CH 23.2
Dressed as a Stand-in for the White Moonlight
The next day, Su Yuli opened his eyes. What had happened last night came to his mind little by little. He pulled the quilt up over his head, leaving only the red tips of his ears outside.
Iâm so embarrassed.
Although Su Yuliâs drinking capacity was not as good as heâd claimed, he did have an ability that many people didnât have. He remembered everything that happened after he was drunk.
Su Yuli couldnât help feeling hot when he thought of his bold behavior last night and the way Lin Suiyan looked at him.
Su Yuli covered himself in the quilt and whispered, âSo it turns out that he likes to take the initiative and be enthusiastic.â
The relationship between the two was one step closer. Su Yuli was in a very good mood; he shook his legs. Only then did he notice that he was the only one in the room.
Glancing at the time, it was still early.
What was Lin Suiyan doing?
Su Yuli cleaned up and went downstairs, just in time to see Lin Suiyan coming in from outside.
Lin Suiyan just came back from running. He was wearing white sportswear; soft strands of hair fell naturally across his forehead which was beaded with sweat. The spirit of youth was very noticeable.
Su Yuli was used to seeing Lin Suiyan in suits and leather shoes. It was the first time heâd seen him in sportswear. It really made him look taller and accentuated his long legs. Like this Lin Suiyan looked more like a college student than the president of a company.
Su Yuli waved at Lin Suiyan with a bright smile: â Good morning.â
Seeing Su Yuli, Lin Suiyan paused slightly, then he nodded. His expression as usual: âMorning.â He passed Su Yuli and went upstairs, âIâll go wash up first.â
Su Yuli looked at Lin Suiyanâs back, and thought of the eight-pack abs heâd seen last night. He couldnât help but lower his head and pinch his waist. It was soft.
Su Yuli frowned slightly. Lin Suiyan had been raising chicken and eggs at home for more than a month. His figure was still in such good shape that it seemed like he often worked out.
On the contrary, he, from the time that heâd arrived in this world, had said he wanted to exercise, but he was lazy for such a long time. This wonât work. Itâs time to put exercise on the agenda.
After breakfast, Su Yuli caught a ride with Lin Suiyan to school.
At the school gate, Su Yuli dawdled in his seat, rather reluctant to part. While holding the handle of the car door, he looked at Lin Suiyan with a pair of bright eyes.
Lin Suiyan could only not understand Su Yuliâs eyes. He stuffed the snacks Aunt Xu had prepared into Su Yuliâs arms and said softly: âWeâve arrived.â
Su Yuli looked down at the snack bag in his arms, quite depressed. The expression in his eyes showed that he didnât want to eat.
He looked at Lin Suiyan, and saw that Lin Suiyanâs expression was a little unnatural, as if he were avoiding his eyes.
Su Yuli thought about last nightâs events and his eyes lit up slightly. He thought that Lin Suiyan looked like a ladies man. However, facing the person he liked, he was rather passive. That is, he looked quiet but was very passionate inside.1
Just like in the book, he doesnât like Wen Jin, so he can say all kinds of shameless things. But he doesnât dare to open his mouth when facing Luo Xing. With Luo Xing he was very restrained, just waiting for Luo Xing to seduce or lead him.
When Su Yuli and Lin Suiyan left the party yesterday, Luo Xingâs face was as dark as a pot, but Lin Suiyan didnât even look at him.
Su Yuli thought to himself that Lin Suiyan must have been tempted by him.
Hey, who made him so attractive, that he captured Lin Suiyanâs heart in such a short period of time.
Su Yuli was shy when he thought about Lin Suiyan. But when two people are together, one must take the initiative, otherwise the relationship wouldnât get anywhere.
Su Yuliâs ears were red, but he leaned over and kissed Lin Suiyan on the cheek. This time he didnât run away, but looked into Lin Suiyanâs eyes and smiled at him: âSee you at noon.â
Lin Suiyan nodded with a serious and handsome face: âOkay.â
Su Yuli could clearly see Lin Suiyanâs discomfort, which had never happened before. Su Yuli became more and more sure that Lin Suiyan liked him
Su Yuli smiled secretly in his heart and walked to the school with the snack bag. His footsteps were brisk, as if he were going to fly at any moment.
Looking at Su Yuliâs back, Lin Suiyan raised his hand and touched the place where he had just been kissed. His eyes were dark and unfathomable.
Su Yuliâs figure had disappeared at the gate, but Lin Suiyan was still staring after him. The driver couldnât help but smile and say, âMr. Lin, your relationship is so good.â
Lin Suiyan didnât respond to the driverâs words. He put down his hand and said, âGo to the company.â
Su Yuli was in such a good mood all morning that his smile never subsided.
