Chapter 318: Chapter 318: You Have It Too
Su Lu opened his WeChat and stared at his profile picture, a beach that seed familiar.
It seed to be the beach they often visited during their dating days when they went back to Hai City to visit his alma mater’s professor.
As Su Lu looked at the beach in the profile picture, he couldn’t help but feel dazed.
Ti kept moving, and the years never turned back.
It turned out so much ti had already passed since those days of youthful vigor, those sumrs filled with the sll of fried squid and orange soda, those breezy winds carrying the salty scent of the sea. He rembered the clean white shirt of the handso young man.
Only then did he realize he had aged.
Su Lu zoned out for a while before he accepted his friend request.
anwhile,
At the high-end mbers-only boxing gym on the seventh floor of Yasheng Departnt Store, a tall, lean figure sat at the edge of the boxing ring, leaning against the ropes, with his boxing gloves removed but his hands still wrapped in straps.
He was dressed in a boxing vest and shorts, appearing slim but not frail.
He sat there, his long legs slightly bent, head bowed intently staring at his phone, sweat from his boxing dripping down his face to his chin and falling off.
He casually wiped it off, but his intense gaze remained fixed on the phone screen.
Until finally, he saw the new chat window pop up with a profile picture of a deer and the na “deer” with a ssage: “I have accepted your friend request; now we can start chatting.”
He finally let out a long sigh of relief, gripping his fist tightly, almost exclaiming a “yes!”
A coach passing by the boxing ring saw his reaction and laughed, “Mr. Bo, what’s making you so happy?” The coach glanced at his phone screen without paying much attention, noticing it was possibly a new friend. He joked, “Got the WeChat ID of a pretty girl you’re chasing?”
Bo Jingshen glanced at him, “My wife.”
“Oh, you got married? Who’s the lucky one?” the coach laughed, “Let’s continue after your chat.”
The coach acknowledged that Bo Jingshen, as a mber, was quite easygoing, wealthy, and good-looking. Many female students were curious about him, but his only requirent for signing up at the gym was peace and quiet. Cost was never an issue for him.
He was reserved and aloof, making the coach never suspect he had such a side to him.
Bo Jingshen looked at the chat window, feeling sowhat nervous for a mont. His fingers flexed, thinking about how to send a ssage that would seem natural and casual without being too aggressive or pushy.
But before he could settle on what to say, the person with the deer-head profile picture ssaged him first.
deer: What did you want to ask ?
Bo Jingshen stared at her nickna for a long ti, then exited the chat. After so operations, he returned to the chat and finally responded.
Consequently, Su Lu, observing his nickna, frowned in silence.
Bambi: Just wanted to ask what Xiao Le likes to eat, what he doesn’t, what he likes, what he doesn’t, if you’ve set any rules for him. I don’t want to accidentally break them.
If Su Lu rembered correctly… his na was certainly “Bo” just monts ago. In fact, it had been “Bo” for many years, but just then, it suddenly changed to “Bambi.”
Thus, one deer and one Bambi, as if they had agreed on it.
Su Lu didn’t know what to say without seeming too sensitive, especially since the other person had been using the na “Bambi” in the esports world for years.
Su Lu replied by the queries he made: Dislikes eating durian and celery, everything else is generally fine, especially likes waterlon and peaches. Very curious so he likes a lot of things, doesn’t like bugs, cries if he sees one. Not allowed too much junk food, not allowed out of parents’ sight.
Bo Jingshen read her ssage several tis with utmost seriousness before replying: Okay, I’ve got it.
Su Lu didn’t reply again. She thought it would end there, but surprisingly, about five minutes later, another ssage ca through.
Bambi: “Will you co along… tomorrow?”
After sending this ssage, Bo Jingshen stared unblinkingly at the screen.
He thought he would receive a reply shortly, or maybe not at all, because given Su Lu’s temperant, if she decided not to agree, she might simply refuse by staying silent.
But Bo Jingshen didn’t expect Su Lu to reply so quickly.
deer: “No, thank you.”
Bo Jingshen typed a line on the screen: “Maybe Xiao Le would want us to accompany him together, since we’ve never done that before…”
He had typed the entire line on the screen, but after pondering for a mont, he deleted it.
It was moving too fast. And it seed too much like so kind of emotional manipulation.
He didn’t want to emotionally manipulate Su Lu.
Her phone vibrated, and Su Lu looked at the ssage that had been sent back.
Bambi: “Alright, see you tomorrow then. Have Xiao Le go to bed early tonight, and you should rest early too, taking care of a child who’s just been discharged from the hospital. It’s tough.”
Su Lu read the ssage, didn’t reply, and simply locked her screen.
The next day, Zhao Ying, knowing that Bo Jingshen was coming to pick up Xiao Le, didn’t want to et with Bo Jingshen, so she decided to avoid it. Thus, only she and Zhao Xiaole were left at ho.
Su Lu packed his little backpack and gathered his little sweat towel, water bottle, and other items.
Zhao Xiaole sat on the carpet by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking downstairs.
Su Lu was busy packing and didn’t notice what he was looking at.
But not long afterward, the child suddenly jumped up excitedly, rushed to the access control, stepped on a small stool, and pushed the door open. Then, he just stood in the entryway, eagerly waiting.
It was clear to Su Lu what he had been looking at by the window just now.
Su Lu, carrying his little backpack, also went to the entryway, mainly to save him the trouble of coming back into the ho. It would be easier just to let him take Xiao Le and go.
Ding! The sound of the elevator.
Zhao Xiaole was already bouncing with excitent as he ran up.
“Daddy!”
Su Lu watched as sothing ca out of the elevator and she felt a bit overwheld.
Because the first thing to co out wasn’t Bo Jingshen, but an Ultraman head. Honestly, the head was almost as big as Su Lu’s own!
Then, she saw Bo Jingshen step out, carrying a huge Ultraman model that seed nearly as big as a full-grown human in height and build.
No wonder Zhao Xiaole was so impatient and excited; he must have seen Bo Jingshen carrying it up from the window.
As Bo Jingshen walked out of the elevator, he said to Su Lu, “You didn’t set any rules about not indulging in distractions, so I bought him a big one.”
Bo Jingshen showed a smile and, seeing her stern expression, quickly added, “Don’t be upset; you have sothing too.”
Then he turned back into the elevator and ca out carrying a huge bunch of roses.
Looking at them, there must have been hundreds of them!
