Gu Jiusi was stunned.

Yes, Chen Mubai has been reminding her over the years, reminding her that Chen Mingmo was cruel and ruthless, and that as his pawn, the end of the game was so miserable, but what could she do? Apart from following her advice, she could never find a second way.

The arm was getting more and more painful, and Gu Jiusi had no choice but to stretch out his right hand to push Chen Mubai, but he couldn't use it. Chen Mubai suddenly relaxed his strength, his eyes fell on her drooping right hand, and his tone also eased a lot, "Why is your right hand so cold?"

So cold that I can't exert my strength?

Gu Jiusi glanced at him quickly, silently hid his right hand in his sleeve, "It's a little cold."

In fact, she is not cold, but the temperature on her right hand is like this all year round, and even when the weather is the hottest, it is cold.

Chen Mubai stared at her right hand and suddenly remembered something, and did not ask for any doubts in his heart.

The two of them were opposites, and they were just tense, but now they suddenly became quiet and embarrassed. Gu Jiusi coughed and broke the silence, and seemed to be very respectful and took the initiative to speak, "If Mr. Mu has nothing else..."

Chen Mubai interrupted her very quickly, "Yes."

"What's up?"

"Accompany me to the garden."

"..." Gu Jiusi rolled her eyes in her heart.

Chen Mubai led the way in front, and the two walked along the path. He stopped from time to time and pointed to a place and said a few words to her. Gu Jiusi probably just responded. During the day, the two people who were still incompatible with water and fire were now wandering around the garden as if they were friends.

The royal mansion garden is covered with silver on a snowy night and looks more and more beautiful. Gu Jiusi grew up abroad and has always been interested in classical things. He can look around or listen to Chen Mubai say a few words.

Chen Mubai suddenly stopped and pointed at a plum blossom in the corner casually, "This wintersweet was planted by myself when I was a child, and it was called Suxin wintersweet."

After saying that, he continued to walk forward without explaining.

But Gu Jiusi stopped and looked carefully for a while, then stared at Yingting's figure ahead and silently.

Chen Mubai thought she didn't know, but she actually knew it.

She knew that Chen Mubai's mother's name was Suxin and Yan Suxin.

The two of them fell into silence next, as if they had no common topics when they were not in opposition.

Chen Mubai seemed particularly kind tonight, but later he took her into the backyard, took out a few frozen pears in the snow, wiped them and handed them to Gu Jiusi.

Gu Jiusi never knew that there was such a way to eat it. After taking a bite, he felt it was crisp and delicious. The sudden cold feeling hit the tip of his teeth to the roots, and a sweet feeling spread from his mouth.

Chen Mubai took one in his hand and didn't eat it. He threw it up and down, and spoke again leisurely, "When I was young, Chen Mingmo was often away from home. I was often punished by Chen Muyun's mother to write here. I couldn't finish writing and refused to eat. Later, after having experience, Uncle Fang would bury pears here in advance. When I was hungry, I would dig them out to eat. When I waited at night, I asked Chen Jingkang to secretly deliver food to me."

Gu Jiusi looked at the crystal clear pear meat in his hand with his eyes hanging down. He didn't know how many windy and snowy nights he had spent here. A child, hungry and cold, was afraid that the glimmer in his heart would be covered by fear. All hope disappeared with the ice and snow that would eventually melt, leaving only cold bones and blood.

Gu Jiusi understood that feeling because she had also experienced that hope slowly disappeared, despair slowly surged up, submerging her whole body in the bone-broken coldness.

Gu Jiusi was still in a daze, but Chen Mubai suddenly turned his head in a brisk voice and asked her, "What are you thinking? Actually, what I just said is fake."

Before Gu Jiusi could react, he saw him shook his head with confusion, "Tsk tsk, Gu Jiusi, Gu Jiusi, don't you know that the Chen family loves acting the most? You can't even see these tricks. I really don't understand where the old man likes you? You have been by my side for many years, so why haven't you made any progress at all."

Gu Jiusi stood up suddenly and gritted her teeth and patted the snow on her body. It must be that the snow night tonight was so beautiful. She actually relaxed and said vigilantly to Chen Mubai.

Chen Mubai looked up and glanced at her, with a smirk of a traitor at the corner of his mouth. He stood up slowly, no longer continuing the topic just now, and raised his chin, "Take you to the back and take a look. At this time, the lake is frozen and it is the most beautiful when it snows."

Gu Jiusi seemed to suddenly remember something and froze suddenly, "Wait, when was the pear I ate just now... buried?"

Chen Mubai seemed to touch his chin seriously and thought, "It's been too long, I don't remember it very much. It's still one and a half months in less than two months."

"You..." Gu Jiusi seemed to be burned, and the half of the pear in his hand was immediately thrown to the ground, and Guru Guru got out far away.

