Cheng Mo is well versed in human psychology, especially women, and naturally knows that he can't treat women as they want, whether it is material or spiritual, not to mention that he feels from the bottom of his heart that he and Athena are not good enough to that extent. It's just that the way he interacts with people for a long time makes him unconsciously use psychological skills to get along with others, but Cheng Mo has never used psychological skills to PUA others, especially the opposite sex.

Deep down, Cheng Mo still adheres to Cheng Yongze's scholarly style, but Cheng Mo is far more realistic than his father. So he looked up at Athena, and after a long silence, he whispered, "This story is too long, it's a little late today, so let's do it next time." ”

However, Athena did not understand the essence of the Chinese word "next time" at all, and asked more seriously: "When is the next time?

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, "I don't know, probably what we need to talk about these things is not an exact point in time, but a bonfire, beer, starlight and barbecue ......."

Cheng Mo's answer was full of the spirituality of a literary youth, but this tone made Athena very uncomfortable, and even a little worried, she frowned and said: "I don't quite understand what you mean, could it be that the campfire, beer, starlight, and barbecue are a collection of elements, and only when you have all these can you tell me the story between your father and your Uroboros?"

"It's mathematically like that, but I'm expressing something very emotional. ”

Athena shook her head in disunderstanding.

Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's like you throwing away your Ulopolos, this action has absolutely nothing to do with reason, it's a very emotional behavior.....

Athena interrupted Cheng Mo's words and said lightly: "For me, the chosen one is not important at all, and even becoming a god general has nothing to look forward to. ”

"Then why did you become a Chosen One, and you have been in the first place on the Heavenly List for so long?"

"That's it!" Athena replied nonchalantly, and then she turned her head to look at the deep blue sea and sky outside the porthole, as if subconsciously avoiding discussing the topic with Cheng Mo.

The room was silent again, without the glass separating the inside and outside, the never-ending noise of the waves became the low roar of the organ in the church, and Athena gazed at the bright moonlight reflected on the sea, as if gazing at a distant ray of light in the dark forest.

Cheng Mo seemed to hear a long sigh, and then found a barren loneliness in her pupils, as if her heart was a huge wasteland, where devastated weeds were reborn, and she sat among the ruins, and she didn't know how long she had been sitting, and her body was covered with dust.

This is the complete opposite of the flawless image of Athena on the top.

Cheng Mo didn't feel that his feelings were wrong, and he carefully recalled all of Athena's actions these days: she was able to indulge in one thing for a long time, and rest and activity could be completely abandoned, and she was studying the Book of Law She has a peculiar habit of cutting vegetables, cutting everything to be very uniform and almost the same size, and she does not hesitate to throw away her Ouroboros, which is too unusual to cherish something so valuable. Now it seems that she never smiles, it is not cold, but a kind of numbness, like a hazy and faint sadness wrapping her all the time, like an invisible cocoon......

All these behaviors are related to Athena's failure to practice the Book of the Law, which reminds Cheng Mo of a disease that people with high IQs may suffer from - high-functioning depression.

Because this mental illness is able to suppress the secretion of adrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin. Therefore, there is high-functioning depression, and it is estimated that it is difficult to intercept energy through the practice of snake yoga.

This kind of depression is different from ordinary depression, ordinary depressed patients are swallowed up by great sadness every day, and they want to die all the time to get rid of it, and they will lose certain social functions due to the illness, such as being unable to work and socialize.

"High-functioning depression" generally occurs in high-IQ people, who are still able to work and live normally, socialize as necessary, and interact with family and friends after the illness; they can complete all the piles and piles in life with a sense of responsibility and inertia, but in fact they are not interested in everything in the outside world, and their hearts are in a state of numbness and depression for a long time.

However, the symptoms of "high-functioning depression" are not as obvious as ordinary depression, and it is difficult to be noticed, and even the patients themselves feel that they are just like "normal people", but they are often depressed, so they are also called "laughing depression patients".

