Chapter 66 part 2

Lin Suiyan said that from the beginning of his transmigration he’d had some doubts. Although Su Yuli had tried very hard to play the role of Wen Jin, his temperament was still slightly different from the Wen Jin character in the book. What really made him confirm this guess was after the matter of Mu Lang was settled.

On that day, Su Yuli held a celebration banquet with Lin Suiyan. When he woke up the next day, the person beside him was still the same as before, and there was no difference in his speech or behavior, but Lin Suiyan was keenly aware of the difference – his eyes.

Wen Jin’s temperament was gentle, and so are his eyes, gentle and quiet. But Su Yuli was different. He also looks very gentle, but his eyes were free and full of energy. When people see it, they can’t help but want to laugh like him.

The speculation that had been pressed down into the bottom of his heart had turned out to be true. Lin Suiyan watched carefully, and the more he looked, the more wrong he felt. The person in front of him was not his lover.

Lin Suiyan’s reaction and thinking were undoubtedly fast. He began to think about the reasons for this, and soon a guess came to mind.

If, he was not Lin Suiyan. Was Wen Jin really Wen Jin? Did his lover, like him, not belong to this world?

This discovery made Lin Suiyan both happy and sad. The happy thing was that two people who didn’t know each other met, fell in love, and lived together in another world. What kind of fate was this? The sad thing was, after leaving this world, could they still find each other?

At first, Lin Suiyan, like Su Yuli, thought that the original owner had returned. But soon he found that Wen Jin’s character was different from that of the original owner.

No matter how well he cooperates, Wen Jin will lose his temper. The anger is unreasonable, as if he was deliberately finding fault and provoking him.

During this period, Su Yuli also came back. Lin Suiyan could accurately distinguish between Wen Jin and Su Yuli through his eyes. He tried to tell Su Yuli about the transmigration but found that he was forcibly sent back to his own world.

Lin Suiyan knew that this was not a simple transmigration. There was a force in control here, monitoring their every move.

It was not in Lin Suiyan’s character to sit still and wait for death, so he started to fight back.

Lin Suiyan said: “Everything went well, but your divorce letter caught me off guard.”

Su Yuli felt extremely guilty: “I’m sorry.” He lowered his head like a child who did something wrong.

Lin Suiyan laughed: “It’s all right, it’s all over.”

The problem was solved satisfactorily, and the next step was to introduce himself. Su Yuli carefully wrote his name on a piece of paper, stroke by stroke, and showed it to Lin Suiyan. “Su Yuli, this is my name. I’m twenty years old, a native of Jincheng. I’m currently studying at a university in Rongcheng, and I’m a well-known school grass. You can find me by asking anywhere. “

Lin Suiyan was amused by Su Yuli’s appearance: “Oh, school grass, then I really made a profit.”

He took the pen from Su Yuli’s hand. As soon as he wrote the word “Lu”, Su Yuli rushed over and snatched the pen.

Lin Suiyan’s hands were empty, and he looked up at Su Yuli. Su Yuli stuffed the pen under his pillow and coughed lightly: “How about this? Don’t tell me anything about you. When we return from this world, one month… No, half a month. No, no, no. One week. I’ll find you.”

Lin Suiyan was stunned at first. Then he smiled and asked, “Are you serious?” China was so big, that looking for someone when you don’t know their name or origin was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Because of that divorce letter, Su Yuli felt deeply that he had lost face in front of his lover, and he had to get this face back. He wanted to take this opportunity to prove to Lin Suiyan that he was very clever.

Su Yuli nodded seriously: “Yes, seriously.” After a while, he whispered uneasily: “If I haven’t found you in a week, you have to come to me.”

Lin Suiyan chuckled lightly: “Okay, okay.”

Since his lover wanted to play such a game, he was naturally happy to accompany him.

Because of this agreement, when Su Yuli woke up one day and found himself back in his original world, he didn’t panic at all. Instead, he was full of energy.

Back when Su Yuli was still in the world of “Substitute”, he planned in his mind how to find Lin Suiyan when he came back. Fortunately, he’d thought of a plan.

Su Yuli’s method was – a portrait.

Su Yuli had discovered at the start of his transmigration that in the world of “Substitute”, Wen Jin’s face was exactly the same as his. Lin Suiyan was a transmigrator like him, so the situation should be the same.

After Su Yuli hurriedly washed up, he called his best friend Zhou Yan: “I remember that you learned to draw. I need your help with something, please come quickly.”

