CHAPTER XXXVII
Xiao Ximing pursed his lips and said meaningfully: "So happy, very good, I don't have to worry about the place where I wait will scare you!" After saying that, he started the car and left.
Feeling that there was something in his words, Mo Jingjing stopped laughing, turned her head to look at his Ruyu Ze face, which was more perfect under the projection of the street lamp, and asked suspiciously, "Where are we going?" It's nine o'clock. ”
Xiao Ximing was still hanging on to her, and after turning around steadily, he said, "Don't worry, I'll be here soon."
Seeing that he had to sell Guan Zi and not tell himself, Mo Jingjing was not in a hurry, that is, he would be safe when he came! He simply leaned back in his chair and turned his head to look out the window at the rapidly receding scenery.
Ten minutes later, Mo Jingjing looked at the road that was becoming more and more familiar, and couldn't help it: "Isn't this the way back to school?"
Xiao Ximing responded casually: "Hmm."
"Shall we go back to school?" Mo Jingjing couldn't help but be surprised, then why did they go out for a spin?
"It's not." Xiao Ximing denied but didn't explain.
"But where else can this road go except to school? It's impossible to go to the scenic spot at night, right? Mo Jingjing knew that this scenic spot was not open at night, and there were no hotels or homes on the mountain.
"Clever." Xiao Ximing gave her an unexpected answer.
Mo Jingjing was really surprised: "Huh? Really up the mountain? It's dark at night, and the gate of the scenic spot is closed early, who will open the door for us to go up? ”
Xiao Ximing said indifferently: "Don't worry, someone will naturally open the door."
Obviously, his tone was very light, but people couldn't help but feel a kind of arrogance from it.
Mo Jingjing was speechless: "......"
It's the power of capital again!
Sure enough, after the car passed through the Beigao Gate and went straight along the greenway for a few minutes, Mo Jingjing saw that the gate of the scenic spot, which should have been silent, was brightly lit at this time, and the gate was also wide open.
The car slowly stopped at the gate, and several people in the security room at the door saw the car and immediately walked out quickly and walked towards the car. The leader was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, followed by six young men in security uniforms.
Xiao Ximing didn't get out of the car, but just lowered the window a few inches and looked at the few people standing respectfully outside the window.
As soon as he saw the window down, the manager immediately bent down and showed a flattering professional smile to the people in the car, but when he saw the girl in the passenger seat, the smile froze for a moment, but immediately retracted his gaze very smoothly, and pulled the frozen smile back on, not daring to take another look.
The manager said respectfully to Xiao Ximing: "Xiao Shao, you are here, I will turn on the street lights of the mountain road immediately, but the mountain road is bent, do you need someone to open the road for you?"
Generally speaking, the street lights in the scenic spot will not be turned on easily at night, and can only be turned on in an emergency, such as searching and rescuing lost tourists.
Xiao Ximing turned a blind eye to his flattery and said coldly: "No, just turn on the light."
"Yes, yes, it's just that the signal on the mountain is sometimes not very good, please be sure to bring this pair of walkie-talkies, and if you need anything, you can tell us at any time." The cold man didn't care about him, and still smiled and put the walkie-talkie respectfully on his hands.
Xiao Ximing took it this time very face-saving and put it aside, ignoring the people outside the car, coldly closed the car window, and drove along the mountain road where the lights had been turned on.
For the first time, Mo Jingjing understood the word "money" so intuitively, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a loser!"
Xiao Ximing glanced at her out of the corner of his eye: "Loser? Do you know why Beigao was built at the foot of the mountain? ”
"Why?" Isn't it because of the power of the Xiao family?
Xiao Ximing said: "Because the development rights of the entire mountain belong to the Xiao family."
His tone was still flat, as if he was saying something very ordinary.
Mo Jingjing: "......"
Ooh! She always thought that this scenic spot was developed by the government! So he's not a loser, he's just playing on his own turf!
The car drove on the winding mountain road for more than ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain, parked the car and put out the fire, Xiao Ximing said: "It's here."
Mo Jingjing unbuckled her seat belt, followed him out of the car, and looked around, the empty top of the mountain was just the two of them, and in addition to the sound of insects, there was a creepy gurgling sound from time to time in the distance. I know it's a bird's call, but every time I hear it, she still can't help but panic, especially the horror clips she just watched are still uncontrollable and float through her mind from time to time, this feeling is really indescribable!
Mo Jingjing tried her best to walk smoothly towards Xiao Ximing, who was opening the rear trunk to get something, and pretended to be flat and asked, "What are we going to do when we go up the mountain at night?"
"Moon-watching." Xiao Ximing replied without raising his head, lifting a long black cloth bag in one hand and a high stool in the other before standing up straight.
"Moon-watching?!" Mo Jingjing's voice rose uncontrollably, and her eyes couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Only then did she realize that the moon tonight was very bright, large and round, and seemed to be much larger than usual, and I don't know if it was her delusion, she always felt that the color of the moon seemed to be a little red. Is it because it's closer to the top of the mountain?
Xiao Ximing also glanced up at Na Mingyue: "The time is just right, don't you watch the news?" Tonight is a total lunar eclipse, and it's a blood moon, which can be seen from all over the country, and of course the view from above is better. ”
After saying that, he closed the rear trunk and walked towards the top with his things.
She really hasn't read much news in the past two days, and she has been worrying about Dad Mo for a while, and she really doesn't know about it. Mo Jingjing followed behind him step by step while thinking.
However, it didn't take three minutes to go uphill, but Mo Jingjing walked out of breath, on the other hand, Xiao Ximing was carrying things in both hands, and the things didn't look light, but they didn't even mess up their breath.
When he arrived at the place, Mo Jingjing was still there to inhale and calm down, but he had already opened the bag and started to fiddle with it skillfully, but it was quickly set up in a blink of an eye, and Mo Jingjing knew that it was a telescope.
It seemed that he had come prepared, but after standing for less than two minutes after ......, he felt mosquitoes buzzing around him, Mo Jingjing sighed, and asked without much hope: "Xiao Shao, did you think about mosquito prevention before you went up the mountain?"
Don't believe that the romantic plots of stargazing on the top of the mountain in idol dramas are all deceitful, especially in this kind of still stuffy weather, she doesn't believe that under the siege of a group of buzzing mosquitoes, there are still people who can be romantic!
Hearing her question, Xiao Ximing's hand fiddling with the telescope paused slightly, and a rare trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, but then he immediately said casually: "It's good to ask them to send some mosquito coils."
Mo Jingjing: "......, okay, what about the walkie-talkie?" I wonder if these employees who have to work overtime at night will be depressed to death?
