Chapter 73
It was already 11 o'clock at night when they returned to the "Rhine Ark" in the community. It was Xi Siyan's second time here. From entering the elevator to asking him for the door password, he was familiar with the place and was more at ease than Chen Mo, the owner.
Chen Mo collapsed on the sofa as soon as he entered the room.
After running around for an entire afternoon and being mentally stressed, he felt a little tired.
There were also messages from Lao K asking for information on his phone, as well as a number of pending matters in the company team. He glanced at them briefly, explained a few words to Lao K, and then threw the phone aside without paying any more attention to it.
It wasn't until someone lifted his legs that he suddenly opened his eyes.
Xi Siyan took off his suit and rolled up his sleeves. He got hot water from the bathroom at some point and sat on the sofa, motioning for him to roll up his trouser legs.
"I'll do it myself." Chen Mo stood up and reached out to take it.
Xi Siyan dodged and said, "You just messed around. Will you be able to walk tomorrow?"
"I'm embarrassed to ask you to do this." Chen Mo took the towel and said, "Besides, you CM is now the leader of Huanshang. We are more or less a cooperative relationship. If the employees of both sides knew about it, who knows what would happen."
Xi Siyan looked at the profile of Chen Mo who was applying the massage cream on his knees.
Ask him: "Do you mind?"
"It's not that I mind." Chen Mo said bluntly: "Not to mention that you just returned to China, and now there is UA eyeing you covetously. And R2D is the hard work of the entire R&D department of Xinrui, and the second phase experiment is the core key project for the next six months. It has always been regarded as a thorn in the eye of Chuanxing Technology. At this time, it is not a wise move to give someone a handle."
Chen Mo's kneecaps felt a little cold.
If you apply a very hot towel to the affected area for too long, it will quickly turn red and be a little painful.
Just as Chen Mo started to frown, the towel was taken away by Xi Siyan again.
He put it back into the hot water, took it out and wrung it out, saying, "Lunard can't make any waves."
"What do you mean?" Chen Mo simply didn't resist this time. He leaned back on the sofa and allowed Xi Siyan to lift his knees and put them on his legs again.
Xi Siyan put the towel on his arm to test the temperature, then put it on his leg and said, "Even though he has Chuanxing Technology as a spy, he takes the domestic market too lightly. Lunar is quite conceited. He has put people like Ren Xiansen in China, whose methods are not up to par. According to the latest information I have received, UA's current liquidity can no longer support internal operations. He is expanding the market more to save himself, but saving himself may be another way to commit suicide."
Chen Mo thought about it for a moment, "What about Yang Shule?"
"They can use each other more." Xi Siyan said calmly: "Yang Shule wants to use Lunar to get Yang's shares, and Lunar needs to use the Yang's turmoil as a breakthrough in the domestic market."
Chen Mo's eyes were cold, and his voice was filled with ice. "He should never, ever, be the first to attack the old man."
"You want to help Yang Zhi?" Xi Siyan frowned.
Chen Mo looked at him, not sure whether he was mocking him or not: "I'm not helping him."
He just didn't expect that after a whole lifetime of separation, the same mistake would be repeated, and the battle for Yang's equity would finally begin.
The only difference is probably the stance.
Because of his grandfather, he couldn't stand by and watch. He was familiar with the internal structure and business philosophy of the Yang family, and knew what Yang Zhi was good at and where he was weak. Whether it was a hostile relationship or an alliance, at least this time, he was not his primary enemy.
Xi Siyan didn't tell him not to interfere, nor did he tell him how to interfere.
On this matter, he knew why Chen Mo insisted.
This time Chen Mo let him stay overnight.
"I'll get you a set of pajamas that you haven't worn yet. There's a quilt in the closet in the guest room, and new towels and toothbrushes under the sink. Please feel free to use them." Seeing Xi Siyan coming in so casually, Chen Mo didn't worry about him being restrained. He gave him a few instructions, took a shower, and went back to his room to sleep.
He thought he would fall asleep soon.
But it didn’t.
He heard Xi Siyan's footsteps in slippers as he walked through the living room, the sound of water as he washed up in the bathroom, and he heard him speaking fluent English in a video conference with someone late at night that lasted for half an hour.
Then I heard him go next door.
Chen Mo unconsciously thought of the time when he rented a house outside No. 1 Middle School.
