Two things that were completely incomparable were put together forcefully by Meng Ting. How awkward must that have felt? However, through the look on his face, the emotion in his eyes, and also his eloquence, people could not help but believe him.
Being compared like this by Meng Ting, Yan Sui could not raise any resistance.
When Meng Ting saw that Yan Sui just looked at him without saying anything, he completely turned around, then he came over, grabbed Yan Sui's hand, and pulled him close to the window.
"Does it look nice?"
"It looks nice," Yan Sui answered. He moved forward and pulled Meng Ting in front of him, his hands looped around Meng Ting's waist, and rested his chin over the boy's shoulder. When the sea breeze gently blew in, he slowly closed his eyes.
Meng Ting slightly turned his head to the side to look at Yan Sui. His lips brushed over the side of Yan Sui's face. He stayed in that position a little longer, then he turned his head back. His cheeks were a little red, still, he firmly held on to Yan Sui's hands, that were embracing him by his waist.
Yan Sui opened his eyes slightly, then slowly closed them again. The corners of his mouth evoked a smile. This mood was a little more beautiful than the sunset over the sea.
After a long time, Yan Sui whispered in Meng Ting's ear to ask, "Let's take a walk on the beach?"
"Okay."
They opened the door and came out. The group of men, who were roaming around in the corridor of the second floor, all turned around, one by one, and swept their gazes on them, as if they wanted to find anything wrong with Yan Sui and Meng Ting, but they found nothing at all.
Meng Ting confronted their gazes. His impulse to use all of his limbs to simultaneously grab on to Yan Sui had arisen once again. His eyes slightly opened wide, held Yan Sui's hand with his, and quietly tightened his grasp on it.
Yan Sui looked at Meng Ting and thought that he was nervous when he was looked at by these people.
"This is Meng Ting, your sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-Law!" Five people in the corridor of the second floor dropped their jaws. Regardless if they said it in a loud voice or in whispers, shouting or not, their voice when they said 'sister-in-law' sounded particularly uniform.
"You already know Zhong Ming. He is Ji Ke. He is Xiao Ming."
Yan Sui pointed at three, who were right in front of them, then gave Meng Ting an introduction.
"Hello." Meng Ting said hello. His eyes were full of sincerity, but his body, that was unconsciously vigilant, still remained unchanged.
It felt like he was carrying his favorite big white steamed bun his arms, then he walks in a crowd, not knowing whether they were hungry or not. He could smell that sweet and fragrant flavor, but he was afraid that if anyone approaching would also smell it, they would turn around and snatch it from him.
Of course, he was aware that Yan Sui was not a big white steamed bun, but he likes Yan Sui as well. Even Yan Sui's mother said that if the people who wanted to marry Yan Sui lines up, the line would continue from the north to the south of the city. In that case, how many people would there be? There was a great chance of running into them in a party like this.
He was very worried.
"I'm Shi He. Sister-in-Law, you can just call me Rock, just like Boss Yan does." said a tall man behind Zhong Ming. Yan Sui did not need to open his mouth anymore since he already introduced himself. After Shi He introduced himself, he elbowed the more sophisticated man beside him.
"Senior, I didn't expect I'd be able to have a drink in your wedding feast so soon." The man, who wore a black suit and a white shirt, had white skin, looked so gentle and refined in manners, and spoke quite amiably. "I'm Rong Nan, and I have the same teacher as Senior. Senior was the apple of the eye of our teacher. Even in our gathering, which was held every year, he always boasted about Senior."
"Yan Sui's very good," Meng Ting answered, then nodded, but he grabbed Yan Sui's hand even tighter. Although this Rong Nan did not give him such a strong vibe that he coveted Yan Sui just like Su Siyu, he still felt that there was something odd with him. Moreover, everyone called him 'Sister-in-Law', but it was only Rong Nan who did not address Meng Ting like that.
Yan Sui gently nodded at them and said, "I'll take Meng Ting to the beach for a walk, then we'll come back later."
After he said this, that row of five men naturally made way for them.
Rong Nan slightly hesitated, but made way for them as well, then watched Yan Sui as he led Meng Ting away.
