The Landlady and The Amnesiac – Chapter 50

Fang Jingzhou is really just a child. Even though he was extremely angry at Zhou Jianguo while they were in the car, as soon as they got off, he had forgotten about it. He held hands with Luo Bei on one hand and with Zhou Jianguo on the other. All three of them were good-looking, so people who didn’t know better would think they were a family of three. The only thing was that the mother looked too young.

There was an amusement park in the city, and even though it was a holiday and the crowds were massive, it didn’t dampen Fang Jingzhou and Luo Bei’s good mood.

Zhou Jianguo wasn’t interested in anything, so he just sat on the side with their bags waiting.

But seeing Fang Jingzhou and Luo Bei sitting on the carousel, one big and one small, he took out his phone and kept taking pictures, trying to capture the beautiful moments.

Lunch was also taken care of at the KFC in the amusement park. Fang Jingzhou was playing so much that his hair was sweaty, but fortunately, Mother Chen mother was attentive and prepared a sweat towel. Otherwise, with this kind of play, it would be easy for children to get sweaty and catch a cold. Zhou Jianguo looked at the hamburger and cola on his plate and struggled.

In the end, because he was hungry, he had no choice but to finish the big hamburger in a few bites. He really didn’t understand how this kind of food could have a market.

It’s not even cheap, after all, a hamburger in a fast food restaurant costs more than ten yuan.

Fang Jingzhou really liked to eat French fries and swayed his body while eating.

He had changed a lot since the first time he met Luo Bei. At that time, he was a quiet and sensible little boy, but now he has become more lively and outgoing. It is evident that Father Chen and Mother Chen have given him a lot of love, otherwise he wouldn’t be like this.

However…

According to Mother Chen, he still sleeps with the lights on every night, or else he will be very scared.

Luo Bei told Mother Chen about Chen Lan’s behavior towards Fang Jingzhou. Although Jingzhou is still young, it cannot be denied that Chen Lan’s behavior has left a deep shadow on him.

“Beibei, I’ll tell you, the teacher said I’m very smart, and I’ll definitely be able to go to a good school in the future.” Fang Jingzhou is a chatterbox in front of Luo Bei, sharing everything he can remember with her, afraid of missing something. “I’ve already decided, I’ll go to college at your city in the future, so I can see you every day. The teacher said that after going to college, I can make money. Beibei, you can think about what you want as a gift, and I’ll buy it for you when the time comes.”

Zhou Jianguo drank Coke and watched these two people being affectionate, thinking that Fang Jingzhou might see Luo Bei as a mother figure.

Of course, this is understandable. Having such a biological mother who neglected and didn’t love him for years, finally having someone who is so good to him is like imprinting, but he has transferred the emotions from his mother to Luo Bei.

Luo Bei patted Fang Jingzhou’s little head, looking moved, “Okay, so before you make money, if there’s anything you want, I can buy it for you as a gift.”

Fang Jingzhou said somewhat embarrassedly, “I want to take a photo with Beibei. The teacher said that every child should bring their favorite photo to put on the classroom wall.”

“Okay.”

Luo Bei was able to fulfill this small request. After the three of them finished lunch, they walked around a small shop in the amusement park and bought three cute cartoon headbands. Fang Jingzhou wore one with a chicken, Luo Bei wore one with a rabbit, and Zhou Jianguo refused to wear one. But Luo Bei ignored him and simply lifted her heels to put a bear headband on him.

Nowadays, taking photos with mobile phones and printing them is very convenient. Even small vendors have them, and some shopping mall restaurants have machines that print photos for free.

The three of them took many photos and also asked other visitors to take a few group photos for them.

Fang Jingzhou sat on Zhou Jianguo’s shoulder and made a scissor gesture, while Ruo Bei leaned her head against Zhou Jianguo’s shoulder and also made a scissor gesture…

Only Zhou Jianguo looked expressionless at the camera.

When the female tourist was returning the phone to Luo Bei, she praised, “Miss, your son and husband are so handsome! Your family’s looks are all super high.”

Luo Bei was about to explain, but Fang Jingzhou, this little guy, had already spoken up ahead of her, “Really? Sister, you are also super pretty!”

Zhou Jianguo and Luo Bei: “…………”

After the tourist left, Zhou Jianguo said, “Kid, you got away with it this time.”

After spending some time with Zhou Jianguo, Fang Jingzhou also started to become talkative. “Actually, you took advantage of me. She said you were my dad.”

Luo Bei weakly raised her hand, “But I am both a mother and a wife, isn’t that more unfair?”

Fang Jingzhou hugged Luo Bei’s waist. “Don’t want Uncle Xiao Zhou, he doesn’t care about Beibei.”

Zhou Jianguo retorted, “How can you say that I don’t care about her?”

Fang Jingzhou immediately remembered what happened in the car, “You said you wanted Beibei to go out to work, but you stayed home to play.”

Zhou Jianguo rubbed his chin, “In that case, when you make money in the future, you can go out to work, and Beibei and I will stay home and play. You can support us, okay?”

