The scene was recreated, and Su Chi had extraordinarily mixed feelings.
"What are you doing there?"
Thud! A muffled sound came from under the bed. The hips swayed twice from side to side, the hem of the garment fell halfway down, and the exposed waistline trembled slightly.
Fuck... Su Huanyi's head hit the bottom of the bed, and it hurt so much that he thought he was a goner.
Su Chi's lines are the same as last night. Even the tone hadn't changed. It was intentional!
"Little Yi, is everything alright?" Yu Xinyan was also startled, standing up and bending down to look at him. She turned her head again to glare at Su Chi. "Why did you scare him?"
Su Huanyi crawled out from under the bed with tears in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Su Chi, spreading out his palms to reveal the cufflinks. "Big Brother, I was fishing out your cufflinks." Let's see if you have a bit of a guilty conscience...
Su Chi turned to Yu Xinyan with a calm face. "I just asked a question out of concern for Little Yi. I didn't think it would scare him."
Su Huanyi's eyes widened.
What a white lotus! Was Su Chi trying to put himself up to the same white lotus level as him, and then use that to defeat him?
Yu Xinyan could not blame him anymore, so she could only rub Su Huanyi's little head lovingly.
Su Chi looked at Su Huanyi's distracted appearance as if he was in a trance. There was a sense of pleasure in the role reversal. Oh, so this is what it feels to be a white lotus….
A door to a new world had opened.
Su Huanyi went back to his room at night.
He took a shower and then looked at his scalp in the mirror. He had a good head of hair. It was dark, thick, and silky, so it was quite a struggle to hold it up.
It must have been bruised. He let out a soft "hiss" as he took a small mirror to look at the top of his head using the refraction of light. But the mirror was shaking, so he couldn't see clearly and only saw a vague red and blue after a while.
Su Chi concluded that this body was probably prone to bruising. His elbow also scraped on the floor when he hit his head and the place was already bruised. The pain was not that much, but it looked scary.
At that time, when he read in the novel that "lying down on Su Chi's bed, Su Huanyi made a hickey on his neck with his hand," he thought it was ridiculous.
Now he understood: it turned out to be an extraordinary talent.
It was not yet ten o'clock when he lay back down on his bed. Thinking that he might meet someone who knew the original owner at the party tomorrow, Su Huanyi clicked on the dialogue boxes of his last few WeChat contacts, intending to get familiar with them in advance.
Su Huanyi: "Young master Feng, I'm the fourth young master of the Su family, Su Huanyi, would you like to have a meal with me sometime?"
Su Huanyi: "Young master Xu, I am Su Huanyi, the fourth young master of the Su family, I met you today. Do you remember?"
Su Huanyi: "Young master Zhou, I am Su Huanyi, the fourth young master of the Su family. I heard that you also like flowers and plants. Would you be interested in the famous flower exhibition this weekend?"
...
All had been read and not replied to.
It seems that there was no need to worry about acquaintances.
Su Huanyi sighed. He turned off his cell phone and went downstairs to pour himself a glass of water. When he came to the kitchen door, he happened to meet Su Chi.
The latter's cold eyes swept over the bruise on his elbow and paused there for a moment.
Su Huanyi's head was still hurting, so he didn't have the heart to brush up on his goodwill for the time being. He walked straight past Su Chi and into the kitchen to get the water.
After drinking water, he went upstairs. He had just sat down on the bed when there was a knock on the door. The door opened, and Su Chi came in.
Su Huanyi opened his mouth nonchalantly to express his surprise.
Su Chi ignored the latter's open mouth and walked straight toward him. He threw a small bottle into Su Huanyi's hands.
It was a bottle of safflower oil.
"Apply it."
Su Huanyi looked at the bruise on his elbow and said, "It doesn't hurt, so there's no need to apply it."
Su Chi held a cold smile. "Then you'll hint to Dad that I abused you?"
Su Huanyi explained, "No, no... My elbow doesn't hurt, it just looks scary. It's my head that hurts more."
"Then you can apply it on your head."
