Chapter 38

When Chen Mo and Xi Siyan walked out of the beverage store together, he was surprised by the complaints behind him. After all, it was hard for him to imagine what kind of person Xi Siyan was as a senior brother.

Soon someone gave Chen Mo an answer.

The group of conspicuous people outside the window swarmed over, and Chen Mo asked, "Why didn't you come in just now?"

"Who dares?" Qi Lin was the first to speak, and raised his chin towards Xi Siyan and said, "Don't think that Old Xi is like a star in school, but in this place he is a demon. Those little girls want to stay away from him when they see him. We won't follow him in and be annoying."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Chen Mo said.

Qi Lin spread his hands, "I can't help it. It's his fault that he was born without the ability to be gentle with women. Think about all the girls who came to him for guidance under the banner of being newbies. Not one of them didn't shed tears of regret on the snow track."

Chen Mo was amused by Qi Lin's vivid and emotional description.

Xi Siyan had guided him in his studies and said that he was strict, and Chen Mo had some understanding of this.

At this time, Xi Siyan finished dealing with a few people and walked over.

Ask Chen Mo: "Why did you get together with them?"

"They said they were new and wanted someone to guide them." Chen Mo looked into the store again and happened to meet the gazes of the two girls. Chen Mo nodded at them without any extra feelings and said to Xi Siyan, "I guess they just think it's fun."

Xi Siyan frowned: "Don't bother with them."

"Are you being too strict with your junior sister?" Chen Mo looked at him sideways and teased, "I wouldn't really do anything to a little girl."

Xi Siyan walked side by side with him and looked at him, "Have you figured out that you are the one being teased?"

"The point is that teasing me is useless." Chen Mo smiled generously: "I don't like girls."

Xi Siyan glanced at him twice.

It is hard to tell what emotion is in his eyes, he seems a little speechless, yet a little indulgent.

The group came down from the top of the mountain at noon.

Because of Chen Mo's leg concerns, many ice sports were abandoned in the next two days.

Chen Mo felt a little sorry for holding back, but since everyone was so carefree, no one cared. In addition, the ice sculpture hot pot and various hot spring itineraries arranged by Xi Siyan were enough to keep people busy.

There was a party in town the night before New Year's Day.

The party in the town was no different from other places. The venue was quite down-to-earth, held in the largest square in the town. Grandpas and aunts brought their own low tables and stools, and in the evening before the party started, they ate melon seeds and chatted in the square. The children, dressed in round clothes, chased each other in groups, making it very lively.

Because there are many young people traveling here, the lights and decorations create a special atmosphere.

When the group wandered over to this place, Jiang Xu suggested, "How about we celebrate the New Year together with everyone in the square tonight?"

"Okay."

"We're going back early tomorrow morning, so we have to party all night long."

“Sing loudly!”

"Shout out your unhappiness!"

Chen Mo said something truthful amidst the noise: "People in this town usually go to sleep after midnight. Imagine if we scream in the square in the middle of the night, are we sure we won't be considered crazy?"

"Mr. Mo, you are an old man who doesn't understand the joy of us young people."

“The main focus is on the atmosphere.”

"Brother Mo, come on, let's do it, let's welcome a bright tomorrow!"

After feeling the gazes from all directions, Chen Mo covered his forehead and asked another person leaning on the steps at the edge of the square, "Can you drive these idiots out?"

"I guess not." Xi Siyan said calmly, "This is a public place."

“They are disturbing public peace.”

"Well, there's no way to get rid of it."

Lao Gou jumped out of the crowd in two or three steps, put one hand on Chen Mo's neck, looked at the two of them and said, "What are you talking about? I found out that you two have been secretly gossiping with each other these past two days."

Chen Mo let Lao Gou hold him and asked him, "Want to know?"

"Um."

"Say you two."

"...Chen Mo, you are looking for death!"

Lao Gou attacked him on the waist right away, and not only did he do it himself, he also called other people over.

Chen Mo was forced to join the carnival.

I was in the square with a group of older boys, making snowballs and attacking each other. Someone held my waist and tickled me, and I fell to the ground after being squeezed together with several others.

At that moment, Chen Mo was selfless.

I forgot that I have lived two lives and am not really a seventeen-year-old boy.

Forget everything about the Yang family and the Chen family.

I also forgot that I once tried so hard to fight and climb up, and never knew what freedom meant.

He just felt deeply that he was back to this New Year's Day of the year, surrounded by close friends, laughter, and relaxation and joy from the heart.

