Chapter 389: It’s Still Shen Mo’s Side
Shen Fei and his father both served the organization, so they were always well-inford.
Shen Mo had also heard about the base relocation from Shen Fei.
“Has it been confird about the relocation?” Shen Mo asked, “Where are we moving to?”
“The professor suggests moving south along the coastline.” Father Shen replied, “It’s August now, autumn is just around the corner. Without electricity and heating systems, moving north would pose too many challenges, especially with the shortage of food.”
Moving south would an warr climate, continuous plant growth, and people wouldn’t starve to death.
Head north? Or move south?
Two completely opposite directions.
Shen Mo furrowed his brows. If the base were to move, his departure would an cutting ties with his family.
In a world like this, losing contact was a terrifying thing, because it was like…a final farewell.
Father Shen understood his concern and said: “Don’t worry too much, the professor has already recruited a team that will enter the ga tomorrow. They’re all top players, so there’s a high chance they’ll clear the ga. If Area 21 is successfully conquered, there will be no need to relocate.”
Shen Mo pondered, nodding in agreent.
“By the way.” Father Shen rembered sothing and asked Shen Mo, “Since we’re leaving, when will you bring Weiwei over for to et?”
Shen Mo was taken aback, looking at him.
“Shen Fei told you two are living together.” Father Shen paused, then added, “Sleeping together, too.”
Shen Mo:
“Even though the world is in chaos, certain rules must be observed. If you’re sure about being together, bring her over for to et.” Father Shen reminded.
Shen Mo gave a barely perceptible frown, remaining silent for a mont.
Father Shen eyed his reaction, sowhat puzzled, and asked: “Was it a misunderstanding by Shen Fei?”
After two seconds of silence, Shen Mo replied, “I’ll bring her over tomorrow.”
It was now Father Shen’s turn to be silent: “…”
He was slightly taken aback. His son had always been reticent, never sharing personal matters. Was this answer a veiled admission that he and the girl were together?
He patted Shen Mo heavily on the shoulder, “Co around tonight, and don’t let your second uncle and cousin find out. They already have a lot to say about Auntie Wang, if they found out about Weiwei coming, they would definitely bug about it.”
Hearing this, Shen Mo found it sowhat amusing. “Dad, haven’t you given up on Auntie Wang yet?” he asked.
“Why should I give up? Don’t repeat your second uncle’s words.” Father Shen just smiled, “They don’t understand the beauty of love.”
Shen Mo:
The father and son chatted for a while, then Uncle Shen arrived, and it was ti for the uncle and nephew to catch up.
When he learned that Shen Mo was planning to collect jigsaw puzzles, Uncle Shen imdiately praised him, saying: “You are truly a man of the Shen Family! A man should be adventurous, don’t worry, your father will be looked after by and Xiaofei!”
He then pulled Shen Fei over, called a few Shen Family relatives, and held a farewell party for Shen Mo.
So of them had been distant relatives, but now that the Shen family only had a few of them left, they beca closer than before.
After eating, it was inevitable for them to drink.
After drinking, it was inevitable for emotions to run high.
From the afternoon to the evening, the whole table was unbridled with laughter, shedding tears, drowning their sorrows in alcohol.
So were crying over death, so were laughing their heads off, so were cursing the fickle nature of the world…
Shen Mo watched this spectacle, holding his glass. Behind a glass wall, he observed this spectrum of human life clearly and in silence.
He has always been this way since he was a child. Adults praised him for his maturity, but in reality, he was just indifferent.
Father Shen gently patted his shoulder, saying: “Rember tonight well. Even if we don’t get to see each other in the future, when you reminisce, you can still recall how we were all drinking together.”
Upon hearing this, waves rippled in Shen Mo’s calm lake of a heart.
When he looked again at the relatives and friends at the table, he seed to share in their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness… he could feel so of it too.