Cheng Mo is not 100% sure that Athena has "high-functioning depression", but he can be sure that Athena has some psychological problems. Even when you've had a heart attack, you'll smile when you've solved a difficult math problem, or you'll be happy when you've read a favorite book. But these days, he had never seen Athena smile, and her most pleasant expression was squinting her eyes while drinking an iced Coke.

If that's all it takes, it may be a factor of Athena's character, but watching such a cheerful cartoon of "Crayon Shin-chan", Athena has never been amused, and that's too abnormal.

In addition, Athena confidently said that she could intercept energy with her body in three days, but she couldn't do it. Cheng Mo doesn't think that Athena is the kind of person who is blind and arrogant, so he can only say that she has encountered unexpected difficulties. According to Athena's IQ, it is definitely not a problem with the understanding of the "Book of Law", so Cheng Mo guessed that it was most likely due to the body.

Based on comprehensive analysis, Cheng Mocai believes that Athena is likely to suffer from "high-functioning depression" and does not know it.

For the sake of rigor, Cheng Mo decided to observe for a few more days before making a judgment. So he drank the Coke from the cup and asked, "Aren't you eating?"

Athena stared out the window and shook her head slightly.

Cheng Mo got up and said, "Then let's pack up our things and go to bed!"

——————————————————————

When he got up the next day, Cheng Mo let Athena practice alone in the house as usual, while he sat on a beach chair and looked out at the blue sea. A huge cloud floats on the skyline where the sea and the sky meet, and from a distance, it looks like a bulk carrier is slowly sailing towards the depths of the clouds.

Now the bulk carrier has circled the waters closer to the African continent and is moving along the coastline of Aiji.

In the memory of the vast majority of people, Africa is synonymous with poverty, ignorance and backwardness, but it is not the case in history, according to Cheng Mo's understanding, the three most important civilization circles of mankind are the East Asian civilization circle with China as the core, the South Asian subcontinent regional civilization circle with Tianzhu as the core, and the Mediterranean civilization circle including the ancient two river basins, ancient Aiji, ancient Sila and ancient Rome.

Among these three civilization circles, the most important is of course the Mediterranean civilization circle, which is located in the center of the world, because it not only gave birth to the earliest civilization of mankind, but also gave birth to a revolutionary capitalist civilization, which greatly promoted the development of productive forces.

However, Europa historians like to secretly change concepts, deliberately do not talk about the influence of the two river basins and the ancient Ai civilization on the Europa civilization, and do not talk about whether the many civilizations in Asia Minor belong to Europa, they only talk about ancient Cyla and ancient Rome, and secretly replace the entire Mediterranean civilization with the Europa civilization, making people mistakenly believe that the development of capitalist civilization is all the credit of Europa Caucasians, and only Europa Caucasians are the chosen people.

In fact, it is the Circum-Mediterranean civilization that is the core part of Western civilization. Both ancient Greece and ancient Rome began to take shape under the influence of multiple civilizations, and their sources are the two rivers and ancient Ai civilization in the final analysis. It's just that most of Europa's historians don't delve into it. And the vast majority of ordinary people will not understand the difference between the civilization of the Mediterranean and the civilization of Europa.

Cheng Mo sat on the beach chair and imagined the history with the sea view that he never got tired of, but he didn't expect Athena to come out of the room, she stood at the door and took the initiative to say: "Wait until I go to the cafeteria, remember to help me make a dish for my old godmother to make seasonings." ”

"Yes, honorable Lord Beret. Cheng Mo tried to make a joke.

Athena didn't react to this, and ordered as usual, "Remember that you have to come up and eat with me, too." ”

Cheng Mo used to think that Athena was so proud that she didn't care about what other people said, but now she thinks that Athena may really have a low language perception, and she may not have the meaning of superiority subjectively, but she has always spoken like this, which makes people feel very arrogant.

