Chen Mo got out of the car. It was already past seven in the evening. Looking at the familiar home, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Wang Hai, head back first. I can carry the luggage myself," Chen Mo said.
"Okay." Wang Hai nodded.
Dragging his luggage toward the villa, Chen Mo took out his phone. "Mo Nv, is Xiao Yu at home?"
"She is. She's reading."
"Mm, don't tell her I'm back. I want to give her a surprise," Chen Mo said. Usually, whenever someone visited or approached the villa, Mo Nv would notify the people inside. Chen Mo was giving Mo Nv advance notice because he wanted to surprise Xiao Yu.
"Okay, Brother Mo. What does a surprise feel like?" Mo Nv asked.
"Feelings are really hard to describe with words. The feeling of a surprise is when something suddenly happens that makes someone very happy."
As he explained, Chen Mo walked toward the villa. He always carefully answered Mo Nv's questions because she was constantly learning. Especially after the Superconducting Computer was completed, Mo Nv's learning speed had become extraordinarily fast, already very close to that of humans. She simply lacked human emotions.
After reaching the door, Chen Mo verified his fingerprint and facial recognition before gently pushing the door open. Only after quietly closing it did he tiptoe into the living room.
Xiao Yu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, dressed in a spaghetti-strap nightgown. Her slender legs rested on the sofa as she held a book in her hands and wore headphones. Seen from the side, she looked focused, graceful, and serene.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu seemed to sense something. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Chen Mo standing there with a faint smile.
Xiao Yu rubbed her eyes.
