Transmigrated As a Villain, I Rely on Sand Sculpture to Survive

 

The dim light cast a shadow on the side of Su Chi’s high nose. Su Huanyi looked at him for a while, and Su Chi raised his eyes as if he felt something, “Why are you looking at me?”

“Big brother is a good…. man.”

“Su Huanyi.” Su Chi’s hand went still, “Don’t send me things you are saving for Nie Yihu.”

“……” Su Huanyi changed his words to, “Big brother is really nice.”

Su Chi snorted softly.

After another five or six minutes of massaging, Su Huanyi sat up and leaned against the bed. Su Chi was still leaning over him, “Feeling better?”

“I don’t feel so bad anymore. Thank you.”

Su Chi straightened up and sat down on the edge of the bed. “You just appreciate verbally?”

Su Huanyi hastily reached out and held his arm, giving it a massage in return, “I’ll give you a squeeze too.”

Su Chi allowed him to knead his arm like dough. Su Huanyi was still pressing as he asked, “Are you comfortable, big brother? Won’t I be able to open a shop with this technique in the future? ”

“Yes, your steamed bun shop will be prosperous.”

“…” Su Huanyi didn’t battle with him because he was still grateful.

After a few minutes of massaging, Su Chi looked at the nail marks on his arm and sent him back to bed. Su Huanyi waved his hand as he stepped out of the balcony door, “Good night, big brother.”

Su Chi held the door frame, “Good night.”

…..

After returning to his bed, Su Huanyi tossed and turned until early morning before he finally fell asleep. Su Jitong and Yu Xinyan had already finished their breakfast by the time he got up the next day and went downstairs.

Wu Ma was setting breakfast on the table, and he greeted the couple.

“Little Yi is up.” Su Jitong then showed off. “Your mother and I got up at seven o’clock and walked around before coming back for breakfast.”

Su Huanyi sighed, “Wow, you’re in good spirits.”

Yu Xinyan also sighed, “It’s not that I’m in good spirits, it’s that the older I get, the less I sleep.”

Su Huanyi reassured her. “Mom and dad are still alive and strong.”

Su Chi, who was eating next to him, looked up and Su Huanyi tensed up, “Did I say it wrong again?”

Su Jitong, “You’re not wrong. It’s just an exaggeration, but we like it. ”

“….”

A pot of millet porridge was placed on the table, and Wu Ma set up breakfast for Su Huanyi. Su Chi then said to him, “It’s good for your stomach, so you should drink more.”

Yu Xinyan asked, “Little Yi has indigestion? Go to the kitchen and drink a cup of honey water. Your father and I also had a cup this morning. ”

“Okay.” Su Huanyi went to the kitchen to make some honey water. After making his own, he thought of Su Chi. He was probably so touched by the scene last night when Su Chi rubbed his tummy that he thought of being more considerate too.

So he made a glass for Su Chi and brought it to the table, saying, “Brother should drink it too.”

Su Chi took it, “How rare.”

“We’ll have it more often in the future then.”

Su Yu and Su Jianchen came downstairs and walked to the dining table. Su Yu cupped his chin. “How come you’ve not made one for me?”

Su Huanyi said, “Then I’ll make a drink for third brother too.”

Although his elder brother treated him the best, he still wanted to serve the others a glass of the water. That way, the difference in treatment would not be so obvious and they would avoid another “two peaches killing three soldiers.”

He asked Su Jianchen, “Would you like one as well?”

Su Jianchen’s breath rose to the back of his throat, and he gave a reserved “mmm,” looking reluctant.

Su Huanyi gauged his expression, “If you don’t want to drink it, then forget it. There’s no need to force yourself. ”

Su Jianchen instantly shouted, “Who said I was reluctant!”

“…”

There was no other arrangement after breakfast. Su Chi changed his clothes and was about to leave the house when he was caught by Su Huanyi, who peeked out from the balcony.

“Where to!”

Su Chi put on his jacket and frowned slightly, “Don’t talk in the tone of a white knight.”

Su Huanyi apologized and peeked through the doorway, “So where are you going, big brother?”

“You couldn’t find any stomach medicine yesterday, so I’m going to the pharmacy to get some of the commonly used ones.”

A dumpling stuck on him, “I’ll go with you!”

The pharmacy was not far from their house, and it would only take 20 minutes to walk there. Yu Xinyan was in the kitchen studying desserts with Wu Ma when she turned her head and saw the two brothers leaving the house. “You two should walk more. Less exercise leads to indigestion. ”

Su Huanyi corrected, “I had just eaten a lot.”

