My Two Dads

, avant-garde uncle.

“How did I turn from older sister to uncle now,” Liu Mu pretended to be sad and said, “It’s an entire level of difference in generations.”

Hearing that familiar voice, Lu Yue Ming immediately recognized him.
He frozed a little before changing his words, “Sorry…senior Mu, hello.”

Liu Mu waved his hand and smiled, “Oh well, you refuse to call me by ‘ge’ anyhow huh.”

It felt wrong no matter what he said.
Lu Yue Ming: “…….”

When Yang Han returned and handed a Coke to Liu Mu, she warmly greeted him, “You’re here, Master Liu!”

Liu Mu curved his index finger and knocked lightly on Yang Han’s head.
“Yes, my unfortunate daughter, I’ve come.”

He then asked, “Do you guys have a lighter here…”

“Go to the bathroom if you want to smoke.” Han Shi Yu returned from washing his hands and took over the cold Coke from Yang Han’s hands.
“Didn’t you say you’re quitting?”

“Fine.” Liu Mu stood up after sighing, then took out a pack of cigarette from his pocket and held to his mouth before walking to the bathroom.

Han Shi Yu saw how stiff Lu Yue Ming was and said, “Hey, relax a little, Xiao Lu.
No need to feel so restrained, you’ve came over so many times already.”

“Ah…Okay.” Lu Yue Ming snapped out of it and realized he had blotted out the ‘xy’ symbol on his paper.

He carefully asked Yang Han, “Are you and uncle really close to senior Mu?”

“I’ve known Master Liu since a long time ago, “Yang Han said, “But I just didn’t know he was wearing the ‘Mu Liu Su’ vest on him.”

Lu Yue Ming: “Oh…”

Yang Han asked, “Xiao Lu, do you know him?”

Lu Yue Ming awkwardly said, “Sort of.”

Liu Mu came out of the bathroom after quite a while.
When he showed up again, his scruff had been cleanly shaven off and he wore a white cap backwards, pressing his hair up a little.
The air of a melancholy uncle had been swept away.

As soon as he came out, he stretched out his arms and asked Lu Yue Ming, “How is it.”

Lu Yue Ming lowered his head and mumbled, “Ge…”

Liu Mu scratched Lu Yue Ming’s chin with a satisfied tone and said, “That’s more like it.”

He seemed to really like this little gesture.
But Lu Yue Ming didn’t.
He would subconsciously hide any part of his face that was tickled as the tip of his ears heated up in response.

“You’ve already touched this gege before,” Liu Mu curved his lips upwards into a smile as he teased him happily.
He laid down on the sofa and refused to back down, “What’s there to still be shy of?”

Lu Yue Ming: “.”

Yang Han: “!”

Han Shi Yu: “?”

Yang Han: “X-Xiao Lu…what did you…do?”

Liu Mu said plainly, “He touched my chest.”

The potato chips Yang Han was snacking on no longer had any taste.
She widened her eyes in shock and looked at Lu Yue Ming.

Lu Yue Ming had always been an upright and open person from the day he was born, just like a blank sheet of paper.
He had never seen such a person who would twist the story so far from the truth like him.
He stuttered, “No…I’m not…I didn’t!”

Han Shi Yu put a stop to Liu Mu and frowned, “Tsk, no talking dirty to a minor.”

Liu Mu: “He’s still underage?”

“…There’s still another month till my 18th birthday.” Lu Yue Ming couldn’t help but interject as he worked on a difficult math question to calm his nerves.

“I’m old now,” Liu Mu suddenly started lamenting about how time passed so fast, “When you were still in your mother’s womb, this uncle had already finished with college entrance exams.”

He was silent for a moment before he corrected himself, “No, it’s gege.”
