Due to class-orentiated sleep clock, Lin Nan woke up promptly at eight in the morning. He stretched, yawned twice, and casually put on his sun protection jacket that gave him a strong sense of security before opening the room door with sleepy eyes.
He had temporarily forgotten about last night's events, at least on the surface.
On his way to the bathroom, Lin Nan glanced over at the living room sofa and saw that Uncle was sleeping in the living room without air conditioning in the middle of sumr, yet was bundled up tightly with not even his head poking out.
Eight o'clock was still early for Uncle, who often worked overti—this was a rare day off for him, and he'd probably sleep for several more hours. Lin Nan didn't want to wake him, so he tiptoed toward the bathroom door.
Then he saw Uncle standing with his back to him, facing the toilet.
"..."
What the hell kind of soap opera plot is this!
Wu Guodong turned around in shock, his face instantly turning bright red.
Lin Nan didn't know why Uncle would blush from being seen from behind while using the toilet by another man. Maybe this guy had never used a public restroom?
But he still consciously backed out of the bathroom.
After waiting a mont, Wu Guodong ca out expressionlessly, acting as if nothing had happened as he sat down on the sofa.
Only then did Lin Nan enter the bathroom to wash up. After finishing, Wu Guodong suddenly called out to him.
"How about coming with to the blind date at noon?"
"Why would you bring to your blind date?" Lin Nan asked in confusion. "That Liu Xuefei isn't bad looking, and her personality is quite outgoing. If you like her, just pursue her."
She might just put you in won's clothing though...
Lin Nan was quite looking forward to seeing what Uncle would look like in won's clothing. Although Uncle's face was sowhat pitted and inflad from staring at computers long-term, he believed in Liu Xuefei's makeup skills.
Programr crossdressing seed... pretty normal, right?
Lin Nan chuckled inwardly but maintained a righteous expression as he said, "If I go, won't you just have to spend more money?"
"Since when did you care about that with ?" Wu Guodong rolled his eyes and headed toward the bedroom, saying as he walked, "I'm going to change clothes. We'll leave soon. The restaurant seems to be near your school anyway, so you can co have lunch with and then I'll take you back to school."
Lin Nan felt like there wasn't really any problem with that, but still eagerly tried to follow into the bedroom: "Let help you decide what to wear..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Guodong slamd the door shut with a bang, and he even heard the sound of the lock turning.
Co on, you're almost thirty years old—what's there to be shy about when just changing clothes?
After waiting a mont, Uncle erged wearing a plaid shirt and loose light blue jeans.
Lin Nan just felt that maybe the online rumors were true: programrs' wardrobes only contain plaid shirts.
"Can't you change into sothing else..." he said helplessly. "Wasn't that black t-shirt from before better?"
"This outfit looks pretty good too, right?" Wu Guodong looked down sowhat inexplicably, adjusting his shirt and jeans. "Nothing wrong with it."
"Think about it—Liu Xuefei is only eighteen or nineteen, and you're dressed so conservatively... Can't you dress a bit more youthfully? Don't put the age gap right out in the open, okay?
"Also, wear sothing a bit more fitted to look more spirited."
"You're right."
Wu Guodong felt Lin Nan made sense and went back into the room.
Honestly, Lin Nan felt that Uncle might just have low emotional intelligence from being shut in too long.
But if he really got together with Liu Xuefei, wouldn't that an he'd have an aunt-in-law at school? And originally he could act cute to get money from Uncle, but with an aunt-in-law around, that kind of operation would probably beco difficult.
But why was Liu Xuefei, who wasn't even twenty yet, going on blind dates? And with Uncle who was nearly thirty?
Wu Guodong erged from the room again. This ti he had changed into black casual pants, which indeed made him look more spirited overall compared to those baggy jeans. His upper body wore a white t-shirt—ordinary male attire with no real problems.
Then after shaving and tidying up his ssy hair a bit, the previously unkempt shut-in Wu Guodong, after dressing up, could barely be considered handso.
Lin Nan realized their family genes were actually pretty good. Although his mother's figure had deteriorated and she looked quite aged now, she had been an above-average beauty when she was young. Although Uncle was a shut-in, he looked quite young and handso when dressed up. His male cousins of the sa generation were basically all sowhat handso, and he himself was particularly good-looking.
Wu Guodong quickly finished arranging his appearance. Originally looking like soone in his thirties when staying ho, now with changed clothes and a shaved face, he suddenly looked like a college student who had just entered society.
He was obviously quite satisfied with his youthful appearance, picked up his car keys, and called for Lin Nan to set off.
"Speaking of which, you're eighteen now—you can get a driver's license, right?" Wu Guodong asked Lin Nan in the car.
Hearing the words "driver's license," Lin Nan imdiately shook his head vigorously: "Forget it, forget it. What if I hit soone and can't afford compensation? Plus driver's licenses are expensive. I don't have money for all that."
The main issue was that Lin Nan also felt he couldn't possibly afford to buy a car in the short term.
Getting from downtown to the school area required going through a tunnel. This tunnel was clear now, but during rush hour, it was said you could be stuck in the tunnel for one or two hours. When Uncle first started working, he got caught in this, so now even though rent in the city center was ridiculously expensive, he gritted his teeth and rented there anyway.
Then Lin Nan discovered they had arrived at the student street where he worked part-ti distributing flyers.
"We agreed to et at the bus stop." As soon as Wu Guodong got out of the car, his whole body began trembling slightly—whether from nervousness or fear was unclear.
Lin Nan felt it wasn't appropriate to interfere with soone else's blind date, and besides, being in this location...
"Uncle, my part-ti job is nearby. How about you don't take back—I'll go distribute flyers to earn so money?" His mind beca active. After all, it was only noon, exactly pri ti for distributing flyers. He was just worried the supermarket might have already found enough part-ti workers for the weekend.
"No!" Wu Guodong quickly transferred two hundred yuan to Lin Nan, looking panicked as he pleaded, "Co with to the blind date. I'm too scared to go alone!”
You're twenty-eight years old and still this afraid of a blind date.
Lin Nan grumbled internally, but seeing the transfer notification on WeChat, he imdiately bead: "Uncle is so handso, the blind date will definitely go smoothly!"
Just as they were talking, another car stopped in a nearby parking space. Out stepped a man with a high hairline who looked to be in his thirties or forties, along with Liu Xuefei wearing a light white dress.
Lin Nan poked Wu Guodong beside him and whispered, "Are you sure they're siblings and not father and daughter?"
