Shen Mo stayed on the island for a few more days and only booked a flight back home after having a great time.

　　Ji Mingxuan has been developing overseas in recent years, and his work focus has also shifted to overseas. It is not that he can go back whenever he wants, so he did not accompany Shen Mo back to China. He booked his flight ticket a little later, and on the day Shen Mo left, he took Ji Ning to the airport to see him off.

　　Although they were about to part, Ji Mingxuan did not say anything emotionally. He only said to Shen Mo, “I’ll come find you when I’m done with my work.”

　　Shen Mo smiled and said okay.

　　Instead, Ji Ning was reluctant to leave Shen Mo and kept asking questions like “Where is uncle going”, “When will uncle come back”, “Why doesn’t uncle go with us”, etc.

　　Shen Mo patiently answered one by one: “Uncle is going home and will not come again for the time being, but Xiao Ning can come to uncle’s house to play in the future.”

　　”Really?” Ji Ning still didn’t believe it and insisted on making a pinky promise with Shen Mo.

　　Shen Mo bent down, hooked his pinky finger with him, and said, “If uncle lies, I will be punished… by being carried away by a big gray wolf.”

　　Ji Ning finally believed it and said childishly, “Uncle, please don’t let the wolf take you away, or I won’t be able to see you again. Dad has a photo of uncle, but I don’t.”

　　Shen Mo was stunned for a moment and asked, “What photo?”

　　”It’s the one Dad put in his wallet…”

　　Before he could finish his words, Ji Ning was picked up by Ji Mingxuan.

　　He pretended to pat Ji Ning on the butt and said, “Uncle is about to board the plane, let him rest for a while, don’t bother him, understand?”

　　Ji Ning said reluctantly: “Oh.”

　　Ji Mingxuan coaxed him, “Be obedient.”

　　Shen Mo couldn’t help but called out: “Mr. Ji.”

　　Ji Mingxuan looked at him calmly without any explanation.

　　Shen Mo was helpless, and after thinking for a while, he said, “I’m thirsty, and I want to buy a bottle of water. Can you lend me Mr. Ji’s wallet?”

　　Ji Mingxuan narrowed his eyes and said, “I’ll go buy it.”

　　After saying that, he carried Ji Ning to buy water.

　　Shen Mo stood there, looking at the backs of the father and son from afar.

　　No wonder Ji Ning was so close to him as soon as he saw him. It seemed that there was a reason. But… which photo of him did Mr. Ji keep in his wallet?

　　Shen Mo didn’t like taking photos, and I don’t think he had ever taken a photo with Ji Mingxuan. The ones he had taken before were all left in the rental house. Where did Ji Mingxuan get the photos?

　　Shen Mo was curious, so when Ji Mingxuan came back from buying water, he tried to ask him about it in a roundabout way. But Mr. Ji was very defensive, and no matter how Shen Mo asked, he refused to reveal anything.

　　It would be time to board the plane soon, so Shen Mo had no choice but to ask Ji Ning: “Is the photo taken well?”

　　Before Ji Ning could say anything, Ji Mingxuan had already pressed him into his arms, then leaned over and kissed Shen Mo on the lips, whispering, “It looks good.”

　　Shen Mo was startled and pressed his lips and said, “That’s not what I’m asking…”

　　Ji Mingxuan just smiled, let go of Ji Ning in his arms and said, “It’s time to go through security.”

　　Shen Mo saw that the time was almost up, so he said goodbye to Ji Mingxuan and his son and went to check in.

　　He travels to S Island every year, but this time, his mood is very different. Sitting on the plane, he thinks back to everything that happened in the past few days, and feels like he is dreaming.

　　The return trip took quite some time because of the transfer, and it was almost midnight when Shen Mo got home. He sent a text message to Ji Mingxuan to let him know he was safe, and then he fell asleep.

　　He slept until noon the next day, cooked some noodles for himself, and drove to the studio in the afternoon. Of course, there was still no business, and Yang Yue was so idle that she was swatting flies. She was naturally overjoyed to see him.

　　”Boss, you’re finally back! Why did you take so long this time?”

　　”Well, I couldn’t help but play for a few more days.”

　　”Did you bring me anything delicious?”

　　”Of course I did.” Shen Mo took out the local specialty he bought and said, “When did I not bring you some?”

　　Yang Yue took it with a smile and said, “Boss is the best. Did you encounter any romantic encounters during your outing?”

　　A romantic encounter?

　　Does he and Ji Mingxuan count?

　　Shen Mo paused for a moment and was unable to answer.

　　Yang Yue immediately smelled gossip: “Is there? Is there really? What is it like? A long-legged exotic beauty?”

　　Shen Mo shook his head and said, “Don’t think about it anymore. Live your life well.”

　　”There is no business, so how can there be any work?”

　　”Not now, but there will be in the future.” Shen Mo said as he sorted out his things, “School will start in a few days, and there will definitely be a lot of students who want to learn painting. If we put out the advertisement, we should be able to get some business.”

　　He glanced at Yang Yue and said, “If you feel that you don’t have enough manpower, just hire someone else to help.”

　　Yang Yue’s eyes widened in surprise. “Boss, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you always slack off before? Why did you suddenly become diligent?”

　　Shen Mo was a little unconvinced: “How can I be so lazy?”

　　Then he sighed: “But it’s different now.”

　　”Why?”

　　”Because…” Thinking of the two people far away abroad, Shen Mo’s eyebrows were stained with a faint smile, “I have to make money to support my family.”