By the time the laughter was over, Chen Mo was already sweating all over.

The white breath he exhaled dissipated in the air, and he and a few others returned to where Xi Siyan was leaning, looking at the stage in front of them. The host came on stage on time with the microphone in his hand.

Chen Mo leaned on the stone platform behind him with his elbows, looked ahead, and heard someone ask: "What do you want to do in the future?"

"I want to be a doctor." This is Lao Gou. He has already made clear his future goals without knowing when.

Next is Jiang Xu, "My father suggested that I study law."

He was immediately criticized, "If you persuade others to learn the law, you will be cut into pieces."

“I want to study art.”

"Get lost, why would a science student like you study art?"

"I studied physics and will continue my studies after graduation. I plan to focus on research in the future."

"I studied……"

Among every target, whether clear or vague, only Chen Mo and Xi Siyan remained silent from beginning to end.

Finally someone asked, "Old Xi, what about you?"

"Me?" Chen Mo felt that the person next to him had changed his posture and looked quite relaxed. "Finance or management, I haven't decided yet."

"Shit, if you weren't always doing competitions, I thought you had to take physics."

"It's not surprising, it's obvious that Lao Xi is not someone who can stay in the laboratory every day."

Amidst the various discussions, Chen Mo turned his head to look at the person next to him.

I know that he was admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University through competition, but he finally chose to go abroad. I just don't know whether he made the decision to go abroad later or the Xi family had already chosen the path for him.

"Why are you looking at me?" Xi Siyan looked back at him and asked.

Chen Mo: "You don't look like someone who hasn't thought it through."

Xi Siyan smiled, "What's so strange about this? I'm a normal person too, of course I would also worry about choosing a school and a major."

At this point, he asked, “What about you?”

"I?"

“Do you have a target university or major?”

As soon as he asked, someone naturally followed up with the question: "Yes, Brother Mo, you haven't told me where you plan to study?"

"I'm different from you. I have a typical poor student mentality." Chen Mo looked ahead and smiled lazily, "Although we are in the same class, this is only the second year of high school. Who would put pressure on themselves so early? I prefer to enjoy the present moment."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were met with unanimous condemnation.

After all, to everyone, it is really unreasonable for a dark horse in the grade who performs better and better in the monthly exams to say that he is a poor student.

Chen Mo smiled after listening to all the complaints and ridicule.

Focused on the party ahead.

The New Year's Eve party in Bingyuan Town is a combination of rural and popular styles. It is not very grand, but lively and festive enough. There are also many local special programs, which are refreshing.

The party lasted until twelve in the morning.

The whole audience counted down together.

Then the fireworks exploded in the air on time.

Under the colorful night sky, Chen Mo, for the first time, felt a bit pious, hoping that the love of these young people would never grow old.

After twelve o'clock, the hustle and bustle of the world gradually returns to silence.

A group of people who said they were going to party all night long, yawned one after another, implying that they should just go back to bed.

Then it was unanimously agreed.

As a result, when the group returned to the villa, they found that what greeted them was not soft beds, but another carnival New Year's Eve.

Na Xixi, whom I met on the day of skiing, learned that they were going back to Suicheng the next day, so she organized a party with a group of men and women from the club, saying that they wanted to put it into practice.

Then it was three in the morning.

Chen Mo and Xi Siyan's room was also filled with young men and women.

The room was full of beer bottles, and several people were sitting on the sofa playing games, some were sitting around the double bed playing poker, and some were playing finger-guessing games. The whole room was in chaos. Professional skiers don't drink alcohol, but not many of them were really going to compete, and being away from the school environment, even Lao Gou and the others were completely letting themselves go.

The room was air-conditioned. Chen Mo was sitting in the corner of the sofa wearing a thin sweater he had just bought in town. He was caught by several girls who surrounded him and played dice on the pretext that they were police officers. The loser had to complete a task assigned by the other girls.

"Can I not play?" Chen Mo smiled helplessly and raised his hands in surrender.

One of the girls who met Chen Mo that day immediately said, "No, you have to play."

At this time on the balcony of the room.

Still looking like a young girl, Xixi looked inside the room, nudged the person next to her and said, "Hey, Xi Siyan, I noticed that your classmate seems to be particularly popular with young girls."

Xi Siyan followed his gaze and took a look inside.

It just so happened that Chen Mo won, but he was obviously perfunctory, pointing to a glass of water next to him and asking the loser to drink it, which made people say it was boring. Chen Mo just smiled good-temperedly and let people continue.

