Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

Yes.

Sincerity will lead to a clear path.

Zhang Lingyu could live without children, but he couldn't live without his close friend Zhou Fengliu! He had to live up to Zhou Fengliu's expectations!

Master... thankfully you've returned this time, otherwise... I don't know what consequences my fickleness might have caused...

Outside the door, Zhang Lingyu thought to herself.

He had been wavering between telling Zhou Fengliu and his own mind, but now the Old Master was hinting to him to stop flaring up and stick to his own beliefs...

This undoubtedly gave him immense courage, strengthening his resolve to tell Zhou Fengliu about the child... Regardless of whether Zhou Fengliu would raise it or not, accept it or not, he would not lose Zhou Fengliu as his close friend.

Having made his decision, Zhang Lingyu strode out and soon returned to Zhou Fengliu's room.

Seeing that he paused for a moment, he then knocked on Zhou Fengliu's door.

"Enter..."

Zhou Fengliu's voice came from inside the door. Zhang Lingyu pushed the door open and saw Zhou Fengliu yawning, holding Tuantuan in his arms, swinging his arms from side to side, trying to lull her to sleep...

Seeing Zhang Lingyu return, he felt a glimmer of hope and whispered, "Ayu, you're finally back... Here, take this child."

As he spoke, he carefully handed the child to Zhang Lingyu, then breathed a sigh of relief as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

No one knows what Zhang Lingyu experienced during the hour or so that he was talking with the Celestial Master...

Changing diapers, comforting Tuantuan to stop crying, and putting her to sleep...

This simple process, though routine for new parents, was quite a hassle for a young man like Zhou Fengliu...

...

P.S.: As usual, I'm asking for some help. By now, you all can probably tell that this book is coming to an end. It will probably be finished around the New Year.

The most troubling thing right now is the ending. I'm thinking about what kind of ending I should give Zhou Fengliu to satisfy myself, to satisfy his adoptive fathers, and to satisfy Zhou Fengliu himself...

It's this dilemma that makes the update speed so slow...

I must apologize to all my adoptive fathers here. The ever-steadfast and unwavering Meng has become a cuckold at the end of the story...

Sorry~

Chapter 610 Is this child mine? Is it trendy these days for the Quanxing Gang to go straight and legal?

“I didn’t think it was that difficult before, but once I actually started, I realized how tough it is to be a single dad. Ah Yu, you’ve had a tough time.”

Zhou Fengliu remarked that Zhang Lingyu's skill in caring for the child was undoubtedly due to hard work and dedication...

Listening to Zhou Fengliu's understanding of her, Zhang Lingyu was still thinking about how to tell Zhou Fengliu about Tuantuan's background.

"Zhou Fengliu, there's something I need to tell you..."

After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Lingyu finally spoke, looking at Zhou Fengliu with a rather serious expression.

"?"

"what?"

Seeing Zhang Lingyu so serious and earnest, Zhou Fengliu paused slightly, as if some ominous premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Actually, Tuantuan is your child."

"..."

When Zhang Lingyu said this, Zhou Fengliu's first reaction was to freeze, as if his brain had been disconnected. He then asked uncertainly:

"No... Ah Yu, you went out and chatted with the Old Master for a while, and you came back with this huge mess for me..."

"How could this child be mine... Don't be ridiculous."

Zhang Lingyu was not surprised by Zhou Fengliu's questioning.

In fact, he had imagined many times what Zhou Fengliu's reaction would be when he learned the truth about this incident...

Whether it's doubt, breakdown, or rage, he anticipates all such emotions.

"I'm not joking..." Zhang Lingyu said seriously.

"You know I never joke with you..."

"Tuantuan is your biological daughter."

Hearing Zhang Lingyu's confirmation again, Zhou Fengliu's brows furrowed involuntarily:

"Ayu, you can't talk nonsense. I've always been a person of integrity and uprightness... the only true gentleman in the world."

"Even though I go out a lot, I always go to respectable places...and their safety measures are very thorough..."

"You say this daughter is mine, but do you have any proof? I don't even know who her mother is... how could she possibly be my daughter..."

"and many more..."

As Zhou Fengliu spoke, he seemed to have found a blind spot, and suddenly paused, then changed the subject:

"Ayu, you wouldn't be unable to get over that hurdle in your heart, so you lied to the Old Master and implicated me in this child's background, would you? And asked me to cover for you?"

"..."