"Gee, why's our sister-in-law so obedient that I want to touch him." Shi He muttered out his own feelings. He smiled and held Zhong Ming's shoulders in front of him. After that, he raised his hand to ruffle Zhong Ming's hair. Since he could not touch their sister-in-law's hair, he could only make do with his buddy.
Zhong Ming had a muddled look, then with sullen face, he began to resist, "Rock, you're so bold. You even dare to touch my hair?"
"How was my touch…?"
Several men, who rarely gathered together, were fighting, making a ruckus, and bursted out with rage. It was a very nasty situation, but they could not deny that they were sincere enough rushing back to Haicheng after traveling thousands of miles.
Yan Sui and Meng Ting heard Zhong Ming's howling downstairs and some of them were even laughing and frolicking, but the couple did not stay. They came out of the villa and went to the beach for a walk.
The soft fine sand that they had stepped on under their feet felt very special. Meng Ting's footsteps were heavy for a moment, then became light the next. He was having a very good time.
He suddenly bent over and grabbed a handful of sand, then said, "It's so soft."
He opened his hands slowly, and the fine sand slipped away from the narrow slits between his fingers. When the sea breeze blew, the sand that was left on his palm was also blown away.
Meng Ting looked down at his palm. Yan Sui did not know what he was thinking of at this moment, which gave him the urge to hold the boy in his arms.
He took a step forward and gently pulled the boy into his arms, then he whispered to ask, "What are you thinking?"
"The wind was so strong that it blew away my sand."
Such matter as grieving over the passing of spring or feeling sad with the advent of autumn, Meng Ting could not do it. There was a reason why he opened his eyes wide, "It blew into my eyes."
He looked up at Yan Sui, and there was already a layer of misty tears in his eyes, which made them look moist.
Obviously, Yan Sui was thinking too much. He almost made an unexpected mistake. However, being looked at by Meng Ting like this, Yan Sui was still soft-hearted.
He let go of his hand from Meng Ting's back, held up Meng Ting's face, and got a little closer, "Bear with it, don't blink."
"Yeah." answered Meng Ting. He lifted his face obediently, and restrained himself from his impulse to close his eyes. His eyelashes could not prolong the control and slightly trembled. His peach blossom eyes' grace covered all in one glance.
Yan Sui's Adam's apple rolled up and down, then he forced himself to concentrate a little. He inspected Meng Ting's eyes carefully, then he blew his left eye, where the sand got into, "Blink your eyes once, then open them and let me take a look at them again."
Meng Ting heard what he said and opened his eyes obediently, but the rims of his eyes and eyelashes were wet and the tip of his nose was slightly tingling. He did not feel wronged, but his aggrieved look was extremely pitiful.
Yan Sui was even more distressed, so he blew it again twice, "Blink again." After a moment, he asked, "Is it okay now?"
Meng Ting blinked again and again. When he felt that it was better now, he nodded, "It's alright now."
He raised his hand to wipe his tears, but Yan Sui caught his hand.
"Don't rub it with your hand." Yan Sui said then fished out a silk handkerchief from the pocket of his suit, and his other hand lifted Meng Ting's jaw, then he wiped his eyes carefully. "You can play with sand, but you need to be more careful. If it gets in your eyes, then it won't be good."
Meng Ting did not respond. He just looked at Yan Sui. The coast's landscape was very beautiful as before, but it was certainly not as good-looking as Yan Sui, who spoke to him like this. Yeah, his Yan Sui looked the best.
As the two men stood on the sandy shore, the setting sun cast oblique rays that lengthened their shadows.
They did not walk too far. Just standing on the second floor of the villa, one could see their figures from afar. From the moment when Yan Sui took the initiative holding the boy in his arms, all of the laughing and frolicking consciously calmed down, and each and every friend of Yan Sui's stared at each other stupidly.
Even if they did not know what Yan Sui and Meng Ting had talked about, was it still necessary to find more evidences? Inadvertently, other than the 'you and me, me and you [1]' sweet words, they completely ignored their intimate behavior. Yan Sui bowed his head to blow Meng Ting's eye, but all of them thought he was asking for a kiss.
([1] 你侬我侬 means "you and me, me and you" it's an expression which is used for two people who are very in love)
Just when their cheeks were about to go sore and withdraw their gazes, the two shadows overlapped again, but this time, it seemed that Meng Ting kissed Yan Sui.
