Chapter 105: Showing Off Affection

Zhou Mushi sat on the chair in the hospital’s waiting room. He didn’t know who arranged this room, a luxurious suite with magnificent decorations that didn’t match his father’s heroic temperament, who had just been injured while serving the people.

“Isn’t it better to stick to the virtues of hardship and simplicity?” he thought.

He didn’t insist on his father staying in a room with six people crowded together. A regular single room was fine. The decorations made it easy for him to mistake his father for a middle-aged womanizer who pursued wealth, cheated on his wife, and indulged his nature after half a lifetime of struggle to earn money, making it difficult to imagine him as a wounded hero who risked his life to save the people and penetrated deep into the enemy’s territory.

Moreover, his father didn’t really have the kind of upright and resolute face between his eyebrows.

The men of the Zhou family are all good-looking, the good genes passed down from the previous generation, and they usually looked gentle and kind.

But when it comes to the options of upright and resolute or sophisticated and debauched, the Zhou family is actually more inclined towards the latter.

As Zhou Mushi yawned for the eighteenth time, his father finally woke up from the anesthesia and opened his eyes.

The oxygen mask had been removed, and he could freely scold his son.

“You heartless little brat! Your father almost died, and you were sitting there sleeping!”

Zhou Mushi rubbed his eyes and heard his father’s voice, which sounded energetic enough, so he relaxed.

“The doctor said you have no major injuries, and you didn’t hurt any vital parts. Just take good care of yourself and you’ll be back on your feet in a month.” he replied.

Jin Yang received a call from Zhou Mushi and brought over some food that was suitable for a patient from a familiar restaurant.

When he about to entered the room, Zhou Qingwen was leaning against the bed, and a beautiful policewoman in uniform was using a straw to help him drink water. The two of them were gazing at each other with affection, as if they were in love.

Jin Yang was taken aback. This didn’t seem to match what Mushi had said on the phone.

Didn’t he say that Zhou Qingwen was just playing along with the act, taking the lead, and setting an example as an upstanding person?

The door to the room was wide open, and Jin Yang couldn’t just stand outside without going in, so he knocked on the door and said, “Uncle Zhou, can I come in?”

Zhou Qingwen was lying on the bed, and it was said that he had been stabbed with a knife, but his complexion seemed a bit rosy.

“Jin Yang is here, come in quickly,” Zhou Qingwen said to him. Jin Yang walked in and placed the food box he was carrying on the side.

Just by looking at what someone brings to visit a patient, one can guess the relationship between them. If it was just an ordinary relationship, they would surely bring some beautiful fruit baskets, milk, or something similar. Only family members would bring a food box.

Zhou Qingwen had always liked Jin Yang. He knew Jin Yang’s talents, and he was a kind-hearted and reliable person. With his abilities, Jin Yang could completely leave Yucheng Group and go to a wider world, but he thought of the kindness that Yucheng had shown him, and just by looking at this, he knew that this child wouldn’t go wrong in the future.

“You’ve been busy at work all day, and now you have to come to the hospital. I’m sorry to trouble you,” said Zhou Qingwen.

Jin Yang replied with a smile, “No, not at all. It’s no trouble.”

The policewoman standing beside them was gentle and didn’t say much. When Zhou Qingwen talked to Jin Yang, she smiled and listened with infinite tenderness, making Jin Yang feel a bit uneasy.

After chatting for a while, they finally got to the point. Jin Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Mushi? Why haven’t I seen him?”

Zhou Qingwen pointed to the sofa in frustration and said, “He’s lying on the sofa sleeping. He slept as long as I woke up, so I can’t count on him to serve me filially.”

Jin Yang didn’t want to blame him and instinctively made an excuse for Zhou Mushi, “Maybe he’s too tired from working during the day. He told me that he has a heavy workload these days.”

Zhou Qingwen made a thoughtful “hmm” sound and then glanced at Jin Yang. “If he’s too tired from work, let him rest more when he gets home.”

The implication was clear, without being said aloud.

A young man with a good appearance was made to blush by the old driver’s remarks. And with a police officer present, how could you drive, Father-in-Law?

Jin Yang could only think in his heart but said, “I will take care of all the housework these days, so that Mushi can rest well.”

Zhou Qingwen smiled with relief, “You and Mushi can go back first. There will be… caretakers watching over him at night. They are professionals, so you can rest assured.”

Jin Yang did not refuse, as it was indeed the case. However, if Zhou Mushi wanted to stay with his father in the hospital, he would naturally let him stay. But seeing how lazy the little cat was, he was afraid that he had no such idea.

He walked quickly to the sofa, bent down and gently touched the person who was sleeping soundly.

“Mushi, wake up, let’s go home and sleep.”

The person sleeping in the dream heard a familiar voice and instinctively stretched out their arms to hook around Jin Yang’s neck. They touched him and didn’t want to open their eyes, even wrapping their long legs around him.

With a slightly slurred voice, the sleepy person murmured, “So sleepy~”

Zhou Qingwen and the policewoman blinked and looked over. They watched the sleepy person skillfully wrap themselves around Jin Yang, indicating that they had done this many times before.

Jin Yang was also embarrassed, but unfortunately, Zhou Mushi was not fully awake. He clung to him, burying his cheek in Jin Yang’s neck and rubbing it back and forth like a little cat, showing affection.

But he couldn’t refuse him and had to support his thighs with one hand and his butt with the other.

“Cough, Mushi, wake up. Let’s go downstairs and go back to sleep.”

Zhou Mushi was extremely sleepy and unwilling to listen to him. He shook his head and, based on instinct, randomly kissed Jin Yang’s face before shrinking back into the warm neck nest and falling asleep again.

Jin Yang was not a very open person, and his face was very thin. In their private space, they could behave as they pleased, but now they were in front of Zhou Mushi’s parents. How could they kiss each other like this?

In an instant, his ears turned red and spread to his neck, and he turned as red as a shrimp thrown into boiling water.

Zhou Qingwen was stunned and wiped away tears that didn’t exist. He never expected that his nearly 1.8-meter-tall son would act cute and end up… he couldn’t bear to watch, and the wound hurt!

“You should take him away now.”

As the parent spoke, Jin Yang could only grit his teeth, lift the sleeping person, nodding apologetically, and carry Zhou Mushi out of the ward.

Luckily, this was a hospital, and it wasn’t strange to carry someone on your back. After all, if someone in the family couldn’t walk comfortably due to illness, they had to be carried.
