It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

"My name is Chen Mo. I'm here to get the car."

The saleswoman paused for a moment.

"Get your car? Sir, you were at our shop before..."

"It should be taken care of by now." Chen Mo didn't explain further. "Check it out: Chen Mo, BYD Han."

The saleswoman walked to the front desk with some skepticism and typed a few words on the computer.

Then her expression changed.

"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment, I'll go get the manager right away."

She practically ran there.

Less than a minute later, a middle-aged man in a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses strode out, holding a folder in his hand, his face beaming with professional enthusiasm.

"Mr. Chen! Hello, I am the sales manager of Jiadi 4S store. My surname is Zhou."

Manager Zhou handed over his business card with both hands, "Your car has been completely processed, including the paperwork and insurance..."

He opened the folder and laid out the items one by one in front of Chen Mo.

The vehicle purchase invoice lists the owner as Chen Mo, the model as a 2026 BYD Han EV Smart Driving Edition 635km/h Navigation Edition, and the price as 198,800 yuan.

Purchase tax payment certificate.

Compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy.

Commercial insurance policy.

Two keys, one remote key and one card key.

All the necessary procedures are complete.

As Chen Mo looked at these things, only one thought occupied his mind.

Holy crap, really? System, are you that amazing? You even got the license plate set up. Can you manipulate time and space?

[Host, you need a car? Do you really need to buy one? Don't I have any pride?]

The system's voice rang in my mind, tinged with a hint of arrogance.

Chen Mo suppressed a laugh and nodded to Manager Zhou.

"Thank you for your help, Manager Zhou."

"No trouble at all." Manager Zhou personally handed over the keys with both hands. "Mr. Chen, the car is parked outside. Shall I take you to see it?"

Outside the showroom, in the vehicle delivery area, a black BYD Han was parked quietly.

The car body gleams with a deep luster under the sunlight, with a streamlined waistline extending from the front to the rear. Hidden door handles pop out automatically, and the "Dragon Face" design on the front is understated yet sharp.

Chen Mo walked around the car.

He used to drive a ride-hailing car, and he always drove a Qin-class car, the kind that rental companies buy in bulk.

This car was the first car he truly owned in his life.

And it's the BYD Han.

He got into the driver's seat, and the moment he closed the door, it made a heavy, muffled sound, completely different from those cars that cost tens of thousands of yuan.

The steering wheel is made of genuine leather, the center console features a huge adaptive rotating screen, and the seats wrap around his body, making it quiet and comfortable.

"System, open the offspring map."

【Ding. 】

In my mind, the system's light screen automatically unfolded.

[The offspring sensing map is now open.]

Current number of offspring: 2.

Location information: Marked.

A red dot of light flickered on the light screen.

He zoomed in on the map, and then zoomed in again.

Then he froze.

That red dot is near Xinxiu Village.

No, it's in Mingxiu Residential Area, right across from Xinxiu Village.

He immediately drove to Mingxiu Residential Area and quickly found the exact location.

It's a branded fruit store located on the street in Mingxiu Residential Area.

He used to live in Xinxiu Village for quite a long time.

But he never comes to this fruit shop.

These branded fruit stores are clean, well-lit, and have their fruit neatly arranged. The prices on their labels are much higher than those at roadside stalls.

He usually buys from roadside tricycles or picks up bargains when the market closes for the day.

Right now, he needs a place to park his car. The parking spaces in front of the shops in Mingxiu Community cost 12 yuan a day, which isn't much.

And his child is there.

The system interface continues to display information.

[Child's biological mother: Lin Xiaoyu.]

[Offspring's gender: Female]

[Date of birth: December 16]

daughter.

He has another daughter.

He grinned.

As a man, having a sweet little girl is certainly wonderful.

They can be considered to have both a son and a daughter.

However, I don't know what kind of family this daughter comes from.

wrong!

Chen Mo looked at the three characters "Lin Xiaoyu" and suddenly felt that they looked familiar.

He leaned back in the driver's seat and thought for a moment.

