Chapter 117 (1/2)

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

On the second day before the wedding, the guests from China finally arrived in Los Angeles one after another. They stayed at Uncle Alan’s hotel. In fact, the number of guests was not very large. The total number of guests was not more than one hundred. Although the Shen family had high prestige in H city, Shen Fu did not plan to invite everyone, only the important people. If the people were here just to cater to the horse, it was better that they did not come.

Papa Shen was busy receiving guests. After all, most people were close friends of the Shen family. As for Shen Fu’s friends, they were all given to Chen Fang, and Chen Fang was finally put to use. Shen Fu and Lin ShuYi had nothing to do, so they waited for the day of their marriage where they would take the oath hand in hand under the witness of everyone.

Lin ShuYi had been a little impatient in recent days. The specific symptoms of restlessness were waking up early in the morning, staying up late in the evening and being distracted from time to time, even when others were talking in his ear.

As a person who was closest to Lin SuYi and would be closer to him in the future, Shen Fu naturally saw everything. He knew that Lin ShuYi must be worried about something, but he did not know exactly what it was.

He had wanted to wait for Lin ShuYi to tell him himself, but now that it was almost the time of marriage and Lin ShuYi still had no intention of telling him, Shen Fu thought about it and decided he should ask himself.

After dinner with Old Master Wen, who came to Los Angeles in the evening, they all went home together.

After getting out of the car, Mama Shen went upstairs with Tao Tao in one arm and Xiao Yu in the other, saying that she was looking at the toys everyone had bought for them. The two little guys left happily. Shen Fu took Lin ShuYi’s hand and walked to the room.

Lin ShuYi looked back at Xiao Yu and asked, “What do you want to say?”

Shen Fu drew him closer to the room, closed the door, pressed the man against the door and whispered in his ear, “I should ask you if there is anything you want to say to me?”

While Shen Fu was talking, he rubbed his lips along Lin ShuYi’s ear. His ears burned up instantly, but he knew what Shen Fu was talking about. He had been too obvious as his spirits were mixed, in these last two days. Everyone could see it.

He thought it over and over in his mind for a long time. He did not know whether to tell Shen Fu or not. After all, this matter was related to gods and ghosts. In China, he knew that they did not believe in gods and ghosts.

He began to think distractedly again. Shen Fu raised his eyebrows and sucked heavily on his neck. “Is that what distracts you?”

Lin ShuYi subconsciously hummed for a while, which made Shen Fu more agitated.

Lin ShuYi reached out and pushed him away. “Wait a minute… don’t you want to listen to me?”

He could feel Shen Fu’s love and know how much this man took his family seriously. He believed that what he wanted to say would not change his life. So he wanted Shen Fu, who he loved, to know all about himself.

He used to think that these words would probably be buried in his heart forever and would not be heard by anyone, but now he felt that he could say them to Shen Fu, even if Shen Fu listened to them, it would be incredible.

He gave Shen Fu a gentle push, but did not push him completely away.

Shen Fu lowered his head, drew closer to him, and half-squinted his eyes as he found Lin ShuYi’s lips, and kissed them gently. “Now I’ve changed my mind. I can hear it later.”

Lin Shuyi tried hard to be frank and forthwright, but his lips were stuck to Shen Fu’s mouth. When the turbulent tide faded, Lin ShuYi kneaded Shen Fu’s shoulder and calmed down. Then he opened his mouth.

Before he spoke, Shen Fu leaned over him and opened his mouth first. “Now can you tell me what you are thinking these two days?”

Lin ShuYi laughed. “Well, before that, let me ask you, do you believe in ghosts and gods?”

Shen Fu did not guess that Lin ShuYi would ask him about this, but he thought about it seriously and said, “In fact, frankly speaking, no, I am not a complete materialist, but God and ghosts only exists in stories, I still can’t believe it.” Lin ShuYi smiled, and it was like what Shen Fu would say. Shen Fu squinted his eyes and looked at the crystal chandelier in the middle of the room. Because only the middle light was turned on, the light of the crystal chandelier was very dim. He said in a trance, “Actually, I don’t believe in gods or ghosts. If ghosts are only souls, there is probably a little credibility. But I do not believe in God at all. The reason why there is even a God in the world is so that people will always have hope for heaven. When they are eager to get something or can’t solve something, they give themselves comfort and confidence with the help of this non-existent creature. Because I don’t have anything I want or can’t solve, I don’t believe in God.” After Shen Fu finished, he realized that the topic was far away. He looked at Lin ShuYi and asked, “Wait a minute. You’ve been distracted for so long. Is that what you’ve been thinking about?”

Lin ShuYi shook his head. “Of course not. I want to tell you more, although it sounds more like nonsense.”

Shen Fu was stunned again, and then lay down on the bed. Lin ShuYi laid his head on Shen Fu’s chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. He felt inexplicably comfortable.

Shen Fu reached out and touched Lin ShuYi’s hair. “I know something about it. What do you want to tell me?”

Lin ShuYi looked up at him in surprise. “You know?”

Shen Fu laughed. “If I guess correctly, it should be about your own life.”

Lin ShuYi’s eyes grew bigger and he thought it was unbelievable. “How do you know…”

Shen Fu lowered his eyelids and his eyelashes cast a gentle shadow on his cheeks. He laughed, “Well, I know a lot, but it’s not all. I’ve been waiting for you to tell me, although I’ve also had an intuition that it doesn’t matter.”

Lin ShuYi didn’t know what expression he should use to express his surprise. He could only look at Shen Fu in a daze and he almost forgot what he was going to say.

Shen Fu laughed. “Don’t you want to tell me? Where will you start?”

Lin ShuYi thought about it for a while, but he really didn’t know where to start. Then he thought again and said, “If you don’t believe in ghosts, I’m really worried that you’ll think I’m telling ghost stories.”

Shen Fu: … “That’s all right, you say it.”

“Actually, I come from another world. In that world, my name was Lin ShuYi. It’s exactly the same as it is now. I was born in ancient China and I from childhood, I…”

Shen Fu:…

Lin ShuYi only spoke a few words, but Shen Fu’s expression made him unable to speak any more. “What’s with your expression?”
