After resolving the two major issues, they resumed their previous work rhythm.
The lounge in the office finally came in handy.
From the end of the year until the beginning of spring in February, Su Chi would pull Su Huanyi almost every day to hone their painting skills.
In spring, the snow and ice at the top of the Tianshan Mountains also melted into a spring tide, nourishing the seedlings that would soon be budding.
Su Huanyi was shy at first, but after doing it twice, he gradually savored the essence of the painting. Whenever Su Chi wrapped his arms around him again, he would cooperate half-heartedly.
The bed in the lounge was so large that after using one side, he could sleep on the other.
Su Huanyi’s face was hot as he watched Su Chi bend over and clean up the bed. “Big brother, second brother bought us this bed. If he knew we used it like this…”
“He won’t know.” Su Chi’s bent waist was lean and powerful. The bed sheet was ripped off and thrown into the dirty laundry basket, “Look at the frequency he sends you coffee.”
Su Huanyi: “…”
He couldn’t help but hold his sore, weak waist and sigh: what a pure and flawless person his second brother was.
The two lived a sweet and nourishing life, and Su Huanyi’s taking up the company was once again on the agenda.
More than half a month had passed since the banquet, and the attention of the public had slowly shifted from “Su Chi annexed the six companies” to “The Su family’s adopted son inherits the branch.”
With so many eyes staring, Su Jitong felt that he could not delay any longer.
When Su Chi and Su Huanyi returned home from work, he called them to sit in the living room with a wave of his hand.
“Little Yi, go to work when the branch office is almost ready. With your current abilities, you’re more than capable of managing it. ”
“Mm.” Su Huanyi responded, glancing at Su Chi next to him.
They were now in love, and a single glance could create sparks. So he was not sure what Su Chi would think if they suddenly separated.
Su Jitong also considered this point, and he turned to his eldest son, “Eldest, you don’t have any objections to my decision, do you?” He added, “You can’t let little Yi remain an assistant for the rest of his life.”
“I know.” Su Chi was surprisingly reasonable, saying, “See when it’s appropriate to let him take up a formal position.”
Su Chi was so cooperative that Su Jitong had a rare moment of doubt.
He scanned the two back and forth several times and then carefully probed, “Are you guys going to break up?”
Su Chi, Su Huanyi, “…”
Su Chi said lightly, “Don’t worry, there will be no such thing.”
They went upstairs together after settling the worried old father.
Su Huanyi didn’t believe Su Chi would let his fat self go like that, and after moving away from Su Jitong’s line of sight, he sidled over, “Big brother, do you really want to exile me?”
Su Chi was now well adapted to his wording and automatically integrated into his language system. “No, I will continue to keep you in captivity.”
“What about taking over the branch…?”
“I have no disagreements.” Su Chi lifted a hand to rub his head, “You should do what you need to do.”
Su Jitong set his posting for three days later.
Three days later, Su Huanyi wrapped his scarf and went out behind Su Chi as usual. Su Jitong stood at the entrance of the foyer and called out to him, “Little Yi, you still remember that you are going to the branch today, right?”
The leaf bud on the potted plant nodded, “I remember.”
Su Chi had one hand up on the wall to change his shoes. He said, without raising his head, “I’ll send him there.”
“You’re not going to work at the head office, are you?” Su Jitong frowned and wanted to say something else when Yu Xinyan interrupted.
“It’s little Yi’s first day on the job. It’s good for the eldest to see him off.” Yu Xinyan walked over from the other side of the living room, “It’s good to show everyone in the branch that little Yi has someone to back him up.”
Su Huanyi hurriedly agreed, ” Mom is right!”
Su Jitong reluctantly followed the formation, “Madam is right.”
The door closed behind them, and Su Huanyi followed Su Chi to the car. As the vehicle started up, he looked down and pulled his seatbelt. “Big brother, are you dropping me off and then heading back to the head office?”
Su Chi held the steering wheel attentively. “More or less.”
The safety latch clicked into place, and Su Huanyi sat back into the seat. “I’ll miss you, big brother.”
Su Chi cast a sideways glance at him and he seemed to smile a little.
Su Huanyi, “?” Shit, why is big brother smiling now?
He had a feeling that things would be different from what he imagined.
The second branch was in the north of the city, which was in the opposite direction from the head office. It took about an hour or so to drive there from home, and it was already half past nine when he arrived at the office.
