AMTBYIGA Chapter 70
by Volare“But, but… it’s just… that…” Zhou Shan’s eyes darted around, stammering in defense, “But, he’s actually a pretty good person. He took care of me when I was studying abroad, and it’s not like it’s serious enough to call the police…”
As he spoke, Zhou Shan’s voice faded away, seemingly feeling that he was being indecisive. He dejectedly sat on the floor and stopped talking.
Lin Sui tilted his head, thinking that Zhou Shan truly deserved to be Gu Nian’s good buddy, their tsundere personalities were exactly the same.
However, Zhou Shan, a burly man of 1.9 meters, was actually the one on the bottom?
Lin Sui secretly glanced at Gu Nian, and the little flame in his heart whooshed up.
Since someone like Zhou Shan was okay with it, then Gu Nian should be too, right?
Gu Nian suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He turned his head and saw Lin Sui looking at him with sparkling eyes, with something unspeakable hidden within.
“What are you looking at?” Gu Nian mouthed.
“N-nothing.” Lin Sui guiltily averted his gaze, his voice involuntarily rising a little.
Zhou Shan silently looked up at the flirting couple in front of him. All the confusion in his heart vanished in anger, and he angrily punched the floor. “You guys are going too far! I’m still here!”
Gu Nian glanced at him and said bluntly, “Leave if you don’t want to see it. I can’t interfere with your affairs. What can you do if someone wants to pursue you? Who told you to run back to the country and handle it with coldness? He’s already found you here. Do you think he’ll give up?”
Zhou Shan was speechless, his face full of worry. “I didn’t expect it to be like this. I thought he was just drunk and talking nonsense that time.”
Lin Sui tried hard to piece together what he had heard, roughly reconstructing the events.
When Zhou Shan was studying abroad, a classmate secretly fell in love with him because of some things. After being confessed to, he ran back to the country. Now the person had come to his door to pursue him, and Zhou Shan was preparing to escape again… In a sense, Zhou Shan was a bit of a scumbag.
“So what are you planning to do in the future? Reject him again?” Lin Sui was a little curious about Zhou Shan’s attitude towards this pursuer.
“This…” Zhou Shan hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying, “I should reject him. I never thought about being with him.”
Lin Sui carefully sized up Zhou Shan and quickly understood the true meaning of the sentence: I don’t know, but I just want to hide first.
It could be said that he was very much like an ostrich.
Gu Nian sighed, speechless at Zhou Shan’s way of dealing with his feelings. After thinking about it, he still compromised, “I can help you cover for your dad, but don’t let me see you after we arrive.”
“I promise to disappear from your sight as soon as the plane lands!” Zhou Shan jumped up, wishing he could bow to Gu Nian a few times.
The original world of two was briefly turned into a trio. Lin Sui didn’t mind. He curiously asked about the pursuer, and Zhou Shan just happened to be missing a confidant, so he spilled everything. In the end, he asked with a bitter face what to do.
Lin Sui thought seriously, and then realized that he didn’t have any solutions either.
After all, he had only been in love with Gu Nian once in both his lives, so he had no experience.
But Zhou Shan looked really pitiful. Lin Sui couldn’t bear to say nothing, so he racked his brains and recalled the novels he had read recently, and hesitantly said, “Why don’t you try finding a fake lover?”
“Will it work?” Zhou Shan seriously asked.
“It should work.” Lin Sui said, “I’ve seen many people share their experiences and say that most people will choose to leave when they see that the person they like has a partner.”
Zhou Shan thoughtfully pondered, seemingly thinking about who could be this candidate.
As he thought, he casually asked, “Where did you see this?”
Lin Sui seriously said, “Zhihu.”
“?”
Zhou Shan suddenly stopped. “What ‘hu’?”
Was it that Zhihu where you share the stories you just made up?
Lin Sui took out his phone to show Zhou Shan, found an article and pointed to it, saying, “Look here, the author got rid of the scumbag like this. I’ve even saved a lot of them.”
Zhou Shan stretched his neck to look at the words on it, and fell silent.
[After discovering that my boyfriend cheated on me, I ordered the top escort at the KTV]
Just the first line revealed a strong internet novel vibe.
Zhou Shan felt like he was an idiot for seriously thinking about it just now.
Gu Nian couldn’t listen anymore and pulled Lin Sui to his side, keeping them away from each other.
Lin Sui looked innocent, still not understanding the situation.
The driver in the front desperately tried to hold back his laughter, telling himself that he must not laugh, this was the boss’s wife, he couldn’t laugh.
In this subtle atmosphere, the three boarded the plane.
Because Zhou Shan had squeezed in later, he only bought an economy class ticket. Lin Sui and Gu Nian bought business class, and they separated to go to their respective seats after boarding.
Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally quiet.
To be honest, he was already starting to regret letting Zhou Shan come with them.
Fortunately, after the plane took off, Lin Sui forgot about Zhou Shan and stared out the window intently, holding a drawing board in his hand and moving a charcoal pen quickly with his right hand. He could almost create a sketch in ten minutes.
