    Chapter 40: Gu Nian, You Are So Lucky!

    Lin Sui, after admiring his figure, carried his luggage and knocked on Gu Nian’s door. Soon, the door opened, and Lin Sui’s face bloomed into a radiant smile, “Good morning!”

    The corners of Gu Nian’s lips curved slightly, his eyes filled with gentle amusement. He nodded, “Good morning.”

    Lin Sui carried his suitcase in one hand and pushed Gu Nian to the first floor. After breakfast, Jiang Cheng called just in time.

    “I’ll be there soon. Come out, let’s go straight to the airport.”

    Gu Nian had the speakerphone on, and Lin Sui leaned in to listen, unable to resist swaying his feet happily.

    Going on a plane, going on a plane! It was his first time flying!

    Gu Nian noticed his little movement and couldn’t help but chuckle, casually ruffling the young man’s fluffy short hair.

    Lin Sui didn’t get angry at having his carefully styled hair messed up. He smoothed it out himself and then ran off to rummage through his huge suitcase, muttering to himself, taking out a few clothes and putting them back in, endlessly Confused.

    By the time the two of them walked out of the villa, Jiang Cheng had arrived.

    This time, he wasn’t driving his flashy sports car, but a spacious SUV. Jiang Cheng got out of the car to greet them and helped carry the luggage up. Lin Sui stepped forward to open the car door and unexpectedly met a silly grinning face.

    Zhou Shan: “Hi, long time no see.”

    Lin Sui: “!” Lin Sui swallowed the “Woodchuck” that almost slipped out and responded with a dry smile, “It really has been a long time.”

    Gu Nian also turned his head and asked Jiang Cheng, “Why is Zhou Shan here? Isn’t his old man forcing him to inherit the company lately?”

    Jiang Cheng had been waiting for this moment for a long time, confidently revealing eight teeth. “He is forcing him, so Zhou Shan begged me to take him to avoid the limelight for a while.” As he spoke, he shrugged, looking helpless. “You know how disgusting this guy can be when he begs someone. Anyway, we’re going out to have fun, it’s more lively with more people.”

    On the surface, he looked like he was stabbing himself for a brother, but in his heart, he was laughing wildly.

    Hahaha, since you’re here to ruin my sweet date with my dear wife, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.

    With a single, bright light bulb stuck in the middle, he didn’t believe that Gu Nian could still be lovey-dovey.

    Come on, let’s hurt each other!

    Jiang Cheng revealed an evil smile.

    Gu Nian narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Cheng for a while, saying something ambiguous, “Is that so?” Then he and Lin Sui got into the back seat together.

    Jiang Cheng touched the goosebumps that had popped up on his skin and calmly returned to the driver’s seat.

    Laugh to death, having cooperated with Gu Nian for so many years, he was immune to this bit of cold air!

    As soon as he sat down, a woman with a bright appearance sitting in the passenger seat looked at him helplessly and opened her mouth with a headache. “Why do you like provoking Gu Nian so much? Have you forgotten about working overtime for two consecutive nights last time?”

    Jiang Cheng snorted unconvinced, but surprisingly honestly replied, “Of course I remember, but he ruined our date for two, I can’t let him be comfortable either!”

    The woman was speechless at this childish answer and sighed softly after a long while, turning her head to apologize to Gu Nian, “He’s just a love-struck fool, Nian-ge, don’t bother with him.”

    Gu Nian raised his head and said in a calm tone, “Du Wanbai, if you really want him to have some discernment, then don’t spoil him so much.”

    Du Wanbai blinked and shrugged in the same pose as Jiang Cheng, opening her mouth in the same helpless tone, “I can’t help it, who told me I’m also a love-struck fool.”

    Gu Nian: …

    He knew it.

    Gu Nian looked numbly at the scenery receding outside the window, not wanting to talk to this pair of made-in-heaven lovers anymore.

    Lin Sui looked at the beautiful and generous woman in the front row and then at Gu Nian, leaning over to whisper in Gu Nian’s ear, “You guys have a really good relationship.”

    Gu Nian was silent for a while, not refuting, “It’s okay.”

    Lin Sui continued to sigh, “I’ve never seen you chat so relaxedly with anyone. I always thought you always had a straight face with everyone. I didn’t know you would actually bicker.”

    Alas, he wondered when Gu Nian would be able to get along with him like this.

    Lin Sui was a little sad.

    Gu Nian turned his head to stare at Lin Sui after hearing this, and after realizing that he was serious, he showed a rare look of confusion.

    When had he ever worn a straight face with Lin Sui?

    Lin Sui hugged his little backpack, still immersed in depression, unable to extricate himself.

    In this war where two pairs of lovers were both losers, only Zhou Shan, sitting in the back row hugging a plastic bag, half-dead, gained mental health.

    Zhou Shan: Wuwuwu, carsickness is so uncomfortable!

    Arriving at the airport, checking in, boarding, and finally, finally taking off, Lin Sui completely lost his worries, clinging to the window and staring outside the plane.

    The sky was so blue, the clouds were so white, and he was flying above the clouds!

    Lin Sui happily started shaking his head again.

    Gu Nian was sitting next to him. Lin Sui couldn’t bear to take his eyes off the window, reaching out a hand to grab Gu Nian’s arm, excitedly pointing outside, “Gu Nian, look, that cloud looks like a shark. Do you think we’ll encounter sharks this time?”

    That’s how it was in the movies he watched, so exciting.

    Gu Nian expressionlessly helped him fasten his seatbelt. “Watch fewer movies. Sharks don’t eat people, and there are no sharks where we’re going.”

    Lin Sui gave an “oh” and lowered his head slightly, looking disappointed.

