CH 62
Dressed as a Stand-in for the White Moonlight
When Su Yuli returned to Linâs house, it was past midnight. Pushing the door open, he almost collided with Lin Suiyan.
Lin Suiyanâs jacket only had one sleeve on, and he looked like he was in a hurry, obviously wanting to go out to find someone. When he saw Su Yuli coming back, he pulled the man to him and asked with concern, âWhy did you come back so late and didnât answer your phone? Do you know how worried about you I was?â
The living room was brightly lit, and both Aunt Xu and Uncle Kang were there. Aunt Xu came over and said, âYou scared me to death, Xiao Jin. Fortunately, you came back. I almost called the police.â
Uncle Kang continued, âItâs good you came back, itâs good you came back.â
Looking at Lin Suiyanâs handsome face close at hand, Su Yuli gritted his teeth to control himself so that he didnât punch Lin Suiyan.
Seeing that Su Yuliâs cheeks were flushed and his breath was unsteady, Lin Suiyan thought he was ill. He raised his hand to check his temperature, and saw Su Yuliâs body swaying. He seemed to take a step back unsteadily. Lin Suiyanâs outstretched hand fell away empty.
Su Yuli seemed to have drunk too much. He didnât notice Lin Suiyanâs actions. He said to Aunt Xu and uncle Kang, âIâm fine. I got together with my friends today. I forgot the time for a while, and my phone ran out of power. Iâm sorry I made you worried.â With that, he glanced at the living room and noticed that Mr. Lin wasnât there.
Lin Suiyan seemed to know what he was thinking and said, âI told Grandpa that you were with your friends, and heâs already asleep.â
âThatâs good.â Su Yuli was relieved, although he didnât want to see Lin Suiyan, he didnât want the old man to worry.
Seeing that Su Yuli had returned safely, Aunt Xu and Uncle Kang went to rest with confidence. Only Lin Suiyan and Su Yuli were left in the huge living room. Su Yuli closed the door behind him and heard Lin Suiyan say softly, âNext time you do something, tell me in advance, and Iâll pick you up.â
As soon as Su Yuli turned around, he saw Lin Suiyan looking at him seriously. His eyes were full of worry. His anger flared up at once. He knew all about it, and he was still acting in front of him.
Su Yuli laughed mockingly: âYouâre so busy. Do you have time to pick me up?â
Lin Suiyan was stunned. The next moment, he saw Su Yuli lower his head and rub his face. âIt doesnât matter to me. Work is important.â The sharp sarcasm just now seemed to be just Lin Suiyanâs illusion.
âYouâ¦â As soon as Lin Suiyan said a word, the phone rang. He glanced at Su Yuli and picked up his phone.
âHeâs back.â Lin Suiyan replied briefly, then asked sharply, âIs there anything else?â
The other side hesitated for a moment then said there was nothing. Lin Suiyan thanked him and hung up the phone. Seeing Su Yuli staring at his cell phone, Lin Suiyan explained, âItâs Ding Yuan. He asked if you were safe at home. Were you with Ding Yuan and Yang Shuo today?â
Su Yuli nodded: âYeah, you donât know, do you? Brother Shuo and Xiao Yuan are in â¦â
He suddenly stopped talking. Su Yuli used to like to share his feelings and trivial matters in life with Lin Suiyan, but now he didnât want to.
Su Yuli lowered his head, and then thought again. Yang Shuo and Ding Yuan were together, he seemed to have forgotten to bless them. He took out his cell phone and wanted to add a belated blessing, only to find that his fingertips were shaking. He couldnât unlock the phone after poking it for a long time.
Lin Suiyan obviously realized that Su Yuli was in a bad mood. He held Su Yuliâs hand and said, âXiao Jin?â
Su Yu Lili blinked and pushed back the sourness in his eyes. He pushed Lin Suiyanâs hand away and said, âIâm fine. I just drank too much. I⦠Iâm going to wash up. I smell of alcohol.â
Lin Suiyan stared at Su Yuliâs back as he walked away, and his eyes sank faintly.
