"Brother, let's play a game together," Feng Feng said, his mood becoming increasingly erratic.
Mu Anxiao retreated and sat on the sofa, looking at Feng Feng on the bed with an excited expression. "I think you can go home now."
Feng Feng looked at Mu Anxiao, shook his head, and said, "No, I've finally been hospitalized, I have to cherish it properly."
Mu Anxiao settled onto the sofa. "You play with your brother, I'm going to sleep."
"What are you sleeping for? We're all..."
Before Feng Feng could finish, a nurse, her face flushed with anger, pushed the door open and walked in. "The patients in other rooms are asleep. You making noise like this, it's probably not good."
Feng Qishi looked at the nurse who was reminding them with a playful smile. "We'll rest immediately, right away."
The nurse didn't say anything and left.
Mu Anxiao pulled the blanket over himself. "I'll sleep here."
"You sleep on the bed," Feng Qishi said chivalrously.
Mu Anxiao closed his eyes and said no more.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao helplessly, sighed, and turned to Feng Feng, who had lain down after being spoken to. "Hurry up and rest."
"Okay," Feng Feng nodded and closed his eyes.
Feng Qishi cast a final glance at both Feng Feng and Mu Anxiao before resting as well.
Downstairs at the hospital, the wolf spirit was still unable to evade Zhang Yan and encountered his host body's mother.
"Let's go home," the host body's mother blocked the wolf spirit's path.
The wolf spirit glanced at Zhang Yan beside them and said, "No, I'm going to his place." He pointed at Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan looked helplessly at the host body's mother, unable to speak.
"You haven't been home for several days, Hu Yuan."
"You're called Hu Yuan," Zhang Yan turned his head to look at the wolf spirit.
The wolf spirit glanced at Zhang Yan and said impatiently, "Can you stop bothering me?"
"Have you been taking your medicine on time?" Hu Yuan's mother asked.
The wolf spirit looked at Hu Yuan's mother's face. "I'm all better, why should I take medicine? Are you annoying or not?"
"I... I don't know what I did to upset you, but I'm doing all this for your own good. Hu Yuan, please don't be angry anymore, okay?" Hu Yuan's mother looked at the wolf spirit, who was inhabiting Hu Yuan's body, with helplessness.
The wolf spirit listened to Hu Yuan's words and his body stiffened. He felt a sting in his nose. "I just want to be a healthy person. Why do you have to give me so much medicine? The doctor said I'm fine, why do you still want to give me medicine?"
Zhang Yan was stunned by the wolf spirit's heartfelt words.
"You've been weak since you were a child. Only with medication could you sustain your life. Before, Mom lied to you. That day, I really didn't mean to deceive you." Hu Yuan's mother took the wolf spirit's hand.
That day Hu Yuan's mother spoke of was the day the wolf spirit took the opportunity to enter Hu Yuan's body. Now, looking at Hu Yuan's mother's appearance and her hand holding his arm, the wolf spirit's heart tightened.
He lowered his head and his tone became heartless. "I've forgotten about what happened that day. From now on, I am no longer the Hu Yuan of the past. If possible, I hope you will sever ties with me."
Seeing such a cold-blooded side of the wolf spirit, and considering the fact that he would eventually leave, Zhang Yan reached out and pushed his back forcefully. "What are you joking about? This is your mother. It's not right for you to speak like this."
"What does this have to do with you?" The wolf spirit turned his head to look at Zhang Yan, asking coldly.
Zhang Yan felt a moment of awkwardness. "This has nothing to do with me, but you have no right to say that."
"This is my family matter. What business is it of yours, an outsider?"
"You..."
Just as Zhang Yan uttered a word, a voice entered his ear: This isn't me.
Startled, Zhang Yan lowered his gaze and asked mentally, "Are you the wolf spirit?"
I was pulled in by that kid. It's best if you don't interrupt now, lest you hurt our harmony. The wolf spirit said mentally.
Hearing this, Zhang Yan said no more.
Hu Yuan glared at Zhang Yan and looked at his mother again. "You've always said my illness could be cured since I was young. I've always believed you. Do you know..." He lowered his gaze and continued, "Do you know how bad it felt to be called sickly by my classmates? I want to be healthy, but you can't give it to me. I can only do it myself. From now on, I beg you to stop managing me, okay?"
The wolf spirit, inside Hu Yuan, clearly heard each of his hurtful words and chuckled.
Looking at Hu Yuan's heartless demeanor, Zhang Yan asked mentally, "Did you teach him this?"
The wolf spirit crossed his arms and looked at Zhang Yan through Hu Yuan's body. "I don't have that kind of ability. But speaking of which, why do I feel like I've been tricked?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Yan asked mentally.
"That day, I easily entered this body without any effort. I was wondering why the owner of this body didn't reject me. Now, hearing his words," the wolf spirit frowned. "I've really been set up."
"Can you tell me the specific details of that day?" Zhang Yan was curious.
The wolf spirit hesitated for a moment and said, "That day was very simple. I found those two evil spirits, had them find a hospital, and then I... entered his body."
"You're too casual."
"I didn't expect it to be so easy," the wolf spirit said helplessly.
"That's really casual. I think," Zhang Yan stared at Hu Yuan arguing with his mother and said, "You've met someone who understands something."
"I'm really confused now," the wolf spirit said helplessly.
Outside the body, Hu Yuan faced his mother. Tears streamed down the mother's face, and Hu Yuan stared at her coldly, saying, "Liar."
The mother lowered her head speechlessly.
At this moment, Zhang Yan and the wolf spirit were also at a loss for words.
Hu Yuan glared at his mother, then looked at Zhang Yan and asked, "Can you take me home?"
"Didn't you tell me not to bother you?"
"That was just me speaking in anger," Hu Yuan suddenly said.
Zhang Yan had thought the boy didn't recognize him, which was why he spoke that way. Now, seeing the boy's demeanor, he was completely engulfed in a whirlpool of doubt.
At the same time, the wolf spirit inside his body was also confused.
"Yuan Yuan," the mother called out Hu Yuan's nickname.
Hu Yuan glared at his mother, then grabbed Zhang Yan and left.
The mother, knowing she couldn't reason with Hu Yuan, called out, "Please take good care of him for me," and said no more.
Zhang Yan, not understanding her meaning, replied, "Okay."
Inside Hu Yuan, the wolf spirit remained utterly bewildered.
Returning to the courtyard, Hu Yuan consciously pointed to Zhang Yan's room and asked, "Can I stay with you?"
"You can, but you have to tell me clearly, did you do this on purpose?" Zhang Yan asked coldly.
"Yes, it was on purpose. Since childhood, I've been tormented by illness, died many times, and seen many strange things. I've also roughly understood your relationship with the wolf spirit from inside the body," Hu Yuan said frankly.
