye with a look of concern.

"Chen Ye, tell Mom the truth, have you started dating someone, and because your relationship isn't going well, you've given up and chosen to bond with a C-class Hero?"

Chen Ye was stunned.

He admired his mother's ability to jump to conclusions.

After thinking about it, he felt this excuse was pretty good and would save him the trouble of explaining. He remained silent.

Seeing her son's silence, Yang Rongzhi thought she had guessed correctly and said with heartache, "Silly boy, you're still so young, you'll definitely meet a better girl in the future. There's really no need..."

Yang Rongzhi didn't want to say the rest.

What happened had happened, and there was no point in saying more; it would only make her son sad again.

"Mom, I'm fine now," Chen Ye said. "I'm going to the basement to play for a bit. Call me when it's time for dinner."

"Okay, okay, go ahead," Yang Rongzhi agreed repeatedly, her face full of maternal love.

After Chen Ye left, her expression immediately changed. Full of murderous intent, she gritted her teeth and said, "Old Chen, have your people investigate thoroughly for me. I want to see which seductive vixen ruined my son!"

He arrived at the basement.

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

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

"If I remember correctly, the Saitama training method is 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day..."

"With my current body, it's really not easy to complete these exercises."

"I'll take it slow, starting with the 10-kilometer run!"
