Chapter 89
The various sounds that did not belong to his memory caused the damage of the aftermath of the explosion to reach the top. Xi Siyan not only could not hear what the people around him were saying, he even began to doubt whether he had nerve damage. Until he felt the person below struggling to stand up, and in turn supporting his hand, the strength was getting stronger and stronger.
Xi Siyan shook his head vigorously, grabbed Chen Mo's wrist with his backhand, squeezed it, and said hoarsely: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Everything I say is like the volume button is turned off.
Fortunately, Chen Mo should have heard it, and the anxiety in his eyes eased a little.
Soon, people gathered from all directions.
Their mouths opened and closed, and they kept talking.
"How are you, sir?"
"Are you okay?"
"Someone from the hospital is coming soon!"
Xi Siyan had a splitting headache, and he immediately checked Chen Mo's injury. The huge amount of fragmented information could not be connected, so he could not spare the extra energy to respond to other things.
He just held Chen Mo's hand tightly and didn't let go.
Because before everything was figured out, he only knew that the information overlapped with one important point in his previous dreams, which was that Chen Mo was dead.
At the bottom of an abandoned building, he died instantly.
Chen Mo didn't know what kind of storm Xi Siyan was going through in his heart. He only knew that in his eyes, Xi Siyan was in a bad situation at the moment.
His arms and body were all stained with black ash. His palms and elbows were rubbed hard on the ground to protect himself, and the blood mixed with sand and gravel was all over his body. His hearing was completely lost under the impact. The worst part was his back, which was burned by the scorching heat. Under the charred clothes, large areas of burned skin and flesh were exposed, which was shocking.
Fortunately, the fire department had opened the emergency exit and rushed to the scene to put out the fire as soon as possible.
Xi Siyan finally refused to use emergency medical treatment.
He and Chen Mo disappeared silently in the chaotic scene.
The serious chain car accident on Jinlu Bridge in Suicheng soon made the local news.
Some of the tragic scene pictures even need to be censored before they can be posted.
Especially the car that caught fire and exploded, it made people have difficulty breathing every minute.
【Fortunately, everyone was rescued. It was a close call.】
[The passers-by were so brave, they didn't give up until the last moment. I don't dare to think what would have happened if no one had rushed forward.]
[It's been several hours, is there any follow-up at the scene? I think the people who were closest to the explosion at the time should have been injured.]
The leaked video of the explosion at the scene ended with Xi Siyan and Chen Mo.
However, due to the distance and the fact that it was getting dark, it was difficult to see clearly.
It was just that the picture of them covering each other and running out of the flames of the explosion was captured by someone and quickly became a hot topic.
The entries are all about ordinary heroes.
For this kind of things, there are basically reporters following up to interview, such as recounting what happened at the scene, or cooperating to talk about the experience of being brave and righteous, etc.
But no news from the outside world came.
On the contrary, the causes of the chain car accidents and the number of casualties were all investigated clearly in a very short period of time, and the process was clear at a glance. There was none of the confusion, unclear explanations, and ambiguity that had occurred in the past when such incidents occurred.
Very clean and quick process.
There was no other special focus, which led to the fact that the scene picture was still being mentioned until dark.
[Several people nearby have been interviewed, but why are these two not here? Did the reporter fail to find them? ]
[To be honest, I always feel that it looks a little familiar. ]
[Maybe they didn’t want to be exposed. I was at the scene at the time. They didn’t even get in the ambulance. They were taken away directly. From their clothes, I could guess they were not ordinary people.]
[He didn't get in the ambulance. I think he was seriously injured. He should be okay, right?]
The Xi family’s old house.
The old house is a modern Chinese-style villa with a courtyard decorated with carved railings and painted buildings and an exquisite design.
Xi Siyan's residence is on the second floor in the backyard.
This is Chen Mo’s first time here too.
Standing outside with him were many members of the Xi family. In addition to the old man, his parents, and his uncle, there were many young people whom Chen Mo had never seen before. Chen Mo also saw Xi Siyan's second uncle, Xi Jianxing. Compared to five years ago, he was thinner and more mature, and less carefree. He stood with Han Gan.
No one knew when Han Gan slipped over.
When he squeezed next to Chen Mo, he nudged his elbow and whispered, "You two are really amazing. You just happened to run into something like this. This is the first time I've seen a way of meeting an elder like this. I haven't seen the Xi family so well-groomed for many years."
Chen Mo glanced at him and said nothing.