Chen Mubai seemed not to have expected her reaction so much. He was stunned for a moment before laughing, "You really believe it, Gu Jiusi, why are you so easy to cheat?"

Gu Jiusi covered her face with regret and walked forward without looking back.

After two casualties in a row, Gu Jiusi, Gu Jiusi, are you an idiot? No, idiots are smarter than you!

After a long time, the two people finally stood by the lake. The branches of ancient trees on both sides of the lake were covered with snow. The winding branches passed through the hexagonal pavilion by the lake. They were graceful and the lake surface was frozen, and the snowflakes fell on it, quiet and beautiful.

Gu Jiusi hasn't watched Xue so quietly for too long. Since she entered the Chen family, she has been trapped by intrigues and intrigues all day long, and she has lost this mood.

"I was naughty when I was a child. I fell into the lake in winter and almost died. My second brother tried his best to save me."

Soon Chen Mubai smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, there are not so many accidents, but it's just another trap."

Gu Jiusi supported him with expressionless expression and perfunctory words, "Mu Wu is good at acting, he can speak the jokes and lines. It's really admirable that people can't play with people's hearts."

In fact, she didn't believe Chen Mubai's words at all. He came in as a grandson and grew up helplessly in the Chen family. There were countless traps waiting for him along the way. He is now good at plotting and planning just to protect himself. A simple person cannot survive. His dark childhood was difficult, and perhaps even a simple survival was a kind of luck and luxury.

But she was still scared after being teased by Chen Mubai twice in a row.

Chen Mubai was not embarrassed, so he pinched a stone beside his feet and threw it on the lake, and tried it, "Go to have a walk on the ice?"

Gu Jiusi was stunned, looked at the ice surface, then looked at Chen Mubai, but he just didn't move.

Chen Mubai smiled, "You don't dare?"

Most people who are so agitated will most likely retort with their necks and red faces.

But Chen Mubai didn't expect that Gu Jiusi shrank his neck and thought seriously for a while, "I... really don't dare."

"Hahaha..." Chen Mubai's laughter was far away, "Yes, yes, I forgot that Gu Jiusi can't swim."

Gu Jiusi looked at Chen Mubai strangely and smiled again. Is he in a good mood today or is she particularly funny today?

She tightened her collar, "Will swimming have any effect when this weather falls into this temperature of water?"

Chen Mubai did not restrain himself at all and continued to attack Gu Jiusi, "It doesn't have much impact, but if I know you and you don't know, I can laugh at you."

Gu Jiusi gave a high evaluation without hesitation, "I'm simply sick!"

After saying that, Gu Jiusi turned around and left, but was stopped by Chen Mubai, grabbed her wrist and strode forward. When Gu Jiusi struggled out, he was already far away from the shore.

To be honest, Gu Jiusi was a little scared and a little angry. She didn't care about turning against Chen Mubai and quickly turned around and walked back to the shore.

Chen Mubai did not stop him this time, and he reminded him innocently, "Don't move around, even if you return the same way, I don't guarantee that the ice will not crack."

Gu Jiusi really stopped moving, she really didn't dare.

Compared to Gu Jiusi's nervousness, Chen Mubai's face was calm and leisurely and comfortable, "Gu Jiusi, let's make a game?"

Gu Jiusi was not in the mood to play games now. He glanced at Chen Mubai incrediblely, and didn't remember to pretend to be respectful to Chen Mubai. He gave three words viciously, "Spiritless!"

"Tsk" Chen Mubai seemed very new, "Don't scold people!"

Gu Jiusi had a cold face, "I didn't scold anyone, I scolded him!"

Chen Mubai pursed his lips and smiled, looking at Gu Jiusi, "How do I remember that there is indeed one of us born in the Year of the Pig?"

Gu Jiusi held his forehead again, then looked up and looked at the celestial phenomena for a while, and saw that the purple microstar was abnormal. Someone must have forgotten to keep his brain tonight.

Chen Mubai smiled and coughed lightly, and continued to suggest, "The ice layer in the middle of the lake is not thick now. Every time I take a step forward, you will answer a question. The same thing, every time you take a step forward, I will also answer a question. Any party can stop at any time, but as long as the other party dares to move forward, the other party must answer the question. The person who answers the question can choose not to answer, but once you answer, you have to tell the truth. How about it?"

Gu Jiusi knew that he would be defeated in every battle tonight, so he stopped struggling. He frowned and thought for a long time to look up at him, "What if I fall in?"

Chen Mubai also thought about it seriously for a while, and seemed quite entangled, "For you and I have cheated me and I will show you a friendship. If you fall in, I will definitely not save you. Although you are a woman, it is said that I should save the beauty again, but the lake water is too dirty. You know that I have a cleanliness, at most I will call for help for you."

Chen Mubai saw Gu Jiusi's mouth twitching and comforted him again, "Don't be afraid, in fact, the probability of us falling into the ice cave is basically the same. If I fall in, I won't ask you to save me."
