"That's a shame," Zhou Mo said. "If you go to Linquan, you'll definitely see the Gobi Desert. That kind of vastness is more refreshing than seeing the sea."
"Thinking about it now, I do feel a little regretful."
"Where is your father now? Where is he?" Zhou Mo asked.
"I don't know. I haven't called him in a long time."
"So he... knows about our marriage, right?"
"Of course I know," Han Chen said, "I don't call him, but my mom will."
"How about... asking?" Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that you haven't seen the Gobi Desert either. If your father is in Linquan, how about we buy tickets and fly to Jincheng tomorrow?"
Han Chen looked at her in surprise. "Isn't the Yangtze River Delta a good place? Why are you suddenly talking about Feijin City?"
Zhou Mo: "Can't you make up for your regret?"
Han Chen paused and said, "Forget it."
Zhou Mo: "Why?"
Han Chen: "It's very troublesome to see my dad. I have to call him. Linquan is far away and remote..."
Zhou Mo: "Everything depends on human effort. How can you know if it won't work if you don't try?"
Han Chen: “…”
Zhou Mo: "You have to think about it. This is a rare opportunity for us to hang out, and it may also be your only chance to travel all the way to see your father. When your wedding leave is over, you will have to go back to work, and you won't have time to visit him again."
Han Chen thought for a moment.
Zhou Mo bent down and touched his pocket.
"What to do?" Han Chen asked.
"Looking for your phone."
Before Han Chen took it out himself, Zhou Mo found his cell phone in Han Chen's right trouser pocket.
She took it out directly.
Han Chen looked at it and wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
Zhou Mo acted like a little bully and would not allow him to retreat for even a moment.
Zhou Mo knew the password of Han Chen's phone screensaver.
She quickly unlocked her phone and clicked on the dial function. "Let's call your dad first and ask if we can come over."
Seeing her like this, Han Chen could only shake his head helplessly and took the phone.
He called Han Zhen as Zhou Mo requested.
He still followed the previous procedure and called Han Zhen's unit first, and then the unit picked up the call.
But this time is different.
Han Zhen's unit told Han Chen that he could call Han Zhen directly in the future without going through the unit.
Moreover, after the complete decryption, Han Zhen's work is basically no different from that of an ordinary engineer.
Han Zhen can work in the General Administration like an ordinary person, and when he goes to other places, it is basically equivalent to a business trip, and he no longer needs to hide his itinerary.
However, Han Chen felt mixed emotions after hearing the news. The feeling was very complicated and he couldn't tell what the specific emotion was.
Han Chen then asked, "Then... can you tell me his contact information?"
The person on the other end of the phone was probably stunned for a moment, and then told Han Chen a mobile phone number.
Han Chen thanked the other party.
However, looking at the new number that had just been entered into his phone, Han Chen was a little dazed.
"Is it very stressful?" Zhou Mo asked.
"What?"
"Does calling your father make you feel stressed?"
"No," Han Chen said with an unnatural expression, "It's just... I haven't talked to him much, and I don't know what to say."
"Just say whatever you want," Zhou Mo said, "Look at me and my dad, we can talk about whatever we want, even nonsense is fine."
"I'm different from you."
"But your dad and my dad are both dads, and we are all their children. In the eyes of our parents, no matter how old we are, we are still children. You don't need to feel burdened. Just say whatever you want to say. It's okay even if you say something wrong. Don't underestimate their tolerance. Restraining yourself will only make things awkward for both parties."
Han Chen smiled and said, "I'm a little nervous."
"I knew it," Zhou Mo took his phone and dialed the number directly.
"Hey——" Han Chen was about to say something when the phone in Zhou Mo's hand started calling.
After two rings, the call was connected.
"Hello, is this Han Chen?"
When Han Zhen's voice appeared, Han Chen was startled and immediately took the phone from Zhou Mo's hand.
"Hello, Dad, it's me."
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Han Zhen asked, "Did your grandfather say anything again? I heard that your eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother all went to your wedding. When your grandfather found out, he was very angry. Unfortunately, I don't have time to go. But you don't have to worry about your grandfather. I'll go back and talk to him after I finish this. I heard from your mother that you went on a trip with Zhou Mo recently. You two can have fun outside..."
"No, Dad..." Han Chen was rarely moved. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Zhou Mo and I don't know where to go, so we thought...if you are in Linquan, we will come to find you and go there."
Han Zhen paused for a moment, obviously a little surprised.
"Dad, if you're busy, we won't go over..."
"Of course," Han Zhen couldn't contain his surprise. "It just so happens that I haven't met Zhou Mo yet. If you're willing to come over, I'd be more than happy to."
"Then when are you free these days? Momo and I will go over there while you have time."
"Let me take a look," Han Zhen could be heard flipping pages, probably a notebook or something. "Why don't you guys come over in three days? I'll have someone prepare things. Linquan is a remote place, and your mother said Zhou Mo has mysophobia. I'm worried she won't be able to get used to living here."
"Okay, I'll talk to her."
The father and son communicated very easily and smoothly.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mo looked at him expectantly: "How is it? Can we go over?"
Han Chen: "Yes, but it will take three days."
Zhou Mo: "That's right. We made the decision in a hurry and didn't consider whether it would be convenient for your father. It would be bad to disturb his work."
Han Chen smiled and said, "He asked us to go there in three days. It's not because we have work, but... he said he needs to prepare. He knew from my mom that you have mysophobia, and he's worried that you won't be able to adapt."
Zhou Mo blushed, "It's over, everyone knows about my mysophobia now."
Han Chen comforted him, "It's okay. Everyone has their own concerns."
Zhou Mo bit her lip in embarrassment. "I'm not worried about that... I'm worried... This is my first time meeting your father. Will he think I'm too busy? What should I do? I'm so nervous."
Han Chen smiled and said, "You are nervous, but he is probably more nervous than you."
Zhou Mo covered his face with his hands, "It's obvious that I'm more nervous!"
Han Chen rubbed her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm here."
Zhou Mo: "You never talk about your father. I always thought he was a serious and difficult person to get along with. Now it seems that your father is much kinder than you."
Han Chen: "My dad is quite serious, especially when I was little. But... people's temperaments change as they get older. He's not the type to show his emotions outwardly. Most of the time, he comes across as very rational. But recently, he's been contributing financially and physically to my wedding, and I know he still wants to be a responsible father. I'm not as resistant to him as I was when I was little."