He took out his phone and opened a university group chat.

This group has been dormant for several years, with only occasional posts of price-cutting links or a few red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

Chen Mo has never spoken in the group chat.

He was scrolling through the group member list.

My fingers stopped when I flipped to the middle.

Lin Xiaoyu, followed by a parenthesis: Xiang Nan's wife.

What the hell!

southward!

Chen Mo was stunned, speechless.

Xiang Nan was his college roommate.

In a six-person room, he slept on the top bunk facing south, while she slept on the bottom bunk

Xiang Nan was a veteran who enrolled in the university. He was two years older than them, so he played the role of the eldest brother in the dormitory.

He is warm-hearted, masculine, and helpful.

Once, he had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius, and Xiang Nan carried him to the school hospital.

On graduation day, Xiang Nan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Mo, don't forget your brother when you become successful."

He didn't become successful.

He never contacted Xiang Nan again.

The last time I heard news about Xiang Nan was nine months ago.

He vaguely remembered that a link to a crowdfunding campaign had been shared in this university classmates' group chat.

It was posted by Lin Xiaoyu.

He clicked in and glanced at it, but didn't look closely. He then transferred 500 yuan to the account, because at that time, he didn't have much money.

After that, there was no further news.

Chen Mo sat up straight and searched through the group chat history.

southward.

Waterdrop Crowdfunding.

The link is still there.

He clicked on it.

The title reads: "Please help my husband. He was hit by a collapsing wall while saving someone, resulting in spinal cord injury and paralysis of both lower limbs."

The photo in the link shows a man in a hospital gown lying in bed, his face so thin it's unrecognizable.

But Chen Mo noticed those eyes.

It's heading south.

He stared at the photo for a long time.

He thought of Xiang Nan from his university days.

Standing at 1.8 meters tall, he's a key player on the school basketball team, and when he goes for a layup, he looks like he's flying.

He drinks by the bottle and laughs louder than anyone else; the whole hallway can hear him.

Now... he's ended up like this.

Chen Mo closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and his hand trembled slightly.

Good guy!

That's really something.

The first child was with his childhood friend's wife.

The second child was with my college classmate's wife.

He stubbed out his cigarette, took a deep breath, and opened the car door.

Anyway, let's go take a look.

Look at Xiang Nan's wife, look at his daughter, and go see Xiang Nan too.

After parking the car, I walked towards Xiaoyu Fruit Shop.

Two rows of fruit baskets were displayed at the entrance of the store, filled with apples, oranges, and kiwis. The colors were well-matched, and the fruit was neatly wrapped in plastic wrap.

A small handwritten blackboard stands at the entrance, with the following words written in colored chalk: "Today's Special Price: Imported mangosteen 29.8 yuan/jin, jackfruit 15.8 yuan/jin."

He pushed open the glass door.

A sweet, fruity aroma wafts over.

The store was bigger than it looked from the outside, and the shelves were clearly organized by category.

Common fruits are on the left, such as apples, pears, and bananas.

On the right are high-end goods, imported and seasonal, displayed in refrigerated cabinets, with bright lights shining on them.

Hello! Welcome!

Chen Mo turned his head.

Lin Xiaoyu came out from inside, holding a baby in her arms.

She looked to be around thirty years old, and had just finished her postpartum period; she looked plump.

She was 1.7 meters tall with a great figure. She was wearing a simple cotton dress, her hair was casually tied up, and she wasn't wearing makeup, but her skin looked great.

There were deep bluish marks under her eyes.

Those are signs of not sleeping well.

Chen Mo looked at her, then at the baby in her arms.

His Adam's apple moved.

Is this his daughter?

So cute!

Lin Xiaoyu was also looking at him.

[That customer is so handsome, with such a great presence. I think I saw him get out of a new car when he came in? I hope he didn't just glance at me and leave... Business has been so tough lately. My baby was just born, I have a mortgage, car loan payments, and medicine for Xiangnan... everything depends on this store.]