Su Huanyi got out of the car and asked, “Is it bad to be late on the first day of employment?”
Su Chi closed the door and locked the car in a smooth motion, “You’re not a newcomer to the office, so if you’re late, you’re late. You will look respectable instead.”
Su Huanyi still didn’t quite understand the various styles of the Su family.
The car was parked at the entrance of the company, and a security guard came over to park it as soon as the two got out.
Su Chi handed over the keys and whispered to Su Huanyi, “You go ahead.” He finished and asked, “Do you know why?”
“Yes.” Su Huanyi obediently walked in front, “*Fox fake tiger power.”
*It is a metaphor for oppressing people with the power of others.*
“…” Su Chi gently shoved him to the front, “You are the main character today. Don’t follow behind me. ”
Su Huanyi was a little touched. His cold and arrogant big brother would one day condescend to live behind others. He reached out and pressed his hand onto Su Chi’s back, sliding it along his spine.
Su Chi’s body trembled slightly and his eyes darkened. “What are you doing, Su Huanyi?”
Su Huanyi was filled with love and pity, “Touching your arrogance.”
“…”
On entering the company through the front door, Su Huanyi Yi raised his eyes and saw a familiar person – Xiao Qin was standing in the lobby, flanked by several senior executives in formal attire.
“Director Su.” Xiao Qin bowed slightly towards Su Huanyi, “The senior management of the Su Group’s second branch is all here.”
Su Huanyi was shocked for a moment – why was Xiao Qin here, and was he the “Director Su” being mentioned?
He suppressed his doubts for the moment and nodded in a dignified manner, “Secretary Qin, thank you for your hard work.”
Su Chi gave him a look.
Xiao Qin finished introducing the company’s senior staff to him one by one, and then guided Su Huanyi and Su Chi to the elevator, as he reported to Su Huanyi respectfully, “Director Su, the list of the company’s staff structure that you asked for before has been compiled, and the company’s recent payments have also been summarized in your mailbox. Based on the comments you made, the company’s departments have reworked their quarterly strategic goals. They are now running well on a trial basis, and there has been a marked improvement in effectiveness.”
Several executives next to him cast reverent glances at Su Huanyi.
Su Huanyi hummed, “…… Not bad.” When did I ever give strategic advice?
A group of people strolled from the ground floor of the company to the top floor. Several executives stopped there, leaving only Xiao Qin to lead Su Chi and Su Huanyi out of the elevator.
“This floor is the chairman’s office floor.”
The top floor was similar to the head office, with a secretary’s office first, and then the chairman’s office further in.
Su Huanyi’s eyes drifted, “I wonder who my secretary is. I want a secretary like Xiao Qin.”
A bright light flashed on Xiao Qin’s lenses, “I’m grateful for your love.”
Su Chi pulled him over and said, “Go and see your office.”
The heavy wooden door of the chairman’s office was pushed open. The floor was carpeted. A wide LCD screen was facing the door, and below it was a mahogany table.
Su Chi gestured for him to look at the LCD screen. “How is it?”
Su Huanyi was in awe, “The chairman of the branch can watch TV in the office!”
Su Chi, Xiao Qin: “.…”
Xiao Qin took a look at Su Chi’s expression and judiciously retreated, “This subordinate will go and arrange the work first.”
The office door closed, leaving only the two of them in the space. Su Chi hugged Su Huanyi and bit down on his lips, “Su Huanyi, is your plan to sit here and watch TV?”
Su Huanyi was stung by the bite, and he hurriedly made a correction, “Reading reports.”
Another nibble was placed on his lips with a punishing intensity.
It was only when he had said “read information, read documents, read financial magazines” repeatedly that Su Chi stopped his nibbling. He calmed his breathing and gave Su Huanyi a reminder, “Advance your focus a little more.”
Su Huanyi thought back and opened his numb mouth, “…is the point in sitting here?”
After getting an affirmative look, he continued to ask, “But where can I sit if not here?” It can’t be the underground parking lot and the front desk.
Su Chi grabbed his wrist and carried the person out of the office. “It’s time to go back.”
Su Huanyi followed the man downstairs, “Do you want me to see you off, big brother?”
“No.”
The elevator stopped at the ground floor, and the security guard drove the car to the company’s front door. Su Chi shoved him into the passenger seat and slammed the door shut. He then drove off in the direction of the head office with a slam of the accelerator.
