In an instant, Sun Zhe felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire body stiffening.
At that moment, the jaw-droppingly beautiful woman also froze, her eyes widening as if she had seen a ghost. She had just realized that the person showering in the bathroom was not Ye Qiao, but a strange young man.
Worse still, he was a young man who wasn't wearing any clothes.
Before she even had a chance to scream, her attention was completely captivated by the strong, youthful body before her.
That terrifying, oversized battery, like an enlarged stabilizing needle pointing toward the heavens, was deeply etched into her mind, impossible to shake off.
The air suddenly fell silent.
Sun Zhe was so embarrassed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He stole a glance at the beautiful woman, wanting to say something, but accidentally caught sight of that mysterious, alluring dark thicket and quickly averted his gaze.
Blushing beet-red, the beautiful woman realized she had been seen. She hurriedly pulled up her fallen pantyhose, smoothed down her skirt, and fled the bathroom as if escaping.
"Who are you? Why are you showering in my house?"
Inside the bathroom, Sun Zhe felt like a thief caught red-handed. He turned his back to the woman and stammered, "I'm sorry, Auntie… I didn't mean to. I'm Sun Zhe, Sun Wei's son!"
Hearing this, the woman's eyes widened in shock.
"Sun Wei's son?"
Sun Zhe gave an awkward chuckle. "Um… Auntie, how about I explain in a bit? I need to get dressed first."
「A moment later, in the living room.」
Sun Zhe sat on the sofa with his head bowed, looking like a little boy who had done something wrong.
Through their brief conversation, he learned that this beautiful woman's name was Zhu Yan, and she was his father's second wife.
"Auntie, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier."
Zhu Yan blushed slightly, her mind flashing back to the terrifying python she had just witnessed in the bathroom.
As a nurse, she had seen all kinds in the hospital—big and small, crooked and straight. She had seen every model imaginable, but this was the first time she had ever encountered a horrifying size like Sun Zhe's.
It was practically like the Monkey King's staff!
As the thought crossed her mind, Zhu Yan couldn't help but squeeze her legs together. She felt an itch and a warmth bloom deep between them, along with a telling hint of moisture.
A sudden wave of sadness washed over her. Here she was, a woman in her prime, at an age where her desires should be ravenous, yet she hadn't been with a man in years. She had almost forgotten what a man even felt like.
But in front of a junior, she naturally had to appear mature, dignified, and composed; she couldn't possibly expose her true side.
She forcibly steadied her nerves, pushed away the chaotic thoughts, and asked, "Are you really his son?"
Sun Zhe nodded, handing the letter and photograph to Zhu Yan.
Looking at the little baby in the split-crotch pants, Zhu Yan couldn't help but think of the oversized battery she had just seen. The same thought that had occurred to Ye Qiao now popped into her head: what on earth did this little sprout eat to grow so enormous?
If a woman were to ever… use that, what kind of state would she be in afterward?
Besides, could something that huge even fit?
No, no, Zhu Yan, you have to stop these wild thoughts!
He's your junior!
Even without any blood relation, he's practically your son!
Zhu Yan secretly pinched her thigh, resisting the impulse to let her mind wander. With a complicated expression, she returned the letter and photo to Sun Zhe and changed the subject. "By the way, Ah Zhe, have you eaten breakfast?"
"Uh, not yet."
Zhu Yan said, "Then, how about Auntie makes you… um, I'll go make you a bowl of noodles?"
As she said this, Zhu Yan blushed again, her mind clearly on something else.
"No need, Auntie," Sun Zhe smiled. "It's almost noon. We can just have lunch in a bit."
"That works, too."
"By the way, Auntie, where is my dad?"
"Your dad..."
At the thought of Sun Wei, Zhu Yan's eyes immediately filled with resentment. She wasn't sure how to begin explaining his situation to his son. "Ugh, don't even talk about him. He hasn't been home in a year."
Sun Zhe asked urgently, "Then what is he doing? Where did he go?"
Zhu Yan sighed, her beautiful eyes gradually misting over as a thought came to her. "He's in a lot of debt, so he's hiding and too scared to show his face. I don't know where he went. The day before he disappeared, he just sent a message telling us not to worry. After that, we lost all contact."
Her voice choked slightly as she continued, "For the past year, debt collectors have been showing up every few days demanding money. They've even threatened to take this house."
"Ye Qiao and I had no choice but to scrimp and save to pay off his debt. Ye Qiao even had to drop out of university. She's only twenty-two, and she had just one year left."
Hearing this, Sun Zhe felt a surge of resentment for the father he had never met. At that moment, he also understood why Ye Qiao was working at a place like that.
Zhu Yan suddenly stood up. "Forget it, let's not talk about that. It's grown-up stuff. Ah Zhe, why don't you watch some TV? I'll go make us lunch. As it happens, I bought ribs today."
"Okay," Sun Zhe nodded, reaching for the remote on the coffee table and pressing the power button.
"Mmm… oh, yes…"
"Honey, you're amazing!"
"Harder, I'm coming!"
The next second, a woman's passionate cries unexpectedly erupted from the television. An incredibly stimulating scene then appeared on the screen.
On the screen, a black body and a white body were tangled together, writhing wildly in a scene of immense visual impact.
Sun Zhe stared, marveling to himself when he noticed it was a Black man from overseas.
The man was practically hung like a donkey, easily rivaling his own size.
"Ah Zhe, don't look, turn it off!"
Zhu Yan's face was beet-red, and she was so flustered she was practically hopping on the spot. She quickly snatched the remote from Sun Zhe's hand and mashed the power button.
However, the remote was old and often malfunctioned. She pressed the button several times, but the TV wouldn't turn off.
Meanwhile, the passionate scene continued to play, and the actors on screen even changed positions!
