Awkward Politeness, Is This What You Mean by "Your Dad's Not Home"

Things had already come to this.

If Lin Yu kept refusing, it would only make him look as though he had something to hide.

Where did it matter where they ate?

If Huang Feiya really intended to seduce him, finding somewhere private would probably make things easier.

With that thought in mind,

Lin Yu tugged at his seat belt and asked, “Is it far?”

“Far enough for me to get a little sleep?”

Huang Feiya started the car and replied, “About thirty minutes. You can take a nap.”

“I’ll wake you when we get there. I’ll try to drive smoothly.”

……

It was nearly eight o’clock that evening.

At Huang Feiya’s home.

The kitchen occasionally echoed with the whooshing sounds of stir-frying.

In the living room, Lin Yu sat stiffly on the sofa, watching a prime-time TV drama.

“Xiao Lin, don’t just sit there. Have some fruit.”

“This orange is pretty good—nice and sweet.”

“Do you need more tea?”

A slightly chubby, rather simple-looking elderly gentleman sat on the sofa, awkwardly making conversation with Lin Yu.

This man was none other than Huang Feiya’s father, Huang Daoqi!

“Okay, okay, Uncle Huang. You don’t have to fuss over me.”

“I can get it myself. Thanks.”

Lin Yu replied calmly on the surface.

Inside, however, ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his mind!

Wasn’t it agreed that your dad wouldn’t be home?

And what happened?

Huh?!

They hadn’t even been inside for ten minutes when Huang Daoqi showed up carrying fruit!

At the time, Huang Feiya had been cooking in the kitchen.

Lin Yu had even been the one to open the door for Huang Daoqi.

The instant they saw each other,

they had both been completely dumbfounded.

What a disaster!

He would definitely remember this lesson forever.

With an encounter like this, they absolutely could not meet at either person’s home.

Fortunately, they had only come over for a simple meal and hadn’t reached the stage of getting intimate.

If they had already been worked up and things had gone too far…

The consequences were simply too horrifying to imagine!

“Lin Yu, the food’s ready. Come eat.”

Huang Feiya’s voice came from the dining room next door.

Lin Yu cast an awkward glance at Huang Daoqi…

What the hell was he supposed to say?

She had only called Lin Yu over to eat while leaving her own father sitting there without an invitation?

No matter how thick-skinned Lin Yu was, he couldn’t just walk over and start eating.

Besides,

if Lin Yu said, “Uncle Huang, why don’t you come eat with us?”—

that would make things even more bizarre!

Whose house was this, anyway?

Who was the host and who was the guest?

It wasn’t his place to start playing host to someone else!

“Lin Yu?”

“Did you hear me?”

“Come eat!”

Seeing that Lin Yu still hadn’t moved, Huang Feiya began calling out even louder.

Huang Daoqi clearly saw how awkward Lin Yu felt.

He took an orange and said, “Xiao Lin, go on over and eat.”

“I already ate before I came. We have dinner early at home.”

“I happened to be passing by Xiaoya’s place, so I bought a few oranges to bring over.”

“I’ll sit here a little longer, then I’ll be on my way.”

Huang Daoqi raised his hand, signaling Lin Yu not to be so tense.

He truly wasn’t making excuses.

Huang Feiya herself had been surprised that her father would suddenly appear at her apartment.

If she had known he was coming, she definitely wouldn’t have brought Lin Yu home.

It had already been difficult enough just to meet Lin Yu.

How could Huang Feiya possibly waste such an opportunity?

“Okay, Uncle Huang… then I’ll… go over there,” Lin Yu said with an awkward smile, pointing toward the dining room.

Huang Daoqi nodded cheerfully.

The moment Lin Yu entered the dining room,

he immediately shifted in his seat and grabbed the remote control from the sofa.

He turned the TV volume down a few notches.

At the same time, he moved from the long sofa to a single armchair closer to the dining area.
