After the Reborn Young Master Embraced a Life of Wellness – Chapter 25

When he returned to the dormitory that night, Chen Mo did not find the remains of his underwear in the trash can. Instead, the black cotton underwear that he had only worn once was neatly placed on his bed.

But the sight of the complete set of bedding hanging on the balcony made Chen Mo’s eyes twitch.

Chen Mo asked Xi Siyan, who was sitting on a stool flipping through a book, with some disbelief, “Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?”

“Is it an exaggeration?” Xi Siyan knew what he was talking about without even raising his head.

Chen Mo: “You have seriously hurt my male self-esteem.”

“You’re overthinking it.” Xi Siyan closed the book and looked at him. “The half-month physics competition training is about to start. I washed it in advance in case it won’t dry when I leave. You’re just too sensitive.”

In an instant, Chen Mo’s face lit up. “How do you know what I’m talking about? You might as well not look for an excuse to cover up your severe mysophobia to the point of perversion.”

Xi Siyan raised his eyebrows.

“First of all, you stared at the things on your bed for a long time as soon as you entered the room. It was as if you were afraid that someone would do something bad to your boxers. I let it go for you. If I didn’t notice it, I would have to be blind.”

“Secondly, I didn’t let you sit on my stool on weekdays? Didn’t you step on my bed when you went to bed? Last week, you were here, fell asleep in the middle of the make-up class, and drooled almost on my desk. What did I say about you? Am I a mysophobia? A pervert?”

Chen Mo: “…”

This feeling of being questioned and even speechless is quite new.

If he hadn’t known that Xi Siyan was also the captain of the school debate team, he would have wanted to bow his head and confess, saying that he had committed a serious sin.

The other people in the dormitory wanted to smile but didn’t dare to.

Chen Mo turned around and asked doubtfully, “Are the things he said true? Why don’t I have any impression of them?”

“It…is true, right?” Qi Lin said reluctantly after a chuckle.

He suppressed his expression and raised his hand as a witness, “I’m not saying anything bad about you, Brother Mo, but your lifestyle habits seem to be healthy and positive, with a thermos cup in your hand every day and a foot bath before going to bed every night. But in fact, don’t you find that you live a little too casually and carelessly? Just last night, you definitely used the wrong shampoo from Lao Xi. I smelled it when you came out. It was the same smell as Lao Xi.”

Having said that, Chen Mo really didn’t pay attention.

He likes to be distracted when taking a bath. When he was busy in the past, the most relaxing thing for him to do after get off work was to take a bath.

That moment of private time was enough for him to review the day’s itinerary, including what he did right and what went wrong.

This habit has not changed yet.

It’s just that I pretend less now. No matter how big the problem is, I’ll just think about it. Like a few questions I got wrong in the exam?

He scratched his hair subconsciously, then put his fingertips to his nose and smelled it.

I don’t think it’s any different from what I use on a daily basis.

Before I could say anything, I heard Xi Siyan say, “Really? You were born in the Year of the Dog, so it’s not a big deal if you use it wrong.”

“Indeed.” Chen Mo nodded and didn’t take it to heart. However, he remembered something when he was scratching his hair just now: “I feel my hair is a little long. Tomorrow is Friday and the get out of class ends early in the afternoon. Who of you wants to go get a haircut together?”

Jiang Xu: “Why don’t we just forget about it? Lao Xiang has mentioned this several times, saying that if he sees someone not cutting their hair properly, he will use a clipper to help cut it.”

Except Xue Ping, everyone else had no objection.

The matter was thus settled.

Chen Mo still has one last day of acupuncture to go.

He thought about going to the Chinese medicine clinic again after getting his hair cut.

The weather was also good the next day.

After school, everyone else had to go back to the dormitory to get their things, and knowing his leg problem, they made an appointment with Chen Mo to meet at the school gate.

Chen Mo left the school alone first.

Every Friday afternoon, the school gate has the highest flow of people. There are many parents coming to the school to pick up their children, and boarding students are also coming in and out. Some of them don’t even write leave notes, just to sneak out of the school when there are many people.

Chen Mo was standing on the side of the road, attracting a lot of attention.

After all, it is still very popular nowadays.

The fact that he came out publicly was enough to make him get pointed at at school.

Not to mention that he took off his school uniform and tied it around his waist, squatted on the curb when he got tired of standing, and waved his paw lazily at acquaintances when he greeted them. That tone of voice, coupled with that face, made him extremely eye-catching.

There were a few girls who were secretly looking at Chen Mo and kept staring at him.

At some unknown moment, the squatting person suddenly jumped up, quickly crossed the traffic on the road, and disappeared into the alley opposite.

