CH 38

Su Huanyi’s heart was pounding wildly.

Su Chi looked at him, “I knew that you came into my room that morning. I heard the sound of you calling me.”

“……you knew!” Su Huanyi’s brain was thrown into confusion. Not only did you not respond, but you secretly sped up!

A hand passed over him to turn off the shower. The noisy sound of water stopped, and Su Chi’s voice became clear, “So, if I’m not even embarrassed, what are you embarrassed about?”

“We’re all men. Who hasn’t felt it? For you need to avoid me like this?”

Su Chi was reasonable and confident, leaving Su Huanyi shocked. “Then…then I’ll try to accept it.”

“Well, accept it quickly.” Su Chi’s eyes were half closed, “Stop avoiding me.”

…………

Su Chi filled the bathtub with hot water before he left. Su Huanyi sat in it, gurgling and bubbling like a boiled dumpling.

Su Chi had a point. Wasn’t it just a man’s morning activity? His big brother was so healthy that he would definitely have it happen to him. Only that Su Huanyi was embarrassed by Su Chi’s frank attitude.

Su Huanyi soaked for more than 40 minutes until there was a knock on the bathroom door. Su Chi’s voice came, “Are you making soup in there?”

“…” Su Huanyi climbed out of the bathtub, and the footsteps outside the door gradually moved away.

He came out of the bathroom and found Su Chi sitting on the living room sofa. Su Huanyi collected himself before walking over to sit next to him, “Big brother, I…”

“You’ve not dried off.” A towel fell over his head. Su Chu rubbed the towel across his dog’s head and said, “Have you accepted it and won’t avoid me anymore?”

Su Huanyi felt comfortable after the rub, and his next words were much smoother. “Well, I’m sorry, big brother. I shouldn’t have avoided you these days. ”

Su Chi patiently waited for him to continue.

Su Huanyi reflected, “Big brother treats me well, but I am still distant from him.You are suffering from something internal, but you still turn around and enlighten me.”

The word “internal” was accented with a deeper meaning, and Su Chi’s eyebrows jumped.

“Is that the point? Su Huanyi, you bumped into the shower when you were avoiding me today. What if next time you hit a car in the street? ” “Then we can make a fortune!” exclaimed Su Huanyi.

Su Chi: “…”

Su Chi, “Are you going back to your old job?”

Su Huanyi: “…”

With the matter out of the way, Su Huanyi felt a lot more relaxed. Doesn’t that mean they are closer since his big brother discussed such a topic with him?

He tentatively stretched out his little foot, “Big brother, I didn’t expect you to be quite open.” Su Chi was rubbing his head, and his fingers occasionally brushed against the soft hair. He gave a lazy “huh?”

Su Huanyi said, “You lectured me on not wearing trousers before, but you can now do it in front of me.”

“Su Huanyi!” The cold voice rang out and the towel was pasted on his face, “Wipe it yourself.”

They were both tired today, and went to their respective rooms to sleep after the informative talk.

Su Haunyi sleepily walked to the bathroom the next day. Su Chi was brushing his teeth with his back to him. His unkempt hair and lapels were slightly disheveled, giving him a casual, homely look.

With no outsiders present, Su Huanyi made a loud and unrestrained yawn, “Angg…have you finished using the bathroom, big brother?”

Su Chi met his eyes in the mirror, and the sound of brushing intensified a little: Isn’t it obvious?

Su Huanyi’s chaotic mind cleared up a little and changed the subject. “It rained outside last night and I felt a little cold.”

Su Chi rinsed his mouth and wiped his face, saying, “Wear more if you’re cold.”

“We have to meet your partner today. I can’t wear a down jacket under my formal clothes. ”

“Just wear a woolen sweater over it.”

Su Huanyi hugged his brittle self tightly, “Brother, we are different.”

Su Chi: “…”

The temperature had dropped in the middle of the night when it rained, so Su Huanyi searched for a woolen sweater in his suitcase for a long time but couldn’t find one. He had also forgotten to bring baby warmers.

It was forty minutes before the appointed time, and about half an hour would be spent on the road, so it was time to leave.

Su Chi held up his wrist and looked at his watch. “Stop looking and go downstairs.” “Will there be one less person in the family from now on?”

