"Wow, Uncle Chen, don't be too hard on yourself!" Kong Zhou's anxious voice came from behind, Chen Ci's shoulder was held down by someone, and he was firmly fixed on the bow of the boat, preventing him from jumping off the boat. dangerous action.He turned around and saw Mr. Qin shaking his head at him with a disapproving expression.

Chen Ci knew that he was too impulsive.The fishing boat is still 30 to [-] meters away from the coastline. Although the water temperature in the sea is not below zero, it is enough for him to soak for a few minutes.As soon as he hesitated, the people on the shore packed up their fishing gear, took the salmon they had just caught, and boarded an off-road vehicle.

Kong Zhou slapped Mr. Qin's thick arm away, complained a few words, and then carefully said to Chen Ci, "Uncle Chen..."

"I saw him."

Kong Zhou asked in astonishment, "Who? Kong Yiyi" Before he finished speaking, Mr. Qin covered his mouth, his face flushed.

Chen Ci looked at the direction in which the off-road vehicle was leaving, and gave a absent-minded hum.

His anxiety was clearly written on his face.Mr. Qin put his arms around Kong Zhou's shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "If you need help, just say it." Kong Zhou disliked him for speaking too coldly, and said, "Yes, Uncle Chen, we also have a branch in North America. You need to find someone to apply for a certificate, everything is convenient."

Chen Ci thanked them politely, and got off the boat silently after the fishing boat docked.There were still traces of fishing on the shore, Chen Ci knelt down and picked up a fish scale that was still stained with blood.The surface of the fish scales was sticky, and he slipped his hand with one mistake of two fingers.Kong Zhou and the two watched worriedly, but they didn't know how to comfort them.Chen Ci has been chasing and running for so many years, and he has traveled almost all over the world, and he often returns disappointed, with a haggard description.They watched him become emaciated and decadent, like an oil lamp gradually burning out, no matter how gorgeous the glass cover outside was, it could not conceal the decay inside.

"I'm fine." Chen Ci wiped off the blood on his fingers, looked up and said, "He doesn't want to see me, I already knew."

Over the years, the scale of his company has continued to expand, and countless branches have been opened, but his address has never changed.He lived in the city where he met Chen Mi, in that villa with long memories. If Chen Mi wanted to look for him, he could easily find him.

When Chen Mi didn't come, he knew he didn't want to see him anymore.Now that he got the news, he came after him, and Chen Mi didn't have to wait for him deliberately, let alone take his feelings into consideration.When you like it, it is natural that there are thousands of good things, and you will agree to all kinds of conditions. If you don't like it, it means that the bridge returns to the bridge, the bridge returns, the encounter, the nodding acquaintance.

He is the one who is not reconciled, and he is also the one who is unwilling to let go, so it is only natural that he suffers a little bit for this.

The North American Branch of the Exorcist Association called a car for them, and it stopped by the coast.Kong Zhou drove Mr. Qin to the front row, and he and Chen Ci sat in the back seat.He took out the information and said convincingly, "Chen...he has quite a large stall in North America, and his daily activities can basically be delineated in several major cities. Look, let's drive to the nearby state Y first, Fly again..."

Kong Zhou talked endlessly, and Chen Ci occasionally nodded, but he didn't know how much he really listened to.

Kong Zhou glanced at his expression, put down the information, and said cheerfully, "We'll talk about this tomorrow! The surname Qin found someone to book a homestay nearby for tonight. It's on the edge of a fir forest. I heard that the owner also has a sled dog. "

Mr. Qin turned around and said, "Call me by name."

"Bah." Kong Zhou grimaced, turned to Chen Ci and said, "Smile, Uncle Chen, we can take a sleigh! You can also go ice fishing, and if you're lucky, you can watch..."

"Remind you, we're only staying one night."

Kong Zhou was immediately discouraged, lay down on the seat and patted the head of Mr. Qin in the front row, and then yelled loudly after being grabbed, desperately begging for mercy.

Chen Ci vaguely recalled that when he, Chen Mi, and Kong Zhou were sitting in the same car, Kong Zhou was the one who chatted up to him, leaving Chen Mi alone by the side.But at this time, he should feel much better than Chen Mi at the beginning, at least he doesn't like Kong Zhou, and he doesn't like Mr. Qin, at most, he feels lonely in that kind of intimacy that can't be penetrated.