Su Huanyi remained huddled in the passenger seat like a misplaced quail, watching the street scene outside the window recede rapidly.
He carefully made a sound, “Big brother, you seem to have taken me with you.”
“It was not in passing.” Su Chi held the steering wheel and looked ahead. The profile of his side face was clear and handsome. “You had to come with me.”
It was already close to noon when they reached the head office, so Su Chi ordered a meal directly to the office.
Su Huanyi had now thought about the cause and effect, and he was looking at Su Chi differently. “Big brother, you pretended to be submissive but you are actually disobeying him!”
Su Chi tidied up his dignified desk and said, “This is called rational allocation of resources.”
Su Huanyi, “I’m not at the branch, in case there’s something over there that needs my presence…”
Su Chi threw his original words back to him, “It’s not a big deal; make a video call.”
Su Huanyi took a breath, “So I am a *cloud director.”
*think of cloud computing.
Su Chi: “…”
Knock, knock! The door was knocked on twice, and the receptionist delivered their order, interrupting the exchange between the two.
The lunch box was placed on the table and they sat down face-to-face.
Su Huanyi took a pair of chopsticks out and handed them to Su Chi. “So it will be Xiao Qin sitting in the second branch, and my appearance in the company is just a projection, right?”
Su Chu paused at the thought of that image and then shifted the focus, “Didn’t you always want to poach Xiao Qin? He’s now your subordinate. ”
“That too.” Su Huanyi didn’t expect that his small wish would come true in this way, “I’ll have to pay Xiao Qin’s salary from now on. Will I be unable to support him?”
A bank card landed on the smooth table with a click.
“No.” Su Chi had a natural expression as if he was giving out a meal card, “You can take my card and use it.”
Su Huanyi was flattered. “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t give your bank card to others?”
“Are you just anyone?” Su Chi held his chopsticks and looked at him, “Su Huanyi, think clearly before you speak.”
Alas, big brother was really serious. Su Huanyi then sweetly admitted his mistake: “I’m not anyone; I’m big brother’s person.”
Only then did Su Chi withdraw his eyes with satisfaction.
After finishing the pre-lunch conversation, the two started to eat.
Su Huanyi saw that Su Chi’s favourite chicken with potatoes was in front of him, so he pushed the lunch box towards Su Chi’s side, “Let’s put it on your side.”
“No, I can reach it.”
“Then let me just get it for you.” Su Huanyi picked up his chopsticks and scoured the inside. He picked out a piece of chicken and put it into Su Chi’s bowl, “This piece looks the best, the Hermes of chicken on the whole plate.”
Su Chi took the chicken and didn’t put down his chopsticks, only looking at Su Huanyi. The light overhead fell. His eyes were soft and he seemed to have a smile.
Su Huanyi paused, “What’s wrong?” Was he put off by his bird’s nest?
Su Chi suddenly asked, “Do you know now?”
During the long stare-down, Su Huanyi’s heart leapt and felt blessed. They had experienced a similar scene. At the time, he asked Su Chi: they were all dishes on the same plate, what’s the difference?
Now he knew.
It wasn’t some abstract “full of love,” he just picked the best one and naturally gave it to Su Chi.
Just like when Su Chi gave him vegetables, it wasn’t to please or to make him feel grateful. He just wanted to give him the best without any purpose. That’s all.
After half a month of being a “cloud director,” Su Jitong found out what was going on.
Probably because he knew about Su Chi’s way of doing things, Su Jitong only felt that it was to be expected when he found out.
However, the current development was already a hundred thousand miles away from his original intention when he moved Su Huanyi out of the household registration book.
He educated them for a while and then let them go.
From then on, Su Huanyi and Su Chi became completely unrestrained. They went to and from work together every day and came home together.
Their behaviour was so blatant that even Su Jianchen stopped sending coffee.
It was also how Su Jitong discovered that his cool-headed eldest son was so clingy. After witnessing Su Chi follow someone into the bedroom like a piece of *cowhide candy, he finally couldn’t hold back, “Eldest, what do you think you look like?”
*a very sticky candy made with sesame on the outer layer.(Kraft candy)**
Su Chi stopped at the doorway, still holding Su Huanyi in his elbow,”… like a little couple.”
Su Jitong choked for a moment, “Aren’t you afraid that little Yi will get tired of you?”
Su Huanyi was hugged and he blushed as he said to Su Jitong, in a small voice, “I will not get tired.”