People are always prone to misunderstanding others, and understanding is a costly behavior, which makes it difficult to build trust and become friends with others. Knowing that Athena was not the Athena he thought she was, Cheng Mo felt that he should really try to be Athena's friend, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget, we are partners." ”

Athena nodded and turned around to go back to the room, but Cheng Mo asked, "Didn't you practice snake yoga in the room just now?"

Athena stopped, turned to look at Cheng Mo and said, "No." ”

"Why? Can you tell me that there was a problem in that link?" Cheng Mo continued to ask, since Athena's Uloporos had been lost, Cheng Mo still hoped that Athena could recover some of her combat strength as soon as possible.

"If you don't want to stay outside, you can go back to the room. Athena avoided answering.

Cheng Mo didn't know if Athena knew the reason and didn't want to say, or if it really hadn't been discovered yet, and judging from Athena's attitude, he believed that the former was more likely. But this kind of thing, Cheng Mo still needs Athena to be willing to accept his help, so that it will play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort, and besides, he can't force Athena, so he can only change the topic with Athena and say: "That's no, I like the sea very much, even if I just look at it, I won't get bored." ”

Athena was a little surprised and asked, "Why?"

Cheng Mo got up from the recliner and stood next to the railing, he raised his hand and pointed due east, "This place is close to Aiji, and it is almost at the end of the Mediterranean Sea, and about 400 nautical miles to the east, you will reach the holy city of Jerusalem (100 nautical miles equals 185.2 kilometers). ”

"So what?"

The name Jerusalem has been used throughout almost the entire history of mankind, and it has been the most important city in the history of human civilization since the many great wars that have taken place around it, and the flames of this war have not been extinguished to this day. The Mediterranean, the world's second largest inland sea surrounded by three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa (the largest inland sea is the Caribbean Sea), can be said to be the most important sea area in the history of human civilization. If we think of the world as a chessboard of Go, then we can see the most appropriate 'Tian Yuan', which is the Mediterranean. Countless glorious civilizations have been born around this sea...... Cheng Mo grabbed the railing with both hands and closed his eyes, and whispered to the sea breeze, "When I close my eyes, I can see Xerxes reviewing his army on the shore of the Mediterranean, fighting ships in the strait, and 250,000 troops throwing whips and cutting off the stream." 1,207 warships and 3,000 transports were responsible for covering the flanks, transporting supplies, and waiting for an opportunity to fight the Sila fleet in the Mediterranean. When Xerxes saw this, he said that he was the happiest man, and then he wept bitterly, and his uncle Atabannus asked him, 'Why do you behave so differently, king!!' and he replied, 'I thought about it, and a feeling of compassion came over me.' How short is the life of a man, so many warriors who are alive and well, a hundred years later, how many people will not be dust......."

If Xie Minyun were here, he would have imagined with Cheng Mo the grand sea battles in the Mediterranean, counting the thousands of years of grievances and hatreds between Sila and the Persian Empire, or discussing the large-scale seasonal hunting of tuna by Genoese fishing boats, the pirate fleets formed by the ancient Etruscans, the Berbers and the Uscocks in the early modern period and cruising the Mediterranean, robbing the merchant ships for silk, gold and spices, and discussing the giant beasts of the sea that Rome sacrificed. The five-oared warships were to combat piracy and secure trade routes.....

However, Athena only asked, "You should be talking about the Battle of Salamis!"

Cheng Mo nodded, Athena was gone, looking not very interested, which made Cheng Mo brew for a long time The passion had nowhere to release, so he could only laugh at himself and said: "I've thought about it, I should end with Manuel Alegre's "Zephyr Tanka", but it seems that you are not very interested." ”

"There is a shipwreck in every poem, and I don't know which poem is not the sea. Athena said softly.