"The Xi family's medical resources are top-notch, don't worry." Han Gan looked at the closed door and consoled, "There's no need to mobilize so many troops for his level of injury, but he's the successor of the Xi family after all."
Chen Mo was leaning against the pillar of the corridor, and he did not fail to notice the gazes coming from all directions.
Even some of the younger generation couldn't help but grumble.
"That's Brother Yan's boyfriend?"
"Really? Didn't you see that Brother Yan held onto him the whole time? They only separated after they gave him anesthesia."
"It's been five years since we broke up, but it turns out he's still the one."
"After all, they were dating in high school. And didn't you see the wound on his leg just now? He didn't even blink when he put medicine on such a big wound, and he stood here with us for such a long time with a blank expression. I always feel that he is not easy to mess with."
"The old man hasn't said anything yet, so it's not our turn to discuss. Just shut up."
Han Gan tilted his head again and said to Chen Mo, "Do you want to sit down and rest for a while?"
"No need." Chen Mo said.
Chen Mo chatted with Han Gan in a casual manner.
In fact, my mind is all in the room.
From the moment he saw the wound on Xi Siyan's back, he was a little confused. After all, he remembered that he was the one who threw himself down at the last moment. It was a completely subconscious reaction. In the face of life and death, it was instinct.
I don’t know how much time passed until the sound of the door opening broke the atmosphere.
The two doctors wearing gloves came out and said to the old man, "The wounds have been cleaned and bandaged. Mr. Xi is young and in good health. There is no big problem. He will be fine after resting for a while."
"Then can we go in now?" Xi Siyan's mother Jiang Jing asked hurriedly.
The doctor was in a dilemma for a moment. "The anesthetic has just worn off, and the explosion caused him to have a severe headache. For now, we should keep it quiet. It is not advisable for too many people to enter to prevent the wound from getting infected."
Chen Mo frowned: "Is there any way to relieve the headache?"
The doctor said, "I used painkillers, but I don't know why the effect was so minimal."
Chen Mo stepped forward, "I'll go in and take a look."
The doctor looked over and stopped him: "Tomorrow, Mr. Chen. Mr. Xi said he won't see anyone for the time being."
Han Gan was stunned: "Chen Mo is not here either? That shouldn't be the case."
"Yes, including Mr. Chen."
Some people around immediately looked at Chen Mo.
Jiang Jing looked around, turned to Chen Mo, and smiled gently: "Since there is no big problem, there is no need to rush. You two have been exhausted. I will ask the kitchen to prepare some food. You can all have a good rest tonight."
Old Master Xi leaned on his cane with both hands, and in front of so many people, he finally said, "Then don't go in. Clean up the room next to him, and let him stay at home for the time being. There's no rush for work."
No matter what other people's expressions are or what they are thinking.
Chen Mo was silent for two seconds and nodded: "Okay."
That night, after everyone left.
There was total silence around the small building where Xi Siyan lived.
At twelve o'clock midnight, Chen Mo quietly pushed open Xi Siyan's door.
There was no light on in the room.
Fortunately, the moonlight outside the window was enough for Chen Mo to see the surrounding situation clearly.
The room was very large, and the sleeping area could only be seen after turning a left corner. Chen Mo walked forward a few steps and saw a person lying face down on the dark bedding. His naked upper body was wrapped in bandages, and his shoulder blade muscles were slightly tense, so his face could not be seen clearly.
Chen Mo walked over, sat beside the bed, and reached out to touch his upper arm.
The person who had his eyes closed suddenly opened them. Even with only the faint light from the window, it was enough for Chen Mo to see the shocking red bloodshot in his eyes.
"Is your headache getting worse?" Chen Mo's heart sank. He immediately tried to help the man up. "I'll go call a doctor."
"No need." Xi Siyan pulled the man down vaguely and pressed on him without caring anything.
A familiar breath instantly came over him, and Xi Siyan barely managed to regain a bit of sanity from the chaos.
He thought, this was the living, real Chen Mo.
If the explosion caused many conversations that did not belong to him to appear in his mind, then the process of anesthetic debridement was like he was experiencing "his own life" again.
There is a natural gap between the chosen one of heaven and the young man who was left behind by a wealthy family and grew up struggling in the mud.
During the student days when it seemed like we had no interaction at all, when did I start to notice Chen Mo?
Maybe it was the speed at which he ran like the wind during physical education class, the shadow of him applying medicine alone in the classroom with scars left after fighting with those who caused trouble for him, and the appearance of him being the last one to leave the classroom and the first one to arrive in the morning, always with his silent presence.
