CH 27
Dressed as a Stand-in for the White Moonlight
The next day, Su Yuli opened his eyes and saw Lin Suiyan handing over a red envelope.
Su Yuli had been here for so long, and it was only last night that he became a real husband with Lin Suiyan. Last night, heâd really become a man.
Su Yuliâs cheeks were slightly red. He took the red envelope. After being happy for a while, he whispered, âYou scared me.â
Lin Suiyan said, âHuh?â Su Yuli patted his chest and said, âI thought it was money for sex. It scared me to death.â
Lin Suiyan: ââ¦â
Su Yuli was still talking: âThatâs what the scumbags in novels do. The night before, they are all sweet. Then the next day you wake up and he throws a handful of money on the bed.â
He lowered his voice and said the classic scumbag line:â You did well last night, this is a reward for you. Hey, how miserable.â
Lin Suiyan narrowed his eyes dangerously, he took a step closer, and chuckled: âOh? Scumbag.â
When Su Yuli met Lin Suiyanâs dark eyes he finally realized the danger he was in. He laughed and scooted backwards twice before Lin Suiyan grabbed him by the ankle and pulled him back.
Lin Suiyan easily trapped Su Yuli under his body, pinched his face and said, âScumbag? Huh?â
Su Yuliâs arms were above his head and he begged for mercy inarticulately: âI quit⦠I quit, and I wonât dare again next time.â
Lin Suiyan seemed to think that Su Yuliâs words were very cute, and he squeezed his face a few times, feeling the warmth of his hands
Looking at Lin Suiyanâs soft smile, Su Yuli lowered his arms. He wrapped them around his neck, and leaned forward to ask for a good morning kiss.
The two were devious for a while.
âI wonât bother you anymore,â Lin Suiyan said in a gentle voice. Lin Suiyanâs eyes were full of Su Yuliâs reflection. He pulled Su Yuli up, tidied up his clothes for him, and said warmly, âLetâs go downstairs and say New Yearâs greetings to Grandpa.â
Su Yuli smiled and said: âOkay.â
Elder Lin had already dressed, packed up, and sat down on the sofa in a dignified manner, waiting for Su Yuli and Lin Suiyan to come down to pay New Yearâs greetings
Su Yuli stood with Lin Suiyan, and glanced at Lin Suiyan from time to time. He knew that in some places, the New Yearâs greetings followed the tradition of kowtowing to the elders. He looked at Lin Suiyan, ready to follow suit, so as not to embarrass himself.
He saw Lin Suiyan cup one hand before the other to greet Old Man Lin and say, âGrandpa, Happy New Year.â
No need to kneel. Su Yuli breathed a sigh of relief. With a bright smile on his face, he said to the old man, âGrandpa, Xiao Jin is here! Â I wish you a good day, good health, good luck, and a good mood every day. Happy New Year, Grandpa!â
âOkay, okay.â Old Lin smiled and took out two sealed red envelopes from behind him. One of which was handed to Su Yuli, and the other was put away.
Old Man Lin pretended to be angry and taught Lin Suiyan. âLook at Xiao Jinâs ability to talk. Your New Yearâs greetings are the same every year, Theyâre perfunctory. This year, your red envelope, is gone.â
Ah, the red envelope heâd gotten was about to fly away. Su Yuli could only sigh, it was a distressing feeling. Although he wasnât short of money, he received the red envelope with happiness as the blessings of the elders to the younger generations.
During the New Year, what Su Yuli is most looking forward to is the New Yearâs greetings and red envelopes. He judged others by himself, and felt that Lin Suiyan must also want to receive this red envelope.
Su Yuli said: âGrandpa, he was just nervous and unprepared. You ask him to say it again.â
Old Man Lin glanced at his grandson and hummed, âLet him say it a hundred times Itâs still the same words.â
âNo.â Su Yuli walked over to Old Lin and sat down, saying, âGrandpa, please give Suiyan another chance. If what he said doesnât satisfy you, we wonât take this red envelope.â
âGive him a chance?â Old Lin looked into Su Yuliâs eyes and asked with a smile.
Su Yuli nodded. âI promise, he will speak very well this time.â
Old Lin glanced at Lin Suiyan and turned to Su Yuli: âOK, then Iâll give you another chance.â
Su Yuli was in high spirits. He got up and walked to Lin Suiyanâs side and said, â Come on, say something. Say something to me.â
Su Yuliâs fighting spirit was so high that Lin Suiyan couldnât help laughing and said, âOK, go ahead.â
Su Yuli said to Suiyan: â Grandpa, I wish you a happy life in the new year, a longer life than the South Mountain, a happy smile, good luck, seven bright stars, and good fortune from all directionsâ¦â
Lin Suiyan repeated it after Su Yuli.
Old Lin watched Su Yuli and Lin Suiyan cheating in front of him, and the smile on his face never faded. After listening to the comment, he said, âOkay, well said, well said, and keep it up in the future.â
He handed a red envelope to Lin Suiyan.
Old Lin returned to the nursing home that night.
Later, Su Yuli and Lin Suiyan visited relatives and friends, and went back to the Wenâs house. Su Yuli came back with a bunch of red envelopes. As Lin Suiyan said, he became a little rich man.
