Chapter 60

It was not yet completely dark, but the black clouds pressing down on the sky made it seem as if a storm was about to come. The shadows of the trees outside the window of the small town hotel were swaying in the strong wind, while in a room on the third floor, the temperature was rising continuously.

Chen Mo felt a little dizzy.

As a service provider with no experience at all, his initiative did not give him full control.

Every pause in the other person's breath, the blush on the neck, and the slightly furrowed brows can bring a different feeling.

That pure visual experience, when thinking of the phone call half an hour ago, had a double impact. Because the person who was supposed to travel in the endless future was now trapped with him in this small town hotel room.

Intimate, touching and close without reservation.

The reason for all this today is simply because Chen Mo is no longer Chen Mo.

This time, they met at the same point, but ended up with completely different results. From stranger to familiar, from familiar to close, every detail and picture of those flashbacks seemed like a doomsday carnival when they thought of it at this moment.

Because Chen Mo realized.

Some things can be changed, some cannot.

Because this is not some insignificant choice in youth, nor is it a fork in the road like choosing a school where there is still room for maneuver. This is an inevitable path, just like Chen Mo's rebirth, there are always some inevitable choices.

The banquet took a bit long.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Chen Mo has no skills at all.

But the blood in a young body can easily boil. A kiss, an intertwined breath, a touch of lips and skin, not only Xi Siyan, but also Chen Mo's back was soaked with sweat.

When Xi Siyan finished, Chen Mo lay on his chest without hesitation, letting their wet bodies stick together.

Xi Siyan put down his arm that was covering his eyes and tried to lift him up.

"So tired?" He seemed to be both angry and a little amused. "Why are you so reckless all of a sudden? I told you to stop making trouble."

Chen Mo turned his head to breathe, brushed the sweat on Xi Siyan's chin with his fingers, and said nothing.

Xi Siyan stood up, glanced at Chen Mo's lower body, and asked, "Help you?"

"No need." Chen Mo finally climbed up from his chest, got off the bed, and said, "I don't abuse patients."

Chen Mo went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After coming out, he said he was going to buy some food so that Xi Siyan could fill his stomach, and then he took his phone and went downstairs.

A few people were sitting in the lobby downstairs playing mahjong. When the boss saw him, he warned him, "It's almost dark, why are you out? It's going to rain heavily later."

"I'll just buy some food at the supermarket across the street." Chen Mo said.

At a distance of fifty meters, Chen Mo was too lazy to even take an umbrella.

When he walked to the door of the supermarket opposite, Chen Mo's cell phone rang. It was an email alert.

He took it out and took a look. The English text was very brief and only consisted of one sentence when translated.

——His leg was injured, but his life was saved. The news is correct.

This was a private intelligence mailbox that Chen Mo had contacted in his previous life. As long as he was willing to pay, he would use it. He had used it to check the overseas accounts of Yang Zhi's confidant. Now it really came in handy.

Although the old man said that the situation was most likely to be dangerous, Chen Mo guessed that since the Xi family had said that they would give Xi Jianxing three days, they would definitely not say that when Xi Jianxing's life was really in danger.

It's okay to scare a real high school student.

But Chen Mo is not like that.

As it turned out, he guessed right.

This reduced Chen Mo's guilt a lot. After all, no matter how confident he was, he wouldn't dare to bet on that one in ten thousand chance.

Not to mention that he had also met Xi Jianxing.

Chen Mo went into the supermarket and picked up some bread and milk.

When I was checking out, I suddenly heard the sound of raindrops hitting the iron roof in front of the supermarket outside.

From dots, it became a patch, and in a moment it became a flood.

He came out of the supermarket carrying a bag, but did not rush into the rain immediately. Instead, he looked at the small puddles formed on the ground by the rain curtains formed by the eaves, and was distracted for a moment.

When he looked up, he suddenly stopped.

The person holding an umbrella across the street looked like he had been waiting for a long time.

There were few pedestrians on the streets of the town at night, only the lights of the roadside shops emitted a dim light. Through the rain, they stared at each other for a long time, and finally Xi Siyan was the first to move and walked over.

Xi Siyan walked to Chen Mo's side, put away his umbrella, shook off the rain, and stood side by side with him, without saying anything or urging him.

Chen Mo sideways glanced at him.

Liao Ran: “When did you know?”

"After you go out, you will know that it is not difficult." Xi Siyan said calmly, "There is always a way."

