Chapter 1054 East of Timing (5)

(BGM——"Track in Time" Dennis Kuo, I wish everyone a happy New Year)

The deer path leading to the top of the mountain is always full of thorns, and the boiling blood makes young climbers unwilling to waste a little time on the way.Everyone is eager to climb to the top, eager to stand at the highest point, to occupy the supreme scenery, but ignores the verdant and whirling eucalyptus trees and fragrant and graceful flowers on the way.Zhou Ling will not, his dream is very light, he measures life with his footsteps, so he cares more about those flowers and trees, mountains and wind that are easy to be missed. —— "The East of Time Series", Nanxi.

--------------------------

At 27:110 in the evening, Air China’s CA[-] from Xiangjiang to Beijing began to descend. When the stewardess announced the alternate landing reminder, Cheng Mo put away the "Science" magazine in his hand and turned to look at Athena. She was still serious. I was reading the "Time Series East" I just bought.

Cheng Mo glanced at the corner of the page, she only read 21 pages in more than three hours, but the new book she just bought has already been drawn countless horizontal lines by Athena, and the gaps between the pages are also filled with square small letters .Cheng Mo turned his head slightly to look at it, obviously because the author of this book was very particular about his choice of words and sentences, and Athena couldn't understand some of the rare words, idioms and imagery descriptions he used.And Athena never liked to ask people, but was used to finding answers by herself, which led to her slow reading speed.

Seeing Athena lowering her eyes and seriously writing "the path where the deer walks" above the word "Lu Qi", Cheng Mo felt sweet in her heart.

A woman is willing to give up a stable and rich life for you, and she is willing to study another language and characters for you. This makes Cheng Mo deeply feel a kind of unique tenderness. He has always felt that Athena is related to "gentleness", Words such as "virtuousness" and "virtue" have nothing to do with it. Seeing her carefully write notes on the book, he felt that the woman beside him had an extraordinary gentleness that he had never experienced before.

Cheng Mo's eyes became soft because of this. He stared at Athena's focused side face. The orange light of the reading lamp jumped on Athena's golden eyelashes and hair. It was a fascinating scene, the sound of the engine became more and more muffled in the ear, and Cheng Mo's eyes gradually shifted from Athena's face to the wildflower-like lights swaying in the mountains.

I don't know if it's the feeling of weightlessness from falling, or the strange emotion of returning home after so many years.In front of him, the lights flowing in the streets and alleys, and the lights flickering among the stars, turned into a colorful swirl.

Cheng Mo watched the Capital Airport getting bigger and bigger immersed in the bright lights, and suddenly felt that he was just a backtracking fish, diving from the ocean into the river of birth.

"Bang~~~!" With a sound, the tire hit the ground heavily, everything in front of me shook, and the sweet voice of the stewardess sounded again.

"Ladies and gentlemen: the plane has landed at Beijing Capital Airport, the temperature outside is minus three degrees Celsius, and the plane is taxiing"

When those two familiar and unfamiliar characters jumped into his eyes, Cheng Mo felt an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart. He remembered that he left here at the end of 2020, and now 1152 days have passed.During this period, too many things happened, which made him far away from the life he expected, and he is still lingering in the chaos.Although he can say what he wants now, he has never gained inner peace.

Perhaps, all this is because of the girl who was born here.

Cheng Mo originally thought that returning to China would be nothing to him, and that there would be no disturbance in his heart, but at the moment when he really landed, he felt a little apprehensive, sad and at ease.

The impact of this complex emotion on the soul was unexpected to Cheng Mo. He thought that he might not let go of everything in the past. The sweetness of the past is his current shackles, but he is used to the existence of shackles, and even took the initiative to let go of the shackles. An impenetrable lock was put on the shackles.

"Mr. Lin and Ms. Cheng, the plane has come to a complete stop, and you two can get off the plane."

Cheng Mo came back to his senses when he heard the stewardess' soft voice. He turned his head and said "thank you" to the beautiful stewardess who was kneeling in the aisle, and then patted Athena who was still reading a book. Athena Comprehending it, she quickly put the book, pen and her electronic dictionary into the Crayon Shin-chan backpack Cheng Mo gave her, unfastened her seat belt and stood up.

