166. He is a Virgin (Bonus Chapter)
Creak.
The door handle turned, and Little Yuan’s figure rushed into the house.
“Mom, are you sick?!”
The little one immediately threw herself into Wen Han’s arms, who smiled and rubbed her head: “Uncle, did you two get caught in the rain?”
“No,” Su Zeheng replied, putting away the umbrella. “I planned to buy some ingredients to cook dinner because I saw you weren’t feeling well, but it started pouring heavily, so now…”
He smiled awkwardly.
Wen Han tilted her head: “So, Uncle, do you have plans for tonight?”
“Plans?” Su Zeheng shook his head, “No.”
In that moment, he felt like he understood what Wen Han wanted to ask, filled with both anticipation and confusion.
Wen Han smiled silently, suddenly closing her mouth on purpose.
This made Su Zeheng a bit uncomfortable, but he couldn’t ask directly.
Should I just casually ask? It seems not…?
He suddenly felt a slight sense of loss.
On the other hand, Wen Han nodded.
I really am so naughty~
But the time is almost up; after a little disappointment, hope arrives, and happiness can feel even more joyful!
“Uncle.” She suddenly looked up, “I don’t feel like moving much tonight either. How about we go eat together?”
“Eat?” Though it was a question, a faint smile appeared on Su Zeheng’s face, “The three of us?”
“Yeah!” Wen Han looked puzzled, “What else?”
“…Okay.”
He had initially planned to pretend to be reserved, but Su Zeheng couldn’t escape the temptation and suppressed his inner joy to agree.
Wen Han smiled.
Because this meant that he was beginning to fall into her gentle embrace, and you could even say Su Zeheng’s heart was no longer entirely under his own control.
But I… Wen Han will take control!
……
The early autumn in the south couldn’t chase away the lingering heat of summer.
But due to health reasons, Wen Han put on a thin jacket, holding Little Yuan as they left the house with Su Zeheng.
The cramped elevator had only the three of them.
Su Zeheng stole a glance at his side, feeling a strange thrum in his heart at this scene.
“Uncle, what do you want to eat?” Wen Han was slightly reserved in front of her daughter.
Su Zeheng tilted his head: “How about you?”
As soon as he spoke, he didn’t know why, but he recalled what she had said before.
“A man without opinions won’t be liked by girls~!”
He immediately instinctively spoke up again: “How about hot pot? There’s also a Sichuan restaurant that’s pretty good! Cantonese cuisine? Or Northeastern dishes? I think there’s a famous Jiangsu-Zhejiang restaurant recently too.”
“Uncle, are you just listing dish names here?” Wen Han smiled lightly.
At this moment, Little Yuan also raised her head: “Mom, I want to eat hot pot.”
“Okay, then let’s order hot pot.”
Wen Han made the decision and turned to look at the open elevator.
“Uncle, let’s go~”
……
The hot pot restaurant was bustling with people.
The rain outside had stopped, and the interior was packed with young boys and girls, making Wen Han and Su Zeheng not stand out.
Ding!
Just after ordering a yin-yang pot, Wen Han’s phone rang.
She glanced at it: “Uncle, my friend is looking for me. Can I invite her to join us?”
“Sure.”
“Oh! She’s very pretty~ And you’ve met her before.” Wen Han chuckled, “If you like her, should I introduce her to you?”
“?”
One moment she claims to be his girlfriend, the next she wants to introduce him to someone else.
Which of her words is true and which is false?
Su Zeheng suddenly fell silent, instantly transforming into a detective, uncontrollably analyzing every word Wen Han had said from start to finish.
He felt conflicted, secretly delighted, and then dejected.
Wen Han watched everything intently; she understood he had thoroughly bitten the bait, just a step away from being pulled ashore.
A moment later.
“Lin Na, over here!!!”
Pulling back her curious gaze, Wen Han stood up and waved.
Lin Na, having dropped her umbrella, rushed over: “Why did you suddenly want to eat hot… huh?!” She suddenly looked at Su Zeheng, “Su Zeheng? You two…”
She stared at the two with astonishment.
The table fell silent.
After a while, Little Yuan blinked, breaking the silence: “Aunt, do you know my dad?”
“…Dad?!!!”
This unexpected shock drew the attention of those around.
Lin Na hurriedly squeezed to Wen Han’s side, wide-eyed: “You two… are you together?!”
Wen Han smiled but said nothing, silently looking at Su Zeheng.
Su Zeheng immediately felt Lin Na’s gaze and was momentarily unsure how to respond.
Should he say yes? He felt no confidence.
Should he say no? What if Wen Han thinks I don’t like her?
The cautiousness of a crush mixed with turmoil filled every corner of his heart.
Su Zeheng had no choice but to change the subject: “Miss Lin, what do you want to eat?”
Lin Na took the menu, her eyes unblinking: “Oh my God, Su Zeheng, I’ve known Wen Han for so many years, and you’re the first! Really!”
“…” Su Zeheng smiled awkwardly.
“Why are you still shy?” Lin Na rolled her eyes, “And, Wen Han, why didn’t you tell me?”
Wen Han smirked: “What do you think I invited you here for today?”
“Hmph! Looks like the relationship has ended!”
“How about I treat you to the best dessert shop in Star River City later?”
“Hmph! Not enough! I also want a cup of milk tea!”
“Okay, okay, okay!”
The two best friends joked and laughed, but Su Zeheng’s expression kept changing across the table.
Wen Han’s words plunged him back into confusion; he wasn’t clear on what level their relationship truly stood at.
“Why didn’t I start dating earlier? Now it’s got all so complicated…”
Rubbing his head, Su Zeheng heard Lin Na exclaim again: “Go, go, go! Three of us crammed together is too much. Go sit with your man!”
“Tch!”
He had just lifted his head when he suddenly saw Wen Han helplessly walk over and sit beside him.
“Uncle, what’s wrong?”
Wen Han feigned concern, her captivating eyes seeming to draw him in.
Su Zeheng shook his head: “Nothing… how are you feeling?”
“I’m fine~”
“Wen Han, what’s wrong?” Lin Na, overhearing the conversation, couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Seeing Wen Han shake her head, Lin Na’s expression changed instantly: “Come on, when did you two get together?”
“Got together?” Wen Han frowned, “That sounds so harsh!”
“It is! How could you secretly get a boyfriend behind my back!”
“We just started dating,” Wen Han sighed, “Uncle, wasn’t your girlfriend bullied? Why didn’t you fight back?”
Su Zeheng squinted: “…Me?”
“Or what?” Wen Han reached out and tugged at his collar, “Are you breaking up?”
“…”
His throat moved slightly.
He clearly wanted to say that they weren’t in that kind of relationship, but Su Zeheng found he didn’t want to resist, even not wanting to refute.
After a moment of silence, he could only smile: “It’s getting late; let’s eat. I’ll go to the restroom.”
He then hurriedly escaped.
“Wen Han,” glancing at his retreating figure, Lin Na snuck a look, “Your boyfriend seems a bit shy.”
“He’s a virgin,” Wen Han blurted out, “Do you like him? If you do, I can lend him to you for a bit?”
