After the Shen family's turmoil subsided, Mo Ze transferred some people from JK Group to help manage the company. They reported all their work-related matters to him, so he was essentially working for Shen Nian for free.

Shen Nian didn't really understand company operations and management, but she had the authority to sign off on things.

One weekend, Shen Nian went to Mo Ze's apartment again.

In fact, since the two of them got together, Shen Nian has spent 90% of her weekends at Mo Ze's apartment, and Mo Ze would take her to school on Monday mornings.

At first, Mo Ze would make excuses, saying it would be convenient for her to tutor Mo Keke. As time went on, she stopped making excuses and would appear at A University every Friday afternoon to pick up Shen Nian for dinner. Then the two of them would go back to their apartment together, watch a movie or a variety show. On the weekend, if the weather was nice, they would go on a picnic; if the weather was bad, they would stay at home. They had the feel of a weekend couple.

Of course, even though two people sleep in one bed but are covered by two blankets, their intimate relationship still hasn't progressed beyond that point.

Shen Nian herself was carefree and didn't think anything of it, but Mo Ze suffered the consequences.

Sometimes Shen Nian kicks off the covers while sleeping, and even tries to steal them from him, making it hard for him to sleep all night...

However, he didn't cross the line on his own initiative, afraid of scaring Shen Nian.

She said that if we start dating, we should take it slow.

It drizzled a little this weekend, so the two of them stayed in the study instead of going out.

Mo Ze is now managing the Shen family business together, and some of the work that he can't handle during the week is done on weekends.

Shen Nian watched Mo Ze sitting in front of the computer looking at documents and felt a little guilty and sorry for him because he was so tired.

She was sitting on the sofa in the study reading a book when she suddenly got up, walked to the desk, put the book on it, rested her chin on her hands, and looked at Mo Ze with her big, watery eyes, without saying a word immediately.

Moze stared intently at the computer screen, carefully reviewing the documents while simultaneously typing on the keyboard to reply to emails.

Shen Nian stared at him for a while, her eyebrows curving upwards. She thought she hadn't disturbed Mo Ze, after all, the person in front of her was working very diligently. Just as she was about to change her posture, she heard Mo Ze sigh softly and then say something.

"Niannian, are you sure you want to keep staring at me like that? What should we do? I can't work anymore." Mo Ze suddenly turned to look at her and gently pinched her cheek.

Shen Nian blushed slightly and straightened up. "Uncle, would you like to rest for a while?"

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Mo Ze moved the keyboard away a little, ready to listen carefully to what Shen Nian had to say.

Shen Nian thought about it seriously for a moment, and then suddenly said that she wanted to pay Mo Ze a salary.

Mo Ze paused for a moment, then smiled and asked, "So how much salary are you planning to pay me per month?"

Shen Nian wasn't really sure how much would be appropriate, so she cautiously asked, "Uncle, how much do you think would be suitable?" She didn't know how much to give; she probably couldn't afford someone of his caliber...

Seeing her serious and conflicted expression, Mo Ze wanted to tease her.

"I'll have to think about this carefully, since this is the first time I've received a salary." JK Group only provides dividends, not salaries.

“Otherwise… I’ll transfer the company shares to you,” Shen Nian said seriously, not like she was joking.

Moze tapped her forehead. "Silly girl."

Of course, in the end, he didn't ask for the shares or his salary.

President Mo was willing to work voluntarily, like a beast of burden.

Winter came late this year, and even as Christmas approached, it didn't feel as cold as usual.

Everyone's saying we probably won't see snow today.

In the dormitory, Lin Ling said that no one gave them a "peace apple" on Christmas Eve, so she wrapped them herself.

Chen Jia suggested that the four of them go out for hot pot together, and everyone agreed wholeheartedly.

Suddenly, Lin Ling asked Shen Nian curiously, "Nian Nian, what gift are you planning to prepare for your Mr. Mo for Christmas?"

Shen Nian was slightly taken aback.

"You didn't come unprepared, did you?" Lin Ling asked.

"I didn't expect that..." Shen Nian really hadn't thought about giving a gift.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you see, when looking for a husband, you have to find one who likes you," Lin Ling remarked.

"Why?" Everyone was very curious.

“Because those who are favored are fearless,” Lin Ling replied. “Mr. Mo is usually very good and considerate to Niannian, right? Look, Niannian didn’t even prepare a Christmas present for Mr. Mo.” Lin Ling had been completely won over by Mo Ze.

Shen Nian humbly asked for advice, "Then what do you think I should give her?"

Chen Jia: "It's innovative."

Lin Ling: "Ideally, it should be something that can't be bought."

Shen Nian, "This is so difficult~"

The uncle definitely has everything he needs.

Wu Sisi said, "Niannian, why don't you knit a scarf by hand for President Mo? It would be a token of your heartfelt appreciation."

Lin Ling and Chen Jia both gave it a thumbs up, saying, "This is great, I'll knit a scarf with it."

"But... I don't know how..." Shen Nian was at a loss.

“There are videos about this online, you’ll definitely learn it if you just learn it,” Wu Sisi said.

Shen Nian immediately took out her phone and found the video to watch.

It seems... it really isn't that difficult.

Okay, then I'll knit a scarf by hand and give it to the uncle.

After making up her mind, Shen Nian immediately bought the materials kit online. There were still about ten days until Christmas, so it should be enough time.

She received the package the next day and couldn't wait to get started.

It was a bit difficult at first, and she watched the video several times before she understood it. She didn't have class in the afternoon, so she spent the whole afternoon in her dorm room working on it, and it wasn't until after 6 p.m. that she finally finished making the scarf.

For the next week, she carried yarn and crochet hooks with her wherever she went, taking them out to crochet a few stitches whenever she had a spare moment. In short, she kept busy whenever she could find a spare moment.

On Friday, I called Moze in advance to tell him that something had happened at school and I wouldn't be going to the apartment this week. Because if I went to the apartment over the weekend, I couldn't bring the scarf, and then I probably wouldn't be able to finish.

After more than ten days of hard work, Shen Nian finally finished knitting the scarf on the night before Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Eve, Shen Nian and her roommates had a hot pot dinner at a restaurant near the school gate. Everyone was happy. Although they didn't see any snow, eating hot pot made them feel cheerful.

"Let's have some drinks," Lin Ling suggested.

"Okay." Everyone agreed.

The last person ordered a bottle of fruit wine and a few bottles of beer, which they then drank at the hot pot restaurant.

"Cheers to our friendship!" everyone said in unison as they raised their glasses.

"I hope we can spend Christmas Eve together again next year," Shen Nian added.

Next year, everyone will graduate, and Lin Ling and the other two might go back to their hometown to find jobs. Shen Nian made a wish that everyone could get together again next year.

"Okay, let's get together again next Christmas Eve," Lin Ling said boldly, raising her glass.

Chen Jia and Wu Sisi also responded.

"Then it's settled."

"cheers."

The four glasses clinked together, and then he tilted his head back and drank the whole glass of wine.

Towards the end of the hot pot meal, everyone got excited due to the alcohol. They left hand-in-hand, singing songs.

From the school gate to the dormitory, the four of them sang loudly all the way.

This adds another rich chapter to the most unforgettable memories of my youth.
