"Lin Jin! Lin Jin!"
A few hours after Yu Li left, his father returned home drunk. He leaned against the wall, calling out his son's name while his head swayed dizzily.
"Drunk again?" Lin Jin cautiously cracked the door open just a smidge and spoke through the gap, "If you're drunk, go to sleep."
"I'm not drunk." Dad vigorously shook his head. He directed his gaze toward the gap of Lin Jin's bedroom door. Through that gap, he could vaguely see Lin Jin's extremely vigilant eyes.
No matter what, it was really uncomfortable for his son to be so wary of him, almost as if he had seen a murderer.
"I'm really not drunk!" Dad raised his voice, shouting at Lin Jin. "My friends kept pouring me drinks! I didn't even drink much! Otherwise, I would’ve been carried home, you know!"
"You said you wouldn’t drink or gamble anymore." Lin Jin inside the bedroom became even more alert. He grabbed tightly held the doorknob, afraid that his drunk dad might lose control and become violent. In that case, he could quickly lock the door. "So what happened? As soon as your friends called for you, you followed them?"
"No!" His dad shook his head crazily like a child and continued explaining to Lin Jin. "I said I would quit drinking! They insisted on taking me drinking one last time. I thought they won’t hang out with me anymore if I quit, so I went with them! I didn't drink that much! I only had half a case of beer!"
Lin Jin frowned when he saw his father like this, feeling as if his heart was being tugged by something.
"Anyway, if you don't want to reconcile with Mom, then keep drinking and gambling." But Lin Jin still let out a cold huff towards his dad and warned him, "If Mom comes back this time and finds out you're still drinking and gambling, then I'll leave with her too."
"No way! No way!" His feet went soft and he suddenly sat on the ground while leaning against the wall, but he still continued shaking his head. Defending himself to Lin Jin. "I didn't black out this time. I just accidentally drank a little too much. I agreed that I'd only have two bottles, but they kept pushing me to drink more."
"You see, as an adult, Dad has to socialize with friends..."
"Socialize my ass!" Lin Jin rudely interrupted him and sarcastically said, "Those people just see you as their wallet, right? Are they really friends if they keep urging you to drink?"
Anyway, Dad wouldn't remember anything after sleeping it off, so Lin Jin didn't bother with the kind of respect that should exist between father and son.
"Break it off with those so-called friends! Block their number! If they knock on the door, don't ever open it!" Lin Jin took a deep breath, shook his head, and spoke resignedly, "Never mind, you'll forget everything by tomorrow anyway."
"I keep telling you I'm not drunk!" Dad emphasized. "I'm absolutely not drunk right now! At least not so drunk that I don't know what I'm doing!"
"Yeah, yeah, go take a shower and go to bed. I'm going to sleep too." Lin Jin rolled his eyes at his dad through the gap in the door, then slammed it shut and locked it.
Really, what kind of father was this? He was already in his forties and still just drinks almost every day and accomplishes nothing.
It was already this hard to get dad to quit drinking, getting him to quit gambling seemed even more impossible.
Lin Jin sighed and flopped onto the bed, feeling as if he was definitely going to fail his task. When that happened, he'd have to wear a miniskirt for the entire day...
F*ck! If he were in school, his roommates would have been used to seeing him in women's clothing. Even if he wore miniskirt, they'd probably just be surprised or stunned for a moment.
But at home! If his dad saw him in miniskirt, wouldn't he be beaten to death?!
And to make matters worse, it was miniskirt with panties... Holy f*ck! He wouldn’t even dare to go outside, okay? But, if he stayed home, he risked being seen by his dad...
If he did go outside... f*ck, it was winter, and the miniskirt would be so cold! And the wind could blow his skirt up, and then...
Then people would see a true dickgirl?
F*ck! The whole idea was terrifying!
As Lin Jin thought about this, he was so frightened that his face began to turn pale.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he began to wonder whether he should complete this task at any cost, even if it meant sacrificing his body to get his dad to quit gambling and drinking, and to accept his current appearance.
But sacrificing his body seemed a bit too far. Well, let's forget it. Hooking up with his dad was a bit too much.
Plus, his dad wasn't even handsome... Ugh! This matter not only concerned ethics and morality, but he was also a man! It wouldn't matter how handsome his dad was, it was unacceptable!
Ah, his integrity felt like it had suffered multiple hits. He couldn't believe such bizarre thoughts were entering his mind when the task was at a deadlock.
"Hey, Lin Jin!"
Just as Lin Jin was contemplating his moral dilemmas, the eerie voice of the black cat startled him so much that he nearly leapt off the bed.
"Lin Jin, your dignity has long been gone" the black cat seemed to be able to hear Lin Jin's thoughts and snickered. "I think, given the circumstances, sacrificing your chastity to complete the task isn't unacceptable, right?"
"Shut up!" Lin Jin darkened his face and lifted his phone, glaring at the black cat on the screen. "You asshole, did you ever consider whether I could even complete the task you set? Have you ever seen a goddess trade their chastity to complete a task?"
"You have a point" the black cat immediately nodded in agreement with Lin Jin’s point of view. "A goddess sacrificing her dignity for a task is already enough eyeballs, using her chastity would indeed be too much. If not careful and it goes too far, this book would even be blocked."
"Crazy" Lin Jin rolled his eyes.
"This task has no time limit. If you're willing, you can just slowly wait. Once your dad comes to his senses and quits gambling and drinking, the task will naturally be complete" the black cat suggested a lousy idea to Lin Jin.
"Pssh, by the time that happens, my mom would've remarried long ago."
Just as he spoke, Lin Jin heard his dad calling out again.
"Lin Jin! Lin Jin!" Dad was in the bathroom with his eyes closed, calling out weakly while tilting his head back. "Lin Jin, help me wash these clothes!"
"Oh!" Lin Jin poked his head out and noticed that his dad was wearing only a pair of shorts.
It's just shorts, which he'd often seen in the summer, but wouldn't wearing only that in winter give him a cold?
Cursing in his mind, Lin Jin swiftly grabbed his dad's clothes from the balcony and dashed toward the bathroom .
"Lin Jin!"
Dad suddenly yelled again, startling Lin Jin so much that he almost slipped and fell before reaching the balcony.
"What's the matter?! Always shouting like that!"
"I! I'll never gamble or drink again! If it happens again..." Dad paused, his alcohol-fogged brain seemingly shutting down.
"If it happens again, then what?"
"If it happens again..." His eyes vacant, he looked at Lin Jin and countered, "What do you say?"
"If it happens again, I won’t come back and you can live life by yourself!"
"Lin Jin! Lin Jin!"
