Start a Core Pod

 When Duanmuhuai and Xiaoru walked out of the hotel again, it was already night time.

 “I’m really sorry, uncle.”

Standing next to Duanmuhuai, Xiaoyu seemed to be very depressed, completely losing the happy expression he had on the bed before. After hearing Xiaoru's apology, Duanmuhuai looked at her doubtfully.

"Um?"

“It’s just...I don’t know much about these things. I can’t make you happy like Aiko-senpai..."

It's no wonder Xiaoru said this. Basically, the way Duanmuhuai and Aiko meet is that they meet, then go shopping together, buy some things, have dinner, and then go to the hotel. Aiko seemed to be enjoying the whole process, just like a couple.

Of course, most of the money spent here is Duanmuhuai's money, but he is not short of that money now. Besides, this money is not in vain, and he will still make it all back in bed later. Therefore, Duanmuhuai didn't mind wandering around with Aizi, going around and having fun. In many cases, mood and foreplay are also very important, right?

As for Xiaolu... Duanmuhuai came to the family restaurant to meet her before. After the two looked at each other, Xiaolu was silent for a moment, and then looked directly at Duanmuhuai and said this.

 “Want to go to the hotel now?”

Hmm... I have to say, it's quite straightforward, with no foreshadowing at all.

 “Don’t think too much, everyone has a different style.”

Duanmuhuai reached out and patted Xiaolu on the head.

"As far as I'm concerned, it's fine for you to be like this. Do you want me to call a car to take you home?"

　　……I want to stay a little longer.”

 “Then let’s go sit nearby for a while.”

After that, Duanmuhuai took Xiaoyu to a fast food restaurant, then found a seat to sit down and ordered some hamburgers and cola. Xiaoru was sitting on the chair next to Duanmuhuai, staring at the night scene outside the window, fiddling with the Coke straw in her hand.

 “Why would uncle do such a thing?”

 “Hmm? You ask me?”

Hearing Xiaoru's question, Duanmuhuai was stunned for a moment. Isn't it the usual routine for men to ask women why they do such things? The result is actually the other way around?

 “Of course it’s because I’m very happy.”

 “Because the uncle doesn’t have a girlfriend?”

 “I still have girlfriends, and there are quite a few of them.”

 When it comes to dignity, Duanmu Huai cannot shake his head here. Although he could understand why Xiaoru asked this, Duanmuhuai must not let the other party think that he was a pitiful man who could only use this method to find women when no one wanted him.

 “You obviously have a girlfriend?”

 “This is different.”

Duanmu Huai also leaned on the back of the chair, and the chair he was pressing on made a sad "squeak" sound.

"Maintaining a relationship is very energy-consuming, and I don't like troublesome and entangled relationships. It's good like Aiko and I. We meet, chat, drink tea, eat, and then go to a hotel. It's an experience They are all happy things. And you don’t have to worry about her usual mood, whether she will be upset, angry, or whether there will be changes in interpersonal relationships... To put it bluntly, it’s simple and convenient, and you don’t have to be responsible.”

 Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Xiaoru frowned slightly.

　　… “It’s really too much.”

“I don’t deny it, so this kind of thing is actually not suitable for a serious girl like you.”

Duanmuhuai also picked up the Coke and took a sip, then looked at Xiaoru next to him.

"Everyone comes out to have fun, so it's enough to hit it off and be happy with each other. If you think too seriously, you will be troubled. Maintaining a long-term relationship is different from a brief encounter by chance. Because if you are determined to be with the other person for a long time If you are dating, then you have to consider not only the immediate things, but also the future. But if it is just a short relationship, then you don't need to think about the future, and it will be very relaxed. "

 At this point, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"I have never thought about dating my son, and I guess my son has never thought about dating me. For us, each other is just a passerby in each other's life. The time we are together is like the same time. Passengers riding a tram are in the same carriage. But when the tram arrives at the station, we will go our separate ways and never see each other again. It is precisely because we know this that we can have so much fun. You see, this It's like there are some things you can't say to your friends or people close to you, but you can say them to strangers, because you know that you will only see each other once, and you will never see each other again after separation. But if you want to talk to someone you see every day It’s very uncomfortable when people say this, isn’t it?”

"Indeed...there is some truth to this."

Xiaoru stared at the Coke cup in her hand, spinning it around in circles.

“Then...uncle, can you listen to my complaint?”

"no problem."