Su Yuli stayed in the bathroom for more than half an hour. After taking a bath, he had completely calmed down. He also drank wine, cried and talked. He has already finished what ordinary people do after being hurt by love, so there was no need to indulge any more.
Su Yuli reached out to wipe the mirror. The white mist on the mirror dispersed, revealing his slightly red face, which was still as handsome as ever. Su Yuli compared a v1Â to himself in the mirror. From this moment on, he wanted to be himself again.
Su Yuli dried his hair and came out of the bathroom. He saw Lin Suiyan sitting at the head of the bed with a bowl of sobering soup at hand. Su Yuli stepped forward. When Lin Suiyan saw him coming out, he brought him the sobering soup: âDrink some, it will make you feel better.â
Su Yuli took the hangover soup, and his eyes couldnât help but stop on Lin Suiyan. During this time, Lin Suiyan always slept in the study on the grounds of working overtime. It was rare that he came to the bedroom today.
Su Yuliâs first reaction was that the visitor was not good. Then he really heard Lin Suiyanâs words: âXiao Jin, letâs talk.â
Su Yuliâs eyes drooped naturally, and the dark hangover soup clearly reflected his eyes. There was no pain in his eyes, only a note of mockery. He thought that Lin Suiyan had been treating him as a transparent person for the past few days, now he took the initiative to show his favor today because of Luo Xing. After all, he still occupies the seat of âMrs. Linâ, if Luo Xing wants to enter the door of the Lin family, he must make his way out.
And Mr. Lin was in good health and liked him very much. If Mr. Lin knew that Lin Suiyan was hooking up with Luo Xing, he would definitely not agree. He might even kick Lin Suiyan out of the house.
Su Yuli felt a little uncomfortable speculating with such malice on the person he once loved, but he quickly suppressed that emotion.
Su Yuli looked into Lin Suiyanâs eyes and said naturally, âOh, what do you want to tell me?â He said to himself, isnât it just acting? Youâre not the only one who can act.
Lin Suiyanâs attitude was the same as usual. His eyes looking at Su Yuli were very gentle, as if he was not the one who flirted with Luo Xing in the garden that day, as if he was not the one who neglected Su Yuli these days.
Lin Suiyan said: âUncle Kang said that you went to Shenghua to find me that day.â
Su Yuli reflected and remembered that Shenghua was the place where the dinner was held the other day. It was there that he discovered Lin Suiyan and Luo Xingâs adultery. Su Yuli never dreamed that Lin Suiyan dared to mention the events of that day. Was it because he was sure that he had disguised himself well? Didnât he find out?
The anger that was suppressed in the bottom of his heart surged up again. Su Yuli lowered his head and took a sip of the hangover soup, the sweet and sour taste calmed him down a bit.
Then he heard Lin Suiyan continue: âUncle Kang said that you left soon after you arrived at Shenghua.â
Su Yuli thought he would say why didnât wait for me, but what Lin Suiyan said was: âDid you see something? Or did you hear something?â
Su Yuli grit his teeth and said to himself yes, yes, this young master saw and heard it. You still have the face to ask. Iâm a little regretful now I have some regrets now. I should have jumped out and severely cleaned up this pair ⦠this pair â¦
Looking at Lin Suiyanâs face, Su Yuli couldnât bear to say those three words.
He took the bowl and sat down on the sofa next to him, so as to avoid Lin Suiyanâs gaze: âThat day, I woke up and wanted to look for you. I didnât find you when I got there but I didnât feel well, so I came back first. Did something happen at the dinner party?â
Lin Suiyanâs brows furrowed slightly as he relaxed a little. He seemed to be relieved and said, âItâs nothing. Itâs just that Aunt Xu said that youâve been in a bad mood for the past few days. I thought you blamed me for not staying with you that day.â
Su Yuli blinked and then pulled up the corner of his mouth: âAm I so ignorant? You promised to go, how could you not go?â His tone was the same as usual, with a smile and playfulness.