"Oh my gosh! I want to fall in love, too. I definitely don't want to be oppressed like this." Shi He cried out loud and hooked Zhong Ming's neck firmly once again, "How about if we get together?"
Zhong Ming looked sideways, "Okay, deal with my Dad first, then I'll get together with you.
"Hehe," Shi He laughed and withdrew his hand, then he looked at Zhen Han, "Master Han, let's get together. Boss Yan is too much! We must give him a taste of his own medicine."
Zhen Han glanced at Shi He seriously and then turned his head and said, "You're too ugly."
Shi He got shot twice in a row and dejectedly retreated two steps. He looked extremely sad.
"Okay, okay, is there anything good-looking for you, haven't you been oppressed enough?" Gu Lang said loudly, but he looked like he had just been oppressed miserably. He escaped the first day, but he could not escape the fifteenth. He was mentally prepared, but he did not expect that Yan Sui would be so inhumane. Didn't they realize there's a dozen bachelors here!?
In fact, Meng Ting did not kiss the man at all. Since the sound of the sea waves was too loud, he was afraid that Yan Sui could not hear him, so he leaned a little closer, that was all.
"I like you, I like you very much."
The afterglow of the setting sun reflecting on Meng Ting's eyes was very beautiful. His eyes were so absorbed in looking at Yan Sui, as if only he could hold him down.
The reality was also the same. At the moment, Meng Ting completely forgot where he was. The heartbeat in his chest suddenly became very clear, and of course, Yan Sui's heartbeat was the same. He was too excited and his heartbeat was too fast, even when there was no kiss involved and they were not calming each other. Yan Sui only talked to him and watched him, and his heartbeat accelerated.
At this moment, he did not need anyone to tell him. He was aware that what had caused this erratic heartbeat of his was a very simple reason, yet it was the most unexplainable one.
He had never liked anyone before, and it was unlikely that he would like anyone else in the future.
He likes Yan Sui now and even in the future. He was very sure about this.
Meng Ting's flowery language repertoire was very small and he did not know how to describe his own like for a person. He could only repeat the word 'like' itself incessantly, yet this word was more touching than any flowery phrases.
The sound of the sea waves crashing made some noise as they come and go. Yan Sui did not even have a way to determine whether his heartbeat was getting faster or slower. This feeling was very special, as if his world had shrunk in an instant, narrowing down to the point where he could only see what was right before his eyes.
After a long time, he responded to Meng Ting with a gentle smile on his face, then held his hand. It was the kind of holding hands wherein ten of their fingers were clasped together. After that, both of them continued roaming on the sandy shore that was laden with the afterglow of the setting sun.
There were a total of thirty who were coming to this party. Yan Sui's long-time good old friends were also coming. The atmosphere was livelier than ever. Even if Yan Sui gets mad and harsh at everyone over and over again, he could not stop their enthusiasm to gossip as it raged in their hearts.
The little information that Gu Lang and Zhen Han had was already reviewed several times by everyone, but their information about Meng Ting was still miserably little. Apart from the information that he was an illegitimate son of the Mengs, which was already known by the public, the rest of the information about him was unknown.
Now, they have seen that the boy looked exactly like the one in Yan Sui's photo. Meng Ting was young, well-behaved, gentle, and adorable; however, it was really quite difficult believing that Yan Sui would like this kind of sincere youth. Not that Meng Ting's character was not good; rather, his character was really not compatible with Yan Sui's.
"How are they incompatible? Our Sister-in-Law's very good," Zhen Han suddenly rebuked Rong Nan's slightly euphemistic statement at once. He could not tolerate outsiders who were saying that Meng Ting was not compatible with him. He did not like it at all.
He swept his eyes on Rong Nan. He also did not want to pursue what kind of feelings he had when saying those words. After he finished telling him off, he continued working on what he was doing—cleaning the plates. This was already the third time that he washed them. At this moment, he was hesitating whether he should wash them for the fourth time or not.
"It's not that he isn't good. It's just that, in the last few years, it's been hard for my Senior. And now, he even has a childish…" He no longer continued speaking from here since Yan Sui had already led Meng Ting back.
