Chapter 35
When Xi Siyan crossed the road and walked step by step in front of Chen Mo, Chen Mo could hear the faint rustling sound of snowflakes hitting the umbrella amid the noisy honking of traffic.
Soon, half of the black umbrella fell on his head.
Xi Siyan glanced at his slightly damp hair and shoulders and asked, "Why don't you bring an umbrella?"
"Are you back today?" Chen Mo asked at the same time.
After asking the questions, Chen Mo answered first.
"I don't think about it." Then he added: "The rain stopped when school was over, and I didn't think it would snow... seeds."
Xi Siyan seemed to be amused by the words he emphasized. After all, Chen Mo said that where he grew up, the snow was as deep as the calves every winter.
The umbrella in Xi Siyan's hand tilted a little more towards this side.
At the same time, he turned back to look at the road that Chen Mo had just come out of, and explained to him: "There are some years when Suicheng also has heavy snow, but it's just New Year's Day, so even if there is, it won't snow at this time."
When he finished speaking, he had already retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go."
Chen Mo was puzzled: "Where are you going?"
Xi Siyan glanced at him and said, "Are you planning to stay in school for the three days of New Year's Day?"
"This is the plan." Chen Mo walked side by side with him back to the traffic light and said, "Lao Gou and his friends originally planned to celebrate the festival in a place called Bingyuan Town down below. They said there would be many New Year's Eve activities and a ski resort. I was too lazy to join in the fun, so I declined."
The light happened to be green.
Xi Siyan stepped off the road before him, holding up an umbrella and waiting, "I just happened to be going there, and they asked me to take you with them."
Chen Mo was a little surprised, "Didn't you just come back?"
"Icefield Town is not far away." Xi Siyan laughed: "It's mainly because my performance in the semi-finals was good, so they asked me to go over there to treat them."
Chen Mo commented, "He has a very dark heart."
He didn't ask Xi Siyan because he knew that what he called "good" actually meant winning first place in the city competition.
Not only the city-level competition, but also the national competition, he even had to participate in the International Physics Olympiad. In his previous life, Chen Mo even thought that he would continue on this path. As it turned out, he gave up the admission quota and successfully went abroad. A few years later, he came back to take over the huge Xi family and did a great job.
How could it be possible that for someone born in the Xi family, there is only one path in life?
No matter what you choose, it is something that ordinary people can never catch up with even if they flatter you all their lives.
Xi Siyan asked: "Are you going? This is one of the few chances you can follow and kill me."
Chen Mo took the opportunity to ask, "Now that we've entered the national competition, when will the training start?"
"Probably after the new year."
Chen Mo nodded to show that he heard it.
I know that starting from the second half of the semester, I will rarely have the opportunity to see him in school.
At this time, they had already walked to the side of the car. Xi Siyan opened the back door, blocked the roof for him in a very gentlemanly manner, and tilted his head to signal: "Get in the car first, otherwise you will arrive too late."
"I haven't said I'm going yet, have I?" Chen Mo stood by the door and looked down at himself, "Besides, I didn't bring anything with me."
Xi Siyan gently pulled him and reminded him to go up first.
Just say: "Buy it when you get there."
The car had already driven several hundred meters away.
Chen Mo finally came to his senses.
Looking at the person sitting next to him with his eyes closed, he said, "Don't tell me you never planned to take me back to school, did you?"
Xi Siyan opened his eyes and looked sideways.
He raised his eyebrows, "I came here specially to pick you up, are you sure you don't want to go?"
The lights in the car were a little dim.
Chen Mo looked into Xi Siyan's eyes and sensed a hint of genuine sleepiness.
Question: "Didn't you get enough rest?"
"Yeah." Xi Siyan raised his head and pinched his brows, smiling helplessly: "I haven't slept for two consecutive days because of an experiment, so Brother Mo is reluctant to be touched? I'll take a nap."
Chen Mo was suddenly speechless.
It didn't really make much difference to him whether to go or not, but he certainly couldn't bring himself to ask someone to turn back now.
There was a message from Lao Gou on the phone.
Lao Gou: "Where are you?"
Chen Mo: "...How did you know I was coming?"
Lao Gou: "The squad leader asked you where you were in the group chat. I said you weren't here, so he said he would take you with him."
Chen Mo: "Didn't you ask him to take me?"
Lao Gou: "Is there a difference?"
Chen Mo: “…”
Lao Gou: "Anyway, Brother Yan is here to help. Even if you hibernate in the ground, he will probably be able to dig you out three feet underground."
Chen Mo: "Thank you."
Chen Mo is not really afraid of the cold, he just doesn't like all the troubles and physical discomforts that winter brings. For example, knee pain, cold hands and feet, no matter how many medicines he takes, it has no effect.
The car is well heated at the moment.
Chen Mo felt a little drowsy leaning against the back of his chair, not to mention that there was a genius who had not slept for forty-eight hours next to him.
Uncle Lin drives very steadily.
Chen Mo had no idea when he fell asleep.
I only knew that when I woke up from the bumpy ride, my shoulders and neck were numb with pain. When I got up, I realized that I had slept with Xi Siyan head to head all the way. Most of my head was on his shoulder. Xi Siyan was holding his hands, and his long legs were spread apart and couldn't be stretched out. I thought his posture must be much more uncomfortable than mine.
But he wasn't awake yet. Chen Mo glanced at his clothes and subconsciously patted the wrinkles on his shoulders.
