The VIP ward has special beds for accompanying patients. Fu Jingnian insisted on staying no matter what. In the end, he simply asked someone to send him some spare clothes, midnight snacks, and a PS5 console, and then he took Lu Jinzhao to play as a pair.

The two main characters in the game are a couple. Fu Jingnian asked Lu Jinzhao to choose first. He opened a can of beer and drank while operating the controller. He kept mumbling: "This opening animation is quite long."

"Oh, so the little girl doesn't want her parents to divorce..."

"This book is actually written by a doctor, and it has a lot to say."

"Wow, the fuse can grow legs and run..."

"It's so funny, he actually knocked over a glass bottle and covered himself."

"Why are not you talking?"

Chitose: “I think there’s something wrong with this guy.”

Lu Jinzhao said slowly: "You have already finished speaking, what should I say?"

Fu Jingnian: “…”

Halfway through the game, Fu Jingnian drank several halls of beer by himself, and was drunk, his face flushed. He tilted his head to look at Lu Jinzhao, his heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of his chest. The alcohol made him bolder, and he hesitated to speak: "Well, actually..."

Lu Jinzhao glanced over: "Hmm?"

Fu Jingnian put down the controller, as if mustering up his courage, closed his eyes and shouted: "Actually, I like you——"

The sound effect of the main character's death was heard in the game.

Fu Jingnian waited for a long time, but there was no movement from the other side. He opened one eye in confusion: "Hey, give me some reaction!"

"Sorry." Lu Jinchao took out a can of spray from somewhere and sprayed Fu Jingnian's face.

Fu Jingnian lost consciousness and fell on the accompanying bed before he could react. Lu Jinchao quickly put a pillow behind his head to prevent him from hitting his head on the bed and bleeding.

Qiansui showed his real body without any hesitation and sat on Fu Jingnian's face: "I've seen that your favorability has increased absurdly. It turns out that you want to seduce my brother Chao. I tell you, I will never allow it! You can eat your fart!"

"Hahaha--"

The scene was so funny that Lu Jin couldn't help laughing out loud, and all the depression he had felt during the day was swept away.

Qiansui groaned: "What are you laughing at! I want him to know that you are impossible! Humph!"

"Of course not, I don't have that kind of feeling for him." Lu Jinzhao had laughed enough and patted the cat's head: "He is quite loyal as a friend, but unfortunately, he is not my type as a lover."

"Tell me more about it. What type do you like?"

"Do you have any tools to eliminate emotions?"

"Yes, the feeling of 'liking' is just the result of hormones. I can just give him some hormone inhibitors. No, don't change the subject!"

Early in the morning, the medical staff gave Lu Jinchao a full set of examinations. Fu Jingnian was awakened, his face blank. He didn't remember everything that happened after he came here.

Lu Jinchao only said that he was drinking beer and playing games last night and fell asleep. Fu Jingnian believed it. He often got drunk and blacked out, so he was not surprised by this kind of situation.

"Can he eat now?" Fu Jingnian asked after he finished washing up and came out to see the nurse drawing blood.

"It's okay. Eat something light. You can be discharged from the hospital if the test results are clear." The nurse pulled out the blood collection needle, packed up, and left the ward. She behaved very professionally and did not look around or talk nonsense the entire time.

Fu Jingnian asked his assistant to bring breakfast and wait for the test results together.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning when the results came out. The doctor held the examination report and praised Lu Jinchao's physical condition, saying that he was the healthiest person he had ever seen in all his years of practicing medicine.

After completing the discharge procedures, he heard that Yuan Yihan, who lived next door and had undergone the examination before him, had now been picked up by a nanny car.

Fu Jingnian walked out of the inpatient department door with a coat and tie draped over his arms, wearing a shirt and trousers. He rubbed his neck, wondering if he had a stiff neck last night and was now in great pain.

Lu Jinzhao glanced at Qiansui with a smile.

Chitose: “Hmph.”

The two walked side by side to the underground garage. Fu Jingnian came by car and said he would take Lu Jinzhao back to school. As soon as he walked to his car, he heard a quarrel nearby.

The female voice was full of anger, yet also contained some fear and helplessness: "Let me go! I told you I don't know you!"