The car moved away from the coast and stopped after a while of bumpy driving.

There is a two-storey wooden house beside a large continuous fir forest, with a single spire, and the outer wall is only painted with varnish. The color of the log looks very compatible with the surrounding environment.Kong Zhou opened the car door and jumped down, his foot stuck in the snow and almost fell, but was warmly hugged by the landlord who came out to greet him.

The landlord is a man in his 50s and [-]s. His body size may not be considered obese in North America, but he is still too heavy for Kong Zhou.His cheeks were flushed as if he was drunk, his hairline was quite high, he spoke with a thick accent, and was very talkative. Holding Kong Zhou in his arms was like a good brother, and Mr. Qin, who got out of the car later, turned black instantly.

Mr. Qin pulled Kong Zhou out of the landlord's arms like a carrot, pulled him to his side, and talked with him in fluent English.From their conversations, Chen Ci knew that the landlord had been doing engineering work in State Y in his early years. He was found to have liver problems when he was over 40 years old, and he could not stay up late frequently. He simply resigned and lived here. , When I have something to do, I will play with individual guests, and when I have nothing to do, I will go ice fishing with big bags and small bags alone, so uncomfortable.

Kong Zhou became envious when he heard it, and praised it in half English.

Chen Ci looked at the fir forest nearby and the snow top in the distance, and it was rare for him to have the same thoughts as him.The snow has not melted for many years, which makes it look a bit cold and pale, but it is better than calm, and it is good to spend many springs and autumns under the snow quilt.

"I booked two rooms..." Mr. Qin said leisurely when the three of them followed the landlord into the wooden house and lowered their heads to change their shoes.

Before Chen Ci said anything, Kong Zhou frowned on the spot, "You're too picky!"

Mr. Qin couldn't bear the disturbance, his forehead was twitching, and he said, "There are only three rooms for rent, and one room has already been rented out for a long time. What else do you want?"

Kong Zhou immediately hugged Chen Ci's arm, "Then I will live with Uncle Chen!"

"Stop making trouble." Chen Ci saw that their relationship felt like a child's play house. Kong Zhou was very easy to talk to others, but he seemed to have eaten a gunpowder barrel when he was facing Mr. Qin, and would explode from time to time. .However, the two never broke up.

Other people's relationships are so smooth, it may be rare for him and Chen Mi to torment each other like this.

He pulled Kong Zhou's arm away, pushed him into Mr. Qin's arms, and took the key from the entrance to go upstairs.The three rooms were arranged in a zigzag shape. The two they ordered were on the side of the aisle, and the other was on the opposite side. The door was closed, and the tenant might not have come back yet.He opened his room, threw the key on the bed, and fell down on his head.

After tossing and turning for a long time, and maybe less than half an hour to actually sleep, Chen Ci walked to the window with his drowsy head, and opened the curtain to look at the sky.

It was already pitch black outside, and the icy light could be seen from the peak of the snow mountain from a distance. There were two street lamps standing in the snow outside the wooden house. The soft orange light was gentle, illuminating the finely falling snow sand in midair.

The headlights of an off-road vehicle suddenly turned on, breaking the peaceful scene outside the window.Chen Ci saw the appearance of the off-road vehicle clearly, and hurriedly turned and opened the door.

Kong Zhou was standing at the door, scratching his head and laughing, "Uncle Chen, are you awake? Wilson asked us to go down for dinner."

Chen Ci nodded, and quickly walked downstairs, stomping on the wooden stairs.

Calm down, it's just the same model, it may not be him.But his heart was beating fast enough to burst out of his chest.Walking downstairs, Mr. Qin had already sat down at the dining table. The strong fire made the living room extremely warm. The landlord Wilson opened a bottle of ice wine. Seeing him coming downstairs, he toasted him and invited him to sit down as soon as possible.

"What's wrong?" Sensing Chen Ci's strangeness, Mr. Qin stood up.

Chen Ci hesitated to speak, when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Wilson put down the wine bottle, strode to the door, and explained to them that the other two tenants should have returned.