Yan Sui ruffled Meng Ting's hair and there was no need to say more about what his pampering meant. What was even more difficult to ignore were his chuckles. It was quite rare for him to laugh like this in front of others, but when facing Meng Ting, this was his common expression.
If you really felt sorry for Yan Sui for all these hard years, then you should now feel happy for him.
Throughout one's lifetime, it is not easy finding someone who would want you to smile from the bottom of their heart. Obviously, Yan Sui was lucky. At the most appropriate time, he met someone who could bring him a smile.
"Boss Yan, Sister-in-Law, come here quick. We'll have a barbeque today and everyone has to help." Gu Lang said loudly. The moment Meng Ting looked up, he grinned once again and said, "Sister-in-Law, you'll be an exception. What do you want to eat? Boss Yan will grill it for you."
"Will it be difficult? I want to grill for Yan Sui, too."
Meng Ting swept his gaze around. He did not know if he could do it well since he was clumsy.
"It's not difficult." Gu Lang resisted his heart's urge. He found that Meng Ting was more temperate than Yan Sui, but he was so sincere that he did not know that what he had said stabbed someone else's feelings.
There was no one who wanted to grill for his meals. Gu Lang tucked his weeping little heart under his clothes, and continued to say, "The ingredients have been washed, use the strings…"
"Hmm?" Meng Ting listened earnestly, but realized that Gu Lang suddenly stopped talking, so he was slightly puzzled.
When Gu Lang went against Yan Sui's gaze, his body became stiff in an instant. He muttered, "Boss Yan knows, he'll teach you."
After he said this, Yan Sui finally tore his gaze away from him. Gu Lang turned around. His face was wrinkled and looked like he was about to cry. He did not want to be Yan Sui's target in the future. He still wanted to take advantage of his youth and have a good time.
When he heard this, there was some delight in Meng Ting's face. He looked back at Yan Sui, then whispered, "Will you teach me?"
"I'll teach you," Yan Sui said as he pulled Meng Ting and walked over to the edge of the sink. After all, they played outside for a moment, so it was quite necessary for them to wash their hands.
Meng Ting himself had not been able to move yet when Yan Sui skillfully rolled up his sleeves. Meng Ting looked up at Yan Sui, stood still obediently, and let Yan Sui help him.
After both of his sleeves were rolled up, Yan Sui turned the faucet on first, then he pulled Meng Ting's hands and placed them under the water. He rubbed and kneaded them, then poured some liquid soap. Meng Ting did not move disorderly. Yan Sui quickly helped him wash his hands clean, then he took his handkerchief out and wiped them dry.
And so, in a short while, he was also able to wash his own hands. Meng Ting then grabbed the handkerchief from him and said, "I'll help you."
He said then bowed his head to help Yan Sui wipe his hands dry. After that, he handled the handkerchief with care and kept it in his pocket, then he said, "When we get back home, I'll help you wash it."
"Okay."
Yan Sui could feel Meng Ting's desire to repay him for his kindness. This felt warm and special. He could not refuse it at all.
The people around could not bear looking at them anymore, so they went ahead and washed their own hands. They had been oppressed once again. It was indeed too cruel.
Yan Sui taught Meng Ting how to string together some vegetable ingredients. After that, he smeared some sauce on the skewers and placed them on the barbecue grill. Yan Sui was not very skillful with it, but he was somewhat knowledgeable. He taught Meng Ting mainly on how to string the ingredients together.
On the other side, they also specially invited chefs to handle their meals. They started preparing the roast suckling pig in the morning and also some seafood. The aroma wafted in the air. Even those who were not hungry should be hungry. Moreover, they had a lot of fun today, so it was natural that they were hungry right now.
Gu Lang took a few people in front of the villa and assembled a long table on the sand to accommodate everyone. After that, he wiped the tables and the stools. He arranged the plates, knives, forks and wine glasses and also various kinds of fruit on the table. Those foods that were already roasted well were served on the table, and then the steaming hot roasted suckling pig.
"Oh my, oh my, how can we make it in time?"
Zhen Han definitely did not care about his image. If anyone dares messing around and spill gravy before him, he would pick a fight with them.
They wanted to be carefree when they were together. Who cares about image?
The chefs took the assistants and asked help in carrying the roast suckling pig down. With all the trouble, the ingredients that were extremely heavy were finally strung together under everyone's efforts. The one who was in charge of roasting, also nicely roasted two full plates.
