Chapter 86
Just half an hour later, Xi Siyan appeared at the end of the corridor.
He seemed to have guessed that something was wrong with Chen Mo, so he strode over, looked at the door of the intensive care unit, then looked at Chen Mo, frowned and asked: "What's wrong? Did the doctor say something?"
"No." Chen Mo put his hands in his pockets and shook his head. "I just realized something when I brought Yang Shule here just now."
"What?" Xi Siyan asked softly.
Chen Mo pressed his brows and looked up at him. "In fact, my grandfather and I have discussed this issue more than once in the past few years. He said that if one day his health fails, he doesn't need forced treatment, and he doesn't want to suffer that pain. He said that he knows his children best, and asked me to stand up and speak for him at the critical moment. The day he went to the hospital, I had a premonition, and I felt that I could accept any consequences. But until these days, doctors at home and abroad made a diagnosis and asked the family to discuss whether to remove the tube, I realized that some decisions are actually very difficult."
Could it be that he felt that compared to the life before the age of seventeen, he was even less willing to look back on it?
Xi Siyan was silent for a few seconds.
Finally, she reached out and pulled him in, wrapping Chen Mo in a cool aura.
"It's okay, grandpa won't blame you." Xi Siyan scratched the back of his neck and said.
Chen Mo closed his eyes calmly.
The old man’s passing in the previous life was too sudden. That was also the only time Chen Mo experienced the passing of a loved one.
Even though his relationship was shallow and his closeness to the old man was far less than in this life, Chen Mo could still feel the regret and pain of realizing it belatedly a few years later.
So he went against the old man's wishes and contacted many doctors at home and abroad, but never told anyone the final diagnosis results.
It was like a trial.
He knew that once the gavel fell, there would be no turning back.
It seemed that as long as he knew the old man was still lying there, he would suddenly wake up one day and say to him, "Xiao Mo, why didn't you come back for dinner these days? Don't just be busy all day, live a good life."
Those instructions and trivialities in ordinary days are Chen Mo's ultimate understanding and belonging to kinship in this life.
It was the most luxurious thing he gained by living his life again.
So he hoped that the days would go slower, time would be longer, and the farewell could come later.
Until just now.
If he still had a trace of hesitation before Xi Siyan came back, then the moment he picked him up, Chen Mo felt that the time was right.
Chen Mo stepped back slightly and said to Xi Siyan, "I suddenly realized that human desires are endless. Reluctance is actually more of a self-escape. But before calling the Yang family, I want you to accompany me to see Grandpa."
Xi Siyan reached out and held Chen Mo's hand, nodding: "Okay."
Everything was peaceful that day.
Chen Mo stood in front of the old man's bed and frankly told him that they were back together.
And I said in my heart: Grandpa, I still choose to be with this person.
If I think back to the time when we passed each other in the previous life, I feel regretful.
He couldn't guarantee whether he would feel pain when he thought about the missed opportunities in this life one day in the future.
If life is destined to lose.
At least for now and in the future, he doesn't want to lose such a person.
Xi Siyan came out of the ICU later than Chen Mo.
Chen Mo guessed that he should have something to say to the old man, but Chen Mo did not ask.
Chen Mo himself was still sick, but his fever had subsided.
Xi Siyan accompanied him back to the ward.
It was afternoon, and on the way back they had to pass through the garden below the inpatient department. Xi Siyan tightened his coat around his shoulders and said, "The weather is getting cold, so you should wear more clothes when you go out."
"Not bad." Chen Mo looked at the sun in the west which had not yet set, "I don't think it's that cold this year."
Chen Mo was standing side by side with him, and only then did he ask him, "Did I bother you?"
"No." Xi Siyan leaned over to block the wind for him. "Ren Xiansen ran away. His involvement is the least serious in the whole incident. He is very good at taking advantage of loopholes. Even if he knew about it, he didn't have any key evidence linking himself to the arson and murder. Now he can hide in any corner and the police can't do anything to him."
Chen Mo said: "Just be careful. Without the source of funds, he can't make much trouble with Chuanxing. Now that Lunard has been arrested, this great help has lost its competitiveness. Now is a good time for CM to expand."
Xi Siyan stopped.
Chen Mo stopped and looked over in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Chen Mo asked.
Xi Siyan's eyes swept across his face, "Is this what you want to say?"
Chen Mo was puzzled: "What else?"
Xi Siyan seemed a little helpless, "Mr. Chen, you know I'm not just your partner, I'm also your boyfriend."
"I know." Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.
Xi Siyan: "As your boyfriend, you should know that my duty to you has never been to determine how far the company can develop or how many competitors it has. You can fully rely on and trust me. And you don't have to ask me if I have delayed anything when you feel it is difficult to make a decision."
Xi Siyan in front of him had been running around for a whole day and night, and he didn't look that embarrassed at all.
But Chen Mo could still clearly see the faint fatigue and darkness in his eyes. Under such circumstances, Chen Mo felt mixed emotions when he heard these words.
He took a step forward, straightened his collar, and responded to his address, calling out in a low voice: "Mr. Xi."
"What are you doing?" Xi Siyan lowered his eyes and supported his waist.
Chen Mo's eyes moved back and forth, and he leaned very close to her and said, "This is also my first time being someone's boyfriend. I'm used to being alone. Can you bear with me?"
Xi Siyan chuckled: "Are you trying to deny what we did together five years ago?"
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "Okay, second time."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "Mr. Chen?"
Chen Mo and Xi Siyan turned their heads at the same time.
Then Chen Mo discovered that all the colleagues in Xinrui’s entire technical R&D department were standing there on the stone path.
There was surprise, surprise and curiosity in his eyes.
