Chapter 31

Chen Mo tried to explain: "You only said that smoking is prohibited on 4-1-3, but this is outside the school, there is no such rule, right?"

"Yes." Xi Siyan responded, "Now I have it."

Chen Mo: “No.”

"Really not giving it to me?" Xi Siyan raised his eyebrows.

Chen Mo imitated him: "Yeah."

The door to the back garden was pushed open from time to time, and some people went in and out. Occasionally, someone would notice two people standing very close to each other in the dark corner.

It’s just that the light is dim and I can’t see his face clearly.

If someone could recognize him, they would find that the "other people's child" who was often used by major families to educate their own younger generations, the proud son of the Xi family, was stopping the biological son found by the Yang family. It was impolite and ungentlemanly.

He easily pressed the man's hand, held it, reached into the man's trouser pocket, and pulled out half a pack of cigarettes.

He's like a robber who doesn't even bother to argue with others.

Chen Mo was completely confused by his behavior.

It wasn't until the cigarette fell into the other person's hand that he opened his mouth and asked hesitantly: "If you want to smack me, I can, but what's the matter with snatching it?"

At this time, someone came over. Xi Siyan threw the cigarette over and glanced at Chen Mo: "I don't smoke."

The person who hurriedly caught the cigarette was Qi Lin.

This was the first time Chen Mo had seen him tonight. He gave up the idea of his cigarette being snatched and asked, "Did you just get here?"

"I've been here all night." Qi Lin came over and put his elbow on Xi Siyan's shoulder. He flipped the cigarette in his hand and said to Xi Siyan, "What's going on? You've forced your second uncle to call you a bastard whenever he sees someone, and now you're bullying your roommates here. It's a good thing that Chen Mo helped you clear up the dirty rumors about you."

Chen Mo's face was filled with black lines, "What kind of yellow rumor is that?"

But that's not the point. Last time Chen Mo had a stomachache, he met Xi Siyan's second uncle in KTV, and the other party also went to the hospital with him. Chen Mo asked Xi Siyan: "What happened between you and your second uncle?"

Xi Siyan said: "It has nothing to do with my second uncle, don't listen to his nonsense."

"What's the meaning?"

Qi Lin said unconvincedly, "I am not talking nonsense. How dare you say that the Municipal Education Bureau's high school life record activity came out of nowhere? You are not participating, so why do you interfere? Your second uncle must have been confused when he was found, otherwise why would he scold you?"

When Chen Mo heard the words "full record", he was stunned.

That's true.

In the previous life, Chen Mo and Yang Shule were both candidates.

The so-called recording activities are to shoot students' daily life at school and their interaction with parents at home, for publicity and educational purposes. Therefore, the people selected must have points worth recording, such as good grades, stories, and public curiosity, all of which Chen Mo has.

If you agree, it means that nothing can be hidden in front of the camera.

If Chen Mo himself is unwilling, the Yang family will not agree.

So the documentary ended up filming Yang Shule and three other students from the school.

In his previous life, the school notified him of this. Chen Mo refused at first and never paid attention to it. But later, he suddenly felt that Yang Shule was very popular during that period, and people would watch him wherever he went. That was all.

This time, I learned about it in advance from other sources, and the feeling was a little subtle.

Chen Mo looked at Xi Siyan: "Is this activity related to you?"

"I just know some of the trends in advance." When Xi Siyan looked over, the expression on his face was not a complete denial, and he said calmly: "But I suggest you participate."

Chen Mo: "Reason?"

"The last time you gave me clothes, I apologized for saying that you were trying to control public opinion. It turns out that you handled it very well."

Qi Lin was confused, "What are you talking about?"

Xi Siyan looked at Chen Mo and continued, "This event is just an opportunity. Whether you use the Education Bureau or not, it will be held anyway. But in my opinion, it is best to do things thoroughly. Only when the opportunity is in your own hands can you have the power to choose."

At this moment, Chen Mo seemed to see Xi Siyan, whom he would later meet in the business world.

Be ruthless in doing things.

Such a person, is he helping himself now?

Then, if his name appeared on the candidate list in his previous life, it couldn't have been his doing.

What does he want?

Chen Mo: "Why are you reminding me?"

"Didn't you speak for me tonight?" Xi Siyan said.

Qi Lin was confused by the two and said he didn't understand. He just excitedly urged Chen Mo: "Why not participate? There are such record-keeping activities in many universities in many provinces across the country. Maybe you can become a city star."

Chen Mo didn't say anything.

Different from Qi Lin.

Chen Mo understood Xi Siyan's intention better.

He obviously knew that he had just brought Yang Shule and the Chen family together, and by recording their activities including their daily life, he was either going to expose the baby-swapping scandal to the world, or wait for the Yang family to take control of everything.

For Chen Mo, that would be tantamount to repeating the same mistake.

Even if revenge is not your goal in this life, some things have to be resolved.