"Come and have a seat. Let's eat first while they're roasting."
After Yan Sui heard this, he took Meng Ting to the edge of the sink to wash his hands again, then they came over.
There was only a little light on the horizon, but its brightness was still enough to see people clearly. Then, Gu Lang pressed a switch and the sandy shore lightened up.
Everyone came over and sat down. Yan Sui swept his gaze away, then said, "Eat."
Fortunately, they had no wine in their mouths; otherwise, they would have had the urge to spit it out. Even if it was just a small expression of his goodwill, he should also say something different. What's with this 'eat?'
Naturally, this was an unspoken criticism in other people's hearts, but Meng Ting was very happy. He was already craving for food since he did not eat anything earlier.
Yan Sui looked at Meng Ting, and his voice was a little lower, "Eat."
"Yeah, you eat, too."
Everyone was hungry, too. After the couple began to eat, they began to eat as well. Once in a while, they would bow their heads to talk, but it was still joyous and harmonious.
"Boss Yan, I offer politely this drink to you and Sister-in-Law, may you live a long and happy life together."
"Right, may you live a long and happy life together!"
Shi He took the lead and the surrounding crowd roared of laughter. He opened a bottle and poured the wine. There were all kinds of hubbub. They would not let Yan Sui slip away if he did not get drunk.
Shi He, you're a good man!
How many sceneries did Yan Sui destroy before? This opportunity was hard to come by, could they still make it back?
Yan Sui was mentally prepared before he came here. He raised his wine glass and swayed it gently, "Meng Ting is still young, no alcohol for him today. He'll just drink some fruit juice."
Yan Sui's shamelessness was really no match under the sky. Almost everyone had this sentence in their hearts. Especially since he was shamelessly serious and dignified. They never thought that this young wife could be useful like this.
Meng Ting bit on a piece of meat, his cheeks moved and moved, and he looked around in circles, finally falling back on Yan Sui. His heart and eyes were filled with admiration. His alcohol tolerance was particularly low and Yan Sui knew it without even asking him. He was really amazing.
"Little Sister-in-Law can't drink. Boss Yan, you have to drink."
Shi He received all kinds of gazes from the others. He spoke in behalf of the vast majority.
Yan Sui gazed away and gave Meng Ting a chopstick of green vegetable salad first, "You need to eat vegetables, too."
"Okay," When Meng Ting heard him say this, he immediately forked up a chopstick of vegetables and stuffed it in his mouth. After that, he gave Yan Sui a sweet smile.
Right after that, Yan Sui's countenance eased up a bit. He turned to look at Shi He, then lifted a wine glass, and tried his best to drink a mouthful of red wine.
"Great!"
"This Sister-in-Law is really capable."
Shi He almost lost, but Meng Ting's smile made Yan Sui drink willingly.
Meng Ting failed to understand why he said he was capable, so he looked and tried remembering where he could be competent, and yet, he still picked up a piece of meat, "You have to eat, too. It's not good to drink too much wine all at once."
"Okay," Yan Sui put down his wine glass and wanted to fork a bit of meat. The fork that Meng Ting had still had not left yet and forked up a piece of meat once again. He then took it to Yan Sui's mouth. Yan Sui did not hesitate to open his mouth and bite it.
"This meat is tender and quite tasty."
In Meng Ting's opinion, sharing delicious food with Yan Sui was absolutely important and necessary in his 'being good to Yan Sui.' After all, he was too slow-witted to think of good things for Yan Sui by himself. There would be too few good things that he could do, so he must accomplish what he had already thought of.
"It's tasty." Yan Sui nodded. There was some smiling expression in his eyes.
Compared to Meng Ting's hesitation in feeding him with cake last time, it was obvious that Meng Ting must have been more comfortable now.
"Master Han, will you feed me once, too?" Gu Lang bumped himself against Zhen Han, who was beside him. He was really stirred up by this couple.
Zhen Han barely swallowed a piece of meat. He turned around and gave two words to Gu Lang, "Get lost."
Gu Lang dared to touch and try the spoon that he had been using for eating?
Being stirred up too much, Gu Lang feebly turned to his side; however, Zhong Ming, who was beside him, was also not in the mood to greet him. He was more interested in getting Yan Sui drunk and he was thinking hard about what auspicious words he could say.
