Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

Zhou Jianguo came to check on Zhou Yanxing in the middle of the night and found that his breathing was very heavy. When he touched him, he found that he was burning hot.

"Yan Yan? Yan Yan?"

Zhou Yanxing groaned in discomfort but did not respond.

Zhou Jianguo quickly picked up the fever reducer placed by the bedside, helped him sit up, and fed him the medicine.

However, Zhou Yanxing was completely unconscious and could not be fed any medicine.

Zhou Jianguo put the medicine back, dressed him simply, and carried him away.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Nuannuan came out of the house and saw her father carrying her fourth brother down the stairs.

Zhou Nuannuan followed him downstairs. "Dad, what happened to Fourth Brother?"

"Your fourth brother has a fever. I'm taking him to the hospital. You go back to sleep."

Jin Aiyun and Lu Yan also came out.

Zhou Jianguo looked at Jin Aiyun and said, "Xiao Si'er has a fever. Take the keys and take him to the hospital right away."

Lu Yan walked over and said, "Chief, let's give him some fever-reducing medicine first."

Zhou Jianguo explained, "He can't get it in."

At this moment, Zhou Yanchen also came out of the house.

Zhou Jianguo looked at him and said, "Yan Chen, go back to your room and sleep. Your mother and I will take Yan Yan to the hospital for his injection."

Zhou Yanchen glanced at Zhou Yanxing on his father's back seat, nodded, and said, "Okay."

Jin Aiyun came over with the car keys.

The two took Zhou Yanxing to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhou Jianguo carried Zhou Yanxing on his back and strode into the emergency room.

While taking her temperature, the doctor was preparing the medication, because he was quite certain that she had a fever and needed to get an antipyretic injection as soon as possible.

Five minutes later, the thermometer was taken out, and the fever had reached 40 degrees Celsius.

Jin Aiyun ran off with the thermometer to call the doctor.

Because his fever was so high, he needed to be given an injection to quickly bring his temperature down before he could start an IV drip.

It took half an hour of effort to finally get the IV drip on. Zhou Yanxing had an injury on his back and couldn't lie down. He was burning up and unconscious. When they gave him the injection in his buttocks, he only frowned and didn't seem to wake up.

Zhou Jianguo let him lean on his shoulder.

Jin Aiyun was heartbroken, while Zhou Jianguo kept a stern face.

Zhou Yanxing was delirious with fever when he slowly felt the cool liquid entering his body, and he opened his eyes.

Upon seeing Zhou Jianguo, Zhou Yanxing paused for a moment, then called out uncertainly, "Dad?"

Zhou Jianguo: "Yanxing, how are you feeling right now?"

Zhou Yanxing glanced at the IV drip above his head, then at Jin Aiyun beside him who looked anxious. "Dad, Mom, do I have a fever?"

Jin Aiyun hummed in agreement. "Are you feeling better now?"

Zhou Yanxing nodded. "Much better."

Seeing that he was more energetic than before, Jin Aiyun and Zhou Jianguo both breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his parents by his side, with his father even holding him, Zhou Yanxing's eyes reddened and he cried.

People are always more vulnerable when they are sick, especially at night, when they are more prone to sentimentality.

Seeing him cry, Zhou Jianguo said sternly, "What's a man crying for? Your eldest brother and third brother suffered so many injuries on missions, and they didn't shed a single tear! You cry over a needle prick!"

Jin Aiyun tugged at his sleeve, telling him to stop talking.

Xiao Lu had just told them during the day, but his old man really couldn't remember a thing.

Zhou Yanxing quickly wiped away his tears and held back the rest. "Dad, I'm not afraid of pain."

"If you're not afraid of the pain, why are you crying?"

Zhou Yanxing pouted, "It's been a long time since you and my mom have been this worried about me, and it's been a long time since you've been this close to me."

After he became sensible, his father rarely carried him on his back anymore.

His father always told the four brothers that they were boys and couldn't let their parents hold them all the time like their sister.

Every time he saw his father's broad back, he wanted to lean on it, but he didn't dare.

Zhou Jianguo pursed his lips. "You're a man. What's with clinging to your parents like that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanxing sat up, which aggravated the wound on his back, causing him to gasp in pain.

Zhou Jianguo sighed, "Lean on my shoulder."

Zhou Yanxing was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to believe what he was hearing.

Zhou Jianguo couldn't bear to see him like this, so he pressed his head down and placed it on his shoulder.

Zhou Yanxing smelled his scent and said, "Dad, you smell so good."

Zhou Jianguo closed his eyes. "Shut your mouth."

I really don't understand how he and Jin Aiyun, both of whom are straightforward, could have such a soft-hearted son.

If it weren't for the fact that their facial features resembled theirs, he would have thought they had been switched at birth at the hospital.

Zhou Yanxing responded with an "oh".

But his father's scent made him feel very safe, and he was very fond of it when he was a child.

Seeing her son's moved expression, Jin Aiyun felt a pang of sadness.

Seeing that he showed no signs of wanting to sleep, he said, "Yanxing, your father and I reflected on this this afternoon, and we have indeed neglected you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanxing was stunned for a moment. "Mom, what's wrong?"

Jin Aiyun pointed at him and said, "I'm talking to you about serious matters. Don't call me grandma. Your grandma isn't possessing me."

Zhou Yanxing nodded, confirming that it was her biological mother.

"Mom, why are you suddenly telling me all this?"

"Xiao Lu talked to us this afternoon," Jin Aiyun said. "Your situation with Liang Ling can't be entirely blamed on you; your father and I also bear some responsibility."

Sister Yan?

Zhou Yanxing didn't think much of it and said, "Mom, I was too stupid. It has nothing to do with you."

Zhou Jianguo pursed his lips, his voice softening slightly, "Yanxing, you and your eldest, second, and third brothers are all my children. In your mother's and my eyes, they are all the same. There is no such thing as one being more important than the other."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanxing's eyes welled up with tears, but he forced them back.

"Your mother and I admit that we are a bit disappointed in you, but we also hope that you can succeed. However, we did not consider your feelings, which made you feel useless. Your mother and I neglected you."

Zhou Yanxing: "Dad, I know, it's all my fault for being so useless."

Jin Aiyun sighed, "Yanxing, Xiao Lu is right. You're just not suited for the military or politics, but there are always some positions that are right for you. You are your parents' son, and your father and I will never treat you differently."

It's so difficult to get Jin Aiyun to say the word "love".

She couldn't bring herself to say it.

She truly admired Xiao Lu immensely, and every day she would shout to Lu Yaguang, "My son is so great! My son is the best! Mommy loves you so much!"

She could never bring herself to say such a thing in her entire life.

"Your father and I have never looked down on you, nor have we ever thought you were useless. No parent would truly look down on their own child, and your father and I certainly wouldn't."

Zhou Yanxing sniffed. Others might not understand, but he did. He knew how difficult it was to hear these words from his parents, and he quickly assured them.

"Dad, Mom, I know you love me. I will work hard after I graduate."

Since the topic of work had come up, Zhou Jianguo asked, "Have you decided what you want to do?"