The male voice was equally filled with anger: "You don't know me? You took hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of my stuff, and you say you don't know me?!"

"I don't know what you're talking about! I never took anything from you!"

"This voice sounds familiar..." Fu Jingnian hadn't reacted yet, "Hey, where are you going!"

Lu Jinzhao strode over, pulled the man away, and protected the girl behind him.

The man was Huo Zhou. When he saw that it was Lu Jinchao, he threw a punch at him: "You were the one who attacked me from behind last time, right? You caused my nose bone to be fractured and it hurts to breathe! I rested for several months! I told you not to get close to Fang Yin, and now you two dare to have a tryst behind my back!"

He swung his punches several times, but Lu Jinzhao dodged them all. He became angry and started to pounce.

Qiansui stroked his chin and said, "I was wondering why my host suddenly started to meddle in other people's business. It turns out it was Fang Yin and Huo Zhou."

Lu Jinzhao stepped forward and wrapped Huozhou's fist with his palm, then threw him over his shoulder and threw him to the ground, unable to get up.

He howled and yelled, still cursing: "Fuck you adulterous couple, I'm going to sue you and make you give back all the money you took from me!"

Fang Yin stood up straight and looked at Huo Zhou on the ground. "I say again, I really don't know you, and I have never taken a penny from you!"

"Okay, you're going to deny it, right?" Huo Zhou took out his phone from his pocket and opened the WeChat chat box. The avatar was Fang Yin's photo: "Do you dare to say this isn't your photo? The avatar is you, and there are chat records. Those selfies you sent me are all you. I also have transfer records and payment records. What else can you say! I spent so much money on you, and I can't even kiss you. Are you fucking gold-rimmed?!"

Lu Jinzhao felt like he was about to have a bout of stupidity, so he resisted the urge to swear, took his phone, and called him directly on WeChat: "You'll know after you give him a call."

Fang Yin cooperated by turning up the volume of her phone in front of them. None of the four people said anything.

Fu Jingnian suddenly poked Lu Jinchao and whispered, "She used your photo as her phone screensaver."

Lu Jinchao said nothing. He saw it. It was a photo of the two of them in the same frame. At the same time, he also knew that Fang Yin was not looking at him, but at Zhou Ye. It was just that the system changed the image data and memory, and everything became his current appearance.

Ji Lianhuai may have discovered that something was wrong with him through investigation and reasoning, but Fang Yin, because she loved Zhou Ye deeply, was able to intuitively discover that he was not the same person.

Chitose wiped away her non-existent tears and said, "Such sincere feelings are rare nowadays. It's a bit sweet."

"indeed."

The dial tone continued for a long time, but Fang Yin's phone still didn't ring.

Huo Zhou couldn't believe it, "You must have a backup phone, right?"

Fang Yin took a deep breath and said helplessly: "I only have this one phone. Didn't you even have a video call with the other party before transferring the money?"

Huo Zhou scratched the back of his head, then touched his chin, a little embarrassed: "I only called you by voice, you always said that you have classes during the day and your roommates are all at night, so it's not convenient to video chat."

Fu Jingnian was so stupid that he cursed, "Are you fucking stupid? Forget about learning online dating at such an old age. You spent hundreds of thousands of dollars without even having a video call. No wonder your father refused to hand over the company to you."

Huozhou really wanted to curse back, but he couldn't afford to offend Fu Jingnian, so in the end he could only hold his anger back.

At this moment, Huozhou's phone beeped and a voice message played automatically. A low but sweet voice came from the other end: "Honey, why are you suddenly video calling me? I'm in class, it's not convenient. If you have something to say, just send me a voice message."

Now all three of them looked at Huozhou with strange eyes.

Fang Yin was okay, she just felt sympathy, but Fu Jingnian was almost about to write the words "You're an idiot" on his forehead.

Huozhou was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into: "Fuck!"

“Can you show me those photos?”

Fu Jingnian took the phone and stuffed it into Fang Yin's hand: "Look."

Fang Yin took Huo Zhou's phone and frowned more and more as she flipped through it. "Some of these photos were taken secretly, and some were group photos I posted on my Moments. This person should be my WeChat friend, and her voice sounds familiar, but it should be different from her usual voice. I can't remember it right away."

