CH 69

Su Huanyi followed his gaze and suddenly reacted: Crap! The hickeys!

He wanted to raise his hand to block them but forced himself to hold it back. “What’s wrong with me?”

Su Jitong then moved closer, “On your neck, there….”

Su Huanyi’s heart tightened.

Su Chi came back with the tea and glanced lightly at Su Huanyi’s neck.

He paused in his steps, then walked forward as if nothing had happened, setting the tea on the table and his tall body blocking Su Jitong’s view.

Su Chi sat down and made a sideways glance, “It seems to be red.”

Su Huanyi showed a confused and shocked expression, “Red?”

Their eyes met in the air, each admiring the other’s impromptu performance for a second.

The other people at the table noticed the commotion and looked over. Liu Hecheng expressed his concern. “Oh, what’s wrong?”

Su Huanyi composed himself, “Maybe it’s a partial good beginning.”

The strands of hair stretched out cooperatively, “Uncle Liu’s family is here, so I’ll give you all a blessing.”

The crowd: “….”

Su Chi asked gently, “Are you an ancient divine beast?”

Su Jitong skipped over his nonsense and turned to Su Chi, “Look at your brother’s neck. Is he allergic to alcohol?”

“Okay.” Su Chi lifted Su Huanyi’s collar under everyone’s gaze and looked inside with a natural expression.

Su Huanyi held his breath nervously as the fingers brushed the side of his neck.

However, Su Chi’s attitude was very calm, like an older brother checking on his younger brother. He only looked for a couple of seconds before withdrawing his finger and closing the collar. “It’s not an allergy, it’s probably a redness from being rubbed.”

Su Huanyi exhaled slowly, “I think I bumped my shoulder when I was playing in the escape room today.”

Su Jitong put his mind at ease, “then apply some medicine after dinner.”

Su Huanyi nodded his head vigorously as he squeezed his chopsticks.

Liu Qinling, at the side, was caught up in the memory: how come she had no memory of him bumping his shoulder? The only possibility was when Su Huanyi fell into the dark room…….but that’s not right either! She remembered Su Chi tightly hugging his precious brother’s waist at that time.

After dinner, the Liu family had to say goodbye.

The Su family stood at the door to see them off. Liu Qinling was still thinking about Su Huanyi’s bruises, and she carefully admonished, “Brother Huanyi, remember to apply the medicine.”

Su Huanyi’s auspiciousness appeared again, “Okay!”

After sending Liu’s family off, Yu Xinyan reminded them of the location of the medicine box and went upstairs with Su Jitong.

Su Huanyi stayed in the living room on the principle of putting on a full show, and Su Chi did not leave either.

Su Jianchen wanted to say something, but Su Yu took him away with him on his shoulder, “Second brother, do you want to go to my room to make a model?”

“Third brother, you’ve been extraordinarily enthusiastic about me lately.” Su Jianchen was suspicious, “Did you do something to wrong me again?”

Su Yu chuckled.

The family went upstairs one by one. Su Huanyi sat in the living room, watching Su Chi take the medicine box out and put it on the coffee table.

“Big brother, do you really want to apply medicine?” Does he plan to apply medicine to his own hickeys? Why is this scene a bit psychedelic?

Su Chi poured a few drops of the medicine for activating blood circulation onto a cotton swab, and the smell of the medicine filled the air. He waved the cotton swab in his hand and said, “No, I’m just setting up the scene.”

Su Huanyi had to admire his dedication: “Big brother, your anti-detection skills are really strong.”

The cotton swab was pressed against the trash can, creating traces that it had been used before it was tossed inside. “Mmm.”

Su Huanyi made some career plans for him: “If you weren’t a boss, you’d make a meticulous worker.”

“…”

Su Chi straightened up and patted his head. Then the slight sound of water from the melon head rang out in the living room and said, “Do you hear that?”

Su Huanyi closed his eyes reverently, “This must be the ancient divine beast spreading the oracles.”

A broad palm caressed the top of his head, and Su Chi closed his eyes in response.

