When Bai Xiuxiu left the bedroom, Athena asked with a frown, "Why did your commander sneak into our bedroom invisibly?"

The temperature in the room had dropped to freezing point due to the broken window, but Cheng Mo was breaking out in a cold sweat. Bai Xiuxiu didn't follow martial arts ethics and came here with a sneak attack. It was impossible for him to push his fine oriental tradition. Still saying that.

, inevitably reminds people of China’s tradition of superiors making unspoken rules for subordinates.

Of course, Cheng Mo himself did not want to fight anymore and had always longed to be unspoken by Sister Bai. But if he really dared to say this, Athena might make bold statements and cut off Bai Xiuxiu's head.

Cheng Mo shivered in the cold wind, thinking of a certain bloody campus drama actor who was hit with a hatchet.

In short, Bai Xiuxiu's behavior must be rationalized.

Cheng Mo thought to himself and explained with a wry smile: "Our Tai Chi Dragon is completely different from the looser organizations like Ou Yu or the Black Death. The system is strict and the disciplines are strict. And I have not been in contact with the organization for almost three years. I am afraid of being in Paris."

During the attack, I did a lot of things that violated Tai Chi Dragon's discipline. Even though I made some achievements, I was still not sure what I would face when I came back. So I didn't report to the organization when I returned home this time.

I sent an email to Sister Bai first." After a pause, he considered his words and said softly, "Sister Bai has always been my boss, and she also knows my father and master. She has always taken good care of me.

I just want to understand the organization's attitude towards me from Sister Bai first, and then decide what to do. In this case, it's a good thing that Sister Bai used the stealth skill to come in. It means that she came to me privately and has not sent me back to China.

Report the matter to the superiors”

Athena did not doubt Cheng Mo's statement at all. In addition, she had never had any concept of beauty or ugliness. Moreover, Cheng Mo expressed that Bai Xiuxiu was an elder in and out of her words. Naturally, she did not feel that a beautiful female boss had sneaked in.

There was something wrong with the subordinate's bedroom. So Athena said calmly: "Forget it this time, but you have to tell her not to do this next time. The bedroom is my territory, even if she is your boss, without my permission

, you can’t come in either.”

"Territory?" Cheng Mo thought to himself that Athena's territorial awareness was really strong, but he said cautiously: "Okay, I will tell her."

Athena nodded.

Seeing that Athena did not ask any questions about her relationship with Bai Xiuxiu, nor did she have any jealous emotions, Cheng Mo relaxed a little and said softly: "Then you go to the living room and rest for a while. I will go to the reception room to meet Sister Bai."

talk"

Athena said "Okay" first, and when Cheng Mo was about to turn around, she suddenly asked as if she remembered something: "What does foreign devil mean?"

"Ah~~~foreign devils." Cheng Mo's heart tightened, "Where's 'foreign'! It means 'ocean', and the word 'jail' comes from the ancient book "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", which refers to 'hell'.

Generally speaking, we Chinese use the word 'foreign devil' to refer to white people, because Europe and the United States have a history of invading China in modern times, so the word 'foreign devil' means 'devil from across the ocean.'"

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Cheng Mo's explanation, but he uses the art of language to downplay the contempt and racial discrimination, and emphasizes the "sense of fear", which immediately makes people feel that the word "foreign devil" is not that bad, unlike "Brother Ni"

"That's all condescending contempt.

Sure enough, after listening to Cheng Mo's explanation, Athena had no ill feelings towards the word "foreign devil" at all. Instead, she said, "There's nothing wrong with calling me a devil."

Cheng Mo immediately threw out the joke that had been brewing for a long time, smiled and said: "Yes, you have an angel face and a devil figure. There is nothing wrong with saying you are a devil."

Athena was not at all happy about being praised. She just sighed: "Only Chinese can use 'devil' to describe the body. However, the ancient Chinese literature that you mentioned yesterday is much more elegant."

Cheng Mo smiled and said nothing.

Athena didn't notice the ambiguous smile on Cheng Mo's face. She turned around and sat on the chair by the window, picked up her woolen coat and put it on her body, "Go ahead!"

