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

Fu Zhengting returned to the hospital and lay on the hospital bed, scrolling through the trending topics about Mu Tiantian and Ling Jieyu online again. He was in a bad mood, and seeing Mu Tiantian's teasing message made him even more annoyed.

He gave a muttered snort and replied with three question marks.

After waiting for so long, I finally got a reply to his message.

He refrained from making a video call and patiently waited for a response.

Fearing it might be inconvenient for Mu Tiantian, he didn't dare to initiate a video call and could only wait for Mu Tiantian to call him.

Seeing that Fu Zhengting replied so quickly, Mu Tiantian was so excited that she sat up abruptly, leaning against the headboard and typing rapidly on her phone: "Brother Shen, I have eyes that can see a thousand miles away; I can see right through you."

Fu Zhengting twitched the corners of his mouth, finding text chatting quite interesting.

He replied: "Then tell me what I'm doing right now?"

Mu Tiantian grinned mischievously: [Is there even a question? She's definitely thinking of me!]

Naturally, this should be accompanied by a mischievous grin.

When Fu Zhengting saw the sentence "You miss me," the corners of his mouth immediately turned up high.

My mood instantly improved.

He replied, feigning indifference, that he didn't want to.

Mu Tiantian didn't believe it and replied with an "oh" while grimacing.

Then, using her flirting skills, she pressed her advantage and sent him the message, "But I miss you so much."

Fu Zhengting lowered his eyes, raised his hand to his forehead, not wanting to laugh too exaggeratedly.

When Uncle Zhong returned from explaining the situation to the attending physician, he saw Fu Zhengting's expression and knew without a doubt that Fu Zhengting was looking at Mu Tiantian's messages.

Only sweetness can make Ah Shen happy.

Sweetie is Ah Shen's source of joy.

Not wanting to spoil the good atmosphere, he turned around and went out again, closing the door behind him and standing guard outside.

Fu Zhengting laughed for a long time, until his lips became stiff.

Is this the power of love?

He was in a bad mood before he received Mu Tiantian's reply.

Now the dark clouds have parted, and the sky is clear and blue.

He glanced at the closed door; Uncle Zhong really knew his limits.

Since Tian Tian was flirting with him, he naturally couldn't afford to be outdone.

He replied with a rather ambiguous question: "What are you thinking about?"

cough cough cough.

A single sentence from Thunder.

Mu Tiantian felt both amused and ashamed.

When it comes to flirting, Brother Shen is incredibly skilled; he seems to have mastered it without any instruction.

Since Brother Shen wants to flirt with her in a flirtatious way, she'll play along.

She sent a mischievous smiley face, followed by: "What do you think?"

To appear less unrestrained, you also need to add a shy, downcast expression.

Fu Zhengting regretted flirting with her.

Just those two simple, ambiguous sentences in the chat were enough to stir something within me.

He couldn't help but look towards the restroom.

Those images flashed through my mind one after another.

Especially Mu Tiantian turned her head and bit her lip

She watched that scene with a mixture of enjoyment and discomfort.

Just thinking about it makes his blood boil.

The more we can't be together, the more we miss that tender time.

If we were together every day, we might not be as interested.

Actually, thinking about it this way, separating might be beneficial.

It can maintain a sense of novelty.

Even if two people are together every day and don't get tired of each other, the sense of novelty will definitely not be as strong.

However, he couldn't resist being teased. Remembering how uncomfortable he felt in the bathroom during the last video call, having to deal with it himself, he didn't want to continue the conversation.

Are you just awake?

Mu Tiantian was curious about how the man would respond, and was already getting out of bed and into the bathroom to prepare for a passionate chat, when the man came out with such a serious question.

Clearly, Brother Shen was afraid of losing control.

That made her seem too unrestrained.

She pulled the blanket over her head in embarrassment and laughed for a while before replying to the message.

She still ran into the bathroom.

It wasn't for a passionate chat, but to send a voice message to Fu Zhengting about how she had gone to the temple with her father that morning to bribe Master Wukong.

The tap was turned on, and the sound was kept as low as possible with my mouth pressed against the speaker.

I sent it and tried converting it to text; the text is clearer.

Fu Zhengting thought the voice message was too quiet and he couldn't hear it clearly, so he converted it into text and then he understood what was going on.

He was even happier when he learned that Mu Tiantian had managed to get half a month of time.

The frustration in my heart finally disappeared.

He didn't forget to praise Mu Tiantian, saying she was really smart.

To give Fu Zhengting confidence, Mu Tiantian also said some encouraging words and repeatedly assured him that she would not have any physical contact with Ling Jieyu.

Fu Zhengting regained his confidence.

Afraid that her mother would come up and call her again, Mu Tiantian ended her chat with Fu Zhengting, quickly washed her face, and went out.

Fu Zhengting called Anan to ask about the situation.

Anan returned to his rented house and reported the situation truthfully.

Yang Guanghui returned to the village and there has been no further activity for the time being.

Fu Zhengting instructed Anan to continue keeping an eye on things.

He called Uncle Zhong again, and Uncle Zhong went inside.

Uncle Zhong joked, "Shen, did you and Tian Tian finish chatting so quickly?"

Fu Zhengting was a little embarrassed.

There's not much to talk about without video calls.

He asked Uncle Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, are you familiar with Yang Guanghui?"

He felt the investigation was too time-consuming and that it would be difficult to find direct, concrete evidence.

Remembering what his father had said before about arranging a meeting with Yang Guanghui to force him to speak directly, and then recording it, or secretly installing a camera to film it, it would be even better if Qin Dongyang could hear it from the shadows.

He didn't want to look for his father, but if Uncle Zhong could arrange a meeting with Yang Guanghui, then Uncle Zhong would do it.

Uncle Zhong shook his head, puzzled, and asked, "Ah Shen, why do you ask that?"

Fu Zhengting told Uncle Zhong about his thoughts.

Uncle Zhong understood, and he felt both sorry for him and a little amused.

"Ah Shen, if you can't swallow your pride, then let me go talk to your father."

Fu Zhenlong had just come up to talk to Fu Zhengting about this matter. The ward door was not closed, and he was standing at the door. When he heard Uncle Zhong's words, he felt embarrassed and guilty.

He told his son about Xiao Hailan's past indifference towards him, and he still regrets it to this day.

After agonizing over it all morning, I couldn't resist coming up to find my son.

He said he would help his son, and he definitely will.

Only he could get Yang Guanghui to come out of his room.

It's time to settle the old scores cleanly.

He also wanted to ask Yang Guanghui in person to confirm his suspicions.

He pushed open the door and went in. "Ah Shen, don't worry about arranging to meet Yang Guanghui. I'll handle it. I've already gotten his number from the classmates' group."

Fu Zhengting looked at Fu Zhenlong, who had come to the bedside, in shock.

I don't know what I'm feeling; there's resentment, but also gratitude—a mix of emotions.

"Ah Shen, when I told you this, I was thinking that you would regain your memory sooner or later, and I couldn't hide it from you. I might as well tell you that we made a mistake, that we were not good parents, and that we can't avoid it anymore. What I can do now is to try to resolve the conflict with Qin Dongyang as soon as possible, so that you can be with the woman you like as soon as possible." Fu Zhenlong mustered up his courage and said these words from the bottom of his heart.

Fu Zhengting awkwardly turned his gaze away from Fu Zhenlong, but he was deeply moved.

Xiao Hailan packed up the food Jiang Hui had prepared, intending to bring it to the hospital for Uncle Zhong, who would then pass it on to his son.

When they arrived at the ward and heard Fu Zhenlong's words, they were shocked.