The drawn papers quickly piled up on the small table, but Lin Sui didn’t have time to organize them. Gu Nian neatly stacked each one and slowly flipped through them.
Sometimes, Gu Nian would wonder if Lin Sui wasn’t from this world. Why could someone always have such a rich curiosity about the world? Even a cloud could be worth his stopping to look and even leaving behind drawings.
In Gu Nian’s eyes, clouds were clearly just the condensation of rising water vapor, but in Lin Sui’s pen, they suddenly had a vitality, as if they were injected with a soul, giving them a unique meaning.
Just like those people with special cone cells who could see more colors, Lin Sui also had a more special “cell” that could see angles that ordinary people couldn’t see and discover different kinds of beauty.
As Gu Nian watched, he became distracted and thought about Lin Sui. He suddenly felt a rustling sound next to him, like something was being torn open. The next moment, a blank piece of paper was held in front of him.
“Gu Nian, look at this!” Lin Sui held one side of the white paper with one hand and rapidly flipped the pages with the other. The sheets of paper, which had been cut into palm-sized pieces, were flipped quickly, and the pencil drawings on them seemed to move like an animation.
A cloud appeared from the edge of the paper, its shape changing slightly as the paper was flipped. Finally, the cloud stopped in the middle of the screen, its shape changing from scattered to a vague heart shape.
The last piece of paper also fell, and the scene stopped abruptly, leaving only the heart-shaped cloud on the last page.
Gu Nian looked stunned, seemingly surprised.
“Isn’t it interesting? That’s how that cloud turned into a heart. I think it’s more meaningful to record it this way than with a camera.” Lin Sui said regretfully, “But there’s not enough paper, and I didn’t see the rest.”
Gu Nian seemed to not hear Lin Sui’s voice, his eyes staring at the heart-shaped cloud on the last piece of paper. After a long time, he finally confirmed that he had not seen wrong.
Below that cloud, there were four words written in pencil and then erased.
“Lin Sui Gu Nian”
Gu Nian had looked for so long just to make sure he wasn’t mistaken.
Gu Nian pursed his lips and asked in a low voice, “Can I have this?”
“You like it? Of course.” Lin Sui said, “I’ll draw more for you in the future, bigger and better-looking than this!”
As he said this, Lin Sui’s eyes sparkled, like a child who had received praise, eager to take out all his good things.
Gu Nian carefully put the thick stack of paper into his bag, thought about it, and then took it out and put it in between several books to be at ease.
In the sweet voice of the flight attendant, the plane flew over thousands of miles and finally reached its destination. As soon as Lin Sui got off the plane, he shivered and was stunned by the cold.
Gu Nian quickly found a cotton jacket and put it on Lin Sui, smiling and saying, “We’ve arrived.”
Lin Sui was confused and looked around, asking, “Where’s Zhou Shan? Why can’t I see him?”
“I don’t know, maybe he went to find a hotel himself.” Gu Nian didn’t care. “He’s an adult, he won’t get lost.”
Lin Sui thought about it and agreed, so he stopped dwelling on it. After putting on the cotton jacket, he curiously asked, “Where are we exactly?”
Gu Nian said with a smile, “You’ll know soon.”
Lin Sui pouted unhappily. Gu Nian was still being mysterious at this time!
Hmph, did he really think he could stump him like this!
Lin Sui triumphantly opened the navigation software, clicked on location, and then in the next moment—
His eyes gradually widened, and stars seemed to live in his eyes, twinkling brightly.
“This, this is, Changbai Mountain?” Lin Sui couldn’t control his excitement and looked at Gu Nian in surprise.
Gu Nian didn’t expect Lin Sui to have this method. He chuckled, “Yes, do you like this surprise?”
“I love it! I love it so much!”
Lin Sui jumped up and down in his white cotton jacket, looking like a cute glutinous rice ball, attracting curious glances from passersby.
Looking at Lin Sui’s happy and excited appearance, Gu Nian also felt unparalleled happiness and satisfaction.
After a long time, Lin Sui calmed down from his excitement a little. His fair face flushed with a red glow, whether it was from excitement or from the cold wind.
He looked around, suddenly bent down and cupped Gu Nian’s face, forcefully kissing him on the corner of his lips!
The sound was loud enough for the passersby to take another look.
Gu Nian was slightly stunned, and the face that always remained unchanged in front of Taishan collapsed quickly, instantly covered with a blush.
Lin Sui laughed heartily, pushing Gu Nian against the cold wind towards the outside of the airport. The wide cotton jacket was blown slightly, and a pair of invisible wings appeared on his back, as if he would take off with the wind in the next second.
Under the azure sky, two or three clouds drifted by leisurely, not stopping for anyone, but only stopping slightly above Lin Sui’s head, seemingly observing whether Lin Sui was one of their companions.
At this moment, Lin Sui was free, unlike a human being.
