"..." Fu Hengzhi's gaze shifted from the book to the back of the other person's head, his eyes narrowing slightly, sensing that something was a little off.
Logically speaking, the other person used to play games on speakerphone most of the time, but in the past few days at the hospital, they have been wearing headphones every time, and this time it's no exception after they came back.
Still so gentle? Something's wrong.
The game had been going on for over twenty minutes, and Zhou Zhou's actions were becoming increasingly frantic, with the objective shifting from killing the enemy to pushing down towers.
Perhaps because of rescuing people from the water, Zhou Zhou had just taken a hot shower, and now the alternating hot and cold temperatures were making her stomach uncomfortable.
Zhou Zhou stopped talking and focused on the game. The enemy crystal was down to half health, while the remaining two members of his team were wiped out by the resurrected enemy heroes.
"..." Seeing the gray screen, Zhou Zhou gave up. Whatever, he couldn't wait any longer.
Zhou Zhou got up and ran to the bathroom. After the other person disappeared from his sight, Fu Hengzhi looked at the computer screen again.
Fu Hengzhi raised an eyebrow. It seems like the fight isn't over yet?
Fu Hengzhi was still unsure, so he put down the book and went to the computer. All the other heroes were in the game, but Zhou Zhou's hero was AFK in the fountain.
"..." Fu Hengzhi glanced at the bathroom light, pondered for a moment, sat down in front of the computer, and put on the other person's headphones.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Where are you?" A soft, feminine voice suddenly rang in his ears. Fu Hengzhi frowned, but did not make any further moves.
Sweetie: "Hey, hey, hey, little brother~"
Fu Hengzhi: "..."
Fu Hengzhi remained silent, seemingly trying to confirm whether the other party was speaking to him.
Sweetie: "Little brother~ um...boyfriend~"
Fu Hengzhi: "???"
Sweetie: "I'm not getting any response when I call you like this, so~ honey?"
Fu Hengzhi: "!!!"

Chapter 48 What if it's a telecom fraud?
=======================================
Fu Hengzhi felt a nameless fire rising in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe, when he heard "husband" coming through his earpiece.
No wonder, no wonder the other party asked him if what he said before still counted, no wonder they would ask that question.
So these past few days he's been bringing her food, sleeping on her small bed, and taking care of her, while she's been spending her days in the game with other women, right?
Before his last shred of reason was completely drained, Fu Hengzhi calmed down.
No, it's not necessarily like that.
Perhaps it was just wishful thinking on the part of the girl; at least he never heard any ambiguous words from Zhou Zhou.
Fu Hengzhi stared at the character AFK in the fountain on the game interface, watching the hero's health bar drop sharply as they attacked the inhibitor turret, and then his own crystal suddenly exploded.
The game is over.
The noise from the headset stopped, and after returning to the game interface, a dialog box popped up in the lower right corner of the computer.
-Sweetie: Where is everyone? Where is everyone?
-Sweetie: The internet is bad~
- Sweetie: [Cat peeking out].jpg
"..." Fu Hengzhi hadn't expected Zhou Zhou to log into WeChat on the computer. It seemed that the other party didn't have the habit of taking their phone with them when they went to the bathroom, and their phone was left on the table.
Fu Hengzhi didn't reply. Instead, he checked their chat history. Only after confirming that Zhou Zhou wasn't entangled with the girl on the other end did Fu Hengzhi feel relieved.
"Phew." Life's ups and downs happen so fast. Fu Hengzhi, like a wife who makes wild guesses about her husband's social interactions, instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Feel free to delete the other person from your friends list.
He also casually deleted the game friend and blacklisted the other person.
I only did these two things and didn't interfere with anything else.
Zhou Zhou came out of the bathroom, wiping the water droplets off his hands, and immediately spotted Fu Hengzhi, who was sitting in front of his computer, staring at the screen with a gloomy face.
"..." Zhou Zhou suddenly had a bad feeling. He accurately threw the crumpled paper in his hand into the wastebasket and slowly approached it.
"you……"
"The person calling you 'husband' on your phone doesn't seem like a good person. I've deleted them for you."
"Are you being polite?" Before Zhou Zhou could finish speaking, Fu Hengzhi had already prejudged him, and without even thinking about who would call him that on his phone, he just felt that the other person was invading his privacy.
But upon closer reflection, she exclaimed in shock, "How did you know my phone password?"
"I don't know." Fu Hengzhi glanced at him indifferently and pointed to the computer, saying, "You're also logged into WeChat here."
"Who did he delete... Aside from my female fans, who else calls me that?" Zhou Zhou still didn't quite understand who he had deleted. Anyway, there were only a few people on his friend list, so he picked up his phone and glanced at them.
"..." The girl that Wang Kunxiang introduced to him disappeared.
Seeing Tian Tian disappear from his friend list, Zhou Zhou felt guilty, even though he knew there was nothing between them. He felt like he had been caught cheating.
Who knows if Fu Hengzhi talked to the other party, or what they talked about?
Why is this girl calling out to people randomly... no, why is Fu Hengzhi looking at his messages randomly?
"There's nothing between her and me, why are you deleting people as friends?" Zhou Zhou sat on the foot of the bed with his phone in his hand, thinking that his chat history had probably been thoroughly searched, but he couldn't muster any anger. Feeling guilty and helpless, he calmly said, "The other person is Wang Kunxiang's girlfriend's best friend, how is she not a good person?"
The expected angry reaction didn't materialize, which saved him a lot of trouble. Knowing that the other party was more responsive to gentle persuasion than force, Fu Hengzhi persisted in his argument, insisting, "I saw when you two added each other as friends. It's only been half a month and you're already calling someone else 'husband.' It's obvious you're not a respectable person."
