After completing all the discharge procedures, Zhong Tingyue smiled and said to the attending physician, "Doctor, thank you for your help these past few days."

"No, it's nothing." The attending physician's smile was calm, but he knew how much painful regret it contained. "A doctor's heart is full of compassion."

Seeing Chu Fang and his group get into the car and leave, the attending physician slapped himself: "You're just too thin-skinned your whole life, no wonder you'll never make a fortune!"

The attending physician sighed: "This is how my life is going to be."

He put his hands in his pockets, raised an eyebrow, and then took out a check with a sum of money on it, which he could withdraw at the bank at any time.

The attending physician recalled that Chu Fang had borrowed his white coat to take a few photos earlier.

"Hiss... Rich people really have a big vision."

... ...

Chu Fang didn't think giving doctors extra income was a legitimate practice, but... he had more money than he could spend, so it didn't matter to him; he considered it a form of consumption that contributed to society.

Zhong Ping was discharged from the hospital, and then the group returned to the Tanhua residential area.

"Finally away from that damn hospital." Zhong Ping was in a particularly good mood. When he saw the security guard, he greeted him with a smile, "Brother, it's been a long time. You're still as healthy as ever."

"What's wrong, buddy?" the security guard asked.

"Hey, it's nothing, I almost lost my life." Zhong Ping was spirited and fearless.

... ...

Back home, to celebrate Zhong Ping's discharge from the hospital, everyone worked together to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Night fell.

Chu Fang, Zhong Tingyue, Zhong Rou, Zhong Ping, Gao Ruoyun, Yang Meina, and Liu Xia sat around eating.

"The situation was so critical; the stone was about to hit everyone, and the consequences would have been unimaginable. In that critical moment, I rushed forward and lifted the stone, saving everyone's safety..."

At the dinner table, Zhong Ping was the type of person who forgot the pain before the wounds had even healed, and he boasted about his experience of being injured.

But that's not actually the case.

The incident was captured on CCTV footage. At the time, Zhong Ping wasn't running fast enough and hit his leg. Only Chu Fang, Zhong Tingyue, and Gao Ruoyun knew about it.

Zhong Rou's eyes sparkled: "Dad, you're amazing!"

"That's right!"

"Have you practiced some kind of protective magic? Teach me, please!"

"Teach you?" Zhong Ping thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, I only pass on this protective divine skill to men, not women."

"Dad, I'm never playing with you again!" Zhong Rou pointed angrily at her father.

Chu Fang found it quite amusing to watch the father and daughter bickering.

Yang Meina spoke first: "Chu Fang."

"Um."

“I’m planning to buy a house these days. You know a lot about this, so come with me to take a look and give me some advice,” Yang Meina said.

"Planning to buy a house?" Chu Fang raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Yang Meina nodded. "My mother is here just in time."

"Oh~" Chu Fang understood, "I'm not going."

Yang Meina usually causes him trouble, but now she's asking him for help, so he's not going to agree to it so easily.

"You..." Yang Meina stopped abruptly as soon as she finished speaking, "What do you want?"

Chu Fang: "Three kneelings and nine kowtows!"

In desperation, Yang Meina turned to Zhong Tingyue for help: "Yuanyue, look at Chu Fang, he's bullying me."

Zhong Tingyue smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, could you please help Nana?"

"Zhong Tingyue, you shameless bastard! You're using me to curry favor with your childhood friend! You're a rare breed!"

Gao Ruoyun and Liu Xia watched from the sidelines. The small dining table had become two battlefields. They looked at each other and then smiled.

... ...

As night deepened, Chu Fang arranged a time to view the apartment with Yang Meina, and the mother and daughter then left.

He turned around and saw his sister-in-law clenching her fists, practicing the "Zhong-style Eight Fists" technique, accompanied by "hum hum ha hey" sounds, her body leaning to one side, as if she was about to fall to the ground at any moment.

"Monster, prepare to die!"

The sister-in-law aimed her fist at the wall and threw a punch: "Ouch!"

"You brat, that's a wall." Gao Ruoyun quickly hugged her daughter, soothing her injured fist. Suddenly, she heard her husband's laughter and glared at Zhong Ping. "You still have the nerve to laugh? If you hadn't allowed our daughter to drink, would she be this drunk?"

