Chapter 239: Chapter 173: Are You Planning to Cultivate into an Androgynous Being?_2
"Mom, I’m going over to Haohao’s place."
Su Nian poked her head out from the kitchen: "Going to Haohao’s again? If Aunt Qiuqiu isn’t home, what about your sister?"
Su Bao was already changing his shoes: "I can’t possibly be expected to sleep with her for the rest of my life, I have things to do at Haohao’s."
Su Nian looked at him, busy with matters: "Can you tell me what you two four-year-olds are busy with all day?"
"Don’t worry about it, I’m leaving." Saying that, he had already shut the door and left.
The next second, Su Zhen’s anxious voice followed: "Wah, Mom, Su Bao is bullying me..."
"Alright, alright, quickly put on your shoes, Mom will sleep with you tonight."
At four years old, Su Nian felt that she was already somewhat out of control, what would happen when she grew up just a little more?
"Go and take your bath, Mom will help you with your homework."
Su Zhen, clutching her fluffy pajamas, walked into the bathroom, Su Nian tidied up the living room a bit, when she heard a "bang" from the toilet, followed by Su Zhen’s shout: "Ah! Mom, I can’t see anything!"
Su Nian hurried over, Su Zhen ran out naked, Su Nian grabbed a towel to wrap her up, and looked up toward the bathroom, tried the light switch, but it was still pitch dark.
"The light bulb is broken." Su Nian muttered to herself, then said to her daughter: "Wait here for me, Mom is going to buy a light bulb."
Su Zhen thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, but you have to come back quickly, Mom!"
"I know. Don’t run around, and don’t open the door for strangers, got it?"
No sooner had Su Nian left than Su Zhen, wrapped in her towel, ran to the balcony, pressing the buzzer by the balcony.
A few seconds later, the balcony door opposite opened, and Shen Hanxiu walked out: "What’s up? Has your mom bullied you again?"
"It’s not that, our light bulb is broken, Uncle, can you fix it? Uncle Liang used to fix it for us."
"Where’s your mom?"
"She went to buy a light bulb."
Shen Hanxiu thought it was a minor issue, seeing his daughter wrapped only in a small towel in the cold weather, he quickly urged: "Uncle will come right over, go inside and put on some clothes, or you might catch a cold."
Su Nian drove to find a supermarket, feeling a bit clueless encountering such matters for the first time. After interacting with the store clerk, she also inquired about how to change a light bulb.
When she got home and opened the door, she heard her daughter’s giggles, Su Nian’s heart felt a bit uneasy, what was there to laugh about when she was alone at home?
Only when she was bending down to change shoes did she freeze, what’s with these men’s leather shoes? Had Liang Yizhou come back?
She rushed to the children’s room, only to see Su Zhen, wearing a gray bear pajama, sitting in Shen Hanxiu’s lap playing a game.
"Why are you here?"
Shen Hanxiu looked up, unhurriedly spoke: "Your daughter called me, saying the light bulb was broken."
Su Nian glared at Su Zhen, now any trivial issues seem to involve her Uncle Shen.
"Mom, Uncle Liang isn’t here, can we let Uncle Shen help us change the light bulbs from now on?"
"I can fix it myself, stop playing games, go do your homework."
With that, Su Nian took the new light bulb and headed to the bathroom.
She turned on the flashlight feature of her phone, climbed on a little stool ready to start the work herself, when suddenly a warm body pressed up against her from behind...
Startled, Su Nian almost fell off the stool: "What are you doing?!"
Shen Hanxiu did not speak, in the darkness only the phone’s flashlight emitted a spot of light.
He raised his hand and snatched the light bulb from her, easily reaching it.
Su Nian turned to look at him, the familiar scent of his perfume mixed with a light smell of tobacco, unsettling her heart...
The light flickered a few times, then suddenly came on, Shen Hanxiu looked down at her.
Su Nian’s expression faltered, she hurriedly bowed her head, stepping forward.
"Not only does a child need a father, you also need a man," he said.
Su Nian averted her gaze and said lightly: "I don’t need one, I’m enough by myself!"
As soon as the words fell, the bathroom darkened again, then he handed her the light bulb he had removed and said: "Then you do it yourself."
Without giving Su Nian time to react, he walked out, leaving her so angry she wanted to throw the light bulb at him.
I’ll do it myself then! She wouldn’t ask him for help!
Back on the stool, one hand holding the phone for light, the other screwing in the light bulb.
It seemed so easy when he did it, it was done in an instant, so why was it different in her hands? She couldn’t align it after ages.
Shen Hanxiu hadn’t left, but rather leaned against the bathroom door, watching like a delighted spectator.
After a few minutes of struggle, Su Nian successfully screwed in the light bulb and stepped down, clapped her hands and looked up to see Shen Hanxiu.
She rolled her eyes and pretended she didn’t see him, striding out.
Shen Hanxiu smiled, "Are you trying to be androgynous?"
Su Nian put down the stool, "That’s my business, you can leave now, and next time, no matter what Su Zhen says, please ignore it."
"She’s my daughter, you have no right to interfere with the fatherly love I should give, right?"
"She’s not your daughter!"
Shen Hanxiu looked at her with interest: "Then tell me whose she is."
Su Nian also smiled: "There’s something you don’t know..." She paused, then continued, "Before I met you, I loved another man."
Shen Hanxiu wasn’t angry: "Is that so? Please, do tell."
"I knew him when I was five years old, we grew up together, childhood sweethearts, you know?"
Hearing this, Shen Hanxiu smiled deeply, so she still remembered him: "Impressive, you even had a childhood sweetheart, so where did your sweetheart go? Where is he now?"
Su Nian also wanted to know this question, actually, she had only spent one year with that childhood sweetheart, after which he disappeared, leaving no news, and never returned to that small town.
"He’s now a big businessman!"
Shen Hanxiu teased her interest: "Tell me his name, he might be an acquaintance of mine."
"Pfft! He’s abroad now! You wouldn’t know him if I told you!"
"So you’re saying, Su Zhen and Su Bao are his children?"
"Exactly!" Only by naming someone who can’t show up can the lie remain intact, little did she know Shen Hanxiu knew the full truth.
Because her childhood sweetheart and he are the same person.
