SIATOWITF Chapter 14
by VolareChapter 14: The handsome guy seems to be airsick, oh. I know, I won’t say a word…
Facts prove that if words and theories can’t influence unscientific creatures, then the thickness of books can also contribute its strength.
Ji Mo An, feeling slightly guilty, put a cover on the book. He felt that if he kept hitting him with it, it might fall apart.
But dialectics is really useful, and it comes with a materialistic buff.
“Put down my Money Tree.” He put the book back on the bookshelf and saw a few tattered leaves lying on the carpet.
“There’s also a Money Tree in the president’s office on the seventeenth floor of the building across the street. If you’re really so obsessed with gnawing on Money Tree leaves, go gnaw on theirs. And don’t forget to unplug the power cord when you go.”
“You, hit me, for the fourth time.” Xuan Bai released his mouth, and the poor branch snapped back, leaving only a single sprout on it.
“I specifically simulated a human tongue!” The snake raised its head righteously.
Is that the problem, the difference between a snake’s tongue and a human’s tongue?! Ji Mo An was angered again.
“If you don’t lick me with your tongue, I won’t hit you.”
“You will.” Xuan Bai suddenly interjected, his tone very certain.
“……”
“Are other people this afraid of you too?” Ji Mo An didn’t want to discuss this question, so he changed the subject.
“All humans are afraid of me.” Xuan Bai shook the tip of his tail, a bright red mark printed on his forehead.
“Nonsense.” Ji Mo An snorted. “I’ll be blunt, what’s your relationship to my dreams?”
“What dreams?”
“Although I don’t remember the content of the dreams, I remember the lingering phantom pains after waking up clearly for the past few years.” The fear left behind in the dream was exactly the same as what Xuan Bai brought him.
“The snake doesn’t know, oh~”
“Forgive me for being blunt, your acting is terrible.”
“I’m hungry, when are we going to eat?” Xuan Bai hugged his clothes and swam into the lounge with a whoosh.
“……” Ji Mo An found that Xuan Bai could always easily make him angry.
Damn it… He covered his forehead, forcibly trying to recall the fear just now.
Unfortunately, the recall seemed ineffective. No matter how he tried to think about it, he couldn’t find the feeling he had just had, just like those dreams that were only left in his memory as [Nightmares].
He couldn’t remember, and he couldn’t replicate it.
But without a doubt, if Xuan Bai had nothing to do with his dream, he would plant the Money Tree upside down.
This concerned his life…
Ji Mo An would never forget that night when the howling black car crashed into him while driving in the wrong direction, the sound of bones breaking deafening…
He really should see a psychologist with Brother Mu.
“The clothes are changed.” Xuan Bai walked out of the lounge, and once he put on his clothes, he became presentable again.
“I’ll ask you one last time, are you going to tell me or not.” Ji Mo An sat behind his desk, tapping the smooth surface with a pen.
If Secretary were here, she might be so frightened that her face would turn pale.
But Xuan Bai was still walking around like nothing had happened.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll investigate myself.” Ji Mo An’s understanding of the snake’s thick skin was refreshed once again.
“I don’t know, I can’t even understand your writing, I really don’t know anything, oh.” Xuan Bai’s face was written with ‘I know, but I won’t say.’
“Have we met before?” Ji Mo An blurted out another sentence.
Xuan Bai stopped, blinked, and his tone seemed to have a bit more joy.
“No, oh.”
So they had met, Ji Mo An was too lazy to even get angry now.
It wasn’t that the dead snake’s acting was bad, he just didn’t like acting at all, he was purely relying on his thick skin to talk nonsense.
Ha… as expected.
Ji Mo An took off his glasses and rubbed his aching eyes. It wasn’t just the actions that were familiar, but also the eyes.
Occasionally, those gazes that didn’t seem to belong to a human, made Ji Mo An feel very familiar.
—-
At 6:30 in the afternoon, Special Assistant Bai called to say that they could set off.
Ji Mo An grabbed the little snake that was sleeping curled up around the Money Tree.
“Change clothes, departure in ten minutes.” He threw Xuan Bai into the lounge and then put some documents into his briefcase.
Now Xuan Bai could skillfully put on a suit and dress himself up to a new level of handsomeness.
“There are five people going this time, Meng Xiao, Bai Yan, and also Little Yu. Meng Xiao is Meng Qingyan’s sister, the organizer of the anniversary exhibition. They are twins. Little Yu is the accompanying assistant. Stick close to me and Assistant Bai, talk to others as little as possible. If you get lost, crawl back yourself.”
Ji Mo An currently held great dissatisfaction towards Xuan Bai.
“Okay, Brother.” Xuan Bai grabbed the corner of Ji Mo An’s clothes and shook them from side to side.
“Try calling me that again?” Ji Mo An opened his briefcase, and the book with the cover quietly lay in the compartment.
“……” Xuan Bai retracted his hand and honestly followed behind Ji Mo An.
Special Assistant Bai was still the driver this time. He smiled and opened the car door after seeing Xuan Bai.
“President Ji, Brother Xuan, good evening.”
“Have they left?” Ji Mo An didn’t mind Special Assistant Bai’s change in address.
“Yes, because they have luggage, they left directly from their homes and should arrive earlier than us.” Assistant Bai took the opportunity to fasten his seat belt and glanced at Xuan Bai, who was squeezed into the back seat with Ji Mo An.
“President Ji, how about I add Brother Xuan’s contact information?”
“No…”
“Okay.” Xuan Bai had just learned how to scan and wanted to show Ji Mo An very much.
What’s okay about it… Ji Mo An stepped on Xuan Bai’s foot expressionlessly.
Unfortunately, the QR code was already lit up, and if he objected again, it would seem suspicious.