The next second, someone grabbed my wrist.
Xi Siyan opened his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice: "What are you doing?"
"So alert?" Chen Mo motioned him to let go. "I'm going to take care of the clothes I paid for. By the way, I want to ask you, how does it feel to wear them?"
Xi Siyan raised his head and stood up, moving his shoulders. Probably feeling the same as himself, he frowned.
I heard what he said and looked at him: "Take it off and let you try it?"
Chen Mo: "You don't have to be so realistic."
It's dark outside now.
Bingyuan Town is at least a hundred kilometers away from Suicheng. The weather there is a little colder than in Suicheng. It is almost eight o'clock in the evening and you can already see snow on the grass by the roadside, instead of the situation in Suicheng where the snow melts as soon as it hits the ground.
We might have arrived, as the traffic ahead was slowly gathering.
Chen Mo asked the driver, Uncle Lin, "Have you been here before?"
"I come here often." Uncle Lin smiled and looked back at Xi Siyan, then at Chen Mo: "Didn't Siyan tell you? The Xi family has a resort here. The number of visitors here in winter reaches new highs every year. It's very lively. There are ice and fire festivals, ice sculpture hot pot, amusement parks, and New Year's Eve bonfire parties. There are many places to play."
Chen Mo looked at Xi Siyan's unresponsive face and said, "It seems like this is your own territory. Those people in the class don't know about this, right? If they knew, they wouldn't be asking you to treat them."
"Well, I don't know." Xi Siyan replied while touching his pocket.
Chen Mo: "What are you looking for?"
Xi Siyan quickly took out a medal and threw it into his arms, with an action as casual as taking out a pack of toilet paper.
"I left in a hurry and never came home. This is all I have with me."
Chen Mo picked it up and looked at it against the light, then gave him a questioning syllable.
"Give me?"
"Here you go."
"Bribe me?"
"Can I bribe you?"
Chen Mo flipped it over and over, looked at it a few times, and put it in his pocket.
Xiaoxiao: "Then I have to see how Brother Yan serves us on his own turf."
Sure enough, the group of people from the school who were planning to spend the holiday together actually booked the Xi family’s resort.
This resort should have been expanded in the past two years. It is located halfway up the mountain and is no worse than the luxury hotels in first-tier cities. It is brightly lit at night, and there is even a fountain pool on the dam in front, from which you can overlook the scenery of the entire town.
Chen Mo took the medal that Xi Siyan casually threw to him, just for fun.
The wall of honor in Xi Siyan's house must have been already filled with them, so naturally he wouldn't take this seriously.
As a result, this person really treated himself like a tourist.
Entered the villa, registered, and checked into a room.
When Chen Mo was leaning against the front desk to ask for his ID card, Lao Gou and Qi Lin and his gang came out of the elevator wearing disposable slippers.
"Squad leader? Damn, you're finally back."
"Master Mo!"
"Call first when you get there, quietly."
Lao Gou put his arm around Chen Mo's neck and said, "I knew you would come. You should get out and move around more often, right, Brother Yan?"
Lao Gou turned to Xi Siyan for approval.
Xi Siyan handed Chen Mo his ID card and replied with a smile: "Yes."
"Hey, don't give it to me, don't give it to me." After noticing Xi Siyan's actions, Lao Gou took two steps over, snatched the ID from Xi Siyan's hand and said, "I know you are coming, and I have already booked a room. But it's for two people. You don't know, I saw online reviews that the service here is very good, and the environment is not bad, who knew the price is so outrageous. And it doubles on holidays, it turns out that these rich capitalists are evil-minded."
Chen Mo looked at the man who had grown up in a "capitalist family" and raised his eyebrows when he saw him, and he echoed, "Yes, it's quite dark."
Chen Mo tried not to laugh too obviously.
Qi Lin and the others went downstairs to eat.
They didn't go together when they first arrived.
Chen Mo followed Xi Siyan up the stairs. After seeing the elevator stop at the fifth floor, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask Lao Gou for the room card.
He called him.
The corridor outside the elevator was carpeted and there was no noise when walking.
Chen Mo followed Xi Siyan's footsteps and walked forward while talking to Lao Gou who was connected on the phone: "Which room are you staying in? 502, right... No, you didn't give me the room card, I'll get it from the front desk later... There are two people in 502? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you..."
Chen Mo hadn't finished speaking when the person in front of him suddenly stopped.
He bumped into it all at once.
After Xi Siyan entered the villa, he took off his coat and held it in his hand. At this moment, he was wearing a white cotton lining. When Chen Mo bumped into him, he felt the warm body temperature of his opponent.
He was startled and looked up: "What?"
Xi Siyan paused for two seconds, looking at his still dazed expression.
In Chen Mo's phone, Lao Gou's voice continued, "Yes, Jiang Xu and I live in the same room. He insisted on dragging me to play games all night. Brother Mo, you can only squeeze in with the squad leader. There are two single beds in the suite, and the squad leader doesn't like men. You treat him as me. Even if you hug each other at night, I believe that you two are very pure."
Chen Mo's forehead was filled with black lines.
Before he could figure out where to start scolding, he noticed a hand reaching out from the front and taking his cell phone away.
Xi Siyan hung up the phone for him.
The other hand swiped open the door on the right, pushed it open, and leaned against the door.
Xi Siyan asked the person on the phone just now: "Have you two ever hugged each other?"
Chen Mo rolled his eyes: "Listen to his nonsense."
