Chapter 138 (2/2)

With satisfaction, Su Yuyang replied, “We’ll be together for a lifetime.”

Feng Ji glared sourly at Su Yuyang. Grinning as he pulled out the aprons he had prepared beforehand, Feng Ji handed them to the couple. “Xiao An and I are leaving next week. This week, you two can get used to the place.”

Su Yuyang took an apron and passed it to Ling Miao.

“What about you?” Ling Miao asked.

“I’m the boss, so I just have to sit to one side and watch,” responded Su Yuyang matter-of-factly.

“Fuck.” Ling Miao took the other apron and put it on Su Yuyang before he could react. Seeing that Ling Miao and Su Yuyang had familiarized themselves with the shop, Feng Ji and An Yan prepared to go on their vacation.

Afterward, the following scene repeated at W&S every day: A young and handsome man leisurely stood at the cash register. Although his handsome brow was gently creased, his whole appearance was very likeable. Whenever someone started staring at him, an angry voice would say, “Xiao Miao, what are you daydreaming about?” Then, the owner of said voice would possessively embrace the man and gently kiss his cheek. In response, Ling Miao would indicate his head hurt.

And sometimes, the scene would go like this: “Su Yuyang, take these things to the customers at table five… Su Yuyang, clear table three… Su Yuyang… Su Yuyang…” The man called “Su Yuyang” bustled about nonstop like a spinning top. The man who was making him work was the youth behind the counter. In time, everyone was able to guess the relationship between the two. Some curious people would go up to the register and ask Ling Miao many questions, which were all fielded by Su Yuyang.

After a day of hard work, Ling Miao collapsed on the bed the moment he got home. Su Yuyang tapped Ling Miao and told him to shower. Ling Miao turned over and whined, “I’m so tired. I’ll take a nap first.”

“You’re all sweaty,” Su Yuyang said disdainfully. “If you don’t go, I’ll carry you there.”

“I’ll go, alright?” Ling Miao picked up his pajamas and dragged his tired body to the bathroom. Su Yuyang opened his laptop and continued writing the chapter he had not finished during the day. When Ling Miao returned after his shower, he saw that Su Yuyang was still writing. “You’ve had a tiring day, don’t write any more. Why don’t you rest early?” Ling Miao suggested with concern.

“I feel fine.” Su Yuyang’s face was carefree and not a hint of tiredness could be seen. “Besides, I’m about to write the ending. I want to write it all in one go.”

“Then, I’ll sleep first.” His voice thick with sleep, Ling Miao couldn’t take it anymore. He nestled into the blankets and quickly fell asleep.

It was 2 a.m. when Su Yuyang finished writing the ending. The man on the bed was sleeping like a baby, his pouted lips a faint pink. Drawn in by the scene before him, Su Yuyang bent down and pressed his lips gently to Ling Miao’s own. The other man seemed to notice. He gave a whine and twisted his head. Su Yuyang frantically raised his head. Seeing that Ling Miao hadn’t woken up, he let out a breath. He hugged his lover from behind so that Ling Miao’s back was flush against Su Yuyang’s chest. Feeling the warmth from Ling Miao’s body, Su Yuyang’s lips lifted in a contented smile.

Su Yuyang and Ling Miao’s daily life was filled with squabbling. Su Yuyang would wear a dark expression because other people were staring at Ling Miao and wouldn’t look away. Then, Ling Miao would give instructions to Su Yuyang with an even darker expression, leaving Su Yuyang so busy he had no time to watch Ling Miao.

At home, Su Yuyang prepared his new book while Ling Miao wrote. This was the quietest and happiest time for them. The pair sat back to back on the bed, busy with their own things. When they got tired, one would rest for a while against the other’s shoulder. Ling Miao often fell asleep as he rested. When this happened, Su Yuyang would help Ling Miao edit his chapters and upload them on time.

Every so often, Su Yuyang and Ling Miao would receive photographs and postcards from Feng Ji. Heh, Feng Ji had even met up with Yan Li! Feng Ji and An Yan’s vacation was still ongoing but it had to be cut short for one thing: Yan Li and Ji Linxi were getting married! Cough, cough, according to Yan Li, she was pregnant.

“Fuck! Linxi’s moving too fast, isn’t he?” Reading Yan Li’s letter, Ling Miao gained some respect for Ji Linxi.

Su Yuyang only said, “I don’t think Ji Linxi started it.”

“Neither do I.” Feng Ji grinned. “Yan Li has such a strong personality, and Ji Linxi is awkward. I don’t think he would initiate it.”

“You’re back!” Su Yuyang turned to see Feng Ji and An Yan standing at the shop entrance.

Yan Li and Ji Linxi’s wedding took place in her hometown. Yan Li couldn’t do everything herself, so the preparations were basically handed over to Su Yuyang and Ling Miao. Now that Feng Ji was back, Su Yuyang could hand off a lot of things. “Xiao An, let’s get married too!” Feng Ji suddenly suggested. An Yan took hold of Feng Ji’s hands and shyly nodded.

Su Yuyang watched Ling Miao’s back and concluded, Marriage is a pretty good idea. Ling Miao felt a chill at his back. He shuddered and turned to see Su Yuyang’s dangerous smile.
