CH 63

Seaside town.

10pm, the MG Bar.

It was very lively at this time. The bar was full of people. There were young men and women dancing on the dance floor.

From time to time, some guests in the bar turned their attention to the corner. There were two figures sitting there, one of them was handsome and clean, looking like a college student. His companion was wearing a long trench coat, with a calm temperament and a more mature appearance.

Although the two have different auras, there was no doubt that they are both very eye-catching figures. From the moment they stepped in here, they attracted the attention of most people in the bar.

The two of them were sitting together, obviously they’d come here together.

Now the atmosphere was open. Although the two people were both men, it was difficult to guarantee that they weren’t a couple. So the people in the bar just watched them but didn’t approach.

Su Yuli ignored the gazes around him. He looked at Mu Lang coldly: “Mr. Mu, if you really have nothing to do here, just go back to City A. There’s such a big company for you to clean up. Do you want to go bankrupt?”

Mu Lang put down his wine glass and said with a smile, “We’ve known each other for a while. We can be considered as friends. I’ll keep my eyes open for you, so you won’t be tricked.”

Su Yuli thought no one would believe him; he was clearly up to something. It’s not his first visit to this bar. He came to this bar yesterday, but he left after sitting for a short time.

He appeared here today but he just feels bored. At the same time there was an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

He wanted to know why Lin Suiyan and Luo Xing could be together and be happy and sweet but why did he have to be alone and cold by himself.1 He wanted to show Lin Suiyan that he can live a better and happier life without him. He wanted Lin Suiyan to know that he didn’t care about him at all.

Su Yuli knew that this kind of thinking was childish, but he still couldn’t help it. He just didn’t expect that, as soon as he arrived at the bar today that he’d run into Mu Lang.

Mu Lang followed him in and sat opposite him, as if they knew each other very well.

Su Yuli certainly knew that Mu Lang didn’t like him. There was no love in Mu Lang’s eyes, only teasing.

But he still didn’t want to see Mu Lang. When he saw this guy’s face, he would think of Lin Suiyan. Both of them were highly skilled liars.

Looking at it could really make someone feel annoyed.

Mu Lang was sipping his wine and seemed to be in a good mood. Su Yuli didn’t know what he was happy about.

After a while, Mu Lang’s cell phone rang. He made a wait gesture to Su Yuli, and answered the phone.

“You’re here?” Mu Lang smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll go out and pick you up.”

It might’ve been Su Yuli’s delusion, but he always felt that when Mu Lang was talking to the person on the other end of the phone, his eyes would sweep towards him. The look in his eyes seemed to show he was up to no good.

Su Yuli couldn’t help but touch his arm and found the small hairs on his arm had stood up. The next moment, he saw Mu Lang put his mobile phone in his pocket, get up and say, “I have an appointment with a beautiful woman, so I’ll go first.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yuli’s erect cold hair honestly lay back. He said to himself that Mu Lang still really didn’t have any discipline. He waved his hand, indicating that he wanted Mu Lang to leave quickly.

Mu Lang raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at Su Yuli with an expression like pity and schadenfreude, turned and left the bar.

Mu Lang’s departure made the people in the bar look disappointed, but some regained their  spirit.

Not long after Mu Lang left, someone approached Su Yuli. It was a young man in his twenties, handsome in appearance and generous in manner. At first glance, he had a sunny and cheerful disposition.

He and Su Yuli chatted very happily. The two chatted for a while, and the young man invited Su Yuli to dance on the dance floor. Su Yuli had sat for a long time. He felt stiff and wanted to move, so he didn’t refuse.

There were countless handsome men and beauties on the dance floor, all of whom came here to relax, so Su Yuli wasn’t shy.

Young people like new and exciting things. In Su Yuli’s old world he would also go to a bar with several friends in his spare time to relax.

The people on the dance floor were close together, and Su Yuli noticed that the young man got closer and closer. His eyes were full of temptation and provocation.

In places like bars, some people come here for a drink, while others have a different purpose It’s not that Su Yuli didn’t understand, at least he didn’t come here just to drink.

Su Yuli’s gaze swept across the young man’s eyebrows, bridge of his nose, and lips. Undoubtedly, this person’s appearance was very good, and wherever he went, he was the focus, but his heart didn’t feel anything. Instead, he faintly rejected the young man’s proximity.

Su Yuli suddenly felt a little bored, and was about to push the young man away. The next second, he saw the young man being pushed away by a force, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

It was Lin Suiyan.

Su Yuli opened his eyes slightly, and saw Lin Suiyan wearing a long black trench coat. His body was full of dusty air, and his brows were full of fatigue. He obviously came from City A in a hurry.

