ATBWSTBP Chapter 42
by VolareJin Mo was naturally disappointed that he didn’t catch his brother on the mountain path.
In an instant, this disappointment was buried by immense joy and excitement.
The mountain village was so small; as long as he confirmed his brother was here, finding him would only be a matter of time!
The little bit of self-doubt he had originally felt completely vanished the moment he saw the figure that resembled Jin Baiyan.
Standing on the mountain path, looking at the gradually brightening mountain before him, the sea of clouds in the distant valley, listening to the crisp sounds of the birds, and breathing in the fresh scent of grass and trees,
Jin Mo’s heart was filled with irrepressible joy, almost overwhelming him!
“Ah!” He cheered at the mountain, startling a flock of early-rising birds.
His brother was here! His judgment was correct!
This thought made him feel lightheaded, and his steps were brisk as he returned to Slow Residence.
Passing by the lobby entrance, he greeted Wu Xiaomei, who was on the night shift, with a face full of excitement.
Wu Xiaomei looked astonished.
Twenty minutes ago, this person had rushed out like a lost soul; she had called out to him, but he hadn’t heard.
Twenty minutes later, he looked elated, as if he had found a treasure.
“Little Jin, what’s got you so happy so early in the morning?” Wu Xiaomei asked, leaning over the counter and staring at Jin Mo.
Jin Mo smiled brightly.
“Found a treasure!” After saying that, he didn’t care how surprised Wu Xiaomei was and went straight to the third floor, his steps bouncy.
Wu Xiaomei stared unblinkingly as Jin Mo’s figure disappeared at the stairwell, then sighed softly, “City people are just different from us!”
Jin Mo naturally didn’t know about Wu Xiaomei’s feelings; humming a little tune, he returned to the room with floating steps.
Xu Jiahao was standing at the door, staring at Jin Mo with resentment.
His small frame topped with a bird’s nest hairstyle, coupled with eyes like Lin Daiyu, really startled Jin Mo, whose mood was already high.
“Xu Brother, what… what are you doing?” Jin Mo looked at Xu Jiahao, then at himself, and asked in confusion.
Xu Jiahao had been awakened by Jin Mo’s earth-shattering voice.
For a moment, he thought there was an earthquake, and when he ran out to take a look, besides Jin Mo being gone, nothing else was wrong.
But the boss suddenly disappearing was also a terrifying thing, especially since the boss had made a huge noise before disappearing, which was even more unusual.
He called Jin Mo, but the phone was ringing in the room.
He took a turn downstairs and disappeared!
Wu Xiaomei said that Jin Mo had run out like the wind, and she called him, but he didn’t respond!
This made him even more strange!
After returning to the room, he paced back and forth for a while. He thought that if Jin Mo hadn’t returned in another ten minutes, he would also pry Xiao Feiwu and the others out of bed.
He shouldn’t be the only one worrying!
“Hey! I’m asking you! Why are you standing at the door instead of sleeping?” Jin Mo walked up to Xu Jiahao, his face full of smiles.
“What are you doing so early in the morning! Making such a big noise, trying to scare people to death?”
Xu Jiahao had a constipated expression on his face as he spat out a sentence unhappily.
As soon as he said this, Jin Mo jumped up instantly.
“Oh my, I’m too excited, I forgot to tell you, I just saw my brother!”
Jin Mo said, his eyebrows dancing with joy, as he walked toward the balcony.
“This morning, I woke up early and ran to the balcony to enjoy the scenery, and as a result, I saw my brother’s figure running from that corner!”
Xu Jiahao was shocked by Jin Mo’s words.
He looked in the direction Jin Mo was pointing; even though it was already bright, he could only see a narrow strip of the mountain path, not to mention a human figure!
He looked at Jin Mo with a shocked expression.
“Are you sure that the person you saw was your brother? Can you see clearly from so far away? Besides, if I remember correctly, it wasn’t very bright yet!”
Jin Mo raised his head, straightened his body, waved his hands involuntarily, and said excitedly,
“Although it was only for a second or two, although the sky wasn’t bright, although it was a little far away, it still couldn’t escape my discerning eyes!”
Xu Jiahao opened his mouth, looking incredulous.
“Just a second or two?”
Jin Mo nodded vigorously.
“Yes, it flashed past from the lower right corner of this window!” After speaking, he pointed to the lower right corner of the floor-to-ceiling glass, then revealed a slightly regretful expression, “I wanted to go down and catch him, but unfortunately, I didn’t catch him!”
Xu Jiahao sat down on the sofa, staring at Jin Mo for a long time.
He wanted to believe Jin Mo, but it was really hard to convince people!
Jin Mo, on the other hand, was in high spirits, continuing to babble.
“My ability to find my brother has been cultivated since I was a child!”
“Back then, I was in kindergarten, and my brother was in the second grade. Every day after school, I would squat in front of their teaching building. When school was over, there would be a sea of people, but I could always find my brother in the crowd at a glance!”
“Even Uncle Jin didn’t see it!”
“He said with a smile that I was a radar, specializing in locating my brother!”
“Sometimes, I think it’s amazing, we are clearly wearing the same school uniform, how can I see the difference?”
“So, don’t worry, I’m sure I didn’t see it wrong!”
“My brother is indeed hiding in this emerging small village!”
“My clues are not wrong!”
“Hahaha, I’m so excited! I want to go out and do a set of punches!”
Jin Mo said, waving his fists forcefully to vent his excitement.
Xu Jiahao looked at the talkative and excited Jin Mo in front of him, and his heart was also happy.
“Then what are we going to do next? Stake out the mountain path tomorrow morning? Intercept him?” Xu Jiahao leaned back and asked, swinging his legs.
Jin Mo nodded vigorously.
“My brother has a habit of morning running. Tomorrow morning, intercept him on the mountain road!”
Xu Jiahao sat up suddenly.
“What if your brother doesn’t recognize you? Wouldn’t intercepting him be creating conflict? Your brother’s martial arts skills are top-notch!”
Jin Mo’s shaking body stopped, and the smile on his face also froze.
“That’s right! How could I forget this!” He clapped his hands, “Then what should I do?”
Jin Mo frowned, “Or, I’ll go for a morning run too, and pretend it’s a chance encounter?”
Xu Jiahao laughed “giggle giggle”.
“Don’t laugh!” Jin Mo walked over, sat on the ground, wondering how he could do it without being abrupt.
“I’ll just say that I just came to Slow Residence and I like morning runs, I didn’t expect there to be someone like me!”
“If my brother recognizes me, then I’ll take the opportunity to recognize him.”
“If… he doesn’t recognize me, then I’ll just treat it as a chance encounter with him, and then slowly figure it out!”
“Just treat it as getting to know each other again!”
“This time, I’ll change to having a crush on him, and then win him over!”
“If one month doesn’t work, then one year!”
“I am confident that I can take him down!”
Jin Mo muttered to himself as he thought.
“First figure out where he lives, then find a way to get to know him, then gradually conquer his heart, and finally~, it’s done!”
Xu Jiahao narrowed his eyes, looking at Jin Mo, whose saliva was almost drooling, and his forehead was covered with black lines.
“Your expression is like a lecher, it’s scary!”
Xu Jiahao couldn’t stand it anymore, stood up, patted Jin Mo, and walked towards the washroom.
Jin Mo sat still, wiped his mouth, and laughed “giggle giggle”.