So when a group of people in the dormitory came out and couldn’t find anyone, and no one answered the phone, many people enthusiastically provided them with information.

“Chen Mo? He went to the other side.”

“I don’t know what he was doing. He was running pretty fast. When he was crossing the road, the driver honked his horn, but he acted as if he didn’t hear it.”

“Looks like he’s chasing someone.”

“I didn’t see clearly. I didn’t see anyone on the other side.”

After hearing these words, Xi Siyan glanced across the street with a frown on his face.

“What’s going on? Did Brother Mo run into someone he knows?” Qi Lin turned to seek Xi Siyan’s opinion and asked, “Why don’t we go to the barber shop and wait. Maybe he went shopping.”

Jiang Xu and Bai Cheng nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll call you on the way.”

“Wait a moment.” Xi Siyan stopped them and stuffed the bag in his hand into Qi Lin’s arms, “Come with me to find someone.”

The other three were stunned.

Seeing that Xi Siyan’s face looked a little serious, he looked at each other for a few seconds and then nodded without saying anything.

*

When Chen Mo blocked the people behind the guardrail on the street, this place should be one kilometer away from the gate of No. 1 Middle School. The guardrail was about 20 meters high, and there was a small garbage dump underneath. Extending outward from the garbage dump was the largest cross-city river in Suicheng.

The wind on the river was strong, making the “Be Careful” propaganda cloth on the guardrail rustle.

The air was filled with the rotten smell of the garbage dump below.

“Run.” Chen Mo grabbed the collar of the man in front of him and pushed him against the guardrail, gritting his teeth, “Why the hell don’t you keep running?”

The middle-aged man who was caught looked quite embarrassed.

His greasy hair looked like it hadn’t been washed for a long time, he had yellow teeth, and his eyes were bloodshot from years of drinking.

Unable to break free at this moment, his face twisted and he cursed: “Little bastard! I raised you for so many years, and this is how you treat your father, right?”

“Then how should I treat you?”

Chen Mo smiled and asked, “I’ll give you money to support you?”

“That’s right!”

Chen Jianli didn’t want to run away at this time. He pulled back his torn denim jacket and pointed at Chen Mo and said, “Don’t think I don’t know. It’s the Yang family who’s begging me now! The news about the wrong baby was released by the Yang family themselves. Even that bitch Li Yunru was acquitted. Giving me some money is nothing.”

Chen Jianli said excitedly, grabbing Chen Mo’s arm, his neck red, “Son, your father came to you this time to seek justice for you. The Yang family wants face, reputation, and benefits. The Yang family treats you as a human being. This is our father and son’s chance!”

Chen Mo laughed, “I’m not your son. You came to me so suddenly because you found that you can’t get close to your own son. Or maybe he doesn’t recognize you and even told you to get lost.”

Chen Jicheng’s face turned purple for a moment.

Perhaps he was thinking about how he tried to get close to his biological son but couldn’t even see him, and his son almost called the police.

He cursed angrily, “That idiot who doesn’t even recognize his own father! He’s been surrounded by bodyguards lately.”

Bodyguard.

Chen Mo thought about what happened at this time in his previous life.

Chen Jicheng was also found at this time and gave exactly the same story.

At that time, I didn’t live in the school dormitory.

Every day, he and Yang Shule took the same car to and from school. It was then that he learned that the Yang family had long known that Chen Jianli had come to Suicheng. Zhou Yaoqiong hired the bodyguard, and she said it very nicely, “The bodyguard will follow you, and mom will be relieved. That person is addicted to gambling, and who knows what he will do.”

As a result, when Chen Jicheng really showed up, the bodyguards escorted Yang Shule directly into the car and left.

Chen Mo heard what Chen Jianli said.

What did you do at that time?

Oh, he had a fight with Chen Jianli as soon as they met, and returned to Yang’s house with a bruise on his face.

The Yang family had different attitudes and statements when facing this matter.

Zhou Yaoqiong looked distressed: “How did you get hurt like this? Xiaomo, it’s all my fault. I just thought that Chen Jianli would definitely cause trouble for Shule, after all, he is his biological son. I didn’t expect the bodyguard to get off the topic and actually leave you behind.”

Yang Qicong: “Son, I’m glad that you care about the family. But the current situation of the group is still unstable, and we must not let him make things worse, so don’t be stubborn. Just pretend to agree to him and buy some time. I will find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.”

Yang Zhi looked coldly: “With your impulsive temper, what can you accomplish?”

Chen Mo was not doing it for the Yang family at that time.

He just wanted to take action against Chen Jicheng.

However, he did as the Yang family requested and did not make a big deal out of the matter. He allowed Chen Jianli to blackmail him for quite a long time, and the amount of money he asked for increased from a small amount in the beginning to a huge amount in the end.