Faced with Zhou Fengliu's conjecture, Zhang Lingyu silently shook her head:

"Although you may not believe it, it is true. Tuantuan's mother is very familiar with you... and she has indeed had physical intimacy with you."

"Do you still remember that night when Quanxing attacked Longhu Mountain, what happened between Xia He and you?"

"Longhu Mountain? The Quanxing Sect is attacking the mountain..."

Hearing Zhang Lingyu's reminder, Zhou Fengliu frowned and began to recall what had happened that night.

As fragments of memory surfaced, his expression gradually changed, from initial disbelief to growing terrified upon closer examination.

Although he didn't remember much about that night, he did remember that the next morning, Xia He left without saying goodbye, and left several thousand yuan for him by the bedside...

"No way... really? Just that one time, and it was an accident... and that was it?"

Zhou Fengliu is now having some doubts about life.

Zhou Fengliu had been a wandering swordsman for so many years, visiting countless foot massage parlors and talking to countless people all night long, without ever encountering any mishaps. How could it be that on that one night, especially with Xia He...

"How can you be so sure this is my child? And... even if it's related to Xia He, how did the child end up in your hands?"

Zhou Fengliu's thoughts were in turmoil; he desperately wanted to know the whole story from Zhang Lingyu.

Faced with Zhou Fengliu's questioning, Zhang Lingyu recounted in detail how Xia He had approached Hua Nan Na Du Tong and asked him to keep the child's secret.

"I secretly had a paternity test done between you and Tuantuan, confirming this. I kept it from you before... Firstly, I promised to keep Xia He's secret, and secondly, I know your personality, and I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept this all at once..."

Listening to Zhang Lingyu's words, Zhou Fengliu, with mixed feelings, turned his gaze to the sleeping Tuantuan beside him:

"Then why are you telling me this now?"

"because..."

At this point, Zhang Lingyu paused for a moment: "Because my master said that I should stick to my original intention and treat you with sincerity."

“This matter is of great importance. If I keep it from you, and you find out later, I will feel guilty regardless of whether you blame me or not.”

"I will tell you the truth, even if you can't accept it or even blame me, I will still have a clear conscience."

"I used to think that keeping it from you was a way of protecting you, but after my master pointed it out, I feel that it's not protection for you, but rather unfair..."

Zhang Lingyu explained his considerations, and Zhou Fengliu felt a chill run down his spine after hearing them.

Old Celestial Master...

Thank you so much...

Zhang Lingyu, a perfectly healthy male mother, was transformed back into a modern young person after the old master's miraculous healing touch, only to find herself facing a huge disaster...

After hearing Tuantuan's background and looking at her again, Zhou Fengliu belatedly realized why the child seemed so familiar...

It turns out he wasn't like Zhang Lingyu, but rather himself.

...

Silence reigns at the Celestial Master's Mansion tonight.

Zhou Fengliu sat in the chair, lost in thought. The sudden idea of ​​becoming a father caught him off guard.

You should know that he brought Zhang Lingyu to the Celestial Master's Mansion with the intention of watching the drama unfold. How did he end up being the one watching the drama unfold instead of the one being watched?

They arrived in good health... but couldn't return!

From a free-spirited and romantic young man to a father... who could stand that?

"And what about Xia He? She just dumped the child on you and ran away? Seriously, she's good at being a hands-off parent, but can't she have any sense of responsibility?!"

After a moment of silence, Zhou Fengliu posed another probing question to Xia He.

"She...turned herself in."

"?"

"What the hell?"

Upon hearing Zhang Lingyu's words, Zhou Fengliu was immediately taken aback.

These days, he'd seen technicians leave the profession and go back to their hometowns to marry honest men, but this was the first time he'd seen a member of the Quanxing sect voluntarily try to clear his name...

No, it can't be said to be the first time. Not long ago, he had just experienced Li Muxuan's intention to withdraw from Quanxing...

No?

These days, is it fashionable for the entire Quanxing (a triad society) to "clean up their image and go ashore"?

"Where did she hold her withdrawal ceremony from the Quanxing sect? Who was notified?" Zhou Fengliu said he hadn't heard a thing...

Hearing his question, Zhang Lingyu slowly answered:

"There was no withdrawal ceremony, and no one was notified. As for the location where she turned herself in, it was in Na Du Tong. After she handed the child over to me, I took her in... She should be serving her sentence somewhere in Na Du Tong now..."

"Because I was afraid you'd find out, I handled the whole thing myself, bypassing you..."

...

P.S.: Just asking for everything, thank you all for your support!
