CH 87

Su Chi’s palm was hot, his eyes were even hotter, and Su Huanyi understood after a moment’s daze.

No one spoke in the silent room, leaving only his heartbeat pounding in his chest.

The burning heat came through the place where they were pressed together, and his throat was a little dry.

The answer was self-explanatory.

Su Chi had laid the groundwork with him, but when the moment came, Su Huanyi was still a little nervous.

Nervous and expectant, mixed with a hint of shyness.

His fingers trembled as the rough finger pads brushed against his wrist bone, and then he made a soft, inaudible ‘mmm’.

As if it were a signal of permission.

The next second, his line of sight was obstructed and a passionate kiss covered him, flowing from lips to lips and teeth, hot exhalations tossing and turning. Su Huanyi closed his eyes as he let Su Chi claim him.

“Mmm…” a small groan escaped the gap between their lips, and after a brief pause, the kiss became more violent.

The expensive suit fabric crumpled into a ball, no longer as flat as it had been in the daytime. Cheeks, earlobes, the side of the neck, shoulder nooks …… dots of plums blossomed on the white snow.

Su Huanyi tilted his head back, his neck pulling out a beautiful line. He looked up at the ceiling above him, the bright light making his mind go blank.

In the midst of his empty thoughts, he heard Su Chi, who was buried in the nook of his shoulder, whisper, “Do you want to take a shower first?”

The dazed vision refocused and Su Huanyi lowered his head to survey his big brother’s expression. “Does it taste salty?”

Su Chi: “….”

He opened his mouth and bit down, his voice hoarse, “It’s okay, it’s salty nor bland.”

“Hiss…” Su Huanyi’s shoulders shrank. He was very particular, so he said to Su Chi, “It’s better to bathe. What you enter should be hygienic.”

Su Chi abruptly raised his eyes to look at him.

The latter seemed completely unaware of what he had said. Su Chi gave him a deep look for two seconds and finally said, “Good point.”

White mist fogged above a steaming pool of water.

A picture of white snow with fallen plum blossoms was spread out before Su Chi’s eyes, and his fingers stroked along the plum blossoms.

His voice was mixed with the water vapor, “Do you know what to do?”

Su Huanyi’s brain felt like it had been soaked in hot water, and his whole body was dizzy. He looked at the fallen plum picture helplessly, “I don’t really know.”

A pop-up window halfway through his study had scared him.

“It’s okay.” Su Chi whispered, “I’ll teach you.”

The next thing he knew, Su Chi had taken his hand, and step by step, taught him by hand how to draw the most gorgeous picture of white snow and falling plums.

Fingertips brushed and a large expanse of cold snow melted into a pool of warm *spring.

The plum tree stretched it’s branches and the fragile petals were dyed a deep and light red. The pool water rippled in several waves, washing over the blossoming plum flower. The flower was soon held and rubbed into pieces.

“Ah, stop for a moment.” Su Huanyi felt that the teaching was going too fast. He frowned a little and pressed Su Chi’s arm, “Big brother…”

Su Chi’s movements stopped, “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t be so aggressive, be…be gentle…”

He was answered by a burst of water splashing

With Su Chi’s diligent teaching, the plum flower on the snow bloomed almost immediately.

The plum flower sprouted and spread its leaves and water was discharged from the pavilion. The crystal droplets left a translucent trail of water as they rolled down from the tip of the valve.

Outside the warm pool of water, the flower’s fragrance wrapped around the plum tree.

From the side, a single vigorous pine is stretched out, its strong branches tightly intertwined on the plum branches.

The branches and leaves swayed as they left the edge of the pool, and the water droplets that were shaken off fell high in the clouds of mist.

The air was filled with moisture, heat, and hot flushes.

Amidst the swirling clouds of mist, the white snow covered the the pine tree, and it’s flourishing pine leaves fell upon the plum flower.

Su Chi clasped Su Huanyi’s fingers between his, beads of sweat trickling from his forehead, and he lowered his eyes as his patience was now consumed, “The next step is the most important.”

He said, “If you don’t know how to do it, leave it all to me.”

Su Huanyi drew in a slight breath and then relaxed, allowing Su Chi to lead him through painting the rest of the pine and plum picture.

The slender plum branches clung to the thick pine tree, their roots intertwined.