After this glass of wine, the atmosphere brightened up completely. Everyone sat while eating, then stood while eating, and walked while eating. In the distance, the sound of the waves crashing was not as lively as this scene of bustle and excitement.
Yan Sui had drunk at least two bottles of red wine, yet he was still as steady as Mount Tai, and his face remained unchanged. It seemed as if his drinking capacity was like a bottomless pit. On the contrary, those few, who were hooting fiercely the most since the beginning, were now somewhat staggering as they stood up.
From the beginning until the end, the ones who really ate the barbecue were only Meng Ting and Zhen Han, as well as Yan sui, who Meng Ting never forgot to feed. Those two were foodies. The first one was a man who had a little wife to take care of and the last one was exceptionally eye-catching.
They laughed, made a noise, drank, and had fun all along until around ten in the evening. Even eating champion, Meng Ting, could not eat anymore. He was really overfed.
Furthermore, this barbecue stuff was mainly an interesting process, but eating too much was not good for their health. In the back, Yan Sui asked the chef to cook a small bowl of noodles for Meng Ting, according to his previous request to add a little bit of spiciness in it.
After Meng Ting finished eating, his mood rating had soared once again. Not only was he smiling at Yan Sui, he would also play with him once in a while. Yan Sui also responded with a smile.
They were Yan Sui's friends. Even though they were not his friends yet, in the end, they were different from strangers. This was what Meng Ting realized tonight.
However, the party did not end here. They had not reached the peak of their daily programme yet.
"Go back?" Gu Lang immediately raised his voice as he looked at the extremely unfathomable Yan Sui closely. Nevertheless, this is a party where you took Sister-in-Law to meet everyone, this isn't like the parties we had in the past where we settle the accounts, why do you want to beat everyone up before you let them off?
"You don't want to make me do a roll call, everyone stand up."
After Yan Sui said this, all kinds of noises disappeared. One by one, they stood in a row and pitifully looked at Yan Sui, then gave Meng Ting, who remained calm and collected, a meaningful glance. Dear Sister-in-Law, please save us.
Unfortunately, the frequency band of Meng Ting's brainwaves was too strange to receive requests from them.
Three seconds later, nobody could stand Yan Sui's colder look anymore. Each and everyone stood up obediently, including some of those who were often absent and would run away by going overseas. It was an unexpected calamity. They could just watch the excitement in the Moments, why bother coming back!
However, Yan Sui was really dead earnest about this. They had been friends since childhood. It was impossible for him to see them walk in the crooked ways. Some of the programmes that were often found in this party would play a role in supervising and urging them.
Yan Sui's standard to not beating people up was actually very low. They must absolutely not take their chances on pornography, gambling, and drug abuse, in the same way as fighting and brawling and street racing that could injure people. Their lives were too good and were too pampered in their families. Sometimes, this party would give them an illusion of omnipotence and they desired to seek excitement in this party.
Yan Sui was responsible for letting them understand what one of the costs would be after the excitement.
"I was street racing with others abroad last month, but we were on a mountain road. There was no one and nobody got arrested, too."
Even if the circumstances were not that serious, it was inevitable that they exchange blows with Yan Sui, so they cleared out the venue very quickly.
Feng Qing also thought through about it. A trip back home without feeling Yan Sui's fist was not perfect at all. Besides, come on, he had practiced a lot for the past two years abroad. Who would beat up who still had not been decided yet.
However, Yan Sui was really difficult to deal with. With his skill, even the military elite might not be able to hit him. In particular, he still knew quite well how far he should go and when he should stop. This would only make them feel the pain and would not really injure them at all.
An incessant 'ouch' came through. The listeners shed a tear and felt deeply hurt when they heard it. The livers and hearts of those who were standing in line at the back were also trembling.
"What are they doing?" Meng Ting stood on one side and looked at them for a long time, before he asked Zhen Han, who was beside him, this question.
"Yan Sui's teaching them a lesson. It's a daily agenda in our party. You must get used to it. From childhood until we've grown up, it's been like this."
Zhen Han put his hands in the pockets of his pants. With his typical look, he thought it over once again and said, "Look, this is Yan Sui." He did not say anything bad about Yan Sui. All he said was the real and irrefutable truth.
