CH 23.1

Lin Suiyan held the wine glass and said to the young people, “Xiao Jin drank a bit too much tonight. I’ll drink this cup for him.”

Su Yuli tried to stop him, but Lin Suiyan had already finished drinking. He whispered, “How can you drink? The doctor said you should avoid alcohol.”

Lin Suiyan smiled and said, “It’s fine.”

Those young people had good eyesight. They wisely gave them some space to be alone.

Luo Xing, who remained on the balcony, clenched his fists as he watched Lin Suiyan and Su Yuli sitting together.

It’s only been a month, Luo Xing Xin thought.  It’s only been a month, and Lin Suiyan has changed his mind?

Just because of a car accident? Just because he hadn’t gone and seen him?

No, Lin Suiyan definitely still loved him. After so many years of feelings, could he really let go so easily? Lin Suiyan must’ve been seduced by Wen Jin. Or else he’d never treat him so coldly.

This is all Wen Jin’s fault.

Su Yuli didn’t know that someone was holding a grudge on him. He felt that it was worthwhile to attend this reception and to figure out his feelings. He sat sprawled on the sofa in a good mood.

Lin Suiyan poured Su Yuli a cup of warm water. Looking at his slightly squinted eyes, he couldn’t help laughing: “How much did you drink tonight?”

Su Yuli waved his hand and smiled stupidly: “It’s okay, I wouldn’t get drunk even if I drank a thousand cups.”

Lin Suiyan laughed: “The self-proclaimed Thousand Cups isn’t drunk.”

He held out two fingers and shook them in front of Su Yuli. “How many is this?”

Su Yuli grabbed Lin Suiyan’s fingers and held them in both his hands, and said with a smile, “It’s five!”

The wine those young people drank while playing games was not champagne, but a foreign wine with a high concentration of alcohol. It’s normal for Su Yuli to get drunk after drinking so many cups.

Lin Suiyan shook his head. Since Su Yuli was drunk, he didn’t stay long and left with Su Yuli.

Someone asked him: ” Mr. Lin, are you leaving so early?”

Lin Suiyan grabbed Su Yuli’s arm to prevent him from walking around. Su Yuli was very good when he’s drunk.  He didn’t make any noise or trouble or drunken antics.

Lin Suiyan said, “Xiao Jin has drunk too much. I’ll take him back first.”

Su Yuli said, “I’m not drunk.”

Lin Suiyan said softly, “Well, not drunk then.” He nodded to the person in front of him and took Su Yuli out.

Su Yuli shouted that he was not drunk, but he followed Lin Suiyan back home obediently.

On the way, Lin Suiyan called home and asked Aunt Xu to prepare sober soup.

Lin Suiyan led Su Yuli into the house and said: “I didn’t keep an eye on him. Aunt Xu, where is the hangover soup?”

“It’s ready.” Aunt Xu said, “I’ll bring it right away.”

Lin Suiyan was also worried that Su Yuli would not cooperate. Unexpectedly, Su Yuli caused no trouble. He put the sober soup in front of Su Yuli, and Su Yuli drank it obediently without saying a word.

It’s just that Su Yuli kept looking at him while drinking soup. Lin Suiyan thought it was very interesting and asked, “Why are you looking at me?”

Su Yuli said, “Because you look good.”

Lin Suiyan smiled, got up and said, “It’s getting late, go back to your room and rest.”

Lin Suiyan took Su Yuli upstairs. He placed Su Yuli on the small sofa beside the bed and went into the bathroom to adjust the water temperature.

Suddenly he heard footsteps coming from behind him. Lin Suiyan turned his head and saw Su Yuli walking over. Lin Suiyan was trying to adjust the water temperature and said: “Wait a minute, it’ll be ready soon.”

Then he said, “You go to the closet and get a change of clothes.”

Su Yuli stood there and didn’t move.

Lin Suiyan shook his head. What was the use of him saying that to someone who had drunk too much? He’d better find it himself later.

Lin Suiyan suddenly found it very interesting. When his arm was hurt, it was Su Yuli who took care of him and helped him to bathe. But today it had changed around.

Su Yuli stared at Lin Suiyan’s profile for a while, then he walked over.

Su Yuli came behind Lin Suiyan. Then stretched his arms out on either side of Lin Suiyan’s waist while pressing his hands against the wall. In this way, Lin Suiyan was trapped between his arms.

