CH 33

Su Huanyi was shocked to the core-evil fate!

At the same time, Su Chi stopped in his tracks.

Li Xingzhong didn’t notice the changes in the two. He took a couple of steps forward, “Little Nie, you wouldn’t mind having a few more friends to eat with us today, do you?”

Nie Yihu smiled modestly. “Of course, I don’t mind… it’s better to say it’s my pleasure.”

He said, turning to Su Huanyi, “Right?”

Su Huanyi: “…” No, not really.

Li Xingzhong followed his line of sight and noticed the look on the two people behind him. “What’s wrong? Do you know each other? ”

Su Huanyi did not dare say anything. The temperature around Su Chi had dropped straight to the freezing point, and his gaze met Nie Yihu’s. “We have never crossed paths.”

Nie Yihu stepped forward, “Mr. Su and I don’t have much of a friendship, but Little Yi and I are very close. I believe there will be more encounters in the future.”

Little?! Yi?!

Su Huanyi trembled. When did they become so familiar!

Su Chi’s face sank, “Mr. Nie, pay attention to how you address others.”

Nie Yihu ignored him and asked Su Huanyi, “Little Yi doesn’t mind, does he?”

The air was once again ablaze with sparks within a few meters of the entrance to the side hall.

Su Huanyi hurriedly took a step closer to Su Chi and said to Nie Yihu, “I’m not very good at social addresses. I’ll listen to my brother. ”

Nie Yihu’s smile faded. The temperature on Su Huanyi’s side rose slowly.

Li Xingzhong looked at Su Huanyi in surprise. He didn’t care who Su Chi had brought with him before, but he didn’t expect it to be the youngest son of the Su family.

Nie Yihu took a break for a few seconds before rallying again, ” You said that you liked Southeast Asian cuisine last time. The chef at our clubhouse has developed several new dishes and would like you to taste them. How about today? ”

Su Huanyi declined warily, “Thank you for your chef’s kindness.”

The rest of the group: “…”

Nie Yihu corrected,”….I am inviting you to come and taste it. I wonder if I can enjoy it?”

Su Chi did not turn to look at him, but Su Huanyi could feel his gaze on him the whole time. Nie Yihu was also looking over. His manner was modest and courteous. It would be insensitive to refuse again in the face of such a good attitude.

Su Huanyi was caught between these two gazes, and his hairs were curling up into knots–help!

No one told him he had to go through all this as an assistant!

A hearty laugh suddenly broke the current stalemate, “Little Nie, I’m the host today! Since you two are destined to meet, how about making an appointment another day?”

Li Xingzhong had been gallivanting in the market for decades, and his input was at the right moment: “You’re all guests this time, so you should let me do my duty as the host and give me face!”

Nie Yihu smiled, “That’s right.”

Li Xingzhong turned his head, “What does Director Su think?”

Su Chi said calmly, “Mr. Li must be given face no matter what.”

Both sides took a step back under Li Xingzhong’s mediation and walked out together. Su Huanyi’s alarm was lifted and he remembered to adhere to the “superior-subordinate distance,” so he took a step away from Su Chi.

A hand reached over and picked him up by the back of his collar, lifting him back, “Stay close. What are you doing running around?”

Su Huanyi:”… okay.”

Li Xingzhong’s treat was in the four-star hotel behind the company, which was neither cheap nor too formal. It was just right for entertaining friends.

The group went in, and a waiter immediately came to guide the way. The hall was elegant, with a carved lantern ceiling of golden branches and emerald leaves, and koi floating at the bottom of the cold smoke pond.

Su Huanyi glanced at the bottom of the pond. The red-golden koi swung their tails skillfully, stirring up a few splashes of water.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Nie Yihu turned his head to look at him and said, “Do you like it?”

Before Su Huanyi could answer, he heard Su Chi faintly, “You just had dessert. Why are you hungry again?”

Nie Yihu: “…”

Su Huanyi: “…”

It might have been his illusion, but it felt like Su Chi was explicitly fighting Mr. Nie.

After entering the box, Li Xingzhong took the main seat. According to table etiquette, his left and right seats should be occupied by Su Chi on one side and Nie Yihu on the other.