They were the only two passengers in the entire first-class cabin, and Cheng Mo and Athena got off the plane ahead of schedule under the watchful eyes of the stewardess.Walking into the silent covered bridge, the advertisements on both sides are all in Chinese, which gave Cheng Mo a sense of intimacy.The broadcast sounded in the distance, and he listened carefully, but only heard the whispers of the stewardess, saying that he had never seen such a delicate and perfect foreign girl.When they walked out of the bridge, several stewardesses standing at the door of the cabin were still discussing why Athena’s name was “Cheng Ya”, guessing whether she was of mixed race, and saying that the princess-like girl was actually carrying a Crayon Shin-chan schoolbag, It's just too bad.

The flight attendant's gossip made Cheng Mo helpless, thinking of the Chinese name "Cheng Ya" that Athena gave herself, Cheng Mo smiled knowingly.

Athena looked at Cheng Mo strangely, as if asking, "What are you laughing at?"

Cheng Mo raised his hand to hold Athena, only to realize that he could not hold her hand casually without her permission, so he could only put it down in embarrassment. Is Dong" good-looking?"

"Probably because I have never read the novel, it is more interesting than I imagined," Athena said, "It's just that I don't quite understand what the meaning of "East of Time Series" is? I checked the dictionary, 'Time Series' It means 'the sequence of seasonal changes', and I can still understand the 'winter of time series', but I don't quite understand the 'East' which represents the direction."

Cheng Mo said disapprovingly: "Many authors nowadays like to pretend to be profound, and combine some phrases of 'the wind and the horse are irrelevant' together, as long as it sounds lofty. In China, some lyrics are insane to rhyme. It's outrageous. What I remember most is a song whose lyrics are written like this: "I want to take you to romantic Turkey, and then go to Tokyo and Paris together. Actually, I especially like Miami and Los Angeles with black people." "Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders, "If this author is in Los Angeles, he will definitely be shot to death by black people on the street."

"Wait, you're saying it again, the previous one."

"Idiom?" Cheng Mo asked, "It's irrelevant, insane and outrageous?"

Athena nodded, and quickly took out her electronic dictionary with Crayon Shinchan stickers from her Crayon Shinchan schoolbag, and from Cheng Mo's mouth, "irrelevant", "deranged" and "disgusting" I picked out the three words "Fazhi", and asked "Gaodashang" again, recorded it, and the two walked to the customs.So the discussion about "Time Series East" came to an abrupt end.

The first-class cabin can go through a special passage without queuing, Cheng Mo is still a little uneasy.In order to facilitate the return to China, Athena used the method of injecting a new type of absorbable hyaluronic acid before taking the ID photo a few days ago to help Chengmo pinch his facial features and contours again.Now Cheng Mo has a straight nose and a sharper chin than before. Compared with his ordinary appearance before, Cheng Mo is much more handsome, but Cheng Mo is still a little worried that he will be recognized by facial recognition, which makes him regret not giving Bai Xiuxiu the information in advance. say hi.

Maybe it was Gao Yuemei's incident that made him not know how to face Bai Xiuxiu, that's why he was so entangled.Fortunately, he successfully passed the facial recognition and was not invited into the small black room, which made Cheng Mo heave a sigh of relief.

After passing the customs and picking up their luggage, Cheng Mo took Athena straight to the gate of the airport, turned on his mobile phone and contacted the driver sent by the hotel to pick them up, and boarded the new Hongqi L5 that had been waiting for a long time in the cold winter wind of Beijing. An hour later, they We stayed at the Aman Hotel in the Summer Palace.

What Cheng Mo chose was the most expensive "Golden and Jade Imperial Court" at Aman in the Summer Palace. It belongs to the place where the distinguished guests who visited the Empress Dowager Cixi used to stay and has a history of more than [-] years.Not only are the household items used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties style, but some individual items such as wooden screens and decorative green bamboo curtains are out-and-out old items, but the decoration is very new, simple and elegant.