It would be like if he hadn't handled it this way at the time, Chen Jicheng would have been causing endless trouble for himself.

Until today.

He really had no way out.

Xi Siyan's suggestion gave Chen Mo an illusion. It seemed that if he had participated in his previous life, things might have been different. It seemed that he had indeed had the opportunity to change something, but missed it.

Just like regarding Xi Siyan, Chen Mo had a preconceived notion that he and Yang Shule appeared together in Yuhuai Village that year, and he had never thought about really getting to know this person.

It is even more unimaginable that one day he would remind himself that he must do things to the extreme.

When Chen Mo was distracted.

The conversation between Qi Lin and Xi Siyan could still be heard clearly.

Qi Lin: "What should I do with this cigarette? I don't smoke."

"Throw it away." Xi Siyan said.

Qi Lin: "Master, this is your fault. Chen Mo is neither your student nor your son. You are bossing around in school, and you are still bossing around when Xiao Mo Mo smokes outside the school gate. You are being too bossy."

Xi Siyan: "Throw it away or not?"

"Throw it away, throw it away." Qi Lin begged for mercy and said to Chen Mo, "Brother Mo, I'll throw it away for you. You have a bad stomach, so you really need to smoke less."

Chen Mo nodded, indifferent: "Just throw it away."

Xi Siyan leaned over and asked, "You're not going to argue with others now?"

Chen Mo looked back and asked, "Didn't you snatch it first?"

Qi Lin didn't care what they were saying, and said to Chen Mo excitedly: "But Brother Mo, you did something big tonight. You actually came out in front of your parents. You have some courage."

Chen Mo didn't respond.

If it weren't for Yang Shule, he wouldn't have been interested in letting the Yang couple make a big fuss about this matter.

It was late at night when the dinner ended.

The excitement is over.

Chen Mo was hailing a taxi on the roadside to go back to school.

A black car quickly slid in front of them, and Yang Zhu sat in the back seat, "Get in."

Chen Mo got into the car without hesitation. It was normal for Yang Zhi to be responsible for sending him back since he was the one who brought him here.

After all, he didn't want to stand on the side of the road in the cold.

As soon as Yang Zhi's car left, another car that was originally parked on the side of the road and ready to move forward also moved.

Uncle Lin asked the person in the back seat, "He got into his brother's car, do you want to follow him?"

"No need." Xi Siyan retracted his gaze, "Go back."

Uncle Lin turned at the intersection.

He drove all the way to the Xi family's old house, and asked the person behind him with his eyes closed, "Why didn't you tell him that his adoptive father would have come to the door if you hadn't found someone to stop him. If this wedding banquet is ruined, the Zhou family and the Yang family will probably put the blame on him."

Xi Siyan opened his eyes slightly.

"The Yang family promised verbally, but in the end they refused to pay. This matter is not Chen Mo's fault, and the consequences should not be borne by him." Xi Siyan said in a light tone, "Since we intervened in public opinion at the time, it is only right for us to prevent some trouble for him."

Uncle Lin smiled and said, "Then why are you still using your second uncle as an excuse?"

"An excuse?" Xi Siyan turned slightly to look at the night outside the window. "The activity was real, and I really wanted to remind him. It's not an excuse."

Uncle Lin looked at the road ahead and sighed, "It's this road too. I still remember the first time I saw you taking that child to the hospital. You had that temper and left the child right outside the hospital entrance."

Xi Siyan probably thought of it as well.

He lowered his head and smiled.

"Things are different now."

Uncle Lin: "It hasn't been that long, has it?"

"But I actually feel a little regretful, Uncle Lin."

That emotion was also unfamiliar to Xi Siyan.

He actually had times when he regretted.

And the reason was simply that he left a "classmate" who he was not familiar with at the time at the door of the hospital. He had a fever and there was no one around him. Xi Siyan had no doubt that he was the only one in the hospital from beginning to end that night.

As for why I regret it.

Uncle Lin seemed to understand. He said, "Ayan, your grandfather said something about you that I think is very true. You have never lacked anything since you were a child, and you are too good at everything. One day, you will regret your arrogance. That child has a good personality and is open-minded. I don't think he will take that little thing to heart."

Xi Siyan leaned his elbow against the car window, "Indeed."

Chen Mo wouldn't care. That thing was just the tip of the iceberg compared to what he had experienced.

For him, who is now familiar enough with Chen Mo, once is enough.

Xi Siyan took out his phone and sent a message to Chen Mo, "Let me know when you get to school."

Ding sound, there is a message coming back from the other side.

"I can't make it. I'll stay at home tonight."

Xi Siyan frowned.

The other party sent another message, "I don't know what Yang Zhi is crazy about. When I woke up, he was already at the door..."

Xi Siyan could basically tell the other party’s speechlessness from those periods.

He smiled.

"Come to pick you up?"