“…”

Su Chi was speechless for a moment, then said, “There’s a supermarket downstairs. I’ll go buy you a baby warmer.”

They left the room and found Xiao Qin already waiting at the elevator. “Good morning, Director Su, Assistant Su. I’ve just called a car, and I expect it to be waiting downstairs in five minutes. ”

“There’s no rush. Let’s first go to the supermarket. ”

The strands of hair next to Su Chi leaned towards him attentively.

Xiao Qin’s lenses lit up, “Okay.”

The hotel was next to a supermarket chain, and Su Chi walked straight through the door. He took three boxes of ten baby warmers to the checkout counter.

Although baby warmers are usually bought by girls, some boys also do it, but rarely. Su Chi was tall and handsome, and he didn’t look like he was buying them for his own use. The girl at the cashier’s desk was chatty and asked, as she scanned the code, “That’s 36 yuan. Are you buying your girlfriend, sir? That’s really sweet. ”

Su Chu did not respond. He took out his mobile phone, paid the money and said thank you. He carried the bag and threw it to Su Huanyi, “Take it.”

The young girl:”…”

Su Huanyi: “…”

Su Chi had already strode out of the supermarket, and Su Huanyi went to explain to the girl, “They’re for his girlfriend. I am the assistant who helps carry things.”

The girl: “Uh-huh.”

Su Huanyi: “…”

They had chartered a commercial vehicle this time. After getting into the car, Su Huanyi fished up his shirt and asked Su Chi to help him put the baby warmer on his back. “Why didn’t you explain, big brother?”

Su Chi’s hand lifted the hem of his shirt and poked into his back, finding the spot of his vest and pressing the baby warmer there. “Explain what?”

“Don’t you remember what you said before?” Su Huanyi recalled the scene, imitating his big brother’s cool and aloof tone, “Don’t act like that in front of others in the future. It’s easy for people to misunderstand. Do you understand? ”

Su Chi: “…”

Su Huanyi continued, “We’re not real brothers, you know. It’s not good to misrepresent. ”

Su Chi: “…”

Su Huanyi turned his head and said, “Isn’t that what you said, big brother? Why didn’t you explain it just now? That girl was looking at me in a strange way.”

Su Chi glanced at him, “How do you want me to explain? It’s not for my girlfriend, it’s for my brother, who’s too brittle?”

“…”

Across the table, Xiao Qin pressed his glasses up. Su Chi glanced over, “Is it funny?”

Xiao Qin said, “No. This subordinate is happy for your moving brotherly love. ”

Su Chi replied lightly, ” I’m going to pay salaries soon. I think you’ll be happier then. ”

Xiao Qin,”… this subordinate apologizes.”

Su Huanyi found another precious quality in Xiao Qin: flexibility.

The partner they had an appointment with was the owner of a national hotel chain. The meeting place was a Japanese hotel owned by the other party.

The tree entered the courtyard. The long wooden corridor was surrounded by a thick bamboo forest. It had rained the night before, and the fragrance of the earth was still in the cool air.

The person they were meeting was surnamed Wan. He was in his forties, and he received the three in the VIP room.

The VIP room was also in Japanese architectural style, with hot tea served on a low table decorated with a few red plums. Behind them was a large screen with a flat round lantern hanging overhead.

The main purpose of this meeting was to discuss a partnership on a wellness project. They sat and introduced each other before entering into a detailed discussion.

The project was located in a valley in the Qushan Mountains, where the soil was not suitable for growing crops and had been abandoned. However, the location was relatively advantageous, with plenty of light. This made it suitable for developing into a sunny town.

Su Chi discussed with Mr Wan about the project plan, while Su Huanyi sat next to him and listened. He was afraid of the cold, so he held a cup of hot tea in his hand, and he drank it down in two sips when it cooled down before adding more.

Su Chi was conversing with Mr. Wan, but he kept glancing over several times.

Mr. Wan smiled, “Director Su, your assistant likes this tea ah. My friend brought it from southern Yunnan. It tastes great! ”

Su Huanyi, who just wanted to keep warm:”…”

Su Chi cast a meaningful glance at him.

After drinking too much tea, Su Huanyi wanted to go to the toilet. He asked Mr Wan for directions and thanked him before getting up to go out.

