Chapter 46: Video call

It was already past five in the afternoon when I woke up from a nap.

Chen Yuanyuan was about to go out for dinner when Shen Yichen initiated a video call for her.

"Xiao Yuan'er! Do you want to be your mother?" As soon as the call was connected, she saw Mother Shen's bright smile.

"Godmother! Long time no see, I'm getting younger and younger!"

"You are so sweet, old man, say hello to our little Yuan'er!" Mother Shen turned the camera to Shen Yichen and Father Shen on the sofa, and Father Shen waved to Chen Yuanyuan.

"Hello, Uncle Shen!" Because of her long-term relationship with the army, Chen Yuanyuan met Shen's father only a few times, and her impression of him was that of a very serious uncle.

"Why don't you follow Shen Yichen to the capital? My godmother misses you!" Shen's mother said.

"The company was very busy last year. I have to finish things quickly so that I can come and greet my godmother during the Chinese New Year!" Shen's mother has a kind and cheerful personality. Chen Yuanyuan likes Shen's mother from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, okay! It's going to be lively when you come over. I'm tired of facing these two stinky men every day." Shen Yichen is the only son in the family. Shen's mother was injured during childbirth, and Shen's father doesn't want his wife to have another child. Because of the pain, Shen's mother has always been envious of the Chen family for having a daughter.

After Chen Yuanyuan chatted with Shen's mother for a while, Shen's mother gave Shen Yichen her cell phone and asked the young people to chat more.

Shen Yichen awkwardly took his phone and returned to his room.

"How is your wound recovering?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.

"Almost good. Are you really coming to the capital for the Chinese New Year?" Shen Yichen asked.

"Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing, and I don't know my relatives on the mainland very well."

Chen Yuanyuan's father was originally from Fucheng, but when he was young, Grandma Chen forced him to marry a family in the village.

At that time, in order to be with Chen Yuanyuan's mother, he resolutely left his hometown and settled down in Xiangcheng.

When Chen Yuanyuan was young, she went back to her father's hometown several times. However, because Chen's mother had given birth to a girl, Grandma Chen always disliked seeing Chen Yuanyuan's mother and daughter, and over time they lost contact.

"Okay, why don't you go out and count down tonight?" Shen Yichen asked.

"I won't go. There are too many people outside, and I don't want to be Linlin and Huahua's light bulb." Chen Yuanyuan said.

"Then you...Mom, what are you doing!" Shen Yichen in the video was about to say something when he suddenly turned around and looked at the closed door and shouted.

"Ha, you guys talk, you guys talk." Mother Shen behind the door was found eavesdropping and said awkwardly.

"Pfft, auntie is still so lively." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen chatted about Jinxiu Community. Shen Yichen also entrusted Chen Yuanyuan with the decoration of the house. After the video was hung, Chen Yuanyuan pulled Shen Yichen into the community group.

Chen Yuanyuan then went to a nearby shopping mall to find a Thai restaurant for dinner.

Tom Yum soup, green papaya salad, green curry crab, charcoal grilled beef skewers, mango coconut rice and other delicacies were brought to the table one by one. The spicy and sour aroma of Thai food was so fragrant that Chen Yuanyuan started eating immediately.

After dinner, she took a walk in the shopping mall to eat. Looking at the bustling crowds during the festival, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little lonely.

After the apocalypse, Chen Yuanyuan occasionally had to spend time alone in the quiet wilderness when she was scavenging outside the base. She had long been accustomed to being alone, but it made people feel even more lonely in the lively atmosphere.

Although Chen Yuanyuan now has good friends who trust each other, even though they know that the end is coming, only Chen Yuanyuan has truly experienced it.

The experience of the apocalypse has made Chen Yuanyuan's heart as solid as a rock, and it also makes her more focused on everything she can grasp now.

The more you gain, the more you fear losing.