Su Chi took his seat, and Su Huanyi followed, sitting next to him. However, Nie Yihu walked up to the empty seat on Su Huanyi’s other side and said, “Today is a gathering of friends. We shouldn’t pay attention to so many rules. I’ll be next to… ” ”

Xiao Qin.” Su Chi called out.

Xiao Qin stepped forward and sat On Su Huanyi’s side. He pushed his glasses up solemnly and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Nie. Assistant Su is tired from the long journey today. His eyesight is blurred and he can’t lift his hands, so he needs my help in serving the dishes. ”

The crowd: “…”

In his heart, Su Huanyi sighed. No one had told him that being an assistant was so difficult.

Nie Yihu turned to sit on the other side of Li Xingzhong. As he settled down, he said meaningfully, “Mr. Su has found a spiritual secretary.”

Su Chi: “It is important to keep up with the current affairs.”

Li Xingzhong, in the main seat, had already ordered the waiter to serve melon seeds, ready to watch the court battle up close.

The dishes were quickly brought up.

Li Xingzhong was the host, so Su Chi and Nie Yihu both knew when to stop at. The three talked about different topics, but their words were still very polite.

Su Huanyi, whose eyesight was blurred and whose hands could not be lifted, ate at ease. Xiao Qin, next to him, helped to carry out the play to the end, using public chopsticks to serve him food throughout the meal.

Su Huanyi went from being embarrassed to accepting it, even pointing out the dishes in a fluent manner.

“Xiao Qin, I also want to eat the sweet and sour pork. Thank you.”

Xiao Qin looked at the plate of sweet and sour pork near Li Xingzhong and was about to turn the table plate when a pair of chopsticks suddenly picked up two pieces of meat and dropped them into Su Huanyi’s bowl.

“Letting go of the near and seeking the far?”

Su Huanyi held the rim of his bowl to pick up the meat, “I don’t dare bother you.”

Su Chi chuckled. “Aren’t already too much trouble?”

Su Huanyi shyly put a piece of meat into Su Chi’s bowl with the hands he couldn’t lift, “I’m nurturing big brother back.”

The piece of ginger that resembled meat was chucked into the plate for crumbs the next second. “I appreciate your kindness.”

“……” Su Huanyi was baffled, “My eyesight is really blurred.”

After the meal, Li Xingzhong shook hands with several people one by one after leaving the hotel.

Nie Yihu took out his mobile phone and said to Su Huanyi, “I’ve seen you so many times and we haven’t exchanged contact information. Can you add me on WeChat? ”

He was given the QR-code code.

Li Xingzhong said at the side, “Ah yes, young people just want to make more friends!”

Su Huanyi felt the death stare as he slowly took back his phone.

Hiss... His big brother must have felt that he was not listening to the admonition and was in a hurry to find a boyfriend.

The friend request was approved and Su Huanyi was saving him as “Hu” when he was easily captured by Nie Yihu, “…… My last name is Nie.”

Su Huanyi was caught red-handed and changed the name as she was told, “What’s Mr. Nie’s full name?”

Nie Yihu pulled out a business card from his jacket pocket and handed it to him, “This is my name.”

Su Huanyi felt tender under Su Chi’s sharp gaze and said, “I will remember it well this time.”

The characters on the business card were dragon-like, and Huanyi tried to make out the words, “Nie Chiji?”

Nie Yihu “….”

There was a faint, untraceable chuckle in the air.

They went back to the office after lunch.

Su Chi mercifully did not assign Su Huanyi work, saying, “You’re off this afternoon.”

Su Huanyi felt like he had been paddling for most of the day. “Why?”

“A reward for you.”

“A reward for what?” Eating a lot?

“A reward for improving your language skills. ”

Su Huanyi didn’t quite understand what his big brother’s point was, but since there was a reward, he wouldn’t refuse it.

Su Chi was working at his desk, and Su Huanyi was chatting on WeChat when a message from Nie Yihu popped up.

“Brother, Hu Chiji asked me to dinner.”

Su Chi: “…” very good. Not one of the two names in that sentence was right.

Su Chi leisurely got his phone and said, “Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll get it for you. ”

Su Huanyi, “Why?”

“You have made another improvement, so the reward has doubled.”

…….

They left the company at 5 pm sharp.

