    Liang Qian did not let An Yu interfere with the household registration matter, and only asked him to keep an eye on Shen Luo in the hospital.

    He went back home and rummaged through the cabinets to find out his household registration book. Finally, he hit on Liang Zheng’s safe. Taking advantage of the darkness, he sneaked into the study. The safe was placed on the bottom floor of the bookcase. It required a password and a key to open it at the same time. Liang Qian had already stolen the key, and he only needed the password to succeed.

    Just when he was trying the password, he suddenly felt a cool breeze passing by his back, lingering for a long time. Liang Qian slowly turned his head, and there was a terrifying face in his eyes. Liang Zheng was holding up a baseball bat.

    “Dad.”

    If this sound hadn’t woken him up, Liang Zheng’s stick would have been swung down. Liang Qian was carried to the living room by him. Guo Rui also came after hearing the sound. The father and son sat opposite each other. Guo Rui stretched and sat some distance away from the two of them. He looked at the father and son who stayed up most of the night and the baseball bat standing next to them. He said, “You stay up late at night playing baseball in the living room. Why don’t you go swimming in the Atlantic Ocean when you are so energetic?”

    As soon as he finished speaking, the stick immediately fell to the ground. Liang Zheng kicked it far away with a side kick. The clanging sound made everyone frown. Guo Rui looked at him angrily. Liang Zheng said aggrievedly: “You really don’t blame me. When I passed by the study, I heard something moving inside, and then I grabbed a weapon. Who would have thought that it was my son who was sneaking around.”

    Guo Rui didn’t comment much. He pursed his lips and turned to look at Liang Qian and asked, “What about you, why are you going to the study so late?”

    Before he could answer, Liang Zheng immediately interjected: “There is something in my safe that attracts you, so you want to steal it so late at night without sleeping.”

    Liang Qian knew that he was not easy to fool, and he also knew that they would not believe him even if he made excuses, so he had to tell the truth.

    “I’m looking for the household registration book.”

    Liang Zheng was confused, and Guo Rui imagined a drama in which he would not hesitate to steal his household registration to stay with love forever. His gossip heart was burning and he asked: “You won’t have a girlfriend outside, but you haven’t reached the legal age for marriage, so even if you get it, it will be in vain.”

    Liang Qian laughed angrily at his words and explained helplessly: “Mom, what are you thinking? The reason I want a household registration is because of Shen Luo.”

    “Xiao Luo?” Guo Ruixi remembered that it had been a long time since she had seen him, and continued, “What’s wrong with him?”

    Liang Qian told them everything about what happened to him. After hearing this, Liang Zheng punched the sofa with his fist, Guo Rui’s face became very solemn, and both of them felt sorry for Shen Luo.

    Guo Rui even choked up at one point. She said: “How could she be so cruel to her child? Xiao Luo is such a gentle child, but she was forced to be like this.”

    As he said this, Guo Rui was about to drive to her for a review, but Liang Zheng persuaded her to do so.

    “Mom——”

    “The most important thing now is to transfer Shen Luo’s household registration here first, and then get him discharged. Otherwise, when the person from the second hospital is arrested one day, we won’t be able to see him anymore.”

    Liang Zheng said angrily: “I’ll go tomorrow.”

    Guo Rui said firmly: “Such a good child, but she does not have this blessing. From tomorrow… oh no, from now on he will be our child.”

    Liang Zheng found someone to get things done early in the morning. Shen Luo was still called Shen Luo, and the thin household registration book became a thicker page.

    The moment Shen Meng didn’t see the household registration book, her heart skipped a beat. She looked through it for a long time but couldn’t find the ring. The hand holding the phone was trembling. He called Su Shangjun first.

    “Did you move the things I put in the bedside table?”

    Although it was a question, he had already been convicted secretly. Su Shangjun first said “Ah” in confusion, and then said: “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

    “Shangjun Su, did you touch my things?”

    Su Shangjun also lost his temper and said in a high-pitched voice, “No, no, aren’t you tired of being suspicious all day long?”

    Shen Meng said: “Suspicious? Did I wrongly accuse you when I discovered your shameless activities?”

    Her voice was also very powerful, and he could hear her clearly even if his ear was not close to the phone. He looked around guiltily, but fortunately there was no one around. He covered the phone and said angrily: “Can you not mention what happened back then? I have changed. Haven’t I tried my best to be a good husband and a good father over the years? Why do you always hold on to this matter? Why can’t you forget it?”

    “Am I still holding on to him?” Shen Meng asked him in grief, “Your son is also gay. As soon as I saw him, I remembered that night. No matter how you ask me to forget, I will never forget it in my life.”

    Su Shangjun was stunned when he heard this, and even felt a little guilty. He wanted to say something in defense but didn’t know how to say it. He could only let her cry and yell insults. When she regained her breath, she stiffly opened her mouth and asked: “…who did you say…who?”

    “Shen Luo, he is gay. How could he be gay? It’s all because of you.” Shen Meng cried heartbreakingly. Her hot tears were like burning a hole in her cell phone. There was full of regret between the lines. “If I had known that it was like this, I shouldn’t have let him be born. I actually gave birth to a gay. You think it’s ridiculous or sad.”

    Shen Meng was crying and laughing, as if he was crazy.

    Su Shangjun did not answer her words. He who was originally eloquent suddenly became mute. He was silent for a while before replying: “I have never entered your room, nor have I touched your things.”

    Then he hung up the phone in a hurry, leaving Shen Meng alone to cry to the empty phone screen.