Chen Mo was really confused: "Can I really not hide things like this?"

"It's not that you can't hide it, it's that I understand you." Xi Siyan looked back, his eyes dark and he couldn't tell if he was happy or angry. "I could tell you had something to say, but I didn't expect it to be this."

Chen Mo was stunned for two seconds, then quickly smiled again.

"Xi Siyan, do you know what the first life creed I believed in when I was born? It is that if you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Your second uncle's life or death is not caused by me, and your Xi family's agreement has nothing to do with me. I like you, and only us. This relationship has just started, and the feeling of being together is not enough. I plan to hide it to the end."

Xi Siyan's eyes froze, "You know that's not what I care about. Since you didn't tell me right away, have you already made a decision in your heart?"

Chen Mo rolled over the rain water splashing around his feet, and when he looked up he changed his address: "Brother Yan. We all know that this was just an accident."

Xi Siyan pressed his forehead and frowned.

"I'm sorry."

Chen Mo: "What are you apologizing for?"

"Let you face the impact of this incident." Xi Siyan said: "I was overconfident and thought I had enough time, and..."

"Hey." Chen Mo interrupted with a smile.

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "If people knew that our Xi Shen is so good at self-examination, the others would have no chance of living either."

With seriousness in his eyes, Chen Mo turned around and took a step forward, facing Xi Siyan.

"You are so nice. You broke all my preconceived notions about you. You are loyal and patient with your friends. You have clear life goals and work hard for them. To me." At this point, Chen Mo lowered his head and smiled again, "In fact, this is what surprised me the most. When I am with you, it is difficult to notice your background. Because you have been careful, tolerant and understanding enough for me, you empathize with my past, and are willing to accompany me to any position, any place, I don't think I will meet anyone like you again."

Give him extra lessons.

Make decisions for him and control his smoking and drinking.

Always behind him, whenever he needs her.

Too many memories, all about this person.

He amazed countless youths and was the kind of top figure on campus that people would still talk about many years later. Even someone like Chen Mo, who had a special experience and a different life trajectory, could not escape.

Xi Siyan did not respond from beginning to end.

He seemed to know what Chen Mo was going to say next.

His brows were deeply furrowed.

really.

Chen Mo said: "But. That's all."

"Because the Xi family said they would only give you three days?" Xi Siyan seemed to be on the verge of endurance when he said this.

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head: "Not because of anyone. I hate having expectations and obsessions for anyone or anything. It may be difficult for you to understand this, but this is me. I won't tell you that I'm waiting for you. I can't make such a promise, and it's even more impossible for me to give up my established trajectory and follow you. I will really only live for myself."

Chen Mo said it so firmly.

Eight parts true and two parts false.

Those two points came from him underestimating his own feelings.

It was not easy to make this decision, and it was even harder to say it out loud. It is said that the stomach is the sensor of emotions. At this moment, he had to look at the night sky where rain was dripping continuously to suppress his urge to vomit.

The stomach disease that I hadn't had for a long time came back quietly.

Xi Siyan's path is already determined.

Chen Mo had just signed a contract with Su Qianran and Lao K.

He had many other high-sounding reasons, such as your family's disapproval, lack of confidence, and fear. But he finally chose the one that was closest to reality and the cruelest.

Inform the other person from an adult's perspective.

He just didn't want to continue.

He let go of his hand.

They booked a car back to Suicheng early the next morning.

They were clearly just chatting casually in the rental house not long ago, and were still close friends in the countryside a day ago. The time interval was so short, so short that in just one night and a high-speed train ride back, the world had already changed completely.

After getting off the bus, walk out of the station.

There were two black cars parked outside, one in front and one in the back.

This time it was not Uncle Lin who was driving the car, but a driver Chen Mo had never seen before.

Two bodyguards stood at the car door, looking serious.

The bodyguard respectfully opened the car door and waited.

Xi Siyan was still holding Chen Mo's suitcase and said to him, "I'll take you back first."

"No thanks." Chen Mo took the suitcase, looked at the open car door and said, "I'll take a taxi later. After that... I won't see you off. You haven't recovered from your cold yet. Remember to take your medicine."

Xi Siyan did not let go of the suitcase.

"Chen Mo." He examined his face and frowned: "You look bad."

Chen Mo touched it reflexively, "Really? You didn't sleep well last night. Didn't you also not sleep all night?"