This time it was Cheng Mo's turn to be a little surprised, "I thought you had no interest in history, poetry, and so on. Athena came out of the door frame, she walked to the railing, and also raised her hand to grasp the railing, and the oblique sunlight shone on her face, making her face like a transparent jade, "My father loved this poem very much, and he would occasionally do nothing but stare at the sea in a daze. ”

My father was the same, once he spent a lot of money to buy a sack of shells back, other people's fathers would always bring something delicious or fun to their children when they came back from abroad, but my father brought back a bag of shells, and spent more than 10,000 yuan, at that time more than 10,000 yuan was not a small amount for our family, which made me angry, and ignored him for several days, until he put those beautiful shells on the Internet and sold them for tens of thousands of yuan, I forgave him....... Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders, "I regret it now that I think about it......"

"Do you regret selling those shells?"

"Nope. Cheng Mo said with some annoyance: "There are not only golden axes and phoenix snails in those shells, but also bright red banana snails, flame incense snails, and even a luminous flower thorn salamander snail, so many precious shells were sold for 30,000 yuan, which is simply too cheap." ”

"Are you sure it's a noctilucent salamander, not a crested snail or a luminous salamander?" asked Athena, turning her head to look at Cheng Mo.

"Of course I'm sure, my dad put it on the website, two thousand Huaxia coins, and the result was instantaneous. Seeing that Athena's eyes were a little confused, Cheng Mo understood in seconds, and immediately explained, "Two thousand Huaxia coins are almost 250 euros." After a pause, Cheng Mo said, "250 also means fool in our Huaxia.....

Athena said very agreeably: "It's really stupid to sell the luminous flower thorn salamander for only 250 euros, if you want to sell it to me, I will want 2,500 euros." ”

"It's a pity that I didn't know you at that time, so I lost a chance to make a fortune. ”

"It's too late to make you rich now. Athena said seriously.

"It's too late. Cheng Mo shook his head and said with a look of regret.

"It's easy for me to make you rich in time. Athena said unquestionably.

Cheng Mo felt that Athena's straightforwardness was also very cute, he smiled and said: "I said it was too late, because I am now a rich man." ”

"How much money do you have?"

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, thinking that Athena could even abandon Hydra and his own Uloporos, and then thinking about the wealth of the Onassis family on the surface, and said a little depressed: "It's just billions of dollars, and it definitely can't be compared with you." ”

Athena thought for a moment and said, "Billions of dollars are barely enough to spend without skills and artifacts!" After a pause, she asked again, "You didn't have much money before, so now that you have money, are you happier than before?"

Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I still haven't found the dialectical relationship between money and happiness. Athena said with some regret: "I thought you had experienced a life from poor to rich, so you could draw a conclusion." ”

"A lot of things don't come to a conclusion. It's like whether there is any meaning in human life. Cheng Mo said meaningfully.

"It's boring to be alive. Athena looked down at the blue sea churning with white spray at her feet and said lightly.

"You don't feel the threat of death to say it so easily. You must know that when you die, you lose all possibilities, and only by living can you have infinite possibilities, including finding the meaning of your life. ”

"Kind of makes sense. ”

Cheng Mo turned his head to look at Athena and asked, "Didn't you France start studying philosophy in elementary school?

"I didn't go to elementary school, I didn't go to junior high school, I used to study with my mom when I was a kid, and she didn't teach me that. The only subjects I could study as a child were math and physics. ”

"No wonder. Cheng Mo suddenly realized, and then he said, "Your parents must have high expectations for you on the path of the Chosen One. ”

In the middle of the conversation, the two of them fell into silence for some reason, maybe Cheng Mo's temptation was too deep, or maybe Athena didn't want to communicate with people yet, she turned around and walked into the room.

Cheng Mo guessed what kind of childhood Athena went through, and on the other hand, he admired the deep sea that was as immortal as poetry.

——————————————————————————

One night when the ship was about to sail into the sea of Ethel, heavy rain fell in the Mediterranean. The porthole that was stuck to Cheng Mo with a cardboard shell was blown by the sea breeze mixed with rain in minutes, so the cold sea breeze poured into the room, instantly emptying the warm breath.

