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

Wen Kerou and Fu Zhenlong were both stunned by Fu Zhengting's handsome appearance as he walked out of the restroom.

Completely different from his previous calm and mature demeanor, Fu Zhengting with his buzz cut really has that rugged and wild vibe.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Because I like Fu Zhengting, I think he is handsome no matter what he looks like.

My previously indifferent state of mind is now overwhelmed by an overwhelming surge of love.

Love was rekindled.

She really wants to get back together with Fu Zhengting!

Seeing him safe and sound every day is enough for me.

Fu Zhengting saw Wen Kerou staring at him blankly, as if she was mesmerized.

Awkward and uncomfortable.

He turned his gaze to Fu Zhenlong's face. Ignoring his father would seem cold and impolite, so he politely asked, "Is there something you need?"

I can't call him Dad yet.

Fu Zhenlong smiled somewhat awkwardly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to come in and see what you look like with a buzz cut."

His son's distant yet polite attitude made him feel like he'd been doused with cold water.

His son, after losing his memory, became even colder towards him.

I used to get angry with him.

He was confused, unsure whether it was better for his son to regain his memory or not.

Uncle Zhong, who came out of the restroom afterward, looked at the awkward exchange between the father and son and was somewhat bewildered.

No matter how much she loved Fu Zhengting as her own son, he was still not her biological son.

He hopes that Fu Zhengting can establish a genuine family bond with his biological parents.

But that depends on whether Fu Zhenlong and Xiao Hailan truly recognize their mistakes.

He needs to be observed further.

Only after passing the test will he give the two a chance to reconcile with Fu Zhengting.

He said to Fu Zhenlong, "It's late, Ah Shen needs to rest. Mr. Fu, you should also go back and rest."

After saying that, she ignored Fu Zhenlong, pulled the blanket up for Fu Zhengting, and asked considerately, "Ah Shen, is it cold under this blanket?"

Fu Zhengting enjoyed Uncle Zhong's thoughtfulness. "It's not cold, it's just right."

As Fu Zhenlong watched this scene, he felt a mixture of shame and envy.

He left with a "goodnight" and turned away sadly.

Wen Kerou really wanted to stay and take care of Fu Zhengting, but she couldn't find a reason to stay. She glanced at Fu Zhengting's buzz cut face with reluctance and chased after him to help Fu Zhenlong.

The ward door closed, and silence returned. Fu Zhengting couldn't help but ask Uncle Zhong, "Was my relationship with my father very bad before?"

Uncle Zhong didn't want to lie to Fu Zhengting, but he also didn't want to tell the whole truth. "It's not that. Your father is busy managing the company and doesn't have much time to spend with you, so he asked me to take care of you..."

Fu Zhengting sensed that Uncle Zhong wasn't telling the whole truth, but he didn't press the matter.

If Uncle Zhong is unwilling to explain things to him, then there must be some reason behind it.

You can't get anything out of them by asking.

But I'm still curious about one thing: "What about my mother? Doesn't she have time to spend with me either?"

Uncle Zhong had to tell a lie, "Your mother also worked at the company. It was during the company's peak period, so they were all very busy."

Unable to get any information from him, Fu Zhengting became somewhat discouraged.

I'm too lazy to ask.

He closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The doctor said when he put on the bandage not long ago that he could apply to go home to recuperate after another week.

The bandages have just been removed; we need to observe for a few more days.

"Uncle Zhong, I can get out of bed and walk around by myself now. I don't need anyone to take care of me. You can go back and rest. If you have any problems, I'll ring the call button to find a doctor."

Regardless of whether Uncle Zhong was listening or not, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Uncle Zhong realized that he hadn't spent more than half a month with his wife and daughter.

He cannot neglect his wife and daughters because he is taking care of Fu Zhengting.

A good balance needs to be struck between the two.

"Shen, you should get some rest. If you have any problems, remember to call me. I'm taking a break to go back and spend a few days with my wife and kids."

"Okay." Fu Zhengting had no objections.

Uncle Zhong went out, but before leaving the hospital, he still made a phone call to Anan, asking Anan to come to the hospital to stay with Fu Zhengting.

He only feels at ease when someone is watching over him.

The hospital was quiet at night.

The ward was so quiet that it seemed only his own heartbeat could be heard. Fu Zhengting stared at the ceiling, wide awake.

The ward across the street.

Xiao Hailan took the sweater to the spot inside the doorway and knitted while peeking through the crack in the door at Fu Zhengting's hospital room.

She just saw Uncle Zhong leave.

I really wanted to go in and take a look, but I was afraid my son wasn't asleep yet.

Let's wait until midnight to go in and take a look.

Jiang Hui couldn't bear to see Xiao Hailan like this, and asked, "Alan, should I go in and check for you?"

She also really wanted to take care of her savior.

Xiao Hailan shook her head. "Never mind, to avoid making Ah Shen uncomfortable, I'll sneak in later."

Jiang Hui smiled and said, "Alan, we're acting like thieves."

Xiao Hailan gave a self-deprecating smile. "Of course, who told me to be such a bad mother before? I have to bear the consequences of my own actions."

Jiang Hui patted Xiao Hailan's back reassuringly.

At least her son was on the other side, so Xiao Hailan could see him whenever she wanted.

Sweetie is with her biological parents, and she can't even see her if she wants to.

I wonder if Sweetie is asleep yet.

I've been debating whether or not to make a phone call or send a message.

I'm afraid that calling now will wake Tian Tian.

Actually, what she was really hoping for was for Sweetie to call her.

Xiao Hailan pulled Jiang Hui back onto the sofa. "Hui, let me continue telling you about my life abroad."

The two chatted as they knitted.

*

The notification sounded, and Mu Tiantian, who was looking out the car window, took a long time to react before she came to her senses and picked up her phone to check the message.

Seeing the photos sent by Uncle Zhong instantly made me feel much more energetic.

Uncle Zhong added a message below the photo: "[Tough guy with a buzz cut]"

Mu Tiantian smiled when she saw this nickname.

She zoomed in on the photo.

Uncle Zhong took the photo with the original camera, without any beauty filters. When zoomed in, you can even see the pores clearly.

But perhaps because Fu Zhengting's skin looked great under the lights at night, even with pores, it looked healthy and didn't affect his appearance at all.

Using beauty filters might actually make you look worse.

A tough guy's image requires skin like this to look real.

She had wanted to see what Fu Zhengting looked like with a buzz cut.

Now we can finally see it.

She replied with three tongue-out emojis, then typed: "【Shen Ge with the buzz cut is so incredibly cool!】"

If it weren't for Ling Jieyu in the driver's seat, she would have kissed the phone.

This further solidified her resolve to sneak off to Nancheng to see Fu Zhengting.

To prevent Ling Jieyu from noticing anything amiss, she locked her phone.

However, Ling Jieyu was very perceptive, and he realized something was wrong as soon as she replied to his message.

Ling Jieyu didn't rush to reveal Mu Tiantian's thoughts, and patiently found a place to park.

Getting out of the car, he opened his phone to look at the movies currently showing online and asked Mu Tiantian, "What movie do you want to watch?"
