"I've seen it in other places." Yan Mo was in Spain, where it snowed heavily almost every year. The world was covered in a layer of silver. As Xiaoping said, it was really beautiful. Yan Mo suddenly looked forward to the snow in a few days.

"Right! When it snows, the surface of Sayram Lake will be covered with thick ice. Then many people will ski and skate on it. It will be fun," Xiaoping said excitedly. Boys naturally like dangerous and exciting games. Ice skating on the lake attracts Xiaoping very much and he goes there to play every year.

Yan Mo's eyes shone with a strange look, and he was obviously very interested.

later,

Xiaoping also introduced many scenic spots suitable for winter travel. Some of them were visited by Yanmo, some were originally planned to be visited but were not visited due to sudden robberies, and some were very niche places that she had never heard of.

Si Ze was listening quietly at the side, watching the scene with a smile. He was not good at speaking, and Si Ze could not get a word in when Yan Mo and Xiao Ping were talking. But seeing Yan Mo laughing so happily, he felt happy too.

Several people spent the morning in a happy atmosphere. In the afternoon, Xiaoping was called back to the army. When he was leaving, he still looked reluctant to leave.

So for many days afterwards, Xiaoping would come to see Si Ze, staying for most of the day, and one day he even stayed until dark.

Later on, Si Ze wanted to kick him out, but the little brat would come up with different tricks every day to make Yan Mo very happy, so Si Ze just let him go.

"Xiao Ze, your wound is healing very well." Professor Tan looked at Si Ze's gradually healing wound and nodded, saying, "Xiao He, prepare your things. You can remove the stitches today."

After receiving the order, Nurse Xiao He went out and quickly brought the tools needed to remove the stitches.

Except for the first night when Si Ze's wound split, he recovered very well in the following days. His recovery speed was faster than that of an ordinary person, and the stitches were removed on the fifth day.

"Thank you for your help, Professor Tan." Yan Mo said gratefully.

Yan Mo didn't dare to look at this scene and turned to look out the window.

Professor Tan put on gloves, took the scissors handed to him by Nurse Xiao He, and removed the stitches on Si Ze's abdominal wound. Although Professor Tan was in his sixties, he was not slow. The whole process of removing the stitches took less than five minutes.

"Alright." Professor Tan took off his gloves and told Yan Mo: "Don't let the wound get wet for now."

Yan Mo responded, "Okay, Professor Tan."

"It's okay, Xiaoyan, don't call me Professor Tan. Just call me Grandpa Tan like Xiaoze!" Professor Tan said with a smile.

These days, the little girl has been working tirelessly to take care of Si Ze. He has seen it all. No wonder, old man Si looks for his old friends like them every day to show off his grandson's wife.

"Grandpa Tan." Yan Mo called out obediently.

"Well, you and Xiaoze are both good kids." Professor Tan praised, his expression becoming lonely.

This subtle change happened to be caught by Yan Mo.

After Professor Tan and the others left, Yan Mo asked Si Ze the reason.

Si Ze explained the reason, and Yan Mo's doubts were resolved. She had been curious about Professor Tan since she met him. He was obviously of the same generation as her grandfather and should have retired long ago, so why was he still working?

It turned out that Professor Tan himself applied not to retire because he was an empty-nest elderly man with no children and would be alone if he went back. Therefore, he would rather stay in the hospital.

Si Ze said, "According to Grandpa Tan, we'll keep doing it until he can't do it anymore."

Later, Si Ze told Yan Mo about Professor Tan’s legendary life.

"How do you know this?" Yan Mo asked puzzledly.

"Grandpa told me that he and Grandpa Tan have been good friends for many years. When I was a child, he often told me about their deeds when they were young." Seeing that Yan Mo was listening with relish, Si Ze pondered for a while, raised his head to look at the door, and said in a low voice:

"Actually, Grandpa Tan, he never married for the sake of a girl."

Yan Mo sat down at the head of the bed, blinking his big eyes, his curiosity completely aroused by Si Ze.

Si Ze began to tell Professor Tan’s love story, which was very cliché but still touching.

In that era, it was a common practice to arrange marriages for children. The girl who made Grandpa Tan never marry was the one arranged for him by Professor Tan's father.

Like all other child marriages, they grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. Professor Tan once thought that the girl would definitely become his wife when she grew up.

but,

When Professor Tan was fourteen years old, his family suffered a great change. His father-in-law, who had been very kind to Professor Tan in the past, suddenly changed his mind and became very disgusted with Professor Tan.

Not long after, he even found an excuse to break off the engagement.

Yan Mo could imagine that that period must have been the darkest days in Professor Tan's life. His father was arrested, his mother was driven crazy, and he was forced to divorce his fiancée.

"After the engagement was broken off, the girl was heartbroken and wanted to run away with Professor Tan. However, Professor Tan didn't want to let his beloved suffer with him, and he didn't want to let her suffer. So he promised that he would marry her when he became successful." Si Ze stopped talking here and didn't continue.

Yan Mo hurriedly urged: "What happened next?"

"I don't know. Grandpa never mentioned it. He just said that Grandpa Tan missed the girl, and when Grandpa Tan went back, that childhood sweetheart had married someone else. For her, Grandpa Tan never married." Si Ze shook his head. He was not a good storyteller, nor was he a person who liked to listen to stories. Over the years, if the old man had not sighed in his ears from time to time, he might not have remembered so much.

Yan Mo felt very sorry that he didn't hear the end, just like Professor Tan's life, although it was wonderful and admirable, it was also regrettable and regrettable.

"So, Momo, let's keep going together, okay? Don't miss out and regret it." Si Ze suddenly changed the subject and looked at her affectionately.

The topic changed too quickly and Yan Mo was unable to react for a moment. He looked at Si Ze with a dazed look.

Si Ze hugged Yan Mo tightly and said hoarsely in her ear, "Mo Mo, can we cancel that contract?"

Although she agreed to give it a try with him, Si Ze knew very well that the way they had been getting along so far was still based on the contract. She had calculated everything clearly, just because she didn't want to owe him anything.

She said that if it wasn't suitable, they would stick to the terms of the contract. This also proved that she might divorce him at any time.

In the past, he felt that this contract was a guarantee for her, and for him as well.

Because there were always many women around him who were entangled with him, and there was even a woman who followed him to the army.

The Si family protected him very well. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there will always be someone who slips through the net and knows his identity.

Therefore, he was also skeptical about Yan Mo at first.

Otherwise it would be inexplicable. Why was it such a coincidence that he saved her in Jiangcheng, and a month later, he returned to Mocheng for a blind date, and the blind date happened to be her.

then,

He had a good first impression of her, but he was also afraid that she was deliberately approaching him for his status and money. In today's world, such women are everywhere.

After spending so much time together, Si Ze had already seen through Yan Mo's character and had long wanted to terminate the contract. Only when he could he completely let go of the axe hanging over his head that could decide his life or death at any time could he be completely at ease.
