    Chapter 109: Gluttonous Lamb

    Lin Sui looked at the little lamb with its head stuck in a burlap sack, four legs kicking frantically outside, and paused in brief silence.

    Just, how did this little Baby sneak in and learn to steal food all on its own?

    The staff also pointed the camera over, and this adorable and funny scene instantly appeared in the livestream, which was packed with over a hundred thousand viewers.

    【……】

    【Is this it?! Is this what my barrage-opening is for?!】

    【How can the lamb be so dumb, can you even say that?】

    【A few-month-old cub happily receives a huge social death, congratulations, congratulations】

    【Hahahaha, so it’s a lamb, I thought it was a rat】

    【So cute, I’m taking a screenshot first】

    【This cub has good teeth, no wonder it’s so fat it got stuck】

    【Upstairs, do you have any manners?!】

    The cameraman froze for a moment, then relaxed, finding it funny and helpless.

    Lin Sui couldn’t help but smile, but quickly restrained himself, solemnly crouching down to help enlarge the opening of the burlap sack, freeing the lamb’s head.

    The lamb was only as tall as Lin Sui’s calf. As soon as it was free, it bleated and darted behind the sack, watching Lin Sui warily.

    Lin Sui was a little at a loss. After thinking for a moment, he took a handful of grass and bent down, luring it, “Baby, come here, there’s good food here.”

    【Aaaaaah, SuiSui’s tone is so gentle, whoever is charmed, I won’t say】

    【Damn it, Gu CEO really got a bargain】

    The lamb saw the fresh grass and hesitated. Its clear eyes were filled with longing, but finally overcame its fear. It ambled over to Lin Sui and lowered its head to take a big bite.

    Lin Sui seized the opportunity to hug the lamb’s body, carrying it out of the warehouse towards the sheep pen with a hold like he was holding a cat.

    During this time, he made sure to hold a handful of grass in his hand. Originally, it was just meant to be better than nothing, but he didn’t expect it to be so effective. The lamb slowly ate the grass in his arms, without any resistance.

    Lin Sui’s eyes were complicated for a moment, but thinking about how this guy got himself stuck in the sack for food, he suddenly didn’t find it so surprising.

    Angqin was outside, seemingly looking for something. When he saw Lin Sui carrying the lamb out, he immediately rushed forward excitedly, his rugged face still flushed with anxiety.

    Lin Sui realized that this lamb might be special and quickly handed it over. “I found it in the warehouse. It was stealing food and got stuck in the bag.”

    Angqin eagerly took it and checked it over, his large hands stroking the lamb’s fur, his eyes filled with cherish. The lamb also affectionately rubbed against his hand, not even a little bit distracted by the grass in Lin Sui’s hand.

    “Thank you so much,” Angqin said gratefully, the usually difficult-to-approach man seeming to suddenly drop his coldness, becoming more talkative as he explained, “This lamb was the cub my wife was most looking forward to before she passed away. I usually don’t restrict it much, I didn’t expect it to run over there on its own.”

    As he said this, he kept stroking the lamb, his eyes filled with relief.

    Lin Sui felt sympathy and also a little envy.

    Angqin and his wife must have had a very good relationship. If—he meant if—if he and Gu Nian could be like this, that would be great.

    But the truth was that they were still arguing, and he himself was the one who refused to make up. Lin Sui suddenly felt a little discouraged, wondering if he really didn’t deserve to be loved by others.

    Putting himself in Gu Nian’s shoes, if he were Gu Nian, constantly doubted and denied like this, he would definitely be disheartened too.

    Perhaps someone like him, who was afraid of others being kind to him, wasn’t suited for being in a relationship.

    Lin Sui lowered his eyes to hide the loneliness within and said goodbye to Angqin, about to go back to continue working.

    Angqin glanced at the camera following them and suddenly said, “That person who’s very close to you, he’s at the horse farm right now. I saw him once by chance, he’s a very good rider, today’s work should be very easy.”

    Lin Sui paused slightly, inexplicably understanding that this sentence was about Gu Nian.

    But, why did he have to tell him that specifically!

    Was his concern for Gu Nian that obvious?

    Lin Sui’s pupils dilated, forcing himself to appear indifferent. “Why are you telling me this?”

    Accustomed to being straightforward, Angqin didn’t understand the meaning of “saying one thing but meaning another” and said in confusion, “Aren’t you two a couple? I was stopped by him just now and he asked how you were doing. I thought you would also want to know what he’s doing.”

    Lin Sui: …

    Although what he said was right, he didn’t have to be so blunt!

    It was so awkward!

    Lin Sui’s ears turned red, and he fled in a panic, stumbling over his own feet.

    Behind him was the following camera, the cameraman’s face full of the same auntie-like smile as in the livestream.

    Today was also a day to shed tears for a heavenly love story!

    Lin Sui was a little distracted after returning to the warehouse. Although he said he didn’t care, in reality—how could he not care!

    He unconsciously touched the inside of his thigh, remembering Gu Nian’s gentle and focused look as he applied the medicine, and his cheeks flushed again.

    He wondered if Gu Nian was also chafed. Lin Sui thought to himself, if he was willing, he could also help him apply the medicine.

    This was just reciprocating a favor, and had nothing to do with his personal wishes.

    Lin Sui guiltily tried to justify himself.

    The lamb loss incident greatly improved the relationship between Lin Sui and Angqin. After Angqin finished his own work, he came over to help Lin Sui, and with an experienced worker, the efficiency instantly took off. The work that Lin Sui had originally estimated would take until nightfall was surprisingly finished early when the red glow appeared in the sky.

    Lin Sui rubbed his sore back and looked at the red glow in the sky outside, his thoughts flying over to the horse farm.

    However, he concealed this distraction under the guise of appreciating the beautiful scenery, making it difficult to notice. Angqin, however, suddenly had an inspiration and proactively said, “If you have nothing to do, go take a look around. I’ll take care of things here.”

    Lin Sui was a little embarrassed. “How can I do that…”

    “It’s okay.” Angqin waved his hand, nonchalantly saying, “This little bit of work is just moving my fingers. This should be your first time on the grasslands, right? Go see more of the scenery.”

    Lin Sui didn’t dare to refuse any further and, trying to restrain his excitement, headed straight for the horse farm.

    At this time, everyone’s work was coming to an end. As soon as Lin Sui arrived at the horse farm, he saw Gu Nian sitting on a tall horse, expertly leading the horse back to the paddock. He was also wearing a characteristic hat of this place. The red glow outlined his angular face, making him look even more handsome.

    Lin Sui stared blankly, shamelessly.

    Gu Nian saw him at a glance, the cold expression on his face melting away like ice and snow in the spring. A gentle smile appeared on his lips, and he waved at Lin Sui.

    The sun was setting, and he looked like a god descending to earth.

    “!”

    Lin Sui reflexively lowered his head, his mind replaying that heart-stopping scene, his heart pounding violently.

    Gu Nian’s smile deepened. He couldn’t wait to settle the horse. Without bothering to remove his protective gear, he immediately ran towards Lin Sui.

    He hadn’t felt anything while working during the day, but now that he suddenly saw Lin Sui sneaking over to see him, Gu Nian felt a sense of belated longing. His heart was soft, and he only wanted to take a good look at Lin Sui, hug him, and even do something more… excessive.

    Gu Nian strode forward with a happy heart, but before he could reach Lin Sui, another uninvited guest took his place first.