Poor Zhou Yan was in love. Every day they were joined at the hip. He hadn’t gone to bed until past midnight the night before. Now, that Su Yuli had called him so early in the morning the next day he felt a bit murderous in his heart.

Zhou Yan was studying at a university in a neighboring province. Fortunately, transportation was quite convenient now, and within a few hours, the two met.

“What’s the matter? You called me in such a hurry.” Zhou Yan yawned and looked like he hadn’t woken up yet.

Su Yuli held Zhou Yan’s hand tightly: “Brother, the happiness of your brother’s life depends on you.”

Zhou Yan was delighted and suddenly didn’t feel sleepy at all. He was happier than when he was in love: “Is there a situation?”

Su Yuli nodded. Naturally, he couldn’t say anything about the transmigration. Zhou Yan might think he was a lunatic and send him to a mental hospital, so he said, “I met a man when I was wandering around the old street some time ago. I fell in love with him at first sight but I didn’t look for him for several days. Now I want to send out a search notice.”

“Got it.” This matter concerned the lifelong happiness of his friend. Zhou Yan patted his chest: “Rest assured, you can leave it to brother.”

Su Yuli was overjoyed. His childhood friend usually looked so unreliable. He didn’t expect him to be so dependable at such a critical moment. They went straight to a shop and to buy all the necessary tools for painting.

Su Yuli found a quiet shop and when he entered the private room, Zhou Yan opened up and said, “Come on.”

Su Yuli was full of passion. After seeing Zhou Yan’s masterpiece he almost couldn’t breath. He grabbed Zhou Yan’s neck and shook it vigorously.

“What the hell are you drawing?”

Zhou Yan was grabbed by Su Yuli and shaken from side to side without resisting. He smiled and said, “I didn’t draw it as you said. It’s not very good. How handsome is it?”

Su Yuli said, “Your boyfriend looks like this, right?”

Zhou Yan was furious.

Su Yuli retreated into the sofa and finally understood the gap between reality and ideal.

Seeing Su Yuli’s disappointed look, Zhou Yan walked over and touched his shoulder. “Are you angry? The last time I drew was when I was in junior high school. It’s been so many years since I did it. It’s normal for me to be rusty. How about this? I have a friend in the art academy. How about I ask him for help?”

Su Yuli glanced at Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan smiled and hugged him: “It’s all right. With me here, the person you like will definitely not be able to run away.”

Su Yuli thought it’s not a question of whether he can run or not, it’s a matter of face.

Thinking of this, Su Yuli smiled instead. He knew that Lin Suiyan didn’t take that incident to heart. If he couldn’t find him after seven days then Lin Suiyan wouldn’t laugh at him.

This was just a little fun between husbands. He really doesn’t  have to be under so much pressure. He still has six days.

Su Yuli adjusted his mood, invited Zhou Yan to dinner, and took him around the school. The next day he sent Zhou Yan to the airport. It happened to be the weekend, and he was in no hurry to go back to school. Instead, he walked around the city.

He unintentionally passed by a bookstore and found that the store was crowded with people and very lively. He walked over and asked what was going on. It turned out that there was an author holding a book signing meeting here.

Su Yuli looked at the sign hanging at the door of the bookstore and saw that it was the author of “Substitute”. The author’s real name was Lu Yumo. His favorite author’s surname was Lu. Su Yuli realized that she had the same surname as his lover.

Strictly speaking, Lu Yumo was his matchmaker, and he liked her book very much. Since he met her today, it was fate. Su Yuli went in and bought two of Lu Yumo’s books.

The scene was so popular, that Su Yuli waited in line for two hours before it was his turn.

Lu Yumo liked to spill dog blood when writing books, it was very sadistic and sour. However, she was unexpectedly beautiful. She was wearing a long white dress with light makeup. She had a pair of black framed glasses on the bridge of her nose. When she laughed, there were two pear shaped dimples on her cheeks and her smile was very sweet.

“Hello.” Su Yuli said: “Madam, I like your book very much.”

Lu Yumo smiled sweetly: “Thank you.”

“I should be the one thanking you,” said Su Yuli. “Thank you for writing “Substitute”  and letting me meet the love of my life.”

Lu Yumo looked at Su Yuli in surprise. She couldn’t understand what Su Yuli was saying and could only smile back.

Lu Yumo took the book from Su Yuli and opened the page. She was about to write when she saw something. Suddenly, she waved at something behind him. She smiled brightly and said, “Brother, you’re here. This way.”

Su Yuli turned his head and looked. The moment he saw the visitor, he couldn’t look away anymore.