However, when he turned his head, Meng Ting had been long gone and he was already beside Yan Sui.
"I want to help you fight."
"Pffttt!"
It was very quiet all around them. When Meng Ting said this in a low voice, those who heard what he said laughed.
"Ha ha ha…."
Gee, how could this little sister-in-law be so cute. He thought he was helping Yan Sui pick vegetables. Did he really think he could help Yan Sui when he said that he could handle it?
However, what made them even more surprised was that Yan Sui actually nodded. What was he thinking now?
The next one was Shi He. He was totally at a loss, "Why do you want to do it?"
Meng Ting took off his long coat and looked at Shi He, "I want to help Yan Sui. You'll fight with me."
"This…how could this be possible?"
Shi He did not think that it was good to change his opponent into Meng Ting. He had been getting along with Yan Sui for a long time, he had a lot of justifying. Compared to Meng Ting, it was obvious that Meng Ting did not have any fault. If he really hurt the boy, Yan Sui would put him in trouble for sure.
"It's okay." Yan Sui gently patted Meng Ting's shoulder, then he retreated with leisurely steps.
Shi He thought about it for a little while, and only then was he able to digest Yan Sui's 'It's okay' remark. He grinned at Meng Ting and said, "I'll give…"
He had not finished his words yet when Meng Ting already started. He threw a kick efficiently, and from this kick, he could see right away that Meng Ting was not someone who did not know anything.
Shi He moved to his side to dodge Meng Ting's kick, but Meng Ting began throwing a fist at him. The blow from his fist brushed against Shi He's face and because of this, Shi He's vigilance sharply rose. Meng Ting really did not need him to give way. When he got distracted, Meng Ting's kick almost landed on his back.
However, he did not suffer from the kick. It was not like Shi He dodged it; rather, it was Meng Ting who gave in, "I'm your Sister-in-Law, so I'll give ground to you."
"But it's only been three moves."
"Wooohooo…!"
Meng Ting's words garnered him a unanimous applause on the spot, although this applause sounded like it was drawn out from madness.
After Meng Ting said this, he did not show anymore mercy. He twisted Shi He's hand behind his back, then he carried the burly man on his shoulder in a rush. After this? he stood up and threw the man to the sandy beach. He threw Shi He another kick, while Shi He dodged it by rolling away. Meng Ting waited for him to stand up, and only then did he face the other squarely.
It was quite obvious that Shi He was not Meng Ting's opponent. Another three or five moves later, Shi He got plunged to the ground once again. However, this time, he did not have the strength to get up anymore.
Meng Ting measured him up with his eyes carefully, then clapped his hands, and turned around looking for Yan Sui. A clear and moving smile appeared on his expressionless face. He waved his hand and said, "Yan Sui, I won."
A little smile bloomed on Yan Sui's face, then he nodded.
"Oh, my God!"
Gu Lang exclaimed once again. Meng Ting never raised his hands to strike. He had never seen anyone being able to possess such a good skill. However, seeing Yan Sui's unperturbed looked, he must have been aware of it ever since, and yet, he completely hid this truth.
In fact, Yan Sui only knew that Meng Ting's fighting skill was not bad, but he did not know that it would be pretty good like this—even better than Shi He's. He handled the whole fight as if he was a butcher handling his cleaver with ease.
Zhen Han also got the same reaction. He thought for once that his evaluation of Meng Ting for being 'weak' could be scrapped out. He was actually on par with Yan Sui's 'savageness.'
Could it be that, from now on, this party would change into joint doubles of his elder brother and his sister-in-law?
However, they had to admit that, after discovering this, they had a better perception of Meng Ting. At least he was compatible enough with Yan Sui in terms of military force.
Meng Ting helped Yan Sui fight in two more rounds, then Yan Sui asked him to come back right away.
There were also true aces in this group. Moreover, Meng Ting was more adept at close combat. Seeing his wife keep close with another man, Yan Sui did not feel good at all. Therefore, after summing up the aforementioned reasons, Yan Sui handled it all by himself once again.
Meng Ting backed down obediently. He completely thought that Yan Sui's hand might have been itchy, so he wanted to beat someone up.