Yang Shuo couldnât stand it anymore. He poked Su Yuli and said, âBe restrained, youâre smiling so stupidly.â
Su Yuli didnât mind Yang Shuoâs words at all. It was time break time. He took a box of cut fruit out from the snack bag, opened it and put it between them.
Su Yuli invited him : âBrother Shuo, eat.â
Yang Shuo was used to Su Yuli bringing food to school every day, but he couldnât help but say, âAre you here for class or to eat?â
Su Yu He picked a red strawberry and ate it, âItâs break time and this is what Suiyan prepared for me. Itâs all love.â
Su Yuli turned to Yang Shuo as if thinking of something.
Yang Shuo was wary: âWhatâs that look in your eyes?â
Su Yuli smiled and said: âBrother Shuo, you really should find someone to fall in love with. Youâll be so happy itâs like youâre soaking in honey every day.â
Yang Shuo, who picked up his fork and was about to start eating: ââ¦â
Damn, the dog abuse hit him.
Seeing that Yang Shuo wasnât moving, Su Yuli asked suspiciously, âWhy arenât you eating?â
Yang Shuo put down his fork expressionlessly, picked up a book and sat a few meters away from Su Yuli. Su Yuliâs head followed him, and his face was full of confusion.
Yang Shuo said: âIâm staying away from you, so as not to be infected.â
âInfection?â Su Yuli said: âWhat is the infection? Happiness?â
Yang Shuo sneered: âStupidity.â
Su Yuli: ââ¦â
After insulting his friend, Yang Shuo couldnât help but laugh again. He had always been worried that Wen Jin would be deceived by Lin Suiyan, but after contact, he found that Lin Suiyan was quite a good person.
Especially after the last car accident, Lin Suiyan had been injured and hospitalized, but he kept Su Yuli in good condition. He hadnât been injured at all.
After marrying Lin Suiyan, his silly friend was also happy every day. He didnât look worried at all, and his temperament was much livelier, so he must be living happily.
Su Yuli wasnât angry at all after being abandoned by his friend. He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Lin Suiyan while eating fruit.
Lin Suiyan, who was in a meeting in the conference room, glanced down at his phone which had suddenly vibrated.
Wen Jin: Iâve made my brother Shuo angry. He doesnât want to sit with me [sad] [wronged].
Lin Suiyan replied: What happened?
[Wen Jin: I asked him to find someone to fall in love with, which may have hurt his dignity as a single dog. ]
Lin Suiyan thought something serious had happened, but he didnât expect it to be like this.
Across the screen, Lin Suiyan could imagine Su Yuliâs proud expression when he said this, and he couldnât help laughing. During this period of time, Wen Jin was really free and lively.
Lin Suiyan pressed the keyboard and was about to reply when another message popped up from the other side.
[Wen Jin: I told him that people like us who love each other are as happy as if they were soaking in honey every day. ]
Lin Suiyanâs hand on the keyboard paused. He stared at the line on the screen for a long time without moving.
The reporting staff saw Lin Suiyan smiling and in a good mood one second, but in the blink of an eye, he became serious again. His brows furrowed, and he looked absent-minded, unaware of what was going on.
The reporting staff couldnât help but stop, wanting to wait for Lin Suiyan to return to his senses, but as soon as he stopped, Lin Suiyan looked up, âContinue.â
The reporting staff froze and said, âYes, just now I saidâ¦â
While listening to the report, Lin Suiyan turned his cell phone upside down and put it on the table
After Su Yuli sent the message, his cheeks flushed an inconspicuous red. He felt that he was really smart. While sharing interesting stories, he could also let his lover feel his heart.
Beautifully done.
However, after the text was sent, Lin Suiyan never responded.
It wasnât until halfway through the class that Su Yuliâs phone vibrated in his palm. Su Yuli immediately looked down and saw that the text was indeed sent by Lin Suiyan, but it was not the reaction he expected.
Sui Yan: In a meeting. ]
Su Yuli stared at the line of characters, thinking what is this? It shouldnât be like this. You donât dare to say it face to face, canât you do it through the phone?
Su Yuli snorted coldly, and changed the nickname that had just been changed not long ago.
Sure enough, a scumbag is a scumbag, taking advantage of him and throwing him aside.
After the morning class was over, Su Yuli left from the school gate. The car was already waiting outside. He opened the car door and saw Lin Suiyan sitting in the back seat, talking to someone on the phone.
Seeing Su Yuli coming, Lin Suiyan glanced at him and motioned for him to get in the car first.
Su Yuli got into the car and saw that before Lin Suiyan could hang up his cell phone another phone call came in. He looked on and thought to himself that he seemed really busy. Did he misunderstand Lin Suiyan?
Along the way, Lin Suiyan kept answering the phone, and when he returned to Linâs house, the housekeeper came over with a suitcase.
