The earthquake hadn’t stopped and the scene was a bit urgent, so Su Jitong just glanced at them and said, “Eldest, little Yi, hurry up and go downstairs!”

Su Chi answered, “Okay.”

They ran downstairs with one hand being held by Su Chi while the other clung around his collar. His fear of the earthquake and his nervousness at the prospect of being exposed hit him at the same time.

He ran down the stairs with Su Chi, whispering, “Big brother!”

Su Chi turned and just said to him, “It’s okay, I’m here.”

They arrived downstairs and found the door of the house wide open. Su Yu and Su Jianchen were already standing in the courtyard, and Su Jitong soon ran out with Yu Xinyan in tow, “Are you all right?”

Su Yu: “What can be wrong, Dad?” He glanced towards the house, “Where are big brother and little brother?”

“They are at…..” Su Jitong suddenly paused with a strange expression on his face, and said, “They should come out soon.”

He had just said this and Su Chi came out with Su Huanyi.

Su Huanyi’s collar had been buttoned up, and his chest was now blocked tightly. Half of his body was huddled behind Su Chi, carefully peeping at the expressions on Su Jitong and Yu Xinyan’s faces.

The situation had been so chaotic that everything had to be temporarily put aside due to the natural disaster. Now that the situation had settled down, he wondered if the couple would come to their senses-It was the middle of the night. He and his elder brother had run out of the same room.

His collar was wide open at the time, so there might have been other clues.

Yu Xinyan didn’t seem to notice the abnormality and was focused on the earthquake. “We felt the tremor on the third floor, so that must have been a five or six magnitude earthquake, right?”

Su Jianchen took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The earthquake information had been pushed to Weibo, “The epicentre is in northern Yunnan, with a 5.8 magnitude.”

“That’s good. It’s not a big earthquake, but I’m afraid there will be aftershocks and I won’t be able to sleep at night. ” She looked at Su Jitong after saying that, but the latter didn’t come up to sweetly comfort her as usual.

Yu Xinyan frowned, “Jitong, did the earthquake make you stupid?”

Su Jitong snapped back to attention, “Ah, what did Madam say?”

Yu Xinyan’s gaze was sharp.

Su Huanyi immediately hid deeper, secretly poking Su Chi’s lower back with his finger: Big brother, big brother, quickly give play to your talent for doing meticulous work.”

His hand was grabbed with a snap.

Su Chi held his hand in front of the family, “Su Huanyi, why are you poking me? Do you think I’m a seismograph? ”

***A seismometer is an instrument that responds to ground noises and shaking, such as those caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and explosions. ***

Damn! How dare you make trouble! Quickly let go!

Su Huanyi was feeling anxious before, but he was so shocked by Su Chi’s actions that his hair went stiff.

A searching gaze swept over them.

“Little brother,” Su Yu suddenly stepped forward and hooked his neck, “Are you afraid? Do you want third brother to sleep with you at night? ”

“Why are you sleeping with him?” Su Chi let go and put his hand back into his pocket. “Will you use your sceptre to send him away when the earthquake comes?”

Su Yu gave a “humph” and didn’t say anything more.

With Su Yu’s insertion between the two, the scene was diluted a little.

Su Huanyi looked at Su Yu and said, “Thank you for caring, third brother.”

A hand patted him on the head, “Don’t be polite, little brother.”

Yu Xinyan envied, “The youngest in the family is lucky to have so many loving brothers.” She finished with a meaningful look at Su Jitong, “Even happier than a married woman.”

Su Jitong quickly reacted and temporarily put aside his doubts and came over, “I’ll be in front of my wife when the earthquake comes!”

Yu Xinyan raised her hand and rubbed her husband’s face.

The family stayed in the courtyard for about ten minutes, and the night temperature was getting colder. Su Jitong saw that the problem was not so serious, so he said they should go back in.

Su Huanyi followed the family into the house. He was at the end of the line, trying to reduce his presence.

As they passed by the living room, Su Jitong suddenly spoke up from the front, “Eldest, little Yi, come up with me for a moment.”

Su Huanyi’s hair shuddered.

