CH 31

Su Huanyi almost cracked his hips!

He slowly rose, holding the foot of the bed like a closed compass, “Big brother, I’m ……”

“Are you performing the splits for me?”

“……” Su Huanyi bowed his head obediently, “Yeah, it’s fun.”

Su Chi lowered his arms as he walked over and stopped in front of the two beds. “Is this also for fun?”

“It helps with sleep.”

Su Chi grinned and pinched the back of Su Huanyi’s neck as he walked out of the lounge. Su Huanyi turned into a chick as he fluttered to save himself. “I saw that big brother was uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa yesterday, so I wanted to add another bed.”

“The trampoline?”

Su Huanyi snapped, “Second brother accidentally sent a huge one.”

Su Chi paused and said meaningfully, “Oh… so there’s a second brother in the mix.”

Su Huanyi shyly sold out the man, “Otherwise, how could the movers get into the company?”

Sorry, second brother, but on the Huangquan road, we rely on each other. You are not considered to fall alone.

***Huangquan road is said to be the road spirits take when going to the underworld***

The back of the neck was released. Su Chi retracted his hand and took off his jacket, putting it on the sofa. Su Huanyi tested the waters, “Big brother, will you come in and sleep at noon?”

“It’s already set up; why would I not sleep?”

Su Huanyi was impressed by his rationality.

The two went out for lunch and found Xiao Qin waiting for them when they came back. It was not working hours at this time of the day, and he would not have come over to report on his work.

Su Chi asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Qin said, “Director Su, the director of Xinrui Group has replied. He is free tomorrow morning and asked if you would like to talk about the bidding in Banyan City. ”

“Then let’s talk about it.”

“Okay Director Su, I’ll go and reply now.”

After Xiao Qin left, Su Huanyi asked, “Is big brother going out tomorrow morning?”

It depends on where the appointment is. If the appointment is at the other company, I’ll have to go out. ”

“Do I still need to stay?”

Su Chi looked at him and thought for a moment, “You can come along.”

Su Huanyi was happy. He didn’t like to remain alone. When he was at school, he would even take his friends with him to the toilet. People would laugh at him and say, “He’s like a girl.”

He may have been a little sticky, but he didn’t pester. As long as he has someone with him, even if he doesn’t talk, it’s good.”

“So, shall we sleep, big brother?”

Su Chi went into the lounge and pulled out a quilt from the closet. “Let’s make the bed first.”

Su Huanyi diligently approached, “Okay.”

The morning meeting had been delayed by ten minutes, and the bed had taken another ten minutes to make, leaving only forty minutes for the lunch break. Su Huanyi made the bed and immediately took off his coat and got under the quilt. He also called out to Su Chi, “Big brother, hurry up and get some sleep!”

Su Chi unhurriedly loosened his collar and walked to the other side of the bed with his long legs. Su Huanyi was lying in his bed watching his big brother walk over. He felt Su Chi looked quite aggressive.

Su Chi lifted the quilt and lay down in it. He lay in a flat, moderate manner, with his hands on his abdomen and his eyes closed.

The two were separated by a meter or so, and Su Huanyi turned his head to look at him.

Su Chi’s aura was much more relaxed after the coldness and sharpness of his sneer faded. The snow on top of the green pines melted away and turned into a clear, moist stream of water.

His big brother was probably the most gentle when he was sleeping.

………

Su Huanyi woke up to see a quilt in front of him.

His mind was still spinning, so he reached out from under his quilt and touched it in an attempt to figure out what it was.

“Su Huanyi, where are you touching?!”

The voice shook and icy dregs landed on his foggy brain. Su Huanyi rolled over and sat up. He found himself sleeping on the bed with his head facing Su Chi’s abdomen. So he must have touched the waist and abdomen just now.

He hurriedly withdrew half a meter away and met Su Chi’s deep eyes, “Big brother’s abs are nice.”

Su Chi sneered, “So you felt them through the bed quilt? A Chinese medicine practitioner taking a pulse is no match for you. ”

Su Huanyi advised him, “It’s better if we don’t step on the pedals.”

“…”

After the nap, the day’s work continued.

Because of the impromptu appointment with the director of Xinrui Group tomorrow, the rest of the schedule has been adjusted. Su Huanyi went to coordinate with Xiao Qin. After several phone calls and trips upstairs and downstairs, he returned to the secretary’s office and collapsed in place.