At this time, a young man leaned out from the passenger seat of the car. He should be less than 30 years old. He had a bit of evil in his eyes and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He said, "Si Yan, your grandfather said that since you came back early, he will let you fly abroad tonight. The ticket has been booked for you. Don't worry, your...classmate, someone will be responsible for sending him back."

Xi Siyan glanced over coldly.

The man raised an eyebrow and sat back.

Chen Mo didn't know this person, so he asked, "Who is that?"

"Han Gan was raised by the Xi family." Xi Siyan frowned, "He has always been a frivolous person, don't bother with him."

Chen Mo nodded.

"Then, have a safe journey."

The station is bustling with people.

Xi Siyan looked at Chen Mo in front of him and was surprised to find that he had been completely transformed in this year.

He climbed to the top of the grade, separated himself from the Yang family, and dealt well with all the troubles brought by Chen Jianli.

Xi Siyan imagined all the possible misfortunes and crises that might lurk around Chen Mo, and finally had to admit that he could live well even without her.

The future is promising.

Bright and shining.

Just as they had expected from each other.

In the end, Chen Mo rejected Han Gan's offer.

All the way, I watched the car carrying Xi Siyan driving farther and farther away.

Xi Siyan said nothing at the end, no farewell, no blessing, no hug. He just paused before turning around to get in the car, then sat in the car and let the bodyguard close the door.

As the car pulled into the traffic, Han Gan stared at the rearview mirror and said, "He got in the car and left, too."

"Yeah." Xi Siyan leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, and didn't look back.

Han Gan continued, "I thought I would see a touching scene of birth and death today. Are you two really together? Did your family members make a mistake in their investigation?"

Xi Siyan opened his eyes and looked over. "Have you been living too comfortably abroad these past few years?"

"Don't be so mean." Han Gan curled his lips. "To be honest, at your age, isn't it important to have a passionate relationship? But from what I saw today, I don't know whether to say you are mean, or that your boyfriend is more mean."

Xi Siyan frowned, not wanting to bother with him, and just asked, "How is Second Uncle?"

"He's awake. He needs to rest." Han Gan suddenly became serious. He pushed his glasses, making him look like a big-tailed fox. When he mentioned Xi Jianxing's injury, he looked very angry. "We have investigated the perpetrators. Their illegal shell company has close ties with local gangs. Your second uncle just arrived and hasn't figured out the details."

Having said that, Han Gan covered his forehead with his hands, seemingly speechless.

"On the surface, he is just an educator. Is there no one left in your Xi family?"

Xi Siyan: "Don't you know the internal situation of the Xi family? Grandpa is seriously ill, and the closest relatives will become man-eating jackals. Many people have been waiting for this moment for a long time. There is no one more suitable than Second Uncle."

"Rich families are prone to trouble." Han Gan summed it up with this sentence, and suddenly said: "You are so virtuous, and you are willing to break up completely. Is it because you finally realized that the big trouble of the Xi family cannot be solved in a short time?"

Xi Siyan said nothing.

Han Gan clapped his hands to himself, "As expected, only when you are young will you be so lenient when doing things."

"Are you done yet?" Xi Siyan kicked the back of the passenger seat.

Han Gan continued: "What a pity. Your boyfriend... No, ex-boyfriend? If you really dated him, he should be your ex-boyfriend, right? He is a college student. Just think about how many high-quality talents he will meet. Wouldn't you be jealous?"

Then he said, "He's really good-looking. I heard his grades are pretty good, right? If I were you, I'd tie him up and throw him in the car first."

Xi Siyan tugged at his collar vigorously.

When his fingers accidentally touched the tooth mark where his shoulder met his neck, he was slightly startled.

"Han Gan." He suddenly spoke.

The passenger turned around and asked, "What?"

"Don't let me hear you say anything from now until you get on the plane."

Everyone in the car, including the driver and the bodyguard in the car behind who had been wearing earphones, fell silent. Something was rapidly fading from this new generation representative who was about to officially step onto the Xi family stage, and something new was constantly growing in him.

The succession of generations in a large family is always accompanied by one cost or another.

Only Han Gan could see clearly.

The old man had assigned him to follow the prince of the Xi family. Besides his gentlemanly appearance, he also had a forbidden zone that he could not touch.

A boy named Chen Mo whom he met during his teenage years.

In the year when Xi Siyan was about to come of age, he was the one who defaulted to staying where he was.

Xi Siyan may have thought about tying the man up and taking him away thousands of times.

He didn't do that.

So no one is allowed to touch it.
