After the Fall of the Pretended Gentle Widow's Husband

Synopsis: [The main text has ended, extras are updating in progress ~]

Wen Zhi's parents had a child in middle age, raised him for several years, and couldn’t wait to hand him over to her eldest son who had just finished summer vacation.

The couple relaxed on a honeymoon, leaving Wen Zhi and the unfamiliar Xiao Tuanzi to look at each other awkwardly.

Wen Zhi was very reluctant.

He is a youthful university student; why would he endure the hardships of a single father?

He especially hated having to take his brother to all sorts of hobby classes in the scorching sun.

Until one day, Wen Zhi passed by a newly opened swimming pool.

A young coach broke the surface of the water, droplets falling from his sharp lower jawline rolled over his firm abdominal muscles.

Wen Zhi stared for a long time and, upon returning home, coaxed Xiao Tuanzi with a smile.

"Tell me, brother, you want to learn to swim, right?"

Song Juelan finished his college entrance exam and was invited by a friend to help out at a swimming pool at home.

One day, a handsome young man appeared at the entrance holding a child barely at thigh height.

His face was overly beautiful, yet his eyes carried a faint weariness; his lips were slightly pale, easily sparking a protective instinct in people.

The young man looked around confusedly, hesitated, and then glanced at him.

"Excuse me… do you still accept new students?"

Song Juelan took out the application form from the front desk and asked the young man to fill in his child's parents' information.

The young man lowered his long eyelashes and said, "Can I just fill in my own name?"

Song Juelan felt pity for this young man who had lost his companion.

Later, inside the cramped employee break room, the beds were in disarray.

Song Juelan lowered his head and kissed Wen Zhi's flushed eye corners.

He straightened up, stared at Wen Zhi's wet pupils, and solemnly promised: "I will be responsible for you, and from now on, Xiao Tang will be my child."

Song Juelan didn't expect that.

The next day, Wen Zhi vanished without a trace, leaving him only a letter.

In the letter he said he was going to find his child's father.

Song Juelan crumpled the letter into a ball.

After spending a night messing up, Wen Zhi could not fix it before school started, so he wrote a hurried letter.

One day, a roommate dragged him to a mingling event with freshmen.

Stepping into the bar's private room, Wen Zhi immediately regretted it.

Song Juelan, seated among the crowd, gave a cold glance that didn't recognize him.

When everyone was too drunk, Wen Zhi was trapped in the bathroom.

Song Juelan rubbed his lips gently and asked coldly, "Did you find your child's father?"
