SIATOWITF Chapter 28
by VolareChapter 28: Why the Sudden Emergency Brake? Little Snake, Little Snake, Quick, Put on Your Hat…
Snuggle!
Ji Mo An’s eyes snapped open, and what he saw was an adorable snake head.
He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination… but he felt that the bad snake’s eyes were even bigger, frighteningly big…
Ji Mo An tilted his head and looked at the big-eyed, cute snake cartoon picture stuck to the head of the bed, then looked at the big-eyed snake pressing against his forehead.
“…”
He decisively stretched out two fingers, pinching the snake’s chin from the left and right.
*Smack.*
Today’s most perfect arc was drawn by the snake.
“Big eyes are cute in two dimensions, but terrifying in three dimensions.” He put his glasses on the bridge of his nose and coldly watched the snake wriggling on the curtain.
“Change back.”
“Hiss…” The snake wrapped around the curtain and hissed at him, but halfway through, it suddenly closed its mouth and obediently changed back to its original form.
“What did you do again?” Ji Mo An felt that this snake was abnormal. It was obvious that it had seen something before it suddenly became so well-behaved.
The snake tilted its head, cute and lovable.
“…” Ji Mo An suddenly felt uneasy and decisively got out of bed and pushed open the bathroom door.
In the mirror, a red mark, half a finger wide, was presented on his forehead in a perfect arc, and even the marks of the scales were clearly visible.
Today’s second most perfect arc was also drawn by the snake.
“Get in there.” Ji Mo An wiped his face expressionlessly and placed the wooden box heavily on the table.
The snake obediently climbed into the box, filling it to the brim, and then stuck its head in the groove of the box, looking at Ji Mo An with sparkling eyes.
It was so well-behaved that Ji Mo An couldn’t bring himself to find fault with it.
This made Ji Mo An even more annoyed, because the red mark on his forehead was particularly conspicuous in the mirror.
So, two hours later, the snake lost its qualification to lie in his pocket.
–
“I finally saw it this time, the real thing is as cute as the pictures!”
“Brother, does it bite people? Can I take it out to play?”
“Hey, does it eat things?”
A group of people who had just arrived at the old mansion surrounded the wooden box containing the snake, curiously taking pictures and searching on Baidu.
“…” It would have been better to keep it in my pocket, Ji Mo An said speechlessly as he took back the wooden box from the crowd.
“Alright, you can play with it later. Ji Mo Xin and the others will be here in an hour, I’m going to see my grandfather now.”
“It’s not easy.” Su Ziyang, who was holding a dog’s tail grass that he didn’t know where he’d gotten it from, ready to tease the snake, smacked his lips when he heard this.
“Brother, you don’t know, my Brother Ji is about to suffocate. They left at nine o’clock, and Brother Ji has cursed Lin Mo no less than twenty times in the chat.”
“Why curse Lin Mo?”
“It seems that he suddenly slammed on the brakes halfway, and then Brother Ji has been carsick ever since.” Su Ziyang shrugged, “You know, none of us liked that big ice block anyway.”
“It’s not that we don’t like him, it’s just that being with him gives off a very weird feeling.” Ye Xun chimed in. “It’s like… uh… do you remember that bald-headed director of education from our high school?”
“What kind of description is that…” Meng Qingyan shook her fan, “It’s just that when he stands next to you, you feel like he’s going to control you.”
“Too gentle, I think it’s supervision.” Su Ziyang grinned.
“It’s not as terrifying as you guys make it out to be.” Ji Mo An found it a little funny. Lin Mo was a little cold, but not as terrible as they made him out to be.
“Only you, Brother, can put up with it. Seriously, if Lin Mo were given a profession, I think he should be the kind of mercenary boss with dark sunglasses… Ah, Special Assistant Bai is here.”
“I’m leaving first, see you at the banquet tomorrow.” Ji Mo An took the snake and got into the car.
“Mr. Ji, when did this little thing come?” Special Assistant Bai turned his head and was startled to see the snake sticking its head out.