Cheng Mo, who was only covered with a thin blanket, was awakened by the cold, he shivered, got up and saw that Athena just changed from the desk to the bed to watch "Crayon Xiaoxin", and did not care about the broken window at all, so he regretted that it was a bit of a mistake not to call someone to repair the porthole. In view of the fact that the temperature is really low and a little unbearable, and besides, if the rain is allowed to pour in, it will be more difficult to clean up tomorrow, so Cheng Mo can only get up from the sofa and look for suitable objects in the room that can block the portholes.

After searching for it all but not finding it, Cheng Mo remembered that there were stainless steel trays in the kitchen. went to the kitchen to find two stainless steel trays, Cheng Mo braved the rain in the window, and tried to use the "Seven Sins Sect" to embed the trays into the porthole. Just as he was designing the notches according to the size of the portholes, he saw faint lights floating in the wind and rain in the distance.

Cheng Mo has always been alert, immediately injected energy into his pupils, looked at the little light in the dark, and saw two warships, although it did not fly the national flag, Cheng Mo could distinguish that it was a new generation of French air defense ships "Horizon" class destroyers and an air defense and anti-submarine integrated "Aquitaine" class frigate.

The tonnage of these two ships is more than 4,000 tons, and the armament is much higher than that of ordinary patrol ships, especially the air defense ships will be equipped with missiles against the Chosen One, and the two types of air defense and anti-submarine ships appear together, either to protect the aircraft carrier, or to target the powerful Chosen One.

There is no doubt that the other party is here for Athena, who destroyed a Sila frigate a few days ago.

Cheng Mo thought that after all, his luck was still not good enough, and he was still discovered by Ou Yu's people. At the moment, neither he nor Athena had Ulopolos, and there was no way to tell how many Chosen ones were on the two warships, let alone whether Napoleon VII had come in person. Cheng Mo guessed that Napoleon VII should be too busy cleaning up the mess of Sila to come over, but everything didn't matter, and there was no other choice but to hide in this situation.

Because he had a plan, Cheng Mo did not panic, first completed the work at hand in an orderly manner, embedded the stainless steel tray into the porthole, and then plugged the water stains on the desk and the floor clean, and cleaned the room, before saying to Athena: "Clean up, let's go to the dark layer of the cabin to hide." ”

This plan had already been told to Athena, so Athena was not surprised, got up and put on her coat, turned off her notebook and put it in her backpack, and prepared to walk out of the room with Cheng Mo with her bag.

Cheng Mo stood at the door and asked, "Why don't you put on your mask?"

"Anyway, it's all about hiding, what's the difference between wearing it and not wearing it?" Athena looked nonchalant, as if she didn't quite understand what a dangerous situation the two of them were going to face.

Cheng Mo persuaded bitterly: "It can be more or less useful." ”

Athena was indifferent, "I don't remember where to throw it......"

Before Athena's words fell, Cheng Mo said directly: "In the drawer of the bedside table on the left." ”

Athena was speechless, nodded, turned around and walked to the bedside table on the left, opened the drawer and took out a human skin mask, walked towards Cheng Mo and said, "Wait and wear." ”

Cheng Men Athena had no choice but to walk out of the room, he first went to the captain Omero's room, woke up the sleepy-eyed Omero, and told him that a warship was approaching, and Omero, who was wearing pajamas, immediately woke up, and asked in a panic: "How far is it?

"Don't, just follow the plan. Cheng Mo said coldly.

Captain Omero said worriedly, "What if they tell us to go back?"

"No way. Cheng Mo shook his head, "This is already in the sea of Isere, and the relationship between Ether and the Europa Alliance is not good, they are on the ship to find me and my companions, and they will not ask for this." ”

Captain Omero subconsciously looked at Athena hiding behind Cheng Mo, and suddenly the anxiety in his eyes turned into surprise and incredulity, he opened his mouth slightly, shook his head fiercely, and said dreamily: "Am I dreaming? It must be, otherwise how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world......

