Ten thousand groundhogs were rising and falling inside Su Huanyi. Fuck this golden finger! This was simply a guide to the underworld!
He was in a trance and saw the hand waving in front of him: "What were you doing?"
Su Chi had a frown and walked forward with a cold face on seeing that Su Huanyi did not have a word of explanation.
I thought Su Huanyi was being honest this time, but it was all in vain.
Su Chi squinted, hiding the deep colour in his eyes. "Dad, were you looking for me?"
"I have something to discuss with you." Su Jitong's eyes still had astonishment. "Little Yi, what are you doing in your big brother's room in that kind of outfit?"
Su Huanyi had been immersed in the sadness of his broken golden finger and had not paid attention to Su Jitong. Only now did he manage to barely pull himself together. "I came to borrow some clothes from Big Brother. My shirt got dirty and I wanted to wear it tomorrow, so I came to ask Big Brother to lend me one."
Su Jitong objectively commented, "His clothes are too big for you."
Su Huanyi showed him. "This size is fashionable on me."
"...." Su Jitong doubted his tastes, so he turned his head and asked Su Chi, "Is it fashionable?"
Su Chi did not say a word, just watched Su Huanyi make up nonsense. The boy still had the same lying virtues, but something was different.
Su Jitong gave up. "I think it's average. If you want to be fashionable, Dad will have someone order two new ones for you later."
His gaze rested on Su Huanyi's bangs, and he couldn't resist reaching out to smooth them out. "If you need anything in the future, just tell Dad. Don't fight with your brothers, okay?"
"I know. Thank you, Dad." Su Huanyi was comforted by his father's love.
It seemed that the bug left by the original author was still there. Although he didn't get a golden finger, Su Jitong was his talisman!
Su Huanyi was so excited that he stepped forward to hug his talisman tightly.
As soon as his arms opened, a resistance came from the back of his collar.
Su Chi held the back of Su Huanyi's collar. "You're not a child anymore." Watch your words and actions.
Su Huanyi tasted the warning and silently withdrew his hands.
Su Jitong's regret overflowed at once. No matter how old children are, they are still small in the eyes of their parents. He would like to see the oldest, second, and third sons stick to him like the youngest.
Su Jitong originally planned to adopt a daughter. He wanted to find a sweet little darling, but Su Huanyi was too well behaved and good-looking, and he stood out from the rest of the children. After discussing the matter with his wife, Su Jitong simply brought back a fourth son.
He looked at Su Huanyi, who was being dragged by Su Jitong, but was not showing any disgust. It seemed that the two brothers had a good relationship.
"Little Yi, go back and change your clothes. I have to talk to your big brother about something."
Su Chi let go of his collar and Su Huanyi immediately slipped to Su Jitong's side like he was running from a poison to a safe zone.
The corners of Su Chi's eyes twitched slightly as he turned his head and went into the bedroom.
Su Huanyi took the opportunity to hug Su Jitong. He whispered, "It's not that I didn't want to hug you, that time hasn't yet come."
Su Jitong laughed silently.
Su Huanyi went back, and once the door was closed, only Su Jitong and Su Chi were left in the room.
Su Chi felt a vague headache as he looked at Su Jitong's unfading smile. "Dad, don't spoil him too much."
One who only sees the face can't see that he is a white-eyed wolf.
Su Jitong shook his head and said, "Little Yi is just a child, unlike you brothers. He had suffered before and was abandoned by his biological parents. I don't ask much from him, as long as he is happy and safe."
Su Chi pursed his lips and did not respond. People at this age have stubbornness, and Su Jitong always sees Su Huanyi as a child who simply lacked love. He could not break the persistence in Su Jitong's heart.
In the past, Su Jitong was filled with fatherly love. The elite upbringing of the upper class sacrificed the emotions and freedom of the heirs to a certain extent, and someone had to take the lead in the Su family.
Later, when Su Jitong grew older, Su Huanyi was not only his adopted son but also sustenance for the goodwill of his heart. When money and power reach a certain level, if one is still able to do good and love people, then it means that the moral line can still be upheld.