The housekeeper said to Lin Suiyan, âSir, your things have been packed.â
Lin Suiyan nodded, and the driver behind him took the suitcase. Su Yuli looked at the driver and asked, âWhatâs this? Where are you going?â
Lin Suiyan said, âOn a business trip.â
Su Yuli recalled the size of the suitcase and asked, âWhere are you going? How long will you be gone?â
âCountry M, one month.â
âOne month?â Su Yuli exclaimed, âSo long?â
Lin Suiyan looked over, and Su Yuli said a little aggrievedly: âIf you go for a month, we canât even spend Christmas together.â
Seeing Su Yuliâs lost face, Lin Suiyanâs lips moved slightly. But before he could speak, he heard Su Yuli say, âI, Iâm just talking casually. You donât need to be embarrassed. Of course I know that work is important. You donât have time this year. Letâs spend it together next year. There will be many Christmases in the future.â
Lin Suiyan looked at Su Yuli with soft eyes. This boy is really gentle and sensible. He couldnât help raising his hand to rub Su Yuliâs hair soothingly, and softened his voice: âI will try my best to come back to spend Christmas with you.â
Su Yuliâs eyes lit up, âReally? Well, you must remember.â
Lin Suiyan nodded, âYeah.â
As soon as he understood his intentions, he had to separate from the person he liked. Which was undoubtedly a very painful thing for Su Yuli.
But knowing that we can get together at Christmas , there was a little bit of anticipation and sweetness in his heart.
The weather was getting colder, and Mother Wen was sending more and more texts urging him to wear warmer clothes and long pants. Su Yuli responded obediently to the messages from his mother, while copying the content and sending it to Lin Suiyan.
On this day, after taking a bath, Su Yuli curled up comfortably under the quilt with a cup of hot water.
The message that mother Wen had sent him again was telling him to pay attention to his body and keep warm. Su Yuli replied yes, and forwarded message to Lin Suiyan.
As soon as the text was sent, Lin Suiyanâs video invitation popped up. Su Yuli clicked on the connection, and saw Lin Suiyan in a suit with an office in the background.
Su Yuli asked, âWhy are you still in the office and not going out to eat?â
Lin Suiyan also spoke at the same time, âYouâre not sleeping at this late hour?â
After saying that, the two of them froze at the same time, and an ambiguous expression appeared in Lin Suiyanâs eyes. âIâll eat in a minute. Why arenât you sleeping? Donât you have to go to class tomorrow?â
âJust got out of the shower.â
Su Yuli leaned closer to the camera, as if he could get closer to Lin Suiyan. He said: âHow are you doing over there? Are you still so busy?â
âItâs better than when I first got here.â
âThatâs good.â Su Yuli changed to more a comfortable posture and said, âNext week is Christmas. Do you have time to come back?â
Without waiting for Lin Suiyan to answer, Su Yuli added, âIf there is really no time, forget it.â He spoke sensible words, but his eyes were full of urging and expectation.
Lin Suiyanâs heart was soft, and he almost said that he would definitely come back, but his reason was still there. He swallowed the words back before they could escape.
Lin Suiyan said: âI⦠Iâm sorry, I may have to break my promise.â
Su Yuli opened his mouth, and Lin Suiyan could feel his disappointment through the screen.
Lin Suiyan said, âXiao Jinâ¦â
Su Yuli laughed quickly and said, âIt doesnât matter. Work is important. It just so happened that Taozi and the others were going to ski in Jingshan on Christmas Day, so Iâll go out with them.â
Taozi was the girl whoâd dared Su Yuli to kiss Lin Suiyan at the reception that day. Su Yuli had similar interests with them, and has been befriending them during this time.
Su Yuli smiled and said, âBy the way, I will take Brother Shuo with me.â
He put a hand on his lips and lowered his voice: âI think that girl named Taozi is cute. I want to introduce her to Brother Shuo so that he wonât be alone.â
Seeing Su Yuliâs mischievous smile, Lin Suiyan was slightly relieved, and after chatting with Su Yuli for a while, he urged him to sleep.
After hanging up the video, Su Yuli lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a while. He whispered, âWork.â
Although Su Yuli was a little disappointed that he couldnât spend Christmas together, he was more distressed. It was hard for Lin Suiyan to be alone in a foreign country.
Christmas arrived in the blink of an eye. Su Yuli got up early and took Yang Shuo to the designated meeting place.
There were six people with Taozi. Two men and four women, plus Su Yuli and Yang Shuo, there were eight people in total.
The ski resort they went to was not far from City A. This year, the snow in City A came very early. It was only at the end of December, and theyâd already experienced two heavy snowfalls. The ski resort was covered in white, and there were many people who came to ski, making it very lively.