Yes, my sister-in-law drank tonight. Her face was flushed, and she was practicing "Zhong-style Eight Fists" without any sense of direction.

Zhong Ping: "I was just kidding. Who knew Xiao Rou would drink my wine in one gulp? And how was I supposed to know she had such a low alcohol tolerance? She got drunk after just one glass."

"monster!"

Just as Gao Ruoyun was about to angrily berate her husband, Zhong Rou, who was nestled in her arms, woke up and punched Gao Ruoyun in the face.

Gao Ruoyun's lips twitched: "... ..."

Sometimes I really regret having a second child.

What is this thing?

Even more powerful than Nezha.

At night, Zhong Tingyue took care of her younger sister while chatting with Chu Fang.

[Solo Dating Player: Ms. Zhong]

[Wang Shu: Hmm.]

[Solo player in a dating game: No offense, I just wanted to see the bear.]

[Solo Queue Player in Love: Serious Face.JpG]

[Wang Shu: Bear.JpG]

[Solo player in dating: ... ...]

[Wang Shu: Want to see?]

[Solo player specializing in dating: Yes.]

[Wang Shu: Let's play Connect Four. If you win, you can decide the reward.]

[Solo player in a dating game: Looks like you're planning something big, and I certainly am planning something big too.]

[Solo Dating Player: Come on!]

Half an hour passed, and Chu Fang hadn't won a single game. Frustrated, he exclaimed, "This woman is too good at Go!"

He almost never won against Zhong Tingyue when playing Gomoku.

"No, I need to use nitrogen, no, I need to use technology." Then Chu Fang began to use AI to help him fight against Zhong Tingyue.

As it turns out, humans can't compete with AI.

Chu Fang won.

Click~

The bedroom door swung open, and a delicate body nestled into Chu Fang's arms: "Mr. Chu, you cheated."

"Cheating?" Chu Fang shook his head, disagreeing. "That was a simulator!"

How can using an emulator be considered cheating?

Just like the 'wallhack' in shooting games, that's a 'minor cheat', not an external cheat!

The two should not be confused.

Zhong Tingyue simply smiled in response.

After an unknown amount of time, the sounds in the room gradually subsided. Zhong Tingyue, holding Chu Fang, asked, "Mr. Chu, what are you looking at?"

Chu Fang gazed at the bright moon outside: "Humanity's tomorrow, the universe's future—if one day the universe expands at a rate slower than the speed of light, does that mean the universe has reached its end? What will become of humanity? What lies beyond the universe? Is it another universe?"

"Mr. Chu, you are amazing."

"You don't need to tell me how capable I am," Chu Fang nodded.

The two chatted idly, talking about the universe, the vast starry sky, and whether there were other races. As they talked, Zhong Tingyue felt a pair of evil hands.

Weren't you just worried about the future of humanity?

"Yes," Chu Fang replied readily. "Just now was just now, and now is now."

The CD is over; he can't be bothered to care about the future of humanity.

At that moment, his mind was filled with hormones.

A man and a beautiful woman are discussing profound philosophy; either they're waiting for the CD to be released, or... the drug hasn't taken effect yet.

There is absolutely no third possibility!

Zhong Tingyue put on her nightgown, kissed Chu Fang, and then left the room.

Unfortunately, as soon as the door opened, the door to the room opposite also opened, and Gao Ruoyun came out. The two women stared at each other.

Zhong Tingyue scratched her charming face: "Mother, come out and look at the moon too."

Gao Ruoyun rolled her eyes at her eldest daughter, then went into the bathroom, while Zhong Tingyue tiptoed back to the bedroom.

Just as she crawled into bed, Zhong Rou, still asleep, punched her: "You monster, take this punch!"

[Wang Shu: It's all your fault, my mother found out.]

[Solo player in a dating game: You think your mom doesn't know?]

[Wang Shu: I don't care, it's your fault anyway, you have to compensate me.]

Zhong Tingyue was, after all, a woman, and had the characteristics of a woman being unreasonable.

[Solo player in a dating game: I'll stay with you for one night, okay?]

Wang Shu: ... ...