Cheng Mo said "Okay" and silently wiped the sweat from his forehead when he walked out of the room, thinking: "Sure enough, it is right to read more books."

(BGM——"One Night in Beijing" Wu Yi)

When she walked into the reception room, Bai Xiuxiu was sitting on the Chinese-style woodcarving sofa in the middle, drinking tea. Behind her was a cursive calligraphy of dragons and snakes. There was a white jade vase on the huanghuali coffee table with a scissor inserted in it.

Pink and white camellia with branches and leaves.

Looking from Cheng Mo's perspective, Bai Xiuxiu's rich camellia is just inlaid on Bai Xiuxiu's slanted bun on the right side, like a hairpin attached to it. The light color is just right to decorate Bai Xiuxiu's hair.

Zhang Meiyan's face is a little too exaggerated. If it weren't for the close-fitting Tai Chi dragon uniform that added a lot of solemnity and solemnity, Cheng Mo really felt that Bai Xiuxiu was actually more Su Daji than Su Daji.

When Bai Xiuxiu and Athena were fighting just now, Cheng Mo didn't have time to fully appreciate the emotions of meeting again after a long separation. At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, and the scenes from the past were like pieces of colored paper in a kaleidoscope, spinning in each other's pupils.

Cheng Mo couldn't help but think of the light kiss Bai Xiuxiu left on his forehead when he said goodbye on the Seine River.

Bai Xiuxiu's face is still radiant, without any trace of time, as if those things happened yesterday.

In reality, years have passed since the incident, and he is no longer as youthful as before, but Bai Xiuxiu is still as charming and charming as ever.

For a moment, the two of them didn't speak, just looking at each other quietly. It wasn't until Cheng Mo's mind surged with waves of unknown origin that he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and walked to the coffee table like a

Like a child who made a mistake, he lowered his head and said, "Sister Bai, I'm sorry."

Such an opening statement obviously ruined the beautiful atmosphere of the reunion. Bai Xiuxiu elegantly put down the inconspicuous white porcelain tea cup in her hand, interrupted Cheng Mo's words, and said in a calm tone: "I'm sorry.

Yes, I disturbed your and Athena's enjoyment."

"No, although I have that kind of relationship with Athena, we haven't had that kind of relationship yet."

Bai Xiuxiu waved her hands and deliberately said with a cold expression: "Don't say such things to me. I am not you, and I have no right to care about who you have a relationship with."

Facing Bai Xiuxiu, Chengmo really didn't have any temper at all, and said in a low voice: "Sister Bai, can you let me explain?"

"There is no need to explain anything, and I don't dare to take it seriously. I just want to know what the prince's purpose is in writing me an email?"

Cheng Mo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Bai Xiuxiu say "Your Majesty the Prince Consort" in a nonchalant tone. He didn't know what Bai Xiuxiu thought of him. Cheng Mo was proficient in psychology and had never felt that "a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea", but

He really couldn't see through Bai Xiuxiu's thoughts. In his impression, Bai Xiuxiu kept a similar distance from everyone. She was indeed special to him, but not so special that he felt there was ambiguity between them.

If it weren't for the "goodnight kiss" before leaving in Paris, Cheng Mo really felt that Bai Xiuxiu just regarded herself as a junior with a promising future.

However, time has changed, no matter what kind of relationship they had in the past, now because of Athena and Gao Yuemei, they will definitely not be the same as before. Moreover, Bai Xiuxiu doesn't know about Gao Yuemei and him at the moment. When she knows,

Cheng Mo simply couldn't imagine how much he would hate him.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mo let out a long sigh, and the joy of meeting again after a long separation was gone. He said in a self-deprecating tone: "To be honest, I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to return to China. How many times, I thought that I would definitely quietly return home."

silent death

In a dark corner where no one knew, I turned into a pile of carrion nourishing maggots, but I still survived by chance. Just living is a punishment for me. I will never forget the moment when Xie Minyun died in front of my eyes.