Su Huanyi looked at him through the slits in his eyes, “…… What are you doing, big brother?”

“I’m taking advantage of the blessings from the divine beast.”

…………

Su Jitong washed up and sat on the sofa in his bedroom, remembering the bruises on his youngest son’s neck.

The position was so ambiguous that he thought it was something at first glance, which startled him.

Yu Xinyan was at the dressing table doing her skin care treatment. She looked at Su Jitong through the mirror and asked, “You’re not thinking about the card game this afternoon, are you?”

“No way!” There were only the two of them there, so Su Jitong didn’t hide his thoughts. “I was thinking that little Yi is too easily hurt. I saw his marks when I was eating and thought… alas, if he wasn’t in a relationship and I said it, it would have been a bit embarrassing. ”

He then said with vigilance, “Little Yi wouldn’t secretly be in a relationship, right?”

“You’re just thinking nonsense.” Yu Xinyan finished tapping the skin care essence and screwed the cap on, “He was playing with his siblings today and they didn’t separate. Who could he be secretly in love with?”

“Oh…that’s true! Look at me! I’m getting older; my brain is not working well. ”

“That’s called being concerned.”

The couple chatted a bit more, and it was almost ten o’clock before they were ready to turn off the lights. The lights in the room were turned off, leaving only a small carved bedside lamp on.

Su Jitong entered the quilt under the soft light and suddenly paused.

Yu Xinyan turned her head to the side and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you forget to go to the toilet before going to bed?”

“……No, madam.” Su Jitong first laid back on the bed. “I’m thinking that it is time for little Yi to fall in love. The oldest, the second, and the third have all said that they don’t need us to care about their relationship matters, but little Yi hasn’t. Why don’t we ask him some time and see if we should introduce him to someone? ”

“It’s good to ask. We’ve already asked the three brothers. We shouldn’t let little Yi think we’re treating him differently. ”

“Yes, Madam, you are the most considerate!”

The couple reached a consensus and turned off the bedside lamp and went to sleep.

……..

It took two days for the marks on Su Huanyi’s shoulders to dissipate.

He had changed his style of clothes in the past two days to make it more convenient for his big brother to suck further down instead of bouncing around on the edge of danger. Having learnt from the past, Su Chi would ask him politely whether it was okay to sip here or a little further down?

The gesture was a far cry from his actual actions.

“Big brother.” At that moment, Su Huanyi was being sucked again. He craned his neck and groaned softly, “I don’t think it should be in that many places.”

Su Chi looked up from in front of him and said, “This is a multiple choice question. You can choose more than one, but you can’t leave it blank. ”

Su Huanyi looked down at the deep and shallow marks on his front. The ones from the last few days were fading, but today’s were covering them over.

His skin was white, and it looked like fallen plum blossoms in the snow when he looked at it; it was beautiful and bright.

Su Huanyi sighed, “You are a hard-working gardener.”

The hard-working gardener buried his head once again and worked hard.

When the afternoon suck was over, they sat and chatted in the bedroom for a while before they heard Wu Ma calling people for lunch.

Su Huanyi hastened back to his room. Pretending that nothing had happened, he pushed the door open and followed his brothers downstairs to eat.

At the dinner table, the Su family chatted as they ate.

There was no rule of *” no words when eating, no words when sleeping” in their family, and every meal was a time for them to get together and bond.

It was close to the Spring Festival and Su Jitong talked about preparations for the festival. He tentatively set a date for their return home after the New Year.

“Spring will start after the New Year, so I’ll find someone to take care of the flowers and plants back at home as I’ll be busy with the company.” Su Jitong said and then looked at Su Huanyi, who was burying his head in his food, “What is little Yi’s plan?” Will you continue working with the eldest? ”

Su Huanyi stopped eating and then remembered that his probationary period had already expired.

“If big brother doesn’t mind, I’ll continue working for him.”

He said this in a polite and business-like tone, and Su Chi, on the opposite side, looked up and smiled.

Su Huanyi’s heart thumped. He felt that he might not be able to protect the flower garden tonight.

