Chapter 686 Daily Sunbathing
Ten minutes later, Shen Li left the house with Shen Zhijin.
Shen Zhijin pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton.
Ding–
When the elevator door opened, Shen Li looked up and saw a familiar face.
It was another vice president of Xijing University, Zhang Yao.
“Zhijin.”
Zhang Yao first saw Shen Zhijin and greeted him. Then, he noticed Ning Li standing beside him and was momentarily stunned. He smiled and said, “Ning Li? Why are you here?”
“Vice-President Zhang–“
Shen Li had just opened her mouth to speak, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Shen Zhijin.
“Let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Shen Li.”
Shen Li, “…”
Zhang Yao clearly did not understand the meaning of these words. He was completely stunned.
“Wh-what?!”
Shen Zhijin turned his head and lifted his chin slightly.
“Tangtang, please call Uncle Zhang.”
Shen Li coughed lightly. “h.e.l.lo, Uncle Zhang.” Zhang Yao, “???”
It was fine to call him Uncle Zhang, but what was the meaning of the previous sentence?!
Shen Zhijin let Shen Li enter the elevator first. He followed closely behind and pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton under Zhang Yao’s dazed gaze.
The elevator door slowly closed, but Zhang Yao’s rationality had not returned.
He looked at Shen Zhijin and then at Shen Li, almost suspecting that he was hallucinating.
“You, your daughter?!”
When did Shen Zhijin have a daughter?! His daughter was not–
The key was that it was… Ning Li?!
“Yes.” On Shen Zhijin’s handsome and clean face, his expression remained as calm as ever, as if he did not realize how much of a shock his words had caused to Zhang Yao. “The paternity test was just done two days ago.”
Zhang Yao’s eyes widened in shock.
The paternity test was done? Then, that meant that it had been confirmed?!
He quickly looked at Shen Li, his face still carrying a look of shock that had not faded.
Ning Li– no, Shen Li.
The teachers and students at Xijing University had all basically heard about her family background.
How had she become Shen Zhijin’s daughter in the blink of an eye?
Shen Li silently endured his frenzied gaze.
“She just moved here today, so she’ll be staying here from now on,” Shen Zhijin continued.
Zhang Yao’s mind was a mess. He could only rely on his instinctive reaction to nod blankly.
“… Oh, oh…”
As the elevator descended, the enclosed s.p.a.ce became quiet.
Zhang Yao looked at the two people beside him. His gaze swept across their extremely similar brows and eyes. Only then did he gradually realize something.
Shen Zhijin’s daughter was still alive! And it was Shen Li!
Although he did not know what had happened during the time in between the past and now, since Shen Zhijin had already said so, then Shen Li’s ident.i.ty could not be questioned!
After a long while, Zhang Yao could not help but mutter,”No wonder…”
Ding–
The elevator door opened.
Bi Zhitong had just returned from school with his wife. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he had coincidentally b.u.mped into Zhang Yao and the other two.
Hearing Zhang Yao’s words, Bi Zhitong subconsciously asked, “Zhang Yao, what do you mean by that?”
Zhang Yao had already walked out of the elevator, followed by Shen Li and Shen Zhijin.
Seeing Bi Zhitong and his wife’s innocent smiles, Zhang Yao suddenly felt a little sly.
He grinned.
“It’s nothing. I was just talking about Zhijin’s daughter, Ah Li. I felt that the two of them looked very similar a long time ago, but now I know… They’re both father and daughter! Don’t they look alike?”
Shen Zhijin’s daughter?
Bi Zhijin and his wife were both surprised.
The next moment, they saw Shen Zhijin and the person standing beside him–
“Let me introduce my daughter, Shen Li.”
As if seeing their confusion, Shen Zhijin took the initiative to speak.
By now, Shen Li was already experienced, so she immediately called out to him.
“h.e.l.lo, Uncle Bi, h.e.l.lo, Auntie Bi.”