, I watched helplessly

She was hit by the rod of God and turned into a ball of light, but she could do nothing. She could only be futilely angry and futilely regretful. For a period of time after that, I resented the world every day. I felt that the world

It's really terrible. It's only suitable for rotten people like me to survive, because I'm not moral and don't know what justice is. I firmly believe in liberalism and feel that selfishness is natural. And an upright and kind girl like Xie Minyun doesn't deserve to be

Such a filthy world to have"

Cheng Mo stopped talking and looked up out of the window. The courtyard in the early morning was covered with a layer of white mist, and the shadow of the sun could not be seen in the sky. The world was immersed in a refreshing haze.

"Such thoughts even gave me the urge to destroy the world." After saying this, he stared out the window and was silent for a long time.

Bai Xiuxiu did not speak to interrupt Cheng Mo's contemplation, and stared at the blooming camellia on the table with neither happiness nor sadness.

I don't know how long it took before Cheng Mo seemed to come back to his senses and continued to say in a calm tone: "It wasn't until I escaped to Syria and experienced some things."

Bai Xiuxiu then looked at Cheng Mo and asked in confusion: "Syria? How did you run to Syria?"

"It's a long story. I escaped from Paris and crossed the Mediterranean all the way to Greece. When I was in Athens, I was captured by the demon Byleth. She imprisoned me in the Hydra Building for almost 10 years.

Two years."

Cheng Mo deliberately skipped the details of his escape from Paris. Bai Xiuxiu heard that the matter was related to the "Black Death" and ignored it. Even though Cheng Mo said it lightly, Gao Xu died because of the Black Death. Bai Xiuxiu

Of course, I know what kind of organization the Black Death is, and I can fully imagine how many moments of wandering between life and death, and how many dangerous lives there were in Cheng Mo's unnarrated experiences.

Therefore, Bai Xiuxiu's eyes softened, "Demon Byleth, leader of Hydra? You must have suffered a lot, right?"

Cheng Mo shook his head, "I didn't suffer too much. I was just locked in a dark and cramped room. I was given a piece of bread and a glass of water every day. Apart from the smell, the bed was uncomfortable, but nothing else."

The easier Cheng Mo spoke, the more pity Bai Xiuxiu felt. She stretched out her hand as if to grab Cheng Mo's hand and comfort him, but the long, fair and slender jade hand was raised into the air, so she put it down and turned to go.

Holding the cup on the coffee table, she lowered her eyes, avoiding eye contact with Cheng Mo.

Bai Xiuxiu picked up the thin bone china tea cup, looked down at the steaming tea, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay once you get used to it. For someone like me, being alone is not that difficult. It also gives me time to think about many things."

"So you were imprisoned until Napoleon VII launched the purge of Hydra and escaped?"

"Um."

Bai Xiuxiu frowned and asked, "It wasn't Athena who helped you escape, right?"

"It can be said that if it weren't for her, I might have died in the Hydra Building and would not have been able to escape. She not only saved me, but also helped me lure Napoleon VII away at the critical moment. Later, she escaped from Napoleon VII.

He escaped from Shibang and fled to Syria with me on a smuggling boat.”

Cheng Mo narrated what happened in Syria in detail. When he talked about the scene where he saw Xie Minyun's photo at Faier's house, Bai Xiuxiu's eyes also turned red. She closed her eyes gently and lay flat in Cheng Mo's house.

In his direct words, I calmed down the overflowing emotions for a long time before regaining my composure.

Keep talking about the things he did in Syria last year, Cheng Mo stopped recalling, walked to the window, raised his hand and touched the cold glass window, and said in a sad tone: "Sorry, Sister Bai

, you know, I am not a person who likes to be sad about spring and autumn, and I thought I could easily look down on life and death. But when I was in a desperate situation, I realized how strong my will to survive is." said

At this point, Cheng Mo felt that there were boiling emotions in his chest that he wanted to vent, but he knew that Bai Xiuxiu didn't like to hear those trivial stories about the love between children. Although Bai Xiuxiu looked very delicate and charming on the outside, she was as solid as a rock on the inside, so Cheng Mo felt depressed.