After all, in the eyes of his colleagues, Mr. Chen is a young technical tycoon who is surrounded by no men or women when he is immersed in research. He is a natural leader who is decisive when making project decisions. He is also the typical young representative of random health preservation who is often unhurried and carries a thermos cup in his hand when he is outside the workplace.
At least, no one had ever seen him get so close to anyone.
From their perspective, the two of them were almost kissing and talking, and it was obvious that their relationship was not simple.
But no one made this doubt public.
"Brother Mo!"
"Boss!"
A group of people came over.
Chen Mo was only briefly surprised, took a step back, smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
Yuan Hao was the first one to squeeze next to Chen Mo. He didn't know if he was trying to cover up for him or what, but his voice was a little loud, "Master, you are trying to scare us to death. I wanted to come as soon as I knew your house was on fire, but the boss wouldn't let me, saying that I couldn't visit, so I came so late."
Others echoed: "Yeah, what do you think of me, brother Mo?"
"Are you hurt?"
"It's okay. I was already in the hospital when the fire started. I had a fever." Chen Mo put his hands in his pockets and looked around at everyone: "I told Lao K not to come. It's not a big deal."
Seeing that Chen Mo was fine, except that his face looked a little pale and the hospital gown he wore under his coat was a little empty, there was indeed no other major problem, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Old K walked forward from the end of the path. He should have gone to park the car and was the last one to come over.
The first person who noticed it was the person next to Chen Mo.
"Boss Xi." Old K showed a little surprise: "Chen Mo said that you brought him to the hospital. You haven't been in the hospital for such a long time, have you?"
Xi Siyan calmly signaled the bodyguards who had been on guard around to retreat, and denied, "No, I left the hospital halfway to take care of something, and I just got here."
Old K had no doubts.
Yuan Hao covered his mouth and whispered to Chen Mo: "Master, your relationship with President Xi can no longer be concealed. Someone in our department has seen President Xi."
Chen Mo looked at some people who recognized who was attending the banquet, some were confused, some were nervous and curious, raised his eyebrows, and said to Yuan Hao: "Take them out for a meal later, and let... President Xi pay for it."
Yuan Hao was stunned: "Ah?"
Chen Mo said calmly: "There is no difference between him treating me and me treating me."
An hour later, all the people who had squeezed into Chen Mo's ward were taken out by Yuan Hao.
Flowers, gifts, and fruits were all piled at the head of the bed.
Xi Siyan and Chen Mo sat on the sofa, and Xi Siyan said to him, "I thought you were going to keep it a secret."
"At most, they would discuss it in private, but they wouldn't ask directly. Although there's really nothing to hide." Chen Mo peeled a banana and said casually, "I just think that Xinrui and CM have indirect cooperation, without any personal relationship involved, and in many cases, it's more pure and simple to deal with problems. But it doesn't matter if you know it, unless you want to hide it?"
Chen Mo said as he fed the peeled banana to Xi Siyan.
Xi Siyan lowered his head and took a bite, motioning for him to eat it himself, "Do you think I care about this?"
Chen Mo didn't feel like eating either, so he put it aside and patted his legs, "Then you should take a nap. You haven't rested for a long time. Even if you are in good health, you won't be able to endure it if you don't sleep."
Xi Siyan nodded, took off his coat and threw it next to the sofa, then lay down.
The ward fell into silence again. Chen Mo was thinking about something and stroking Xi Siyan's hair from time to time.
His hair was hard and pricked his palms.
Xi Siyan slept for about half an hour when he received a long voice message from Lao K on his phone.
Chen Mo was distracted and clicked it subconsciously.
The other party didn't know Xi Siyan was still there, and suddenly a very clear voice rang out: "I just went to the bathroom, guess what I heard? Why are several people in your R&D department talking about you and CM boss? Does Xi Siyan like you? Is he gay?"
The second paragraph of the automatic playback: "I have been puzzled several times before. You said that he is the boss of a large group and the heir of the Xi family in Suicheng. Even if you two are old classmates, your relationship is not that good. What is he doing? Is he just playing around? Chen Mo, I don't know what kind of personality Xi Siyan has, but with his status and position, he is surrounded by men and women. Haven't we seen enough of them in this industry for so long? Don't let me, even if I team up with new talents, be unable to save you and let you gnaw all your bones."
The sky outside was getting a little dark.
Xi Siyan didn't know when he opened his eyes.
He put his hand on his forehead and asked, "He was the one who gave you money to help me in high school, right?"
Chen Mo looked down at him, and without asking him why he knew about this, he said, "Old K likes to do things according to procedures, and he is more or less radical towards rich people."
Xi Siyan put down his hand, "Does he think I'm just playing around?"
Chen Mo laughed: "How many men and women are there around Mr. Xi?"
The next second, Xi Siyan grabbed Chen Mo's neck and pressed him down.
He pressed his lips against hers: "There are many men and women, but you are the only one who wants it."
Chen Mo dropped his phone, held Xi Siyan's face, and deepened the kiss.
Soon, at the door of the toilet of a Cantonese restaurant not far from the hospital.
Old K, who was holding his mobile phone, received a picture.
It was a casual shot taken facing the glass window of the ward. The outline of the reflected figure could be clearly seen as a person in a hospital gown, pressing a tall man on the sofa, as if forcing himself on him.
There is another sentence that shows his lazy and arrogant look when typing: "I didn't tell you for so many years. I knew I was gay in high school. Oh, we were dating at that time, and I was the one who broke up."
Old K was dumbfounded. The image of Chen Mo, the young genius who appeared in front of him before the age of 18 that summer, collapsed. Even the image of the stable core link of the new rising star was no longer secure.
Trembling reply: "Fuck, are you still the one on top?"
