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

Su Mu was squeezed between three soft, fragrant women, his nostrils filled with the scent of perfume.

I watched the three figures walking inside, arms around each other's shoulders.

He felt somewhat helpless.

More than anything, it evoked a long-lost sense of emotion.

Men's friendships can actually be quite rough.

Once you get married and settle down with your wife, kids, and a warm home, your brothers will automatically stay away and never cause you any trouble.

When you stumble and fall, get divorced, and become all alone.

These bastards, carrying wine and meat, will drag you out of this quagmire, even if they have to use their strength.

This whole spectacle is clearly a deliberate attempt to ward off bad luck, in case he tries to kill himself at home alone.

Su Mu sighed.

It was hard to refuse such hospitality.

He then raised his arm and pulled Zhu Sha, Bi Luo, and Zi Han into his arms.

No matter what, he couldn't just kick them out after his brothers had pooled their money and worked so hard to put together the job.

but.

Xia Qingwu, that yandere, is very dangerous.

No one can guarantee that she won't suddenly push the door open and come in.

Even if these three girls were just there to dance and liven things up, if they actually bumped into each other, given Xia Qingwu's temper, he could tear the roof off.

We need to have double insurance.

Su Mu raised his chin at Zhu Sha and Bi Luo in his arms.

"You two, go to the living room and have a drink with my buddies."

Zhu Sha swayed her waist, while Bi Luo took long strides and obediently walked towards the living room.

Zi Han blinked her big eyes and stayed where she was.

She tilted her head, her voice sweet and cloying.

"Brother, where are we going now?"

Su Mu whispered:

"You drove here, right?"

Zi Han nodded.

Su Mu gave detailed instructions.

"Go to the underground parking garage, drive your car over here, and park it horizontally between parking spaces 173 and 174."

"Remember to park horizontally, filling both parking spaces, and then leave a conspicuous phone number for moving the car on the windshield."

173 and 174 are Su Mu's own parking spaces.

Whenever Xia Qingwu drives back and finds her parking space occupied, her first reaction is always to call someone to move her car.

This is the first line of defense.

Zi Han held the car keys, her eyes darting around.

Those in this line of work are all top-notch at reading people and situations.

She understood immediately.

Zi Han covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Brother, I understand~"

"Your new sister-in-law is coming back to check up on you, right? Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll take care of it right away and make sure to stall for time!"

After saying that, she ran out the door in her high heels.

Watching the security door close, Su Mu stroked his chin.

Relying solely on phone numbers for moving cars is not reliable enough.

He took out his phone and tapped on Xia Qingwu's WeChat profile picture.

Fingers tap rapidly on the screen.

"I have a package at the Cainiao Station. Could you pick it up for me when you come back? The pickup code is 1-1-222."

send.

My Shepherd just happened to have a package left at the Cainiao Station.

Xia Qingwu just needs to go to the post station to pick up the package.

He will receive the message immediately.

It takes at least ten minutes to walk from the rest stop at the entrance of the community to this building and then take the elevator up.

That's enough for him to clean up all the women in the house.

Soon, my phone vibrated.

Xia Qingwu replied with a single word.

"OK."

Su Mu stuffed his phone into his pocket.

Stable.

Strategizing within the command tent, securing victory a thousand miles away.

His ability to cheat...

No, his emotional intelligence is absolutely phenomenal.

The plan is in place.

........

Five minutes later.

After finishing her errand, Zihan jogged back into the house.

Liao Tianci dimmed the living room lights, leaving only a few ambient lights on.

On the extra-large television screen, the song "Exploring the Past" is playing as background music.

"A gentle breeze blows across the southern branch~"

"I still miss you in my dreams~"

"Wait until autumn to see the mountain's grandeur~"

"Revisiting an old acquaintance~"

The music started.

Zhu Sha, Bi Luo, and Zi Han immediately got into character.

Three Hanfu in red, blue, and purple intertwined and swirled in the center of the living room.

Her water sleeves fluttered, and her waist swayed.

It has to be said that these three girls are really something.

The cinnabar primarily targets the upper body, making it almost leap out.

Biluo focuses on the lower body, with her long legs peeking out from under her skirt, sparking the imagination.

Zi Han was responsible for drawing long eyelashes, throwing flirtatious glances while dancing, and her sweet, whiny voice was incredibly captivating.

on the sofa.

The third brother, Zhang Chi, was holding a half-empty glass of beer, his eyes fixed on Biluo's legs, so much so that he forgot to drink his beer.

The fourth brother, Brother Shu, was even more exaggerated. His mouth stretched to the back of his head, and he was drooling. He was gesturing wildly with both hands to the music.