“The chef at home came to the old mansion last night, and I asked him to bring it.” Ji Mo An was now extremely smooth at making up lies.
“Oh, oh.” Special Assistant Bai trusted his boss’s words implicitly. “By the way, Mr. Ji, Brother Lin, Miss Ji Mo Xin, and Young Master Ji arrived early and just got off the highway. Maybe they can arrive with us.”
“Okay.” Ji Mo An nodded and pressed the snake’s head back into the wooden box.
This wooden box was a little small, and it seemed a little cramped with the snake inside.
The car was driving on the highway, and just as Ji Mo An could see the outline of the old mansion, he received a call from his sister.
“Brother…” Ji Mo Xin’s voice was obviously a little weak.
“I’m here… where are you…”
“Soon… ten minutes at most.” Ji Mo An frowned slightly as he listened to her unsteady voice, “Did you see Grandpa?”
“Not yet… I just got off the bus… Brother, I want to complain, Brother Lin slammed on the brakes… Ah, I see Grandpa, Grandpa is waiting for me!”
“…” Ji Mo An looked at the disconnected call, he felt that Ji Mo Xin’s tone in the last sentence instantly regained its vitality.
“Drive faster.”
“Alright.” Special Assistant Bai looked at the road conditions and pressed down on the accelerator slightly.
–
On the other side…
“Lin Mo, how are you driving?” The old master doted on his granddaughter the most, and quickly pulled Ji Mo Xin to sit on the sofa.
“Hello Grandpa Wei. Uh… Excuse me…” Ji Cheng Yu wasn’t in any better condition than Ji Mo Xin, he hurriedly greeted the old master and then walked diagonally into the bathroom.
“Are you still dizzy?” The butler was also old, and felt extremely sorry for them.
“I’m OK.” Ji Mo Xin raised her right hand, made an OK gesture, and then immediately covered her mouth to stop herself from gagging.
“Grandpa, I’ll lie down for a while.” The little girl fell headfirst on the sofa.
“Old Zheng, get some kumquats for Ji Mo Xin. Lin Mo, come with me.” The old master put his hands behind his back, adding a touch of sternness to his tone.
“Hey, Grandpa, don’t blame Brother Lin. Maybe a rabbit suddenly jumped out on the road or something…” Ji Mo Xin felt that the old master’s tone was wrong, and quickly propped up her dizzy head from the sofa.
“It’s okay, Grandpa won’t blame him.” The old man’s tone suddenly softened, he lovingly touched the girl’s slightly feverish cheeks, and conjured up a bag of dried plum candy as if by magic.
“I’ll talk to him about company matters, your brother will be here soon, let him take care of you. If you’re really uncomfortable, let Old Zheng call a doctor over, do you want to go back to your room to rest first?”
“It’s okay, I’ll lie down for a while. Grandpa, my brother brought a snake, it’s super pretty! I have to see the snake.” Ji Mo Xin crashed back on the sofa with a *thud*.
“This child…” The old man shook his head helplessly, and signaled Lin Mo to follow him to the study.
……
“What’s going on?” Closing the study door, the old master stood with his hands behind his back, and the light pouring in from the window sill filled half of his body, making him appear dignified and solemn.
For Ji Mo Xin and Ji Cheng Yu to be so carsick, it was definitely not caused by slamming on the brakes once or twice.
Moreover…
If it was excusable for others to suddenly have an abnormality on the road and brake urgently, but Lin Mo absolutely couldn’t, because he was…
“Someone is attacking the chip, forcing the chip to release current.” Lin Mo lowered his eyes and pressed his index finger against the back of his neck.
“What?” The old master’s eyes sharpened.
“It was continuously released three times. During the third release, Miss Ji Mo Xin hit her head, and the current stopped immediately as soon as I heard her voice.” Lin Mo bit his lip lightly.
“You should have heard about what happened yesterday, or rather, at one o’clock this morning.” The old master paused, and took a small silver cube from the desk, placing it in front of Lin Mo.