“…” Su Jitong punched his chest, turned around and left.
When Su Jitong left, the two entered the room together. Su Chi wrapped his arm across the back of his waist and gently strangled him, “Really? You won’t get tired of me?”
Su Huanyi was not as shy when they were alone, and he stated bluntly, “No, I like having big brother with me.”
Su Chi then laughed and said, “Me too.”
……
After March was the beginning of spring.
Before spring began, Su Huanyi went to buy a pair of rings.
He spent all his life’s savings and the only thing left on him after the purchase was a gold card belonging to Su Chi.
He went to Su Chi’s room with the ring and found the latter sitting on his bed after taking a shower and reading his company’s statements. Seeing him enter, Su Chi put the report aside and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Su Huanyi was a little excited and a little nervous. This was his first time doing something like this, and his heart was beating fast.
He had thought of a lot of words before he came, but his mind was empty when he finally took Su Chi’s hand. All he could do was take out the ring from his pocket, put it on the person’s finger, and say, “Big brother, this is from me.”
Su Chi was stunned.
Su Huanyi’s face was burning. He saw Su Chi not saying anything, and he hurriedly explained, “It’s not a random purchase. Except for my cloud company, the rest of my belongings are here. ”
Su Huanyi withdrew his hand after putting the ring on the person and said, “I hope you don’t mind.”
The hand that was retracting was suddenly clasped, and his upper body suddenly leaned forward—
Su Chi pulled him into his arms, and then a hot and eager kiss fell on his lips. It then went to his forehead, his cheeks, earlobes, lips, neck… all the way down.
Su Huanyi was out of breath, but his heart was calm. He lifted his head to bear Su Chi’s warm kiss, and a faint groan leaked from his rapid breath.
Su Chi kissed his lips again and asked, “You’ve given me everything. What else can I give you?”
“You don’t have to give anything.” Su Huanyi’s lashes fluttered lightly, “You’ve already given me enough.”
A broad palm rubbed the back of his neck delicately, and Su Chi’s words mixed with a warm breath, “I want to give you more.”
Su Huanyi couldn’t think of anything else Su Chi could give him.
Su Chi had already given him all that he could give.
..……
The bedside lamp cast two figures on the wall.
Su Chi’s palm was hot, and only the ring finger had a coldness to it. Su Huanyi could feel the ring’s temperature gradually rise and finally merge with his body temperature.
Su Chi’s sweat dripped down, landing on his forehead and disappearing into his temples.
“Give me your hand.” Su Chi’s eyes were half closed as he insisted on clasping Su Huanyi’s hand.
The fingers intertwined tightly and the two rings pressed together, two bright moist halos glowing under the bedside light.
“Su Chi…” Su Huanyi frowned slightly, tensed and then relaxed. Su Chi wiped his brow and kissed him gently.
It was dark outside the window, and the lights in the room stayed on until the middle of the night.
Su Huanyi was almost asleep by the time the movements in the room stopped. He lay on the bed and squinted at Su Chi, whose cold silhouette looked soft in the warm light.
Su Chi propped up his upper body to turn off the lamp, and then looked out the window with a pause, saying, “It’s raining.”
It was a spring rain that had fallen quietly during the night.
The fine drizzle soaked the stone path with wet mud outside the courtyard, and thousands of water gullies ran into the soil of the flower bed, seeping into deeper places.
Su Huanyi followed his gaze, Su Chi switched off the bedside lamp and took him into his arms. “Go to sleep, didn’t you say you were too sleepy?”
“Yes, a little.” Su Huanyi rested on his heart with his eyes closed. The sound of the rain outside the window was on one side, and the sound of Su Chi’s steady, strong heartbeat was on the other.
The two cuddled for a while in the darkness, and Su Huanyi was dozing off when he suddenly heard Su Chi’s voice ringing out from above his head.
“I’ll give you a home, Su Huanyi.”
Su Huanyi’s heart stirred, and he suddenly lost his sleep. He had experienced the break-up of his family and the abandonment of his closest relatives. Perhaps God was trying to make up for all he lacked before by making him meet Su Chi.
And now Su Chi was saying he wanted to give him a home.
His eyes blinked and he felt a little moisture in them. “Okay.”
It was as if the snow and wind of the past twenty years had stopped at this moment and the harsh winter ended in this season when the grass was growing and the birds were flying.
The long winter night was coming to an end, and the trees were waiting for spring.
