It was just past eight when they woke up the next morning.
Wu Guodong instinctively reached out to hug something beside him, but grabbed empty air. Only then did he remember yesterday’s embarrassing scene.
His nephew had seen *that* thing...
He took a deep breath, not knowing how to face Lin Nan anymore, let alone worry about how feminine Lin Nan had become.
He wondered if his nephew was awake yet, or if he’d suffered through a hot night?
Getting up from bed, he grabbed his phone from the pillow, turned off the air conditioner that had run all night, and opened the door to look at Lin Nan sleeping curled up on his side on the sofa.
Not wanting to disturb Lin Nan, as facing him would be awkward, Wu Guodong carefully walked to the kitchen and took out a large carton of milk and some bread from the refrigerator.
He returned to the living room, brought a small stool to sit at the tea table, and couldn’t help but look curiously at Lin Nan again.
Since it was Lin Nan’s first time playing console games yesterday, he had been too excited at night. After his regular gaming session with Chen Yao and the others, he had played with the controller until late into the night. As a result, despite usually being a light sleeper, he showed no signs of waking even now.
He was curled up facing the back of the sofa, his short-sleeved shirt riding up from his position to reveal a glimpse of smooth skin between his waist and hips. His long pants had rolled up somehow, displaying his well-proportioned calves clearly.
But what caught Wu Guodong’s attention most was Lin Nan’s bottom, particularly prominent due to his curled position.
That waist-to-hip ratio must be perfect, right? And those body proportions - they had to be the golden ratio?
He’s a man, a man... my nephew.
Unable to see his face or flat chest, the front view was hidden, but the back view was clear as day. From Wu Guodong’s perspective, the person on the sofa emanated the most primitive kind of allure, causing him to hurriedly retreat to his bedroom with his breakfast after sitting at the tea table.
Thankfully his nephew hadn’t agreed to sleep together last night. People really do change a lot as they grow up.
He sat at his computer desk in the bedroom, sighing continuously.
How had his nephew turned out like this? How was his uncle supposed to handle this?
If he had known Lin Nan had become like this, giving him the illusion of being a girl, he definitely wouldn’t have invited Lin Nan to stay. He must have been possessed to want company during his vacation - why did he have to choose Lin Nan of all people?
Although nearly thirty, Wu Guodong had never had any intimate contact with girls. He would become nervous and stutter whenever he encountered girls at work, and usually just stayed home playing games. He was the typical honest guy who only knew how to make money.
Fortunately, he hadn’t started seeing Lin Nan as a girl yet, otherwise he suspected he would stutter while talking to him too.
After hiding in the bedroom for an hour, he heard a knock on the door.
"Uncle! Didn’t you prepare a towel and toothbrush for me?"
Because of the awkwardness from seeing the private items last night, Lin Nan hadn’t dared to talk much with him. After searching everywhere and not finding a towel or toothbrush, he had just gone to sleep, resulting in an extremely uncomfortable feeling in his mouth upon waking.
"Why didn’t you say something last night..." Wu Guodong opened the door and helplessly took out his phone. "I’ll order some from the delivery supermarket for you."
"You invited me over without preparing anything..."
If I had been prepared, I wouldn’t have invited you at all.
Wu Guodong grumbled silently in his heart, but still dutifully placed an order from the supermarket delivery service, buying some snacks and drinks along with Lin Nan’s toiletries.
"It should arrive in about half an hour. Remember to get it when it comes. I’m going to play games." Wu Guodong was still embarrassed about yesterday and didn’t want to talk much with Lin Nan.
"Mm, then I’ll go play your game console."
At first, Lin Nan had thought life at his uncle’s place would be boring, but after just one day, he was already addicted to the gaming console.
Although he was a sophomore, Lin Nan had only just come of age, so it was normal to lack self-control with games. He had played League of Legends for several years, and while he still loved it, it couldn’t compare to the excitement of trying new games.
His uncle’s house had three gaming consoles, covering all the major platforms. Most games were physical copies, with game discs filling an entire bookshelf, making Lin Nan’s eyes swim with possibilities.
This is what being rich means.
His uncle had always been generous, at least to him. Whenever he took Lin Nan out to play, he would agree to almost any request, buying whatever he could afford. Even now, there was still a scarf from his uncle in Lin Nan’s dorm room.
Lin Nan somewhat regretted that their contact had decreased after his uncle started university. At first, they would still occasionally chat online or meet during winter and summer breaks, but later they only saw each other during New Year’s, causing their relationship to become increasingly distant. If he had known earlier that his uncle could make so much money, he definitely would have pestered him to chat online daily to strengthen their friendship.
Then he might have become a League player with all the skins, hmm.
While playing games and waiting, the delivery arrived after about twenty minutes.
Lin Nan quickly retrieved the delivery and hurried to wash up.
Normally, he would shower every night in summer, but yesterday he hadn’t even washed his face or brushed his teeth, let alone shower, leaving him feeling uncomfortably greasy all over.
His uncle’s bathroom wasn’t large, just a squat toilet and a water heater, with the washbasin installed outside the bathroom.
He took his towel and change of clothes into the room, locked the door behind him, and then stripped to prepare for his shower.
Wu Guodong heard the sound of water from the bathroom and finally shuffled out, putting the half-drunk carton of milk in the refrigerator and cleaning up the trash in his bedroom, while anxiously considering how to interact with Lin Nan going forward.
Originally, he had been unsure how to face Lin Nan because of the embarrassing items being seen, but now it was more because of Lin Nan’s body being too alluring for a male.
Passing by the bathroom, hearing the splashing water inside, he unconsciously glanced that way and saw a vague black silhouette through the frosted glass of the bathroom door.
If only he had bigger breasts...
Although he could only see a vague outline, Wu Guodong, who had been single for many years, couldn’t help but imagine the shower scene in his head. Combined with what he had seen this morning, it was becoming hard to handle.
This is my nephew, a man, a man.
He hurriedly tried to clear the images from his mind, then wondered confusedly:
How do Lin Nan’s roommates resist?
Maybe he dresses more conservatively in the dorm?
Not daring to linger, thinking he should eventually replace the bathroom door with a non-transparent type, Wu Guodong quickly hid in his bedroom pretending to be immersed in games, trying his best not to think about Lin Nan’s figure.
Being single for too long really makes one strange, to actually become interested in his nephew?
