Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Fu Zhengting's heart pounded with nervousness as he listened to the dial tone.

He couldn't help but wonder if Mu Tiantian was just as nervous when she called him back then.

Staring at the lit-up screen of his phone, he noticed that Uncle Zhong had saved Mu Tiantian's contact as: "[Future Sweet Boss Lady]".

He was amused by the nickname.

Uncle Zhong is so sure about Mu Tiantian!

He misunderstood Mu Tiantian when he heard those words, but Uncle Zhong always believed in Mu Tiantian.

Seeing Fu Zhengting smile, Uncle Zhong smiled a little embarrassedly and joked, "President, I've always been a staunch supporter of you and Tian Tian as a couple."

Unlike Manager Tan, who claims to admire Mu Tiantian but sides with the president and his ex-wife.

If Manager Tan hadn't called Wen Kerou to pick up the president, Mu Tiantian might have had a chance to explain things to the president while she was at the restaurant.

No one answered the phone.

He also became nervous.

Fu Zhengting felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about the videos Qian Zhikun had sent him earlier.

Could it be that Mu Tiantian has already been moved by one of them, and therefore doesn't want to answer Uncle Zhong's call?

He hung up, then I called again.

Uncle Zhong also frowned.

What exactly is going on with Mu Tiantian?

The protagonist, Mu Tiantian, had already placed her phone on the table. She found the notification sounds too noisy and deliberately put it on silent mode.

I used to look forward to Fu Zhengting's calls and messages, but now we've blocked each other and I no longer expect anyone's calls. I don't care if my phone is on silent anymore.

When Uncle Zhong called, she had just put down her phone and slipped inside while Han Qikai went into the kitchen to wash apples.

After arranging the flowers, Qin Fei turned his back to the table and held up the vase for Jiang Hui to see.

Jiang Hui's attention was focused on the vase Qin Fei was holding, so she didn't notice that someone was calling Mu Tiantian's phone.

When Qin Fei saw Mu Tiantian go into the kitchen, he immediately felt a sense of crisis, thinking about the space where Mu Tiantian and Han Qikai were alone.

He handed the vase to Jiang Hui and told her to take it, saying, "Aunt Jiang, I'm going into the kitchen to wash my hands."

Jiang Hui nodded, took the vase, and glanced towards the kitchen. It seemed that Tian Tian was in for some trouble.

She knew that Sweetie needed some alone time to talk to the two of them, so she didn't get out of bed to go over.

Only when I turned my gaze did I realize that Dean Qian had left the ward at some point.

The ward door was not closed. She stared at the doorway, recalling the first time Tian Tian brought Fu Zhengting to see her, and a loving smile filled her eyes.

I couldn't help but imagine Fu Zhengting appearing at the door.

It would be fun if Ah Ting were here too.

Her sweetness is so endearing, of course she's happy.

However, having too many people and not knowing who to choose is also a very troublesome problem.

Moreover, she believed that Sweetie, like her, was determined to be with A-Ting.

In the kitchen.

Han Qikai mistook one of the two apples for Qin Fei and the other for Fu Zhengting.

I washed it again and again, and even without using a knife to peel it, I could rub the skin off completely.

Fu Zhengting, that old man, finally left Nancheng, and now Qin Fei is causing trouble.

He really wanted to scrub them to death like he was washing an apple!

My mind was already conjuring up images of the two of them battling it out.

Qin Fei was too thin and was no match for him, a sports student.

He knocked Qin Fei unconscious with a single elbow strike.

Although Fu Zhengting was physically strong, he was still a 35-year-old man. After a few moves against him, he strained his back and couldn't stop panting.

In the end, Mu Tiantian can only belong to him!

Just imagining that scene is incredibly exciting; it gets my blood pumping.

His fantasy was so beautiful that he didn't even notice Mu Tiantian coming in and standing behind him.

Then Qin Fei came into the kitchen, but he still didn't notice.

Seeing that Mu Tiantian was staring at Han Qikai, Qin Fei didn't rush to speak, but also looked at Han Qikai.

What is this kid thinking about? He's so engrossed in his thoughts.

Mu Tiantian glanced at Qin Fei standing next to her. Since there were three of them here, she decided to explain things to both of them.

She coughed twice to prompt Han Qikai, "Han, how long are you going to wash? Are you going to wash away all the water from the hospital?"

She didn't know what to call Han Qikai. Han Qikai was younger than her, so calling him "Brother Kai" wasn't appropriate. "Little Brother Kai" was a bit funny, and she couldn't bring herself to say it.

After thinking it over, calling out to Han is the most suitable option.

Hearing the sweet voice of "Classmate Han," Han Qikai finally came to his senses.

He also felt that wasting water was a shameful act, so he quickly turned off the tap.

He was very satisfied with how Mu Tiantian addressed him as "Classmate Han".

It doesn't sound too polite, nor too formal.

He glanced at the apple in his hand; it seemed the red skin had been washed a bit too white.

He smirked, held up the apple to Mu Tiantian, and said, "Mu, I gave this apple a bath. It's all clean now. Here, have a bite."

It's no fun if everyone calls him "Sweetie" and he just follows suit; he needs to be called by a special nickname.

Han and Mu have the vibe of a pair of bickering lovers on a university campus.

Compared to Qin Fei and Fu Zhengting, he and Mu Tiantian are the most compatible!

His gaze towards Mu Tiantian held a newfound obsession.

Mu Tiantian understood Han Qikai's obsessive gaze, and her worries deepened.

It seems that Han Qikai's feelings for her go beyond mere novelty.

It's like an obsession.

In relationships, the most dangerous people are those who are extreme and obsessive.

I must get it; if I can't get it, I'll destroy it.

The worst thing about dating is encountering someone with these two personality traits.

Therefore, she needed to make things clear with Han Qikai.

She had no experience in dealing with relationships; all she knew was that between men and women, if you like someone, you like them, and if you don't, you should never be ambiguous.

She looked at Han Qikai, then at Qin Fei, and first expressed her gratitude to the two of them, "You brought so many things to see my mother. My mother and I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Thank you..."

Even if Qin Fei didn't confess his feelings to her, his actions were so obvious that it would be too fake for her to pretend she didn't know anything.

I really didn't know before that friendships during school years can be very pure.

Now that I'm older and understand, I need to make things clear.

Since she can't give Qin Fei hope, she shouldn't let him have any lingering feelings for her.

Han Qikai had confessed his feelings to her directly, so she needed to make it even clearer.

Upon hearing Mu Tiantian's official tone, Han Qikai knew he was about to be rejected.

Sure enough, the next moment they heard Mu Tiantian say very seriously, "But I hope you won't waste your time on me."

Qin Fei's brows furrowed in anxiety.

Is he going to be rejected before he even confesses his feelings?

Han Qikai already had the answer in his heart, but he still couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Mu Tiantian's eyes flickered slightly. Not wanting to say what was really on her mind, she could only give a tactful reason, "I don't really like boys who are younger than me or the same age as me. None of you are my ideal type."

Qin Fei is a year older than her, so they are considered to be the same age.

Han Qikai noticed the flicker in Mu Tiantian's eyes and realized he had seen through her.

He just couldn't understand it!

He said this with a hint of jealousy, "Sweetie, if you don't like young men, do you prefer an old man like Fu Zhengting?"