The callous fingerpads were moistened with dye and ran over the plum flower. The filament was delicately traced and the thick hairs embellished briefly. The previously saturated plum flower was nurtured layer upon layer until it bloomed and it’s petals trembled slightly.

The pen brushed the plum flower’s petals open and the whole plum tree shook. The white snow on the pine’s branches rustled and fell apart, looking blindingly white against the overhead light.

A drop of sweat pattered down.

The pine tree’s branches tilted and held onto the snow, the roots and leaves stretching out and coming to life.

The pine, which had never been shaken before, tasted sweet rain at this moment. From then on, it broke free of its restrictions and grew with abandon.

The swaying flower and leaves amidst the winter snow were pleasing before the eyes, and spring went on uninterrupted.

After a while, the entire plum tree suddenly shook in the snow and wind and it’s youth burned up instantly!

Su Chi paused, and then accelerated the speed of his brushwork. The last stroke fell heavily – and a large swathe of ink spilled down between the plum flower.

A few moments later, the pine and plum blossom trees rested, and the mixed fragrance spread through the room.

Su Huanyi’s eyes were closed, his eyelashes fluttering, and his rapid heartbeat slowly calmed down in his chest.

Before he could open his eyes, there was a sudden heat on his lips as Su Chi pressed against his forehead and kissed him.

It was a kiss of love and satisfaction, both warm and tender.

Su Huanyi slowly opened his eyes and met Su Chi’s deep ones.

Su Chi did not close his eyes when he kissed him; he just stared at him, as if he wanted to look through his eyes into the depths of his soul.

All his love was poured into his gaze.

A hoarse voice spilled out from between their pressed lips, “What do you want me to call you?”

Su Huanyi’s heart moved slightly, as if something unspoken had broken through at this moment of their close union.

The tip of his nose suddenly turned a little sour. “Just the same as usual.”

Su Chi looked relaxed and his lips brushed over, “Su Huanyi, I love you.”

Su Chi had called him by his name so many times, but none of them touched him like now.

It had nothing to do with identity or origin, it was just him who was called. Su Huanyi’s eyes became moist, and he wrapped his arms around the person, “Me too.”

He called out his name, “Su Chi…”

It was already dawn when he woke up the next day.

The tulle curtains were drawn tightly, letting in the faint light of the outside world. Su Huanyi was like a salted fish that had been fried on both sides. He struggled to get up in bed, failed, and simply gave up.

He didn’t have to lie down for long before the bedroom door opened and Su Chi walked in. He saw him and asked, “Awake?”

Su Huanyi was now too sore to move, and his voice was hoarse.

He grumbled and forced bitterly, ” Otherwise, am I sleepwalking with my eyes open?”

Su Chi smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed with a thermos container in his hand. His steady steps did not show any sign of overwork.

Su Huanyi was shocked by his meaningful smile and got goose bumps. “What are you smiling at?”

“It looks like I had a good output yesterday.” Su Chi finished scrutinizing him, “You absorbed it well too.”

Su Huanyi, “…”

Why did it feel like Su Chi was *engaging in color?

As if seeing through his skepticism, Su Chi calmly opened the thermos and set out the dishes, “I mean the cultural output.”

Su Huanyi’s attention was immediately attracted, “You brought food up. Do the others know?”

“Yes…” Su Chi enumerated one by one under his cautious gaze, “The dishes were hand-picked by Dad, the thermos container was brought by Mom, the third added a spoonful of rice for you, and the second brought you a cup of coffee.”

Su Huanyi blanked off for a second, “They all know?”

Su Chi made a white lie, “They thought you were too tired yesterday and had overslept.”

Su Huanyi was suspicious, “Really?”

The coffee cup was pushed over, and the handle of the spoon hit the rim with a clanging sound.

His doubts were dispelled at the sight of coffee, and Su Huanyi sighed with relief, “That’s good.”

It would be too shameful if everyone in the family knew what he had done with his big brother last night! He probably won’t do it at home in the future.

“Let’s eat.” Su Chi interrupted his entanglement. His eyes swept over the messy cup of coffee and he mentally gave his second brother a big credit.

His body had already been cleaned up, with only the remaining large traces standing out.

