It's a pity that Gu Sheng's doubts and guesses could no longer be heard by the two parties involved.
Bo Xiyun followed Yi Zhongshen into the car again, still in the front passenger seat. This time, as soon as he entered, he could smell a very light herbal smell.
After fastening the seat belt, Bo Xiyun raised his eyes and saw a simple sachet newly added to the rearview mirror.
The person beside him was turning the steering wheel to reverse the car, and the palms pressing on it were sharp and slender. He glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed Bo Xiyun's gaze, and spoke concisely.
"Motion sickness medicine pack."
Bo Xiyun knew that with a family like Yi Zhongshen's, he often brought bodyguards with him when he went out, so this medicine bag should have been added by someone just now.
After thinking about it, Bo Xiyun was still a little embarrassed: "I troubled you."
"Actually, the previous motion sickness medicine is very effective, thank you."
Yi Zhongshen didn't say anything, and Bo Xiyun was used to the senior's seriousness and reticence, but when the car drove out of the parking area, the boy beside him who had been staring ahead suddenly said.
"Don't use too much, it will cause drug resistance."
Bo Xiyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response: "Okay."
He didn't expect the other party to remind him of such details.
In the rearview mirror, Yi Zhongshen seemed to glance at him, his voice low and cold.
"Take a break and don't look out the window."
Bo Xiyun obediently closed his eyes.
He found that Yi Zhongshen seemed to be the same as him, and he liked to control things within a controllable range in advance.
But it is obvious that Yi Zhongshen is a bit more powerful, and he can avoid unnecessary troubles and risks with ease.
Regarding Yi Zhongshen's almost exhaustive exhortations, Bo Xiyun sighed sincerely from the bottom of his heart.
No wonder Yi Zhongshen is so good now.
A silver and black Maybach silently moves in the night.
After closing their eyes, other senses become more acute. In the warm space, the smell of herbs became more obvious.
But what Bo Xiyun really noticed was another kind of faint and cold fragrance.
He recognized that it was Yi Zhongshen's smell.
The car drove very steadily, and during the smooth and regular driving, Bo Xiyun's spirit gradually relaxed.
There was no music playing in the car, and the surroundings were very quiet, with thin fragrance lingering in his mouth and nose, and Bo Xiyun had a little hallucination in a trance.
He seemed to see frost-covered ice.
The solid ice burned silently, silently exuding a biting cold fragrance.
The journey from Bai's house to the hotel was not too long, but because the car was so comfortable and warm, Bo Xiyun almost fell asleep again.
After arriving at the hotel, the welcoming guests brought Gu Sheng and Bo Xiyun's luggage in. When checking in at the front desk, Gu Sheng remembered that there was still someone who didn't know where to stay at night.
"Zhong Shen, you..."
But before Gu Sheng finished speaking, the front desk handed over three room cards, and Yi Zhongshen also took one away.
Gu Sheng was surprised: "You live here too?"
When did you book the room, so fast?
Yi Zhongshen just nodded, without explaining a word, turned around and paid three deposits.
Gu Sheng looked at the back of the other party, startled, still a little unresponsive.
"Why does it feel like he's acting weird today..."
Gu Sheng touched his chin, he thought about it carefully, and only came up with one clue.
"Is it because you have dealt with the scandal today and you are in a bad mood?"
When Bo Xiyun at the side heard it, he took it for granted: "It should be."
"I hope Senior Yi's mood can recover soon."
The rooms of the three of them are on the same floor. Coincidentally, there is also a rooftop on this floor. When Bo Xiyun passed by, he took a look and saw that the outdoor scenery was very good.
Everyone went to their rooms to settle down. Bo Xiyun's luggage was brought back from City B directly after the competition. There were a little more things, and there were a lot of competition materials piled up inside.
He simply dug out all the items related to his studies, just in time to tidy them up in his spare time tonight.
However, Bo Xiyun soon encountered obstacles—the fan blades of the windshield of the air conditioner in the house seemed to be stuck, and they were tilted up high, unable to swing.
The air conditioner was installed very high, so Bo Xiyun moved a chair and tried to step on it, but couldn't reach it, so he had to ask the waiter for help.
His room was at the end of the corridor. As soon as he went out, Bo Xiyun saw a slender figure in the corridor.
The man was standing by the glass window on the roof, as if he was talking on the phone, with a white smoke in his lips, his eyes slightly lowered, under the cold moonlight, his cold and handsome side face became more dignified.
"Well, I personally recommend cutting off all cooperation."
Bo Xiyun was shaken by the cool moonlight, and it took half a beat before he confirmed it.
That is Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng's call ended soon. He hung up the phone and looked out the window. There was an unfamiliar sense of distance on his unsmiling face, which seemed to be infected with the alienation and coolness of this cold night.
Bo Xiyun suddenly remembered that in fact, according to the rumors, the Gu family was more prosperous than the Yi family.
Second young master Gu is also an unattainable person who is so outstanding that he can be called a legend.
But now, that legend turned his head, saw Bo Xiyun, blinked, and a slight smile emerged from his eyes.
The sense of distance that seemed to be an illusion completely receded from his body, Gu Sheng said: "Xi Yun, what's wrong?"
The voice is as gentle as usual.
He saw the room card in Bo Xiyun's hand and asked, "Want to go out?"
"Go to the front desk," Bo Xiyun said, walking over, "I want to ask someone to help check the air conditioner, the windshield is stuck."
"Huh?" Gu Sheng was still biting the white cigarette, and his speech was not affected, "Can't you open it?"
