After Losing His Memory, He Became a Widowed Dad Raising a Child

Lin Shi wakes up in a cramped, dilapidated room with no memories. Beside the bed, a chubby little child squats there, sucking on a finger and gazing at him with sparkling eyes, calling him Little Daddy.

A huge black-and-white portrait hangs on the yellowed wall. A peerlessly handsome man smiles tenderly. The child says that's Big Daddy, Lin Shi's husband, who died two months ago.

From his late husband's memoir, their marriage certificate, family photos, chat records, and other evidence, Lin Shi concludes that before losing his memory, he had been completely in love with his deceased husband.

Looking at the adorable child before him, Lin Shi quickly accepts his identity as a down-and-out young widower.

It's just that this world seems a little different.

The debt collector who comes to the door in the daytime has clearly received his money, but at night his whole face appears pressed against Lin Shi's window, saying things like, "You smell so good. I want to eat you."

The vicious wealthy relatives who came to kick him while he was down are so angry their faces turn green, but at night they blush and ask if they can sleep under his bed.

Most importantly, his late husband's portrait changes expression every day.

Deep in debt, Lin Shi insists on cooking every day to save money.

The child, growing thinner by the day, clutches Lin Shi's leg and begs, "Little Daddy, I'm not a piggy. I want food people eat."

Lin Shi dumps all the ingredients into the pot without blinking.

He calmly tells the child, "This is people food."

The child hesitates. "Daddy, actually, I'm not human."

One day, an accident leads Lin Shi into a strange place.

There, he sees his dead husband and the child who should be fast asleep at home...

The man is feeding the child, who takes a huge bite out of a mass of writhing black tentacles. The child's face and hands are covered in black grime. When he sees Lin Shi, he hurriedly gulps it down, curls into a ball, and picks at his fingers without daring to speak.

The father and child stare at him nervously.

Lin Shi says mildly, "Did you wash your hands?"

"No."

Lin Shi says, "Remember next time. If you eat with dirty hands, you'll get a stomachache."

After Lin Shi goes to find water to wash the child's face and hands...

Father and son exchange a smile. Thank goodness, he only scolded them. He didn't abandon them.

The child tugs at the man's clothes. "I want more."

Wen Qingzhuo raises an eyebrow. "Doesn't he usually feed you?"

The child says quietly, "This tastes better than Little Daddy's cooking."