Within half a minute of his departure, Mr Wan suddenly said, “I forgot to tell him that the bathroom has a window for ventilation, but I don’t know if it’s closed or not. Outside the window is the courtyard, and people sometimes pass by, so I hope he will notice it himself. ”

Su Chi suddenly got up and said, “Excuse me, I’m going to the bathroom too.”

Mr. Wan sighed with Xia Qin after his figure disappeared outside the door, “Your Mr. Su is really considerate of his subordinates and is a good boss.”

Xiao Qin took a leisurely sip of tea. “You’re right.”

………..

The location of the bathroom was rather remote and Su Huanyi had to ask a waiter midway in order to find it.

He found a position after entering, but just when the belt buckle was loosened, Su Chi walked in through the door.

Su Huanyi looked sideways, “Brother, you also come to sprinkle…” he changed his words under the other party’s harsh gaze, “water.”

Su Chi walked to the window and closed it. Su Huanyi’s eyes suddenly darkened, “What you closed was the window to my mind.”

He added, “I now can’t see clearly.”

Su Chi walked away from the window and moved two positions away. There was a sound of metal clasps unlocking in the closed room. “Are your eyes a water gate switch?”

Su Huanyi: “…”

The two men returned to the VIP room and the discussion continued. It was close to twelve o’clock when the group had lunch, and then they talked for more than two hours before wrapping up.

Mr. Wan got up and led them out of the VIP room. “It’s been hard on everyone. Why don’t you rest here and stay for one night before returning? ”

Su Chi thanked him for his kindness and said, “We’ve already booked a hotel.”

“Then how about you enjoy the hot spring and a sauna before you leave? There are also several medicinal pools at the back. The temperature has plummeted in the past few days, so soaking in the hot spring will invigorate the blood circulation and increase resistance.”

Su Huanyi made a slight pause.

Mr. Wan warmly invited him, “For example, this assistant, you don’t have enough blood on your face. It’s best to take a dip! ”

Su Huanyi leaned closer, “I’ll listen to Director Su.”

“…” Su Chi twitched at the corner of his mouth and carried him back, “Then I’ll trouble Mr. Wan.”

The hot spring had a special shower room and changing room.

One needed to rinse and change into a bathrobe before entering the hot spring, so Su Huanyi followed Su Chi into the preparation room, while Xiao Qin turned to the other side, leaving the two people in the same cubicle.

Su Chi opened the cabinet, and Su Huanyi walked over to the cabinet next to him.

“The cubicle next door is empty. Do you have to come and squeeze with me?”

Su Huanyi opened the cabinet and took off your jacket, “We can now have heart to hearts. Why are you still shy?”

Su Chi: “…”

Su Huanyi was lively and cheerful, “You’re so fickle.”

Su Chi felt his bottom line being plucked like a violin string.

Seeing that two buttons on Su Huanyi’s shirt were now unbuttoned and the side of the porcelain white neck showed an eye-catching red mole, Su Chi took his bathrobe and went to the next cubicle.

The two cubicles were separated by a corridor and were open opposite each other. So they could see each other when they turned their heads.

The sound of clothes rustling five or six metres apart was prominent in the semi-enclosed space. Su Huanyi removed his clothes and put them in the cabinet. He put on his bathrobe but found the straps were too long, so he reached back and tugged…

Thud! His arm slammed into the iron cabinet behind him, and Su Huanyi groaned in pain.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Huanyi turned his head and saw Su Chi looking at him. Their eyes met, and the latter quickly looked away. Su Huanyi closed his loose robe, “Nothing, I bumped my elbow.”

“Be careful.” Su Chi turned his head back.

Su Huanyi finished changing into his robe and waited in the middle of the corridor. He looked up and saw Su Chi’s back to him. He had already changed into his robe, but his head was hanging slightly in thought.

He called out, “Big brother?”

The back of Su Chi’s neck twitched, as if he had returned to his senses, “Mmm.”

Su Huanyi saw that he was going to turn around, and the cabinet in front of him was still half open, so he spoke up to remind him, “Brother, your cabinet door is open.”

Bang! The cabinet door was slammed shut.

Su Chi’s fingers on his face were trembling slightly.
