The little demon and the big-headed fat demon smiled as they looked at Hu Yuan in better spirits.
"Master, you don't feel as bad, do you?" the little demon asked, stepping forward.
Hu Yuan threw off the covers, got out of bed, and said, "My legs can hold me now."
"That's great," the big-headed fat demon exclaimed excitedly.
The wolf demon, performing a spell among them, said, "With me here, I won't let you leave in pain."
Hearing this, Hu Yuan looked down at his chest and said, "Thank you."
"We're all friends here," the wolf demon said with a faint smile.
The big-headed fat demon and the little demon stepped forward together, looking at Hu Yuan with excitement and smiling.
"What are you two smiling about, are you silly?" Hu Yuan asked casually.
"Master, I'm happy for you, even though..." the little demon's eyes darkened slightly.
The big-headed fat demon nudged the little demon with his elbow and said, "Master, wherever you want to go, we'll accompany you."
"I want to run," Hu Yuan said.
"Run?" the big-headed fat demon was bewildered.
The little demon looked at Hu Yuan's face with understanding and nodded, "Okay, we're willing to run with you."
"I also want to go to school and attend physical education class," Hu Yuan added.
This time, the big-headed fat demon understood what Hu Yuan was saying and nodded, "Okay, we'll accompany you."
"I also want to eat lots of ice cream, spicy hot pot, stir-fried dishes, many things I can't normally eat, and I want to eat street food, barbecue, and junk food," Hu Yuan said excitedly.
"Okay, we'll accompany you," they said in unison.
Hu Yuan smiled.
At the same time, Hu Yuan's mother and the man walked into the room.
"Yuan Yuan," Hu Yuan's mother said in surprise.
Hu Yuan walked barefoot to his mother and said, "Mom, let's go out and play."
"Yuan Yuan, you're not feeling unwell anymore?" Hu Yuan's mother reached out and touched Hu Yuan's forehead, asking.
Hu Yuan smiled, took his mother's hand, and looked at the man, saying, "Our family of three... no," he glanced at his mother's belly, "a family of four, let's go out and have some fun."
"Yuan Yuan..."
"It's okay, Mom," Hu Yuan said, seeing his mother's worried expression. "I'm much better. I want to go out. Before I leave, I want to do things I haven't done. Please agree to my request."
"But your body... you can't," Hu Yuan's mother held Hu Yuan's arm tightly.
Hu Yuan said with a determined look, "Let's check out. I can do it, Mom... I don't want to wait here to die. I want to spend time with you one last time. This is my last wish. Please, grant it to me," he forced a smile, "will you?"
"Yuan..."
"I agree," the man said firmly.
Hu Yuan looked at the man and said with a smile, "Thank you, Dad."
"You're willing to call me that now, Yuan Yuan," the man said excitedly.
Hu Yuan nodded, "Yes, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here. Let's put aside past matters. Right now, we are a family. Also," he smiled, "don't call me Yuan Yuan, it feels too mushy."
"You rascal," the man chuckled.
Hu Yuan's mother smiled as she watched Hu Yuan and the man getting along harmoniously. "Yuan Yuan, put on your shoes, and Mom will arrange for you to be discharged."
"Okay," Hu Yuan nodded and turned to walk to the bed to put on his shoes.
"I'll go and handle the discharge. You spend some time with your son," the man said, bypassing Hu Yuan's mother and leaving the ward.
Hu Yuan's mother glanced at the man's retreating figure, then turned back to Hu Yuan and asked, "Yuan Yuan, if you don't like him, I can..."
"I always thought he was a jerk," Hu Yuan turned to his mother. "But when I think about how he came to find me for you, and how he accepted me for your sake, I suddenly feel that this man truly loves you. Of course, whether he truly loves me or not, I don't care anymore. As long as he is good to you, I will be at ease."
"Yuan Yuan," Hu Yuan's mother began to cry.
Hu Yuan walked up to his mother and patted her shoulder. "I don't like him, nor do I dislike him."
Hu Yuan's mother cried without speaking.
Hu Yuan said, "Don't cry. It's not good for your health."
"Yuan Yuan, Mom is really happy to see you like this," Hu Yuan's mother said, looking up at Hu Yuan.
Hu Yuan smiled. "Your happiness is more important than anything to me," he said, and then, after a moment of thought, added, "By the way, Mom, I want to go to school tomorrow."
"Okay, Mom promises," Hu Yuan's mother nodded.
The big-headed fat demon and the little demon were happy for Hu Yuan.
In hell, the female demon's sin had arrived. She would suffer the punishment of soul dispersal on the day Hu Yuan passed away, while the little demon and the big-headed fat demon would be punished and reincarnated after Hu Yuan's death.
"So that's that," the little follower said, standing in the middle of the bright white corridor of hell, looking at the yin messenger in a suit walking towards him.
The yin messenger in the suit walked up to the little follower and said, looking down, "I think you've grown up quite a bit."
"Really!" the little follower exclaimed excitedly.
The yin messenger in the suit reached out and patted the little follower's head, saying, "You're becoming more and more disrespectful when you speak to me."
"Mhm," the little follower nodded calmly.
"What do you mean by that?" the yin messenger in the suit squatted down and asked.
The little follower beckoned to the yin messenger in the suit and said, "Come down here, I want to tell you something."
"What is it?" the yin messenger in the suit asked, squatting down.
"I have some bad news for you, do you want to hear it?" the little follower placed his hand on the yin messenger's shoulder.
The yin messenger's eyes narrowed. "If it's bad news, then you don't have to tell me."
"No," the little follower shook his head and pressed down on the yin messenger's shoulder.
The yin messenger's brow furrowed. "Then why did you ask if I wanted to hear it?"
"I'm still a child," the little follower said.
The yin messenger rolled his eyes. "I've really had enough of you. When you're unreasonable, you always say you're a child, but you never admit it at other times."
The little follower gave a naive smile, then his expression suddenly turned serious. "Extend your hand."
"What for?" the yin messenger finally had an ominous premonition.
"Extend it, and I'll tell you," the little follower said in a childish tone.
The yin messenger took a deep breath and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then forget it. I don't want to hear it anyway." As he was about to get up, the little follower suddenly grabbed his hand, and he froze.
"Never mind, I'll tell you," the little follower said.
The yin messenger looked at his hand, which was tightly held by the little follower, and raised his chin.
The little follower smiled, "From today onwards, you are my partner."
"Huh?" the yin messenger looked confused.
"You don't understand?" the little follower asked.
The yin messenger's expression turned tense, and he shook his head slightly.