“…” Yu Xinyan neutralized and perfected, “Eating a lot and exercising less leads to indigestion.”

Su Chi led the person away, “Where do you get the sense of honor?”

Su Huanyi hung his head in shame.

The morning sun had just emerged from behind the ancient and tall buildings. It was half-hidden in the soft clouds, and the pale golden glow spread across the street.

Su Chi and Su Huanyi walked out of the street side by side.

Su Huanyi was a bit out of breath after walking a thousand metres uphill. Su Chi stopped and asked, “Why are you so physically weak?”

It’s not that Su Huanyi was poor physically, he just hadn’t had any systematic training in a long time.

It’s because big brother’s physical strength is too good. ”

“And how do you know that?”

“I just know.” His big brother is a talisman!

Su Chi didn’t say anything but slowed down when they began walking again.

They arrived at the nearest pharmacy half an hour later. Su Huanyi followed Su Chi in and the smell of medicinal herbs filled his nose. He liked the smell, and he breathed in and out like a blower.

The shop assistant who came to guide them gave him a strange look and then asked Su Chi, “What do you need, sir?”

Su Chi said, “No need, I’ll find it myself.”

The shop assistant left, and Su Huanyi hustled over to him, “You can find so many medicines yourself?”

“I was afraid that his presence would affect your ventilation.”

“….” Su Huanyi was grateful, “You’re very kind.”

Su Chi easily walked through the shelves and picked out a few boxes of commonly used medicines. There were also two boxes of motion sickness pills inside. Su Huanyi asked him what he bought them for when they were checking out.

Su Chi took out his card and swiped it, “We’re supposed to go to Lushan Lake three days later. It’s been the same every year.” He glanced over, “Did you forget?”

Su Huanyi hurriedly made a cover, “We came at a later date this year, so I wasn’t sure whether it would be the same.”

Su Chi took the bag and went out, “Let’s go back.”

Su Huanyi hurriedly followed him, mentally warning himself to be cautious with his words and deeds.

The Su family set off for Lushan Lake three days later.

Before the trip, the rabbit backpack reappeared, and Su Huanyi was shocked the moment he saw it.

Where did this backpack come from? He didn’t pack the one at home. Why were there so many rabbit backpacks in the Su family?

Su Jianchen’s eyes remained on the rabbit ears for two seconds before moving away.

The family got into the car, and Su Huanyi sat in the back row with Su Chi. The backpack was left in the front for the two brothers to play with, and he leaned back and took two motion sickness pills.

There were going to be some mountain roads later, and this body was too fragile, so he wanted to be prepared.

The car drove out onto the uphill stretch of road in front of the gate, heading towards Lushan Lake.

The golden morning light fell on the car. It was going to be a good day

…….

Lushan Lake is located at the border between southern Yunnan and other provinces. It had a long and beautiful shoreline, surrounded by mountains on three sides and a lush forest.

The lake was crystal blue and had occasional ripples on its surface. There were popular local attractions around the lake, such as Lovers’ Bay, the Hanging Cliffs, and the Wishing Forest. The Su family left in the morning but did not reach the outside of the area until the afternoon because of the tourist flow during the holiday season.

The afternoon sun fell on the concrete road surface, reflecting the bright daylight. Yu Xinyan was wearing sunglasses and a sun hat, and her long white dress made her look elegant and charming.

“Little Yi, you’ll hold my sunglasses when I’m taking photos later.”

The scenery at Lushan Lake later was perfect for taking photos, and there was also a “Lover’s Bay” inside. When one takes a picture from the photo platform next to it, the three sides of the mountains and forests will circle the lake in the shape of a heart; many couples like taking pictures in front of it.

Su Huanyi understood his parents’ little interest and said, “Okay.”

The family entered through the entrance of the attraction and blended in with the bustling crowd. Su Jitong was holding Yu Xinyan’s shoulder, and Yu Xinyan was leaning on his shoulder. Her head tilted toward the sun, and Su Jitong almost ate the brim of her hat.

Yu Xinyan instantly laughed.

The four brothers behind them: “….”

Su Jianchen had a complex expression, and he turned to his brothers, “How did they get together? By poking?”

The question instantly poked Su Huanyi’s laughter point. He giggled and shook with laughter. The strands of hair on top of his head poked Su Chi’s face.

Su Chi: “…”

The onlooker, Su Yu, had a new understanding of his second brother’s social graces: the deliberately planted flowers do not bloom, but the willows planted unintentionally thrive.

They followed the crowd to the shore of the lake, and most of Lu Shan Lake came into view-pure blue water settled below the pale white clouds overhead, the green mountains and forests reflected along the shoreline.

