"Get up!" Shen Luo yanked at Xiao Chuan's arm.

Xiao Chuan looked up at him, still smiling. "Why so mad? I thought you'd be happy to see me."

Shen Luo couldn't help shouting, "Happy my ass!"

"Not happy? Then I guess I'll leave."

He actually started getting up.

Shen Luo panicked. "Don't go! It's late, where would you even go?"

Xiao Chuan grinned at him, and Shen Luo immediately wanted to dig a hole and disappear. Wasn't this just slapping himself in the face? He just said he didn't want the guy here, and now he wouldn't let him leave? Xiao Chuan had learned to play dirty! Shen Luo clenched his teeth.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to push down the awkwardness, then sat down and said, "You disappeared for more than a month, and now you just show up out of nowhere. What the hell kind of game are you playing?"

Shen Luo really had been overjoyed to see him, but right after the joy came all the anger. He'd waited for a call for over a month—every single day, hoping and waiting. Even just a message to say he was alive would've been something. But this jerk didn't send a single word.

Suddenly, Xiao Chuan gave him a tug, and Shen Luo tumbled right onto the bed, ending up super close to him.

Shen Luo froze, completely stiff. He had no clue how to react. He'd just started to struggle when Xiao Chuan suddenly pulled him into a hug and said, "Don't move. Let me hold you for a bit."

Honestly, Shen Luo's heart was racing—Xiao Chuan actually hugged him? Holy crap! He never even dreamed this would happen! ...Well, okay, maybe he had dreamed it.

They stayed like that for a while, until Xiao Chuan finally let out a long sigh. "It's always the most relaxing here. The most comfortable."

Shen Luo's heart instantly softened. His tone eased too. "Tired? Want to sleep?"

Xiao Chuan nodded. "I haven't even showered yet."

"Whatever, I'll just change the sheets tomorrow."

Honestly, Xiao Chuan probably smelled cleaner and better than the sheets themselves.

He let out a little "mm" and really did close his eyes and fall asleep. Shen Luo thought, the night before Xiao Chuan left, he held him like this the whole time. Was he planning to do that again tonight? What did he think he was, a human body pillow?

Shen Luo turned his face and looked at Xiao Chuan. The scent of Xiao Chuan's cologne drifted straight into his nose. Honestly, it smelled pretty damn good—probably something a perfumer had carefully blended. Way better than the old soap scent Xiao Chuan used to have. But still, it felt kinda airy and not quite real. The soap smell might've been plain, but it was way more comforting.

Shen Luo was still lost in his thoughts when he felt a warm body curl up against his back. He looked over—it was Ethan. On the other side of the bed, Ah Fei and the others jumped up too, lying down all around them. It wasn't just Shen Luo who missed Xiao Chuan. Even the animals did.

When Shen Luo woke up the next morning, he saw Xiao Chuan standing by the bed, wearing a white undershirt with a jacket over it.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing. Just waiting to see when you'd wake up."

Shen Luo sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Why are you dressed like that? Not going back today?"

Xiao Chuan nodded. "Not going back today. I'm going to the hospital with you."

Shen Luo gave a little "oh," feeling like Xiao Chuan was teasing him.

When he got up, he saw the cat food and dog food were all set out, the chickens had already been let out, the cages had been cleaned—everything was taken care of.

It wasn't until he got to the front door that he noticed an Audi parked right outside. Shen Luo freaked out. "You just parked your car here? Aren't you scared someone's gonna steal it?"

This was practically the countryside—definitely not the kind of place where you could leave a car out in the open. Even motorcycles got stolen all the time.

"Didn't get stolen, did it? If it does, I'll just buy another one." Like a new Audi was some kind of cabbage at the market. Shen Luo suddenly felt a little bitter about the wealth gap.

After brushing his teeth and washing up, they loaded the pet food and supplies into the car. Shen Luo said, not too kindly, "You better think about how you're gonna explain yourself to the pet hospital. You vanished for so long and didn't even bother to call."

Xiao Chuan could tell Shen Luo was still really hung up on that. He said, "This past month has been crazy. After I went missing, the company at home turned into a mess. The people under me started taking advantage, and it took a lot of effort to clean it all up. Then came the investigation into the real cause of the accident, so I really didn't have any time to reach out. I was also worried about bringing trouble to you guys."

Shen Luo kind of accepted that explanation. From all the drama he'd seen in Zheng Jiamei's TV shows, he knew rich families didn't have it easy. Since Xiao Chuan was in charge of the business, things probably really did go to hell when he was gone.

"So the reason you ended up by the Yujin River was because of the car crash?"

"Yeah. I was driving at night, and this huge truck came straight at me. I swerved hard and ended up flying into the river. Barely managed to crawl out of the car and get to shore before I passed out."

He even remembered all the details now, so the investigation must've dug everything up. For a regular person, a car accident might just be a fluke. But for a rich kid like Xiao Chuan, there was no way it was that simple.

Shen Luo thought about asking more but decided against it. He forced himself to change the subject. "You're lucky you ran into me."

Xiao Chuan smiled. "Yeah, guess I am."

Shen Luo told him about what was going on at the hospital lately—like how Baobao had successfully gotten pregnant, Big Horn's kid had already been sent off, and Qiuqiu's baby had a super unique look so they wouldn't have any trouble finding an adopter. Ah Fei and Mengmeng were both pregnant too, and he was kind of worried if Duoduo had been cheated on or something.

Xiao Chuan listened with a soft smile. These little everyday updates were exactly the kind of thing he loved hearing most. The breeze outside was gentle, the music from the radio drifted through the air—life like this was just easy and peaceful.

When they got to the hospital, Zheng Jiamei gasped the second she saw Xiao Chuan. She ran over and looked him up and down. "I thought we'd never see you again!"

Shen Luo shot her a look. "What kind of thing is that to say? 'Never see you again'?"