In the beginning, the adoption was with a purpose, but now, after almost 20 years of raising him, he has long since regarded Su Huanyi as his son.
Su Chi couldn't change his father's mind, so he couldonly try to put his restless adopted brother back on the right path.
Su Jitong didn't know what his eldest son was thinking, and after the two of them finished talking about the company, Su Jitong added, "There's a party the day after tomorrow. Why don't you take Little Yi with you?"
"He's been there once or twice before, but he didn't find it interesting."
Su Jitong disagreed, "Little Yi is shy and slow to warm up. He will get more energetic if he goes there a few more times and becomes more familiar."
Su Chi thought of Su Huanyi's performance at the previous two parties and deeply questioned the interpretation of these two adjectives.
"Then I will ask him tomorrow."
Su Huanyi woke up at dawn.
He stood in front of the wide mirror in the washroom and stared at the unfamiliar face. To be fair, this face was first-class in looks, and he had even been stunned for a moment when he looked in the mirror.
On closer inspection, the features resembled his original appearance – soft eyes slightly drooping at the corners, and full lips with a cupid bow. When combined, the effect was different from his, which gave a magical and subtle connection.
Su Huanyi wandered closer to the mirror as if he suddenly remembered something and pulled back the neckline!
His breath hitched. There was indeed a small red mole on the right side of his neck, half a finger above his shoulder. It was the same as his.
Yesterday, Su Huanyi had sensed that there were certain overlaps with his original body. He had no sense of distance when facing the characters in the book as if they had been together for more than ten years.
His soul was rapidly integrating into this world as if a bug had appeared in the program and was then automatically filled in and fixed by this world.
Su Huanyi hovered thoughtfully as he fixed his collar and turned to go downstairs for breakfast.
...
At the table sat the head of the family, Su Jitong, his wife, Yu Xinyan, and the eldest son, Su Chi.
The second Su family member, Su Jianchen, was abroad working on a project and would only be back next week; the third, Su Yu, was studying for his PhD in the capital and was not on holiday at this time, so there are only four of them in the house now.
Su Huanyi said good morning to each person and sat back in his seat.
Just after sitting down, Su Jitong stroked the top of his hair and said, "There's a party tomorrow. Why don't you go with your big brother?"
Su Huanyi was eating his oats when he suddenly ate two raisins. He spat them out onto his plate with a stroke of his tongue. "Okay."
Su Chi was the key person who decides his fate. He needed to spend more time with him to whitewash himself.
Su Jitong gave Su Chi a smug look and said, "See, Little Yi is so well behaved, I told you he would go."
Su Chi did not feel like battling with his father on this overly subjective issue. He dropped his gaze on the two raisins and asked, "Are you a picky eater now?"
Su Huanyi paused. "I'm giving up on sugar."
He had never eaten dried fruit and subconsciously spat it out, overlooking the original owner's eating habits.
Yu Xinyan smiled, her soft wavy curls shaking slightly. "You don't have to lose weight and you don't have acne. Why are you quitting sugar at a young age?"
Su Huanyi pursed his lips. "I'm too sweet."
Su Jitong then let out a loud laugh, his laugh directed at Su Chi!
Su Chi's appetite dropped significantly...
In the past, Su Chi would choose for himself what to wear when attending social functions. Now that the two brothers were going, it's up to Yu Xinyan, as a mother, to decide what's best.
Today was not a weekend, so the Su family father and son both went to the company, while Yu Xinyan and Su Huanyi remained at home.
Yu Xinyan pulled Su Huanyi back and forth to try on clothes. His facial expression had completely disappeared on the sixth set.
There is no need to be so selective!
"Mom, I don't think there's a difference between these two sets."
Yu Xinyan frowned disapprovingly. "How is there no difference? The dark pattern on the cuffs of the left set is a cloud pattern, and the waist is also obvious. While the dark pattern on the hem of the right set is a water pattern, a little more atmospheric, and the waist is not obvious."
