Chapter 730: Chapter Finale: The Sea of Stars (Part 2)

With a formidable physique and battlefield skills honed over the years, want to defeat her one-on-one?

Hehe... People like that, go find them slowly...

At this moment, Hibell whispered in Su Mo's ear with a giggle: "Your Xiaochu tried it before, couldn't last beyond 5 seconds."

Su Mo said earnestly, "5 seconds is already impressive."

After chatting for a while, Su Mo prepared to continue his visits, waving goodbye to Fenrir and Hibell: "You guys are busy, I'll head out first. By the way, dinner at Sikinkov's place tonight, come join us."

"Sure, we'll head over after work." The two bid farewell to Su Mo and continued with their tasks.

Leaving the border, Su Mo and others arrived at a residential area in the High-Tech Park, his final stop.

In a secluded alley, there was a cat café. Outside the shop was a meticulously maintained small garden, with vibrant flowers blooming in all colors. The air was filled with floral fragrance, attracting butterflies and bees dancing among them.

The vine plants at the entrance hung down, forming a natural archway, creating a cozy atmosphere for incoming guests.

Pushing open the wooden door, soothing music and the faint aroma of coffee greeted them. The wooden furniture, soft lighting, and lush potted plants created a relaxing and pleasant ambiance.

Every corner of the shop was adorned with cat toys and living facilities, with cat trees, hammocks, and little cat houses. A few cats were lazily lounging on the floor, sunbathing, while many others played and frolicked, making joyful sounds.

The shop owner was a beautiful woman with snow-white long hair, the tips looking exceptionally soft and lovely under the sunlight. Her bright ruby eyes were gentle and serene.

Hearing the doorbell, Nuobai looked up.

The figure of a familiar person was faintly visible in the morning light, smiling at her.

"Nuobai, long time no see."

After seven years apart, seeing him again, Nuobai was lost in thought. A sudden urge surged within her to run over and embrace Su Mo.

But as her gaze fell on Qi Ling behind Su Mo, that urge melted away, and she smiled as if relieved from worlds apart.

Nuobai took out her phone and typed:

[Long time no see, it's so nice to see you again]

Su Mo pointed to his throat, concerned, and asked, "With medical advances nowadays, shouldn't it be treatable here?"

Nuobai nodded with a bright smile.

[The time is already scheduled, surgery next month]

Su Mo immediately became joyful: "Does that mean you can speak next month? That's fantastic! Knowing you for so many years, I'll finally hear your voice!"

"How have you been these years? KK and Dongdong's daughter can make soy sauce, Sikinkov's twilight romance is on, have you met someone you like?"

Nuobai's eyes reflected Su Mo's image, as she slowly typed with her fingertips:

[There might be someone]

Su Mo eagerly asked, "Who?"

Looking at the oblivious man in front of her, Nuobai couldn't help but smile lightly. She didn't reveal the answer, hiding all the delayed emotions in a serene smile.

[Not telling you~]

Su Mo and others sat in Nuobai's cat café for several hours, chatting about various happenings over the years, feeling like they could talk forever. Before they knew it, it was dusk.

Sikinkov also called, saying it was time for dinner preparations.

Everyone left the cat café, split into a few cars, and headed over together.

At dusk, the towering skyscrapers became more magnificent under the setting sun, their glass facades reflecting brilliant light, as if each pane glittered with golden flames.

The shadows between buildings gradually lengthened, and the traffic seemed less noisy. The flashing traffic lights intertwined with the golden sunset, adding vibrant life to the city.

On the way past a large plaza in the Lakefront Business District, Su Mo suddenly noticed something and hurriedly said, "Wait! Can we stop for a moment?"

The convoy stopped, Su Mo opened the car door and walked out, somewhat dazed, staring at the statue in the plaza.

The statue was enormous, over ten meters tall, depicting a woman wearing a simple yet elegant long dress, her head slightly bowed, nose close to a blooming rose as if savoring its fragrance.

The statue's craftsmanship was exceedingly exquisite, and with the glow of dusk's sunlight, her face appeared particularly soft and beautiful in the interplay of light and shadow, showcasing the perseverance and gentleness in her expression.

On the pedestal of the statue, a concise and powerful line was engraved:

[She descended into darkness for the dawn we received]

Memories surged in his mind as Su Mo gazed up at the woman in front of him, unconsciously uttering her name.

"Luo..."

Qi Ling walked up to Su Mo, gazing with him at Luo's statue: "Yes, this statue was erected by the main brain, to commemorate all Luo did for humanity."

Su Mo asked blankly, "But... Luo said she wasn't a good person, told us not to commemorate her, right?"

Chu Nanyi laughed: "Leader, you have to listen to women's words in reverse. Besides, does her saying she's not a good person make it true?"

"After the main brain erected Luo's statue, it publicly shared her past deeds with everyone, without embellishment or vilification, presenting her truest self for society to judge."

Saying this, Chu Nanyi pointed at the base of the statue, smiling: "And these are the public's response."

The base was surrounded by flowers for commemoration, red roses, white lilies, purple lilacs... Whether during holidays or regular times, flowers never ceased, each bundle representing people's respect and gratitude.