Su Chi stopped in his tracks and said, after a few seconds of silence, “We’ll come up later.”

Su Jitong also stood still, his solemn gaze falling on his eldest son. “What else do you have to do?”

Su Chi turned and walked into the living room, stopping in front of the cabinet on his left. He’s hurt, so I’ll apply some medicine to him. ”

“Little Yi is hurt again?” Su Jitong shifted his gaze to Su Huanyi and exclaimed in surprise, “What’s going on here?”

Su Huanyi’s acting skills went online in a second, and he spoke with emotion, “My left foot stepped on my right when I was climbing out of the bathtub. My right foot then kicked the edge, making me roll back along the original path and hit my chest. ”

Su Jitong choked for a moment, then said, “There’s no need to describe it in such detail.”

Su Huanyi: “….”

Su Chi got the medicine box and put it on the living room coffee table. “Dad, I’ll apply the medicine on him first.”

“Oh.” Su Jitong turned around and admonished Su Huanyi, “You should pay more attention and be more safety conscious, seeing as you always get hurt.”

“Yes, dad.”

Su Jitong then paused, “Forget it, you guys can go upstairs and rest after you have applied the medicine.”

He was also impulsive—his eldest son was a very unenlightened person, and the two brothers didn’t make any effort to avoid suspicion when they were together. Maybe he thought too much.

The third one also cares for Little Yi, so what’s wrong with the oldest one caring for bruises at night?

Alas! If it was really a misunderstanding, then it would have been embarrassing to ask directly!

Su Jitong added, “What I wanted to discuss isn’t a big deal.”

Su Huanyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief; “Okay, we’ll go up to bed after applying the medicine.”

“Okay.”

“Good night, sons!” Yu Xinyan waved her hand to the brothers and took the tangled Su Jitong upstairs.

The couple left together, and Su Chi beckoned his own glutinous rice dumpling, “Come here.”

The rescued dumpling immediately rolled over.

Su Jianchen didn’t leave either, but he and Su Yu released their goodwill, “Are you badly hurt? Let me help you. ”

At these words, three pairs of eyes fell on him at the same time!

Su Jianchen, “What?”

Su Huanyi pressed the picture of snow that was covered with plum blossoms under his collar, “No, thank you, second brother.”

His exclusive art hall was not open to the public.

The second and third brothers went back to their rooms, leaving Su Huanyi and Su Chi alone in the living room.

Su Huanyi sat on the sofa and watched as his elder brother took a cotton swab and wielded it like a fairy wand to create forged evidence.

“Big brother, I don’t think this is a long-term solution. Dad must have suspected us today.”

The fairy wand was run over and thrown in the trash, “but he didn’t go ballistic.”

“So?”

“It means Dad isn’t completely against it.” Su Chi finished setting up the scene and bent over to pick up the medicine box, “We just have to cook him more.”

Su Huanyi took ten seconds to react to what “more cooking” meant, then realized – it was the frog effect again!

“Shouldn’t we be more careful then? Not to expose it to Dad until he’s fully cooked… and adapted. ”

Su Chi put the medicine box away in the cabinet, turned around and carried Su Huanyi upstairs. ” Let’s get along as we always do. I’ll take care of the rest. Don’t worry about that. ”

Su Huanyi was carried forward as he asked, “What can I do then?”

“You just have to keep liking me.”

……………………

Su Huanyi was blushing until he was carried back to his bedroom.

Oh, is this what it feels like to be in love? Big brother, who is so cold and has such a poisonous tongue, could also say such sweet things to him. ” Hehehe…… gaah!”

He was patted on the head and Su Chi looked down at him, “Su Huanyi, you can be happy but don’t make such strange laughter.”

Su Huanyi closed his mouth reservedly.

They stood facing each other in the room for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he reached out and nudged Su Chi, “Big brother, you should go to bed.”

“Are you driving me away?”

“No!” Su Huanyi felt that although his big brother was sweet, he also had a troublemaker side to him. “It’s time to go to bed.”