Lin Suiyanâs serious face didnât relax with Su Yuliâs smile. He said, âXiao Jin, I know you have many questions and grievances in your heart these days. I canât explain it to you yet. Youâ¦â
âI understand.â Su Yuli didnât want to listen to Lin Suiyan or see his acting skills. He interrupted him and said, âI know what youâre doing. I know everything. Donât worry. Iâll give you my full support.â
ââSupport you to be with Luo Xing, who regards wealth as his destiny, only wants to climb up, and doesnât love you at all! Scumbag!
Lin Suiyan was stunned: âYou know?â
Then he nodded his head and his eyes relaxed completely. âYes, you know. My Xiao Jin the smartest, of course you know.â
Su Yuli had an impeccable smile on his lips, but he was dying of anger. The acting was the same as the real thing. Does Lin Suiyan think him a fool?
Lin Suiyan seemed to be in a good mood. After a while, he seemed to think of something and asked, âThen I donât think you are in a very good mood today?â
Su Yuliâs mind spun quickly and he said, âOh, I just think brother Shuo is too ungrateful. I introduced Xiao Yuan to him. People say that rabbits donât eat the grass near their nests. Thatâs too much.â
After a pause, he said, âI didnât tell you. Brother Shuo is with Xiao Yuan.â
Lin Suiyan didnât look surprised. He nodded and said, âItâs quite good. Letâs choose a gift for them another day.â
Su Yuli smiled: âOkay.â
It was getting late. Lin Suiyan took out his pajamas from the closet, and turned to discuss with Su Yuli: âWhen this matter is settled, letâs go out for a walk. Where do you want to go? Iâll let someone book the air tickets and hotel.â
Su Yuli thought to himself, itâs time to solve me so that he can go out for his honeymoon with Luo Xing, but there was no sign on his face: âI havenât thought about this. Wait for me to research places first.â
âOkay.â
Lin Suiyan went to wash up, and Su Yuli put the cold hangover soup on the table, and took a deep, long breath. At this moment, there was no anger in his heart, only deep admiration, admiration for Lin Suiyan and Luo Xing.
Donât you ever get tired of wearing a mask?
He was tired anyway.
Su Yuli lifted the quilt and lay down. He hoped that he could return to his original world as soon as he opened his eyes and never come back again. However, in the next few days, Su Yuli didnât go back. The days when he frequently transmigrated back seemed like a dream he had.
Su Yuli spent a few days meeting with the lawyer and prepared the divorce agreement. Taking advantage of Lin Suiyanâs âovertimeâ, he put the divorce agreement on Lin Suiyanâs desk and left the Lin family. He didnât go back to the Wenâs home, nor did he go to join his friends. . Instead, he asked for a leave of absence from the school, and then set off on the journey alone, with a backpack.
In order not to be disturbed, Su Yuli turned off his mobile phone, and naturally missed some explosive news in the gossip group.
â About Luo Xing.
With his bag on his back, Su Yuli walked on and off. He had no intention of going anywhere. Before he knew it, half a month had passed. He came to a quiet seaside town with simple folk customs and beautiful scenery, which has always been very popular with tourists. It was the off-season, so there werenât many tourists in the town, but it also has a different flavor.
Su Yuli booked a bed-and-breakfast, changed his clothes and went out. He wandered around before finally sitting down on a bench by the street with a bag of beer.
After some time, a man came and sat down beside him.
It was Mu Lang who he hadnât seen for a long time.
Mu Lang had lost a lot of weight, and his clothes were very casual, just like the big brother next door. He looks easy to get along with, but his face is gaunt and a little ⦠lonely.
Su Yuli looked at Mu Lang. He just wanted to say he was still haunted by him, when he found that Mu Lang rudely bent over and touched a can of beer from the bag at his feet.
