Chapter 37
Chen Mo had never been so close to anyone in his entire life.
Especially when he could clearly feel his knee being controlled in someone's palm, he felt a little at a loss.
Under the dim light, Xi Siyan looked very natural and his movements did not seem awkward.
"You seem to be very good at taking care of people." Chen Mo said.
Xi Siyan changed his towel once more and said, "I grew up with my grandparents. You know, when people get older, they always have problems of one kind or another."
Chen Mo: "Then you must have a very good relationship with your grandparents."
"Not bad." Xi Siyan smiled.
He persisted in applying the hot compress for nearly ten minutes before stopping and saying, "It's done."
"Thank you." Chen Mo retracted his legs and sat cross-legged on the bed.
The air conditioner was on in the room. Xi Siyan's eyes swept across his red knees, then moved down and asked casually, "Is that a burn on your foot?"
"This?" Chen Mo asked, rubbing his fingers across the scar in the middle of his ankle.
"Um."
"It was a cigarette burn." Chen Mo said casually, "I didn't treat it at the time, and it was summer, so it got inflamed, so the scar is a bit obvious."
Xi Siyan had seen the scars on Chen Mo's body.
There is more than one place.
That day at the Yang family villa, he came out of the swimming pool and so many people present saw it.
But no one would ask why the poor but harmonious family that adopted him in the news would allow a 17-year-old boy to have old scars all over his body.
Xi Siyan had already heard the truth about his experience from him during their last visit to the Chinese medicine clinic.
But when his finger accidentally touched the circular scar just now, he still couldn't help but ask him. Chen Mo has fair skin, and the difficult environment he grew up in since childhood did not wear away his white skin, so the scar is particularly obvious. And the person who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and didn't care about the cause of the scar, even gave Xi Siyan an illusion.
The person in front of him has an absolutely mature and resolute soul, strong enough to support all his current situations and pains.
The people who found it a little unbearable for him were the bystanders.
Xi Siyan did not ask for details any more.
"Go to bed early," he said.
Chen Mo had already ignored the slight discomfort he had just felt. His body felt warm and comfortable after the hot compress, and sleepiness soon came over him.
Chen Mo slept soundly in the second half of the night.
I didn't dream anything.
When I woke up the next day, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
The outdoor ski resort in the distance was covered in white. The light snow in Icefield Town last night did not stop, but continued to snow all night.
The air in the room was a bit dry because the air conditioner was on all night.
Chen Mo turned around and found a glass of water on his bedside table, but Xi Siyan was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Mo turned on his cell phone.
After seeing Xi Siyan’s message, I realized that the others had gone to the ski resort early in the morning.
Chen Mo called Lao Gou.
"Hey! Chen Mo!" Along with Lao Gou's voice came the whistling cold wind.
Chen Mo propped himself up and leaned against the head of the bed, took two sips of water and asked, "What happened to you?"
"Yeah, Jiang Xu and I are still in the process of practicing. We fell so hard that mom almost didn't recognize us!"
Chen Mo laughed and put down the cup, "I'll come find you later."
"Don't come." Lao Gou stopped him immediately, "Brother Yan said that you had leg pain last night, so I didn't call you. Have a good rest, we will be back before noon."
Chen Mo: "Where are the others?"
"Over there on the advanced track." Lao Gou panted heavily, "Those young masters are showing off their skills over there. Many people are running to watch."
Chen Mo was not surprised.
In his previous life, Yang Shule learned how to ski because Qi Lin and his gang knew how to do it and they organized sports activities every winter.
Chen Mo later learned many skills, such as golf, billiards, rowing and so on.
Most of them are used for business entertainment.
He really doesn't know how to ski and has no intention of joining in the fun.
However, he got up, washed, and took the cable car to the top of the mountain.
There are all kinds of shops and food on the top of the mountain. It is New Year's Day this season, so it is really crowded. Chen Mo went to the ski hall and walked around.
"Little brother." Someone suddenly stopped him.
Chen Mo looked at the two young girls who jumped in front of him. They were probably about 17 or 18 years old and were wearing white ski suits. One of the girls with a round face and bangs asked, "Are you alone?"
"I'm with my classmates." Chen Mo said.
Chen Mo didn't know why the other party called him, so he asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The two girls looked at each other, and the round-faced girl stepped forward and whispered, "We are just getting started, and we are going to the beginner track. I see you are alone, so I want to ask if you want to join a team?"
"Oh." Chen Mo waved his hand and smiled, "You two at least got through the door. I don't even know which way the door opens. I'm not good at sliding. Sorry."
The girl's eyes were full of regret. She whispered to Chen Mo, "The coaches here are so expensive. We originally wanted to find a great coach to guide us."
Chen Mo laughed: "Do I look like a great god?"
"It's mainly because you're handsome." The girl was also very direct.
The two girls had actually been paying attention to him for quite some time.
Among the crowd of people rushing up to ski, he was the only one wandering around the top of the mountain.
She looks very young, and the black down jacket she wears makes her legs look especially long.
The round-faced girl really didn't want to give up, especially after seeing Chen Mo's good temper, she suggested: "It's so cold anyway, and we don't really want to skate, how about we find a place to have a drink together?"
If Chen Mo still can't see the signs by now, he would have lived in vain for so many years.
However, he felt he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this kind of girl's sudden flirtation, so he refused with a smile: "I'm not thirsty, so I won't drink. What do you want to drink? I'll treat you."
At this time, on the advanced track.