Looking at the arms framing his body, Lin Suiyan paused. He was about to turn around when he felt Su Yuli’s forehead press against his back.

Lin Suiyan’s stopped turning and, he said, “Xiao Jin?”

Su Yuli hummed and then asked, “Lin Suiyan, am I good-looking?”

Lin Suiyan didn’t hear what he said, so Su Yuli asked again.

Lin Suiyan was puzzled and somewhat amused. Listening to Lin Suiyan’s deep laughter, Su Yuli’s heart trembled slightly. He said fiercely, “Don’t laugh, answer my question.”

Lin Suiyan’s voice had a distinct smile in it. He said, “You look good.”

Su Yuli asked again, “Am I good looking, or is the one surnamed Luo good looking?”

“The one surnamed Luo?” Lin Suiyan paused for a while before he remembered who Su Yuli was talking about. “What does this have to do with Luo Xing?”

Su Yuli said, ” It doesn’t matter. Just tell me who looks good, him or me.”

Lin Suiyan said, “Of course you are good-looking.”

What Lin Suiyan said was the truth. Su Yuli’s appearance is very good, and his mind is pure, never harming others. With him, he felt very comfortable.

Luo Xing was good-looking, with a gentle temperament, but Luo Xing has too many thoughts.

No matter how much the complexity of the mind is hidden, it can be reflected in a person’s face. Luo Xing’s eyes are not so clear, giving people a feeling of deep scheming. Lin Suiyan doesn’t like such people, or you could even say, he hates them.

Su Yuli seemed very satisfied with this answer, and he asked again, “Then do you like him or me?”

Lin Suiyan only thought that Su Yuli had drunk too much. So he gently comforted the little drunk: “Of course I like you. “

“You really like me?” Su Yuli’s heart was as sweet as honey, and then he became angry again, “Liar.”

Lin Suiyan laughed, “What did I lie to you about?”

Su Yuli said: ” You say you like me. Then why don’t you want to… make out with me? We sleep together every day, and you don’t do anything.”

Lin Suiyan held Su Yuli’s arm and turned around. Su Yuli stared at him with burning eyes. There was some grievance in his eyes, “I dreamed of you a few days ago.”

Su Yuli’s ears turned red as if thinking of the contents of that dream.

Lin Suiyan was silent. He looked at Su Yuli for a while, and sighed lightly: “Xiao Jin, you are drunk.”

“I’m not drunk.” Su Yuli shook his head again, “No, I’m drunk.” He whispered, “It’s good to be drunk. It’s good to be drunk.”

Su Yuli began to undress. He took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned his tie, and unbuttoned his shirt. Lin Suiyan grabbed Su Yuli’s hand and stopped him.

Su Yuli stared at Lin Suiyan’s hand for a moment, then slammed Lin Suiyan into the wall. He leaned over, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Lin Suiyan’s lips as he did at the reception.

But this kiss was different from the one at the reception, which had been a brief superficial kiss1. Su Yuli had quickly left after he’d  kissed him..

This time, Su Yuli pressed against Lin Suiyan’s lips and didn’t leave for a long time. He awkwardly kissed Lin Suiyan.

The shower head in Lin Suiyan’s hand fell to the ground, and the warm water sprayed both of them. But at this time, neither Lin Suiyan nor Su Yuli had time to worry about the shower.

Lin Suiyan lowered his eyes to look at Su Yuli in front of him. Su Yuli was also looking at him. His eyes were full of love, with a hint of shyness and joy.

Lin Suiyan’s eyes darkened. He raised his hand to hold Su Yuli’s head in place, and deepened the kiss. With a flexible tongue, he pried open Su Yuli’s lips and attacked the territory inside.

“Hmm…”

It’s a little dirty, but he likes it!

Not like this kiss, but he likes Lin Suiyan, the person.

Su Yuli realized that he really liked Lin Suiyan. If Lin Suiyan dared to kiss him like this in the past, he would have jumped up and beat him to death. But now, he enjoyed it very much.

Su Yuli responded by imitating Lin Suiyan. It was some time before Lin Suiyan let go of Su Yuli. Both of them were out of breath.

Lin Suiyan held Su Yuli’s cheeks with both hands, and carefully wiped the water droplets from Su Yuli’s face with his thumb.

