Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 50 - 47: Taking Dad on a Date

Lin Xiamo’s tone was like a wife catching her husband going to a foot spa.

If Shen Qiushan hadn’t been without a wife for so long, he might have mistaken the woman in front of him for his wife.

However, Shen Qiushan could understand how this sister-in-law felt right now. Just a few days ago, she had given him twenty thousand yuan, and now here he was, at a cosmetic center.

She most likely thought he was recklessly squandering the money.

"Yaoyao, you’ve met her."

"This is Yaoyao’s mother. I’m here to discuss something with her."

Feeling a bit guilty, Shen Qiushan instinctively hid the fact that he was there for a spa treatment.

"Miss Lin."

"Do you know Younger Brother Shen?"

Luo Meimei’s awaited guest was Lin Xiamo, who was a regular client.

However, Lin Xiamo rarely spoke. Every time she came, she would do her treatment and leave, with little interaction between the two.

So, they weren’t really familiar.

Moreover, Luo Meimei was very perceptive; if a customer did not like to chat, she would stay silent.

"Mm."

Lin Xiamo nodded lightly. She was also surprised that Luo Meimei was Luo Yao’s mother.

A few days ago, while having hotpot with Luo Yao, they had a brief conversation, and she thought her nephew’s girlfriend was quite adorable.

However, since they were both high school students, they shouldn’t be focusing on dating. Naturally, she didn’t support their relationship.

Little did she know, the beautician who frequently did her spa was actually the mother of her nephew’s girlfriend.

The world is indeed small.

"Xiamo, you go ahead."

"Xiaoxiao is waiting for us!"

Shen Qiushan said and quickly led Luo Yao out of the cosmetic center.

After they left, Luo Meimei cheerfully asked, "Miss Lin, what treatment are you having today?"

"Facial spa!"

Lin Xiamo replied calmly, but her eyes were fixed on the Shen Qiushan outside, who had just mounted his electric scooter.

"Sister Luo, did he come to talk about the kids?"

Lin Xiamo asked for a change.

"Yes, he did!"

Being astute, Luo Meimei figured out that Younger Brother Shen did not want Lin Xiamo to know he was there for a full-body whitening spa, so she helped keep it a secret.

"Oh."

Seeing that Shen Qiushan was just there to talk about the kids, Lin Xiamo felt a bit guilty; her attitude earlier was too aggressive.

It seemed her longstanding prejudices had formed a mountain in her heart.

She instinctively thought he was there to squander money.

And forgot he was a man.

Why was he at a cosmetic center like this!

Lin Xiamo reflected quietly.

"Miss Lin, if I may ask,"

"are you well-acquainted with Younger Brother Shen?"

When they reached the second-floor beauty room, Luo Meimei couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"I’m Shen Yixiao’s second aunt."

Lin Xiamo answered coolly.

"Huh?"

"Miss Lin is actually Xiaoxiao’s second aunt?" Luo Meimei was quite surprised.

She never expected her regular client to have such a connection with her.

If in the future, her daughter really got together with Shen Yixiao, she and this Miss Lin would become "in-laws."

Luo Meimei knew that Shen Yixiao didn’t have a mother.

According to the elders,

when a kid loses their mom, "aunt" or "aunty" acts like half a mom.

Hence the existence of such terms as "aunt" and "aunty."

Therefore, in some sense, this Miss Lin is like half a mom to Shen Yixiao.

"A few days ago, I met Yaoyao once. She’s a lovely and likable girl."

"I’m not against her dating Xiaoxiao, but it’s not the right time. The college entrance exam is in less than three months."

Lin Xiamo took the initiative to say.

"Yes, indeed!"

"We think alike."

"And since our Yaoyao is a girl, I worry even more."

"However, if we take drastic measures, it might lead to rebellion in both kids, making it harder to deal with..."

Luo Meimei said, shaking her head gently.

Lin Xiamo nodded; Shen Qiushan had just told her similar things a few days ago.

She also felt that taking drastic measures now was not wise.

"I’ll keep an eye on them as much as I can!"

Tomorrow is Monday, and Lin Xiamo will officially assume the position of vice-principal at Sanjiang City High School.

She’ll be at school every day, making it naturally more convenient to watch over Shen Yixiao and Luo Yao.

Luo Meimei had no idea that her customer would become the vice-principal of her daughter’s school. She smiled and agreed, "I will also keep an eye on them!"

"Younger Brother Shen too."

"He was just going to keep an eye on those two..."

So that’s how it was.

Hearing Luo Meimei say this, Lin Xiamo felt even more guilty, realizing how much bias she had against her brother-in-law.

Qian Da Mall.

Shen Yixiao and Luo Yao, this young couple, successfully met up.

However, they were accompanied by two major third wheels.

While watching a movie in the theater, this young couple was separated like the stars Altair and Vega.

The four seats from left to right were Luo Yao, Shen Yanran, Shen Qiushan, and Shen Yixiao.

Between this young couple were two huge mountains.

During the movie, Shen Yixiao instinctively reached out to hold his girlfriend’s hand.

But, instead, he grasped his dad’s heavily calloused hand.

Shen Yixiao was at a loss for words.

Who goes on dates like this!

"Dad, can I discuss something with you?"

Taking advantage of a lull in the movie, Shen Yixiao whispered.

"Speak."

Shen Qiushan stared at the big screen, without glancing aside.

"After the movie, could you take Shen Yanran home first?"

"No."

Shen Qiushan flatly refused.

"Dad, am I your biological son?"

"Can’t a person enjoy dating?"

Shen Yixiao said with a mournful face.

"Once you get into college, you can date however you like."

"If I could avoid managing you, I would!"

Shen Qiushan remained firm in his stance.

"Dad, if that’s the case!"

"Don’t blame me for showing no mercy in tomorrow’s English vocabulary competition!"

Shen Yixiao gritted his teeth and said.

"By all means, show no mercy."

"The arena is like a battlefield; tomorrow there are only competitors, not father and son."

Shen Qiushan shrugged lightly.

"Does our previous bet still count?"

"If I win, will you stop being my study buddy?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Shen Yixiao had enough of sitting with his dad every day.

"Of course it counts."

"That’s good!"

Shen Yixiao silently clenched his fist, already anticipating tomorrow’s English vocabulary competition.

It’s not just a chance to restore pride by defeating his dad.

It’s also a test of the results of the "training camp" for him and the other student-athletes.

"Don’t forget there’s something important tomorrow morning too."

Just as Shen Yixiao was quietly gathering strength, his dad’s voice rang in his ear again: "During the flag-raising ceremony, you still have to go up and make a public confession!"