"That's not necessary. Just stay here. At least the bed is softer than the one in the dormitory."

Chen Mo replied the message and finally got out of the car.

The Yang family villa was still brightly lit at night.

This was the first time Chen Mo came back since he lived in the school dormitory. The Yang couple and Yang Shule had already arrived.

The servants were busy. After all, the young master came back with a head full of cream. The couple had different expressions on their faces. I don’t know if they had quarreled on the way. As soon as they came back, they went back to their rooms and ignored each other.

Chen Mo followed Yang Zhi and entered yawning.

A servant holding a small bottle hurried over and almost knocked Chen Mo off balance.

"Bang!" The small purple bottle also broke.

The strong aroma makes people's nose itchy.

Yang Zhi looked over coldly: "What are you doing? You look so irritable."

"Young Master." The servant was startled, especially when he saw that the person next to him was Chen Mo. After all, he was still fresh in people's memory when he smashed the casserole with one hand. He said tremblingly: "This is the brand of aromatherapy that Master Shule usually uses. It's gone in the room, and I was just about to take it up."

The servant had just finished speaking.

A loud voice came from upstairs: "A Xiang! Why haven't you brought it up yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Shule, wearing a bathrobe, appeared at the top of the stairs.

You could still see traces of white in his hair, and his red face was obviously rubbed hard, and he looked irritated and about to get angry.

As a result, Yang Shule saw clearly the person standing below at a glance.

Rushed down the stairs quickly.

Gnashing his teeth, "Chen Mo! How dare you come back after doing something like this?!"

Chen Mo looked at Yang Zhi, "I also want to ask, how did I get back?"

Yang Zhi frowned deeply when he saw Yang Shule's attitude, "Shule, this is also his home, is there any problem with him coming back?"

"Brother." Yang Shule was angry at first, and met Yang Zhi's eyes. Then he was angry and aggrieved, pointing at Chen Mo, "He pushed me into the cream in front of so many people! He went too far!"

Yang Zhi continued to frown, "Didn't you force him to go on stage first?"

"I just said it casually during the interaction. He was dancing in front of so many people, how could I know he didn't want to."

"Oh." Chen Mo dragged out the words, "I just felt itchy, so I pushed you in accidentally. You didn't react at the time, so I thought you were willing."

"Chen Mo, you!"

Chen Mo stepped over the broken glass on the ground.

He said to the servant who was still standing there in a daze: "Send some essential oil to my room. It can be used for bathing and helping me sleep. Don't make the smell so strong."

"Okay, okay." The servant responded.

Yang Shule: "Send it to me first, and if it's broken, go get it again!"

The servants were stunned, not knowing what to do.

Chen Mo walked upstairs, "Let's send it to him first. Good night, brother."

Behind it was Yang Shule's complaining voice, and Yang Zhi's reply that was hard to tell whether it was soothing or impatient.

Chen Mo went upstairs and entered.

The room was just as I left it and was cleaned ok.

Chen Mo picked up a robe that he had never worn and went into the bathroom.

The only advantage of this room is that it has an extra-large bathtub with massage function. Chen Mo filled it with hot water and soaked in it until he felt drowsy.

Until there was a knock on the door.

The servant carefully handed over the essential oil and the phone, and said, "Master Mo, I saw that your phone was always on, so I brought it in for you."

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Mo took it with his wet hands and found that there was quite a bit of information.

The latest one is from Xi Siyan.

He asked, are you sure you don’t need to answer it?

Chen Mo's hands were wet, so it was inconvenient for him to type, so he just clicked on the video.

This was the first time that Chen Mo called Xi Siyan via video. After all, they saw each other every day at school.

It rang twice and the other end picked up.

Xi Siyan's face looked even more amazing in the video. It was only half of his body, so it was hard to tell where he was. All I could tell was that he was probably in his room or at home, and it was very quiet around him.

"Squad leader." Chen Mo called him that.

The hot water made his voice slightly hoarse, and the massage on the back of his waist was at its strongest. He hummed slightly and said lazily, "Don't worry, you really don't need to answer it." He also said, "Thank you for caring about your classmates in the middle of the night."

Xi Siyan in the camera stared at him, frowned and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

"bath."

Chen Mo answered, then noticed that his face in the small window was flushed, his hair was wet, and his whole body was trembling slightly because of the vibrating massage function.

He realized that the other party might have misunderstood.

He laughed so hard that he leaned sideways on the edge of the bathtub and looked at the camera, "Don't worry, no matter how shameless I am, I will never do anything to your face."

Xi Siyan looked at the person on the phone who couldn't suppress his laughter.

Ask: "What can you do?"

Because of his lying position, Chen Mo was very close to the camera, as if he did it on purpose. He did not make any sound and only two words could be vaguely discerned from his lip movements.

——Self-abuse.

Then, in Xi Siyan's eyes, which were difficult to discern emotions, he laughed out loud.
