Chapter 57
No, Su Yuli then thought. Heâd returned to his original world for three days, Wen Jinâs body should be in a state of deep sleep. If Lin Suiyan wasnât at his bedside then where was he?
Su Yuli sent Lin Suiyan a WeChat message and asked him where he was. This person usually replied to his messages in seconds, but this time Su Yuli waited for a long time but there was no answer.
Su Yuli wondered if he was working overtime in the company? He felt concerned about this, but it wasnât good for him to call Lin Suiyan, lest he disturb him.
But Su Yuli had inexplicably transmigrated back. He had thought that heâd never see Lin Suiyan again and was feeling very panicked. He now desperately wanted to see Lin Suiyan, wanted to hug him, and talk to him.
Su Yuli held his mobile phone, and finally put on his coat and got up and left the room. As soon as he left the room, he bumped into Aunt Xu.
Su Yuli looked at the rice porridge in Aunt Xuâs hand and wondered, âAunt Xu, whatâs this?â
âXiao Jin, you havenât slept yet? Aunt Xu smiled kindly at him, âSir is still busy in the study, so I cooked porridge for him.â
Su Yuliâs eyes lit up when he heard that Lin Suiyan was at home, he took the porridge bowl and said, âAunt Xu, you go rest. Iâll take it to Suiyan.â
Aunt Xu said with a smile, âAll right.â Then she asked him if he wanted to eat any, because there was still some left in the pot.
Su Yuli shook his head, thinking that he would see Lin Suiyan soon, he was in a very good mood. His lips couldnât help but lift up, and his whole body seemed to be glowing.
Seeing Su Yuli in high spirits, Aunt Xu breathed a sigh of relief: âI thought you two had quarreled. Iâm glad youâre all right.
Su Yuli blinked in confusion: âAh? Quarrel?â
âItâs just these two days I always feel that the atmosphere between you is strange. And sir has been staying in the study for the past two days, and hasnât gone back to his room to sleep.â
Aunt Xu said with a sigh of relief, âIâm getting old. You used to do everything together, now that itâs like this Iâm overthinking it. Itâs good that you didnât quarrel. â
Su Yuli was somewhat stunned. Hearing what Aunt Xu said, in the few days since he went back, his body has been active?
Su Yuli pressed his doubts down and said to Aunt Xu, âAunt Xu, the company has been busy recently, and Suiyan and I have always had a good relationship. Donât worry.â
After Su Yuli finished comforting Aunt Xu, the smile on his face fell as soon as he turned his head. He thought to himself, what the hell was going on? He pushed open the door of the study worriedly, and the moment he saw Lin Suiyan, the restlessness and anxiety in his heart disappeared.
Perhaps because he was so tired these days, Lin Suiyan sat behind the table with his head bowed, apparently asleep. Su Yuliâs heart was soft, he gently closed the door, and he couldnât help but walk quietly.
He put the porridge bowl on the table, then stayed in front of the sleeping Lin Suiyan, and looked down at him.
He had to admit, that Lin Suiyan had a good face, slender knife-shaped eyebrows, a high nose and a pair of pale thin lips. The more Su Yuli looks at it, the more he likes it, and he couldnât help but reach out and touch Lin Suiyanâs cheek. .
Lin Suiyanâs long and thick eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes and met Su Yuliâs expectant gaze.
Lin Suiyan, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed. He glanced at his surroundings and the clock on the wall before he looked at Su Yuli: âXiao Jin, why are you here? Why are you still up so late?â
Su Yuli was filled with the joy of âlosing then regaining somethingâ, and he didnât notice that Lin Suiyan looked at him differently than usual. His smile didnât reach the bottom of his eyes, but was full of artificial affection.
Su Yuli said, âWhen you are sleepy, go back to your room and sleep. What if you get a cold?â After saying that, he picked up the porridge bowl that heâd put aside: âBy the way, Aunt Xu cooked this porridge. Youâve been busy until now. Do you want to eat something?â
Seeing Su Yuli leaning over to feed him, Lin Suiyan smiled and blocked it: âNo, Iâm not hungry.â
Su Yu sighed but didnât think much about it. He thought that he was tired and had no appetite. He asked Lin Suiyan to go back to his room to take a shower, then he sent the porridge bowl back to the kitchen.
