CH 80

Thank you Juure for the Ko-Fi!! Here is a bonus chapter in dedication.

The sturdy bed shook for a while.

The local earthquake was not strong, but it lasted for a long time. The steep and majestic mountain also gave a slight shake after ten minutes of tremors.

The strong tree roots entangled on the surface, and some rocks rolled off the top of the mountain during the tremors, falling down its slopes and into the lush grass at its foot.

The prolonged earthquake made Su Huanyi flustered. He tried to descend the mountain, only for Su Chi to firmly hold him back in place.

“Big brother….”

“Be good ……” Su Chi kissed him soothingly and said, “It’s almost over.”

Su Huanyi did not believe it. Which earthquake could be controlled?

The earthquake was most pronounced in the epicentre. After twenty minutes of shaking, the mountain suddenly trembled and a raging mudslide spurted and slid down from the top!

It took a while for the tremors to stop, and Su Huanyi’s knees went weak as he collapsed and calmed down.

Su Chi hugged him from behind, his breathing still messy. His forehead was pressed against the back of his neck, and his shirt was wrinkled and even a little stained at the hem.

Su Huanyi slowed down his violently pounding heart. “Big brother, didn’t you say you came to nap?”

“Plans can’t keep up with change. We’re PNB,” Su Chi said as he bit into the red mole on his neck.

Then he turned Su Huanyi over like a dried salted fish, got up, and drew paper to clean up the man.

Su Huanyi lay lazily and unmoving. The epicentre of the earthquake was on fire. He said that it was cold before but the temperature had now gone up.

There was less than an hour left in the lunch break after tidying up.

Su Huanyi couldn’t sleep in his bed anymore, and the two hunkered down in Su Chi’s bed. He nestled into the crook of Su Chi’s arm and said, “Big brother, I’m so sleepy. I want to sleep. ”

“You can sleep. When did I refuse you to sleep? ”

“You just stopped me from sleeping.”

Su Chi tucked in the blanket, “Go to sleep. You won’t be able to sleep anymore if you say two more words. ”

It was after two o’clock in the afternoon when Su Huanyi got up from his lunch break.

Su Chi stood in front of the bed and fastened the buttons, while Su Huanyi slowly slipped into his trousers, unable to hold back a “hissing” sound.

“Hurt?” Su Chi walked around the end of the bed and came up in front of him. He bent over and gently probed the inner thigh with his hand, and rough fingers grazed over the bruise, “A little broken skin, you’re too fragile.”

Su Huanyi felt that he was adding fuel to the fire and hurriedly put on his trousers and tucked in the hem of his shirt in two tries, “Big brother, don’t touch it. I’ll apply some medicine when I go back home. ”

“I’ll help you.”

The familiar words made Su Huanyi look up with instant alarm—

Su Chi took his hand back and added, “Apply medicine.”

The metal buckle clicked and clasped shut, and Su Huanyi breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a knock on the office door just as he emerged from the lounge. They had just gotten up from the same bed and were now in the solemn office but Su Huanyi still felt a little guilty.

“Big brother, who’s here?”

“Why are you nervous? It’s not like they’re here to check the bed. ” Su Chi looked calm and collected as he walked straight to his desk and sat down. “Come in….”

The door opened and the one who pushed in was Xiao Qin, who had disappeared for most of the day.

Su Huanyi’s heart fell back down. It was fine if it was Xiao Qin. He was one of their people.

Su Chi cast a glance at him.

“Director Su…” Xiao Qin put the documents in his hand on Su Chi’s desk after entering the door. Su Chi retracted his eyes, responded, and began to listen to his report.

Su Huanyi returned to his seat to compile the minutes of the morning’s meeting and plan the week’s schedule.

About half an hour later, Xiao Qin finished his report and got up to leave.

Su Huanyi took the opportunity to pop his head out from behind the computer and ask, “Secretary Qin, are you leaving the office again?”

The metal-framed lens reflected the bright light overhead, and Xiao Qin said, “Yes, Assistant Su. May I ask if there is anything you need?”

“It’s nothing.” Su Huanyi waved to him, “Goodbye Secretary Qin, I will miss you.”

“Thank you for your love, Assistant Su.”

The office door slammed shut.

Su Huanyi sat down at the desk in thought, “Big brother, Secretary Qin used honorifics with me just now.”

It’s not even the end of the month. Something is wrong, but what could it be?

Su Chi asked lightly, “You’re quite concerned about Xiao Qin.”