In addition, this [-]-night suite also has a large courtyard.Begonias and cherry blossoms are planted in the courtyard. This season, there is only one dry branch of the tree. In the cold winter months, the courtyard is even more quiet and deep. Sitting on the porch or standing in the courtyard, you can see the pavilions of the Summer Palace. The scenery and decoration are undoubtedly excellent. is top notch.

Athena is not particularly particular about where she lives, as long as it is clean, so she is not very interested in this century-old building. After entering the room, she sits at the huanghuali wood desk and begins to read books tirelessly.On the contrary, Cheng Mo walked around the huge "Golden and Jade Palace" with great interest.

In addition to the bedroom and the spacious living space, the entire Royal Court also has a large spa room and a private dining room that can accommodate more than ten people.Cheng Mo lingered for a while, and then walked into the courtyard. The weather in the capital city in January was cold, and the new wind howled on the dry branches and glazed tiles. Dancing with the wind on the bamboo curtain.

Cheng Mo walked around the courtyard, browsed the corners of the tree-top pavilions in the Summer Palace, and then stood under the porch under the light and shadow swaying with the cold wind, looking southeast involuntarily.Maybe he wanted to see the huge white tower standing not far from Shuimu Tsinghua University, but he could only see the floating lights hidden in the darkness in the distance.

He just stared quietly like this, feeling the subtle changes between light and darkness that ordinary people can hardly detect.

Even though he has never been a person who likes to say "what if", he couldn't help thinking, if he and Xie Minyun hadn't gone to Europa at that time, what would happen now?Maybe at this time Xie Minyun has graduated and is a graduate student, and he should also be preparing his graduation thesis.Because I have read two subjects, I must be very busy!But that kind of busyness must be a very happy busyness. They must no longer live in the school, and they may have lived a happy cohabitation life.I wonder if the radio telescope at home has been updated?Of course they will, they will not be satisfied with just being a binoculars for fun.Xie Minyun is not only obsessed with cleanliness but also tidying up. She will definitely keep the house clean and tidy. She doesn't eat much. I guess there is no fireworks in the house.
Cheng Mo was just thinking about "what if", and he didn't return to the house until his hands and feet were cold. He grabbed the golden doorknob and slowly closed the vermilion door, the bleak wind and the stiff chill were also isolated from the door , that ethereal and sweet dream was shut out at the same time, leaving only the faint sound of the city's breath.

The moment he closed the door, he closed his eyes, and the world seemed to be briefly stopped.

"Long time no see." He whispered to the closed vermilion lacquered door, as if standing outside the door was a friend who wanted to see but couldn't.

————————————————————

Cheng Mo returned to the living room, which was as warm as spring. The bleak and lonely courtyard outside the wooden lattice window formed a sharp contrast with the warm and harmonious atmosphere inside, which made people feel warm.Athena was sitting on a simple improved official hat chair and reading a book. There was a pot of red Phalaenopsis on the table. It was probably because of the fragrance of the flowers. The air was not stuffy, and there was an unexpected sense of freshness.

Cheng Mo stepped on the cashmere carpet and walked to the desk. Athena was translating vocabulary with an "electronic dictionary" that has both translation and teaching functions. He smiled and said, "You remind me of the time when I read texts when I was a child."

"Read the text?"

Cheng Mo nodded, "When we were in Chinese class, we would study some masterpieces by famous authors. Some particularly wonderful texts not only need to be understood, but also required to be recited in full." After a pause, he continued, "Maybe you should start with simpler and more classic Some novels look like"

"This book is quite good. I can generally understand it, but there are many words and metaphors that need to be looked up. In fact, before reading this novel, I didn't have much feeling for the beauty of Chinese. I just thought Chinese is very simple. Remember Just two or three thousand words is enough to read and read newspapers, unlike English, where you have to memorize [-] to [-] words to read and read newspapers smoothly, for example, if I want to read papers, I need more vocabulary.”

