“After getting to know her in the morning, did you spend the rest of the day chatting her up?” Xu Lan’s temples were throbbing and his hands shivered.

“Uhm… I came home for lunch,” Bai Wu answered after giving it some thought.

“Ugh! What did you both talk about?” Xu Lan felt his chest tightened.

“Life at the university, I think it’s something that I’ll like. We also talked about our crushes,” Bai Wu answered honestly.

“Then?” For a moment, Xu Lan thought his blood froze. He reached for the water on the table. He was not mentally prepared for this yet!

He wondered if the day to hand Bai Wu over to someone else had come. Xu Lan turned around stiffly and stole a glance at Bai Wu – with his handsome face and sturdy build, women would flock to him.

“I told her that I love Papa the most! She said that someone my age shouldn’t be overly attached to Papa. She even offered to get me a job, she knows a cafe-owner who’s hiring and I’m exactly who they’re looking for. Hmm, what did she mean by someone like me?” Bai Wu asked in confusion.

“Did you say yes to that?” Xu Lan did not know what to feel — especially when Bai Wu said he should not be overly attached to his papa. His throat was dry and he struggled to utter even a single syllable.

“Uh, no. However, I think she’s right. I can’t keep this up. Papa is working hard everyday and I would like to contribute too,” Bai Wu replied in a serious tone after he pondered upon it.

Xu Lan sighed deeply. All these while, he had been treating Bai Wu as a three-year-old. He did not notice how much Bai Wu had grown. He knew what he wanted and he would fight for it. Soon, girls would be flocking to him and he would spend the rest of his life with the girl of his choice. Perhaps one day, Bai Wu would come home with his wife and children to visit this lonely old man.

Yes! That would be him, a lonely old man!

“The dimensional crack appeared just now. If we were to spend time apart, do you think…” Xu Lan prompted. He was not keen on the idea of Bai Wu working at the cafe.

“It’s fine. The crack is still small, I can go out,” Bai Wu replied happily.

“Ah, I see,” Xu Lan replied distractedly.

‘Is there a way that I can stop Bai Wu from going out?’ Xu Lan thought.

There was no way that Xu Lan could stop Bai Wu from going out. Bai Wu was a grown-up and it was impossible to lock him up at home or to bring him to work. Xu Lan felt that his brain was crippled and his thought process was a mess.

He decided to wash up and to get a good night’s rest. He supposed that he was just not used to the sudden change in Bai Wu’s attitude. ‘By tomorrow or day after, sooner or later I’ll get used to it,’ thought Xu Lan.

However, his feet were heavy. He could not move them, it was as though they were filled with lead. At the same time, his body was moving forward. Before he knew it, he fell again.

“Papa!” Once again, Bai Wu caught him. Bai Wu did not know if he should be happy or guilty about Xu Lan’s current state of mind. Bai Wu put Xu Lan on his lap and buried his head in Xu Lan’s chest.

“Papa, I won’t go if you’re not comfortable with it,” Bai Wu said lazily with his sexy voice.

“It’s fine… Go ahead. It’s good to meet new people and make some friends,” Xu Lan said grumpily.

“Xiao Xiao said the exact same thing as you did. She even said that I might meet my next girlfriend over there,” Bai Wu teased. Xiao Xiao did not say so, she merely suggested for Bai Wu to incite Xu Lan by bringing up the topic on girlfriend.

Xu Lan felt like a deflated ball. He no longer had the emotional capacity to be bothered anymore. ‘He’s going to leave soon. I knew this would happen sooner or later, but I didn’t think that it would be so soon,’ Xu Lan thought.
