Seeing his stepfather's reaction, Zhou Yuanchao felt it inappropriate to let him go back.

At night, Zhou Yuanchao was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep. His stepfather, Amur, felt sorry for him and called a nurse, who said it was normal pain.

“Abu, I’m fine, I can bear it.” Zhou Yuanchao comforted his stepfather instead. This honest and kind man had taught him to be strong, and he could endure it.

Amur felt sorry for him and whispered, "Yuanchao, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Abu is here with you. You'll get through this. When I was little, I was bitten by a wolf. It hurt a lot, and I couldn't sleep at night. My mother sang to me. Can I sing for you too?"

"Okay, sure." Zhou Yuanchao nodded. "But keep your voice down, there are other patients next door."

Seeing that his stepson liked it, Amur nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep my voice down..."

Then Amur began to sing a gentle, melodious song...

Zhou Yuanchao had heard this tune before; it had accompanied him through many days and nights during his childhood.

Such a melody seemed to cleanse the soul and alleviate pain, and with a smile on my face, I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Amur only stopped when his stepson fell asleep, covered him with a blanket, and then lay down on the empty bed next to him.

Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian stood at the door for a while, but did not go in.

They heard Amur's voice and thought something had happened to Zhou Yuanchao, but when they came over and asked the nurse, she said he was fine. At the same time, they heard singing coming from inside, so they didn't go in.

He didn't want to break the strong bond between father and son.

Back in the room, He Tiantian said softly, "He's lucky to have such a stepfather, which is why Zhou Yuanchao has such a good personality."

“Yes, they’re not blood-related, but they’re even closer than blood-related,” Huo Yingjie said. “I’ll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so I’ll leave Xie Wu here to take care of Yuanchao. I’ll recuperate at home and won’t need two people to protect me.”

"Okay," Huo Yingjie said. "By the way, Tiantian, are you about to start your vacation?"

He Tiantian helped Huo Yingjie lie down, kissed his forehead, and said, "Yes, the exam is the day after tomorrow, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I'll take the test papers home to grade them, submit the results, and then I can have a holiday. I'll stay home and spend time with you."

"You're so kind." Huo Yingjie pulled He Tiantian's hand and kissed it. "This incident has made me realize a lot of things. I can't just take things as they come like before. I also have more power, so that others won't dare to touch me or my family and friends."

“Okay, whatever decision you make, I will support you.” He Tiantian smiled. “You are still the all-powerful Yingjie brother in my heart. As long as you want to do something, you can definitely accomplish it.”

"Thank you." Huo Yingjie smiled and lifted the blanket beside him. "Come on, this way."

"No, it wouldn't be good if I pressed down on you." He Tiantian shook her head. "There's another bed next to me, I'd better sleep on that one."

"Are you really not coming?" Huo Yingjie asked, sounding aggrieved. "I miss you..."

"This is a hospital, you can't just do whatever you want here," He Tiantian said, blushing. "It's getting late, go to sleep."

"Actually, I don't want to do anything else, I just want to hug you..."

"Nobody would believe that..." He Tiantian said with her back to Huo Yingjie, "Go to sleep!"

Even after all this, you still won't behave!

There is nothing better than a wife who knows her husband!

Huo Yingjie definitely wanted to do something bad!

The next day, Huo Yingjie was discharged from the hospital and asked Xie Wu to take care of Zhou Yuanchao.

"We'll leave Xie Wu to you in Yuanchao; he'll take care of you," Huo Yingjie said in a deep voice. "Get some rest; I hope to see you at home for the New Year!"

“I will, boss,” Zhou Yuanchao said with a smile. “I’ve always been in good health.”

“Uncle Amur, you can talk to Xie Wu if you have something to say,” Huo Yingjie said, bowing to the old man.

Amur smiled憨厚ly and said, "I originally wanted to make roast whole lamb, but I can't now. I'll definitely make it next year when I have time."

"Thank you, Uncle," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "We'll talk about everything after the Korean War is over. Then we'll have a bonfire party."

"Mmm." Amur liked Huo Yingjie very much and patted Huo Yingjie on the shoulder. "It's an honor for Yuanchao to have a brother like you."

"Uncle, you flatter me." Huo Yingjie said modestly, "It is my honor to have a brother like Yuanchao. I am truly blessed! As long as I am here, I will protect him and not let anyone bully him."

"Thank you." Amur learned from his stepson that his elder brother was a son of a meritorious official, a genius, a loyal friend, and someone worth befriending.

In a lifetime, you don't need many friends, but one true friend is enough.

Huo Yingjie was discharged from the hospital. Zhang Ning drove, and He Tiantian helped him into the car.

When they arrived home, He Tiantian helped Huo Yingjie out of the car.

Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo all came to the courtyard, along with Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin. They hadn't seen their father for several days and thought he had gone on a long trip.

Now I see my father has come home, but he is being helped by my mother.

Seeing the two little round balls running over, He Tiantian quickly said, "Daddy is sick and can't hold you and fly around for the time being. Daddy will take you and fly around when he gets better, okay?"

Huo Ruimin and Huo Ruihua stopped not far from their father, their big eyes looking at him as he leaned on his cane.

"Okay, Dad, where do you feel unwell?" Huo Ruimin asked, wanting to comfort her father but not knowing how, her brows furrowed tightly.

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Dad accidentally fell and his leg hurts. It will be better in a while, and then Dad will carry Ruimin and Ruihua again."

"Oh." Huo Ruimin nodded. "Dad must not have seen the road and fell. Does it hurt? Why are you making such a fuss, Ruimin?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Huo Yingjie smiled. "It's cold outside, shall we go inside first?"

Huo Ruihua stepped forward and helped his father, saying, "Dad, let me help you."

"Okay!" Huo Yingjie smiled.

The family entered the house, and He Tiantian helped Huo Yingjie change into his winter pajamas and sit down in a chair.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, Yingjie, Uncle, Aunt, please have a seat. I'll go check the kitchen." He Tiantian smiled. With so many people coming to the house today, the kitchen should prepare a lot of food.

Fortunately, when winter came, Mr. and Mrs. Guo saw that there was less housework, so they started helping with cooking.

Guo's cooking skills are quite good. During this time, we are very grateful to them for helping Grandma Wang take care of the children.

"Yingjie, now that the results are out, do you understand some things?" Old Master Huo asked, hoping his grandson could understand that being in this position doesn't mean you can stay out of it just because you don't strive for fame or fortune.

Huo Yingjie nodded and said seriously, "I understand, Grandfather. Only by becoming strong can we inspire fear, so I must become stronger."