The place that was rubbed red was faintly aching, and Su Huanyi was highly perceptive at this moment! He carefully speculated based on Su Chi’s expression, “After all, he’s big brother’s secretary.”

Su Chi raised an eyebrow and looked back at him without comment.

It was nearing the end of the day, and Su Huanyi still had a small amount of work on his hands.

He flipped through the documents until the end and said, “Big brother, there are too many things today. I will work overtime if you need them urgently. ”

Su Chi raised his eyes and said, “How long will it take?”

“About two hours.”

“Then go back when you’re done.” Su Chi’s eyes went back to the computer in front of him, and the sound of keyboard tapping crackled in the office. “I’ll also stay and work late. I’ll order dinner. ”

Su Huanyi asked politely, “May I order, big brother?”

The phone thumped on the front of the smooth, heavy wooden table, and Su Chi politely motioned to him, “Feel free.”

Su Huanyi ordered and went back to sorting through the documents. There were dozens of documents passing through his hands today, all on different matters, and it was a lot of work to sort through them.

He tilted his head back after a while to rest his stiff neck and picked up his phone to check his messages.

He hadn’t had time to look at his phone during the afternoon, and only now did he see that there were already 50 or 60 messages from the “sniper squad”, and some private messages as well…

[Sun Heyu]: Damn, what’s the situation? Why are there rumors about you and your eldest brother spreading these days?

[Zhou Qingcheng]: @suhuanyi You should know that the rumor started at the party that day.

I’m so mad. I should have known not to invite so many people to the party. There were so many people with evil intentions!

[Sun Yue]: So is it true or not? Cute @suhuanyi

[Zhou Qingcheng]: Whether it’s true or not, I heard that several families have privately joined together to muddy the Su family’s water first, and then take advantage of the chaos to carry out business attacks.

[Sun Yue]: people’s house issues are none of their business! [Angry]

[Sun Heyu]: That’s true. But the Su family has grown so fast over the past few years. The pie is so big that if you take more of it, others will take less.

Now that they’ve caught a fault, they want to bite off the piece of meat.

[Zhou Qingcheng]: Wait, I’ll post the few companies I know to the group.

After going through the chat history, Su Huanyi clicked on the list of documents that Zhou Qingcheng had sent to the group. He looked through them and frowned slightly. Something looked familiar.

He put the phone aside and picked up the pile of documents at hand. He quickly flipped through them and finally found information on these rival industries in one of the folders.

Su Huanyi: “….” it seems big brother already knew about it and I have unknowingly been fighting against these rival forces all afternoon.

Su Huanyi settled down and turned back to the group to reply.

[Su Huanyi]: My big brother and I are real! [yippee]

Thank you, folks. Don’t worry about those scoundrels. My big brother said he would burn them as firewood!

He finished posting his message in the group, completely unaware of the two earth-shattering bombs he had dropped. He put his phone down and went back to work, picking up the documents energetically to fight the forces of evil.

–Meanwhile, the three people at the other end who saw the message:

Sun Heyu and Sun Yue were shocked. Shit, it’s true!

Su Huanyi, this little fool, had actually subdued the god-like Su Chi…

No, the point should be: have these two brothers really crossed the forbidden horizon?

Zhou Qingcheng was even more frightened than the Sun siblings: Su Huanyi said it! He had said it!

And what did Su Chi mean when he said “burn them as firewood”? Did he mean turn them to ashes?

At this moment, the group trembled violently across the network at the same time!

Su Huanyi kept fighting until 5:00. He estimated that the takeaway would arrive soon and took a break from work.

It was also the time when the company officially closed for the day. Looking down from the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see the employees leaving the office in twos and threes.

Su Huanyi leaned on the glass and searched for the takeaway rider in the thin crowd below.

Su Chi looked at him for a few seconds. There was only a metre between them, but Su Huanyi didn’t even glance at him and Su Chi frowned. He got up and pressed the person against the glass window. “You’re such a big bucket, why can’t you accommodate just me?”

Su Huanyi the dormant rice bucket:”… ”

Su Huanyi felt aggrieved. He thought about his big brother even when eating and sleeping. There is no more room!

He turned his back against the floor-to-ceiling window, allowing Su Chi to put his hands on either side of him. “Don’t be unreasonable, big brother.”

The floor-to-ceiling window behind him was so bright and spacious that he could see the staff below when he turned his head. Su Chi lowered his eyes and asked, “Am I being unreasonable?”

“No, you’re not.” Su Huanyi saw his frown loosen, and he replied wittily, “You’re just a troublemaker, hehe!”

