It was another sleepless night.

Su Jingyang tossed and turned on the bed. He lifted the quilt and got up, turning on the lamp, and sitting in front of his desk to play video games. He stared at the glowing screen of the computer intently, mechanically moving his hands. It's been more than half a month since he came back, and he had spent almost all his nights like this.

His body was extremely tired, but he couldn't sleep. At night, he would either wake up to watch TV, play games, or walk around his small living room in a daze. He felt like his heart had been hollowed out. He could only force himself to close his eyes for a while before dawn, and then simply clean up and go to work.

Su Jingyang was sluggish, his colleagues quickly noticed the dark circles under his eyes and asked him about it. No one believed him when he told them the truth, and no one could help him. Only a wound on his neck that came from being scratched by his youngest son served as a reminder to him. He was thrown into a different world by the system and spent almost seven years with Rong Ci. It was all real, yes, it wasn't just a dream he had after passing out in the pantry.

Time in this world advanced steadily without any abnormality. His female colleagues still talked about the pregnant woman who jumped from a building from time to time, sighing to themselves. Su Jingyang listened silently. Suddenly, there was a sensation of pain in his throat, his chest became stuffy. Nowadays, he would feel like this whenever hearing about such a topic.

He spent a few more days like a soulless man. It was the weekend, and he wandered around his home for a long time. Finally, took his coat and went to the nearby square. The sun shone down on him, Su Jingyang found a bench and sat down. He watched the people come and go in a daze. After staring for a long time, his eyes gradually lost focus.

There was the noise and laughter of children, the soothing music for practising Tai Chi, and the crying of babies. Everything was full of vigour and vitality, only he was sitting here alone, like a dead tree, his heart was barren.

At that moment, a young mother pushing a twin set stroller sat on the empty spot next to him. She then hurriedly took off the bulging shoulder bag and began to change the baby's diapers.

Su Jingyang's lips moved slightly, and he subtly straightened up, staring at the two children in the stroller. Both seemed to be boys, they looked more or less five to six months old.

Su Jingyang thought of his twins. After returning to Rongcheng, he was obviously unhappy. The two children came over to accompany him after finishing their studies to make him laugh, they were undeniably well-behaved and caring. Su Jingyang's heart suddenly became extremely painful, to the point where he couldn't breathe.

The child didn't urinate, but he had defecated and there was a foul smell. The young mother tidied up while blushing and apologising to Su Jingyang who was looking towards her: "I'm sorry, so sorry, I'm going to finish soon."

Su Jingyang smiled lightly, he said, "It's okay."

She still seemed to be uneasy and apologised to him several more times. Su Jingyang said: "It's really fine, don't worry about me¹."

After the young mother finished changing the baby's diapers, the other one cried out with pursed lips. He should've been hungry if not soaked with pee, so she had to hug the baby and coax him. But she couldn't coax him well enough, the more the child cried, the louder he was, eventually, the other one also joined in.

She was afraid of disturbing Su Jingyang, carrying a backpack with one hand, and holding a child in one other. She was preparing to leave with the stroller when Su Jingyang said, "There's no other place available, sit down, I also have children at home, and they cry harder than yours."