Fang Jingzhou scoffed, “Why should I support you?”

“Just now someone said that I am your dad,” Zhou Jianguo continued to take advantage without any hesitation, “Isn’t it natural for a son to support his dad?”

Fang Jingzhou snorted, “You’re not my dad.”

Luo Bei was annoyed by the two of them arguing, “Alright, alright, let’s stop talking about this and go on playing!”

This Zhou Jianguo, when he’s with Fang Jingzhou, he’s always deliberately trying to irritate him, wanting to see him get angry. He’s really childish!


The day went by very productively, and they even had dinner in the city.

Luo Bei drove Zhou Jianguo and Fang Jingzhou to the downstairs of their building. She didn’t go up with them, too tired. She went back to the hotel, took a shower, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

On the other side, Mother Chen tidied up the guest room. Zhou Jianguo and Fang Jingzhou took a shower together, and they spent quite some time joking around in the bathroom. When Zhou Jianguo returned to the room and was about to sleep, Fang Jingzhou came in wearing only a tank top and shorts.

Zhou Jianguo yawned, “You’re still so energetic even after playing all day. Why aren’t you going to bed? What do you want with me?”

Fang Jingzhou quickly climbed onto the bed and sat down next to Zhou Jianguo, asking seriously, “Uncle Xiao Zhou, do you like Beibei?”

Zhou Jianguo: “……….”

Although he doesn’t have any romantic feelings for Luo Bei at the moment, he nodded to annoy Fang Jingzhou, “Yeah, I like her.”

Fang Jingzhou let out a sigh, “Can you answer a few questions for me? Then I’ll decide whether or not to speak well of you in front of Beibei.”

“I don’t need you to speak well of me,” said Zhou Jianguo indifferently.

“Then can you answer a few questions for me?” said Fang Jingzhou, frustrated.

“Go ahead, ask away. But after you’re done, go to sleep quickly,” Zhou Jianguo teased him. “If you don’t sleep early, you won’t grow tall. If your Beibei is bullied, you won’t be able to beat anyone up.”

Fang Jingzhou was once again left speechless. He was silent for a moment before continuing, “Will you treat Beibei well?”

“What do you mean by ‘well’?” Zhou Jianguo perked up and chatted with this little guy.

“You won’t hit her, you won’t scold her, you won’t be mean to her.”

Zhou Jianguo : “Don’t worry, I’m a civilized person. Besides, she’s a girl. What kind of man would I be if I hit and scolded her?”

Fang Jingzhou felt a little reassured. “So, will you kiss her, hug her, and buy her delicious food?”

Zhou Jianguo :“… Buy good food? Your Beibei is rich. She can buy whatever she wants without relying on a man. Jingzhou, Beibei is capable, she can get what she wants on her own, no need to rely on others.”

“Is that so?” asked Fang Jingzhou, somewhat confused.

“Yes, don’t underestimate your Beibei.”

Fang Jingzhou seemed to understand but not quite, “Uncle Xiao Zhou, even though I’m not as tall as you and can’t beat you, if you bully Beibei, I’ll remember it. When I can beat you, you’ll be in trouble. So you have to be very, very good to Beibei.”

Zhou Jianguo patted his chest and exaggeratedly said, “I’m so scared, I know, I know.”

“You have to kiss her, hug her, and protect her,” Fang Jingzhou emphasized again. “Good night kiss and morning kiss are very important!”

“Kid, you better go to bed or you’ll never grow tall enough to beat me. I’ll bully your Beibei every day.”

Fang Jingzhou glared at him angrily but still obediently crawled into his own room to sleep.

Zhou Jianguo thought this kid was really protective of Luo Bei.

Not a biological son, but better than a biological son!

He turned off the lights, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

Zhou Jianguo usually had high-quality sleep and rarely had dreams, but today he had a dream about Luo Bei. Not only that, they were very close to each other, her fair skin and delicate features were all in his eyes.

He approached her mischievously and kissed her lips, which were as soft as jelly. The feeling lingered…

When he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, his heart was still beating fast, almost bursting out of his chest.

He rubbed his chest and thought of the wonderful feeling and experience in his dream, feeling completely confused for a moment.

After getting dressed, he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and he happened to meet Fang Jingzhou, who had just woken up to pee.

Suddenly, Zhou Jianguo put down his toothbrush, messed up Fang Jingzhou’s little head, and pinched his chubby cheeks before he was satisfied.

If it wasn’t for this kid who kept talking about kissing and such words before bedtime, would he have had such a dream?

“You’re really causing trouble for others, kid.”

After thinking about it, Luo Bei was still his good friend, dreaming of being so intimate with a good friend, it was really…

“Sinful, sinful.” Zhou Jianguo whispered “Amitabha” and tried to make himself more pure and free of desire.

  1. Lol. Blaming the kid for your dereliction. You know the kid’s knowledge of intimacy was limited to the idol drama on TV he watched with Grandma Luo (and maybe with Mother Chen too). 😅😅😅