Su Huanyi sat on the edge of the bed, wrapped in the blanket and burying his head in his food. His collar pulled open as he moved, revealing the deep and light red marks underneath.

Su Chi sat next to him and looked at them for a while, then he reached out and pressed his hand on them.

Su Huanyi’s neck shrank and the tip of his chopsticks dropped a cauliflower, “Big brother, what are you doing?”

“How long will it take for these to go down?” Su Chi rubbed the marks on his collarbone. He could faintly see the teeth marks that hadn’t faded away.

Su Huanyi was experienced in this, “Three to five days.”

Su Chi sighed, “It’s fortunate that it’s winter. You don’t have to worry about the family seeing them. In the summer….”

Su Huanyi felt lucky and probed, “We won’t do it in the summer?”

Su Chi said lightly, “They will get used to it by summer. ”

Su Huanyi rested until the afternoon and barely got his breath back.

The villa where the Su family held the banquet was far from the city, and they had to work on Monday. So they returned to the Su family residence that afternoon.

Su Huanyi was wrapped up like a brown bear, and he almost rolled out of the car when he got out. Fortunately, Su Chi salvaged him in time.

“Are you trying to get home as fast as you can?”

Su Huanyi excused himself, “I miss this land.”

“Your feelings are quite heavy.” Su Chi held him under his arm and lifted his foot to get out of the car, “Let’s go.”

Su Yu leaned on the backrest in the back seat and looked at their backs as they left together. He sighed in his heart: his little brother was the only one who could stand his big brother’s mouth.

The family returned to the house and tidied up for a while.

Su Yu had to catch a flight back the next day, so dinner was prepared early.

The table was full of light dishes. Su Jianchen took one look at it and disapprovingly suggested, “We should make some sliced boiled pork or diced chicken with double peppers. Big Brother won the war yesterday; we should celebrate!”

Su Huanyi’s chopsticks twitched.

Su Chi pursed his lips and interrupted, “Second, eat.”

Yu Xinyan turned her head and asked Wu Ma to bring over a jar of chili sauce to shut her second son’s untimely mouth up.

After dinner, Su Huanyi was called to Su Jitong’s study. Father and son sat facing each other, but the situation was very different from the last time.

Su Jitong felt a little emotional in his heart. He said, “Although you and the eldest are together now, the company given to you is still yours, so hurry up and go to work when you are ready.”

The majority of young married couples nowadays are working their own shifts and are getting by just fine. He had no intention of breaking anyone up!

“I know, dad.” Su Huanyi replied obediently.

He didn’t have that much resistance. He was reluctant to separate, but he still had a dull ache in his back up to now.

Thinking about the two big beds that were put together at the office, Su Huanyi felt the situation was unfavorable.

He had to run quickly.

Su Jitong saw how well behaved he was and he was relieved, “Well, go back.”

The study door closed, Su Huanyi had just gone down to the second floor when he saw Su Chi waiting at the entrance of the corridor.

“Big brother, were you waiting for me?”

“Why else would I be standing at the entrance of the corridor, to be a signpost?” Su Chi pulled him into his room. They no longer had to avoid anyone, and they clasped their hands together openly.

Su Chi closed the door and asked, “What did Dad want to talk to you about?”

“He just talked about the branch company.” Su Huanyi said truthfully, “He wants me to take up post quickly.”

The bottom of Su Chi’s eyes sank. He bent down and wrapped his arms around the person and kissed him. “Do you want to go?”

Su Huanyi didn’t expect that such a cool and stable person like Su Chi would be so clingy.

He was kissed and fell back a little, but his waist fortunately held him in place. “There’s nothing to think about. I should start working too.”

They collapsed onto the bed behind him, and Su Chi pressed on, “Since when did you learn to play official with me?”

Su Huanyi looked down at the place against him, “When you threatened me.”

Su Chi: “…”

Given that his body had not yet recovered, the two had a moment of pure bobo before going to bed.

The next day, they went to work.

As soon as Su Huanyi entered the company with Su Chi, he instantly felt that the eyes around him had changed.

Rumors were everywhere before, and the company was on edge. After the banquet, the employees now looked at Su Chi with respect and enthusiasm.

As they passed through the hall, Su Huanyi heard voices of the employees’ discussions coming from behind him, “My friends in the industry all came to me yesterday to ask about Director Su, he’s practically a legend in the business circle.”