Xi Siyan retracted his gaze and said calmly: "What's so strange about liking him? He looks good and has a good personality."

Xixi looked at Xi Siyan in surprise and said, "It's rare to see you praising someone, but are you sure you didn't make a mistake? From what I've observed, he treated those people like children, just like an adult coaxing a child. To be honest, I've only seen this kind of trait in my brother, and my brother is a complete control freak and psychopath."

Xi Siyan glanced over.

Xixi immediately admitted her mistake, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that your classmate's temper should be much more than what he shows."

Xi Siyan did not deny this.

After all, the guy who challenged a group of people in the dormitory alone, could leap on the court, and was extremely pain-tolerant, he also had many other qualities.

For example, fierce, passionate, and forbearing.

Even with so many sides, Xi Siyan sometimes felt that he was too innocent to be seventeen years old.

For example, he tolerates all the noise and bustle around him, for example, he is gentlemanly and well-mannered in dealing with girls, for example, a few hours ago, he looked up at the fireworks with an almost pious gaze.

"Are you really not a professional skater?" Xixi continued the original topic.

Xi Siyan nodded, a little perfunctorily, "Yeah."

Xixi rolled her eyes, "As expected, you rich young masters are best at wasting your talents." At this point, she rolled her eyes and asked, "How is your classmate skating?"

Xi Siyan looked over and said, "Don't go after him. He has a leg injury."

"Ah? Your leg is injured at such a young age. Is it a fracture?"

Xi Siyan did not answer her question.

Soon the sliding door of the balcony was opened.

The protagonist of the previous topic came out wearing a down jacket, and was obviously stunned when he saw the man and woman on the balcony.

Chen Mo slowly tugged at the edge of his coat and asked, "Isn't Lao Gou here?"

"Looking for him?" Xi Siyan asked back.

Chen Mo looked around the room again, and finally returned to the people on the balcony. Finally, under the gazes of several people not far away in the room, he walked to Xi Siyan and stood still.

Xi Siyan raised his eyebrows.

Xixi, who was standing next to him, opened her eyes wide instantly and looked at the person with a leg injury that Xi Siyan mentioned. She took a step forward, put her arm around Xi Siyan's neck with one hand, and breathed into his ear.

From her perspective, the two boys were hugging each other in an ambiguous posture.

That’s not all. After blowing air into the sensitive part of the person, the person let go, touched her belly, and said seriously: “I’m pregnant with your child.”

"puff!"

"Chen Mo, you're looking for me... Bang!"

Lao Gou, who had just come out of the toilet, was almost pinched in the face by the sliding door, and Xixi sprayed the iced black tea in her mouth.

The whole room was quiet inside and out.

Only Xi Siyan stood there calmly.

He maintained the same posture and looked at Chen Mo's belly.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

Chen Mo was so embarrassed that his hair stood on end, and he whispered, "Fuck."

At this time, the culprits who came up with the idea also climbed up the balcony door and stuck their heads out. Then they received the death stare from their senior brothers and a sentence, "Whoever loses the next game, why not come with me to the snow track to practice?"

This one sentence scared several heads so much that they all shrank back.

Chen Mo was finally freed from the game.

He pressed his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

I was just about to tell Lao Gou that I had nothing to do with him and just wanted him to cooperate with the game punishment.

Before he could open his mouth, Xi Siyan pulled him.

Then, facing each other, she lifted his coat and said, "It's cold, so wear it properly if you want to."

"Oh." Chen Mo took over his action and apologized: "I'm sorry for letting you take the blame just now."

Xi Siyan stared at him, "Are you talking about me getting you pregnant?"

"Tsk, the point is that I can't get pregnant either."

"You're quite pitiful?"

"That's not the case, but you didn't even flinch when I blew air just now. Isn't it said that ears are sensitive?"

The other two parties present: "..."

Lao Gou even wanted to shout for help.

I wondered, does Chen Mo know that he looks like he is teasing the squad leader?

Xi Siyan said, "Chen Mo."

"Um."

"Have you ever been in love?"

Chen Mo was puzzled: "I shouldn't fall in love too early."

Lao Gou was heartbroken.

He thought, my brother is not a man who plays hard to get.

He really was just simply confused.

Is a straight gay scary?

Lao Gou didn't think he was scary. Instead, the squad leader, who was half hidden in the dark, looked a little scary now.

Even though Chen Mo clearly stated that the squad leader didn't like men, Lao Gou still inexplicably wanted to pray for his brother.

He had a premonition that sooner or later Chen Mo would fall because of his own certainty.