Duanmuhuai chuckled and raised the Coke in his hand.

"what do you want to say?"

 “I just can’t figure it out, men and women.”

 “…This proposition is a bit too philosophical.”

Hearing Xiao Ru's answer, Duanmu Huai was dumbfounded. He teaches physical education, so don't ask philosophical questions.

 Fortunately, Xiaoru's worries soon turned to more specific aspects.

“My mother divorced my father when I was very young. Since then, my mother has always hated men and always cursed them..."

"oh………"

"However, my mother has changed again recently. She met a new man, and then my mother became full of smiles again and was very happy every day." Speaking of this, Xiaoyu frowned.

"To be honest, I don't hate such a mother, but I always feel that I can't accept it. Because since I was a child, my mother has always told me that 'men are not good things' and 'men are not trustworthy', but now, She fell in love with another man again..."

　　　…………”

Duanmuhuai ate his hamburger silently and listened to Xiaolu's worries.

Well, at least this is more decent than the nonsense troubles caused by my own students.

 “And, I have a sister.”

"oh………"

"My sister is different from me. She is lively and cheerful, and she is beautiful, very popular, and has a very sense of justice. To be honest, at that time, I thought my sister was different from my mother, and she would definitely be able to find a good boyfriend. But. result……"

 Xiaoru stared at the paper cup in his hand and squeezed it tightly.

 “She actually dated a married man...!”

　　　…………This is really………”

 Hey guys, what an urban emotional drama.

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai couldn't help but sigh.

"I can't understand. There are so many men in the world, and many of the men who like my sister are very good. But why does my sister choose a married man? Although she rarely talks about that man in front of me. But sometimes I can see that my sister is not happy, which makes me even more confused. She is obviously unhappy, but she insists on being with a married man. Why? Moreover, my sister Haven't you always had a sense of justice? She clearly knows that this kind of thing is wrong...!"

"Um………"

"I also asked my sister, but she just told me that I was just a child and didn't understand this at all..."

 “I see, that’s why you came to ask for my son’s help?”

 Hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally figured out the sequence relationship.

“Yes, I also want to know, what are the differences between men and women when they are together, so that my mother and sister seem to be different people..."

 “So you got the answer?”

　　　…………”

 Xiao Ru shook her head.

"A little bit. I also understand that many times you will be very happy, as if you have forgotten all your worries. Maybe it is because of this that my mother and sister seem to have changed. But... I still feel Somewhat unacceptable..."

“Emotions cannot be forced.”

Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and bit into the ice cubes in the cup.

"You don't need to force yourself to accept it. Everyone's ideas are different. It's enough for you to keep your ideas. The other things are not important, right? But to be honest, a child with your personality actually has a relationship with your beloved son. We have a good relationship, which is really rare.”

After all, in Duanmu Huai's view, Xiaoyu is like the top student in the class with a serious personality, while Aiko is more like the kind of person who enjoys life in a short time. Logically speaking, these two types of people are either Either water and fire are incompatible, or water in a well does not interfere with the river. Xiaoyu actually has such a good relationship with Aiko, which really makes Duanmuhuai a little curious.

“Aiko-senpai was never like this before...”

　　Xiaoru stopped talking when she said this. Her relationship with Aiko may be closer, but if she continues, it will involve personal privacy, so she won't eat this Guaduanmuhuai.

 After all, it’s fun to eat from people you don’t know, but it’s a bit embarrassing to eat from people you know.

 “Thank you, uncle, for listening to what I have to say today.”

Standing on the side of the street, looking at Duanmuhuai, Xiaoru also lowered his head.

“Sure enough, just like what the uncle said, it would be much more comfortable to talk to someone unfamiliar with this kind of thing.”

 “What should I say? Come on...”

Duanmu Huai was also filled with emotions. Indeed, his mother was divorced and his sister was a mistress. A normal person would definitely not be able to tell the people around him about this kind of thing.

“Yes, can I ask uncle out next time?”

“Of course, do you still plan to continue?”

“Well, my mother and the man heard that they were going to remarry, so I plan to live out, and I need to save money for this. If the uncle thinks I can..."

"no problem."

Duanmuhuai chuckled, stretched out his hand and patted Xiaolu on the head.

 “If you have time, you can make an appointment with me at any time.”

 Watching the taxi's taillight disappear into the street under the neon lights, Duanmuhuai also stretched.

 It’s almost time to go back.