Cheng Mo smiled, "In terms of information volume, a two-dimensional language like Chinese is much better than a one-dimensional language like English, but in terms of accuracy, English is much more accurate than Chinese, and it is not easy to cause mistakes. .”

Athena nodded, "Yes, although Chinese is good for learning and dissemination, giving people room for imagination, but the amount of information loss is too large, which is not conducive to precise research. So before, I thought English was superior to Chinese, but now From the point of view of literature, Chinese is much more beautiful than English, because of the Chinese vocabulary." She looked up at Cheng Mo from the dense light, as if Cheng Mo should know what she was thinking, and asked naturally, "What should I say?"

"General, abstract, freehand." Cheng Mo stopped and explained the meaning of these three words to Athena in English. When Athena wrote these three words in the book, he said, "If you speak English If it is a realistic painting school, then Chinese is more like an impressionist painting school. You can feel the inner feelings of the painter more than 100 years ago through the changes of light and shadow. This feeling really exists, but it is an extremely imagery Just like the pinnacle of Western American literature, Samuel's famous prose "Youth" crafted with extremely gorgeous words, Youth means a temporal predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease . This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals It usually appears in a 60-year-old man, not a 20-year-old boy. No one grows old with age, we grow old by giving up our ideals). Look at the ancient Chinese poems that describe the same meaning , Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine", don't you see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. Don't you see it, the mirror in the high hall is sad and white, and the morning is like blue silk and snow in the evening. Life is full of joy, don't make gold The bottle is empty and the moon is born. I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone. From these two descriptions of "Youth", I can intuitively experience the difference between English and Chinese. Not only the unique structure of Chinese is beautiful, it It is also good at giving people room for imagination and pouring the author's emotions directly into the text, which is difficult to do in English no matter what the genre is. And the beauty of Chinese is not only to provide people with a broader world of imagination, But it also has the beauty of structure, which is completely unmatched by other languages. Of course, this may also be caused by cultural differences between the East and the West.”

"I haven't read many literary works, so I don't know much about them, but in terms of vocabulary, Chinese is much richer than English. There are many words with different meanings just to describe women's figures, such as: slim and graceful, slim, tall and straight , Slim and graceful."

Cheng Mo looked down at Athena's fertile mountains and fields on the table, coughed and said, "What is this, there are longer ones." He stared at Athena's white jade-like skin, and softly recited, "Own Xue Chengfeng, with fragrant fragrance as dew, like double pearls, I want to play with the bun for the first time, Xu Long gradually rises, frequently tied red socks, seems to be there but still not, the hair of the bean is hard to describe, the chicken head is like a chicken head, the autumn water is the white jade skin of the god, and I know it No? If you ask about the feeling, you will be enlightened. Luo Yi’s solution looks like a picture, and the two points of beauty are the most reliable. It looks like a flower pistil next to it, with a slightly uniform tortoise shell. On the high part of Yushan, there are small coral decorations. After bathing, cover it first, and the skirt is loose. Fade away, standing silver red on the back and panting. Whoever suffers, remember that Ah Hou was asleep, and once called Lang."

"My God, it's like a heavenly book." Athena stroked her forehead, "Thinking of the many ancient Chinese poems and countless idioms, I feel that it is really not easy to learn Chinese well."

"Actually, there's no need to learn that deeply. Your current Chinese is quite sufficient."

"But what you said just now, I don't understand at all!" Athena frowned and asked, "There isn't a word in it that has something to do with figure, right?"

Cheng Mo coughed and said, "Chinese is profound and profound, and it's still too early for you to really understand it." He shrugged his shoulders, "However, you can learn this in a year, so what's your dissatisfaction?"

Athena didn't ask Cheng Mo what he said, but tapped the "East of Time Series" full of notes with the pen in her hand, "At least you have to be able to understand this book without any obstacles, so that you can be regarded as a good learner."

