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

The man moved a stool over and sat down next to Zhou Yanchen, seemingly oblivious to the disdain on Zhou Yanchen's face. He raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Haven't seen you in so long, did you miss me?"

Zhou Yan frowned. "Get out!"

The man clicked his tongue twice. "How heartless."

Zhou Nuannuan and Zhou Yanxing seemed to be used to his behavior and chuckled to themselves.

The man looked at Lu Yan, his expression becoming somewhat improper, yet not in a way that made people uncomfortable. "What a beautiful little sister."

Judging from the attitude of the three siblings towards this person, Lu Yan knew that this must be Zhou Yanchen's friend.

Lu Yan nodded slightly to him. "Hello, my name is Lu Yan."

The man extended his hand to her. "Hello, my name is Zhu Jingru."

Just as Lu Yan reached out her hand, another hand moved faster than her.

Zhou Yanchen raised his hand and slapped Zhu Jingru's hand away. "Be serious!"

Zhu Jingru was displeased. "What did I do wrong? I sincerely want to be friends with Comrade Lu Yan."

Zhou Yanchen glared at him and said, "If you say another word, get out of here."

Zhu Jingru withdrew his hand. "Alright."

Zhou Yanxing introduced from the side, "Sister Yan, he is Uncle Zhu's son, the third in his family."

Lu Yan was surprised.

It turned out to be Political Commissar Zhu's son.

She had met Political Commissar Zhu and his wife before; they were both mature, steady, and deep-thinking people. How come their son was so unruly?

Seemingly understanding her confusion, Zhou Yanxing explained from the side, "His older brothers and sisters are both very mature, but he's just like that."

As he spoke, Zhou Yanxing spread his hands.

Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

pretty good.

Zhou Yanxing handed the chopsticks to Zhu Jingru, "Brother Jingru, Sister Yan's barbecue is delicious, you should try it."

Zhu Jingru didn't stand on ceremony and treated the meat sandwich as if it were his own home, specifically choosing the largest piece of beef.

"Mmm, delicious!"

Zhou Yanchen looked at him and asked, "How long are you staying this time?"

As Zhu Jingru ate, he said, "I'm not leaving. I've been transferred to the Beijing North People's Hospital."

As he spoke, Zhu Jingru looked at his legs and put away his previous nonchalant attitude.

Have you felt anything in your legs lately?

Zhou Yanchen shook his head. "No."

Zhu Jingru was mentally prepared and not too disappointed. "I went to Shanghai a while ago and asked the orthopedic doctors and neurologists there. They said that as long as the muscles don't atrophy, there is a possibility of recovery in the future."

Zhou Yan remained silent.

Zhu Jingru leaned closer as she spoke, "Now that I'm back, I'll give you a massage every time I get off work."

Zhou Yanchen glared at him and said, "Get lost!"

Lu Yan became alert.

Seriously? This guy's trying to steal her job!

"No!"

Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan were so frightened that they spoke in unison.

When he comes to give Third Brother a massage, Sister Yan and Third Brother won't have many opportunities to be alone together!

Zhu Jingru glanced at them and said, "What are you two doing? That's hurtful."

Zhou Yanchen pursed his lips and remained silent.

Zhou Yanxing said, "Sister Yan massages Third Brother every day."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingru looked at Lu Yan with some surprise.

"Zhou Yanchen, you're asking him to give you a massage?"

Lu Yan blinked. How should she answer?

He seemed not to believe her when she told him, but Zhou Yanchen did indeed have her press the button.

Zhu Jingru could tell from Lu Yan's expression, and gave her a thumbs up, "Amazing, amazing."

Zhou Yanchen: "Eat your food!"

After dinner, Lu Yan took Lu Yaguang back to their room to rest.

Zhu Jingru and Zhou Yanchen sat in the courtyard chatting.

Zhu Jingru glanced into the room and said with certainty, "You have feelings for that female comrade."

"No," Zhou Yanchen denied.

"Come on, we've been inseparable since we were kids, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Zhou Yan was utterly speechless. "That's because you'll never be as tall as me, and you'll always be wearing my hand-me-downs!"

Zhu Jingru: "That's not the same thing."

Zhou Yanchen ignored him and told him to go back if there was nothing else, "I'm going to take a nap."

Zhu Jingru: "My parents didn't know I was coming back, so they didn't air out my blankets. I'll sleep with you tonight."

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Yanchen's eyes. "If you don't want to die, get the hell out of here."

Zhu Jingru sighed, "Still so heartless."

When do you get your massage each day?

Zhou Yanchen looked up at him.

Zhu Jingru: "I just came to take a look."

I can't feel at ease if I don't check on him.

Zhou Yanchen: "No need."

After saying that, Zhou Yanchen turned his wheelchair and went back into the house.

Looking at his straight back, Zhu Jingru put away his nonchalant expression and frowned.

"Nuan Nuan, has your third brother gone out for a walk recently?"

Zhou Nuannuan nodded, "I've been out a few times."

"What kind of person is Lu Yan? Is she reliable?"

Zhou Nuannuan nodded again, "Sister Yanyan is great. My mom used to hire several people to take care of my brother, but he chased them all away. After Sister Yanyan came, my brother not only went out more often, but he also insisted on getting massages every day, and his appetite is much better than before."

Zhu Jingru nodded, "Okay, I'll be home most of the time. Next time your brother gets a massage, call me and I'll come over."

Zhou Nuannuan hesitated for a moment, but thinking that Zhu Jingru would definitely not harm her brother, she nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, Lu Yan woke up with a heavy head and a weak body. She forced herself to get up and knocked on Zhou Yanchen's door.

"Mr. Zhou, are you awake?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhou Yan's deep voice came through the doorway, "Come in."

Lu Yan pushed open the door and went in. "Mr. Zhou, I'm not feeling well, so I won't be able to give you a massage today."

Zhou Yan sat up and noticed her face was unusually flushed. "You have a fever?"

Lu Yan was still a little groggy. She touched her forehead and said, "I feel a bit weak. I'll take some medicine in a bit and I'll be fine."

Zhou Yanchen frowned deeply. He wanted to take her to the hospital, but he himself needed someone to take care of him, and going with her would only be a burden to her.

Seeing him frown, Lu Yan assumed he was unhappy that she couldn't give him massages on time, so she said, "If you want a massage, I can, but I'm worried I might give you a cold."

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Zhou Yanchen pursed his lips and said, "I was thinking of having Yanxing take you to the health center, not blaming you for not giving me a massage."

Lu Yan responded with an "oh," and he didn't blame her.

"It's okay, I'm healthy. I'll just take some medicine and get some sleep."

Zhou Yanxing nodded. "My parents won't be home for dinner tonight, so don't cook. Just let Yanxing get food from the cafeteria."

Lu Yan didn't insist; she really needed to sleep and sweat it out.

Lu Yan slept for an exceptionally long time; she could have continued sleeping if Zhou Yanxing hadn't called her to get up for dinner.

I feel much better after a good night's sleep.

Seeing that she looked much better, Zhou Yanchen and the others were relieved.

After dinner, Lu Yan felt her fever had subsided, so she stopped taking medicine, washed up, and went to sleep.

In the latter half of the night, she was half asleep when she thought she heard Lu Yaguang crying.

Lu Yaguang ran to Zhou Jianguo and Jin Aiyun's bedroom door in a panic, crying, "Grandma, my mom has a fever! Please save her!"