The man has a pair of eyes as deep as the sea, and under the bridge of his handsome nose were a pair of beautifully shaped lips. Su Yuli would never be mistaken, that was his lover.

…

In the hotel box.

The man held out his hand to Su Yuli: “Lu Yubai.”

Su Yuli endured and endured, but he finally couldn’t hold back anymore. So, he jumped up and hugged him tightly. He wanted to do this as soon as he’d first seen Lu Yubai in the bookstore.

“The next day.” Su Yuli announced happily into Lu Yubai’s ear: “I found you only the next day. Aren’t I amazing?”

Lu Yubai hugged Su Yuli. The smile on his face was very gentle, and he spoke softly, “Yes, you found me, you’re amazing.”

Lu Yumo came in from the outside wiping her hands.  Seeing Su Yuli and Lu Yubai sitting side by side, she asked curiously, “Brother, who is this?”

Lu Yubai said, “Let me introduce you to Su Yuli, my boyfriend. You can call him brother.”

Su Yuli was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Lu Yubai to say their relationship so directly, but when he thought about it, he was Lu Yubai, and Lu Yubai would never let him down.

Moreover, this “boyfriend” was really too sweet. Su Yuli’s lips couldn’t help but curl up.

Lu Yumo took a few steps back in shock, as if this was the first time she met this brother: “You actually fell in love behind my back. Come on, tell me honestly. When did you meet him?”

Since she was both his sister and author of the book “Substitute”, neither Lu Yubai nor Su Yuli had any intention of hiding it from her.

After hearing Lu Yubai’s words, Lu Yumo’s big eyes sparkled. She drawled, “I see. I was wondering, why you suddenly sent me a big red packet yesterday. It turns out that…”

Lu Yubai snorted and calmly said, “A thank you gift.”

Lu Yumo was very happy that her elder brother had gotten rid of his single status. She looked at Su Yuli and Lu Yubai, who were sitting together, and wisely left the room. She even closed the door behind her.

When Su Yuli and Lu Yubai transmigrated, they used their own faces. So they didn’t feel strange at all when they got along.

Su Yuli leaned on Lu Yubai’s shoulder and sighed with emotion: “Your sister really deserves to be a writer. She is so calm.”

If an ordinary person heard their stories, who knows how they would have reacted.

Lu Yubai said with a smile: “Yes, she is always imaginative. She has all kinds of ideas in her mind, so she went to write novels. Speaking of which, if it wasn’t for her strongly demanding me to, I wouldn’t have read the book “Substitute”.

Su Yuli sat up straight and said solemnly, “No, I have to give her a big red envelope too.”

If it wasn’t for Lu Yumo, Lu Yubai wouldn’t have read the novel “Substitute”, nor would he have transmigrated into the book. Then they wouldn’t have met.

Su Yuli immediately got up and wanted to go to Lu Yumo. Lu Yubai pulled him back and said, “There’s no hurry. It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. Are you satisfied with just hugging your boyfriend?”

Su Yuli’s departing movement was paused. He looked at Lu Yubai with a smile in his eyes, but he complained, “You’re clearly my husband. Why did you suddenly downgrade to become my boyfriend?”

Lu Yubai followed suit and said, “Oh, that husband is satisfied with just hugging me. Don’t you want to do anything else?”

It wasn’t that Su Yuli hadn’t shouted the word “Husband” before, but he didn’t expect that when Lin Suiyan uttered that word, it would be so destructive. His cheeks immediately flushed red, and he glanced towards the door like a thief. He heard Lu Yubai’s undisguised low laughter.

Su Yuli became angry out of embarrassment and rushed over to press on Lu Yubai’s body. “You’re not allowed to laugh,” he said fiercely.

Lu Yubai held Su Yu Li’s waist with one hand to prevent him from falling and said, “Okay, I won’t laugh.”

Su Yuli was indignant in his heart. He lowered his head and kissed those smiling lips fiercely. But soon, the kiss became tender. Su Yuli kissed his lover reverently.

Thank you for meeting me among thousands of people.

For giving me infinite joy and beauty.

I love you.

The author has something to say: It’s over!

T/L: And that’s all! Thank you to everyone who came along with me on this novel.

Notes: In case there was any confusion- the “real” Wen Jin and Lin Suiyan were never part of this story. When both Su Yuli and Lu Yubai were being forcefully transmigrated back and forth their bodies were being controlled by some kind of system type thing trying to drive the plot forward. As for what happens to them/the bodies now… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Only the author knows I guess.