Su Jitong turned to Su Chi, “What does the eldest think?”

Su Chi withdrew his gaze, “He’s doing alright. He can stay if he wants to.”

His tone was even more reluctant, and the tips of Su Huanyi’s chopsticks snapped down two grains of rice.

The two were secretly battling each other when Su Jitong suddenly spoke up, “Work is work, but we can also consider personal issues. Little Yi, you are in your twenties. Have you ever thought about a sweet relationship?”

What the hell! The conversation took an unexpected turn, and the table suddenly fell silent for a moment.

Su Huanyi’s connection to the battle was instantly cut off. The gaze from the opposite side of the table was as substantial, and he broke out in a cold sweat, “There’s no need to be so deliberate …… it will happen when it’s time.” The current situation for example.

Su Jitong and Yu Xinyan looked at each other, and Yu Xinyan then said, “Don’t feel embarrassed. You don’t have many contacts now, so your options are narrow.”

Su Huanyi glanced at Su Chi with narrow eyes; the latter seemed to be restraining himself from making a “heh” sound.

Yu Xinyan: “Look, do you need me to introduce you to someone -”

Clang! The porcelain bowl was heavily placed on the table. Su Chu held his bowl down with an indifferent expression, and Su Huanyi hurriedly refused, “No, no, no, no…no, I’m not mentally sound yet!”

There was a moment of collective silence at the table.

Su Jitong’s eyes were complicated. “Oh, if you don’t want to, then forget it. Little Yi… you don’t have to talk about yourself like that.”

Su Huanyi: “…”

The family went out for a walk after the meal, and Su Huanyi went upstairs to take a shower immediately after they came back. He had just come out of the bathroom when there was a knock on the glass door.

Su Chi was standing outside the door, his eyes dim.

He walked over with the bath towel and opened the door, “Big brother.”

Su Chi looked at the narrow gap between the open doors and said, “The door is well opened, it suits me very well.”

“…”

Su Huanyi immediately pulled the door gap to the maximum.

Su Chi entered and closed the door with a backhand. He hugged Su Huanyi and immediately sucked on the person. The plum blossoms fell below the collarbone, looking bright and beautiful.

Su Huanyi keenly felt that his big brother was in a bad mood from the strength of his sucking. He lifted his arm and pushed back, “Big brother, I have a lot of self-reservation.”

The strength of the falling plum eased.

Su Huanyi then coaxed, “Big brother is the best of among all!”

The movement in front of him suddenly stagnated, and he felt a strong force at his waist in the next moment, causing him to lean back and fall into the soft bed covers behind him.

The weight on top of him was heavy, but it gave a solid and full feeling. Su Huanyi hugged Su Chi’s broad back and felt the hot breath on his shoulder.

Su Chi buried his head and panted slightly, “You only tease me.”

Su Huanyi was wronged, “I’m telling the truth.”

The arm at his waist was tightened, “Stop talking for a while.”

He obediently kept his mouth shut, and they hugged each other for a while. It wasn’t long until Su Huanyi felt a slight shake.

He blushed, “Big brother, just hug, don’t shake..”

The atmosphere stagnated for two seconds, and the weight on his body suddenly lightened. The next second, his arm was picked up!

Before Su Huanyi could react to what was happening, he heard the faint sound of two doors opening from outside the bedroom just as Su Chi quickly pulled him towards the door.

“Brother, are you taking me on a group night run…..”

Su Chi went to his bedroom and looked back at him with eyes full of intense emotions. The male beast was forcibly interrupted from his courtship by sudden danger, and his eyes were fierce and had suppressed emotions. “It’s an earthquake, Su Huanyi.”

Su Huanyi’s breath hitched, and the ambiguous atmosphere dissipated in a flash as the ground shook and he hurriedly followed Su Chi’s footsteps.

The bedroom door was opened with a bang, and the cold wind poured into the open collar. He raised his hand and closed it.

They had just stepped out of Su Chi’s bedroom when they met Su Jitong and Yu Xinyan who were coming down from the third floor.