He was not a saint, and in the face of such a lovely and kind boy, it was impossible to say that his heart wasn’t moved. But he knew he shouldn’t be.

In Lin Suiyan’s eyes, Su Yuli is a little boy. He was well protected by his family. He didn’t know or understand anything. He thought that he was wholeheartedly loved, so he can show his love without reservation. But Lin Suiyan can’t do that. He must be responsible for the boy in front of him.

If at the beginning of transmigrating over Lin Suiyan had decided to protect Wen Jin out of a moment of soft-heartedness, then now, he was hoping from the bottom of his heart that Wen Jin can be happy.

He’d transmigrated inexplicably, and there was no guarantee that one day he wouldn’t leave without warning.

If he goes back, what will Wen Jin do? Can he accept the lover who once loved him deeply  become a disgusting liar?

Even if he told Wen Jin the truth of his transmigration, with Wen Jin’s temperament, he was afraid that he would wait for him to return.

Moreover, in the world where Lin Suiyan originally lived, he had family and friends. Those people were very important to him and he had to go back.

He must be as calm as water. Without any nostalgia for this world, otherwise, when parting, he would definitely be hurt and broken, and the pain would be unbearable.

Therefore, no matter from what aspect, Wen Jin must stay away from Lin Suiyan, only in this way can he be happy.

Looking at Su Yuli’s red cheeks, Lin Suiyan eyes flashed with a touch of remorse. These days he had been restrained very well, but today he’d lost control.

It was Wen Jin who was drunk, not him.

Lin Suiyan frowned, but Su Yuli’s desire/passion was completely hooked by the kiss just now. He went to pull off his drenched shirt but Lin Suiyan quickly grabbed his hand and stopped him from moving.

Su Yuli said: “I feel uncomfortable.” He looked at Lin Suiyan, and boldly and frankly expressed his wish: “Husband, let’s do it.”

With such eyes, such voice, and that “husband” , I’m afraid that no man would be able to calm down when he sees or hears it. The key is that it’s the person he loves.

The veins stood out on Lin Suiyan’s forehead, and his hand tightened unconsciously. Su Yuli cried out in pain, and said pitifully, “It hurts.”

Lin Suiyan immediately relaxed his strength, then quickly tightened it again. He whispered, “Don’t touch me again.”

Lin Suiyan took a deep breath and looked at Su Yuli with a dangerous look in his eyes, but Su Yuli didn’t realize it.

Finally, Lin Suiyan held Su Yuli’s waist and pushed him against the wall.

…

The lights went out in the bedroom, only the boundless moonlight came in and landed on the ground, and the light and shadow were very subtle and beautiful.

Lin Suiyan put on his clothes and sat at the head of the bed. Su Yuli lay beside him, his cheeks flushed and he slept soundly.

Lin Suiyan furrowed his brows. Although he and Su Yuli didn’t make it to the end, they did some intimate things that only lovers could do.

At the moment when he came to this world and decided to keep Wen Jin by his side, Lin Suiyan had expected that they would have a conflict because of “consummation.”

No one could stand it- that his lover had no desire or expectation for him.

Lin Suiyan was already mentally prepared. He had been waiting for the day when Wen Jin’s feelings erupted. But he didn’t expect that the way Wen Jin would erupt would be so cute… so cute that his proud self-control collapsed. .

It turns out that it’s true that people can’t help themselves.

Thinking of Su Yuli’s frankness just now, Lin Suiyan’s lips raised slightly, but it quickly flattened again.

Lin Suiyan has been a person with a stable temperament since he was a child. He doesn’t like being out of control, but now, this matter is far beyond his control.

Lin Suiyan lowered his eyes and looked at Su Yuli’s sleeping face beside him. He was so innocent and ignorant, so carefree, even in his sleep, he was smiling.

Lin Suiyan hoped that he would always be so happy, but the person who accompanied him should not be him, can not be him.

Lin Suiyan tucked Su Yuli in, sighed lightly. It couldn’t go on like this.

1.蜻蜓点水- lit. the dragonfly touches the water lightly / superficial contact (idiom).

T/L: Ahhhh! They finally figured out they like each other! Or at least SY has figured out what he likes…

Anyway, this is the longest chapter out of the whole novel. After this one they won’t be divided in two again. See you guys in the second half!