Su Chi looked at him for a while and then suddenly said, “There might be an aftershock at night. Aren’t you afraid? ”

Su Huanyi said, “Not really. ” although I am quite nervous.

Su Chi remained motionless and asked him again, “Are you really not afraid?”

“Of course not ……” he said, and then suddenly raised his head with a flash of enlightenment!

The light in the room fell from overhead, falling on Su Chi’s dark eyes and bringing a subtle glow. He suddenly remembered the unsatisfied look in Su Chi’s eyes when he looked back as they left the bedroom earlier.

Su Huanyi felt hot and he pursed his lips, “That… I’m a bit scared. ”

He was then enclosed in an impermeable embrace in the next moment, “Do you want me to stay with you tonight?”

The strands of hair curled shyly, “It’s… it’s okay.”

Not long after, the lights in the room were switched off, leaving only a single bedside lamp.

Su Huanyi retreated into the covers and looked at Su Chi standing in front of the bed. The latter’s tall body exuded a palpitating sense of aggression.

It was a familiar scene—during their lunch break in the lounge before, Su Chi had also walked over to him like this.

He’d felt a vague sense of crisis then. He didn’t expect his intuition to be so sensitive!

Su Chi lifted the quilt and went in, leaning against the headboard to look at him. “Why are your eyes so wide? Are you giving me light?”

Su Huanyi was a little uncomfortable with having a new person under his quilt. He shrank back under the quilt, leaving only his eyes: “No, go to sleep now, big brother.”

Su Chi stretched out his arm and switched off the bedside lamp. The quilt was turned over and he lay down.

In the dark room, only the natural light from outside fell in through the balcony door. Su Huanyi found that Su Chu’s silhouette was coated with a soft layer of light and his lines looked handsome and harmonious.

He leaned towards Su Chi, but just as he moved over, an arm grabbed him by the waist and pulled him over. He was now tightly pressed against Su Chi’s chest.

The sound of the pounding heartbeat was so loud in his ears that he couldn’t tell whether it was his or Su Chi. The warmth of their bodies came through their thin clothing, and Su Huanyi felt a warm touch on the top of his head.

Su Chi held him in his arms and kissed him, slightly pressing him sideways. Su Huanyi also raised a hand to his shoulder, raising his neck for a kiss.

They hugged and kissed for a while, and the arm around his waist gradually tightened. Su Huanyi backed away with a muffled groan, “I’m going to suffocate, big brother.”

Su Chi retreated and buried his head in the crook of Su Huanyi’s shoulder. His chest was rising up and down, and he took a deep breath to calm his chaotic breathing.

Su Huanyi felt like he was being sucked in and he said, “Big brother, it’s like you’re sucking in the Yang energy like this.”

Su Chi paused in his pacifying movements. His deep voice was still hoarse as he said, “Don’t mess with me.”

Su Huanyi obediently hid in the dangerous harbour. He laid down for a while and thoughtfully suggested, “Big brother, do you need a shower?”

“No.”

“That’s right.” Su Huanyi was thoughtful, “It wouldn’t make sense if the aftershock comes and the whole family runs out but you’re left in my room taking a cold shower.”

“….”

” But don’t worry, I’ll still stay with you even if you can’t run away.”

“Thank you. I’m touched.”

Su Huanyi buried his little face; he felt that he was so sweet.

On the principle of not torturing each other, the two slept half an arm’s length apart. He said “good night” to Su Chi in the dark and slowly closed his eyes.

A second before his consciousness fell into a deep sleep, his forehead seemed to be touched, and he heard Su Chi’s sombre voice, “Good night.”

……

The next morning, sunlight fell through the glass door and onto the bed covers.

Su Huanyi woke up in a daze and felt heavy. He tried to move, but his waist was tightened a little.

He remembered that they slept together last night, so he called out sleepily, “Big brother…”

There was no response from the person beside him, so Su Huanyi rolled to his side and buried his head in the warm, tight embrace. He opened his sleepy eyelids and was about to poke his big brother’s abdomen to wake him up when he suddenly froze in place.

Shit! Su Huanyi’s sleep immediately disappeared. He had felt something he shouldn’t have felt.