Su Yuli stretched out his hand: âIf you want to drink, pay.â
Mu Lang raised his eyebrows, and Su Yuli knocked on the chair, indicating that he was serious: â10,000 yuan.â
Mu Lang smiled: âYouâre robbing money.â That said, he still took out his mobile phone to transfer money to him.
âTake out your cell phone.â
Su Yuliâs cell phone was always turned off. He glanced at Mu Lang: âOwe it first.â
Mu Lang said: âThen I will transfer it to Suiyan.â
Su Yuli rolled his eyes, thinking to himself- youâre so affectionate, your face is really thick. He reached out and held Mu Langâs phone: âIâll beat you up if you transfer it to him.â
Mu Lang couldnât help laughing. Before Su Yuli could get angry, Mu Lang put the phone back, and he said, âYour temperament is very different from the results of my investigation.â
Su Yuli didnât bother to answer him. Mu Lang asked again, âDidnât Suiyan come with you?â
Still not getting an answer, Mu Lang said clearly deducted, âHave you had a quarrel? What happened to make you so angry? Come on, tell me in detail, and Iâll help you analyze it.â
Su Yuli finished drinking a can of beer and squeezed the can. After crushing it, he threw it in the trash can not far away with great accuracy.
He opened another can and took a sip before slowly saying, âDo you think Iâll tell you my sad story for your amusement?â
Mu Lang supported his head with one hand and said with a smile, âYou know my tragic past better than anyone, donât you? How could I laugh at you.â
Su Yuli remained expressionless, but he couldnât help but ask, âWhy are you here?â
âCome out to relax.â
Su Yuli thought of the look on Mu Langâs face when he left the Lin family that day, and snorted softly.
During this period of time, he had been busy, and he didnât have the energy to pay attention to the Mu familyâs affairs. Now that he saw Mu Lang, he remembered that he didnât know what happened next.
It was as if he knew what Su Yuli was thinking, or maybe Mu Lang just wanted to find someone to talk to. He told him what had happened after he left the Lin family.
Mu Lang was still very resourceful. Realizing that he has been deceived, he went back and began to investigate. He finally found out the truth of the matter.
Yao Pei was hand-picked by Mu Lan. However, later, his power and ambition became bigger and bigger, and he finally made an irreparable mistake.
Mu Lan could not tolerate the sand in his eyes, even if he brought it out by himself. But he was soft hearted after all. He didnât want to be too ugly, so he asked Yao Pei to resign voluntarily.
Yao Pei naturally refused. After so many years, he has finally achieved his current position. How could he just say that he didnât want it? For this reason, he even knelt down to Mu Lan, but Mu Lan still didnât soften his heart.
Yao Pei was not reconciled, and with a fierce heart, he attacked Mu Lan.
The car accident was planned by Yao Pei. Later, when he realized that Mr. Lin was investigating this matter, he panicked and started to think of a solution. At that time, he noticed Mu Lang. He wanted to use Mu Langâs hands to get rid of Mr. Lin.
Yao Pei was smart. However, he ended up being too smart for his own good. If he was peaceful, and didnât borrow a knife to kill someone, then Mr. Lin couldnât find him.
By the time Mu Lang finished speaking, it was already a little late.
Su Yuli drank the last sip of beer and expressed his feelings after listening to the story: âAll these years, you were so focused on revenge that you would give up Xiao Yuan?â
Mu Lang didnât expect Su Yuli to mention this. He was stunned at first. Then he smiled bitterly and said, âYou have to stab me in the heart, donât you?â
Su Yuli had no pity for Mu Lang. He mercilessly inserted another knife: âXiao Yuan is very happy now. If you dare to trouble him, I wonât let you go.â
Mu Lang used to do whatever it takes to get revenge, even his lover could be discarded. But now the knot in his heart has been resolved. It was impossible to guarantee that he wouldnât go back to Ding Yuan. Su Yuli didnât want him to destroy the relationship between Ding Yuan and Yang Shuo.
