Su Huanyi quickly withdrew his hand as soon as the force on his wrist eased. The maid walked in through the door, “What’s wrong, young master? Ah, the eldest young master is also here.”

She saw the two standing face-to-face. Su Huanyi’s face was a little red with his head lowered and his eyebrows slightly wrinkled. Su Chi, standing opposite him, had one hand at his side, holding a cup in the other hand and looking at him.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Chi turned to look at the maid, and he said, “He doesn’t know how to use the microwave. I’ll take it from here. ”

“Ohhh…” The maid took another glance at them. She felt that the atmosphere was wrong. It couldn’t be that the young master wanted juice and the eldest young master didn’t allow it, so they were arguing.

As she was thinking, she heard Su Chi say, “Go back and rest.”

There was a hint in his voice that she should leave, so the maid hurriedly turned around and walked away.

The kitchen returned to a state where there were only two people in it.

Su Huanyi had calmed down from his earlier panic, and he glanced at his elder brother, “Why didn’t you just let go?”

Su Chi said, “What’s wrong with holding on?”

Su Huanyi was anxious, “It’s not nice to be seen pulling and tugging at each other!”

Su Chi woke him up, “How many times have they seen you digging into my armpit?”

“…”

Su Haunyi came out of his trance and sobered up a little: Oh, he seemed overly concerned! They were usually more intimate, so what was hand holding?

Su Chi saw that he was no longer entangled, and he poured the juice into a cup. Su Huanyi moved a little closer to watch his big brother warm up the juice for him.

The cup went into the microwave and the door was closed.

Su Chi raised his hand to press the switch and stated, in a normal tone, “You just called my name.”

Thud! Su Huanyi’s heart tightened. He just blurted it out in his haste, and he thought that Su Chi hadn’t noticed.

He was going to settle the score with him for sure!

He dropped his head and admitted his mistake, “Big brother, I won’t…do that in the future.”

“You can call me by name in the future. I like it. ”

Su Huanyi suddenly looked up, and they stared at each other until they were interrupted by the microwave ding.

Su Huanyi looked away as Su Chi turned his head to open the microwave. He took out the cup and tested the temperature before handing it to him, “Drink.”

The warm temperature spread from his palm to his limbs, ironing his body, and even his heart felt a little hot. Su Huanyi took a sip and found that the temperature was just right. Su Chi stood in front of him and didn’t leave yet, as if waiting for his reply.

He hesitated, “It’s better to call you big brother.”

Su Chi compromised for him, “You can call me big brother in front of people, but you can call me whatever you want in private.”

Perhaps the cup was too hot. Su Huanyi’s voice was as if it had melted, “I will only call you Big Brother in private.”

Su Chi smiled and turned away.

He left Su Huanyi in the kitchen, laughing so hard that he was in a crouch.

–Fuck! What the hell is big brother laughing at? And what was that meaningful smile?

Su Huanyi went downstairs for breakfast the next day and found Su Chi was still wearing his pyjamas. “Why hasn’t big brother changed his clothes?”

Su Chi said, “Why would I still go to the office when everything is done? To clock in and get full attendance?”

“…”

The maid brought him breakfast, “So we won’t go to the company and just stay at home?”

“I can take you anywhere you want to go. If you stay at home, I’ll accompany you.”

“Oh…then staying at home is fine.”

The ground floor of the house was heated, so it was warmer than in the bedroom. Su Huanyi didn’t go upstairs after breakfast, so he stayed on the sofa in the living room, looking through his phone.

Su Chi went upstairs and came back with a tablet. He sat next to him while keeping the right distance, not so close as to make him uncomfortable, and not so far as to be deliberate.

Su Huanyi slowly spread himself out into a dumpling and went about his business in comfort.

He was playing a game when the family group chat notification popped up at the top of the page.

[Su Jitong]: [Photo] Nature’s beauty! Sharing this with the hard-working Su Chi and Little Yu! @SuChi @SuHuanyi

Su Huanyi: “…” No, we’re not working hard.

[Su Jitong]: You two have worked hard!