Qi Lin, Bai Cheng and a few others had enjoyed enough of the astonished gazes of passers-by and stopped to rest.
"Where is Mr. Xi?" Qi Lin asked.
The person next to him pointed to the back and said ambiguously, "He's discussing technology with a girl."
Qi Lin looked back, slapped the man on the head, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, that's Xixi from the UI Club, she is being trained as a scout for the national team. Although she is only 19 years old, she is considered a senior in the skiing world, and she has a lot of apprentices."
Bai Cheng: "Old Xi seems to be very familiar with him."
Qi Lin: "How can we not be familiar with each other? We are brothers and sisters, and we were brought up by the same master."
"Isn't that older than Brother Yan? Why is she still my junior sister?"
"Old Xi has been skiing since he was six years old. Do you want to compare his qualifications with others?"
As soon as these words were spoken, two figures, one red and one black, came flying down from the top of the mountain in an interlaced manner. Anyone who knows a little about skiing could see that the two people's skills were very proficient, and every move was at the textbook level.
When we got closer, we saw two sudden brakes, and the snow walls that rose up were several meters high.
"Damn it!" Several people who were soaked complained, "You did it on purpose!"
“It’s terrible.”
"You should be kicked out of the ski resort for this kind of behavior!"
The girl in red took off her goggles, laughed, turned to the person parked behind her and said, "You brought a lot of new friends this year." Then she turned back and said hello, "Hello."
A group of people said, "Hello, young lady."
"Old Xi, please introduce yourself."
The person behind, who was wearing a black ski suit and fully armed with a completely invisible face, did not introduce himself to the girl. He just said to the girl, "I can't answer your professional question just now. You should ask your coach."
"I have to test you." The girl smiled brightly, "You are just a hobbyist, but every year you come here to beat up my group of self-proclaimed professionals and make them cry. I have to test whether you have regressed this year."
"Let's go." Xi Siyan called to others.
The girl was anxious, "Hey, leaving so early?!"
As a result, the person she was calling had quickly disappeared on the ski slope.
The junior sister was confused, and turned to ask her acquaintance Qi Lin: "What's going on? He must skate here for at least half a day every year, how come he's leaving after such a short time?"
Qi Lin also looked innocent: "How would I know?"
When the whole group gathered back at the ski hall, Lao Gou and his friends also came out from the beginner track.
There are a lot of people traveling here this year, and the hall is packed.
Lao Gou and Qi Lin complained: "You haven't seen the situation on the beginner track. It's like dumpling dumpling. It's boring. It's just noobs fighting each other."
"Where are we going next?" Qi Lin asked.
Lao Gou: "Let's go back first, Chen Mo is still in the villa."
As soon as you mention it, others will remember it.
"Is Moge okay?"
"The old man only said that his legs hurt, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Let's go back then, it's almost time for lunch."
A group of people discussed and walked out.
Not long after I left, someone pointed at the glass window of a beverage store and asked, "Why does that guy look so much like Mo Shao?"
"Bullshit." Lao Gou retorted subconsciously, "He just called me at around nine o'clock. He... fuck."
This is the scene everyone saw at this moment.
Chen Mo was leaning on a chair, listening to someone talking with a smile. Opposite him were two girls, chattering away and having a heated discussion.
Chen Mo didn't know that he was being watched by acquaintances.
He originally planned to pay and leave, but the girl kept asking questions. Chen Mo actually didn't really listen to what the girl was saying, his mind was a little blank.
But he seemed to be lost in thought, and his expression gave the impression that he was listening attentively.
Until the glass door of the beverage shop was pushed open again.
The girl across from him happened to ask him if he knew anyone who was particularly good at skiing. Chen Mo raised his chin towards the door and said, "The expert you're looking for is here."
The two girls turned back at the same time.
Then he was petrified on the spot.
Chen Mo was just wondering why they reacted like this when he saw a girl walking out right behind Xi Siyan.
The girl looked at the table, tilted her head and whispered something to Xi Siyan.
Looks quite familiar.
As they were talking, Chen Mo noticed that there was a group of conspicuous people standing outside the glass window on his left. When he looked over, they were waving at him frantically, looking quite happy.
Chen Mo wanted to ask them why they didn't come in.
Then I found that Xi Siyan and the girl were already approaching.
The two girls in front of Chen Mo spoke before Chen Mo: "Senior Sister."
Then he turned to another person, looking like a quail and speaking like a mosquito, "Senior Brother."
Chen Mo: “…”
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xi Siyan: "Know him?"
Xi Siyan was still wearing his black ski suit. He might have just come down from the ski field, and he was still covered in snow and wind, which made him look a little colder and harder.
He hummed, apparently responding to the two girls' greetings.
Chen Mo saw the girl next to Xi Siyan again, with a gloating expression on her face, and said to the other two girls: "I usually told you not to flirt with little brothers, but you didn't listen. Now look what happened, you flirted with your senior brother."
The round-faced girl blushed.
"We just had a drink together."
Chen Mo felt that the atmosphere was quite weird.
Surprised, he asked the person who walked up to him, "Where did you get so many junior sisters?"
"Are you not leaving yet?" Xi Siyan had already taken the bag that he had hung on the stool.
Chen Mo didn't say anything and stood up.
We are all at the door.
Chen Mo turned around and heard a conversation behind him.
"Senior sister, why is Senior Brother here? Isn't he a person who doesn't have any basic skills?"
"Classmates? How can classmates become people who cannot know each other? This senior brother is too overbearing."
