Chapter 120 Class Reunion Dinner
Mo Ze didn't know how to describe his feelings; it was simply happiness, a happiness born from the fact that he had also sensed Shen Nian's affection for him.
But this was a feeling he had never experienced in the previous thirty years.
Shen Nian's cheeks were as red as apples as she leaned her head against Mo Ze's chest.
After hearing Moze's words, she responded softly.
"I am also very happy."
I haven't been this happy in many years.
Dinner was cooked by Shen Nian.
Her cooking skills are indeed mediocre, but the soup she made was delicious.
She followed the ingredients and soup-making steps her mother used to prepare.
It was a success on the first try; it really tasted just like my mom's cooking.
The two of them didn't eat much of the other dishes, but there wasn't much soup left in the pot.
Shen Nian was greatly encouraged and decided to stew a pot of pork rib soup every week until Mo Ze's leg was healed, to nourish him properly.
After dinner, the two of them snuggled up on the sofa and watched TV together.
The semester is almost over, and the Spring Festival is just around the corner.
In previous years, Shen Nian would still go home for the Spring Festival. Her father would call her, and most importantly, she would go to pay respects to her mother on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
So even though she didn't want to go back, she still went back every year for the Lunar New Year in the past few years.
Their family usually holds their New Year's Eve dinner at a hotel, inviting all of her father's relatives to eat together, which can fill several tables.
Shen Nian usually hid in a corner and quietly filled her stomach, not getting involved in those social niceties.
This year, their family experienced a change of fortune.
All those relatives have vanished without a trace.
Her father lives in a nursing home, and I heard that no one visits him.
Quite a few people took the initiative to contact Shen Nian.
Shen Nian ignored them all and blocked them.
Anyway, it wasn't out of genuine concern; she was just trying to take advantage of the fact that she was now the major shareholder of the Shen Group.
Shen Nian didn't have much interaction with them before, and now she doesn't want to indulge these people.
Shen Nian glanced sideways at the person next to her. She wondered where the uncle usually spent the Spring Festival...
"Uncle, will you... be in Jiangcheng for the Chinese New Year?" Shen Nian thought for a moment and then asked.
"Yes, I'm here," Moze replied, turning to look at him.
Although I spend most of my time in Rome, I always return to Jiangcheng for the Spring Festival. I have New Year's Eve dinner at the Mo family's house, and from the first day of the Lunar New Year, I have gatherings with Xiao Wu and the others, eating at each family's house. That's pretty much the end of the Spring Festival holiday. Then I fly directly back to Rome and don't stay in Jiangcheng for very long.
But this year is different.
He didn't need to rush back to Rome, and besides, he wasn't alone anymore.
"Niannian, do you want to come to Coco's house for New Year's Eve dinner with me during the Spring Festival?" Mo Ze asked, seeing that Shen Nian hadn't said anything more after asking.
Originally, he hadn't planned to talk about it so soon, but Shen Nian brought up the Spring Festival, so Mo Ze asked about it as well.
He was also a little worried that being too hasty would frighten Shen Nian.
After all, having dinner with him on such a special holiday carries a different meaning.
Shen Nian really didn't expect Mo Ze to invite him to the Mo family's New Year's Eve dinner. His first reaction was...
"Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"
Moze suddenly laughed.
Fortunately, my first reaction wasn't to refuse.
He took Shen Nian's hand and placed it in his own palm, saying softly, "I think it's great."
To allay Shen Nian's concerns, he added, "You've been there before, and you're familiar with Coco. With her there, there won't be any awkward silences."
In the end, Shen Nian agreed.
"it is good."
The two of them settled on the arrangements for the Spring Festival.
Shen Nian stayed at Mo Ze's apartment for one night, but returned to school the next day. For the next few days, the housekeeper came to cook and clean for Mo Ze.
With the end of the semester approaching, the last few classes were dedicated to reviewing and preparing for the exams, so Shen Nian didn't do anything like that day, suddenly appearing to surprise Mo Ze.
It's really because I'm quite busy with classes.
On Friday, we were supposed to go, but the class monitor sent a last-minute notice in the class group saying that everyone had to attend the class gathering.
Because in the second semester of senior year, the school will not arrange any courses, leaving only the last item: internship.
Before the holiday, some large companies will hold recruitment presentations at the school. You can prepare your resumes and submit them to your favorite companies, or you can find internships on your own. In short, there won't be many opportunities to meet again later.
Shen Nian forwarded a screenshot of the group notification to Mo Ze.
Uncle, I'm not coming to see you today, I'm going to a class reunion.
Moze replied quickly.
[Okay~] was followed by a wronged emoji.
Shen Nian could imagine the way he was pouting just by looking at the expression on his phone screen.
【I'll go early tomorrow. Coco's classes for this semester are over, so she won't need to go to make-up classes tomorrow.】 Shen Nian coaxed her, sending a text message along with a hug emoji.
Moze replied to her.
【it is good. 】
Don't drink with male classmates.
He didn't forget to give those instructions.
After all, the male classmates were all young, and President Mo lost confidence in himself.
Shen Nian smiled and typed "OK" on the screen.
After thinking for a moment, I mustered up my courage and sent a cute pouting "kiss" emoji.
Moze didn't reply immediately this time.
Shen Nian held her phone the whole time, waiting.
I don't know if he didn't see it, or if he saw it but didn't reply.
It's so confusing.
About five minutes passed.
Moze sent a message in a very serious tone.
[Bear with it, I'll give you a kiss tomorrow.]
When Shen Nian saw these words, she almost dropped her phone.
She didn't really want to kiss me!
I'll never dare to use emojis carelessly again!

The class reunion dinner tonight was quite well attended, probably because the class monitor said that no one could be missing, so all 28 students from their class came.
Yu Ji Restaurant, located right at the gate of University A, is where many classes of the school have their gatherings.
The three private rooms were combined, making a total of three tables. Two tables were for boys, and the eight girls sat at the last table.
In the field of architectural design, there are still more boys than girls.
Having eight girls in their class is already considered a lot.
They were jokingly called the "Eight Golden Flowers" by the boys in their class, and they were all taken care of.
Shen Nian's relationship with her classmates was neither too close nor too distant. She wasn't particularly close to anyone, nor did she have any conflicts or disagreements with anyone.
As soon as I entered university, I was busy working part-time to earn money, and I didn't have much time to build relationships with everyone.
However, her classmates were all quite nice, and none of them were particularly troublesome. When it came to group projects, Shen Nian was busy with her part-time job, and everyone accommodated her schedule, choosing to discuss the projects together in the evening.
Shen Nian felt very grateful.
Several bottles of beer were placed on each table. The boys were already quite drunk, and the girls at the table also had some who could hold their liquor, so they started drinking with the boys.
The private room was very lively.
Shen Nian sat quietly in the corner with a glass of water in her hand, a smile always on her lips, listening to everyone talk about fun things from the past.
Those who can drink should drink, and those who can't won't be persuaded; the main point is to be casual.
We've shared more than three years of friendship, and we have many precious memories.
The class monitor, in particular, got so excited while talking that his eyes welled up with tears. He hadn't even graduated yet.
The atmosphere was great. After dinner, everyone was still having fun and said they wanted to go sing karaoke.
Then all twenty-odd people took taxis to the KTV.
In the largest private room, everyone was having a blast.
Although Shen Nian didn't drink alcohol, she drank quite a lot of beverages.
I went to the restroom halfway through.
As Shen Nian passed by the other private rooms, the doors were half-open, and she casually glanced over and unexpectedly saw Shen Ximan's figure.