As the monitor of the class, he privately warned those who troubled him, paid attention to his every move, and took the initiative to talk to him and ask about his affairs. Everything seemed reasonable, so reasonable that he gave up on recognizing himself and confessing until the college entrance examination was over.
It was a fork in the road, leading the two people, who were already very different, to far away.
Many years later, the concern of youth becomes reality.
One is entangled in family affairs, and the other is standing on a bottomless abyss, both are equally dazzling.
The other son of the Yang family blatantly demanded favoritism on the project, which became particularly glaring. The drunk man at the table no longer looked young. When I sent him home that day, he thought it was a new beginning.
Little did they know that it foreshadowed some already predetermined ending.
In that ending, there were large areas of glaring red.
Some people suddenly ended.
Leaving behind a pile of ashes, the sunset at the bottom of the building that day was stretched very long, as long as a lifetime. The Xi family had been striving for the throne for many years, but the person standing there was still alone.
Although he had not experienced it himself, the regret that would last for the rest of his life, like an endless torture, had precisely penetrated into Xi Siyan's body.
He urgently needs a proof.
It proves that Chen Mo is alive, and this life is not a dream that he is unwilling to wake up from due to regrets at the end of his life.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to see me? Are you feeling better?" The voice of Chen Mo whispering in the dark night was real.
The touch and temperature of the skin were real. Xi Siyan hugged the man tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Yeah, much better. It was just a nightmare."
Chen Mo touched the bandage on Xi Siyan's upper body and did not ask any more questions. They embraced each other in the dark. Xi Siyan was injured on his back. After bringing him to the bed, he could only hold him under his arms and carefully avoid his injured foot.
Chen Mo naturally accommodated his sleeping position.
She leaned against him quietly and relaxedly on his chest, while at the same time grabbing Xi Siyan's hair again and again until he completely relaxed his muscles and his breathing became steady.
The night passed quietly.
It's dawn.
Early in the morning, in the Xi family's old house.
Several younger members of the Xi family were playing cards in Xi Siyan's yard.
They are all old enough to be in junior high and high school, and with the old man's instruction, they bring some liveliness to the yard that has not been visited for several years.
Then a few people were fighting excitedly, and suddenly there was a bang.
The door on the second floor was suddenly opened with great force.
Mr. Xi, who is now the boss of CM and manages countless people, came out wearing a coat that you could clearly see the white bandage underneath, and his face looked like a storm was coming.
The people below were trembling with fear, feeling confused.
Looking up: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Xi Siyan glanced over, frowning, "Where are the others?"
"Who is it?" someone asked subconsciously.
After asking, I found that Mr. Xi's face looked even uglier.
Until the critical moment, someone walked in at the gate of the courtyard.
Chen Mo held a notebook in his hand and looked up at the person upstairs in surprise: "Why did you get up?"
The other people downstairs also reacted immediately and said to Xi Siyan: "Brother, so you are looking for Brother Mo?"
"Say it earlier, he got up early."
"Didn't you two stay separately last night? Brother Mo wasn't in your room in the first place."
After talking so much, there was no response.
Because Xi Siyan looked at the person standing there, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt that some of his premonitions didn't even need to be verified.
Chen Mo's departure from the Yang family doesn't mean that he never cares about family ties.
His sudden change of attitude doesn't mean he is open-minded.
From another perspective, all the abnormalities began, and there were clues starting from that Internet cafe when I was seventeen years old.
If Chen Mo is not Chen Mo.
But it was always Chen Mo.
Then everything has a reasonable explanation.
The people at the gate smiled at the morning light. No one knew what happened in the morning, but the boys and Chen Mo seemed to be very familiar with each other, much more comfortable than when they were alone with Xi Siyan, and the atmosphere turned around.
Joking: "Brother Mo, is Brother Yan in a bad mood when he wakes up?"
"I was wondering why Brother Han Gan has become more and more haggard since he went abroad. The sound of the door opening just now scared me so much that I almost threw away the good cards in my hand."
…
All the sounds of deliberate jokes became background noise.
Xi Siyan simply ignored other existences. This was the place where he grew up and he was familiar with every tree and blade of grass. But at this moment, he felt more painful than ever before, even though he had seen Chen Mo lying in a pool of blood countless times in his dreams.
Because this is not an illusion. Chen Mo, who is alive and has not disappeared, has probably really traveled a very long distance and completely broken himself down and reassembled himself before he can stand there well.
The mere thought of this possible fact almost pierced Xi Siyan to death.