"Captain Omero, I must tell you not to betray us to keep yourself safe, and if we are discovered, your entire ship will not survive. Cheng Mo said coldly.

Captain Omero seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, looked directly at Athena in the dim light, and muttered: "How can I betray you, even if I risk my life, I will not betray you." ”

Cheng Mo could hear Captain Omero's words from the heart, and had to sigh that he still underestimated Athena's charm, thinking that the magic of a beautiful woman was really great, and a cunning person like Captain Omero couldn't help but say things that went against his character. He raised his hand and patted Captain Omero on the shoulder, and whispered, "Remember that as I told you, as long as you can get to Syria safely, I will give you 150,000 euros." ”

After being slapped twice by Cheng Mo, Captain Omero woke up from Athena's dream-like face, he struck a spirit, his swarthy face showed a hint of shyness, and he stammered: "Money..... Money..... What..... It's not that important...."

"Don't say it's pointless, get ready. With that, he turned around and walked towards the stairs, and Athena quietly followed.

"Okay. Captain Omero said as he stared at Athena's slender back.

———————————————————————

Cheng Mo took Athena directly down to the engine room, and there was a very hidden mezzanine under the main diesel crankcase in the engine room, which was originally used to hide drugs. In this case, this position cannot be used for hiding people at all, because the engine room is not only noisy, the temperature is usually as high as forty or fifty degrees, but also it is necessary to wear anti-static clothing, and if you do not wear anti-static clothing, you will be in danger of being electrocuted when entering the engine room.

All in all, the average person would be almost dead trying to hide in the engine room.

But these aspects are not a threat to Cheng Mo, it is still a favorable cover, and it is precisely because there is such a suitable hiding place that Cheng Mo decided to do the opposite, not to get off the ship in Ai Ji, and still stay on the "Mediterranean Overture".

There is no doubt that this is very risky, but it can allow Cheng Mo to solve Ou Yu's tracking once and for all.

Cheng Mo pulled Athena and waited behind the stairs of the engine room for a while, until he heard the footsteps of the staff on duty in the engine room leaving, then took out the key and walked quickly to the door of the engine room, opened the door and Athena walked through the duty room, and came to the heavy engine room door.

The interior of the engine room is almost ten stories high, and the huge main diesel engine stands in the center of the engine room, making a deafening roar, Cheng Mo handed Athena the anti-noise earplugs that he had prepared a long time ago, and he himself did not wear anything, and took Athena down the stairs around the main diesel engine to the bottom level under the loud noise.

The main diesel crankcase is in the stern of the bulk carrier, because the ship has not stopped at this time, the crankshaft is still sitting and reciprocating, and the rumbling mechanical sound is endless. Cheng Mo walked to the crankcase, which was about the size of the container, and next to the third section of the door, he showed the appearance of the "Seven Sins" turning into a screwdriver, unscrewed the big screws around the door one by one, handed the screws to Athena to hold, and took the door off.

Suddenly, the huge crankshaft and connecting rod appeared in front of the eyes of the two people, the sultry high temperature made Cheng Mo sweat profusely, he glanced at the mechanical components that were moving rapidly in the shiny oil, walked to the side and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then slightly hunched over and reached into the crankcase to find the switch hidden at the bottom.

Cheng Mo pressed it lightly, and the sound of the machine was amplified, and a gap appeared in the steel deck under his feet at the third section door, and it bounced up a little. He reassembled the door before carefully lifting the thick steel deck, pointing to the mezzanine less than a meter high and saying to Athena, "You go down first." ”

Without saying a word, Athena sat neatly on the edge of the mezzanine, stretched her legs into the mezzanine, and lay down in it with a light slip. Waiting for Athena to enter, Cheng Mo also lay down in the mezzanine, and took advantage of the situation to fasten the steel deck above his head.

The area of the mezzanine is as large as the main diesel crankcase, but it is crowded with wooden boxes, and it is deliberately empty to accommodate two people, and the height is one or two centimeters higher than the coffin, which is not enough for people to sit up, so Cheng Mo and Athena can only lie side by side in the dark mezzanine.