Bi Zhi and his wife, “…”
Seeing their expressions change from bewilderment to shock, and then to disbelief, Zhang Yao’s heart finally felt a little better.
How could he be the only one who was affected by this kind of thing?
He added without hesitation, “Zhijin just got his daughter back. She’ll be staying here in the future too!”
As he spoke, he could not help but click his tongue.
“I wondered why Ah Li had such an outstanding talent in physics. It turns out that she inherited from Zhijin!”
Thinking about it, Shen Li– the top scorer in the National Physics Compet.i.tion and the top scorer in the M province science college entrance examination– was this not the perfect inheritance from Shen Zhijin?
Bi Zhitong was still stunned.
What was going on? It had only been two days, yet a student had become a daughter?!
It was his wife who came back to her senses first.
“I see! That’s great!”
They were all in the physics circle, and they were all colleagues. They all understood Shen Zhijin’s situation.
After being alone for so many years, it was truly a joyous occasion to have suddenly found his daughter.
She looked at Shen Li with excitement and emotion.
“The youngest contributor to Universe… So Zhijin’s record was broken by his own daughter?”
Shen Zhijin’s brows relaxed and a faint smile spread across his face.
Bi Zhitong looked at the father and daughter standing together and finally understood what had happened. He subconsciously asked, “Then, Zhijin, are you going out?”
“No, I’m just going to buy some vegetables,” Shen Zhijin said. “Ah Li said that there are too few ingredients at home so there isn’t much to cook.”
Shen Li, “…”
As soon as he said that, he successfully made the three of them envious.
“Ah Li knows how to cook?”
“The one at our house is twenty-three years old, yet he doesn’t know how to cook anything other than instant noodles.”
“Isn’t that the same at our house? He only knows how to order takeout all day long.”
After patiently listening to all of this, Shen Zhijin said unhurriedly, “Then we’ll go over first. If we’re late, some of these things will probably be sold out.”
The three of them then bid farewell to the father and daughter pair.
Looking at the two figures walking towards the neighborhood supermarket, the three of them could not help but stare at them for quite a while.
It was not until they were out of sight that Zhang Yao suddenly thought of something. “Hmm… that’s not right. Doesn’t Zhijin always go to Fengyuan Road to buy things at a fixed time? Why did he suddenly change his routine today?”
It was already evening. It was the time when the traffic in the residential area was relatively high.
Both Shen Zhijin and Shen Li were very famous in Xijing City. In particular, most of the owners in this residential area were Xijing University employees and family members. They were very familiar with Shen Zhijin. As the two of them walked along the road, they would b.u.mp into acquaintances from time to time.
“Teacher Shen! Where are you going?”
A man who looked to be in his thirties greeted them with a smile.
Shen Zhijin’s voice was clear and clean, with a hint of imperceptible warmth.
“I’m taking Tangtang to the supermarket.”
The man was stunned. “Tangtang?”
Shen zhijin replied with a “Hmm”, and his gaze fell on Shen Li who was beside him.
“This is my daughter.”
Shen Li gave a standard smile to the person who looked completely dumbfounded.
It was only a five-minute walk from Building No. 2 to the neighborhood supermarket. However, it took Shen Zhijin and Shen Li quite a long time.
The people they met on the way all smiled but walked away in a daze.
This situation continued until the father and daughter arrived at the supermarket.
“Ning Li?”
A familiar voice sounded.
Shen Li turned her head and saw Professor fang carrying a vegetable basket in his hand.
“Professor Fang.”
She greeted him.
Professor Fang looked at Shen Zhijin beside her and smiled.
“I noticed that I haven’t seen you lately. You’ve been spending all your time helping Zhijin with his experiments, right?” Shen Li hesitated.
“Professor Fang, this is my father.”
Professor Fang was stunned and looked at Shen Zhijin.
Shen Zhijin nodded slightly. “Professor Fang.” Professor Fang looked left and right and slowly raised his eyebrows.
“Oh?”