“Have you heard? He took all his rival’s assets as his and Assistant Su’s. This wave of operation is too cool!”

“Director Su is forever a God!”

The elevator door slammed shut, isolating the sounds from outside.

In the ascending lift, Su Huanyi looked sideways at Su Chi. His side profile was cold and unruffled, not much different from usual, as if he hadn’t caused that reversal the day before.

“What are you looking at?” Su Chi turned to ask him.

“Nothing.” Su Huanyi suddenly didn’t want to part with him.

It was the first time he had ever experienced this feeling: Su Chi seemed to have a pull on him, and he wanted to stay with him every moment and for a long time.

Su Chi rubbed his hair and said, “Say what you want to say.”

Su Huanyi hesitated for a moment and finally said, “Big brother, I still don’t want to go to the branch.”

He added, “Of course, I don’t mean to be lazy, I still have to work shifts. I just want to express that I don’t want to miss you. ”

Su Chi’s hand slid down and cupped his earlobe, “Don’t worry so much.”

Su Huanyi was optimistic, “Yeah, it’s not a big deal, we can make video calls.”

Su Chi said, “You’re right.”

They followed each other out of the elevator. They were passing by the secretary’s office when Su Chi stopped, “You first go to the office and wait for me. I need to talk to Xiao Qin about something. ”

Su Huanyi didn’t have any misgivings, and he went to the chairman’s office.

After he left, Su Chi walked into the secretary’s office.

Xiao Qin looked up from behind the computer and immediately got up when he saw that it was Su Chi, “Good morning, Director Su.”

Su Chi nodded, “Good morning. What are your thoughts after your last trip to the branch?”

“The system is mature and operates in strict accordance with the standards of the head office, but the average standard of the staff is still a cut short of the head office.”

“That’s to be expected,” Su Chi said after a brief pause. “There is now an opportunity to increase your salary, but your rank may fall.”

“This subordinate is not the kind of person who covets vanity.” Xiao Qin put his glasses on and said, “As long as the money is there, everything is fine.”

Su Chi had a look of appreciation, “Not bad…”

….

Su Huanyi waited in the office as messages kept popping up on his mobile phone’s WeChat “Sniper Squad”.

[Sun Heyu]: “The internet has been flooded with topics on your brother the past two days. @suhuanyi.

[Zhou Qingcheng]:”Several of my buddies have called and asked if I have any more inside information as your buddy!

[Sun Yue]: Do you have any autographed photos? @suhuanuyi my little sisters are willing to buy it at a high price!

Su Huanyi: “…” I wouldn’t expect even a normal photo.

[Zhou Qingcheng]: By the way, Su Huanyi, haven’t you read the news in the past two days? Your big brother is being pushed to the altar!

[Su Huanyi]: Wow!

The rest of the three: “…” where did this melon-eating tone come from.

They were trumpeting Su Chi’s great achievements in the group when the main character at the center of the conversation walked in.

Su Chi walked up to him and said, “What are you doing?”

Su Huanyi found the chat records for him to look through, “Big brother, you have become a god in one battle!”

Su Chi only scanned it, saying, “There’s no such thing.”

“You shouldn’t be so low key, excessive modesty is the same as pride.” Su Huanyi pulled him to the floor-to-ceiling window. “Look, these are the mountains you’ve made!”

Outside the open floor-to-ceiling window was a bustling street scene; employees coming to work punched in regimentally through the front door, and everything was in order.

He was showing it when his hand was held back in the next second–his back thumped against the window, and his lips were kissed.

“Mmm, big brother……”

Su Chi held the person against him and kissed him for a while before withdrawing. His low voice had unresolved emotions, “Does this look like I’ve become a god to you?”

Su Huanyi looked up at him. The bright light of the day was cast from behind and onto Su Chi’s face, reflecting every trace of his expression.

The love in his eyes was deep, and the desire was also strong.

This pine growing on the top of the snow-capped mountain was entwined with plum branches. It had tasted the sweet rain of *qiong juice that it had never tasted before, and was willing to be tainted with the world of mortals ever since.

Su Chi said, “I am only a mortal.”

Even though the outside world was still talking about him, no one knew that he had fallen into worldly love as early as the night when his heart beat was accompanied by the fireworks.