“President Ji, then we’ll set off.” Assistant Bai started the car, a drop of cold sweat running down his forehead.
He, Bai Yan, seemed to be courting death today.
His Brother Xuan’s profile picture was a little snake, a little snake tilting its head to look at the camera, a black-scaled little snake with golden eyes and a red forked tongue, obviously the one Ji Mo An was raising.
Most importantly… he clearly saw that Xuan Bai only had two people in his contact list.
One was his boss, and the other was a black and white anime head, who seemed young.
Moreover, his boss was pinned to the top.
Special Assistant Bai was sweating profusely.
In an instant, he seemed to recall many forgotten details.
For example, his boss said that Brother Xuan lived with him and didn’t have a phone or clothes when he came…
For example, his boss said that Brother Xuan was of Icelandic descent, but the only foreign language he spoke was definitely not Icelandic, and his Chinese seemed terrible, never saying more than a word.
And another example, his boss clearly said he was an amateur model, but wanted to sign him to Boss Ji. It was known that Gu Xing Entertainment produced artists and idols, but never promoted supermodels.
And another example…
Boss, Brother Xuan is good-looking, but you must not do anything illegal! Assistant Bai cried in his heart, calmly stopping at the intersection with ten seconds left on the green light, causing a chorus of horns from behind.
Ji Mo An naturally didn’t know about Assistant Bai’s rollercoaster-like emotional change, but Xuan Bai sensed it clearly.
He liked humans with rich emotions.
And soon, he was about to see someone even more excited than Assistant Bai.
Meng Xiao had arrived only ten minutes earlier than Ji Mo An and was currently sitting in the VIP room, tapping her fingers while eating pastries.
“Yo, Boss.” She greeted Ji Mo An vaguely while curiously looking at Xuan Bai. Little Yu also quickly stood up.
“Depart as soon as possible.” Ji Mo An nodded to them as a greeting.
“Mr. Ji, please, our captain is ready and can take off at any time.” The accompanying flight attendant immediately smiled and gestured for the staff to open the door at the end of the VIP room.
It was a carpeted corridor connected directly to the side door of the plane via a boarding bridge.
The captain and crew were already waiting at the door and greeted them warmly as they approached.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the plane with only five passengers soared into the sky before night fell.
“A small cake, please, thank you. Boss, can I take a photo with you? Collecting handsome guys can make my nine-grid more beautiful.” Meng Xiao happily took photos with the fiery red sunset while holding a small cake.
“No photos.” Ji Mo An ruthlessly rejected her request while typing on his computer.
“Then…” Meng Xiao secretly went to look at Xuan Bai, who was sitting next to Ji Mo An, leaning against the glass.
She had already learned about the other party from Assistant Bai’s gossip, but this was the first time they had met.
He was indeed very top-tier in looks, and his aloofness was also true…
So aloof that as soon as he boarded the plane, he holed himself up in the corner, looking out the window at a forty-five-degree angle, without even touching the meals that the flight attendant brought.
He wasn’t even playing on his phone…
?
Not playing on his phone?
Meng Xiao discovered the blind spot.
Even the assistant, Little Yu, couldn’t help but press the screen from time to time, but the handsome guy was just looking outside for almost an hour.
“……” Meng Xiao narrowed her eyes and carefully stared for a few seconds before discovering the truth.
[Meng Meng: 1]
“?” Ji Mo An clicked on the message pop-up and saw Meng Xiao’s “1” directly spamming the screen.
What’s wrong with her, he replied with a question mark.
[Meng Meng: Boss, the handsome guy you brought seems to be airsick, oh.]
Airsick?
Ji Mo An subconsciously turned his head. Xuan Bai was extremely quiet whenever he saw outsiders, so he hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
“Xuan Bai.” He patted Xuan Bai’s leg.
However, the snake was still looking out the window, looking melancholic and detached. In that instant, Ji Mo An seemed to feel him standing alone in the center of the stars, as if he was about to dissipate in the next second.
“……”
Eyes staring blankly, expression vacant.
Ji Mo An extracted eight refined words from the large amount of flowery language that flashed through his mind.
“Xuan Bai, Xuan Bai.” Ji Mo An simply closed his computer and shook Xuan Bai’s shoulder.
The snake turned his head, revealing an expression that said, “I have ascended.”
“As expected, even handsome guys are so charming when they are airsick.” Meng Xiao praised with a tsk.
“Take him to the lounge.” Ji Mo An refused the help of the flight crew and signaled Assistant Bai to help Xuan Bai up.
The lounge was a completely enclosed room, more like a luxurious bedroom.
“President Ji.” Assistant Bai helped Xuan Bai sit on the bed and wedged the cart filled with preserved plum tea and other items that the flight attendant had brought in front of the cabinet.
“Go.” Ji Mo An waved his hand, and Assistant Bai closed the door tactfully.
“Xuan Bai!”
The figure beside him suddenly disappeared, and clothes fell on the carpet with a thud.
Ji Mo An was startled and quickly picked up the pitiful little black snake from the ground.
The snake was extremely pitiful, he didn’t even stick out his tongue anymore.
He arched forward little by little along Ji Mo An’s hand and wrapped himself around the man’s waist.
Then…
Ji Mo An shivered from the cold because Xuan Bai had squeezed his head into the gap between the buttons of his clothes, and the icy scales were pressed against his skin.
The snake was trembling, he could feel it.
This was also the first time he felt that the snake was very weak.
The hand that was grabbing the snake’s head paused and landed on the scales of the seven inches, where the scales were more delicate and smooth than the snake’s body, and also the most vulnerable place for a snake.
However, the snake, whose seven inches was pinched, only shook his body slightly, with no other resistance.
Ji Mo An looked at the motionless Xuan Bai with a somewhat complicated expression. He felt that his way of getting along with Xuan Bai was really very strange.