Although the tip of Cheng Mo's nose lingered with a strong smell of engine oil, and the unbearable noise echoed in his ears, not only the endless "click, click, click" sound of the main diesel engine, but also a series of strange sounds of the crankshaft driving the propeller to rotate the water, but Cheng Mo, who was infused with energy in the cochlea, felt that the world was unusually quiet, as if he was lying on a planet listening to the long roar from the universe.

Cheng Mo closed his eyes, as if he saw the starlight in the sky, he felt strange, when it was obviously extremely dangerous, why did he feel romantic in a cramped, dark, hot and smelly mezzanine.

He thought, "It can't be because of Athena?" He didn't want to think like that, so he resisted the urge to turn his head to look at Athena. However, Athena moved carefully, and it was inevitable that he would encounter Cheng Mo in the narrow space, so he had to turn his head to look at Athena and ask, "What's wrong?"

"Hot. Athena said simply.

The darkness did not affect Cheng Mo's vision, and he saw Athena lift her upper body slightly, and she was taking off the black jumper with some difficulty, and the elastic hem of the pullover brought up the t-shirt, revealing a seductive silhouette. Inadvertently glimpsed that Athena was not wearing XX, Cheng Mo quickly turned his head back and closed his eyes fiercely.

So the twinkling stars were gone, and only a white and flawless first quarter moon remained. Cheng Mo's heart jumped suddenly, and the scorching air that he could endure became completely unbearable.

Athena took off her coat, lay down the fleece jumper as a pillow, and sighed, "If only I had brought in a glass of ice coke." ”

Athena's cold and hard tone made Cheng Mo feel more and more like the scorching sun, he also opened the zipper, took off his sweatshirt with difficulty, and also learned Athena to fold her clothes into squares as pillows and lay down with only a T-shirt. However, taking off his coat under the main diesel crankcase didn't help at all, so Cheng Mo stopped saving energy and sacrificed the only three-D-level skill he could use at the moment, "Freezing Ray".

Although it was only a three-D skill, the lethality was not strong enough, but when the air conditioner was definitely more than enough, the temperature around Cheng Mo quickly dropped.

Athena soon sensed that Cheng Mo's side was a little cooler, so she leaned over to Cheng Mo without hesitation, and soon she noticed the abnormality, turned her head and whispered in Cheng Mo's ear: "Why are you cool here?"

Cheng Mo was about to explain, she directly touched Cheng Mo's hand and asked coldly: "You used your skills, why don't you lower the temperature for me?"

Cheng Mo hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't give it, the energy of my body is limited, and my ability is also limited, at most, I can only maintain my own temperature, and I really can't control you." After a pause, Cheng Mo explained, "It's not like you haven't seen me make ice cups, it takes a long time to get an ice cube, do you think I did it on purpose?"

Athena seemed to agree with Cheng Mo's statement, no longer spoke, but just got closer to Cheng Mo, and gradually Cheng Mo's body was like a magnet, which completely attracted Athena, and even squeezed Cheng Mo to the side of the wooden box. However, this did not seem to solve the problem, Athena's side near Cheng Mo was cooler, and the other half was still hot and sweaty.

Athena is not a person of ink, and said lightly: "You turn around." ”

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment and said, "Turn around?"

"Leaning sideways, otherwise the contact between us is too small to cool down. ”

Athena said very directly, and there was no embarrassment, Cheng Mo was not pretentious, turned around, and lay on his side facing the wooden box, and immediately Athena's slender hand stretched out from his neck and hugged him in his arms, like holding a big doll.....

Cheng Mo's whole body stiffened, his mind was blank, and he only felt as if he had flown into the sky and was wrapped in a cloud of soft clouds.

"Why are you so nervous all of a sudden?

Cheng Mo couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart: Don't you know how good your figure is? He didn't dare to move at all, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "No, haven't you ever been in love?"