Su Chi turned around to leave after saying that. Su Huanyi hurriedly spoke out, "I can't see the top of my head!"
Su Chi, "No normal person can see the top of their head."
Su Huanyi reasoned, "But we can see the top of each other's heads."
Su Chi nodded. "Yeah, I can see the growing bump on the top of your head."
"…"
Su Huanyi looked at him as he made a gesture as to to kneel. "Do you want me to beg you?"
Five minutes later, the two stood in the washroom.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of safflower oil. Su Chi frowned as he peeled back Su Huanyi's hair to apply safflower oil on the person. The dark brown medicinal juice stained his hands and soaked into his nails. His hands were full of the smell.
Su Huanyi felt like Su Chi was drilling a well into his head. "It hurts, it hurts! Big Brother, take it easy and do it gently…!"
"It should not be done lightly."
"Then blow on it, just a little!"
The bathroom was layered in echoes, and Su Chi felt an incoming headache from the yelling. He gave the top of the head a little blow.
It was only a little, not even a wisp of air.
Two *stupid hairs stood up, little by little as if thanking him.
*a single cute, and often long, lock of hair sticking out from the top of the head that refuses to go down. Common on Japanese manga and anime characters.
In his heart, Su Chi sneered. Even the stupid hairs were more polite than their owner.
Su Huanyi asked, "Why do I feel my scalp going numb? Are you torturing me at the bottom of your heart?"
Su Chi used more force to rub the medicine in.
"Ah, it hurts!"
"It's not numb anymore, is it?"
This kind of medicine rub was like opening up a path in the wilderness; there was no brotherly love or tenderness at all. Su Chi sighed in his heart and changed the subject. "Big brother, am I particularly unpopular?"
Su Chi used no euphemism. "Yes."
Su Huanyi choked for a moment, then reluctantly asked again, "There should be one or two friends, right?"
Even the most vicious villain still has equally vicious villains as friends! Su Huanyi is so good-looking, with this face, it's impossible that he doesn't have friends.
Su Chi, "Do you know how frogs croak?"
Su Huanyi, "…"
Got it; they croak alone.
Su Huanyi woke up the next day to find the bruises on his elbows were even worse than yesterday and vaguely spreading.
When he went downstairs for breakfast, Su Jitong and Su Chi had already gone to the company. Only Yu Xinyan was there, drinking a bowl of fish fillet congee delicately.
"Little Yi, drink some more fish fillet congee later. You hit your head yesterday, so you need to take some tonic."
Su Huanyi looked at the large bowl of fish congee in front of him and was speechless.
The fish was for the brain, right? Did she think he damaged his brain?
"Mom, I can't eat this much."
"You can eat less congee. Just pick the fish fillets from the basin…ah, bowl and eat them."
Su Huanyi quickly looked up: It was really a basin!!!
After eating half of the basin of fish fillets, Yu Xinyan called for the maid to come and apply his medicine. She held Su Huanyi's little head and sighed long and hard. "Luckily, you have a lot of hair to keep your bump out of sight. Otherwise, it might confirm the rumors."
Su Huanyi was curious. "What rumor?"
Yu Xinyan looked at him and said, "You truly are innocent."
"The rumours that you are not favoured in the Su family, that the Su family mistreats you, that you have a bad relationship with your brothers and are always fighting, that you are a bad child..…"
Su Huanyi listened attentively. Well, the first half of the story was a rumor, but the second half was not far from the truth.
Yu Xinyan was so angry as she talked, "Don't listen to them! Anyway, there are all kinds of people in the circle. High society is very complicated, and they love to spread gossip. Just remember to follow your big brother closely tonight and don't let people bully you."
Su Huanyi reassured her, "I will take Big Brother with me even if I go to the toilet."
Yu Xinyan looked at him with a complicated expression. "Ah, not that much."
"…"
Su Chi came back when it was almost time for the party. Su Huanyi hurried upstairs and took another bath. He washed away the smell of safflower oil and changed his clothes.
Yu Xinyan was in the living room giving Su Chi detailed instructions. She turned her head when she heard movement on the stairs, and her eyes instantly lit up.