[Su Huanyi]: It’s not that hard.

[Su Jitong]: There’s no need to be modest. I understand. [Fist pump].

Su Huanyi glanced at Su Chi. The latter was leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed, drinking coffee in a relaxed manner. There was even a plate of snacks beside him.

He was not being modest when he said, “it’s not that hard.”

Su Chi noticed his gaze and raised his eyes to look back, “What’s wrong?”

Su Huanyi shook his head, “Big brother is so honest.”

Su Chi pushed the snacks towards him, indicating that he should eat some, “That’s not as bad as Dad’s deep-rooted cognition.”

Su Huanyi took the snacks and agreed with him.

……….

They sat on the sofa until it was almost noon. A notification suddenly popped up on Su Huanyi’s phone that an extra payment had been made to his account for the Kun Wine sales.

A message from the WeChat group arrived just in time.

[Sun Heyu]: The first quarter’s profits have been transferred. The unit price has now increased by 70% and will double when the spring festival comes. [awesome]

[Zhou Qingcheng]: Holy shit! We have to celebrate this. It’s a pity that Su Huanyi is in southern Yunnan.

[Su Huanyi]: I got back a few days ago!

[Zhou Qingcheng]: ??? You don’t say a word when you come back! Come hang out this afternoon. I’ll call a few friends and we’ll go sing together!

[Su Huanyi]: Wait a minute.

He put down his phone and turned to Su Chi, “Big brother, Zhou Qingcheng, asked me to go hang out this afternoon.”

Su Chi put down his tablet and said, “Go if you want to go.”

Su Huanyi replied on WeChat, “Okay.”

After a couple of seconds, he heard Su Chi ask, “Do you want me to accompany you?”

Su Huanyi hesitated for a moment. They didn’t have to go to the company, and Su Chu had stayed at home to keep him company. It would be too disrespectful for him to turn around and go out with his friends and leave him alone.

Even thinking about it made him feel a little suffocated in his heart.

“I can tell Zhou Qingcheng and the others if big brother is willing to go.”

“Okay, you can tell them.”

“Okay.”

So, Su Huanyi told Zhou Qingcheng on WeChat, and the other side almost jumped up when they got the message…

[Zhou Qingcheng]: Su Chi is coming! He’s coming to our young people’s party?

[Su Huanyi ]: What do you mean, “young people”? My big brother is not old!

[Zhou Qingcheng]: I was wrong. It’s a party for us youngsters, okay?

So Huanyi, having learned how to position people, automatically skipped this topic and asked him if it was okay.

[Zhou Qingcheng]: It’s okay. Your brother is coming, our party will be a great success.

He sent the time and address and asked Su Huanyi to remind him to dress casually, so as not to be out of place at their party.

Su Huanyi lost his breath. It seems that his big brother is an old cadre in the eyes of outsiders. Maybe he’s the only one who knows that his brother is not a cadre, but he has a way of flirting with people.

…..…

The party was at two o’clock in the afternoon, and they prepared to leave after having lunch.

Su Chi was about to enter his when he heard Su Huanyi’s warning. He turned his head, “Do you think I’ll be dressed in a suit and leather shoes?”

Su Huanyi hung his head in shame as his thoughts were seen through.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to a ballroom dance with your friends.”

Su Huanyi rushed to offer a compliment, “I know, big brother is a fashion trendsetter~”

“…” Su Chi breathed in lightly, “Go back and change your clothes.”

Su Huanyi quickly slipped back into his room, feeling that he had escaped the mockery by being pampered.

Thinking of the chaotic environment of the afternoon party, Su Huanyi didn’t choose light-coloured clothes. He picked a dark blue down jacket with a beige lining, which was both dirt-resistant and casual.

He changed his clothes and knocked on Su Chi’s door. The latter opened the door, and he was still wearing his pyjamas. He turned to his side and let Su Huanyi in, “Wait for me.”

Su Huanyi walked in, “You can’t find anything to wear, right?”

The wardrobe was opened with a bang, and the various clothes hanging neatly all over the place instantly overturned his untrue statement.