Su Yuli and the others dressed up and took a group photo with a selfie stick. Su Yuli sent the group photo to Lin Suiyan.
Lin Suiyan should be busy and he didnât reply in time. Su Yuli sent another sentence, âIâm going to play, you can work in peaceâ, and put the phone in his pocket.
It was his first-time skiing. When he saw that the people around him were gliding easily, he thought that it wasnât too difficult. Who would have thought that after he got on, he fell into doubt about life.
After Su Yuli climbed out of the snowdrift again he shook the snow off his body. Taozi laughed loudly beside him: âXiao Jin, just looking at your posture, I thought you were a master, but unexpectedly, you turned out to be a novice.â
Su Yuli said, âSister Taozi, pay attention to your image.â
Taozi laughed, âIâm paying attention.â She put on her goggles. âWatch this, little newbie.â
After Taozi spoke she slid down the curve in front of her. The action was elegant and flowing, it was really special. After she went down, another figure also followed, it was Yang Shuo.
Su Yuli didnât expect Yang Shuoâs skiing skills to be so good, so he couldnât help clapping his hands.
When he saw Yang Shuo and Taozi go further away, he couldnât help laughing, hoping that there would be sparks between them.
A boy whoâd come with Su Yuli and the others came over. He was gentle in temperament, not as bad as Taozi, who took pleasure in bullying the little rookie. He smiled lightly, âCome on, letâs practice together. Itâs very simple, you can learn it soon.â
Su Yuli took a deep breath and stood up from the snow, âOkay, letâs go!â
Lin Suiyan looked at his reflection in the car window and frowned. He thought he was crazy.
He didnât deliberately arrange a business trip to country M. It was something he decided after heâd transmigrated here. It was only because he had a car accident that heâd had to postpone it.
Lin Suiyan wanted to use this business trip to calm down his feelings for Su Yuli. Itâs just that he overestimated himself and underestimated Su Yuliâs position in his heart.
The farther away he was, the more he missed him.
In the past few days, Lin Suiyan had been working overtime in M country. Then heâd caught a plane and took a taxi to Jingshan just to see Su Yuli earlier. But when he got there, he hesitated again.
If this side of his is seen, then all his previous efforts would be in vain. Wen Jin would be even more inseparable from him.
Wen Jin undoubtedly likes Lin Suiyan. But Wen Jin, who had just gotten married, hadnât yet reached such a profound level of love for Lin Suiyan.
In the original book, Wen Jinâs love for Lin Suiyan was the result of their years together. Year after year, the warmth of affection soon began to creep in, and in Wen Jinâs heart the love grew deeper and deeper and deeper
Wen Jin has always liked gentle people, but the nature of the Lin Suiyan in the book had nothing to do with gentleness. Everything was just his disguise, made in order to achieve some purpose.
It could be said that the Lin Suiyan, whom Wen Jin loved, had never existed.
This is also why Wen Jin is sometimes cautious when facing Lin Suiyan in the book. He may have felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he was too simple to think deeper.
But with his arrival, Wen Jin became more and more confident, livelier, and more and more dependent on him.
Lin Suiyan knew that Wen Jin loved him.
This love has nothing to do with the shadow disguised in the book. Wen Jin likes him, his voice, his appearance, and his tenderness.
It was precisely because he knew this, that Lin Suiyan didnât want to make Wen Jin sad.
Lin Suiyan pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache.
The driver saw Lin Suiyan sitting motionlessly in the car and not speaking, and said puzzled: âSir, youâ¦â
Lin Suiyan said, âGo back to Hongguang Airport.â
âHuh?â the driver was even more confused. It wasnât cheap to take a taxi from the airport. He hadnât even gone to play yet. Why would he go back?
But since the guest said so, the driver didnât want to say anything. He turned the steering wheel and said, âSir, why donât you go up and have a look? At Christmas, there are many people who come here to play. Itâs very romantic to bring your girlfriend out here to have fun. â
Lin Suiyan ignored the driverâs words. He took out his mobile phone, only to realize that Su Yuli had sent him a message.
Lin Suiyan looked at the group photo, Su Yuli was in the middle of the crowd and smiling brightly. His lips also ticked up and he brushed his fingers over Su Yuliâs face. He thought to himself, I hope you can be so carefree and happy all your life.
As soon as the car turned around, he heard a rumbling sound come from Jingshan. Lin Suiyan turned his head and saw that snow was falling down from the top of Jingshanâs peak. And all the people below it that hadnât reacted yet were overwhelmed.
The driver leaned back and shouted, âItâs an avalanche!â
Wen Jin!
Lin Suiyanâs head was buzzing, and his face turned white. He shouted, âStop!â The driver was startled and hurriedly parked the car on the side of the road.
Lin Suiyan opened the car door and quickly ran towards the snow field.
