Chapter 73 Not Worth It
Chapter 73 Not Worth It
Shen Feng's voice entered their ears.
Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng immediately came back to their senses.
They had moved away from the mountain area they originally lived in because Zhang Xuezheng was overwhelmed with sadness every day.
With no other solutions, Shen Anmin could only take Zhang Xuezheng out of the mountains, hoping to find a new place to lessen his wife's sorrow, but as an honest farmer, wasn't he also overwhelmed with grief? He just kept his sadness hidden in his heart.
Zhang Xuezheng rushed to Shen Feng in a fluster, extending her hand to touch his face. Her arm trembled slightly, fearing that what was in front of her was an illusion, as such illusions had appeared more than once before.
Only after she truly touched Shen Feng's face did she embrace him tightly, her eyes instantly moistening, her voice trembling with excitement, "Feng? Is it really you? Is it really you? I knew you would be fine, I've always believed you would be fine, now that you're back, that's all that matters!"
"What are you apologizing for, child? Do we need to be so formal with each other?"
Shen Anmin said to the customers who had come for breakfast, "Dear friends, sorry, but we have to close early today."
All the customers present were regulars, and they sensed that something was up. Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng were always kind, so of course, the customers had no complaints. Those waiting to eat found other places to go, while those already eating sped up their pace.
Shen Feng, embraced by Zhang Xuezheng, couldn't help but frown slightly.
Theoretically, with his current abilities, he should be able to sense the connection of bloodlines, yet he felt no such connection with Zhang Xuezheng.
His previous calculations had relied solely on aura and did not require the connection of bloodlines.
There was only one possibility, he was not the biological son of Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng.
Immediately, he let go of his concerns. What did the lack of a blood connection matter? In this life, Shen Anmin was his only father, and Zhang Xuezheng was his only mother.
After a thousand years in the Immortal Realm, his mindset had changed significantly, and he was no longer that naive young man.
Casting aside his thoughts, Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng had raised him with hardship and never shown any inconsistencies. In their eyes, Shen Feng was unequivocally their biological son.
After a long embrace, Zhang Xuezheng finally let go, examining Shen Feng carefully, "Feng, where did you go back then? We couldn't find you no matter how hard we looked."
Therefore,
when Tang Kexin was filling out her college application in high school, she applied to Tianhai Medical University. She wanted to attend the same university as her unseen brother, wanting to make him proud.
Shen Feng's story had widely spread around Tianhai Medical University; he was a laughingstock everyone enjoyed talking about, and even now, people still mentioned it.
Every time Tang Kexin heard someone belittle Shen Feng, she would confront them without hesitation. Now, many people knew she was the sister of that ridiculed boy, and even many of her classmates didn't want to be friends with her.
Shen Feng looked at the adopted sister before him.
He felt no dislike toward Tang Kexin; after all, she had filled a void in Shen Anmin's and Zhang Xuezheng's hearts.
Shen Feng smiled, "It was completely an accident back then; I didn't seek death because of that woman. She truly wasn't worth it."
Tang Kexin, thinking men needed to save face, assumed Shen Feng was too embarrassed to admit it, so she went to learn about Qin Xuewei on her own.
After all, being a student of Tianhai Medical University herself, even though Qin Xuewei had graduated, it wasn't difficult for Tang Kexin to uncover some information about her.
Qin Xuewei had indeed been the proud daughter of the heavens back then. Although Tang Kexin was reluctant to admit it, she knew it was true.
In almost every aspect, Qin Xuewei strived for perfection.
Yet such a favored daughter of the heavens had so heartlessly trampled on Shen Feng's dignity.
To this day, Qin Xuewei was still mentioned; she had once been a significant figure in the school, and consequently, the incident involving Shen Feng had not been forgotten either.
Tang Kexin bit her lip and said, "If, if you truly can't find a girlfriend in the future, then I can marry you."
"You don't have to feel sad because of women who trample on your dignity anymore."
Perhaps it was to repay the kindness of Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng, or perhaps she also detested the kind of haughty woman Qin Xuewei was—that sentence had slipped out unconsciously from her lips.
The light in Shen Anmin's and Zhang Xuezheng's eyes brightened at Tang Kexin's words, and they actually felt that her idea might be workable; however, they also knew that matters of the heart had to take their natural course.