“Wow…” Su Huanyi trailed off in a tone that was even longer than the mountains before being cut off by Su Jianchen, “It’s not like you haven’t seen it before.”

The sound came to a screeching halt and Su Huanyi slowly ended the lingering “wow” with “…ah, it’s still as beautiful as it was in previous years.”

A snort fell from overhead.

Su Huanyi looked up at Su Chi’s perfectly curved jawline. He was suspicious, “Big brother, were you laughing just now?”

Su Chi: “When did I laugh? Don’t you have a short memory?”

…..

Su Huanyi could not argue. He really did not have a long memory.

It takes about 20 minutes from Lu Shan Lake to get to the legendary “Lover’s Bay”.

Every year when the Su family comes here, Yu Xinyan and Su Jitong will take a photo there.

After the tourists in front of them had finished taking pictures, Su Chi stood on the shooting platform to take a picture of the two of them, while Su Huanyi held Yu Xinyan’s hat and sunglasses as he waited by the side. Yu Xinyan was leaning on Su Jitong’s shoulder, and they were holding each other from behind. Their pose was intimate and had a tacit understanding. They looked like an old married couple at first glance.

Su Huanyi was suddenly touched.

The mountains and the lake behind them had remained unchanged for years, testifying to the unchanging relationship between Su Jitong and his wife.

After taking a picture of his parents, Su Chi walked up to Su Huanyi and asked after a pause, “What’s wrong?”

Su Yu and Su Jianchen were gathered in front of Su Jitong and his wife to admire the photos they had just taken, and Su Chi’s tall body was standing in front of him, blocking the view of the others.

Su Huanyi held his breath to stifle his tears, “I’m crying over beautiful love.”

“….”

Yu Xinyan put her glasses and hat back on to protect herself from the sun. “The scenery here is so good that it’s not necessarily only couples that take photos. You can take some too if you want. ”

Su Jianchen wasn’t interested in taking pictures; “I don’t need it.”

Su Huanyi was ready to move, and Su Yu next to him glanced over, “Does little brother want to take a picture with third brother?”

“Third brother.” A deep, cold voice cut off the exchange between the two.

Under Su Chi’s gaze, Su Yu went through the whole process in a few seconds: he bounced on the bottom line and quickly retreated.

Su Yu pulled Su Jianchen and skipped off, “Little brother, I don’t look good today, so I won’t be taking photos.” The two then left in a huff.

Su Huanyi felt that his third brother’s excuse was comparable to “the phone is out of gas”!

He turned to Su Chi and asked him, “What does he mean that he doesn’t look good today? Doesn’t he look the same as usual? ”

Su Chi was indifferent, “Don’t worry about him, he is Su Yu.”

**珽 (Su Yu’s name) is a  character translating to a jade sceptre used by emperors in ancient times that varied in shape from time to time. **

“….”

The two stood in the same place for a while. Su Huanyi looked at the “Lover’s Bay” and still wanted to take a picture. He guessed that Su Yu had found an excuse to leave because of Su Chi’s warning, reminding them not to do anything that could be misunderstood in public.

Su Chi’s voice came from beside him, “Do you want to go take a picture?”

“Yeah.”

Su Huanyi thought that Su Chi would take a picture of him alone—he would look a bit silly in the middle of all the lovers, but it was only for a few seconds.

Su Chi suddenly said, “Come on, I’ll find someone to take a picture of us.”

Su Huanyi: “What?”

He was still in a daze when he was dragged to the front of the lake. The girl with the phone on the other side was already prompting him, “Pose, and I’ll take the picture on three!”

A hand fell over his shoulder, not very close and keeping a brotherly distance.

Su Chi whispered, “Look at the camera.”

Su Huanyi stopped his racing thoughts and tilted his head towards Su Chi, adjusting into a “big brother is reliable” position.

Click! The photo was taken.

The two thanked the young girl, and Su Huanyi came up to take a look at the photo. The two people in the photo were both slender and good-looking, and they looked very close to each other.

Because of the random angle, the lake behind them was photographed in the shape of a slightly inclined heart.

Su Huanyi was quite satisfied and said, “Brother, look at us. We are really a pair of immortal-looking brothers. It’s just that this heart is a bit crooked, hehe! ”

“Let’s go.” Su Chi put away his phone and walked ahead. Su Huanyi happily followed.

Su Chi’s hand in his trouser pocket kept holding his phone as he walked through the clouds.

Su Chi thought the picture was very good. If the heart was crooked, it was crooked; he was already so partial and crazy for this man anyway.