Mu Langâs smile completely disappeared. He was silent for a long time before he whispered, âI know, I wonât bother him, itâs me⦠Iâm not worthy of him.â
Su Yuli nodded, put the empty beer can into the plastic bag by his feet, got up and left.
Mu Lang said behind him: âHey, you havenât told me why you quarreled with Suiyan.â
Su Yuli waved his hand without looking back: âI donât know you that well.â
Su Yuli loved this seaside town and stayed here for a long time. Mu Lang didnât leave, and from time to time came to talk to Su Yuli, although most of the time he would be turned away.
On this day, Mu Lang finally blocked Su Yuli in a restaurant, for the first time he said: âIâm still curious, you usually follow Suiyan like a tail. What kind of conflict made you run away from home for so long?â
Su Yuli ate pasta and glanced at Mu Lang blankly: âMr. Mu, why didnât I know you were so gossipy before?â
âI used to be so tired. Now Iâm comfortableâ Mu Lang said, âCan you tell me?â
Su Yuli was tired of being bombarded by fatigue these days. He was already annoyed and Lin Suiyanâs affair with Luo Xing couldnât be hidden so he said, âItâs nothing. Lin Suiyan cheated. Weâre getting divorced.â
Mu Lang was drinking coffee brought over by the waiter. He almost choked. He couldnât help saying, âSuiyan cheated? I donât believe it. Who is the other person?â
Su Yuli put down his fork and stared at Mu Lang said: âYou and Lin Suiyan have known each other since childhood. Do you think he likes Luo Xing?â
Mu Lang said, âNo way.â
After thinking for a while, he added, âFor a while, he was very concerned about Luo Xing, but that was just pure appreciation. Luo Xingâs ability is still very strong. Later, when Suiyan met you, all his attention was placed on you.â
Su Yuli said coldly, âIâm just a substitute he used to protect Luo Xing.â
The corners of Mu Langâs mouth twitched slightly. For a moment, he didnât know how to continue the topic.
Su Yuli didnât notice Mu Langâs strangeness, he rolled up the spaghetti and whispered,  âWait, it wonât be long before you see them hand in hand walking into the marriage hall⦠No, itâs in the grave of love.â
Finally, Mu Lang couldnât help laughing. Su Yuli said unhappily, âWhat are you laughing at?â
Mu Lang was unable to restrain his smile: âNo, itâs nothing.â Instead of continuing this topic, he raised his chin at Su Yuli: â You look so handsome today, where are you going?â
Itâs been almost a month since Su Yuli last transmigrated back to the world he used to live in. He never showed any signs of going back, so Su Yuli decided to live in this world with peace of mind.
Since he was ready to live a good life here, he couldnât wrong himself.
After Su Yuli finished eating his pasta, he wiped his mouth and said to Mu Lang, who was sitting across from him: âLooking for a boyfriend. Nights get long and lonely. You should know that, Mr. Mu.â
Mu Lang smiled, he nodded: âWeâre both people whoâve been hurt by love. Why not make do with me? My skills are pretty good.â
Su Yuli expressed his disgust with his eyes: âNo, Mr. Muâs charm is too great for us mortals to enjoy.â He got up and left.
Mu Lang took his arm and said in a low voice, âRemember to wear a condom.â
Su Yuliâs expression changed, and he spat at Mu Lang, âShameless!â
Mu Lang laughed.
After Su Yuli left, Mu Lang took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The page displayed a piece of news about City A.
Mu Lang looked at it for a while, as if he thought it was very interesting, and then he skillfully dialed a number: âHey, itâs me. I havenât heard from you in a while. How are you doing?â
Before waiting for an answer from the other side, he went on to say, âI donât think youâre doing very well. In this case, Iâll secretly report a message to you to make amends.â

The only thing I can think of is the V that marks the Weibo account as being a âreal personâ. If thatâs not what itâs referring to let me know