Aunt Xu hadnât slept yet, and was waiting in the kitchen. Seeing Su Yuli come down, she forced him to eat something.
âYou didnât eat much at dinner. Are you hungry?â
Su Yuli felt a little hungry, so he sat down and ate half a bowl of rice accompanied by Aunt Xu.
When Su Yuli returned to their bedroom, Lin Suiyan had already fallen asleep. Su Yuli quietly went to the bathroom in the bedroom to rinse his mouth. He lifted the blanket and climbed into bed. After lying down, he found Lin Suiyan sleeping on the edge of the bed.
The bed in their bedroom was huge. Su Yuli and Lin Suiyan usually laid in the middle. Although he would squeeze Lin Suiyan to the side of the bed when he woke up in the morning, when they fell asleep, they were glued together.
Su Yuli turned his head to look at the distance between the two of them. At this time two Luo Xingâs could be stuffed in between them.
Yuck!
Realizing what he was thinking, Su Yuli spat in his mind several times. He turned off the light and lay down again. After thinking about it, he leaned over and called Lin Suiyan.
Lin Suiyan breathed steadily and didnât respond. Su Yuli whispered, âYou fell asleep.â
Although Su Yuli really wanted to touch Lin Suiyan, he thought of the tired look on Lin Suiyanâs face that he had just seen. Â It was obvious that he had been busy the past few days and hadnât slept well.
He couldnât bear to wake up Lin Suiyan, who had to go to work tomorrow.
Su Yuli stared at Lin Suiyan who was asleep for a while, and then thought about the fact that heâd transmigrated back without warning that day. Although he was back now, it was difficult to guarantee that when he woke up, he wouldnât go back again.
Su Yuli didnât dare to sleep for a while. He thought he could stay up all night, but he was very tired physically, as if he hadnât had a good rest for several days. Without knowing it, Su Yuli fell asleep.
The room fell into silence. In the darkness, Lin Suiyan, who was originally âsleepingâ, slowly opened his eyes. Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound coming from his side. It turned out that Su Yuli was too hot, so heâd kicked off the blanket.
Lin Suiyan glanced at Su Yuliâs exposed body indifferently, and without the intention of pulling up the quilt for him, he closed his eyes again.
When Su Yuli woke up, it was already bright outside. Looking at the familiar environment, he felt a little at ease.
Su Yuli stretched and wanted to ask for a good morning kiss as usual, but when he turned his head, he found that the space beside him was empty. Lin Suiyan was not there.
Su Yuli touched the place where Lin Suiyan had been lying, there was no heat. Lin Suiyan had obviously been away for a long time.
Su Yuli looked at the time. It was 7: 30 in the morning. At this time, Lin Suiyan should have still been doing morning exercises. He sat up, only to find that heâd kicked the quilt off, with only one corner still tucked around his calf.
Su Yuli threw off his quilt and got up to go to the bathroom. He couldnât help sneezing on the way. He rubbed the tip of his nose and murmured in a low voice, âOops, I caught a cold.â
Su Yuli washed and changed clothes and went downstairs. Before Aunt Xu could speak, he turned his head and sneezed.
Aunt Xu was putting breakfast on the table. When she heard the movement she looked back and asked worriedly âXiao Jin, how did you catch a cold?â
Su Yuli went down the stairs: âThe air conditioner is running too low. Aunt Xu, do you have any medicine?â
âYes, Iâll get it.â
Su Yuli nodded, and when he turned his head, he found Mr. Lin sitting at the dining table with a newspaper in his hand, but his eyes were on him.
