Going back to being twenty, taking her heartbroken son to a massage parlor.

Grassland retreat?

Isn't this his ex-wife's group of four best friends?

Is the world really that small?

This is too much of a coincidence.

Looking at the little girl staring at him with pleading eyes and a wronged expression, Su Mu suddenly felt a strange sensation.

I wonder whose daughter this girl is.

He cleared his throat and asked tentatively.

"Um, if I may ask, is your unreliable biological mother named Guo Rong? Or Liao Yaqin?"

Lin Zhiting was still immersed in the sadness of being abandoned by her mother when she heard these words and was suddenly shocked, her eyes widening in surprise.

"How did you know?!"

"My mom's name is Guo Rong! I also know Liao Yaqin; she's my mom's best friend, I call her Aunt Liao!"

Su Mu sighed, reached out and rubbed Lin Zhiting's little head, his eyes filled with a kind of compassionate sympathy.

"Girl, don't be surprised."

"Brother, you and I are both in the same boat, suffering the same fate."

"You were abandoned by your unreliable biological mother, while I..."

Su Mu pointed to himself.

"I was abandoned by my wife."

"My ex-wife is your Aunt Jiang Yiyao."

The air fell silent for two seconds.

Lin Zhiting blinked twice, her brain seemingly processing the enormous amount of information at lightning speed.

Jiang Yiyao?

That pretty auntie who often comes to my house to complain about her husband to my mom?

next second.

"Pfft—hahahahaha!"

Lin Zhiting burst into laughter without any regard for her image.

She clutched her stomach, laughing so hard she was shaking uncontrollably. Her original shy, coy demeanor had vanished, replaced by a carefree and cheerful laugh.

They even laughed until tears welled up in their eyes.

"Oh my god, this is hilarious!"

"So you're the legendary... Uncle Su Mu?"

"No, no, you can't call me uncle. You're so handsome, you should call me brother."

Lin Zhiting smiled as she looked Su Mu up and down.

That look in his eyes sent chills down Su Mu's spine.

"What are you laughing at?"

Su Mu flicked her forehead in an annoyed tone.

"You know I'm your elder, so why don't you behave yourself?"

"Since our two families are so destined to meet, I won't try to woo you anymore. You should go back to your dorm."

"No, no, no! Keep soaking!!"

Lin Zhiting grabbed Su Mu's arm and pressed herself against him, as if afraid he would run away.

With a sly smile on her face, she leaned close to Su Mu's ear, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously.

"Brother Su Mu, I've heard so much about you, your name is legendary."

I often hear my mom and Aunt Jiang talking about you.

Su Mu raised an eyebrow.

Mention him?

I doubt they'll have anything nice to say.

When the group of women got together, all they did was compare their handbags and jewelry and complain about their men.

In their mouths, there isn't a single good man in the world; they're all just useless good-for-nothings who can only breathe.

Su Mu crossed his arms and looked at her with great interest.

"Oh? What did you say about me?"

"Should I be handsome and dashing, or should I be a devoted family man who loves his wife and is the perfect husband?"

Lin Zhiting suppressed a laugh and held up three slender white fingers, waving them in front of him.

"They said..."

"You look tall and strong, but you're all show and no substance."

"What do you mean by 'it won't work in three minutes and three seconds'? You've only been gone a short while and you're already yelling 'Don't move!'"

"You always say you look tall and imposing, but you're just a show-off."

Su Mu's smile froze instantly.

The veins on his forehead throbbed.

This is insane!

Jiang Yiyao!

You woman!

You actually brought up such a private matter?!

And they even spread rumors!

This is blatant fabrication!

Seeing Su Mu's face turn as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant, Lin Zhiting laughed even harder.

As if she had discovered a new continent, she became bolder and gently poked Su Mu's firm pectoral muscles with her finger.

"Brother, don't be angry."

"Actually, I also think they are talking nonsense."

"Look at your physique, your muscles, your aura, you don't look like someone who only lasts three minutes."

By the end, the girl's face had turned slightly red, clearly finding the topic quite stimulating.