    Gu Nian stiffened, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. He pursed his lips and whispered close to Lin Sui’s ear, “It’s very similar. If you want to see sharks, I’ll take you to the aquarium next time.”

    “Okay!” Lin Sui instantly raised his bright, smiling round face, cheering softly. A hint of cunning flashed through his almond eyes, his expression lively and alluring.

    Gu Nian inexplicably felt a little thirsty, picking up his water cup and taking a few sips, his Adam’s apple bobbing intensely, but the thirst was not relieved at all.

    He wanted to kiss.

    Gu Nian thought expressionlessly.

    Four hours later, the plane landed on time. Lin Sui pushed Gu Nian to collect their luggage, his backpack containing a stack of sketches he had drawn casually. Jiang Cheng had specially bought milk and was wagging his tail around Du Wanbai, while Zhou Shan was hugging the airport trash can, half-dead.

    Zhou Shan: Wuwuwu, you couples are too much!

    Finally, Lin Sui discovered the pitiful single dog and helped buy him a cup of iced water, asking with concern, “Are you feeling very uncomfortable? Do you want me to help you go rest for a while?”

    Zhou Shan hugged the cup and drank it all in gulps, tears welling up in his eyes with gratitude. “Then I’ll have to trouble you…” He suddenly met Gu Nian’s cool gaze out of the corner of his eye, his voice faltering, his smile even more miserable. “No need, I can still walk on my own.”

    Wuwuwu, these couples are all inhumane!

    Lin Sui looked worriedly as Zhou Shan stood up, staggering, still not reassured, and reached out to help him. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly darted over, abruptly propping up Zhou Shan.

    Zhou Shan stared at Jiang Cheng with a bewildered expression.

    Jiang Cheng smiled: “Let me help you, we’re all good brothers!”

    Damn Gu Nian, he was threatening him with a bonus!

    Seeing this, Lin Sui didn’t insist anymore, turning back to Gu Nian’s side.

    Gu Nian raised his eyes, glanced lightly at the “loving” good brothers duo, and chuckled softly.

    Heh, trying to fight me.

    The pre-booked taxi arrived quickly, and the five of them got into the car, with Zhou Shan sitting in the front to relieve his motion sickness. There were two rows in the back, which should have been occupied by the two couples, but upon boarding, at Du Wanbai’s strong request, she and Lin Sui switched places to sit together in the back.

    If it were someone else, Gu Nian definitely wouldn’t have agreed, but the other party was Du Wanbai. Gu Nian was still a little wary of this woman, and coupled with Jiang Cheng, that love-struck fool, begging her sadly, Gu Nian was eventually worn down and had no choice but to agree.

    Lin Sui didn’t have any opinions, hugging his backpack and obediently shrinking by the window, but his eyes would occasionally curiously drift to Du Wanbai, hesitating whether to speak.

    At the same time, Du Wanbai was also sizing up her friend’s new husband, a thoughtful expression on her face. After a long while, she suddenly sighed.

    Lin Sui’s heart skipped a beat.

    Crap, did Du Wanbai dislike him?

    Lin Sui remembered all the things the original owner had done, and his whole body wilted.

    However, unexpectedly, after Du Wanbai sighed, she suddenly raised her hand and smacked Gu Nian on the shoulder.

    “Gu Nian, how could your dead fish face find such a cute wife?” Du Wanbai looked at Lin Sui with affection. “Dating someone like Gu Nian, who’s unromantic and only knows how to work all day, must be very tiring.”

    Gu Nian: …

    He knew it would be like this.

    Lin Sui was stunned for a moment, subconsciously shaking his head, “No, Gu Nian is very good to me, and I also really… like him.”

    “Alas.” Du Wanbai sighed again, shaking her head and earnestly Advise, “Little Lin, you’re blinded by love. We can’t be love-struck fools. Someone like Gu Nian, if you let him out, he’ll be scolded for occupying the privy and not shitting. Even if he’s good-looking, you can’t be blindly optimistic!”

    Lin Sui:?

    Lin Sui explained frantically, “But, Gu Nian really is very good to me.”

    Du Wanbai started shaking her head and sighing again, her eyes full of a “young man, you’re too young and don’t understand” look.

    Gu Nian: …

    Gu Nian said coldly, “Du Wanbai, do you want to die?”

    “See, I told you.” Du Wanbai seized the evidence and rigorously argued, “Not only is he so much older than you, but he also has a bad temper.”

    Gu Nian: …

    Damn it.

    Gu Nian’s handsome face was as dark as ink, and cold air was shooting out. Jiang Cheng next to him skillfully moved to the side, seriously pondering Du Wanbai’s words just now.

    Wanbai seemed to like Lin Sui quite a bit. Should he also try a cute, energetic style?

    Along the way, Du Wanbai chatted enthusiastically with Lin Sui. Apart from the initial topic inexplicably going off-track, Lin Sui chatted with her very happily. By the time they arrived at the hotel, the two had become like sisters, huddling together and whispering, with laughter coming out from time to time, forgetting the other two men behind them.

    Gu Nian: …

    He really wanted to curse.

    Arriving at the hotel front desk, Lin Sui reluctantly separated from Du Wanbai, agreeing to continue chatting later, and then went to the room with Gu Nian.

    This hotel was located by the sea. Opening the window revealed the vast, blue sea and the lively crowds on the beach. A faint fishy smell floated in the air. Lin Sui took a deep breath, the unfamiliar feeling making him excited.

    Lin Sui happily opened his suitcase, sorting out the clothes he brought, finally solemnly placing the swimsuit he thought was the most beautiful on top.

    His abs (unfinished version) were finally about to make their debut!