Su Huanyi got into the car and felt an itch on his body. He was too embarrassed to reach in and scratch it, so he rubbed himself on the seat while Su Chi was driving.

He was caught in a second, “Why are you twisting about?”

“My back is a bit itchy. The woollen sweater I’m wearing underneath must be pilling. ”

“The family doesn’t buy pilling clothes.”

“….”

The car left the company, and Su Huanyi still felt the itch after ten minutes or so. He couldn’t resist lifting his shirt and twisting his head to look.

Su Chi was driving, only to see a white light in the corner of his eye. The corner of his forehead twitched, “Su Huanyi, put your clothes-” the words stopped abruptly.

The car turned into the off-ramp and stopped at the side of the road with a jerk of the steering wheel.

Su Chi grabbed Su Huanyi’s hand that was scratching his back, his face sinking, “Are you having an allergic reaction?”

“What?” Su Huanyi looked up blankly. Was he allergic? What was he allergic to?

Su Chi didn’t want to say more to him, so he turned his car around and drove to the hospital.

The city hospital was the most prestigious in the city. It was located in the centre of the city and a quarter of an hour’s drive from them.

Usually, one must make an appointment to see the doctor, but Su Chi only made a phone call, and he was led straight to the consultation room when they arrived at the hospital.

Su Huanyi was rubbing the itch through his clothes, “Big brother, we’re bullying again.”

Su Chi dragged him as he strode down the hospital corridor, feeling extremely embarrassed. “Shut up.”

“…”

It was already dark outside after the series of examinations. Su Chi made a phone call to his family and told them about the situation. He said that he and Su Huanyi would go back later to eat.

Su Huanyi hung his head as he listened to the doctor under Su Chi’s low pressure. The test report showed that he was “allergic to kelp”, and he remembered that he had eaten a lot of it at lunchtime.

To be precise, he had eaten a lot of each dish.

“You are already in your twenties and should know what food you are allergic to. You have to avoid foods that you have to avoid, you know? The redness and rash you have now are mild, but severe allergies can lead to breathing problems and even shock! ”

Su Huanyi nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, “Okay, okay …… I’ll remember.”

Oh my god, how could he know that this body would be allergic to kelp!

The doctor gave him some medicine and instructed him to rub it in and not to scratch his rash. Su Huanyi took out his little book and wrote everything all down.

Su Chi took the prescription to the medicine collection counter.

Su Huanyi waited outside the consulting room. He looked up moments later and saw Su Chi coming with a plastic bag. His tall figure exuded a sense of pressure the closer he got.

“Big ……”

Clatter! The plastic bag was thrown into his arms.

“Don’t you know that you’re allergic to kelp? All you do is eat and eat all day long. You eat everything. Do you want to die? ”

Su Chi’s face was cold, and Su Huanyi was instantly silenced.

As far as his memory could go, he had never seen his Su Chi this angry.

Not when he had crawled out from under the bed, not when he had drenched Su Chi with cold water, and not even when he had met Nie Yihu today.

It was like a storm was brewing in Su Chi’s eyes.

Su Huanyi hugged his weak self tightly and said, “Big brother, my skin is going to turn crispy if I don’t apply the medicine.”

“…..”

The underground parking lot was dimly lit, and the lights were on inside the car.

Su Chi’s words were heavy, but his hands were gentle.

Su Huanyi had his shirt lifted and turned his back to the person, “Brother, it’s too itchy. Can you add more pressure on that point?”

Su Chi said coldly, “Do you want me to get a rake to plough you?”

Su Huanyi knew he was in the wrong, so he hung his head and obediently let the medicine be applied.

The car was quiet for five or six minutes. He was thinking of how to make up the excuse that he didn’t know about the allergen when Su Chi suddenly spoke up.

“I didn’t know you were allergic to kelp.”

Su Huanyi froze.

What did Su Chi mean by this? Was he kicking himself for not being attentive enough? Or did he think that if he had known, he might not have gotten an allergic reaction?

He waited for Su Chi to go on, but Su Chi remained quiet and the two of them made their way back home in silence.

Su Huanyi was surrounded by Su Jitong, his wife and second brother, who were waiting in the living room for the news. He saw Su Chi’s back as he went upstairs alone through the gap between the people.