Su Huanyi: “…”

Su Chi took out a dark blue low-neck sweater and a camel wool coat and was dressed in five minutes. He didn’t avoid Su Huanyi changing his clothes; he just turned his back and changed directly.

Su Huanyi consciously lowered his head and didn’t look, but out of the corner of his eyes, he could still catch a glimpse of the firm, smooth back, shifting in the halo from the balcony.

Su Chi finished changing and turned around. He walked to Su Huanyi with his long legs and said, “Alright, let’s go.”

“Mmm.”

As they passed the glass wall at the entrance of the staircase, Su Huanyi turned his head to look at their reflection; they were dressed in the same color, both having outstanding looks and temperament. They were dazzling, and they appeared to match each other.

He turned his eyes and blinked at Su Chi in front of him.

The low collar of his coat showed his long neck. His jawline was cold and sharp, which is very attractive in mature men.

Probably sensing his gaze, Su Chi turned his head to the side and said, “Look at the stairs as you walk; don’t look at me.”

Su Huanyi was caught peeking and quickly gave an obedient, “Mmm.”

Su Chi turned back and continued walking down the stairs, “If you want to look, feel free to do so when you get downstairs.”

Damn it, I didn’t! I’ve been wronged!

The party was at a private club, and they found Zhou Qingcheng waiting at the door. The latter saw their car stop, and he took a few steps to come over, “Su Huanyi! Su… Mr. Su. ”

Zhou Qingcheng didn’t know what to call Su Chi. Calling his name was too offensive, and “eldest young master” seemed too frivolous. Su Chi was completely different from them idle hedonists.

Su Chi got out of the car and slammed the door shut. He took the initiative to rescue Zhou Qingcheng, who was at a loss for words, saying, “We are friends; it’s fine to address me more casually.”

Zhou Qingcheng politely greeted “Brother Su”. His haughty posture had completely disappeared and he bent over as if he was welcoming guests to the club.

Su Huanyi was mindful of their hard-earned friendship and did not laugh to his face.

The three walked together towards the main entrance, with Su Huanyi in the middle. He leaned slightly to his left, “You came here to welcome me?”

Zhou Qingcheng moved closer to him and lowered his voice, “To welcome the great Buddha you brought with you.”

“…”

Su Chi glanced at the two heads that were almost touching and frowned slightly, “Su Huanyi.”

Su Huanyi quickly straightened up and turned to him, “What’s wrong, big brother?”

A hand stroked the top of his head, “Your hair is ruffled.”

Su Huanyi raised his hand and pressed it down, “Maybe it’s from leaning on the car window.”

“Hmm.” Su Chi returned his gaze to the front, “I’ll buy you a U-shaped pillow.”

The two entered the elevator, and Zhou Qingcheng, who was next to them, kept glancing at them: “Oh my God, is Su Chi such a friendly person?”

They reached the third floor, and the elevator door opened. Su Huanyi looked up and saw two familiar faces standing outside the elevator.

“Little cutie!” Sun Yue greeted them excitedly, while Sun Heyu beside her had a melancholy look in his eyes. There seemed to be a sadness being held back.

Su Huanyi kept looking at him as the group walked toward the private room. The more he looked, the more Sun Heyu looked like a sad frog, so he asked carefully, “Sun Heyu, are you okay?”

Sun Heyu was depressed and confused, “No.”

Su Huanyi took a deep breath: what a sad frog!

Sun Yue took a step back and walked to Su Huanyi’s side, “Don’t pay any attention to my brother; he just has intermittent low self-esteem. Zhou Qingcheng called some friends over today, both men and women. Now that you and your brother have come, he fears that he’ll be compared to you.”

Su Huanyi was puzzled, “Are we here for a runway show?”

Sun Yue:”… ”

Zhou Qingcheng: “It’s a fellowship, don’t you understand that?”

Su Chi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Su Huanyi was shocked, and the strands of hair instantly stood on end. No one had told him it was a fellowship!

Zhou Qingcheng even winked at him like an idiot, “There are handsome guys and pretty girls. Have fun, hehehe!”