Soon, Lin Suiyan started to go to work, while Su Yuli was still on winter vacation.
On this day, Su Yuli received a party invitation from Taozi.
Taozi said that they are all friends of fate and it was really inappropriate not to go out to get together during Chinese New Year. It just so happened that Yang Shuo had also returned to City B from his home, so everyone was there.
Su Yuli told Lin Suiyan about the party, which was held at a bar called Yeshi.
Lin Suiyan nodded. Young people like lively places, and itâs normal to go to bars. There were many of them, and Yang Shuo was also going to be there so Lin Suiyan was very relieved.
Lin Suiyan said: âItâs good for good friends to get together, so I wonât go. In case you canât have fun.â
When Taozi sent a message to Su Yuli, she specifically asked if Lin Suiyan had time. When she heard that Lin Suiyan said he wanted to go to work, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Taozi and the others are all students. Facing a successful person like Lin Suiyan, there is still some admiration and jealousy in their hearts.
Of course, the most important point is that their group of people, except for Su Yuli, were all single dogs. They donât want dog food at all.
Last time at Jingshan Ski Resort, in Taoziâs words, after returning home, she was sour for half a month. She was very sad that she didnât have a boyfriend.
Lin Suiyan helped Su Yuli pack the gifts prepared for Taozi and the others, and said, âI have one request.â
Lin Suiyan laughed, he held Su Yuliâs hand: âItâs not about that, well, of course this is also very important. What I want to say is that the bar is full of good and evil people. Donât separate from your friends. I will pick you up later.â
âOkay.â Su Yuli kissed Lin Suiyan on the face, âIâve got it, donât worry.â
When Su Yuli arrived at the bar, Taozi and the others hadnât arrived yet, but Yang Shuo had arrived early.
âBrother Shuo.â Su Yuli sat down beside Yang Shuo and handed him his gift, âHappy New Year.â
âHappy New Year.â When Shuo Yang finished speaking, he noticed Su Yuliâs clothes and frowned. âWhy did you come to the bar dressed like this?
Su Yuli was wearing a white down jacket with a black sweater underneath, which was simple and refreshing. Itâs just that his appearance doesnât match the bar.
Su Yuli took off his down jacket and put it aside. â Hey, Iâm married, so I wonât show off my charm to compete with you for the little brothers and sisters.â Su Yuli said with a smile.
Yang Shuo: ââ¦â
He shouldnât have asked.
Su Yuli was concerned about the life events of his good brother. He remembered that Yang Shuo had been alone in the original work. Now that he and Lin Suiyan are happily together, Yang Shuo should also have somebody to love.
Su Yuli lightly bumped Yang Shuoâs arm, âBrother Shuo, how far have you and Sister Taozi developed?â
âTaozi?â Yang Shuo was puzzled, âWhat are we going to develop?â
Su Yuli thought he was playing dumb, and said simply, âDonât you like Taozi?â
Yang Shuo said, âTaozi has a straightforward personality and is also interesting. I like her a lot, but not that kind of like. Itâs the kind of like for a friend, like how I feel for you.â
Su Yuli: ââ¦â
Itâs a pity that he can treat such a beautiful girl as a buddy.
However, Taozi and Shuo Yang have known each other for quite a long time, and there was no spark yet. It is estimated that it really is hopeless.
Su Yuli said, âBrother Shuo, which type do you like?â
Yang Shuo glanced at him with a smile: âWhy? Do you want to introduce me to someone?â
Su Yuli smiled and said, âJust asking casually.â
Yang Shuo thought about it carefully and said, âI like those who are gentle and sensible. Of course, the appearance canât be too bad, after all, Iâm very handsome, the other half must match me. Well, to be specific, she should have fair skin, long eyelashes, big eyes, preferably long smooth hair, and long legs.â
Yang Shuo, who has excellent family and personal abilities, is not a low-key person. When talking about his future partner, his eyes are full of smiles and self-confidence.
Su Yuli repeated the conditions that Yang Shuo said, and said shamelessly: âIsnât that just me?â Brother Shuo, I canât see it. It turns out that you have always had a crush on me. But alas, I already have someone in my heart.â
Yang Shuo laughed and scolded: âFuck you, are you begging for a beating?â
They were making a lot of noise when Taozi came over.
Taozi said: âWhat are you talking about, so happy?â
âJust chatting.â Su Yuli said, âSit down.â
After Taozi arrived, the others arrived one after another.
Taozi ordered some snacks and fruit, and asked for some drinks. Someone on the stage was singing. The sound was very soothing and pleasant.
Taozi said: âDoesnât this place have a good environment?â
Su Yuli nodded. It was not yet midnight, and there were not many people here. They chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. As time went by, the number of people in the bar gradually increased.
Su Yuli was listening to the funny jokes from his partner when he heard a crisp âbangâ next to him. It was the sound of a wine bottle hitting the ground.
Everyone in the bar was startled, including Su Yuli, who looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in overalls standing not far from him.
The young man was thin, wearing a white shirt and suit pants, making him look taller with longer legs. When seeing the young manâs face clearly, Su Yuli was slightly stunned. This man was Ding Yuan.
