Chapter 757

"Sister Ruan Mei, this set of data needs to be recalibrated." Xueying suddenly spoke, her voice ending in a broken tone.

When she turned around, she knocked over the reagent bottle, and the light blue liquid flowed like a river on the metal floor, reflecting her hurriedly fleeing reflection.

Lin Yu subconsciously wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Ruan Mei.

"Don't chase her." Ruan Mei pushed up the screen, and a stream of data flashed across it. "The thoughts of adolescent girls... are more complicated than data."

She pulled up Xueying's experimental diary from the past three years. On the latest page, the word "father" was repeatedly written in red pen and then roughly crossed out.

"Since you left, she has been pouring all her emotions into her research. Until she detected your energy fluctuations yesterday, her adrenaline secretion..."

"That's why she..." Lin Yu looked at the direction where Xueying disappeared, and suddenly remembered the temperature of her palm when he touched it just now.

There were hurried footsteps at the end of the corridor, and Lin Ruan rushed in with a toolbox in her arms, with fluorescent paint from somewhere still on the ends of her hair.

"Dad! Sister Xueying said she wants to optimize the shield! Let's go first!" She shook the blueprint in her arms, not noticing the two people's hesitant expressions, and reached out to grab the corner of her father's clothes, "I have marked the best route for stargazing!"

"I'll go talk to her. I'm her father and we shouldn't be so far apart." The three years of missed time, the confusion and struggles of his daughter's growth, now turned into a heavy responsibility weighing on his heart.

"Xiao Ruan, stay with Ruan Mei for a while. I'll go see Xueying."

"Oh... then hurry up, Dad! Mom and I will check the spaceship to make it super safe!" She waved her fist at Lin Yu, turned and ran to the workbench, muttering that she wanted to upgrade the anti-gravity skateboard.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and walked along the corridor to Lin Xueying's laboratory.

The hatch was tightly closed, with a faint blue light shining through the crack and the sound of components colliding faintly heard.

He raised his hand to knock on the door, but stopped in mid-air.

Memories suddenly came flooding back, and I remembered that when Xueying was a child, she would always crawl into his arms and call "Dad" in a soft voice when she was afraid of thunder.

At this moment, a suppressed sigh came from inside the door, followed by the sound of shuffling papers.

Lin Yu finally knocked on the cabin door, "Xueying? It's Dad."

It suddenly became quiet inside, and after a long time, the sound of footsteps could be heard.

The cabin door slowly opened, and Lin Xueying stood in the shadow, with her white coat buttoned to the top, covering her red neck.

"What are you doing here?" She turned her face away, but couldn't hide her slightly trembling eyelashes.

Lin Yu walked into the laboratory and glanced at the drawings spread out on the table.

It was densely marked with optimization plans for the shield, and crumpled draft papers were scattered in the corners, with crooked stick drawings on each piece of paper.

His heart suddenly tightened, "Xueying, can we talk? Just like when you were little."

Lin Xueying's body froze, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the laboratory table, "I'm not a child anymore." Her voice was very soft, with a stubborn tremor.

"In daddy's eyes, you will always be my little baby." Lin Yu reached out to touch her shoulder, but saw the girl take a half step back as if by reflex.

His hand was suspended in the air, and finally landed gently on the top of her head. "These three years... it's Dad's fault, but now, I want to make up for the time I missed."

Lin Xueying's eyes suddenly turned red and misty, "You don't know anything..." Her voice choked, "I... I thought you didn't want us anymore..."

"How could it be?" Lin Yu gently embraced his daughter's trembling body, feeling her suppressed sobs on his shoulders, "I'm sorry, Daddy is back late. From now on, Daddy will always be by your side and listen to all your worries."

Lin Xueying's body trembled violently in her father's arms, and her shoulders under the white coat shook violently.

She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to suppress her uncontrollable sobs, but when Lin Yu stroked her back with his palm, she was completely defeated.

"You don't understand at all!" Xueying suddenly raised her head, her eyes red, "Other children have their fathers to teach them, but I can't even see your holographic image clearly!"

She beat Lin Yu's chest, but her strength was so soft that it seemed like she was acting coquettishly. "Sister Ruan Mei said that you were trapped in the tree of imaginary numbers. I cried secretly in the laboratory every day, and I didn't dare let my mother and Xiao Ruan see it..."

"They all said I wasn't human!"

These words hit Lin Yu's heart like a heavy hammer, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

The golden lines spread wildly along the blood vessels, as if angry about what happened to his daughter.

He hugged the trembling Xueying tightly, and said in a low but firm voice, "Don't listen to their nonsense! In Daddy's heart, you will always be the most precious baby, a one-of-a-kind existence!"

"But...but my body..." Xueying choked, "My growth rate is different from others. I will always stay like this. Even my heartbeat rate is different from that of normal humans..."

Memories came flooding back like a tide: the strange looks from the unfamiliar researchers in the space station, the whispered discussions behind her back, every scene pierced her heart like a sharp blade.

Lin Yu held Xueying's face, gently wiped away the tears on her face with his fingertips, and stared at her with burning eyes.

"It's not your fault, Xueying. Your specialness is the most amazing gift mom and dad have given to the world."

He pressed Xueying's hand against his chest, feeling the resonance of each other's heartbeats, which scared Xueying.

"You see, our blood is closely connected. This is the most powerful proof."

Xueying's lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but her words were blocked by sobs.

Lin Yu hugged her again, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said gently, "If anyone dares to say this again in the future, Dad will be the first to disagree. You don't have to change to please others, just be the most authentic yourself."

"Really...is it okay?" Xueying's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but after Lin Yu nodded firmly, she finally burst into tears.

The emotions that had been suppressed for too long were completely released in the warm embrace of his father.

Outside the door, Lin Ruan had been standing there with red eyes.

Liuying gently put her arms around Lin Ruan's shoulders and looked at Ruan Mei, tears welling up in both of their eyes.

Lin Yu looked at Xueying's red ears and suddenly realized that his daughter's shyness was not only due to unfamiliarity, but also due to her helplessness about her own changes.

He pulled the lab chair closer and sat down. He tapped the table with his fingertips to bring up the holographic anatomical atlas and said gently, "Xueying, Dad knows what you are worried about. According to Ruan Mei's records, although your physical development stagnated at the age of 18, the changes in your physiological functions are the same as those of people of the same age."

Xueying turned her face away abruptly, and her earlobes under her white coat almost felt like they were burning.

"I...I don't need you to say this!" Her fingers trembled slightly, but she couldn't help but steal a glance at the dancing human model on the holographic screen.