Seeing Lin Suiyan again on such an occasion and under such a scene, Su Yuli felt guilty. Then he realized that it was wrong. They were divorced. What was he guilty of? Lin Suiyan was no longer qualified to care about him.

The young man was thrown out like a chicken in front of the person he liked. He felt embarrassed. He walked back and shouted at Lin Suiyan, “Who are you? You…!”

Lin Suiyan swept a cold look over him and the young man was immediately silenced.

The young man looked at Lin Suiyan’s cold face, and then at Su Yuli, who had a stiff face and was saying nothing. He clicked his tongue, turned and walked away.

After not seeing him for a long time, now Lin Suiyan suddenly appeared in front of him. Su Yuli admitted that he wasn’t ready to face him.

At the same time, Su Yuli didn’t understand why Lin Suiyan came to him. Shouldn’t he be all sweet and lovey-dovey with Luo Xing right now?

Su Yuli and Lin Suiyan were silent. The men and women on the dance floor also stopped and cast their curious eyes towards the two of them.

Finally, Lin Suiyan moved. He raised his hand and pulled Su Yuli off the dance floor.

Su Yuli struggled a bit. Instead of breaking away, he touched Lin Suiyan’s hands, which were very cold. He realized that Lin Suiyan’s clothes were very thin. He couldn’t help but frown.

Lin Suiyan pulled Su Yuli to the corner before letting him go.

The noisy music and human voices in the distance gradually became blurred.

Along the way, Su Yuli had already adjusted his mood. He tidied up his clothes and said, “Has Mr. Lin come to bring me the divorce papers? There was no need to bother. I was going to go back in a few days. I’m sorry to have to trouble you to make the trip yourself.”

Lin Suiyan had never seen Su Yuli show such a cold expression to him. He frowned and asked, “Why?”

Su Yuli felt it was ridiculous. At this time, Lin Suiyan could still ask such a question. He responded, “What do you mean by “why”?”

Lin Suiyan took out a document from his windbreaker pocket. Su Yuli looked at it intently. It was the divorce agreement he left, but only his name was on it. Lin Suiyan didn’t sign it.

Su Yuli’s heart beat violently. He looked at Lin Suiyan, and saw that Lin Suiyan’s eyes were bloodshot, and he had lost a lot of weight. He probably hadn’t been sleeping well during this time. Su Yuli’s heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. Is Lin Suiyan like this because of him? He refused to sign. Could it… Could it be that…?

Then Su Yuli thought of Lin Suiyan’s cunning. So he pressed down the weak emotion surging from the bottom of his heart. He calmed down and deliberately said in a careless tone, “Mr. Lin, are you not satisfied with the conditions I’ve proposed? We can discuss which conditions you’re not satisfied with, although I won’t necessarily give in.”

Lin Suiyan asked again: “Why?”

Why?  Why? Su Yuli was annoyed. Is that all you can say? He said coldly, “It was just a game. Now I’m tired of it. I don’t want to continue. I don’t want to play with you.”

Lin Suiyan’s pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this, and his voice was so low that it was inaudible: “In your heart, this is just a … game?”

Looking at Lin Suiyan’s gaze, Su Yuli’s heart trembled. He couldn’t help lowering his eyes, only to find that Lin Suiyan’s hand holding the divorce agreement was shaking slightly, obviously trying to suppress something.

Usually at this time, Su Yuli would definitely mock his acting skills in his heart, but now, all he could do was look away so that he wouldn’t see it.

Liar. Don’t lie to me.

I won’t be fooled.

Dead silence.

Su Yuli couldn’t stand this kind of atmosphere. Finally, he took a deep breath, looked Lin Suiyan directly in the eyes and said, “I admit that I was tempted by you, because I found that loving you would make me a better and better person. At that time, I tried to catch up with your footsteps. Although it was hard work, I was happy, but now it’s different. Lin Suiyan, a lover must love himself first. I can’t lose myself to love you and make myself a hysterical madman. Now I find that you’re not worthy of my love, so let’s call it a day. You don’t have to act like this. I won’t be with you again…”

After hearing this, Lin Suiyan grabbed Su Yuli’s arm and stepped forward: “I’m not worth your love? What did I do to make you think so?”

The two of them were very close to each other, and the familiar smell rushed into his nose. Su Yuli thought of all the happiness in the past, then he thought of being deceived. Finally, he was angry. He pushed Lin Suiyan, and growled: “When you and Luo Xing were lovey-dovey, did you ever think of me?”

“Luo Xing?”

The surprise on Lin Suiyan’s face wasn’t fake, and Su Yuli sneered: “What, you still think I don’t know? I saw it all. ”

Even at this time, Lin Suiyan controlled his strength for fear of hurting Su Yuli. He looked at Su Yuli’s angry eyes and finally realized, “You told me that night that you understand. What did you understand?”