Su Huanyi had a very good figure. His legs were straight and slender. The light grey suit trousers outlined the contours of his hips and legs with beautiful and smooth lines. The waist under the shirt was lean but not so thin; it was tough and one didn't need to hold it to know it was a good waist.
He came down the stairs with dark hair and red lips, holding a noble aura.
An aristocratic family can raise noble people, and Su Huanyi was raised well.
"You look good." Yu Xinyan beckoned him over, and had him stand with Su Chi. "It seems I have a good eye after all. You two look like brothers."
Su Chi had on a dark grey suit, giving a stable and atmospheric feel without being too dull. He was tall and his aura was very regal. He would be the centre of attention wherever he stood.
The more Yu Xinyan looked at him, the more satisfied she was. Her eldest son had unmatched looks; she was so good at giving birth!
"Mom, we're leaving first." Su Chi held up his wrist to look at the time.
Yu Xinyan said, "Go quickly."
The two got into the family car, and the private car started up and smoothly went up the road.
The air was not circulating well in the cramped space, and Su Huanyi pulled his collar a little uncomfortably and turned towards the car window. It was faintly reflecting the scene inside the car, and his gaze was unconsciously fixed on Su Chi's wrist.
The Blancpain watch, with its sapphire glass crystal and red gold bezel, was low and luxurious and suited him well.
"You like it?"
"What?" Su Huanyi wandered back to see Su Chi holding up his wrist. He was dumbfounded, as he was not expecting Su Chi to be so perceptive.
"No, I was just thinking that Big Brother is very suitable for wearing that kind of watch."
Su Chi gave a light smile. "What kind?"
Su Huanyi, "An expensive one."
"…" Su Chi held the corner of his forehead. "So cheesy."
The party was more like a cocktail party and officially started at six in the evening. When they arrived at their destination, it was still about ten minutes before the start of the party, and guests were already entering one after another.
As soon as Su Chi and Su Huanyi got out of the car, there was a sudden silence around them.
All sorts of eyes fell on the two: astonished, inquisitive, contemptuous, hesitant…
Su Chi kept his face unchanged as if the people around him had nothing to do with him.
Su Huanyi didn't change his face either. The people around him had nothing to do with him after all.
It was all scrutiny that was based on the original owner. What did it have to do with him?
It was at times like this that Su Huanyi was able to see that Su Chi was a good person. Although he didn't like him very much, he didn't leave him behind in this situation.
Su Huanyi decided to unilaterally forgive Su Chi's cold attitude!
He whispered to Su Chi, "We've been through thick and thin together."
Su Chi snorted and whispered, "It's all because you brought the storm."
"…"
The two of them were registered at the door, and Su Chi turned his head as they entered and said, "You can find a place to sit by yourself. I have something to discuss with someone, and I will be back before the party starts."
After he finished, he remembered something, and his face turned colder. "Don't go around by yourself like you did last time, do you understand?"
Su Huanyi didn't understand at all: ...What?
Su Chi said that and left. Su Huanyi walked into the hall alone and sat down where there was no one. It must be a plot that was not in the book that touched his blind spot of knowledge.
Not long after he sat down, Su Huanyi heard a few whispers not far behind him.
"Isn't that the fake young master from the Su family? Why is he here?"
"What a thick skin! Last time he pretended to bump into the Feng family's youngest master and spilled wine on himself. The young master ignored him and then he went on to bump into the Feng's second youngest master, thinking of seducing him. "
Su Huanyi: "... "
No way! Did he also have two concubines carrying a love debt?
"Oh, he also bumped into Young master Gu, Second young master Sun and even the Zhou's fourth young master after that... It was almost a full-court run."
Su Huanyi: "…" He thought too much. It turned out he was the porcelain king.
"Pfft--! Haha, like a small train in the ring!"
"Isn't it? This time the Feng, Zhou, and Sun families are all coming. I can't wait to see how the little train is going to try to hook up with people this time!"
Su Huanyi: "…"