Before Chen Ci could get ready, the door was opened, and a person in bright red winter clothes walked in through the door covered in wind and snow.Behind him was a tall blond woman with a hot figure that couldn't be covered by thick clothes, and the little bird wrapped around him comfortably.Anyone with a discerning eye knew the relationship between the two at a glance, and Wilson even laughed and played colorful jokes with them.

Chen Ci stood between the corridor and the living room, not knowing where to go.

Kong Zhou came downstairs, but he didn't see the two people who entered the door. He asked Chen Ci curiously, "Uncle Chen, why are you still standing here?"

Mr. Qin pressed his shoulders, twisted him around, and made him face the door.

"This...this is..."

Chen Mi took off the sunglasses to prevent snow blindness, nodded to the two, and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Six people living in a log house had a dreary supper.During the period, the landlord Wilson repeatedly wanted to break the awkward atmosphere, but unfortunately the three of them Chen Ci did not cooperate, and only the blonde beauty occasionally spoke to him.

Chen Ci forked the roast beef on the plate, and while listening to their conversation, he thought, oh, so they have lived here for more than a month.They went out to catch salmon today, and by the way, they also hunted two snow rabbits in the woods...

Crash.Halfway through the meal, Chen Mi pushed away the plate, got up and said, "I'm leaving first, please take your time."

The blond beauty then got up, and Wilson winked and gestured at them, and said a slang word to everyone at the table, to the effect that the spring night is too short to cherish it.It's a pity that none of the remaining people laughed with him.

"I'm done eating too." Chen Ci got up and said.The beef on his dinner plate looked different from being poked, but he didn't take a bite.

Back upstairs, the opposite door has been closed.

Chen Ciqiang resisted the urge to smash the door, stood at the door and lingered for a moment before returning to his own room.He lay back on the bed, and after a while he walked to the door irritably, tilting his ears, as if he wanted to hear if there was any movement at the opposite door.

It was so quiet that he felt flustered, but thinking that he might hear something sweet if he continued to listen...he didn't dare to listen any more.

It's normal, it's normal.Chen Ci poured a glass of cold water, poured it with his head up, and comforted himself, saying that Chen Mi has been away from him for so long, and he can't always be without someone by his side.

Chen Ci slammed the glass cup onto the ground, and the tea splashed all over the floor.

Fuck it.He couldn't do it at all, not to mention seeing Chen Mi flirting with others, even thinking about it, he would not be able to bear the nightmare again and again.

His chest heaved violently, and he felt that his weakened nerves were about to be overwhelmed.When he bent down to pick up the water glass, the door was knocked lightly.Chen Ci hastily kicked the water glass to the bottom of the bed, covered the water-stained floor with a blanket beside him, packed up his shirt, took out his mobile phone and looked at his hairstyle at the front camera, and then opened the door.

"Hello." The blond beauty leaned against the door, quite coquettishly, "May I ask what happened to you? I heard..."

It was not the person she wanted to see, Chen Ci interrupted her mercilessly, "It's okay, I accidentally dropped a cup."

The blond beauty's expression was vivid and beautiful, "Oh, that's good. Chen and I are a little worried, it's best if nothing happens."

"Wait." Chen Ci called to stop her.

It was a bit difficult to say, but he really wanted to ask clearly. "What kind of relationship do you have with him?"

The blonde beauty frowned at him for a while, then grinned, with a playful expression on her face, "Oh no, we're just friends. You know, that kind of friend."

Her words made Chen Ci sleepless all night.

In the middle of the night, he heard the wind outside the window suddenly become more intense, roaring and whimpering, like the sound of a demon.I got out of bed and opened the curtains to see that the sky was full of wind and snow as far as my eyes could see. One of the street lamps was broken, and the remaining one was isolated in the wind and snow for a moment, and then went out silently.

This was a blizzard that suddenly hit the whole of Alaska, and it seemed to be unable to stop for a while.

Early the next morning, Wilson broke the news to them.The road was blocked by snow overnight, and they may have to live here for a while.This optimistic North American man has no fear when talking about the snowstorm, saying that his family has stored enough canned food and clean water, enough for them to wait until the snow melts one day.And now that the wind and snow are taking a break, if the residents feel bored, they can go to the hot spring not far away.

"Natural." Wilson smiled meaningfully. "It can do many things."