Are all Gen Z kids this wild?

Su Mu took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.

It's beneath you to argue with a little girl like that.

Moreover, the more you try to explain something, the worse it gets.

Explanation?

How do you explain that?

Are you suggesting I shout "I do it seven times a night" at the school gate?

That would be abnormal.

Su Mu sneered, his eyes instantly turning dangerous.

Instead of retreating, he took a sudden step forward, forcing Lin Zhiting against the wall.

"Thump!"

He placed one hand on her ear and gave her a classic wall slam.

Su Mu leaned down slightly, getting close to Lin Zhiting's face, and the unique hormonal scent of a mature man instantly enveloped her.

The two were so close that they could hear each other breathing.

Lin Zhiting could even see his individual eyelashes and the reflection of her own panic in his pupils.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Little girl."

"There's no need to believe rumors."

"Especially those rumors fabricated by lonely women in their boudoirs, you can't even believe the punctuation marks."

"Some things are useless to hear about."

"You have to try things yourself before you have the right to speak."

What do you think?

boom!

Lin Zhiting's face instantly turned red to the roots of her neck.

It looks like a cooked shrimp.

Although she is outspoken and often makes risqué jokes, she is still a naive young girl.

After being teased by Su Mu like that, she was instantly overwhelmed.

Is this... the charm of a mature man?

That's so unfair!

Who can stand this!

"You scoundrel!"

Lin Zhiting stammered out this sentence, her eyes darting around in a panic, not daring to meet Su Mu's gaze at all.

"How do we try this?"

"Brother Su Mu, you're being dishonest after your divorce! I'm going to tell my mom! I'm going to tell Aunt Jiang!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled her phone out of her bag, pretending to dial a number.

"I'm reporting you for harassing a female college student!"

Su Mu found her blustering yet cowardly demeanor amusing.

Weren't you quite capable just now?

Why do you chicken out when things get serious for a little while?

He didn't stop him; instead, he put his hands in his pockets and raised his chin nonchalantly.

"Come on, hit me."

"If you can get through, then I'll consider you amazing."

Lin Zhiting's hand holding the phone froze in mid-air.

On the screen, the number labeled "Mother" kept showing "The number you dialed is currently unavailable" when dialed several times.

The blush on her face gradually faded, replaced by an undisguised sense of disappointment.

The phone slowly drooped down.

Yes.

They're all turned off.

They're currently busy galloping across the vast grasslands, enjoying a free life "without the ties of men and children."

Who remembers that there was a girl who had just started college and was all alone at school?

Lin Zhiting sighed, stuffed her phone back into her bag, and looked like a deflated balloon.

"That's true..."

"They're ignoring their daughter completely; calling them would only be humiliating."

She looked up at Su Mu, her eyes filled with envy.

"You're still the best."

"Even though you were abandoned by your wife, at least you still remember to bring your son to school."

"And I see that you get along really well with your son, like buddies."

"He is a good father."

At this point, Lin Zhiting pursed her lips, her eyes slightly reddening.

"Unlike my dad, since his divorce, he's completely let himself go."

"I found a girlfriend, and she's always clingy and ignores me completely."

"Right now, I feel like an unwanted child."

"Unloved by her father and mother, what a pitiful girl."

Seeing the little girl's pitiful and miserable appearance, Su Mu's anger subsided considerably.

She was a pitiful child.

It's a miracle that she didn't turn out badly after having such a terrible mother like Guo Rong.

Although she has a wild personality and a sharp tongue, she is essentially a little girl who lacks love.

Su Mu walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Alright, stop playing the victim."

"I didn't know how to get along with my son before. I always had a stern face, like I owed him five million."

"I've only recently come to this realization."

"Getting along with children is an art; you have to put your heart into it."

"Your dad is just unlucky; he doesn't know how to cherish you, his sweet little darling."

"The day his little girlfriend runs off with his money, he'll know who his real daughter is."

Hearing Su Mu's comforting words, Lin Zhiting sniffed and looked up.

