"I want to, too," Chen Pan said, "but I don't even know who my biological parents are."
Zhou Mo put down the work in his hands, turned around and hugged Chen Pan, "Do you want to find your biological parents?"
"I don't really want to look for them. My parents told me they're gone," Shen Pan said. "They died in the 1998 flood. Otherwise, I wouldn't have become an orphan and been taken away by them."
Zhou Mo, however, felt that there might be another deeper meaning behind Chen Pan's reluctance to look for his biological parents.
If she accidentally finds her parents and discovers that she was really abandoned by her biological parents, perhaps this would be more cruel than learning that her biological parents are gone.
After dinner.
Both of them went to bed early because they had to go to work.
Zhou Mo lay on the bed and looked at the time. It was already ten o'clock.
Han Chen hasn't sent any messages either, probably he's very busy.
She took the initiative to ask: Are you off work?
After a while, Han Chen replied: Just got home.
Zhou Mo: Why are you so late?
Han Chen: There was a patient with a special case. They've been here since we treated him. Have you eaten? Don't skip meals just to lose weight.
Zhou Mo: Shouldn’t I be the one asking you about eating?
Han Chen: I’m not trying to lose weight.
Zhou Mo: You are the one who often doesn’t have enough food to eat.
Han Chen: It’s okay, it’s too late, just eat something casually.
Seeing Han Chen so busy, Zhou Mo felt distressed.
She asked: When will you get your salary?
Han Chen: The 25th. What happened?
Zhou Mo: Just before May Day, with my savings, I can buy furniture for Aunt Liang.
Han Chen didn't reply for a while.
Zhou Mo was just wondering why he was silent when Han Chen called.
"Why are you calling suddenly?" Zhou Mo asked.
"Momo..." Han Chen choked up, "I'm sorry."
"Why apologize?" Zhou Mo was puzzled. Han Chen hadn't done anything to make her angry recently.
"I... don't have much savings, and I still have to ask you to pay me." He is not a qualified husband.
Zhou Mo seemed to understand Han Chen's thoughts. "Am I putting pressure on you by doing this? Don't think too much. I don't mean anything else. It's just that... you're often so busy that you can't even have a hot meal when you get home. If Aunt Liang could live across from my house, and you come home late and have no food to eat, you can go to Yuanshangju, and you can also spend more time with Aunt Liang. Even if Aunt Liang doesn't cook, you can go to my parents' house. My dad is at home, and he cooks every day."
“…Momo…”
There are no words to describe the feeling Zhou Mo brought to him.
"Aunt Liang will have to move in sooner or later. Why don't we pool our money and let her move in sooner? With my parents around, she won't be bored."
"Well," Han Chen said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go furniture shopping on May Day."
"Then I'll tell my parents and ask them to help with the plan. You can also tell Aunt Liang so that she can be happy too."
"good."
"You should eat something and rest quickly," Zhou Mo urged.
"Okay, good night."
"Well, good night."
Zhou Mo had just hung up the phone when the bedroom door rang "bang bang bang".
"Enter."
Shen Pan pushed the door open and walked in. "Are you talking to Han Chen on the phone?"
"The fight is over," Zhou Mo asked, "What's wrong with you? Can't sleep?"
Chen Pan climbed over Zhou Mo's bed and sat across from her. "I can't sleep. I still miss him."
"That's normal. No one can forget everything after a breakup in one day," Zhou Mo patted his side.
Chen Pan crawled into the other half of the quilt, "When you broke up with Han Chen, how long did it take you to process it?"
"I can't explain it."
"How do you say it?"
"Not long after the college entrance exam, Han Chen left Dongjiang. After he left, I didn't feel that my life changed much. Maybe the novelty of college overshadowed a lot of my emotions. Around my junior year, my classmates started dating in college one after another, and I seemed to think of him again."
"So you happened to be with Qi Tan at that time?"
Zhou Mo shook his head. "No. Qi Tan and I have been together since the second semester of our senior year."
Chen Pan: "Is he a bad character or something else? Why did you break up later?"
Zhou Mo: "He's a nice guy. He was the one who broke up with me because he wanted to take the postgraduate entrance exam and I didn't, so..."
"Graduation and postgraduate entrance exams are the two biggest killers in college romances," Chen Pan asked again, "and what happened next? He was a nice guy, so you didn't try to keep him? At most, you could just wait until he finished his postgraduate entrance exams."
"..." Zhou Mo: "Are you still my good friend? I'm married now, and you want me to keep someone from the past."
"I said then, I didn't ask you to go now," Chen Pan said, "So where did he take the postgraduate entrance exam? The main campus of Tokyo University?"
"Imperial Capital," Zhou Mo said, "At that time, I got annoyed when I heard these two words."
One by one, they all wanted to go to the imperial capital. It was the first time that Zhou Mo was so annoyed with a place.
"Understanding," Shen Pan suddenly realized.
The geographical issue is what Zhou Mo cannot accept the most, and she never has long-distance relationships.
"Compared to this, Han Chen is even more valuable," Chen Pan said. "Qi Tan and Ren Huaibo both wanted to run to the imperial capital, but only Han Chen ran from the imperial capital to Dongjiang for you."
"He himself didn't say such words. How do you know that he returned to Dongjiang for me?" Zhou Mo asked.
"Is that even a question? Do you think someone with his ability and family background can't make it in the imperial capital? I'm afraid it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's thriving. Then why did he come to Dongjiang?"
Zhou Mo had actually thought about this problem a long time ago.
Liang Xinyun's silence, Han Qi's anger at Han Chen's secret escape, and Han Chen's determination to come to Dongjiang despite being penniless...
On the day of the accidental discharge of the gun, Han Chen said that he would never return to Dongjiang.
But he still came back.
"Love is built through small actions, not words," Chen Pan said. "The sweet words said in bed are so sweet, but when you get out of bed, you're completely different. That's the most heartbreaking thing."
Zhou Mo could understand without Chen Pan mentioning him specifically that Chen Pan was referring to Lu Zhishu.
The two chatted for a few more minutes.
Feeling sleepy, they both fell asleep one after another.
…
Zhang Lanlan took a leave of absence for the first time.
Didn't come today.
Ever since Ding Ning received praise from Shen Qingyi last time, Zhang Lanlan has been secretly competing with Ding Ning.
As long as Ding Ning is in the office, Zhang Lanlan is basically there too.
The quality of the work handed over to Zhou Mo has improved significantly, and he also proactively consulted Zhou Mo on whether it is easier to publish articles in certain directions.
Zhou Mo gave his opinions one by one.
Although she doesn't like Zhang Lanlan, as the eldest sister in the group, it is her job to guide her younger brothers and sisters.
"Notice: At 2:30 p.m., the Graduate Office will hold a cheerleading mobilization meeting for the basketball game in the college's small conference room." Zhao Xiaoshuang read from the screen.
Zhou Mo's face was filled with annoyance. "Is this basketball game so formal? And there's even a cheerleading team?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang: "It's just formalism. I heard that some high-ranking officials are coming to visit the school, and it happens to be during the basketball game, so they're making it a bit more formal to put on a show for the higher-ups."
Zhou Mo: "Table tennis and badminton matches too?"
