"Okay, take care."

Lu Chen remained indifferent, offering no further words.

Zhao Zhicheng glanced at him, knowing that he thought they had come for Zhao Yujiao, but they hadn't.

This is hard to explain, so many words that were on the tip of my tongue were ultimately swallowed back.

The couple left quietly.

Lu Chen waited until they left for a long time before looking suspiciously at the doorway, surprisingly without mentioning anything...

It's better that he didn't mention it; even if he had, he probably wouldn't have agreed.

Having been through so much, Zhao Zhicheng is a sensible person, as evidenced by his personal reprimand of Zhao Yujiao after learning of her actions. However…

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.

There's definitely something wrong with his health; even if tests don't reveal it, he knows it.

He might not live to see Zhao Yujiao in prison.

He wouldn't live to see that point. His parents would definitely do everything in their power to protect Zhao Yujiao. Even if he were gone, Zhao Zhicheng and his wife would never abandon their own daughter for the sake of a dead man.

Lu Chen went upstairs and lay down on the recliner again.

The afternoon sun was hot, but he felt just right; basking in the sun was very comfortable.

This was the most comfortable day Lu Chen had felt in a while.

But as the sun set, the cold air seeped in everywhere, and he soon felt the chill and began to sweat.

He went downstairs to heat up the chicken soup, but it didn't smell as good as it did in the afternoon, and he didn't have much of an appetite, but he still forced himself to eat it all.

After eating his fill, he went upstairs to sleep. It was too cold at night, so he couldn't sleep on the terrace. He covered himself with a thick quilt and fell asleep quickly.

He dreamed again, and dreamed about Su Tiantian again.

"Hello, Uncle Lu, you look much better today."

Su Tiantian was already used to entering Lu Chen's dream. It was easy for someone with great merit to create a dream; he could probably do it as long as he wanted, but he himself didn't know it.

Hello, Sweetie.

Lu Chen smiled when he saw Su Tiantian.

"Su Tiantian, can you share some happy things with me?"

Lu Chen took the initiative to talk to Su Tiantian. He had never been happy since he was old enough to understand things. He was jealous of other people's happiness, so he didn't want to know. He just felt that Su Tiantian was different and inexplicably wanted to know.

Perhaps there are no real answers in dreams either.

"I have many happy things to do. I like playing in the mud, I like stepping in the sand, I like the sea, and I have a kitten..."

Su Tiantian sat next to Lu Chen and chattered on and on.

She herself was surprised that in just three short years, she had already accumulated so many happy memories.

She is curious, she is mischievous, she is free.

Talking to Lu Chen more will increase his will to survive.

"Uncle Lu, do you have anything good to tell me?"

Su Tiantian looked at Lu Chen and asked.

Lu Chen has accumulated such great merit; he should be respected and have close friends, just like Xing Yuan.

Lu Chen sighed: "I don't have any friends. The things that make me happiest are filming and acting."

Former friends have long since severed ties; he will only bring misfortune to others.

He is a lonely person; he only feels fulfilled when he is acting.

But acting is too short-lived; he only temporarily becomes that character, stealing the character's life.

Su Tiantian sensed Lu Chen's sadness and went up to give him a hug.

The dragon princess's hug has a luck bonus, which will bring Lu Chen continued good fortune tomorrow.

See you tomorrow night.

She came to J City with Liu Xiaohua this time, and it will take them several days to travel by train.

Lu Chen never imagined that his dream would be any different. After waking up from the dream, he couldn't fall back asleep. He felt very cold and couldn't sleep, so he simply went downstairs to eat something.

Tonight is much better than last night; at least I didn't make a mess of cookies everywhere.

He sat in the kitchen, eating slowly, watching the sky outside gradually lighten and become bright.

It was another sunny day. He smiled and went upstairs to the deck chair on the terrace to lie down. The morning sun shone on him, like a natural cotton blanket, dispelling the cold from his body.

Lu Xuelian and Zhao Zhicheng rang the doorbell when they arrived.

Lu Xuelian was a little worried: "It's so late, and he still hasn't gotten up. Could it be that he's feeling unwell?"

It was already past ten o'clock, and the sun was very strong, but Lu Chen didn't come out even after ringing the doorbell. Lu Xuelian was a little worried.

"It's okay, I'll climb over the wall and open the door for you."

Zhao Zhicheng had already figured it out, and today he didn't blush much as he climbed over the courtyard wall to open the door for Lu Xuelian.

"I'll put the things in the kitchen, then we'll go upstairs and take a look."

Lu Xuelian and Zhao Zhicheng went into the kitchen together and put the things away.

She doesn't know why, but she still wanted to come today.

In the morning, the nanny bought two fresh sea bass at the market and asked her how she wanted to eat them. She was absent-minded, so when Zhao Zhicheng said he would come to see Lu Chen again today, she immediately agreed.

They also brought a sea bass, a fresh Qingyuan chicken, and tender, bright green water spinach, which is best stir-fried with minced garlic at this time of year.

On the way here, I had already decided what to do: make braised chicken with tender Qingyuan chicken, and steam one sea bass and make sea bass porridge.

The couple went upstairs together and found Lu Chen on the terrace, but Lu Chen was radiating cold air under the sun.

"Old Zhao, this child..."

Lu Xuelian's heart tightened.

Zhao Zhicheng walked over to Lu Chen, touched his forehead, and said, "It's okay. He's probably just cold-sensitive. Let him get some sun to warm up. I saw you bought ginger, let's make him a ginger sachet to put on his feet. Anyway, he can sleep, so we can cook slowly."

Lu Xuelian nodded: "Okay."

Under such a bright sun, most people would get sunburned, but Lu Chen wouldn't. The sun felt comfortable to him, and he even smiled while sleeping.

"Old Zhao, let's come again tomorrow. This child isn't feeling well. Let's take care of him until he's better."

Lu Xuelian told Zhao Zhicheng that she had been worried since she went back yesterday, and seeing Lu Chen today made her even more worried.

With Zhao Yujiao as an excuse, it's fine for her to come.

Zhao Zhicheng nodded.

For some reason, he always felt very strange. Lu Chen's health was so poor, why didn't Lu Chen and his wife care at all?

"Is Lu Chen really their biological son? The child is in such a state, and no one has come to check on him."

Lu Xuelian muttered something.

Zhao Zhicheng also sighed. He had also suspected that Lu Chen was not the biological son of the Lu family, because Lu Chen was not like them. However, Lu Yuanshan and Lin Xianghua did not have any other children. Lu Chen was an only child, so there would be no other children to compete for any benefits.

There's only one child, so whatever his parents have will ultimately belong to him, naturally eliminating the possibility that he's not their biological son.

Moreover, it is said that Lu Chen even had his blood drawn to check his blood type, and it turns out that his blood type is compatible with the conditions for Lu Yuanshan and Lin Xianghua to have a child.

"He drank all the leftover chicken soup from yesterday last night. It seems he likes my cooking, not like..."

Lu Xuelian didn't find the leftover chicken soup from yesterday, but she did see the remains of the trash can. She smiled, but then her smile disappeared as she thought of Zhao Yujiao.
