Looking at the little boy in front of him.
Chen Luo’s brain completely short-circuited at that moment. Could this little guy be Meng Yue’s son and his?
Judging from the timeline, it was very possible.
Let’s calculate the time.
He and Meng Yue had an amicable breakup during the first semester of their senior year. It had been about three and a half years since then, and this little boy looked to be only three or four years old.
He also looked somewhat like him.
“Little one, could you step aside?”
Chen Luo said with a smile.
At that moment, the little boy saw Chen Luo supporting Meng Yue and standing at the doorway, staring blankly at the two of them. His tender little face showed obvious shyness.
After hearing Chen Luo’s words, he finally stepped to the side, clearing the way into the room.
Then Chen Luo supported Teacher Meng into the room, struggled to turn around and close the door, and then turned to look at the little boy.
“Which one is her bedroom?”
“That one.”
The little boy pointed to the bedroom on the left side of the room, and then Chen Luo supported Meng Yue into the left bedroom.
He felt around by the door for a moment.
And finally found the bedroom light switch and turned on the light.
Then he saw the furnishings in Teacher Meng’s bedroom: a clean and tidy double bed, covered with a warm yellow blanket and pure white pillows.
By the window sat a desk, neatly stacked with many documents and the laptop she used for daily work.
Everything was arranged very neatly.
This was indeed Meng Yue’s usual style. She was extremely strict when it came to work, but casual in daily life.
For example…
The underwear she had casually tossed onto the bed at this moment: a sexy purple lace-trimmed pair of panties, along with one pink and one white oversized bra.
“Truly hasn’t changed at all!”
Chen Luo sighed softly.
Then he laid the heavy and solid Meng Yue down on the bed. The soft spring mattress bounced under her weight, causing Meng Yue’s body to bounce along with it.
Chen Luo glanced at her a few times.
It had to be said.
At this moment, Teacher Meng’s allure as she lay drunk on the bed was far greater than when she was awake with her eyes open. That flush of wine-red on her face after getting tipsy made her mature face even more seductively striking.
Especially since she was still wearing office wear…
It would be hard for any ordinary guy to resist. But Chen Luo was still able to stay calm. After all, he had seen everything there was to see back in the day. After a few glances, he averted his gaze.
After that, he went to the foot of the bed to help Teacher Meng take off her shoes. High heels were relatively easy to remove, and in a couple of motions Chen Luo had them off. Then Teacher Meng’s pair of crystal-clear, jade-like feet were exposed under the room’s light.
No excess fat at all.
Fair and flawless.
However, Chen Luo was not some foot fetishist, and he did not have any special preference for jade-like feet. He was simply appreciating them, nothing more.
Then Chen Luo placed the high heels on the shoe rack at the foot of the bed and looked at the underwear casually tossed on the bed. Right now, Meng Yue was still lying on top of one piece.
It had been squished out of shape beneath her.
But after thinking it over, Chen Luo ultimately decided not to tidy up her clothes.
After all, they had already broken up.
Underwear and such…
Were rather intimate items, and it was better that he not touch them.
After that, Chen Luo went to the bedside and covered Teacher Meng with the blanket. He had just covered her up and was preparing to leave the room when he heard Teacher Meng murmuring.
“Chen Luo, why did you delete me? We said we would be friends! You’re a scumbag who doesn’t keep his word!”
“…”
Chen Luo stood to the side.
At a loss for words.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Luo ultimately took Teacher Meng’s phone from her bag and turned on the screen, only for the lock screen password prompt to pop up.
He thought for a few seconds.
Chen Luo entered the four digits ‘1227,’ and Teacher Meng’s phone unlocked. The wallpaper was actually still a photo of the two of them together.
It was a picture taken on the night Teacher Meng celebrated his 20th birthday with him.
Teacher Meng had her arms wrapped around him from behind, her face pressed tightly against his ear and cheek…
Seeing this photo, Chen Luo stared blankly for a few seconds. Then he opened Teacher Meng’s WeChat, took out his own phone, and scanned the code to add Teacher Meng as a friend.
After successfully adding her, Chen Luo placed Meng Yue’s phone on her bedside table, picked up a nearby charger to plug it in for her, then turned off the light and left Meng Yue’s bedroom.
He gently closed the bedroom door.
Chen Luo walked out.
Then he noticed that the room next door had its light on, with the door left slightly ajar. Chen Luo paused for a few seconds and decided to ask, otherwise he would not be able to sleep tonight.
Then Chen Luo entered the little boy’s room. The little boy was currently playing on his phone in bed, and when he saw Chen Luo come in, he slowly looked up at him.
His face showed a hint of nervousness.
“Little one, don’t be nervous. Brother is Teacher Meng’s friend.”
Chen Luo said, trying his best to put on the appearance of a gentle older brother.
On this point, Chen Luo was actually quite experienced. After all, during his two and a half years teaching in a mountain village, he happened to teach at an elementary school, and his students were all of varying ages.
The youngest were only four or five years old, about the same as the little boy in front of him.
“…”
The little boy looked at Chen Luo without speaking.
But the nervousness in his eyes unknowingly diminished a bit. Chen Luo walked to the bedside, sat down, and asked with a smile.
“Little one, what’s your name?”
“My name is Duoduo.”
The little boy said in a tender voice.
“And your full name?”
Chen Luo asked again.
“My full name is Chen Duo.”
The little boy paused before replying.
Hearing this, Chen Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This probably was not his and Meng Yue’s child.
“What is Teacher Meng to you?”
Chen Luo asked again to make sure.
“Auntie Meng is my mom’s friend.”
The little boy Duoduo replied, then asked in a low voice, “Brother, are you Auntie Meng’s boyfriend?”
“You even know what a boyfriend is?”
Chen Luo said, somewhat surprised.
“I know.”
Duoduo nodded and explained, “There are people dating in our class.”
“…They’re already dating at this age?”
A flash of surprise crossed Chen Luo’s face. Then he said to Duoduo, “Brother is going back now. You should stop playing on your phone too. It’s this late, time to go to sleep.”
“I can’t sleep.”
Duoduo shook his head and said, “Auntie Meng hasn’t told me a story today.”
“…”
Chen Luo had nothing to say.
Given how drunk Meng Yue was today, she probably would not be able to tell him a story.
“How about I tell you a story?”
Chen Luo thought for a few seconds and asked.
“That works too.”
Duoduo nodded.
Then Duoduo obediently lay down on the bed. Chen Luo turned off the bedroom light, sat by the desk, and began telling a story by the light of the desk lamp.
“Today we’ll tell the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Once upon a time, in an icy, snowy forest…”
After Chen Luo finished telling the story of Snow White, Duoduo had also fallen asleep.
Chen Luo gently placed the book back on the desk, then slipped out of the bedroom and closed the door. He walked through the living room and returned to his own home.
He took a shower and got into bed.
Tomorrow, when he woke up, he needed to go find a job.