A glass of water was handed to him, “Assistant Su has worked hard.”

Su Huanyi took it, “Thank you, Secretary Qin.”

He felt that Xiao Qin still saw him as the young master of the Su family. Although he would also arrange his work, his words and actions still revealed respect.

The secretarial profession requires its practitioners to have a strict sense of subordination. Xiao Qin had done a good job in this regard, not being subservient or overbearing, which was why he had been able to stay by his elder brother’s side for so long.

In contrast, he could be sent away at any time.

“Secretary Qin, have you ever bounced on my big brother’s bottom line?”

“Assistant Su, the ones who have done that are no longer in the company.”

Su Huanyi shuddered and asked, “Do you know where they’ve all gone?”

Xiao Qin replied, “Sorry, this company does not do after-sales services.”

“…”

The sky was dark near the end of the day. Only a bright line in the sky remained, which was a precursor to heavy rain.

Su Huanyi walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window. From this perceptive, he could see many employees leaving the building.

“Brother, isn’t it not yet time to leave work?”

“There are ten minutes left.” Su Chi looked up from his phone, “It’s going to rain, and people who leave through the gate usually take public transport home. They should make a head start. ”

Su Huanyi thought it was rare to find a boss like him. “Big brother is a good boss.”

Su Chi closed his computer and put away the things on his desk. “Don’t flatter me.”

It was already raining by the time they left the office. Su Chi was driving the car; the windshield had watermarks winding and sliding down.

The bright red tail lights deflected a foggy red glow in the rain curtain, and the wipers kept the rain at bay. The noisier the world outside the car, the quieter it seemed inside.

“There’s a bit of a traffic jam ahead.” Su Huanyi said as he looked at the navigation, “But it’s only a few hundred metres,” he said as he looked at the navigation.

“I see. Don’t look at your phone when in the car. ”

“It’s okay, I don’t get carsick.”

Su Chi glanced at the almost empty packet of biscuits he had eaten and snickered, “With such a good appetite, it doesn’t look like you get carsick.”

He added, “Don’t you know how dirty it is to touch the phone while eating with your hands.”

Su Huanyi felt guilty and said, “It’s not like I’m feeding you.”

The veins on Su Chi’s temple throbbed, “Can’t you even eat by yourself?”

“Big brother, I’m not that fragile.”

The traffic stalled as the road ahead pulled into congestion. Su Chi stretched out his hand and pinched the skin on the back of his neck, immediately leaving a red thumbprint on the side of his neck.

“Not fragile?”

Su Huanyi was pinched by the fingertips and he raised a hand to cover his neck, “My skin is fragile but my organs are strong.”

“Heh, why don’t you just say that your soul is invincible.”

…….

The road would get congested from time to time, and it was already half past six by the time the two got home.

The garage was on the side of the mansion, which was some distance from the entrance. Su Chi parked the car and found an umbrella in the trunk. He held it open and beckoned, “Come here.”

The two walked into the rain side by side. The umbrella was for a single user, so it was a bit difficult to completely cover two adult men.

Su Huanyi looked sideways and saw that half of Su Ch’s shoulders were drenched in rain, so he hurriedly took hold of his wrist and pushed the umbrella towards him. “Brother, your shoulders are drenched.”

Amidst the noise of the rain, Su Chi suddenly looked down at him, the emotions under his eyes hidden by his eyelashes.

Two or three seconds later, he turned back and brought Su Huanyi closer, “It’s not a problem.”

Today’s rain was not as heavy as the last rainstorm, and only their shoulders were a little wet when they entered the house. Wu Ma had already prepared the meal and brought it to the table, so Yu Xinyan told Su Huanyi and Su Chi to hurry upstairs and change their clothes.

They went upstairs and happened to meet Su Jianchen on the staircase. Their eyes met, and they stopped at the same time.

Su Jianchen did not know what had happened, and he was still immersed in the self-satisfaction of buying Su Huanyi a bed. He turned his expectant gaze to the latter.

Su Huanyi’s first thought was that he had sold out Su Jianchen. He nervously looked at Su Chi beside him.

From the moment he saw Su Jianchen, Su Chi’s eyes seemed to have substance, motionlessly looking at the other man. It looked like a storm was coming.