Cheng Mo lowered his head and glanced at the books spread out under the desk lamp. The names of the people who appeared most on it were "Zhou Ling" and "Si Caiwei", "We young women in literature and art in China like to find some strange and rare surnames to name our characters. For example, this 'Si', in fact, very few people in China have the surname 'Si'. In ancient times, this word means 'husband's sister-in-law or older concubine, or a name for sister." Cheng Mo's eyes were on It seemed that the male protagonist named "Zhou Ling" was in a daze for a line. He saw the male protagonist calling the other party "teacher"?
"What about 'Caiwei'? What does it mean?" Athena asked.

Cheng Mo took his eyes back, "The name 'Caiwei' comes from a collection of poems called "The Book of Songs" in ancient China. There is an allusion, which refers to the proud and reclusive life. The little princes Shuqi and Boyi of the Guzhu Kingdom were unwilling to eat the food of the Zhou Kingdom after the country was destroyed, and they ate all of them by picking weeds, so they starved to death on Shouyang Mountain. In addition, 'picking weeds' also missed their hometown But I guess the author must have taken the former meaning, because the male protagonist’s surname is ‘Zhou’, it must be deliberate, so the name is very interesting, very charming, very meaningful, it’s just the name of the heroine It doesn’t look like a novel about the Chosen One, but rather like an old saying about cultivating immortals.”

"I only know that it comes from the "Book of Songs", but I didn't expect there to be such a content in it!"

"Chinese authors are particularly keen on playing word games."

Cheng Mo was just about to ask what kind of person the leading actor "Zhou Ling" is, when he heard Athena say, "There is also the word 'elegant' for me in the Book of Songs."

"You are not the only word for 'Ya'. The Book of Songs is divided into three parts: 'Feng', 'Ya', and 'Song'. 'Ya' is further divided into 'Xiaoya' and 'Daya'. The word not only means "elegant, elegant", but also the same as "crow", referring to a bird like a crow, but it is no longer used as a "crow". In "Book of Songs", "Ya" is one of the six meanings, At the same time, it is also the name of a musical instrument and wine vessel. Many Chinese people don’t know it well. In fact, you don’t need to worry about it. Just understand its main meaning. One Chinese word may contain too many meanings, which also causes Chinese information to be transmitted. Inaccurate, so reading English papers is sometimes much easier than reading Chinese papers.”

Speaking of the word 'Ya', Cheng Mo's attention shifted from the protagonist in the book to the difference between Chinese and English.

After discussing with Athena for a while, Cheng Mo put down his exploration of "Time Series East", took a laptop and sat on the opposite desk, and began to send emails to Shishi and Xienji Benimaru through the secret mailbox.Xishi lurks in Shanghai, waiting for Cheng Mo's call at any time, while Xiyuansi Hongwan goes to the Republic of Dahan, saying that he wants to recruit Li Shixian into his gang.

Then he finished the work with the Black Death software, called Khalid and Mohammed Ovis, and learned about the situation in Syria, Cheng Mo took a deep breath, Sent an email to Bai Xiuxiu.
-----------------------

On the first day back to Huaxia, for some reason, Cheng Mo woke up very early. When he opened his eyes, he felt his right eyelid twitching. Jumping for money, right eyelid jumping for disaster".Thinking of this sentence, an inexplicable Cheng Mo had an unlucky premonition in his heart.

He stared wide-eyed at the exposed beam above his head, stopping his eyelids from twitching.At this moment, Athena, who was sleeping next to her, suddenly threw off the quilt and jumped up from the wide bed, kicking towards the void at the end of the bed.

"It's really a disaster?" Cheng Mo was startled, and sat up. He opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak, when he saw the sun shining on Athena through the window. Standing in a ballet-like posture in the light golden halo of the early morning, the light blue silk nightdress slowly slid down on Athena's straight and slender jade legs, revealing her smooth and jade-like legs, It really made Cheng Mo have to lament the Creator's preference.

If it wasn't for the faint streamer floating on Athena's toes, Cheng Mo felt that he could spend this morning playing with Athena's graceful long legs.It can be seen that the faint streamer trembles like radiation waves, and the radiation waves undulate in the invisible human silhouette, as if someone is hiding in the air.

The shadow emerged, but the ominous premonition fell into reality.

