I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

After the registration was over, Shen Fei led them to their accommodation. It looked like an ordinary residential area, and they ran into a few people moving their luggage at the entrance of the neighborhood, seemingly new residents too.

Shen Fei explained, “This is a recently refurbished residential area. Each building is occupied, but each is sparsely populated. By regulation, no building can accommodate more than five people, so most of the residents are families.”

Everyone asked as they walked, “The limit of five people, is it to disperse the population density?”

“Yes. Not only are there limits on the number of residents, but also on the number of people traveling. There is traffic control on each road section, and gatherings of crowds are strictly prohibited.”

Shen Fei stopped, took out a key to open a door, and explained amicably, “Keeping the city in its current state is not easy. I hope everyone can understand and abide by the regulations.”

The door opened to reveal a three-bedroom apartment, elegantly decorated, and the furniture arrangement hinted at the former owner’s bourgeois taste.

“There’s another room in Building 6, also a three-bedroom, similar layout, but it’s on the other end of the neighborhood, about a hundred meters away. Who wants to go there?” Shen Fei asked.

It seems they were serious about dispersing the density of the population; they did not feel secure even with only five people in a building, and even had to maintain a distance of over a hundred meters between buildings.

Feeling too lazy to move again, Bai Youwei chose the three-bedroom on this side, and Shen Mo, along with Mr. Cheng and Pan Xiaoxin, began to move their luggage in.

Although Tan Xiao had regained consciousness from his coma, his injuries were not fully healed. He sat sulking on the sofa, unable to help with the physical labor.

Shen Fei silently counted the people.

Bai Youwei could share a room with the kid. The man on the sofa was seriously injured and certainly needed a bed to himself, so Shen Mo would have to share a bed with the old man.

He sighed in his heart. His cousin could have lived with his uncle, wouldn’t a room to himself be more comfortable than sharing with an old man?

But on second thought, among all his brothers and sisters, this cousin of his was always the most responsible and dependable. So it wasn’t surprising that he chose to stay and take care of these people.

As Shen Fei watched Shen Mo moving in and out with their luggage, he couldn’t help saying, “If there aren’t enough rooms, I can open another one for you. Don’t worry, there are plenty of vacant places in the city right now, just fill out a form at the registration center …”

“No need,” Shen Mo interrupted him, “we have enough space here.”

Shen Mo looked at Yan Qingwen, “Do you need another room?”

Yan Qingwen shook her head and replied, “No need. Su Man and Li Li’s families are currently in Shanghai. They will live with their families. The three of us remaining will have enough room.”

“Alright, I’ll take you to your quarters.” Shen Fei said, turning to Shen Mo, “Brother, I’ll take them there first, then I’ll take you to our uncle.”

Shen Mo gave a faint nod. “Okay.”

Everyone split up, and only five of them remained in the apartment.

Mr. Cheng helped Tan Xiao into bed to rest, and then, together with Pan Xiaoxin, began arranging the room and unpacking their luggage.

Shen Mo showed Bai Youwei around the house, looking into the bedrooms for sleeping and the bathroom for washing up.

Just like Shen Fei had said before, aside from the lack of electricity, it was a pretty good place.

Shen Mo opened the refrigerator to look inside, commenting, “The appliances here are all quite new, probably recently purchased. Should we move them into the dollhouse? There’s no electricity here anyway, so they’re just decoration.”

“Let’s move them tonight.” Bai Youwei replied nonchalantly. Then glanced at the expression on his face, “You’re about to see your father, don’t you seem excited at all?”

Shen Mo was taken aback, looking at her, “What about you? If you see my father, you should also see your mother. Aren’t you excited?”

Bai Youwei yawned lazily, “I am excited.”