The three formed a one-way triangle in the stairwell, inexplicably but logically.

–It was Su Jitong’s appearance that finally broke the stagnation.

He peered up the staircase handrail, “Su Chi, Su Jianchen, little Yi, why are all of you standing around stupidly? The fried rice noodles are about to lump up!”

The three brothers: “…”

The family had dinner, and Su Chi, who had been caught in the rain, went back to his room to take a shower.

Su Huanyi followed Su Jianchen upstairs. He felt the need to talk to him, “Second brother, that…”

“Do you want to come to my room …..”

Both spoke at the same time.

Su Huanyi: “What?”

Su Jianchen was a little embarrassed, “I mean, I moved the Lohan pine back. Do you want to come over to see it?” He finished and asked, “What did you want to say?”

“….” Su Huanyi said, “Nothing, I wanted to say how I haven’t seen the Lohan pine in a long time.”

“So do you want to see it then?”

“Yes.”

He didn’t dare to breathe. Su Huanyi recalled the fear of the Lohan pine falling on his head.

Su Jianchen’s room was simple and cleanly decorated. It had no unnecessary decorations, and the panda plushie lying on the sofa bench was particularly eye-catching.

Su Huanyi took a look at it. It seemed to have fingerprints that had been rubbed all over it.

The pine had been moved back to the balcony, where it was growing vigorously. After autumn, the yard was dark brown and green. The cluster of deep green against the autumn colours was particularly eye-catching. “It’s growing so well.”

Su Huanyi peered over the edge of the pot.

He picked up a bit of soil from the edge of the pot, and Su Jianchen turned around to give him a piece of paper, “Can’t you be more careful?”

“Thank you, second brother.”

Su Huanyi wiped his hands. He had seen the Lohan pine, and the two couldn’t find anything to do for a while. Su Jianchen had just mentioned it casually, looking for a reason to ease the relationship with Su Huanyi.

In the past, Su Huanyi was pretentious, turning black into white, and Su Jianchen could not wait to kick him out of the house. Later, Su Huanyi went out of his way to apologize to him, and his behaviour was slowly getting better, so he forgave him a little.

The only thing Su Jianchen didn’t understand was: they all underwent reconciliation, but why is Su Huanyi much closer to his elder brother and third brother? Could it be that he had been too aggressive before?

“What did you think of the bed?” Su Jianchen spoke.

Su Huanyi was staring at the pattern on the flower pot, and he subconsciously answered, “It’s quite comfortable to sleep on, but it’s too big.”

“Too big?”

“….” Su Huanyi came back to his senses. “It’s a bit big. But it fit together with big brother’s bed. ”

Su Jianchen caught the key word, “Together?”

“Don’t worry, second brother, I wouldn’t squeeze into big brother. We slept far apart. ”

“It’s not about that-” Su Jianchen’s breath was thick and he choked, “Forget it! It’s nothing. ”

Su Huanyi didn’t understand how his second brother managed to get tangled, annoyed and remorseful. His emotions changed rapidly.

“What’s wrong, second brother?”

“Forget it. Okay, you go back. Shouldn’t you take a shower? ”

It would have been okay if Su Jianchen hadn’t said it. Su Huanyi felt an itch in the place that had been drenched by the rain. He rubbed his shoulders through his clothes, and the neckline was pulled away to reveal his neck.

His wrist was suddenly grabbed with a snap!

“Second Brother?” Su Huanyi looked up in surprise and met Su Jianchen’s incredulous eyes.

Su Jianchen’s gaze was straightforward and unconcealed. The force in his hand was so strong that Su Huanyi almost fell forward.

“What is that?”

Su Jianchen pointed out with a finger. Su Huanyi froze like a little dork, completely unaware of what was happening, “What?”

Before Su Jianchen’s hand could touch the place, a stern voice came from the doorway, “Second brother!”

Su Huanyi and Su Jianchen turned their heads at the same time. The door was not closed when they came in, and Su Chi was now standing at the door. He had just finished his shower, and his hair came over his forehead, but it could not hide his fierce eyes.

Su Chi walked in with sober steps, “Second brother, what are you doing?”

The shock in Su Jianchen’s heart had not yet passed, and he was immediately hardened by the scolding. “I haven’t asked Big Brother yet. What did you do?”
