Shen Moyu was a little puzzled. Perhaps Shen Donghai was too calm, or perhaps the anger in his eyes had disappeared.
Taking advantage of the moment, Su Jinning took his hand, and the two walked closer under Shen Donghai's scrutinizing gaze.
"How dare you show your face to me??" Shen Donghai frowned.
Shen Moyu sighed, "He even has a second face." He pointed to Su Jinning beside him.
"you!"
"Hey, hey, alright, you're about to leave and you're still throwing a tantrum at my brother?" Zhou Xingqi tugged at Shen Donghai's sleeve.
"Yeah, we've been talking until our lips are practically worn out. You've already made up your mind, you can't go back on your word, right, Uncle?" Jhe blinked.
Shen Donghai, unable to vent his anger, closed his eyes in resentment and turned his head away. "Don't bring him to see me again."
Su Jinning was taken aback, unsure whether these words were good or bad, but they didn't sound like opposition.
He smiled and squeezed Shen Moyu's hand tightly: "Thank you, Uncle."
"Thank me my ass! Did I say I agreed?" Shen Donghai said sternly.
Su Jinning remained calm and composed, smiling like someone proposing marriage. "I know you still won't like us, and I didn't expect you to like me. After all, this is our business, and your words won't affect us. I just want to say that now that we've chosen to reconcile, I can't let him go again. I understand your desire for your son to succeed, but I also hope you understand Mo Yu. We love each other very much and will be together for a long time. Don't worry, I will definitely give him a good future, even several times better than what you can give him." He continued, ignoring the astonished gazes of the four people, "No matter what you do, I will never let him leave me again."
His words were forceful and resolute, and he showed no fear when he met Shen Donghai's questioning gaze. His tenacity suddenly reminded Shen Donghai of the scene when he held Xia Wei's hand and made vows in front of Xia Wei's parents.
He had been through that age too, and he had loved passionately. He had also complained that he valued profit too much, but when he looked back, there was no turning back.
As a father, he had made too many mistakes, and he didn't want to make the same mistakes again. In the end, Shen Moyu wouldn't even look at him.
Shen Donghai stood up, let out a heavy sigh, his heart filled with resentment and resignation. He helplessly raised his hand and patted Shen Moyu's shoulder: "You..."
"Passengers of flight xxxx, please check in and prepare to board."
Shen Donghai held back what he wanted to say. After a long while, he said, "I've taken care of your student registration."
Shen Moyu was taken aback for a moment, then loosened his clenched fist slightly. "Hmm..."
Hearing his usual indifferent reply, Shen Donghai smiled bitterly: "Dad is sorry."
Shen Moyu didn't speak, but instead took out the house key from his pocket: "My mom said you can come back whenever you want."
Shen Donghai's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
A thousand words were stuck in my throat; I owed him so much that I had no chance to say them, nor did I want to.
"Son, good luck on your college entrance exam."
Yes, it will.
Zhou Xingqi waved his hand: "I'm leaving."
"Hey." Shen Moyu suddenly grabbed Zhou Xingqi's arm and said earnestly, "Take good care of the company."
The four people present were stunned. Zhou Xingqi looked into Shen Moyu's open and bright eyes, as if they could encompass everything, including his own absurd mistakes and lies.
“Brother…” Zhou Xingqi’s voice trembled. Although it was a term he used all the time, he called it with extra care, because this time, it was a true “brother” in the real sense.
"Hmm." Shen Moyu patted his head and smiled, "I've told you before, kids shouldn't always lie to adults."
His smile was as gentle as ever, as if it transported Zhou Xingqi back to a summer day, to a math competition.
But it's also like an invisible period, bringing everything to an end.
“You always let me throw tantrums…” Zhou Xingqi wiped away his tears. But it was precisely because of Shen Moyu’s gentleness and understanding that he felt sorry for her.
"Because you're my brother." Shen Moyu said softly, "Alright, Dad's waiting for you over there, go ahead."
"May it last forever." Jiehe's blessing still carried the distinctive Northeastern accent.
Su Jinning couldn't help but laugh: "I'll save that for next time."
Watching the three figures disappear into the crowd, that distant yet vivid memory seemed to vanish into the sea of people, leaving only a sense of exhilaration in my heart.
He leaned on Su Jinning's shoulder and sighed, "That's nice."
Then he turned his head towards the airport entrance. From there, he could see the sunset.
Looking into Su Jinning's smiling eyes, he smiled too.
How happy I am. Shen Moyu thought.

Chapter 102 Keeping the Appointment in Midsummer
Sure enough, the forum's headlines are updated very quickly.
In less than a day, news of Shen Moyu's return to class spread throughout the campus.
[Shen Moyu, who had been out of school for two months for unknown reasons, returned to school this morning.]
[Su Jinning and Shen Moyu are suspected of living together, with a phone call revealing a secret affair]
Su Jinning spat out her juice with a "pfft," and Chen Hang, who was eating opposite her, suffered the consequences.
"Holy crap to my eyes!!" Chen Hang quickly covered his eyes, which were stinging from the sour taste of the drink.