Su Chi: “…” He directly lowered his head and bit right down on the other person.

“Mmm!” Su Huanyi’s breath stagnated for a while, and only then did he feel what real troublemaking was.

The door was knocked on halfway through the office bobo, and Su Huanyi raised his hand against Su Chi’s back and retreated. The receptionist came in with a takeaway as she said, “Director Su, the meal you ordered has been delivered.”

The meal box was placed on the magnificent desk, and Su Huanyi sat opposite Su Chi after the receptionist had left.

The four dishes and one soup were still steaming, and the sky outside gradually darkened. The wide floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the figures of the two people, and the white smoke looked warm.

While they were eating, Su Huanyi shared the group chat messages he had seen this afternoon.

“Big brother, is it as Zhou Qingcheng said?”

“Pretty much.” Su Chi stretched out his chopsticks to pick out the messy pepper in his bowl, saying, “This matter has nothing to do with our relationship. Interests make the situation like this, so you shouldn’t think too much. ”

“Then wouldn’t big brother be carrying a big pot?”

The peppers rolled off halfway through. Su Chi retrieved his chopsticks and picked them up with paper, “Don’t say tongue twisters while eating.”

“Okay…” Su Huanyi went back to the main topic, “They have joined forces to suppress us. Why do they have to pull a reason?”

Su Chi enlightened him, “What do rebellious subjects do before making a move?”

Su Huanyi suddenly understood, “They make a cover-up to clean up the ruler’s side!”

Su Chi happily rewarded him with a piece of oily, shiny meat.

The Su family had done nothing wrong, but the potential crisis had to explode someday.

Su Huanyi picked at the fluffy white rice, recalling the plot of the original book.

At one point, the original owner betrayed the Su family by stealing secrets and selling them to rivals.

As a result, Su Chi beat them at their own game and eliminated them in one fell swoop. His strategy temporarily shocked the business world, and no one dared play dirty tricks in front of the Su family from then on.

After he came, things changed a lot, but he didn’t expect that, after a big detour, the main plot would still return to Su Chi as one against many……

“Su Huanyi.” A voice pulled his attention back to

“Hmm?” Su Huanyi returned to his senses and looked at the other side blankly.

Su Chi’s eyes swept over the tips of his chopsticks. “Is that a new way to eat, anise instead of rice?”

Su Huanyi looked down at the star anise that was about to go into his mouth. He was silent for two seconds before closing his eyes to sniff it. “I just want to smell its fragrant aroma.”

“If you like it so much, should I tie a bunch for you and put them on your bedside?”

Su Huanyi: “….”

He replied coyly, “There’s no need to be so kind to me.”

The two finished eating and cleared the table.

Su Huanyi was about to go back to his seat to continue working when his wrist was suddenly clasped.

He turned his head to look at Su Chi. The latter was standing by his desk looking at him, with the darkness of the night behind him.

“We’re all going to work a little harder during this time.” Su Chi gently rubbed a thumb against his wrist bone as he said slowly, “Su Huanyi, it’s not that I don’t love you anymore, you know that, right?”

Su Huanyi’s heart thumped, “I know.”

He couldn’t imagine why Su Chi suddenly said this.

Maybe he misunderstood that he was going to get angry this morning, or maybe because he had to work overtime and Su Chi was afraid that he didn’t feel loved so he said it on purpose.

Su Chi asked him again, “What do you know? That it will be hard, or that I love you?”

Su Huanyi blushed a little and said, “I know big brother loves me.”

“It’s good that you know.”

His hand was still being rubbed delicately, and Su Huanyi saw that the atmosphere was good, so took the opportunity to speak, “Big brother, have you been brewing something all this time?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“It should be quite obvious.” Su Huanyi said uncertainly, “But I’m too fish-brained to guess what you’re thinking.”

Su Chi reassured him, “You’re not fish-brained, you just don’t read enough.”

There was a momentary lapse in the nice atmosphere, and Su Huanyi looked at Su Chi deeply: what a comforting big brother!

He touched his heart, “Big brother does love me.” He was so touched.

Su Chi noticed the look in his eyes and laughed, “Have you ever read the Book of Changes?”

Su Huanyi put aside his over the top acting skills for the moment and obediently revealed an inquisitive gaze, “I would like to hear more about it.”

Bony fingers ran through his fine, soft hair, ruffling the stupid hairs on the top of his head, which flexed softly in response to the force.

Su Chi said, “Yin and Yang complement each other and lend each other strength to fight.”