"Nope. ”

"Then you should also know that boys and girls must have a very close relationship to be so close, right?"

Athena asked with some hesitation, "Can't you hug your partner?"

"It's okay for a male partner...."Cheng meditated on the embarrassing position he and Athena were in, and immediately said, "It's not okay for a man to hold a man like this.....

"Why?"

Cheng Mo said helplessly: "You haven't taken a philosophy class, you haven't taken a history class, you can't take a physiology and hygiene class, right?"

"Nope. ”

Cheng Mo was speechless, "Then you won't be unclear that this posture belongs to an ambiguous posture that can only be done between couples, right?"

Athena didn't speak, but just loosened her embrace a little, so that the suffocating feeling of oppression on Cheng Mo's back was no longer too obvious, Cheng Mo was a little lost and slightly relieved, his heart struggled to go ashore in the hot spring, but immediately, he began to miss the warmth of the ironing again.

Cheng Mo closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and began to calculate the "Riemann hypothesis" in his brain to expel the incomparably beautiful dream, and Athena's dream, the dream that was close at hand.

Finally, Cheng Mo restrained Qi Nian, and as a result, Athena clung to it again, and she said with some grievances: "No, it's too hot." ”

Cheng Mo gave up his efforts and accepted the reality of being forced to eat tofu, fighting with all his strength against the soaring adrenaline and the rich imagination in his brain.

Time slowly tormented in sweet hardship, until Cheng Mo felt his shoulders tingle. After all, the mezzanine was not Simmons, the steel plate was too hard, and he said dryly: "Can you change your position......?"

"Good ....."

Athena's voice was a little hazy, as if she was asleep. Cheng Mo moved his body cautiously, and turned around at the same time as Athena in the claustrophobic space. This turned into Cheng Mo sticking to Athena's back, Cheng Mo didn't want to hold Athena, but the feeling of his shoulder pressing on the steel plate was too uncomfortable. In addition, for some reason, the situation is even more embarrassing.

Cheng Mo had no choice but to whisper: "This is not a thing, when the Chosen One goes down to the engine room, we can't move at all, we must adjust to a suitable posture now." ”

"As long as there is enough contact. Athena didn't know anything about Cheng Mo's terrible situation, and replied very strictly.

Cheng Mo smiled bitterly and said, "You go over a little first." ”

Athena moved her graceful body slightly, Cheng Mo lay down, stretched her right hand through Athena's slender neck, and hugged her whole person in her arms. At this time, Athena's entire body almost left the sandwich steel plate and leaned against Cheng Mo's body. She rested her head on Cheng Mo's shoulder and whispered with a hint of tiredness, "This position is quite comfortable." ”

Cheng Mo tilted his head to look at Athena, her eyes were closed, her clean face revealed a childish innocence, the soft blonde hair flowed along the white cheeks to his chest, and the faint fragrance of the hair penetrated through the smell of engine oil and sneaked into his brain, Cheng Mo looked at Athena's dynamic and soft body like a Venus sculpture, only to feel that his brain was trembling.

He is not a decent gentleman, but he will not take the opportunity to take advantage of Athena, especially since Athena is still like a child in this regard, and Cheng Mo can't let himself appear uncultivated. He closed his eyes, grimaced, and began to calculate the "Riemann hypothesis" in his brain again, while listening to the engine room by sound.

I don't know how long it took, but Athena, who seemed to be asleep in his arms, moved and whispered in his ear, "How long will you stay?"

With a hint of lemony sweetness and fresh taste rushed into his nose, Cheng Mo subconsciously tilted his head, Athena's jade face floating with red glow was just a millimeter, just a little bit, his lips were about to touch Athena's smooth forehead, Cheng Mo's heart swayed, and he almost couldn't hold it in a trance to hold Athena tighter.

At this moment, there was a sound of the door opening from the direction of the duty room, followed by a familiar low voice that was extremely silent, "Search here and leave, if she is on this ship, she will definitely not hide......"