"Could it be Sister Bai?" Cheng Mo rolled his throat, thinking regretfully: "I'm hasty, I didn't expect Bai Xiuxiu to come so fast, and so early, I should have known that I shouldn't sleep in the same bed with Athena." After thinking about it, he thought again, "Why am I afraid that Sister Bai will see me sleeping in the same bed with my wife? Isn't this deceiving? I should just say something more confidently?"

Athena stared at the colorful stripes on the toes that shone like radiating waves, squinted her eyes, and stood in the air with her right leg motionless, but her slender and soft waist twisted. A lotus blossomed out of the blue nightdress, and her left foot Later, it blew into the air like a crescent sickle.

Before the white lotus-like jade feet arrived, the sound of the wind echoed in the bedroom, and there was a "bang" sound in the void between lightning and flint, and a milky white figure completely appeared at the end of the bed, wearing a white Taiji suit. The slender woman in dragon uniform blocked Athena's menacing kick, and slashed Athena's abdomen with a knife in her hand.

Athena crossed her hands and tried to stop the powerful slash, but the opponent's strength seemed to exceed her expectations, and she was bent over by the pressure, as if she was bending down, almost falling on the bed.

"Don't hit me yet" Cheng Mo just said, when he saw Athena fell on the bed, raised her long legs and kicked Bai Xiuxiu's chin again.

Probably hearing Cheng Mo's voice, Bai Xiuxiu took a step back to pass Athena's kick, allowing Athena to round her long legs and make a circle in the air.

Athena turned over, squatted on the bed in front of Cheng Mo, raised her eyes and stared closely at Bai Xiuxiu's eyes.

"Who are you?" Bai Xiuxiu's majestic voice floated in the air.

"Who are you?" Athena asked coldly.

Bai Xiuxiu said with a straight face, "Now I'm asking you."

Athena didn't want to pay attention to Bai Xiuxiu, jumped up lightly, and hit Bai Xiuxiu's face with her knee, "Whoever you are, get out of my room, knock on the door and come in again."

Bai Xiuxiu punched Athena's knee directly, "You really are a brazen brat."

Neither of them dodged, astonishing air waves erupted in the warm air, the glass windows were trembling, the furniture was shaking, even the quilt on the bed was blown up, and Cheng Mo, who was curled up at the head of the bed, stood up from under the quilt. Get up, and shake your hands eagerly at the two, "Don't hit, don't hit"

In the convergent collision, Bai Xiuxiu took two light steps back and stood in front of the table. Athena made a 360-degree turn in the air and stood at the end of the bed.

Both looked at Cheng Mo, and asked in unison, "Who is she?"

Cheng Mo covered his face and said, "She is my boss"

"Boss?" Bai Xiuxiu smiled slightly, raised her hand and nodded Cheng Mo twice.

Cheng Mo's scalp was numb, and he opened his mouth to say something, to explain.

Athena thought that Bai Xiuxiu was going to attack Cheng Mo, so she picked up the long bed stool at the end of the bed with her heel, grabbed it in her hand, swung it up and smashed it at Bai Xiuxiu's hand, and at the same time did not forget to ask: "What does the boss mean? "

Without dodging or evading, Bai Xiuxiu smashed the bed stool with her white and delicate fist, and shot Athena's chin like a sharp arrow.

Athena leaned slightly, and Bai Xiuxiu's straight fist brushed past her face, blowing her long golden hair, the blade-like wind of the fist even broke a few strands of hair, and then the fist turned into a palm, like a knife Hit her neck.

Among the sawdust flying all over the sky, Athena was a little short, supported Bai Xiuxiu's arm with her shoulders, and at the same time ran towards Bai Xiuxiu quickly.

Bai Xiuxiu hooked her feet slightly, and the table behind her was miraculously erected, blocking between the two of them.

Athena raised her foot against the table and kicked the table into the air. As soon as the table was spinning in the air, the two people exchanged fists and feet like lightning. Pushing and turning, always tossing and turning in mid-air, not falling to the ground, nor being smashed into pieces.