Those big eyes gleamed with an unusual light as they stared intently at Su Mu.

so good.

He's handsome, gentle, and so understanding.

The key is that the composure and inclusiveness unique to mature men he exudes are simply walking hormones, a million times better than those little boys in school who only play games and talk childishly.

Lin Zhiting bit her lip, and a bold idea suddenly popped into her mind.

She suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Su Mu's big hands with both of them, and looked up at him with her little face full of expectation.

"Brother Su Mu."

"Since we get along so well, and I'm so pitiful..."

"Can I be your...?"

Su Mu's eyelids twitched.

An ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

These lines...

The atmosphere...

Could the next sentence be "god-daughter"?

Don't!

He can't stand this!

Besides, he's now looking forward to reliving his youth and enjoying the blissful life of a single aristocrat.

What's the point of bringing along a burden?

Su Mu quickly pulled his hand back and took a half step back with a wary look on his face.

"Stop!"

"What are you trying to say?"

"I can't be your daughter! I already have a daughter! Although she's not with me, the quota is full!"

"And I'm a bit sexist... no, I'm sexist, but I only spoil my own children!"

"We don't do things like randomly claiming relatives!"

Seeing Su Mu's terrified, ghost-like expression, Lin Zhiting was stunned for a moment.

Then he burst out laughing.

She waved her hand dismissively.

"Tch—what are you thinking!"

"Who wants to be your daughter? I have a dad, who may be unreliable, but I'm not short of dads."

"Besides, calling you 'brother' is just for fun. Do you really want to take advantage of me and act like an elder?"

Her eyes darted around, and a sly smile, like that of a little fox, curled at the corners of her lips.

They approached Su Mu again.

This time, the tables have turned.

She grabbed Su Mu's collar, and the two switched positions.

He leaned against the wall with one hand.

He actually gave Su Mu a "reverse wall slam".

It has a very strong presence.

Lin Zhiting stood on tiptoe, trying to make her line of sight level with Su Mu.

Her breath was as fragrant as orchids.

"I meant to say..."

"Since we're both unwanted people, that's perfect."

"What do you call this? This is called two negatives make a positive, a match made in heaven."

"Let's get together and make do."

"I don't treat you like an outsider, so don't be polite with me either."

"Anyway, Aunt Jiang doesn't want you anymore, and my mom doesn't want me either."

"Let's start a new family and make them furious!"

At this point, she suddenly leaned close to Su Mu's ear, her voice extremely low, carrying a hint of alluring charm:

"What do you think, honey?"

That one "husband" was uttered with such tenderness and tingling sensation that it was both sweet and numbing.

Su Mu felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and goosebumps covered his skin.

This girl really dares to speak her mind!

Are all Gen Z kids this energetic?

Are we just making do?

Husband?

This guy's trying to fly!

Just now I thought this girl was quiet and gentle, a sweet and pure school beauty.

Now I realize something's wrong. This isn't a little white rabbit at all; it's clearly a little wildcat in sheep's clothing!

Su Mu's face darkened. He extended a finger, pressed it against Lin Zhiting's smooth forehead, and pushed her away with a little force.

"You're dreaming."

"I, Su Mu, will never find a wife in my life, let alone a brat like you who hasn't been weaned yet."

After saying that, Su Mu ignored Lin Zhiting, who was frozen in place, and turned to leave.

He walked with a carefree stride, never looking back.

He left behind only a strikingly handsome back view.

Lin Zhiting stood there blankly, watching Su Mu's departing figure, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

She touched her forehead where Su Mu had poked her with his finger earlier.

Not only was he not angry.

instead……

The smile on his face grew brighter and brighter.

"A brat who hasn't been weaned?"

"Hmph."

"Brother Su Mu, we'll see."

"If you've messed with me, you won't get away so easily!"

Lin Zhiting licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with the excitement of a hunter spotting his prey.

She took out her phone, and although her mother's phone was still off, she still sent her a WeChat message.

"Mom, I have good news for you."

I think I'm in love.

"And you'd never guess who it is!"

"It's Uncle Su Mu!!"