Su Yuli walked over and pulled out the stool to sit down and said, âGrandpa, itâs just a small cold. It doesnât matter. Donât worry.â
Mr. Lin said, âDonât neglect your health just because youâre young. When you get older, it will be too late.â
Su Yuli obediently responded, and Elder Lin put down the newspaper and said, âLetâs eat.â
Su Yuli said, âGrandpa, Suiyan hasnât come back yet. Why donât we wait for him?â
Aunt Xu put the cold medicine and soy milk in front of Su Yuli and smiled: âSir went to the company early in the morning. Hereâs the medicine. You can take it after dinner.â
Su Yuli: âHuh?â He looked down and went to flip through his phone, âHe didnât tell me anything.â
Su Yuli sent a message to Lin Suiyan. Lin Suiyan replied that his work from yesterday hadnât been completed, and he had to go to in to the company earlier.
Su Yuli didnât doubt him. He reminded Lin Suiyan to remember to eat breakfast, and also that he was going to school and that he would go to see him at noon. Lin Suiyan gave a brief reply of good, and then there were no more messages.
Su Yuli stared at the lonely and cold word âgoodâ on the chat page. He frowned, and then thought that Lin Suiyan was really busy, so he wouldnât bother him.
Heâd only gone back to his original world for three days. Now that heâd returned again, Su Yuli found that he missed the people of this world very much.
This is not to say that he doesnât miss his family and friends in his original world. However, he knows that he will eventually return to his original place of life. But he doesnât know when heâll leave the world of âSubstitute.â
So he cherished his time with the people here very much.
When Su Yuli saw Yang Shuo in the classroom, he rushed over and gave Yang Shuo a bear hug, and was carried to his seat by Yang Shuo in disgust.
âAre you alright?â Shuo Yang looked at Su Yuli and taught him, âIf you are married, donât hug men casually. I donât want to be on Mr. Linâs blacklist.â
Su Yuli said with a smile, âWeâre brothers. We havenât seen each other for a few days. I hug you to show that I miss you. Suiyan wonât mind.â
Yang Shuo said, âWhat havenât you seen in a few days? Havenât we been attending classes together in the past few days?â
Su Yuli let out an âahâ sound. Yang Shuo looked at him and said, âI see that you are in a good mood today. Is everything all right with Lin Suiyan?â
Su Yuli asked in confusion: âSuiyan and Iâ¦. have something wrong?â
Yang Shuo said: âYesterday you said that Lin Suiyanâs attitude towards you was weird. You were worried about something but looking at you today, you should be fine.â
Su Yuli blinked. Yang Shuo had already lowered his head to fiddle with his phone.
All of Su Yu Liâs knowledge of transmigration came from novels. He had inexplicably transmigrated into the novel âSubstituteâ then went back inexplicably, and then returned inexplicably. His entire body was in a daze.
Su Yuli thought hard, but couldnât think of an explanation. Instead, he exhausted himself. When he tilted his head, he saw Yang Shuo bowing his head and sending a message to someone, with a smile on his lips.
Su Yuli immediately put the annoying thing behind him, and he poked Yang Shuoâs arm: â Brother Shuo, who are you talking to, laughing so happily? Is there something going on?â
Yang Shuo raised his eyebrows, his face was beaming with happiness and he was obviously in a good mood.
Although Yang Shuo didnât speak, Su Yuli still understood. He happily said, âIs it my sister-in-law? Thatâs great, brother Shuo. Youâre finally off the list. Ask sister-in-law out to dinner, my treat.â
Yang Shuo raised his lips: âDonât be impatient. Wait a little longer.â
Su Yuli understood in seconds that they were in an ambiguous period and hadnât yet determined their relationship. He believed that he had a very good relationship with Lin Suiyan, and began to advise Yang Shuo.
Shuo Yang usually looks like a cool guy but he is silly when he has a crush on someone he likes. He was really serious about taking lessons from Su Yuli.
Unconsciously, a morningâs time passed, Su Yuliâs mobile phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Lin Suiyan but unfortunately it wasnât good news.
Looking at Su Yuliâs defeated face, Yang Shuo asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âSuiyan wonât go home for lunch because heâs working overtime.â
Yang Shuo put his arm on Su Yuliâs shoulder: âThatâs alright. Letâs eat together at noon. Iâll call Xiao Yuan.â
Su Yuli thought about it: âThen Iâll tell grandpa.â
