Chapter 75: Like a Flower, Blooming Quietly (1/2)

When Xu Cheng saw four skeletons coming closer to him, he almost wasn’t sure whether he was dreaming or not, but the pain in his abdominal area confirmed that this was real.

Hearing the voice, he knew it was Lin Lei. He closed his eyes so he didn’t have to see the ridiculous scene. He just wanted to know right now what was going on with his eyes.

Maybe only those dead research scientists from that lab could explain that this is actually a potential ability that was unlocked!

Earlier, his eyes already had the ability to accurately capture details of images, but this full-on fight worked his brain and eyes to the limit as he tried to lock onto over a hundred dudes, causing his eyes to actually mutate.

Actually, it should be said that they sublimated.

From the initial stage of quickly capturing details to the penetrating vision on objects, in other words, he could now see through all objects, including metal and flesh.

“Water, I’m thirsty,” Xu Cheng said weakly.

After Lin Lei handed the water to Xu Cheng, he didn’t drink immediately but actually poured it onto his hand as he carefully rubbed his eyes. After his eyes got hydrated, he felt much more comfortable. Once he opened his eyes again, he saw the whole Lin Family looking at him caringly.

“Mom, Dad, you guys are here too,” he greeted the Lin Guiren couple.

Lin Guiren sat by his bed, patted his shoulder, and said gratifiedly, “Good job, you didn’t embarrass your dad. I didn’t expect you to join the military after you came back to the country.”

“My dad’s a soldier, I need to be like him,” Xu Cheng replied.

Lin Guiren seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed the words. After saying something to his wife, Mommy Lin brought Lin Chuxue and Lin Lei out of the room.

Xu Cheng was quite curious as to what Lin Guiren was going to say to him.

Lin Guiren sighed. “Before your dad died, he told me to raise you up and get you to live a safe and happy life. Cheng, do you know why I had my daughter marry you? I don’t mean anything else. You know as well, Chuxue’s very pretty and has a lot of suitors with lots of power and influence, so whoever ends up with Lin Chuxue will receive a lot of pressure from the others that courted Chuxue. Firstly, I hoped that you marrying my beautiful and brilliant daughter could inspire yourself to work harder, so that you could take good care of her, and give her happiness and a sense of security; secondly, I also don’t want Brother Xu’s family line to end with you, knowing that you wouldn’t be interested in marriage at all ever since your father passed away. I really hoped that you and Lin Chuxue could live a stable and happy life, but I didn’t expect that you would join the military, nor expect to hear about you being in a deathmatch with someone.”

Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. “Dad, I also tried to convince myself. Frankly, I wanted to just live my life ordinarily too and escape all the pain, but whenever I thought of my dad, I will be reminded of the mother that I never met. I just wanted to find an answer, or, just tell her, that my dad died, and ask if she could go to his grave and see him. She doesn’t know how much my dad misses her. However, that was just a part of the reason. To be honest, the biggest motivation for what I did came from Chuxue.”