It was the same, during those days that were neither long nor short, they always had nothing to do with each other at night, yet were clearly aware of each other's existence.
This gave Chen Mo the illusion that time had stopped.
Until the lights next door were turned off and everything became completely quiet.
It’s a pity that Chen Mo suffered from insomnia.
Perhaps it was because the accident happened to the old man so suddenly that he was already very tired and tossed and turned in bed until two in the morning without any desire to sleep.
Chen Mo finally decided to get up and take two sleeping pills.
When the doctor prescribed the medicine for him, he told him to eat as little as possible.
He basically didn't take the medicine unless he had no other choice, but since the start of the R2D project, he increased his dosage from one tablet to two tablets in the past six months.
Chen Mo got up quietly, walked out of the living room in slippers, and did not turn on the lights.
With the moonlight coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, I groped my way to the open partition table in the dark and boiled a pot of water for myself.
While waiting, I leaned on the table and looked out the window, distracted.
When he heard the sound of a door opening behind him, he subconsciously turned his head.
I saw Xi Siyan coming out.
"Did I wake you up?" Chen Mo asked.
Xi Siyan was wearing his dark-colored nightgown, which was one size too large, and did not answer immediately.
Chen Mo felt that he was a little strange, not only because he ignored him, but more because of his eyes at the moment. It was too heavy and too deep. Even across the entire living room, Chen Mo could feel the restraint of that gaze, as if he was being tightly captured.
Chen Mo thought something happened at his company, so he turned around and frowned, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"No." When Xi Siyan stepped through the shadow, it seemed that it was all Chen Mo's illusion. He walked over and said, "I'm a light sleeper. I got up to check when I heard any noise. Are you thirsty?"
Xi Siyan asked this when he saw him boiling water.
It was normal until he saw the small medicine bottle that Chen Mo placed next to the table.
Chen Mo didn't know what was going on with him tonight.
When Chen Mo saw the bottle of sleeping pills, his reaction was so big that he thought he was going to crush the plastic bottle in his hand.
But when he said this, he seemed to be trying hard to restrain himself and frowned: "Can't sleep?"
"Yeah." Chen Mo admitted, "I'm a little insomniac. I still have things to deal with at the company tomorrow, and I have to go to the hospital. It's not realistic to stay up all night like this."
Then Xi Siyan turned off the water for him, walked over and held Chen Mo's hand.
Chen Mo was taken all the way back to the bedroom by him.
He was pushed onto the bed, and before he could resist in shock, Xi Siyan pulled the quilt over him, then lay on top of him and lifted his legs to hold him down.
"Sleep." Xi Siyan said, "I'm watching you sleep now."
Chen Mo was pressed to the point of being unable to move. He looked at the person next to him and said, "Boss Xi, don't tell me you are serious?"
"Um."
Chen Mo was speechless: "Let me press you down, see if you can fall asleep?"
Xi Siyan loosened his grip slightly and said, "Then why don't you try?"
Chen Mo: "...You are awesome."
He gave up.
It's the kind of mentality that love can be whatever it wants.
I don't know how Xi Siyan trained in the past few years. He didn't feel it when he was wearing clothes, but now he was only wearing a thin nightgown. The muscles on his chest and thighs were faintly visible, and the suppression force was so great that Chen Mo felt it was difficult to breathe.
Even with the quilt between them, it was impossible to ignore the fact that the two were very close.
Chen Mo smelled the scent of the shower gel he bought on him, and felt awkward after realizing it. He turned his head slightly to the other side and reminded him, "I remember I just took him in out of kindness. You're repaying kindness with enmity."
"Really?" Xi Siyan's voice was just above his ear, and he seemed to look down at him, "Then you can take revenge."
"How to report?" Chen Mo turned back.
Xi Siyan looked at him in bed late at night with only moonlight, and said in a hoarse and restrained voice: "Get back together with me."
These four short words came out of his mouth.
To each other, the accident didn't seem to be a surprise.
Chen Mo was stunned for a few seconds before he sneered and said, "What kind of revenge is this? I'm giving you a legitimate reason to suppress me like this every day?"
"Chen Mo." Xi Siyan seemed to lose his temper all of a sudden. He leaned over his neck and chuckled twice, then whispered in his ear, "If you really agree, do you think I can really keep suppressing you like this every day and do nothing?"
Chen Mo's face turned red with embarrassment, and he punched her with his crutch, gritting his teeth and saying, "Shut up, I won't get back together."
