Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and finally let go of his grip.
“Oh, right.”
Su Wanwan suddenly coughed a couple of times, hinting, “I will be practicing a show these next couple of days so I won’t be home.”
The originally mild expression on Huo Jingshen’s handsome face immediately darkened, “How many days?”
“Not much, just one week,” she replied.
Huo Jingshen’s face darkened even more: “One week isn’t a long time?”
Is one week a long time?
Su Wanwan blinked innocently.
She looked innocent and naive.
“One week means you will leave your husband alone for a week.”
Su Wanwan was speechless, “Can we not talk about everything in that context? Can we have a normal conversation?”
“Your husband is a normal man, it’s natural for him to desire romance,” he argued.
What nonsense!
Su Wanwan pouted, “Anyway, I won’t be home these few days. Call me if you need anything.”
“Your husband’s birthday is on the 20th.” Huo Jingshen reminded her, yet… “Didn’t I already give you a birthday gift? You’re so greedy! Listen, I am broke already. Unless you give me another 2000…no, 5000 bucks!”
Saying so, she extended her small hand in front of him.
Huo Jingshen: “…”
This girl is digging her hand into the money jar, isn’t she?
He narrowed his eyes, “I’ll transfer it to you later.”
“Really?” Su Wanwan was slightly surprised, hastily added, “5000 bucks, remember your promise.”
“Hmm.”
“Thankyou Husband!”
Su Wanwan beamed.
At her “Dear Husband” call, Huo Jingshen was very pleased, “Okay, go now.” “Goodbye, dear husband! Remember to transfer the money to me!” Having finished, Su Wanwan got off the car, practically hopping and skipping as she entered the university gate.
Watching her back, Huo Jingshen couldn’t help but laugh softly before driving off.
Not much later, his phone that was on the dashboard suddenly lit up.
He glanced at the caller ID, then picked up, wearing his earphones, “Yes?”
“Big Bro, I heard you sawmy sister just now. How did it feel?”
“Felt nothing.”
“Howcan meeting an old lover not evoke feelings?”
“Are you itching for a beating?”
Chu Xiuhuang laughed on the other end of the call, “If it weren’t for you going off to the United Kingdom and she to Australia, who knows, I might have been holding a grandnephew right now.”
“You do have a grandnephew.”
“Didn’t my sister tell you? That kid was adopted by her and her husband.”
“Oh.”
“You’re so indifferent.” Chu Xiuhuang clucked, “So heartless. Now that you have a twenty-year-old girl, you’ve forgotten your childhood sweetheart. How come I heard that my sister used to visit you quite often in England? Weren’t there any sparks?”
Huo Jingshen chuckled, “I also heard you’ve been on blind dates recently?” Alright, bring on the mutual insults.
As expected, Chu Xiuhuang started cussing, “Damn, the old man has been trying to hook me up lately. He’s been pushing women’s profiles to my secretary all day. All of them are pretentious, female PhDs or female graduate students. They aren’t even as pretty as the girls on TikTok…”
Suddenly.
“What is TikTok?”
Huo Jingshen has heard his wife mention it more than once.
Chu Xiuhuang was stunned for a moment, then…
“Pfftt, hahaha!”
Huo Jingshen’s face darkened immediately, “I’m hanging up.”
“Don’t, Big bro, I won’t laugh anymore, okay? Come out tonight for a get- together. I’ll get Xiao San to explain TikTok to you in detail. You can’t refuse, okay? When was the last time you had a drink with your bros?”
Remembering Su Wanwan’s earlier statement about practicing for a show these few days, Huo Jingshen raised his brows and agreed, “Alright.”

Nancheng University.
Su Wanwan hurried to the designated classroom, which was already filled with people.
“You finally came.” Lin Qiao rebuked sarcastically, “Everyone is here and we’ve just been waiting for you, Su Wanwan. Aren’t you ashamed?”
Su Wanwan glanced at the time, “I arrived at the agreed time.”
It was 1:30 in the afternoon, right on time.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qjao raised her voice, “This classroom is to be used at two o’clock. So we all came half an hour earlier. We called you at one o’clock, but you didn’t pickup. You show up half an hour late and yet still complain?”
Su Wanwan glanced at her, “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I had put my phone on silent. And, I wasn’t aware that the classroom was to be used.”
“That’s clearly just an excuse!”
“Okay, okay.” Zhao Qjanqian jumped in to mediate, “Everyone has their issues. Since Su Wanwan is here now, let’s discuss the show.”
“Next time be more active. If you didn’t want to participate, you should’ve said so earlier. Since you decided to join, please pay attention to the time!” Lin Qiao adamantly argued.
Su Wanwan smiled slightly, “I did not want to participate, but Zhao Qianqian insisted that I must. Given that, may I ask the literature committee if I could withdraw now?”
“Of course not.” Lin Qiao said with a triumphant look, “The show was already decided on earlier. Our class will present two acts. And since you are a newcomer, you will present a solo act.”
A solo act?
Su Wanwan frowned immediately, “Did you do this on purpose?”
“You didn’t come here earlier. The class teacher kept hurrying us, we called you but you didn’t pick up, so I just submitted it.”
Lin Qiao’s smile grew even wider.
You think you’re so capable, Su Wanwan?
Well then, go up there and perform your solo act!
A person with absolutely no talent, I really want to see what you can perform!
