It was already night when Bai Lishu and others finished watching the show.
The afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the horizon, and the evening breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness.
They had dinner before returning home. Bai Luoqi and Cheng Linfeng had a lot of fun during the day and fell asleep as soon as they got on the spaceship.

Bai Lishu turned on his laptop and saw that it was Bai Yan calling.
After the computer was connected, Bai Yan's face quickly appeared on the screen.
"Dad...he's awake." Bai Yan went straight to the point, his tone calm, yet with a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal.
Bai Lishu's eyes flickered with surprise when he heard this, and he immediately clenched his laptop. "Awake?" he repeated, his tone barely concealing his surprise.
"Yes, he's awake." Bai Yan nodded, a complex emotion surging in his eyes. "Just now, Ace checked on him and confirmed that he has woken up. He is still undergoing further examination."
"We'll go back immediately." Bai Lishu said in a deep voice, his tone revealing both excitement and nervousness.

In the manor, Li Shuheng held his crutches tightly, a smile on his face, as if he felt a lot more relaxed.
"Finally...finally woke up." Li Shuheng's voice was low and slightly choked.
Bai Qinghan stood aside, his hands holding the Buddhist beads trembling uncontrollably, revealing his inner thoughts.
Li Qingzhu was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale, his expression calm, his breathing weak but steady. Ace and others were checking him and confirming that all indicators were normal.
Ace raised his head, looked at Li Shuheng and Bai Qinghan, and said softly, "All data are normal, and the patient's vital signs are gradually returning to normal. The next task is long-term rehabilitation and monitoring."
Li Shuheng nodded slowly, his tone trembling with excitement: "Thank you, Ace."
Bai Qinghan clenched his hands around the Buddhist beads, his throat tightened, and his eyes reddened.
He stood in front of the bed, his eyes slightly red, staring at Li Qingzhu's pale and calm face.
"Don't cry." Li Qingzhu said weakly, and her amber eyes looked at Bai Qinghan gently.
Hearing the familiar voice, Bai Qinghan finally felt it was real.
His lips trembled and he said in a low, hoarse voice, "Azhu."
Bai Qinghan's eyes were moist as if millions of tiny stars were falling. He walked to the bedside with trembling steps, bent down, stretched out his trembling hand, and gently held Li Qingzhu's hand.
"Azhu..." Bai Qinghan called softly, his voice filled with endless tenderness and sadness.
Tears flowed down his cheeks like a broken dam, and dripped onto Li Qingzhu's pale hands.
Li Qingzhu opened his eyes slightly and looked at Bai Qinghan through his hazy vision. He whispered, "Silly boy, why are you crying?" His voice was weak, but full of tenderness and comfort.
Bai Qinghan's shoulders trembled slightly. He raised his hand and gently stroked Li Qingzhu's pale cheek. Tears slid silently down his face and his voice became hoarse: "I... I thought... I would never see you again." His voice was choked with deep sorrow.
Li Qingzhu's mouth curled up slightly. Although his face was pale, there was a faint smile in his eyes. He tried to comfort Bai Qinghan's sadness: "How can I bear to leave you...you and the children...I will be fine."
In fact, he could always hear the sounds outside, even when he was in the hover cabin.
His treasure obviously did not believe in gods, Buddhas, ghosts and monsters, but for him he actually started to believe in Buddhism and pray to God.
"I've always been here, silly." Li Qingzhu said softly, with a hint of comfort in her voice, as if to melt Bai Qinghan's overflowing sadness.
At the beginning, he was seriously injured by his enemy before he could take precautions, but coincidentally, the Biochemical Bureau and Lesos reached a cooperation that day, and he was taken away after being seriously injured.
"I'm sorry, I..."
Bai Qinghan held Li Qingzhu's pale hand tightly, feeling the weak but real warmth, and the sadness in his heart finally slowly dissipated.
He asked softly, "You knew this a long time ago?"
In fact, when he found Li Qingzhu and knew that he was still alive, he had more or less guessed something.
Li Qingzhu smiled slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
"No more talking, just being alive is good." Bai Qinghan didn't dare to ask for anything more.
Bai Qinghan sighed softly, held Li Qingzhu's hand in his palm, feeling the faint but real warmth, and felt very satisfied.
Li Qingzhu gently held Bai Qinghan's hand, her voice like a whisper: "I won't leave, and you don't have to think about it anymore."
After a moment, it was as if he had just seen his father and son, "Father, Xiaoyan."
"Xiao Zhu..." Li Shuheng's voice was low and hoarse, with an unconcealable sob.
Li Qingzhu nodded slightly, a smile on her lips. Although her face was pale, she tried her best to give her father a comforting look.
He whispered, "Father, I'm fine."
Li Shuheng stroked Li Qingzhu's cheek, tears welling in his eyes. He choked up and said, "Father can finally rest assured."
Li Qingzhu was still a little weak after waking up. She leaned on Bai Qinghan and fell asleep in a daze.
In fact, Bai Qinghan missed him, and so did he. Bai Qinghan appeared in countless dreams during his coma.

When Li Qingzhu woke up again, before she could fully open her eyes, she received a bear hug.
"Dad, look at me, look at me, do you still remember me?" Bai Lishu's excited voice exploded in his ears.
"Grandpa Qingzhu, Grandpa Qingzhu, and me!" The other voice was Bai Luoqi.
Li Qingzhu's sight gradually focused. Two faces, one big and one small, appeared in front of him. He pulled the corners of his mouth slightly. Although his face was pale, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"Of course I remember you, my Xiaoshu and my little darling Xiao Pu Tao." Li Qingzhu said softly, her voice gentle and loving.
Bai Lishu's eyes reddened, and he excitedly threw himself into Li Qingzhu's arms: "Dad, it really is you, so great! I almost thought I would never see you again!"
Li Qingzhu gently patted Bai Lishu on the back.
Bai Luoqi looked at his mother and then at Li Qingzhu. He felt that he couldn't be too out of place and wanted to throw himself into Li Qingzhu's arms.
Unfortunately, he overestimated himself. His chubby body could only reach the hospital bed, half a finger away from Li Qingzhu.
Forget it, he won't suffer any humiliation.
Bai Luoqi obediently got up and stood next to Bai Qinghan, silently watching the scene of loving father and filial son.
His mommy cries too.
Now Bai Luoqi felt relieved. If Bai Lishu said he was not strong enough again, he would use today's incident to refute her.
