Chapter 4 Kitty, I love you!

It was late at night, almost 11 o'clock.

On the wide road on the outskirts of the city, an electric bike carrying two people was speeding towards the city.

In the past, it would have been almost impossible for Lin Ying to appear in such a remote place on the outskirts of the city late at night.

Not to mention, the person traveling with him was a man.

When she was young, her father beat and scolded her and her mother badly, and she also witnessed the indecent behavior of her neighbor's uncle, which made her deeply wary of the opposite sex.

This is also the reason why she has not married until now, and has never even been in a relationship.

Until I met Shen Mo.

This friendly and handsome boy was like a ray of sunshine, shining into the deep and closed door of her heart and prying open a crack.

In the night breeze, she gently leaned her head on Shen Mo's back, and a sense of security that she had never felt before surged in her heart.

At 11:20, we returned to Xingfuli Community.

Shen Mo drove the electric car into the charging shed, and the two walked back to Building No. 3.

This is a resettlement housing estate, a typical old and dilapidated building. More than half of the street lights in the park are broken and do not light at all.

In 2010, the public security in Hangzhou was relatively good, but girls are naturally afraid of the dark, so Lin Ying was still a little scared. Fortunately, Shen Mo was there to talk to her, which dispelled her inner anxiety.

"The cake shop's facade has been sold?"

"Yeah." When talking about this topic, Lin Ying couldn't help feeling sad. This was the result of her mother and her hard work for many years, and it was also a common memory for the mother and daughter.

"Where are the equipment inside?"

“They were sold together.”

"Let's see if we can buy back the equipment and rent a storefront to keep the cake shop open."

"But... I have nothing left..." Lin Ying lowered her head.

"There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. Let's think of a solution together tomorrow." Shen Mo said comfortingly.

"it is good……"

Although she said yes, Lin Ying was not sure about it.

Shen Mo is still just a student, and he had already lent himself 8 yuan not long ago, so he can't ask for too much.

If it really doesn't work out, she thought, she might as well go work as a shop clerk.

Just as the two were talking, a stray cat suddenly jumped out from the bushes and let out a sharp meow.

Caught off guard, Lin Ying screamed in fright and subconsciously threw herself into Shen Mo's arms.

In fact, Shen Mo was also startled by the stray cat, but his reaction was much calmer. He was only stunned for a moment, and then he felt a warm and soft body in his arms, along with a pleasant fragrance.

He patted Lin Ying's back gently and comforted her, "It's just a wild cat, don't be afraid."

Lin Ying also came to her senses, quickly stood up and left Shen Mo's arms.

However, her cheeks were flushed with shame, and she also smelled the faint scent of Safeguard on the boy, which was very pleasant.

Fortunately, the night helped her conceal this predicament.

Going up to the top floor, the 5th floor, there are only two families living there.

Lin Ying opened the door of Room 502, then turned around and looked at Shen Mo with sparkling eyes, "Thank you so much today!"

"It's okay, go to bed early and go to the store tomorrow."

"OK, bye."

She closed the door gently like a kitten.

Shen Mo walked into 501, leaned against the door, and exhaled.

After a night of worry, I finally let go.

His original plan was to stay with Lin Ying until the second half of the night, or even tomorrow.

He really didn't dare to let go. If he accidentally let her die, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Maybe before the system shuts down, it will say: I gave you the chance but you are useless!
Fortunately, his idea was right.

Many people who give up their lives sometimes just need an opportunity, or a chance to vent their emotions, to be rescued.

Successfully preventing Lin Ying from committing suicide was a good start.

Although it was already past 11 o'clock, Shen Mo had no desire to sleep.

A reward of two hundred thousand yuan is not a small sum of money for a high school student from an ordinary family.

But more importantly, he changed Lin Ying's ending and passed the system's test. The change in life starts from this step!
……

After sorting out his thoughts, Shen Mo called his mother.

After two beeps, the call was connected.

"son."

"mom."

Listening to the familiar and kind voice on the phone, Shen Mo suddenly felt like crying.

"Son, why haven't you slept yet so late?" Zhou Wanyun, who was getting ready to go to bed, received a call from her son and asked with joy and anger.

"Well, Mom, are you still waiting for Dad?"

"Well, your dad just got home."

Shen Mo heard the sound of a door closing from the microphone, followed by Shen Weiguo's powerful baritone voice, "Is that Xiao Mo?"

Shen Mo couldn't hold back any longer and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Zhou Wanyun on the other end heard something wrong in the voice and asked in panic.

"Nothing, Mom. I just missed you and Dad."

Shen Mo said with sobs.

During this period of time, Lin Wei did not die.

My parents, who are doing business in other places, are still healthy.

My father did not survive those three years because of a serious illness caused by the heavy losses in his business.

The mother was still cheerful, instead of the sad-looking girl who worried about her husband and son all day long.

It’s still not too late!

Zhou Wanyun was a little puzzled. Her son had always been sensible. What happened today?
When Shen Mo was admitted to Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School, she was still worried, especially in his senior year, when she even thought about giving up her business and coming to Hangzhou to accompany him.

Shen Mo rejected him and said he could do it alone.

In addition, the senior class teacher reported that his son performed well and his grades were steadily improving, so the plan to accompany his son to study was abandoned.

"Son, the college entrance examination results will be out tomorrow, right?" Shen Weiguo took the phone from his wife and talked to his son.

Starting from this year, the college entrance examination will implement the policy of checking scores before filling in the application form.

"Uh, um..."

Shen Mo didn't react for a moment and could only respond vaguely.

"Your class teacher, Mr. Meng, said in the group chat that we will have a class meeting in a few days to fill out the application form. Your mother and I will come over then."

"Business is fine."

"Fool, business is not as important as you."

……

After a long time, Shen Mo hung up the phone.

Ever since he was admitted to high school in Hangzhou and his parents were doing business in another place to make a living, the family has been separated more often than not.

For this reason, mother Zhou Wanyun shed many tears, and sometimes when she got angry, she would complain about why her husband could not go to Hangzhou to do business.

Father Shen Weiguo could only smile bitterly. Life was not easy and this was the best choice he could make.

Fortunately, as long as we work hard for another one or two years, we can reunite our family.

Shen Weiguo often comforts his wife and son in this way.

But only Shen Mo knew that if fate followed the predetermined line, this beautiful vision would never happen.

My father's business suffered a severe blow, and he became seriously ill and ultimately did not survive those three years.

My mother was always worried during those years and her bright smile was no longer seen.

And I have also experienced the hardships of life...

Only when you lose something can you realize how precious it was.

A son wants to support his parents, but they are no longer there.

Such a light sentence may contain so much heavy regret and helplessness.

But now, Shen Mo will never let this happen again.
