“Big brother.” Chen Xiao Cai pulled Chen Xiao Mi’s sleeve to get Chen Xiao Mi’s attention.
Chen Xiao Mi noticed the expression on Chen Xiao Cai’s face: “What’s wrong?”
“Mai told me that Lu Lin drank sugar water secretly.” Chen Xiao Cai whispered into Chen Xiao Mi’s ear enigmatically.
Chen Xiao Cai was very surprised when Chen Xiao Mai told him that Lu Lin offered him sugar water, the problem was that they did not have sugar at home, so he thought Lu Lin must have brought sugar when the villagers sent him here.
Chen Xiao Mai did not give Chen Xiao Cai any more information other than the sugar water was so good, it was the most delicious thing he had ever had.
Chen Xiao Cai was just an eight-year-old child, of course he was interested in the ‘tastiest thing’ Mai said, but he was too ‘cold’1baby tryna act like a tsundere lol to ask Lu Lin about the sugar water like he wanted too.
Lu Lin was already feeling much better when Chen Xiao Mi returned, he looked Chen Xiao Mi up and down. The host was a very quiet and reserved person, he always lowered his head when meeting someone, thus there was no memory of Chen Xiao Mi’s appearance in the host’s mind.
Based on the stories Lu Lin had heard about him, Lu Lin thought that this Chen Xiao Mi must be an ugly-looking man with very offensive features, but surprisingly, Chen Xiao Mi actually had a very attractive appearance, especially his dark eyes, so clear and sparkling. He really did not expect Chen Xiao Mi to be this cute.
‘A lie, if repeated often enough, will be accepted as truth. Chen Xiao Mi does look scary in the rumors, but look at him, he is a cute little boy.‘ Lu Lin thought.
The villagers brought Lu Lin to Chen Xiao Mi with two door boards, Chen Xiao Mi didn’t notice Lu Lin anymore after he wrapped some blankets on Lu Lin.
Lu Lin kept tossing and turning that night, it was his wedding night even though there was no ceremony, he couldn’t sleep and he couldn’t help but remember what happened to him in his last life.
Lu Lin was gay. Modern society is more inclusive but the LGBTQ+ community still has a long way to go in Country C.
Lu Lin kept his sexuality a secret since he got his job, he planned to find a partner and live a simple and peaceful life in the city. But something unexpected can happen at any time, a girl in the company had a crush on Lu Lin and wooed him for a long time, Lu Lin rejected her several times, but the girl was so persistent, Lu Lin’s attitude didn’t seem to bother her in the slightest, she still kept inviting Lu Lin to ‘date nights’.
Lu Lin had to tell the girl the truth about his sexuality, the girl left him alone, very surprised. And the next day Lu Lin was fired, his boss told him that they shouldn’t have people who might be a bad influence in the company.
Needless to say, that’s exactly what the girl did.
Lu Lin disdained arguing with the girl or the company, he left the company, then he returned to his hometown and took over Lu’s department store from his parents.
It wasn’t a big business, but Lu Lin could support himself with the job.
Chen Xiao Mi started cooking dinner not long after he returned, he asked Chen Xiao Cai to send Lu Lin a bowl of porridge and drumsticks.
Lu Lin’s eyes widened at the sight of the drumstick, his First Aunt joked about him being able to eat meat after marrying Chen Xiao Mi, but he did not expect it to be true.
Lu Lin devoured the drumstick even though it was very bland, Lu Lin thought he couldn’t blame Chen Xiao Mi for this, there was only salt as a seasoning in this house.
Chen Xiao Cai pouted when he saw the way Lu Lin devoured the drumstick: ‘You should at least stand on ceremony with me and ask if I have any meat to eat, but look at you, the way you eat, so rude.’
Chen Xiao Mi and Chen Xiao Cai washed the dishes together after everyone finished dinner, and everyone went to bed after that.
Soon Lu Lin heard Chen Xiao Mi snoring: ‘Yes, that’s for sure, he just married me as a means to help him waive that stupid tax, this is our wedding night, yet he’s there snoring!’
Lu Lin looked around the house under the dim moonlight: ‘This house is too shabby, there’s only one bedroom for the four of us, it’s so cramped.’
Then Lu Lin thought about Chen Xiao Mi, he was actually quite happy with Chen Xiao Mi’s appearance, he had been a virgin all his life, he was looking forward to this change in life. But obviously he knew he couldn’t hold onto his hopes for now, this Chen Xiao Mi only saw him as a tool for tax exemption.
There was also one other hard fact, Lu Lin had to deal with the third-wheel Chen Xiao Cai as well as the ‘four-wheel’ Chen Xiao Mai, especially Chen Xiao Cai, that kid looked very difficult to please.
With that being said, Lu Lin still thought the host shouldn’t have killed himself over this. ‘Your life is miserable in the Lu Family, why not just marry this Bio, I don’t think it will get any worse.’
Lu Lin started to feel sleepy as his thoughts went wild, and slowly he fell asleep.
T/N: lmaoo Lu Lin was hoping for a steamy night with the beauty. Unfortunately, his beauty sees him as a tax exemption tool. lighting a candle for our poor virgin ╥﹏╥