"It's just a clamp." Fu Jingnian kicked Huozhou on the ground: "You gave her a gift without an address or anything?"

Huo Zhou's face wrinkled up. "Imperial Capital University and the School of Management share a courier station. How would I know? And every time she sent me the payment link, I paid directly on her behalf. The information was censored!"

Fu Jingnian was a little confused: "I don't think you can inherit the Huo family. I'll use your pig brain for something else."

Lu Jinchao's eyes fell on Huo Zhou's face. "How did you meet? How long have you known each other? Did the other party mention his university and major, or other identity information and address?"

"I don't know when she added me as a friend, but one day she took the initiative to chat with me, and I saw that her profile picture was pretty, so I clicked on her Moments and saw that she was a beauty, and we started chatting," Huo Zhou frowned and thought for a while. "She said she was Fang Yin from the School of Management, a freshman. I asked someone to check, and the information was all true, so I never doubted it."

Lu Jinzhao thought for a moment and suggested to Fang Yin: "Set your Moments to be visible for three days. Find a photo that has never been posted before, and group all the suspects you can think of. Make inconspicuous marks in different corners for each group. Then use Huozhou's phone to ask her for a selfie. She will most likely go to your Moments to refresh it. Then, see which group the photo she posted corresponds to, and you can narrow down the scope and identify the suspect."

Fu Jingnian gave a thumbs up: "Awesome."

Chitose puffed up his cheeks: "Why don't you just ask me directly, Chao-nii? Am I not your favorite system?"

Lu Jinzhao: "It won't be fun if we reveal the answer all at once. Don't get involved in this matter."

Fang Yin also thought this was a good idea. She flipped through the photo album on her phone and actually found a suitable one. She divided the possible suspects into groups. She didn't have many WeChat friends, just over a hundred in total. She also grouped some of the photos that person sent to Huozhou. She only needed to keep the people in the groups. After a careful screening, only a dozen suspects were finally identified. She opened the photo editing software and quickly created more than a dozen different versions of the photos. They all looked the same on the surface, but only by zooming in could the different marks inside be seen.

Fu Jingnian was stunned: "No, are you girls so good at photoshopping?"

Huo Zhou leaned over to watch, looking puzzled: "Why is there a man in the profile picture? Didn't I just hear that it was a female clip?"

Fang Yin smiled, pointed at one of the people's portraits, and explained, "This person is a dubbing major from the Academy of Acting. He can fake voices, and he can easily do the voices of a young lady or a mature lady, so I think he is a suspect."

Fu Jingnian: "Tsk tsk tsk, what a talent."

"The photos have been sent, now we just have to wait for the fish to take the bait."

Lu Jinzhao handed Huozhou's phone to him: "Send a voice message and ask her to send you a selfie."

"Honey, I miss you. Send me a photo." The voice gave goosebumps to the three people and the cat. Huo Zhou was unaware. After sending the voice message, he stood up from the ground, rubbing his buttocks and said, "Can we find a place to sit down and talk? My mouth is dry and my body aches a lot."

Fu Jingnian was speechless: "You are amazing."

In the coffee shop outside the hospital, Fu Jingnian asked the boss to book the place and asked them not to let anyone in on the second floor for the time being. He kicked Huo Zhou and said, "Pay!"

Huo Zhou cursed: "You are richer than me, and you want me to pay for the whole place???"

Fu Jingnian rolled his eyes: "Didn't you cause this? Lu Jinzhao and I are somewhat famous, and we will be recognized! If you want to attract attention and let everyone know that you were deceived in an online relationship, you don't have to cover this."

"......" Huozhou scanned the code and paid with frustration.

On the large U-shaped sofa, Fang Yin sat on one side, Fu Jingnian sat opposite her next to Lu Jinzhao, and Huo Zhou sat at the innermost position where he was sandwiched from both sides.

Fu Jingnian asked Fang Yin and Lu Jinzhao, ordered a drink for each of them, and threw the menu to Huozhou, asking him to order by himself. Huozhou pouted, picked up the menu and ordered a bunch of desserts.