When he came back, Gu Lang slightly kissed up to him by bringing him a chair. Meng Ting looked at it for a while, then he sat down. After that, he watched Yan Sui's fight earnestly.
It did not take long when his face slightly blushed with excitement. His Yan Sui was very fierce!
Every time Yan Sui strikes and flips someone over, Meng Ting would take the lead to give him a warm applause. This extremely serious programme for 'settling the accounts' instantly became filled with joy.
"How did you get acquainted with Senior?" Meng Ting did not know when Rong Nan sat beside him and asked this question casually.
Meng Ting turned to look at Rong Nan and thought about it for a while. It was only then did he remember who Rong Nan was. He was the only one who was not willing to call him 'sister-in-law,' Yan Sui's university junior.
"It just so happens that I got acquainted with him." Meng Ting turned around as he said these words, then turned back once again, and continued watching Yan Sui. However, this time, he did not look at him with that kind of proud look; rather, he looked at him with some vigilance. Someone really wanted to grab his 'big white steamed bun' Yan Sui.
"Senior seems to like you very much." Rong Nan did not mind Meng Ting's slightly perfunctory reply at all. He said it once again.
"Yan Sui likes me, I like him, too." It was definitely not what it looked like.
Meng Ting turned to say this earnestly to Rong Nan. After that, he pondered over it for a while, then he continued speaking, "Yan Sui and I are already married. You better not have feelings for him. What's that saying? 'There are plenty more fish in the sea.' You should go and like somebody else. Yeah, that's right."
This was the longest response that Meng Ting had ever given to a stranger tonight, and his words were filled with sincerity, but Rong Nan, however, suddenly had an embarrassed look because he got exposed. This was not in least bit unexpected. Meng Ting did not say something wrong as well. He once, perhaps, even up until now, held some thoughts for Yan Sui. Perhaps, one could say that he was keeping his hopes high.
He once believed that it was impossible for Yan Sui to accept anyone, which naturally included him, and he did not dare to face the possibility of some consequences later on after getting exposed; but now, he could see that Yan Sui treated someone else well, and those thoughts that he could put down before, had sprung up again.
Yan Sui could like people, then why could it not be him?
Zhen Han suddenly patted Rong Nan's shoulder, "Gu Lang is calling for you."
Rong Nan, who was forced back to reality got a little confused, he stood up and left. Although the truth was, Gu Lang was not really looking for him. It was just that Zhen Han sees Rong Nan as an eyesore and he did not want him to get in Meng Ting's way as well. He deliberately said it so as to make Rong Nan go away.
Zhen Han looked down at that empty seat for a while, yet he did not want to sit down, so he just stood there.
"Cousin, did I say anything wrong?" Meng Ting asked as he looked at Zhen Han. He pondered over his words for a while, but he could not find anything wrong with it, "Yan Sui's already married, so it's not good for him to like Yan Sui."
"You didn't say anything wrong." Zhen Han responded and laughed at Meng Ting. Hmm, that 'simple and easy to deceive' label should be removed as well, and he appears to know better than anyone else. Even Rong Nan can't finish pulling off his trick in front of Meng Ting at all. He got totally defeated.
His Little Sister-In-Law's fighting strength was surprisingly astonishing!
"There'd always be some who'd overestimate themselves." For a long time before, he could never make Yan Sui treat him like that. Now that Yan Sui already had someone he liked, there were some people who began to feel unreconciled about this again. Was that not overestimating themselves?
Yan Sui walked back with deliberate steps, and it took a long time for Zhen Han to consciously get out of the way.
Yan Sui grabbed the blazer on Meng Ting's legs. He draped it around Meng Ting's shoulders, then he straightened his back and said, "We should go back inside to sleep."
"Okay."
Meng Ting nodded. He raised his hand and placed it on Yan Sui's outstretched palm. Yan Sui pulled him up and led him back to their room.
"Yan Sui, you're so awesome."
At the corner that everyone could not see, Meng Ting leaned up and pecked on Yan Sui's cheek that was too fast for anyone to notice.
Yan Sui looked at Meng Ting, then continued leading him back to their room, and closed the door. Meng Ting reached out to turn on the light, but before his hand could even reach the switch, his chin was suddenly lifted up. After that, he was stopped by a kiss.
