Chapter 52: 51

Soon, Mu Lang was the only one left in the cemetery.

After a while, footsteps came from a distance.

Mu Lang’s assistant held up an umbrella and trotted all the way over. He stopped breathlessly in front of Mu Lang: “Mr. Mu.”

Mu Lang didn’t answer. In this short time, his clothes had been soaked through by the rain, but he seemed unconcerned. His eyes fell on the long steps down the hill, where Ding Yuan and his party had disappeared.

Mu Lang’s expression was gloomy. It was uncertain what he was thinking.

Seeing Mu Lang’s ugly face, the assistant didn’t dare to speak rashly, so he could only stand beside him with an umbrella.    

The assistant’s hand holding the umbrella was sore before Mu Lang finally made a move. He retracted his gaze, with a sneer on his lips, and turned around and said, “Go back.”

The assistant was granted a pardon: “Okay, Mr. Mu…”

Before the assistant could finish speaking, he saw Mu Lang had left from underneath the umbrella and strode toward the outside of the cemetery.

The assistant was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran after him: “President Mu, President Mu, please wait for me. Today’s rainy and the road is slippery. Please slow down.”

    …

After sending off Grandma Ding, Ding Yuan locked himself in his house for three days.

During this period, Su Yuli quietly discussed with Yang Shuo how to make Ding Yuan less sad and recover from Grandma Ding’s death faster, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Grandma Ding was Ding Yuan’s only relative in this world. Now that Grandma Ding was gone, Ding Yuan must be very sad.

While he was worried, he saw Ding Yuan miraculously cheer up. He took a shower and changed his clothes, even cut his hair. He cleaned up again and began to go to class and go to work.

Su Yuli looked at Ding Yuan worriedly, and hesitated: “Xiao Yuan, you…”

Ding Yuan’s eyes bent and his smile was bright and brilliant: “I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about me. You’ve been with me all this time. I’m sorry you haven’t had a good rest.

Ding Yuan’s face was still a little pale, but his energy was much better. When he laughed like this, his whole body seemed to glow.

Su Yuli asked: “Are you really all right?”

Ding Yuan sat down on the small broken sofa in the rental room, looked Su Yuli in the eyes and said, “I’m fine. I’ve been in the room for a few days and I’ve thought it through. Grandma certainly doesn’t want to see me like this, and you and Brother Shuo, you put down your own business to accompany me. I’m really sorry to make you worry so much.”

Su Yuli carefully looked at Ding Yuan’s face, saw that he was serious, and then breathed a sigh of relief: “Why apologize? From now on, Brother Shuo and I will be your family. Isn’t it right to take care of your family?”

Ding Yuan nodded: “Hmm”

Yang Shuo sat opposite Su Yuli and Ding Yuan peeling oranges while sitting on a small folding stool.1 He was tall and had long legs, sitting on the small stool he looked quite wronged.

But Shuo Yang himself didn’t think so. He casually handed over the peeled oranges.

Su Yuli naturally raised his hand and took it: “Thank you, Brother Shuo. It’s so sweet. Look at this orange. It’s so well peeled.”

Yang Shuo looked at Su Yuli and then at Ding Yuan, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Su Yuli put the orange into Ding Yuan’s hand.

Su Yuli said: “Don’t look at the ugly orange. It’s actually sweet, you can eat it.”

Ding Yuan took the orange and thanked Yang Shuo.

Yang Shuo showed a faint smile on his face, looking handsome: “It’s fine.”

After dinner, Su Yuli didn’t want to leave. He sat on the sofa and spoke to Lin Suiyan, who was working overtime in the company.

They’re so sticky, it’s almost deadly.

In the end, Yang Shuo couldn’t stand it any longer and started to chase them away.

“You’re married. Don’t you touch at home all day? Don’t stay here tonight. Go back.”

Ding Yuan also said, “Yes, Xiao Jin, you go back. I’m fine. Don’t let Mr. Lin worry.”

Su Yuli also met with Lin Suiyan during these days, but the time they met was very short, that is, the time for lunch.

Ding Yuan had been locking himself in his room a few days ago. Thinking about Ding Yuan’s mental state, Su Yuli was afraid that he would do something stupid.

Although Yang Shuo was also at Ding Yuan’s place, during this time Yang Shuo had been taking care of Ding Yuan. He accompanied him to keep vigil beside the coffin and so he hadn’t had a good rest either.

Su Yuli was worried about his two friends, so he simply lived at Ding Yuan’s to take care of them. Although Su Yuli’s care is to order a takeaway when it was dinnertime.

Now that Ding Yuan’s situation was getting better, Su Yuli found that his yearning for Lin Suiyan can no longer be suppressed.

Su Yuli pressed down on his urgent mood and said, “Well, then, I’ll go back. If you have any needs, remember to call me.”

Ding Yuan said, “Okay.”

While speaking, he heard the sound of steady footsteps in the corridor.

Ding Yuan rented a room near the staircase. The room was on the fourth floor. The footsteps sounded from far to near, and soon a slender figure appeared in the hall.

He saw a person appear in a suit and leather shoes, handsome and elegant, it was Lin Suiyan.

When he saw the person coming, Su Yuli’s eyes lit up, and he hurried up to meet him: “Suiyan, why are you here?”

“I came to pick you up.”

Lin Suiyan knew from WeChat that Ding Yuan was in a better condition. So he came to pick him up directly after work.

He also brought a gift, and after giving it to Ding Yuan, he sat for a while and then left with Su Yuli.

After his friend came out of his haze, Su Yuli’s tense mood for many days also relaxed. He followed Lin Suiyan and skipped down the stairs like a happy bird.

Lin Suiyan had to hold him: “Be careful of falling.”

“It’s all right.” Su Yuli’s eyes were bright, and he let Lin Suiyan lead him out of the neighborhood.

Today, Lin Suiyan drove over by himself. When he got in the car, he saw Su Yuli hooked his fingers mysteriously at him.

Lin Suiyan came over, and Su Yuli quickly kissed him on the lips.

A kiss like a dragonfly skimming across the water.2

Lin Suiyan raised his brows, grabbed Su Yuli who was retreating, and deepened the kiss until both of them were panting.

Lin Suiyan wiped off the water stains on Su Yuli’s lips with his thumb, and smiled, “What happened today?”

Su Yuli’s cheeks flushed, but he still announced loudly and calmly, “I miss you.”

Lin Suiyan buckled his seat belt for him, “Well, I miss you very much too.”

    …

The kiss just now went a little too far.  Su Yuli’s nose was full of Lin Suiyan’s smell. He felt that if he went on like this, he might not make it home and harass the driver (Lin Suiyan), so he opened the window for air.

The cool breeze of the night was blowing towards his face. Su Yuli took a deep breath and felt better. He looked out the window and suddenly sat up straight.

Lin Suiyan noticed it and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Su Yuli’s eyes fell on a bright black Mercedes-Benz sedan not far away. The car looked familiar. It seemed that Mu Lang also had one.

Su Yuli looked down, wanting to look at the license plate number, but unfortunately it was blocked by other cars. He frowned slightly, the lights were on in the car, and the owner of the car was obviously still in the car.

Was it really Mu Lang?

On second thought Su Yuli felt that he was wrong. After Grandma Ding had died, Mu Lang never appeared again except in the cemetery that day.

And with Mu Lang’s temperament, how could he sit downstairs if he really came? He would’ve gone upstairs immediately.

After thinking about it clearly, Su Yuli felt relieved, and he secretly said that he thought too much. He leaned back: “It’s nothing, I was wrong.”