“Someone sneaked into the main control room, turned off the main power supply, and planted a program in the system.” Lin Mo paused, “Perhaps… not a human.”
“He left this at the scene.” The old master read the name on the nameplate.
“Ulos.”
“I know that child, he’s an Egyptian international student. A mixed Chinese-Egyptian race. But he had already returned to his country three days ago.”
“I think his choice of this child’s name is not accidental. Lin Mo, what did you think of?”
“…” Lin Mo didn’t say a word, he walked to the desk and drew a circle on the brown-red table with his index finger.
“Is it a provocation?” The old master lowered his voice.
“Perhaps it’s a warning.” Lin Mo shook his head slightly. “Sir, they are very dangerous, but they don’t seem to want to contact us, so I think this is a warning.”
“…”
“Lin Mo.” The old master sighed, “I just want to ensure that ‘he’ stays away from my children, that is the top priority.”
“…”
“Okay.”
–
“Snake!” As soon as Ji Mo Xin heard the familiar footsteps, she immediately got up from the sofa.
“Are you still dizzy?” Ji Mo An touched her forehead, the little girl had returned to a normal temperature.
“Not dizzy, not dizzy anymore.” Ji Mo Xin’s heart and eyes were now full of the snake.
“Old An, why don’t you ask if I’m dizzy?” Ji Cheng Yu sat slovenly on the other side of the sofa, cleaning out the fruit plate one by one.
“I don’t think you look dizzy.” Ji Mo An took out the box and placed it on the table.
“Hey, let me see.” Ji Cheng Yu immediately leaned over. “Wow, so small.”
In the exquisite wooden box, the black snake with golden eyes raised its head, and its small red tongue stretched out, touching the air.
“Hey, this little thing is interesting.” Ji Cheng Yu, being a busybody, took out a fruit and waved it in front of the little snake.
“Zzz, zzz, zzz.”
“…” Are you calling a dog?
Ji Mo An was a little speechless.
And so, Ji Cheng Yu and the snake stared at each other for a few seconds, the little snake flicked its tongue, and suddenly turned its head and swam out of the box.
It completely ignored Ji Cheng Yu, who was holding the fruit.
“I actually saw speechless on a snake’s face.” Ji Mo Xin marveled with a tsk.
“Little snake, little snake, quick, put on your hat.” She rummaged through her bag, and finally found a few thimble-sized hats with two long pompoms in a small bag.
“Ha…” The little snake immediately leaned back, showing its tiny fangs menacingly at Ji Mo Xin.
[Fierce!]
“Wow, it doesn’t seem willing.” Ji Mo Xin was startled, and clutched the little hat helplessly.
“Give it to me.” Ji Mo An took the hat.
“Ha…” The snake immediately started to be fierce at Ji Mo An.
“…” I let you be fierce to Ji Mo Xin and my parents, why are you being fierce to me…
Ji Mo An gave Xuan Bai a look in the corner where Ji Cheng Yu and Ji Mo Xin couldn’t see, and the snake immediately obediently lay on the table.
“Oh, Old An, your snake training skills are amazing. Can it dance if you play a flute?” Ji Cheng Yu curiously circled the snake lying on the table a few times.
“I think you look like a flute.” Ji Mo An rolled his eyes at him, then used his fingertips to lift the snake’s head and put the little hat on its head.
Unfortunately, the snake’s neck was slippery, and the two long ropes couldn’t tie it at all.
“Why don’t you tie it to its teeth, I saw that its little teeth are quite sharp when it bares them.” Ji Cheng Yu suggested mischievously.
“Ha…” The snake immediately raised its head and hissed at him.
[Fierce!]
“Oh, did it understand?” Ji Cheng Yu was a little surprised.
“…”
Not only did it understand, but it could also hold a grudge. Ji Mo An looked speechlessly at the snake hissing at people while holding the little hat.
Sigh, how did a Ji Cheng Yu pop up in his good plan.