But when Bo Xiyun approached, he noticed that Gu Sheng didn't smell of smoke, but instead had a very light and gentle mint fragrance.
Only then did he realize that it was not white smoke.
It's a mint.
Gu Sheng had already pulled out the mint candy, crunched it into pieces, and threw the white stick into the trash can. He rolled up his cuffs, revealing his thin and strong wrist bones.
"Come with me, I'll take a look."
Why? Bo Xiyun was surprised, and followed up a little too late: "Is that okay? Thank you, senior."
"It's okay," Gu Sheng said with a smile, "you don't need to be so polite."
Bo Xiyun didn't know that before he opened the door, Gu Sheng's phone call was related to him.
On the phone by the rooftop, Gu Sheng called his family.
Although the bodyguard had already reported the situation of the Bai family in the first place, Gu Sheng mentioned it again, and at the same time mentioned another matter.
Terminate the follow-up cooperation with Bai family.
Gu Sheng's visit this time actually meant to investigate for his family. Although the Gu family had already left Q City, their business spread all over the country. During this time, the Gu family happened to have a project in East China.
Originally, the Gu family intended to find an old acquaintance they had worked with, but now, Gu Sheng is already persuading his father to find another partner.
Because of previous contacts, Gu Sheng had some impressions of the Bai family, but it was limited to business contacts, and he did not judge Bai Gelei himself.
But looking at it now, even if it is a business relationship, this person is not worth entrusting at all.
After making the phone call and seeing such a well-behaved child again, Gu Sheng's mood improved a lot. He followed Bo Xiyun into the room, briefly checked the air conditioner, and said.
"Lend me a piece of paper."
There happened to be a lot of study materials on Bo Xiyun's desk. He tore a piece of white paper and handed it over. Gu Sheng put the paper on the bench before stepping on it.
As he expected, the fan blade was just stuck by something, Gu Sheng reached out for it, and quickly fiddled with a fragment in the inner layer.
The air conditioner was working right away.
"That's it."
Gu Sheng clapped his hands. As soon as he got off the bench, he saw Bo Xiyun's shining eyes.
"The senior is amazing."
Gu Sheng laughed: "Is that so?"
Bo Xiyun nodded affirmatively, looked at the other person's size enviously, and quietly straightened his back a little.
When he was with Yi Zhongshen before, Bo Xiyun was clearly compared with almost a head's height difference. Now, although Gu Sheng is not as good as Yi Zhongshen, he is still much taller than Bo Xiyun.
Gu Sheng wanted to laugh even more.
Whether he was in the banquet hall or the lounge today, all he saw was Bo Xiyun's indifference and calmness. He didn't expect the child to have such a cute side.
"You can grow even taller if you eat more." He immediately started drawing cakes to fool him, but he couldn't see how thin the child was now, "By the way, you haven't had a serious meal tonight, what do you want to eat?"
With that said, Gu Sheng put away the dirty white paper and was about to put the bench back to the table.
"Young Master Yi should be taking a bath." This is Yi Zhongshen's habit.
Gu Sheng said: "When he finishes washing, we will go..."
He was distracted while talking, but he didn't pay attention to the low table beside him, and accidentally knocked on it.
The table shook, and some papers on it were shaken and fell off.
"I am so sorry."
Gu Sheng put down the bench and reached out to pick it up, but when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the contents on the paper, his movements suddenly stopped.
"It's all right." Bo Xiyun said, ready to clean up by himself.
But when he saw the paper clearly, he was also stunned.
The one that was knocked off was a plain envelope, the outer skin was the most common style, not inconspicuous at all, but there was no crease on the envelope, it could be seen that it had been carefully preserved.
The envelope was originally sealed with washi tape, but perhaps the tape lost its stickiness, and then there was a sudden shock, and all the carefully stored paper slipped out.
Because there were too many materials during the competition, they hadn't been sorted out yet, and Bo Xiyun had never seen this envelope before.
So he never expected that the envelope was unraveled, and the inside was neat and carefully preserved——
Page after page was filled with handwritten drafts.
The papers were all scattered, so everyone could see clearly. Some of the drafts were the steps to solve the problems, some were the key words of the question stems copied during the lecture, and some even had nothing to do with learning, just a few words recorded casually.
And all the drafts are obviously written by the same person, the font on the paper is handsome and sharp, and the strokes are extremely powerful.
It was Yi Zhongshen's handwriting.
Someone quietly collected the drafts that Yi Zhongshen had written casually in a certain period.
Secretly treasured in the envelope.
The scattered drafts lay quietly on the ground, and the room was a little strangely silent for a while.
Bo Xiyun's figure was slightly stiff, and the draft paper was closer to Gu Sheng than to him, so Gu Sheng would naturally see it more clearly.
And he knew that as an old friend, Gu Sheng would definitely be able to recognize Yi Zhongshen's characters.
Bo Xiyun immediately wanted to explain, he didn't want the other party to misunderstand, but before he could speak, there was a soft "du" sound from the door.
The sound was particularly obvious in the silent room, and the two people in the room turned their heads together and followed the sound.
The door that had been forgotten to be closed was wide open, beside the door, Yi Zhongshen stood there with an expressionless face, his slender and powerful hand resting on the door with one finger.
It was he who knocked on the door.
Because he had just taken a shower, the boy's body was obviously still moist with moisture, and the hair that had been lifted up on his forehead fell down, and he should have been in a relaxed state, but these differences after the bath still failed to make up for it. His own coldness was reduced by half.
Yi Zhongshen's face was pale, his cool eyes swept over Gu Sheng, and finally fell on the slightly stiff Bo Xiyun.
"What are you doing?"
