Lin Mo looked at himself contentedly in the mirror for a bit, then took out his phone and snapped a selfie to send to his family.
[Everything's fine on my end, don't worry, look forward to my good news.]
Originally, he had planned to head out after sending the message, but then he thought that it wasn't just his family who needed to hear his good news.
Lin Mo logged onto the social media platform he hadn't visited in a long time, only to find it inundated with unread messages, displaying 99+ notifications, but Lin Mo glanced through and guessed there must be hundreds of comments.
Many were from old friends, colleagues who used to work with his dad, and elderly relatives from his wife's side of the family.
It was his grandma and grandpa who, almost every few days, would send him a message, inquiring about their well-being.
Even though they had never received a reply, they never stopped this behavior.