This was the last straw that broke the camel’s back for Chen Jicheng, who was later sentenced to serve a prison term far exceeding the term for robbery and injuring people and absconding. The amount of extortion was huge.

Just this time.

Chen Mo took the initiative to say: “No need to look for the Yang family, I will give you the money.”

“You’re giving me money?” Chen Jianli spat, obviously not believing it. “You’re not even eighteen years old yet. How much pocket money can the Yang family give you?”

Chen Mo gave a number, and when Chen Jianli’s eyes lit up, he said, “This money is not given to you for free. I have two requirements. Go to the front of the Yang’s company building and find a man named Yang Zhi. If he doesn’t see you, you can make a scene. They will definitely not be stingy and give you more hush money. Second, don’t come to me again. If you insist on me getting involved, I will take the transfer records and ask the police to invite you for tea. The matter between the Chen and Yang families went to court. You should know the result. Deal?”

Chen Jianli was still a little skeptical: “You don’t favor the Yang family at all? And you gave me money to blackmail the Yang family?”

“Don’t say such harsh words.” Chen Mo shrugged, the wind blew his hair in front of his forehead, revealing his whole face, which looked innocent. “I’m just a high school student. What can I do? I haven’t even seen you today.”

“No.” Chen Jianli got a satisfactory answer and laughed, “Yes, yes, I haven’t seen it.”

Amid the greedy voice, Chen Mo looked up at the big river in the distance.

The river looked calm at this time.

…

When Chen Mo came out of the alley, he suddenly stopped.

Several people suddenly came up to me.

“Fuck! Chen Mo, where have you been? It’s been so long.”

“That’s right. We thought you were kidnapped.”

“Old Xi! We found the person!”

“here!”

Chen Mo’s gaze swept across the faces of his roommates, then he looked up at the person who was walking towards him ten meters away.

Chen Mo shook the water off his hands and said, “It’s okay, I just went to the bathroom.”

“You’re ridiculous. You have to go so far to use the restroom.”

“We were looking for you like crazy, but you didn’t even answer the phone.”

Chen Mo was stunned: “Sorry, my phone is out of battery.”

When Chen Mo finished speaking, Xi Siyan had already walked closer.

“What’s wrong with your hand?” he asked first.

Chen Mo looked down at his hands and said indifferently, “Oh, I touched something dirty.”

Qi Lin and the others then discovered that Chen Mo’s rolled-up sleeves had been washed red from his elbows to his fingertips, as if he was rubbing off a layer of skin. He was white, and there were even faint subcutaneous hemorrhages in some places.

Qi Lin: “…If there are any more dirty things like this, I will start to wonder who has a mysophobia between you and Lao Xi.”

Xi Siyan said nothing.

He just raised his eyes and glanced at the place behind Chen Mo that led to somewhere unknown.

Then he looked away and said, “Let’s go.”

“Let’s go.” Chen Mo called the others, “Let’s go to the barber shop first.”

As a result, as soon as he turned right out of the alley, he was pulled and turned 180 degrees.

Xi Siyan said calmly, “Go get the acupuncture first.”

“I want to get a haircut first.” Chen Mo looked at the hand holding his wrist bone and wondered, “Mr. Pang said that the last acupuncture will be more painful than ever before. Are you deliberately using this to take revenge on me?”

Xi Siyan looked down in the direction of his gaze, then naturally let go.

“What revenge? Revenge for wasting your time?” Xi Siyan said coldly, “Mr. Pang has a family gathering today and will leave the clinic at seven o’clock. You have to go even if you are afraid. Don’t make excuses.”

His intention was discovered, so Chen Mo gave up: “Then I’ll go by myself. This is the last time anyway.”

Chen Mo really didn’t want anyone to follow him.

The clinic’s skills are indeed good, but each time Mr. Pang gives acupuncture, it becomes more and more severe.

Although Chen Mo was able to endure it last time, his back was almost soaked with cold sweat by the time it was over. The old Chinese doctor himself said that the last time was twice as painful as the last time. Chen Mo didn’t want to embarrass himself.

Xi Siyan looked at him and said, “Just cry, no one is watching you.”

“Who the hell is going to cry!” Chen Mo was so angry that he said this.

The people sitting side by side at the back heard it all.

“Brother Mo, are you crying?”

“Ah? Why are you crying?”

“Old Xi, you made me cry? You said you were the same. I just went to the toilet. Why did you do that?”

Chen Mo paused.

He turned around and pointed at a barber shop on the opposite side of the road, and smiled coldly, “Why don’t you go there first and let the barber fix your brain as well.”

Several people: “…”

I’m sorry.

Goodbye.
