Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 317 - 212: Dad, You Don’t Want Your Secret Leaked, Do You?
The message was sent, but there was no response from Lin Xiamo.
However, for Shen Qiushan, it didn’t really matter. As long as one is thick-skinned enough, it’s not a problem.
He tiptoed out of the room, then pretended to grab some water from the fridge, silently observing the state of the children’s rooms.
There was no sound; if nothing out of the ordinary happened, they should all be asleep.
Holding a bottle of soda water, Shen Qiushan quickly made his way to the door of Lin Xiamo’s guest room and gently pushed the door; sure enough, it wasn’t locked.
Great!
I’ll help take care of your "wife."
As he entered the room, Shen Qiushan thought mischievously to himself.
Of course, Lin Xiamo saw the message Shen Qiushan sent; she didn’t respond because she thought it was too risky. Her guest room was right next to Shen Yanran’s room; it would be awkward if they were found out.
Therefore, she planned to pretend she hadn’t seen it and respond to Shen Qiushan in the morning saying that she had fallen asleep.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qiushan was so thick-skinned that he came over directly.
"Are the kids asleep?"
Lin Xiamo asked with some concern.
"Asleep."
"I’ve already checked."
As he replied, Shen Qiushan had already climbed into the bed.
Hearing this, Lin Xiamo felt a bit relieved but still thought it was risky, so she locked the door for added assurance.
About two hours later.
Satisfied after a second round, Shen Qiushan exited the room.
He initially wanted to stay the night, but Lin Xiamo thought it was too dangerous and forced him out.
To return to the master bedroom he had to cross the living room, and as Shen Qiushan walked into the living room, he found Shen Yixiao sitting on the couch...
Father and son stared at each other, both dumbfounded!
"Hey, kid, what are you doing up in the middle of the night?"
After a moment of shock, Shen Qiushan frowned and asked.
"I slept too much during the day and couldn’t sleep at night. I got thirsty, so I came out to grab a bottle of water."
Shen Yixiao pointed to a bottle of cola on the coffee table. Due to his fracture, he had been sent back home after just a brief visit to the bar’s opening.
Having slept most of the day, he woke up late at night and started playing games. As he said, he had come out for water and thought the living room was spacious enough to play for a while before returning to his room.
But unexpectedly, he discovered his father’s secret!
His dad came from the direction of the guest room, where there were two bedrooms; one was Shen Yanran’s room, and the other was Aunt Lin Xiamo’s room.
Tonight, Shen Yanran was sleeping with Aunt Lin Jiayu, so his dad couldn’t have gone there.
So, only one answer remained!
His dad came out from Aunt Lin Xiamo’s room!
Meaning, his dad and Aunt Lin Xiamo were secretly together!!
Realizing this, Shen Yixiao was shocked, his mouth wide open. He had previously felt that his dad and Aunt Lin Xiamo seemed quite close, but thought the possibility of them being together was low, given their special relationship.
"Uh, I also came out to get some water."
"But half-asleep, I went the wrong way."
Shen Qiushan quickly came up with an excuse.
However, his excuse was too clumsy; Shen Yixiao had been sitting in the living room for over ten minutes, and his dad’s explanation clearly didn’t add up.
"Dad, actually, I support you."
"I think Aunt is great!"
Shen Yixiao laid it all out, expressing his support.
"Uh, you really think so?"
Since there was no hiding it, Shen Qiushan decided not to hide it and sat down next to his son.
"Yeah."
Shen Yixiao nodded earnestly: "Aunt has been good to both Shen Yanran and me since we were kids. If you two are together, there won’t be any issues with a stepmom treating us poorly."
"Besides, Aunt is quite accomplished herself..."
"Moreover, both Shen Yanran and I are grown up; we’ll probably have our own families in the future. You should have someone by your side for mutual care, and if that person is Aunt, Shen Yanran and I would be more at ease!"
Hearing his son’s words, Shen Qiushan felt quite touched. He patted Shen Yixiao on the shoulder: "Yeah, you’ve really grown up!"
"Matured!"
"That’s right!"
"I’m an adult now!"
Shen Yixiao smugly shrugged his shoulders.
"But for now, don’t tell anyone about this, including your sister!"
"You know your grandpa’s temper, so it can’t be made public for now. When the time is right, I’ll announce it myself!"
Shen Qiushan advised quietly.
"Dad, don’t worry."
"I certainly won’t say anything!"
Shen Yixiao immediately assured, patting his chest.
"Yeah, I trust you!"
"Get some rest early!"
Shen Qiushan patted his son’s shoulder again, then prepared to return to his room to sleep.
But Shen Yixiao called out to him: "Dad, um, there’s something....."
"Say it."
Shen Qiushan glanced suspiciously at his mischievous son.
"Since I have a fracture, I’ll be sitting most of the time for quite a while, it’s really boring, so I’d like an Alienware laptop."
Shen Yixiao directly stated his request.
"An Alienware laptop?"
Shen Qiushan’s mouth twitched slightly; he had thought this mischievous kid had really matured.
He never expected it!
This kid still had another move up his sleeve!
"Dad, aren’t we going to Grandpa’s house tomorrow?"
"If the laptop arrives tomorrow, I’ll stay home to receive it..."
Seeing his dad not responding, Shen Yixiao continued speaking.
"You pick one yourself, then send me the link on WeChat!"
Shen Qiushan rolled his eyes at his mischievous son, then strode back to his room, thinking to himself: "Reverse astrological trick, it’s truly a reverse astrological trick!"