He excitedly shouted.

"Great! Dancing is great! I need to learn to dance!!"

"That figure, that twist, it's amazing!"

Su Mu leaned against the corner of the sofa, toying with an empty wine glass in his hand.

His gaze swept over the three dancing girls.

To be honest, he jumped really hard.

The atmosphere was also perfectly set.

In the past, she would have been in her late thirties.

Seeing such young and vibrant bodies is sure to be a feast for the eyes; they're all so fresh and radiant.

He finds anyone who is young beautiful.

but.

Su Mu's physical functions have now regressed to the state of a twenty-year-old.

With abundant energy, their horizons have also broadened.

What's worse, he has Xia Qingwu by his side.

Although that woman was a yandere, her face and figure were truly top-notch.

Seeing beauties like Xia Qingwu every day, and then looking at these three in front of me.

I feel like something's missing.

The cinnabar makeup is too heavy; the foundation is almost stuck to my neck.

Although Biluo's legs are long, they are not proportionally balanced.

As for Zihan, after hearing that clipped sound so many times, her ears were itching and she always wanted to scratch them.

Su Mu leaned back against the cushion and yawned.

I wasn't interested.

Tree Brother, who was watching intently, caught a glimpse of Su Mu's listless expression out of the corner of his eye.

He panicked.

He nudged Liao Tianci, who was standing next to him, with his elbow.

Lower your voice.

"Second brother, look at the eldest brother's dead body."

"This is a top-tier technician we hired at great expense, how come he doesn't react at all?"

"Could it be that the divorce was too much of a shock, and she really doesn't want to live anymore?"

Liao Tianci followed Brother Shu's gaze.

Sure enough, Su Mu was staring blankly into space.

Liao Tianci cleared his throat and put down his wine glass.

He moved closer to Su Mu and put an arm around Su Mu's shoulder.

"Boss."

Liao Tianci spoke earnestly.

"Brother knows you're suffering inside."

"Women are like clothes; out with the old, in with the new."

"Look at these three in front of you, how fresh and tender they are."

Liao Tianci pointed at Zhu Sha, who was twisting his hips.

"Could your ex-wife have a figure like that?"

"Would your ex-wife have this kind of service attitude?"

"They're divorced, so be it. The world will keep turning even if someone leaves."

"We men can't put all our eggs in one basket; we have to embrace the whole forest!"

The third brother, Zhang Chi, unusually chimed in from the side.

"right."

........

Su Mu was amused.

He placed the empty wine glass on the coffee table.

These guys really think he's heartbroken and is trying to kill himself here.

Su Mu didn't waste any words.

He bent down and retrieved four unopened bottles of beer from under the coffee table.

Use your wrist to generate force.

Press your thumb against the edge of the bottle cap and push it upwards forcefully.

boo.

boo.

boo.

boo.

Four crisp sounds rang out in succession.

Pry open the bottle cap with your bare hands.

The movements were swift and decisive.

Su Mu handed the opened beer bottles to Liao Tianci, Zhang Chi, and Brother Shu one by one.

I only kept one bottle for myself.

He stood up straight, carrying the green glass bottle.

Looking down at his three old friends whom he had known for many years.

"I really have to thank you guys today."

"They came all this way to bring me good luck."

"I'm almost forty, divorced, and I've quit my job."

"We haven't even found a decent place to go."

"In the eyes of outsiders, this is a complete failure in life, utterly defeated."

Liao Tianci became anxious.

He slammed the bottle down on the table.

"Boss, don't say that."

"A man's forties are precisely when he begins to build his career!"

Su Mu raised his hand.

He interrupted Liao Tianci.

"Second brother, let me finish speaking first."

Su Mu looked around.

"I didn't collapse."

"I'm awake."

He raised the bottle in his hand, the glass reflecting a dim light under the ambient lighting.

"In the first half of my life, I lived within my identity, within my responsibilities, and within the expectations of others."

"A good husband, a good employee, and a good father."

"Every day when I open my eyes, all I think about is how to please my wife, how to deal with my boss, and how to satisfy my mother-in-law."

"The only thing I didn't do was live the life of Su Mu himself."

"For that family, I almost forgot even my own surname."

"It wasn't until the show ended that I truly understood."

"In this life, you can't live only for others."

"Only today do I realize who I am; everything before was merely a prologue!"

"It's all in the wine!"

"Friends, I'll finish this bottle!"

Su Mu tilted his head back.

The Adam's apple moves up and down.

Tons tons tons tons tons.

I spun a whole 500ml bottle of beer down my throat.

Not a drop was spilled.

Finish drinking.
