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

Seeing Su Mu's expression, as if his daughter had died.

Shang Xiuyan quickly offered words of comfort:

"Oh, Uncle, your daughter isn't actually that miserable."

"Zhiling has excellent grades and receives scholarships, which, although not much, are enough."

"And the people in our dorm often feed her, so she's never starved."

Hearing these words, Su Mu felt even worse.

"That's really my fault."

"It's my fault for not caring about my daughter's life; I've failed as a father."

At the time, Su Mu was busy with work, his family was going through a divorce, and his daughter was giving him the cold shoulder. Subconsciously, he was just being lazy and wanted to avoid this thorny problem.

After all, dealing with parent-child relationships is no easy task.

So he chose the easiest way—to give money.

They thought that by paying money, they could buy peace of mind.

The results of it?

They didn't even give me the money.

Looking at him like this, Shang Xiuyan said softly:

"It's not entirely your fault."

"Actually, everyone is at fault, but Zhiling is too stubborn."

"I've advised her many times that if she doesn't have living expenses, she should just say so and talk to her parents. It's not something to be ashamed of."

"But she just wouldn't listen; she insisted on bearing it all herself."

She said she just wanted to see when her parents would remember her.

Su Mu nodded.

That's true; my daughter is very stubborn.

Su Mu turned his head and looked out the window at the dormitory building, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"No matter what, we really owe a lot to you all over the past year."

He was sincere.

He doesn't even want to imagine what his daughter would have become if it weren't for his kind roommates.

"Girl, I owe you a favor."

"If there's anything you need in the future, just ask if your uncle can help you."

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiuyan immediately smiled, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

"Oh! Uncle, you're being too polite!"

"I already told you, Zhiling has such a round face, she looks like a steamed bun, who wouldn't be confused by her? Let alone feeding her, I'd be happy to treat her like a goddess."

"After feeding her for a year, I've long since started raising her like my own daughter."

At this point, Shang Xiuyan patted her chest, her face full of maternal love.

"I'm a mother!"

puff--

Su Mu stared wide-eyed at the girl with pink hair in front of him.

The child's mother?

The words just sounded so out of place coming out of her mouth.

Today's college students are really kind-hearted, but their understanding of generational hierarchy is a bit messed up.

Su Mu was both amused and exasperated, and couldn't resist teasing her.

"You're the child's mother, so what am I?"

Shang Xiuyan was stunned for a moment.

Her gaze swept over Su Mu's handsome face, and her cheeks suddenly flushed inexplicably.

"Then...then you..."

She stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence:

"You're my uncle."

Su Mu's face darkened.

Good guy.

I'm your biological father, and you're your roommate.

As a result, you became the mother and I became the uncle?

Does this sound like a word?

Is this reasonable?

Su Mu sat up straight, feeling that he had to defend his dignity as a father.

"No, girl, you've got the math wrong, haven't you?"

"No matter what, I need some kind of official status, right? How can my biological father become my uncle, or my roommate become my biological mother?"

Shang Xiuyan tilted her head and thought about it, and seemed to think that it made some sense.

"That's not impossible!"

"We can each discuss our own points!"

Su Mu raised an eyebrow: "How do you mean each side should stick to their own interpretation?"

Shang Xiuyan seriously began planning for the future:

"Look, from now on, Zhiling will call me Mom and you Dad."

"Although we don't have a legal relationship, we're strategic partners when it comes to raising Xiaodoubao!"

"Let's raise our little one together and give her double the love, isn't that wonderful?"

Su Mu's lips twitched.

God's double love.

This girl's thought process is indeed a bit unusual.

But he looked at Shang Xiuyan's rosy profile.

The morning light shone through the car window onto her face, making the fine downy hairs clearly visible.

Despite being a girl who seems a bit unconventional, her eyes actually shone with a maternal glow when she talked about taking care of people.

This is truly bizarre.

Su Mu couldn't help but sigh:

"I never would have guessed that someone with such an unconventional way of dressing would be so caring at heart, almost like a mother."

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiuyan immediately sat up straight:

"Uncle, that's a stereotype."

"Actually, I'm a very traditional girl."

Su Mu looked her up and down.

Long pink hair.

She wore star-shaped earrings.

The shorts were so short that it was almost unbearable to look at them.

Is this what you call tradition?

Su Mu couldn't help but retort, "Don't you have some kind of misunderstanding about the word 'tradition'?"

"real!"

Shang Xiuyan explained with a serious expression.

"My traditions are reflected in my family values!"

"I think girls should become mothers early, preferably at twenty."

"I've already made my life plan. This year, when I turn twenty, I intend to find a reliable guy to be my dad and then have a baby!"

!!!

Su Mu felt that his worldview had been violently shaken.

He finally understood what kind of person this girl was: her appearance and values ​​were unconventional.

This is truly unconventional.

After holding it in for a long time, Su Mu could only agree:

"No... your idea is quite unique."

Shang Xiuyan cupped her face in her hands, her eyes filled with longing, as if she could already see her children and grandchildren surrounding her.

"Is it special? I think it's perfectly normal."

"I really, really love children, they're so cute!"

"I've put in a lot of effort to give birth to the healthiest baby."

"Uncle, do you know? I've been trying to conceive since the day I turned eighteen!"

!!!

This time, Su Mu was truly shocked.

Eighteen years old?

Trying to conceive?

Shang Xiuyan completely ignored Su Mu's shock, and instead became more and more excited as she talked, counting her "preparation list" on her fingers.

"I practice yoga for an hour every morning without fail to help with cold uterus."

"We eat only organic vegetables."

"I don't drink milk tea, I don't stay up late, I don't go clubbing, and I don't even touch a drop of cola!"

"My goal is to have two children in three years and three in five years, contributing to the country's population growth!"

Holy crap.

Su Mu's mouth was agape, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

He looked at the pink-haired girl with clear eyes in front of him.

In an era where no one wants to have children, there are still young people with such high awareness?

Su Mu could only sigh silently in his heart.

If there were more girls like this, why would the country's birth rate not increase?

The director of the family planning office should give her an award!

"Um... girl."

Su Mu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"So... have you found the father of your child yet?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiuyan instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

"No..."

She let out a long sigh.

"Boys these days are all unreliable."

"Either he's ugly, or he's irresponsible."

"Why is it so hard to find a handsome man who is also good at raising children?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Su Mu.

"Huh?"