The fight between the two was silent, like a Huaxia martial arts routine that had been practiced countless times. Cheng Mo, who was sitting on the bed wrapped in a quilt, was terrified and shouted: "Stop the fight! Stop it! is one of our own"

"One of my own?" Athena, who was hitting Bai Xiuxiu's cheek with her elbow, paused for a moment.

"Who and this foreign devil belong to us?" For some reason, Bai Xiuxiu, who has always been exquisite in all aspects, mercilessly stepped on Athena's mountainous chest.

Athena raised her hand to defend, but because she was caught off guard and couldn't stand still, her whole body flew up halfway and hit the window. With a "bang", the glass splashed, and transparent glass shards scattered all over the floor.

The cold wind rushed in, and Cheng Mo closed his eyes in pain.

"Foreign devil?" Athena raised her hand in an attacking gesture, "Are you scolding me?"

Seeing that the fight was about to start again, Cheng Mo jumped off the bed without hesitation, stopped Athena's fist, stood between the two people and raised his hand to both of them. He first waved his hand to Athena , whispered: "No, no, Athena, this is a misunderstanding."

"Athena?" The contemptuous smile on Bai Xiuxiu's face disappeared in an instant, she stood up straight and looked at Cheng Mo, and asked blankly, "Which Athena?"

Cheng Mo immediately looked sideways at Bai Xiuxiu, forced a smile, and said, "It's the Athena you know."

"Napoleon's wife?" Bai Xiuxiu's face was filled with unbelievable astonishment, Cherry's mouth was wide open, and her eyes widened.

Cheng Mo tried to defend himself with a bitter face, but Athena said in a deep voice, "I have nothing to do with Napoleon VII. I am now Cheng Mo's wife."

"Cheng Mo's wife?" Bai Xiuxiu's expression became more and more shocked, she even closed her eyes, raised her hand and pressed her temple, "Am I dreaming?"

"No, it's not." Cheng Mo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Athena is indeed my wife now, although we haven't received a marriage certificate yet."

Bai Xiuxiu opened her eyes, looked at Cheng Mo, and then at Athena, who was as beautiful and proud as a princess. In an instant, her face was as cold as ice, "Cheng Mo, you are really overjoyed! How dare you hook up with the wife of a god general" She clenched her fist and said with a sneer, "I forgot, you bastard, you have always had a special interest in wives, right?"

Cheng Mo was tongue-tied and speechless, he quickly waved his hands and said hesitantly: "No! Sister Bai is not what you think, Sister Bai."

Athena grabbed Cheng Mo's arm and took a step forward, dragged him behind, and asked coldly, "Who are you calling a bastard?"

Bai Xiuxiu folded her hands on her chest, raised her eyebrows and said, "I scolded my subordinates, what's your business?"

"What subordinate boss?" Athena said blankly, "No matter who you are, you have no right to scold my husband."

Bai Xiuxiu frowned, and said lightly: "You haven't obtained the certificate yet, so you can't be considered a husband and wife." After a pause, she raised her chin again, and said indifferently, "Also, ask him if he is willing to be married to me." scold?"

Cheng Mo was afraid that the two would start fighting again, so he stood between the two of them again. He nodded to Bai Xiuxiu and said, "Yes, yes." Then he turned back to Athena and whispered in French, "I'm scolded!" It's nothing to say a few words, it's a tradition in China to be scolded by the boss."

"You mean she's your chief?" Athena glanced at Bai Xiuxiu, and asked in confusion, "Do you still have this tradition?
"Yes!" Cheng Mo nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and continued to speak in French, "Not only China, but also the three countries in East Asia have such a tradition. If you don't believe me, you can check it online. The Republic of Dahan and Japan are more cruel than China. , The boss makes the subordinates kneel down at every turn." He thought to himself, "There is also a female boss in a black silk OL suit who steps on her subordinates to make them kneel and apologize."

"Stop whispering." Bai Xiuxiu turned and walked towards the door, and said without emotion, "Cheng Mo, come out with me so I can explain this to me." When she reached the door, she stopped and turned her head halfway. , gave Cheng Mo and Athena a majestic look like a parent, "What's going on?"
