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

When she saw the woman walking gracefully towards her.

His eyes widened even more.

Her long pink hair stood out strikingly under the cafeteria lights.

Her usually flamboyant and unrestrained pretty face was now flushed with two suspicious blushes, and her eyes darted around, revealing a rare shyness.

The person who came was none other than her best friend and sister who had slept in the bunk above her for two years—Shang Xiuyan!

Seeing Shang Xiuyan slowly approaching, Su Mu smiled gently and naturally reached out to put his arm around her shoulder.

"What are you doing!"

Su Zhiling reacted even faster than him. Like a cat guarding its food, she suddenly sprang up, pulled Shang Xiuyan behind her, and glared at Su Mu warily.

"You old bastard, what are you trying to do to my roommate?!"

"Where are you going with your filthy hands? Believe me or not, I'll chop them off!"

Su Mu looked at his daughter's nervous expression and shrugged helplessly.

"What's the rush? Let me reintroduce you."

Su Zhiling's panic grew stronger, and her voice became shrill and sharp:

"What's there to introduce!"

"This is my roommate, my best friend!"

"We're together every day, what right do you, an outsider, have to introduce us! Get lost!"

Su Zhiling felt inexplicably flustered.

Over the past two years, Shang Xiuyan has been the closest person to her during her university life, taking care of her and protecting her like an older sister.

He's the kind of person who would secretly give her heat packs and brown sugar water during her period.

He'll be the first person to stand up for her when she's being bullied.

He was the one who would lean down from the top bunk and gently comfort her when she had nightmares at night.

They are the best of sisters!

Now, what is this old man going to do?

Su Mu shrugged helplessly, with an expression that said, "Look, this child is disobedient."

Just then, Shang Xiuyan, who was hiding behind Su Zhiling, gently pinched her arm and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Doubao...you're being naughty."

"Don't be so mean to...the child's father."

What is that?

The child's father?

boom!

Su Zhiling felt as if her brain had been struck by lightning, buzzing loudly.

The whole world started spinning, and the scene before my eyes became blurry.

She mechanically turned her head, watching Shang Xiuyan's face get closer and closer, but she couldn't make it out clearly no matter how hard she tried.

I just felt that a few more things had been added to that familiar face...

Wifey feeling?

With a blush, Shang Xiuyan broke free from behind Su Zhiling, ran to Su Mu's side, and shyly straightened the hem of her clothes.

Su Mu looked at his daughter's petrified expression with satisfaction and slowly spoke.

"Weren't you just crying and shouting that you didn't have a mother?"

He pointed to Shang Xiuyan beside him, a grin spreading across his face.

"Here, this is your new stepmother. Are you satisfied?"

Su Zhiling's pupils suddenly contracted.

"My mom?"

Su Mu nodded emphatically, his face full of certainty:

"Yes, it's your mother."

"I fucking..."

Su Zhiling finally regained her voice from the shock and swore.

Su Mu, however, corrected her in a serious tone:

"Not your mother, but your mother."

Shang Xiuyan finally mustered up her courage, looked up at Su Zhiling, and spoke earnestly.

"Doubao, as you know, I've always been a traditional woman."

"I wanted to find true love when I was 20, but the boys at school were too immature, until I met your dad."

"He may be old, but he's handsome!"

"And look how good he is to you. I like this kind of family-oriented man. This is the first time I've ever felt my heart flutter."

After saying that, she rubbed her face against Su Mu's arm.

Su Mu looked down at her, his face full of doting affection: "Am I really that good?"

Shang Xiuyan nodded shyly, "Mmm~"

Su Mu: "Then give me a kiss."

"Eek~"

Shang Xiuyan closed her eyes and tilted her head back slightly.

Su Mu lowered his head accordingly.

Their lips were about to touch.

Snapped!

A hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and covered their mouths tightly.

Su Zhiling was on the verge of a breakdown.

She had just thought the two of them were acting, playing a prank on her.

But now it seems like this is for real!

The sparks flying between these two were enough to set the cafeteria on fire!

No! Absolutely not!