Su Huanyi looked at the dark pattern of the cuffs. Unless he fed his elbow into someone's mouth, no one would notice.
Yu Xinyan was still carefully distinguishing the differences between the suits. "How about this one with the cloud pattern? It suits your big brother, so you two can wear matching clothes to the party. "
Su Huanyi suggested, "We can wear two of the same."
Yu Xinyn imagined it for a moment and slightly frowned. "It's not like you're dolls."
Four hours later, Yu Xinyan picked out Su Huanyi's outfit and dragged him to Su Chi's room.
"Your big brother has two or three sets of cloud patterns. You come and pick them out with mum."
Su Huanyi's face twisted: Why would someone have two or three sets with cloud patterns? Is there any difference in the cloud patterns? Cumulus clouds? Stratocumulus clouds? Cirrostratus?
He couldn't understand, so he dismissed it as a rich man's hobby.
This was the second time Su Huanyi wandered into Su Chi's room since he transmigrated. He was so nervous that he kept glancing at the bottom of the bed.
Yu Xinyan noticed his eyes were darting around and said, "Little Yi, what are you looking at?"
"The place where dreams begin..."
Yu Xinyan thought he was talking about tomorrow's party. "Follow your big brother tomorrow and make some friends in the circle as well."
"Okay."
Yu Xinyan picked out a few suits and took a few pairs of cufflinks out of the drawer to match. As she picked them out, she suddenly compared them to Su Huanyi's wrist. "Why do I think these cufflinks suit you better than your big brother?"
The cufflinks were dark blue with silver trim, and they looked like a galaxy of stars in the milky way. The back of Su Huanyi's hand was very thin, with clear bones and a thin white wrist sticking out that matched the cufflinks.
Su Huanyi saw that Yu Xinyan wanted to put the cufflinks on him, and he immediately retracted his hand with a swoosh. He still desired to live. "No, no, they are Big Brother's."
He doesn't deserve to get his hands on them!
Yu Xinyan was helpless. "I just want to see if they look good on you, then I'll give you a pair of similar ones."
These were her son's things. She had no right to give them out, even as his mother. Yu Xinyan has been the mistress of the Su family for so many years with four sons under her. She knew about the family balance better than anyone else.
Su Huanyi still hid his hands behind his back and was determined not to have any involvement with Su Chi's things!
Yu Xinyan didn't understand what he was being stubborn about and went to pull his arm in amusement. "It's just a comparison. Your big brother isn't that petty."
"No, no, no, no, no..."
The tug-of-war went two or three rounds. Yu Xinyan did not hold the cufflinks firmly, and with a "clink" they rolled under the bed.
Su Huanyi: "..."
Yu Xinyan, "Oops."
What do you mean, oops? Su Huanyi's heart was tightening. Under the bed... it's under the bed again! The bottom of Su Chi's bed was an accident-prone place!
Yu Xinyan, "Little Yi, why don't you take a look at where they fell?"
Su Huanyi composed himself. He clung to the bedside and looked at the bottom of the bed. The cufflinks had fallen deep under the bed. After a second of silence, he lowered his head and dove in.
Yu Xinyan was startled. "Did they fall so far inside? Get up. I'll ask the maid to come and get them. "
Su Huanyi found himself drilling under the bed with ease, so he said, "Forget it, I've already been here."
Yu Xinyan: "…"
Su Chi's afternoon meeting was temporarily cancelled, and he returned home from work before five o'clock. As he went up to the first floor, he heard the faint sound of voices talking from his room.
"Little Yi, why does mom feel like you're shrouded in sadness?"
" Well, I'm afraid of looking back and seeing the young and inexperienced face in my memory."
"…"
Su Chi paused for a moment, then walked straight towards the room.
The door to the room was half-open, and once he pushed it open, he took in the sight in front of him– Yu Xinyan was sitting at the head of the bed, and her whole body shook when she saw Su Chi. She wanted to say something but then stopped.
Su Chi followed her gaze and looked at the bottom of his bed.
The bottom of the bed revealed a hip and a waist.
The waist was thin, and the hips were shapely.