In this sudden drizzle, the flowers were blooming, and his heart was filled with spring.
The End
Ty for the translation I truly enjoyed this story 🥺
Thank you ckanda
I enjoyed it a lot o(^o^)o

“I’ll give you a home”, I’m literally in tears, that’s really profound and the ultimate expression of love. With what we know of SHY in his last world, he was lacking family and home and same goes for the boy adopted in this world who unfortunately went crazy after being remived from the family register, both lacked a home, one was lucky with foresight to gain it, the other unfortunately ruined it all with his own hands.
Tysm for TL’ing this! It’s a welcome break to read something without drama and just love.
I’m going to miss this sarcasm filled couple, they were great match for each other.

Thank you for translating this novel! I have really wanted something fluffy and fun to read lately. The book had me in stitches more than a couple of times.
We finally got to the end! Wow, that was quite a pleasant adventure (=^w^=) Hmm, I don’t think I have much to say~ The plot itself was not too complicated, but pleasant to read and I didn’t find too many holes or nonsense in it (灬ºωº灬) At first, I was disturbed by the infantility, even childishness of our main character, but but over time he began to develop o(^◇^)o As his feelings for the SC began to grow, he also began to allow himself to show more character, sharpness and slyness ✧⁺(●′▾‵●)⁺✧ I really enjoyed the relationship in Su’s family as well as between SHY and his friends ٩(๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)۶ Thanks for the great translation and Your hard work! （*’∀’人）♥ Take care and see You with other projects! ❤⃛ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ )
Finally done reading!! It’s been fun reading this. Thank you for translating this story!!
Thank you so much for translating this sweet story. Love the “poetic flowery” way the author and your wonderful translation makes the whole reading experience so beautiful. Tq
Loved it, thank you for translating! ❤️
I really wish it was more clear if ML believes/knows that the MC isn’t the same as the old Su Huanyi.
99% sure ml knows mc has transmigrated bc of the past few chapters.
thank you for translating!!
Nah, transmigration is not what in people’s mind when someone they knew suddenly change. Su Chi is probably thinking that Su Huanyi:
1. Got enlightment. (Enlightment as in in Buddha or Cultivation term)
2. Has multiple personality. (Su Chi thought that our MC is Su Huanyi’s another personality and he hopes that this personality always win against the previous personality)
3. Our MC is a subtitute and the real Su Huanyi’s whereabout is unknown (the purpose for this subtitution is unclear. But after awhile (and after investigation like dna check, etc.), Su Chi probably didn’t care anymore. He preferred our MC rather than the real Su Huanyi)
4. Got possessed by something unclean (which one is the “something unclean” is unclear. Maybe our MC is the ghost who possessed Su Huanyi. Or maybe the previous Su Huanyi is the ghost, and our MC is the real Su Huanyi)
Either choice, Su Chi very much hoped that our MC always be with him (and his family).
Don’t know about transmigration but he does know he’s not the original SHY and I think that’s awesome that he knows SHY for SHY, if that makes sense.
The author truly didn’t give us any disappointment or nonsense drama.
It’s pure Fluff and Epic Hilariousness!!!
And you translator… Your Speed is Beyond Amazing…!!! Wow…how?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE HARDWORKS IN TRANSLATING THIS AMAZING NOVEL WITH GREAT TRANSLATION!!! 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇 FOREVER ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!!!

Thank you so much for your translation! I appreciate you pumping out quality chapters so often, all hail the great god translator ckanda!!
I really enjoyed this novel, made me laugh all the time. I will miss it!
There was one case of “her” instead of the right pronoun for Su Huanyi in this chapter. Also still somewhat wondering what happened to the missing chapter 83 :3c.
It was a pretty eventful journey up to this point. The story was full of ups and downs, and quite an entertaining read so thank you for all your hard work translating it! Hope you have a good rest before you go on to other projects or whatever you do next!
Oh, yes, someone pointed it out to me today that chapter 83 was missing! It’s up there now.
The “her” has been corrected. Thank you for correction! ☺️
It’s over! Ah, how bittersweet. Sweet in the sense that this story was as close to perfect as things can get. It was hilarious, the whole family was so heartwarming, and the couple was exactly my type to read about. I love them all so much!!!!!
Bitter in the sense that now I don’t have something to look forward to during the work week daily anymore. 😭 This story got me through my week.
Thank you so much, eternally, for translating it. It’s been an absolute pleasure to read!