"How heartless." Xi Siyan sighed as he tied him up, but it seemed like he was just saying it casually. He patted him and said, "Go to sleep. Throw away your medicine for me tomorrow. If I see it again, I will change the way you sleep."
Chen Mo: “…”
His fingertips felt numb, and what was even more weird was that he actually understood the threatening words.
To be honest, Chen Mo can no longer figure out what the current relationship between him and Xi Siyan is.
Those who seek peace do not sound like seeking peace, and those who refuse do not sound like refusing.
When I think about their current relationship, if it were to be reported in the news, it would probably be: The ex-boyfriend and the ex-boyfriend having an affair without mediation, is it a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?
Chen Mo was speechless at his own idea.
Later, he actually fell asleep in this position which he thought was uncomfortable, so he didn't notice that after he fell asleep, Xi Siyan stared at him for a long time.
Finally, she whispered in his ear: "I feel more and more that it was not a precognitive dream. Precognitive dreams may be able to predict the ending, but they cannot predict the past, right?"
Sleeping pills aren't the point.
The point is that he had a light sleep tonight, and the dead Chen Mo in his dream was a sickly man when he was alive.
Painkillers, sleeping pills, and even psychiatric drugs.
When the police were wearing gloves and checking the house, they took away everything as evidence and said, "According to the information provided by his brother Yang Shule, Chen Mo was irritable and easily angered. During his tenure as general manager of Yang Corporation, his demands were extremely harsh and unreasonable. It is possible that he offended someone in the workplace and was assassinated..."
In fact, Chen Mo had severed ties with the Yang family long ago.
Today's newcomers are not only the leaders in the field of smart technology, but what Xi Siyan has no doubt about the most is that the future of this field will definitely be born from people like him.
He has never worked for the Yang Group.
Xi Siyan had also seen him interact with his subordinates. Strictness was the rule, while harshness was complete nonsense.
So, what was he dreaming about?
What role did he play in this? As a result, every time he woke up, he could not stand any overlapping details in reality.
Chen Mo didn't understand Xi Siyan's motive for reacting so strongly.
Even when he woke up early the next morning, he found that he had turned off his alarm clock and there was less than half an hour left before work.
"I find it hard to believe that as a company boss, you can tolerate my own lack of punctuality." Chen Mo quickly went to the bathroom to wash up, and calmly complained to the person pouring milk in the kitchen: "I remember that you hated people who were not punctual in high school the most. During the tutoring period, if I dared to be ten minutes late, there must be ten extra training papers waiting for me."
Xi Siyan brought breakfast to the table and said, "I remember that you liked to sleep in a lot back then. I'm surprised that you have such a strong sense of time now."
Chen Mo, holding a toothbrush in his mouth, came out of the bathroom and sneered, "Because you are a capitalist now, and I am more willing to be an ordinary leader. I can even say that I haven't graduated yet and am still a student."
Xi Siyan gestured to him, "Okay, you have the final say, you can have breakfast."
Ten minutes later, Chen Mo picked up his briefcase and walked out the door in formal attire.
Just opened the door.
"Huh!"
"ah!"
Chen Mo frowned and looked at Yuan Hao who was also startled, surprised: "Why are you here?"
"Master." Yuan Hao was still holding his phone and answering a call. When he saw him, he smiled and picked up the file bag in his hand: "I heard that you asked for leave yesterday. This morning, my boss asked me to bring you these documents that need to be signed."
Lao K’s voice came loudly from the cell phone that was on loudspeaker mode.
"Yuan Hao, you saw Chen Mo, right? I'll give you half a day off today, so you can just stay there and watch over your master. He's a troublesome guy, so he must have insomnia and stayed up late. Every time he does this, he'll definitely have a low-grade fever the next day."
Yuan Haogang replied: "I know..."
The rest of the words were choked back.
Because a tall and familiar-looking man appeared behind his master.
The man ignored him, frowned and touched Chen Mo's forehead from behind: "Low fever?"
"No." His master slapped the hand away angrily, "I slept very well last night."
Old K was still shouting on the phone: "Yuan Hao? Yuan Hao?! What's going on? Who was talking just now?"
Yuan Hao looked up, met the gaze of CM's boss, and shrank his neck.
I always feel chilly.
He had a feeling that if he dared to reveal even a word about this, not only would his relationship with his master be ruined, he might even lose his job...