At this moment, Su Zhiling had long forgotten about "remarriage" and "dropping out of school".

She had only one thought in her mind right now:

Break up this despicable couple!

Su Zhiling yelled at Su Mu.

"No! Absolutely not!"

"I don't accept this! You two must separate!"

"Old Deng, you promised me! You said you'd solve my problems!"

"This is your solution? To have my best friend as a stepmother? You're a psychopath!"

Su Zhiling's wishes have changed.

The story has changed from "Dad and Mom got back together" to "Dad and his roommate broke up".

I'll let her do anything as long as those two are separated!

Su Mu pushed his daughter's hand away, looking completely innocent.

"How can this not be considered a solution?"

"Aren't you starved for love? Aren't you neglected and without anyone to take care of you?"

"Xiuyan treats you like her own daughter in the dorm. She brings you food, saves you a seat, and even washes your socks."

Su Mu spread his hands, his logic impeccable:

"This means having two years of work experience before even starting the job, a seamless transition—isn't that great!"

"Come on, quickly call her stepmother."

Shang Xiuyan chimed in, her face showing a hint of grievance and sadness.

"Daughter, I used to call you 'daughter' all the time back in the dorm. How come you don't recognize me now that we're family?"

Two years of work experience?!

What a skilled trade!

Su Zhiling felt as if her worldview had been shattered into dust.

Two years of best friend relationship!

My bunkmate sisters!

This is practically letting a wolf into the house!

She glared at Shang Xiuyan, her eyes blazing with fury.

"Shang Xiuyan! Are you blind?"

"What's so good about this old man besides his face? Wake up!"

This guy's love-struck!

My dad is so old, how could she possibly be interested in him!

I treated you like my best friend, and you actually wanted to be my stepmother?!

Stared at like that, Shang Xiuyan blushed even more. She covered her face shyly and said coyly:

"Oh dear, baby, don't look at Mommy!"

"If you really can't accept it..."

She paused for a moment, then came up with what she considered a brilliant idea.

"How about this, you call me Stepmother, and I'll call you Doubao (steamed bun), we'll each keep our own names!"

Su Mu, deeply moved by what he heard, put his arm around Shang Xiuyan's shoulder:

"Honey, you're amazing! That's what you call having a broad perspective!"

"ah--!"

"Screw your vision!"

Su Zhiling finally couldn't take it anymore and let out a scream.

She grabbed the plate in front of her and, with all her might, hurled it at the two of them!

"You guys separate!"

The plates spun rapidly in the air, accompanied by a whooshing sound.

"Be careful!"

With lightning speed, Su Mu grabbed Shang Xiuyan's slender waist and bent backward abruptly.

A beautiful iron plate bridge!

The plate flew past him, almost grazing his nose, and slammed against the wall in the distance with a loud thud.

Su Mu dodged the attack and tried to get up, but he lost his footing and spun around twice with Shang Xiuyan in his arms.

In a dizzying moment, their lips collided perfectly.

The entire corner of the cafeteria fell silent instantly.

All the students watching were dumbfounded.

This scene looks like it's from an idol drama.

Su Zhiling was also stunned, staring blankly at the two kissing each other.

Does this work too?

How can they even kiss like that?

Su Mu helped Shang Xiuyan stand up, and seeing his daughter's lively yet angry expression, he felt a sense of relief.

well.

It can cry, laugh, get angry, and throw plates.

Isn't that right?

He was full of energy, and there was no trace of his previous lifeless and withdrawn state.

It seems that only by letting her vent her emotions can she rediscover the world and the connection between people.

The plan is in place.

It seems that she isn't very accepting of this stepmother.

However, it's not a big problem.

What's the best way to get someone to accept something they find hard to accept?

That is, give her a more unacceptable option to lower her expectations.

Su Mu raised his head and scanned the crowd of onlookers.

He quickly spotted a familiar figure.

The woman wearing an ordinary cartoon t-shirt, which still couldn't hide her voluptuous figure, was indeed hiding in the crowd, watching the spectacle with a shocked expression.

What a coincidence!

Second Aunt is still here too.