"It was probably just a joke. I've never called her that before." Zhou Zhou started thinking about how to explain to Wang Kunxiang that he had deleted the girl twice.
As for friends, there's no need to add any more. Not only does he have no feelings for the other person, but Fu Hengzhi probably wouldn't want to either.
Fu Hengzhi was unwilling... Zhou Zhou looked up at Fu Hengzhi, who was sitting on the chair looking sullen, but the other person kept his eyes downcast and focused on his thoughts.
He seemed like a completely different person from the dignified, shrewd, and capable CEO he was during the day.
"Pfft." Zhou Zhou couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Fu Hengzhi looked up and saw Zhou Zhou fiddling with her phone, and he became anxious again.
Do you want to add it back?
Fu Hengzhi calmed himself down, moved to the side next to Zhou Zhou, and placed his large hand on the other's phone screen. When Zhou Zhou looked over, he frowned slightly and said slowly, "What if it's a telecom scam? You seem to like her quite a bit."
"No, you're really going too far..." Zhou Zhou was amused by his words, her lips curling up for a long time. "This is excessive. I've already deleted that girl twice now, including this time. Regardless of what kind of person she is, I need to explain to Wang Kunxiang."
"Oh." And this wasn't just once today; Fu Hengzhi's expression softened considerably upon hearing this. "So, are you still adding her back?"
"No more."
"Hmm, be good." Fu Hengzhi was satisfied, and after moving his hand away, he secretly sized up the other person.
Their actions were furtive, but their eyes made no attempt to hide their feelings. Zhou Zhou could see it out of the corner of her eye. She pursed her lips and suppressed a smile. Not only did she not feel any resentment, but she actually thought that the current way they were getting along was quite good.
Zhou Zhou and Wang Kunxiang had barely exchanged a few words online when the other party called. When Zhou Zhou answered the phone, he subconsciously glanced at Fu Hengzhi, hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked to the balcony, closing the sliding glass door before answering the call.
"No, Zhou, what's going on?" Wang Kunxiang asked, sounding frustrated and somewhat confused. "You've deleted those girls twice now, and my girlfriend is angry."
"Sorry, sorry. Please apologize to the girl for me. I'll treat them to a meal when I have time." Zhou Zhou turned around and happened to see Fu Hengzhi turning his head away. "...I won't add him as a friend. Fu Hengzhi isn't happy about this."
"No, let him be unhappy if he's unhappy. You two are in a marriage of convenience and you still care about it... damn?" Wang Kunxiang suddenly realized, "Zhou, you haven't fallen for Fu Hengzhi, have you?"
"No way, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." For some reason, Zhou Zhou's heart skipped a beat when she heard the word 'like,' and her voice unconsciously grew louder and louder, "I'm straight! Really!"
"Okay, okay, I was just talking nonsense." Wang Kunxiang couldn't see Zhou Zhou in person, and hearing his intense tone, he thought Zhou Zhou was angry, so he quickly changed his words, "Then what are you going to do in the future? Are you happy?"
After calming down from her initial excitement, Zhou Zhou listened to the words and seriously considered them, saying, "I'm doing just fine now."
"If you think it's good, then that's fine. I'll just consider it a trial run for you, brother." Since the person involved has already agreed, it wouldn't be right for him to interfere any further.
"Thanks, bro. What about your girlfriend...?"
“She’s fine over there, she’ll just buy a bag and go over there.” Wang Kunxiang casually remarked, “Speaking of which, young girls’ bags these days are really expensive, some costing hundreds of thousands.”
"..." Zhou Zhou became wary, recalling Fu Hengzhi's earlier 'joke,' and alarm bells went off. She asked again, "Are you going to buy it and deliver it directly to them?"
"How would I know anything about these things?" Wang Kunxiang said bluntly, "I'll transfer the money to her so she can buy it herself. Okay, I'm not going to say anything more. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm going to bed early. You should also get some rest since you just got out of the hospital. Goodnight."
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Zhou started to panic, but he couldn't say such things without evidence. For now, he could only remind him in another way and think about the rest more carefully tomorrow.
"Hey, I recently discovered a really useful app, why don't you download it and check it out?"
"Sure," Wang Kunxiang said casually, then asked, "What software is it?"
"National Anti-Fraud Center APP..."
[Author's Note: Zhou Zhou: You must be incredibly accurate at pretending to be a werewolf when you're the seer, right?]
Fu Hengzhi: I'm talking nonsense... No, I'm very accurate.

Chapter Forty-Nine: Putting Your Mind at Ease
=============================
After ending the call, Zhou Zhou sighed and went back to his room, where he saw Fu Hengzhi sitting on the edge of the bed, gazing at him affectionately.
Zhou Zhou then remembered that the two of them were going to sleep in the same bed after they got home.
This is way beyond the scope of the curriculum. How can he possibly sleep in the same bed with a man who likes him? What if something happens? What shouldn't he say...?
"Are you done talking?" Fu Hengzhi asked. "Did he blame you?"
What a gentle tone.
Zhou Zhou sighed inwardly, even so, she still spoke her mind.
"Mr. Fu, are you sleeping here tonight...?"
As soon as the words were spoken, he knew what the other person meant. Fu Hengzhi's smile froze on his face, and he instantly put on a wronged expression.
I know what you're thinking, and I understand. After all, I like you, but you don't like me.
Fu Hengzhi picked up his pillow, his voice soft but loud enough for the other person to hear, "I know you might not believe me even if I explain, but as long as you feel at ease, I'm willing to rest in the guest room..."
