The three roommates chattered excitedly without stopping.
They had seen the video of what happened at Metro Plaza today.
A student who'd been there had uploaded the video to the BBS forum at University of International Business and Economics.
The post had already gone viral, blowing up like crazy.
It had so many juicy elements: the Campus belle, the basketball team captain, Su Chen, a fight, a romantic entanglement, a dramatic reversal, and more.
Both the male and female students were watching with keen interest.
The comments kept pouring in.
Quite a few female students had even gone straight to Su Chen's bookstore after watching the video.
They wanted to catch a glimpse of the "Martial Arts Master" Su Chen~
The female students were howling in the comments like they were in heat.
The male students had also been stunned into admiration by Su Chen's explosively powerful fighting skills in the video.
They wished they'd been the ones to protect the Campus belle, trample the basketball team captain, and force him to his knees.
Like they'd been pumped full of adrenaline, they flooded the comments asking to become Su Chen's disciples and learn martial arts from him.
"Yinuo, Yinuo, how far have things gone between you and Brother Su? Are you moving in with him?" her roommate Shen Dandan asked with a suggestive smile.
Su Yinuo raised a hand and tapped her on the head. "What are you thinking...?"
But in her heart, she wondered whether Dad would invite her to live with him when she saw him at noon.
After all, her eldest sister was living with Dad now~~
Aaaah~~
So jealous~
So envious~~
But when she thought of how Dad had stood up for her like a hero today, her heart turned as sweet as honeyed dates.
Then she remembered how Dad had introduced her to his good friend as her eldest sister's friend.
Her mood soured again~~
Did she really not look like his daughter?
She'd even called him Dad, and she and Su Zihan were identical twins, yet he hadn't recognized her.
She was a little heartbroken~~
Waaah, I need a hundred hugs to make this sadness go away.
The thought of seeing Dad at noon brought her right back to life.
When she saw him, she was going to make him give her a really big hug!
"Girls, help me pick out an outfit for later. I'm going to take off my makeup now." Su Yinuo shoved the bag into the hands of her endlessly curious roommates, then headed over to the sink to remove her makeup.
Before, she'd always waited until the dorm lights were out before taking off her makeup at the sink.
Then, early in the morning, before anyone else was up, she'd put on her makeup and go out for a run.
So her roommates had never seen her bare-faced.
Her roommates' cries of surprise rang out from the living room.
"Yinuo, you bought pink clothes!"
"And a white sweater!"
"Yinuo, you've really gone to a lot of trouble for your Brother Su. But since you've already snatched your Su away today, I don't think you need to change your style, do you?"
"Your Su probably likes your current style better."
At those words, Su Yinuo's hand paused as she removed her makeup.
She looked at herself in the mirror.
She'd already removed her eye makeup, and now it was clear that her eyes looked exactly like Su Zihan's.
They both had big, double-lidded eyes.
And they both had beauty marks at the corners of their eyes.
Whenever she and Su Zihan walked together, people used to mistake one for the other.
From then on, she'd wanted to look different.
So she'd gone further and further down the road of punk style and makeup.
By the time she reached university, she'd become extremely skilled at applying makeup.
Once she was made up, she looked nothing like Su Zihan.
No one mistook her for Su Zihan anymore.
A thought suddenly popped into her head: Would Dad mistake me for my eldest sister?
The idea piqued her interest.
She removed her makeup even faster.
She was also more and more excited to see Su Chen—in fact, she could hardly wait to meet him with her new look.
When she finished removing her makeup and walked out of the washroom, all three roommates were stunned!
"Ah—!"
"Yinuo???"
"It's you??"
"How do you look exactly like Su Zihan, the Campus belle at Imperial Capital University?!"
"Oh my god, are you two twins???"
Su Yinuo coolly lifted her chin. "Yeah, we're identical twins. Su Zihan is my eldest sister."
To be precise, they were quintuplets!
"Gasp! Inhale!"
"Yinuo, oh my god, you never told us Su Zihan was your biological eldest sister! No wonder you asked us where the second dining hall was yesterday. You were trying to steal your sister's boyfriend!"
"He's not our boyfriend. He's our dad," Su Yinuo explained.
The three roommates were so shocked by this news that they were completely dumbfounded!
"What? Brother Su is your dad!"
"Yinuo, your real dad, or... your godfather?"
"Of course he's my biological father. But don't tell anyone about it," Su Yinuo said. "My mom doesn't know we've found Dad yet."
"Oh, oh, okay. This is so shocking! I can't believe Brother Su—no, your dad—is actually your dad!" Wang Shanshan was so excited she could barely get the words out.
"No wonder you told me not to fall for your dad... You just didn't want me calling your mom my stepmom!"
"Get out of here!" Su Yinuo gave Wang Shanshan a sharp rap on the head. "Keep dreaming."
"My mom and dad are definitely going to get back together."
"So don't go fantasizing about my dad."
The whole family had to be together, all in one piece.
"Oh my god, this world is so cruel to ugly people! Why is the Campus belle's dad so young, tall, handsome, and a Martial Arts Master? And my dad's just a balding, potbellied, middle-aged greaseball with bad teeth?"
"I'm furious!"
"Jealousy and envy are making me ugly!!"
At eleven in the morning, Su Chen finished making lunch.
He'd made three dishes, the same ones as last night: Stir-fried Yellow Beef, Hot and Sour Pan-fried Fish, and Egg Fried Tofu.
He packed the five insulated lunch boxes full to the brim.
Then he used five glass food-storage containers he'd bought at the supermarket downstairs to pack five servings of cut fruit.
Before he became a dad, he'd dealt with his own three meals a day however he felt like.
Sometimes he ordered takeout, sometimes he ate instant noodles, and sometimes he went out to eat, drink, and chat with friends. Only on rare occasions did he cook at home.
He never cared whether his meals were nutritious.
As long as he ate his fill and enjoyed himself, that was good enough.
Now he had daughters.
He realized there was a lot more to think about.
He had to consider whether the food was nutritious for his daughters and whether their meals were balanced.
Even when cutting the fruit, he thought about how girls liked things to look pretty.
He even searched short-video apps for attractive ways to arrange the fruit.
He didn't want to pack it into the containers any old way, like some clueless guy, with no sense of aesthetics at all.
Looking at the five insulated lunch boxes and five clear glass containers neatly arranged on the table, Su Chen took a deep breath, as if he were about to do the most important thing in his life.
"Come on, Su Chen! Your daughters are going to love you~~"
"Let's go! Time to see my daughters~~"
