Chapter 42 - 42 041 Still better looking without glasses

Chapter 42: 041: Still better looking without glasses Chapter 42: 041: Still better looking without glasses Around ten o’clock, Xie Shang received a call from Ms. Su Nanzhi.

“I heard from your uncle that you took a girl out for dinner today.”

“Mhm.”

Su Nanzhi wasn’t a gossip, she just found it curious.

As soon as Xie Shang had turned eighteen, Su Nanzhi had given him an adult sex education class, which basically taught him to respect women, stating he could date but not be promiscuous, could be carried away by passion but must protect the girl from harm.

He had listened calmly throughout the whole thing and could even skillfully tie a knot in a condom.

“Where did you learn that?”

“Tianfang City.”

Tianfang City was a well-known pleasure quarter in the capital, with all kinds of extravagant diversions; it was the place men loved to go, and Su Nanzhi had heard plenty of stories about rich young men’s “romantic escapades,” each one more decadent than the last.

Kids are hard to teach, especially those who don’t lack resources because they are exposed to too much and face many temptations.

“Did you go there to mess around?”

Having been self-disciplined since a young age, Su Nanzhi rarely restricted Xie Shang’s behavior and more or less let him raise himself.

He shook his head: “Didn’t play, not interesting.” He said something that Su Nanzhi still remembered to this day, “Those who can’t even control their own bodies are inferior.”

Afterwards, Su Nanzhi never really saw him messing with relationships. Instead, she occasionally saw him paying respects to Buddha, reading scriptures, burning incense, and brewing tea. She was actually worried he might one day find the mundane world too uninteresting and simply become a monk.

So him taking a girl out to eat was big news.

“Girlfriend?”

Xie Shang said, “No.”

Madam Zhai took the chance to chime in, “When will you bring her over for us to see?”

Madam Zhai wasn’t a gossip either; she just had accumulated a few boxes of jewelry with no one to give them to. She couldn’t possibly give them to Su Beihe’s partner.

“Not a girlfriend.”

“Haven’t won her over yet?” Su Nanzhi teased, “What a waste of the good looks I gave you.”

Xie Shang didn’t want to continue this topic.

“Mom, can you go online and dispel some rumors?”

“Which one?”