"Oh, by the way, sister, did you appear in the underground garage of the hospital to see him?" Fu Jingnian bit the straw, pointed at Lu Jinzhao with his finger, and asked Fang Yin.

Fang Yin nodded: "I saw in the group that he was injured, so I came to visit."

"Who comes to visit a patient empty-handed? You're obviously here to meet your lover." Huozhou muttered in a low voice.

Lu Jinzhao drank his coffee with a calm expression on his face, but secretly stepped on the tip of Huozhou's shoes with his heels, making him scream.

Chitose: “You deserve it!”

"Hello, the desserts you ordered are here." The waiter came up with a full plate of desserts and couldn't help but look at Lu Jinzhao again and again.

"Well, stop looking. We have something to talk about. Remember not to let anyone near the second floor." Fu Jingnian waved his hand to signal the waiter to leave first.

At this moment, Huo Zhou's phone vibrated, and the fake Fang Yin sent him a selfie. It was the one Fang Yin had just posted to her Moments.

At the same time, more than a dozen notifications of deductions from intimate payments were sent.

Huo Zhou cursed angrily: "Fuck! Not only did you cheat on my feelings, but now you're using my intimacy payment! I'm going to shut it down!"

"Don't turn it off! If you turn it off now, you'll alert the enemy!" Fang Yin immediately took Huo Zhou's phone and clicked on the original picture. She used two fingers to zoom in on the picture and compared it with the group she posted on her Moments. Halfway through, she paused, with a look of confusion and hurt on her face: "How could it be her..."

Lu Jinzhao took a look and was also a little surprised.

Fu Jingnian and Huo Zhou noticed that they looked different and became even more curious: "Who is it?"

*

Duan Qiu held Zhang Daiqin and Ruan Ting in his arms. The three of them came back from shopping in the mall and were walking back to the dormitory with bags in their hands.

Lu Jinzhao and Fang Yin walked out of the underground garage and happened to bump into the three people. He gently signaled Fu Jingnian and Huo Zhou to stay where they were and not show up for the time being.

Duan Qiu was sharp-eyed and raised his hand to greet him: "Junior! Here, here!"

When Ruan Ting saw that it was her idol, she tightened her grip unconsciously, and tried hard to resist the urge to cover her mouth and scream, then take out her cell phone to take pictures of her idol to keep, and she greeted him obediently.

Lu Jinzhao walked up to the three of them and said, "Hello, senior sister."

"I saw on the news that something happened to you while you were filming, and then we asked around in the group we joined last time, and your roommate said you were fine, and told us not to visit, and just wait for you to return to school today," Duan Qiu stuffed a paper bag into Lu Jinzhao's hand, "This is the longevity lock we bought for you just now when we went shopping at the mall, and I hope it can keep you safe. The money was raised by the fan club, and it's a token of love from the fans, so don't refuse it!"

Lu Jinzhao took the paper bag and smiled: "Okay, thank you."

"Hello, seniors," Fang Yin said with a smile, "Did you go out to the mall?"

"Hello, beautiful junior schoolmate, hehe." Duan Qiu smiled: "Tingting and I went to buy gifts for junior schoolmates, and then Qinqin happened to be going shopping, so we went together and just came back from shopping."

Lu Jinzhao's eyes fell on the various brand paper bags in Zhang Daiqin's hands: "Senior sister bought a lot."

Zhang Daiqin seemed to have just come to her senses, "Yeah, I saw a lot of things I liked, so I bought a little bit of them."

Duan Qiu also nodded: "Qinqin has been dating someone recently, so she started to take skin care and makeup seriously."

Ruan Ting asked curiously: "Qinqin, is your boyfriend a rich second-generation? Why is he so generous?"

Zhang Daiqin raised her chin slightly, covering her face shyly, "Yes, my boyfriend likes me very much."

"I like you, you idiot!" Huo Zhou rushed over, cursing. Even though Fu Jingnian tried his best to stop him, he pointed at Zhang Daiqin's nose and cursed, "You f*cking used a fake photo to trick me and make me lose face!"

The moment Zhang Daiqin saw Huozhou, her face turned pale. The branded paper bag in her hand fell to the ground, "You, why are you here?"
