Eight-thirty at night.
Su Yi took her home clothes and was about to take a shower when she received a call from Mu Ziyin.
"Third sister-in-law, do you have time now?" Mu Ziyan's voice sounded particularly lonely on the phone.
Su Yi subconsciously felt something was wrong, "What's wrong with you? Did you drink?"
"I want to chat with you, are you free?"
"Where are you?"
"At the Shangri-La Hotel."
She hesitated, "Where's Jiayi?"
"gone."
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something must have happened. He pursed his lips and said, "Come over now. I'm at the Sea Gate. When you get there, just enter the password. And you can ask someone to take you here. Don't drink and drive. Got it?"
"Yeah, I get it." The voice was muffled, and you could tell he was unhappy.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yi turned to Lan Fuchu who was looking at the iPad and said, "The youngest one is coming over."
"What?" He looked up.
"It seems to be related to Jiayi. He was drinking."
Lan Fuchu hesitated for a moment, then said with deep eyes: "Tell him not to come over, let's go over there."
Su Yi thought about it and felt that it made sense. It was no secret that the youngest brother was drunk. Although he was asked to let others send him off, who knew that he would listen to him.
Su Yi called Mu Ziyin's phone again, "Youngest, don't come over. Your third brother and I will go over to drink with you."
"Okay." Mu Ziyin responded, and turned to the person next to him and said, "Go and order some more wine."
"Boss, you've already drunk a lot."
"Stop talking nonsense." He scolded the man and said to Su Yi, "Third sister-in-law, I'm in the bar on the second floor of the Shangge Hotel. When you arrive, come directly to me, room 207."
"good."

"He drank a lot." Su Yi said to Lan Fuchu.
He nodded, stood up, took off his robe, revealing his strong and sexy chest, and said, "Let's go, I'll go change my clothes."
"Then I won't take a shower either?"
"Um."
After changing their clothes, they came down from upstairs, holding hands.
"What's going on with the youngest brother?" While driving, Lan Fuchu glanced at Su Yi and asked.
She shook her head, "I don't know, but it seemed like they were both at third base last night."
Hearing this, Lan Fuchu's expression did not change at all, "I knew it."
"You know?"
"He has no patience at all."
Su Yi glanced at him sideways, with an expression that said, "You're not much better either." "It seems like you're not much better either, are you?"
"… "
Su Yi continued, "When you first met me, you were so cold to me at first. I thought you had forgotten me, but I didn't expect you to hold such a grudge against me. Not only did you steal my bag, you also stole my ID card to forge a marriage certificate."
"..." He remained calm, "You threw away that bag yourself, I just picked it up."
"Tsk, didn't I ask you for it later? Did you give it to me? Not only did you not give it back to me, you even threatened me, saying you would call the police to arrest me."
He looked like he was about to laugh, and seemed to think that he was quite childish and a little abnormal at that time. In order to make her come back to him on her own initiative, he did many things that were not in line with his character.
Looking at the night view outside the window, Su Yi said with emotion: "Maybe it is like this, love makes people blind and become unlike themselves."
Lan Fuchu glanced at her through the side mirror and said nothing.
*
Arrived at the hotel.
Lan Fuchu parked the car and got out with Su Yi.
The two entered the bar on the second floor. As soon as they opened the door of the private room, they were shocked by the mess inside.
There were fruit shells and wine bottles on the table and the floor. Mu Ziyin was sitting alone in the middle of the sofa, holding a bottle of foreign wine with his head tilted.
"Youngest." Su Yi walked over, deliberately lowering his voice when greeting, and wanted to take the bottle of wine in his arms.
Mu Ziyin dodged for a moment, looking at her with a dazed expression.
"Didn't you ask us to come drink? Why did you drink so much by yourself? And it was all such strong liquor. Aren't you afraid of having a headache when you wake up tomorrow after drinking so much?" Su Yi spoke half-jokingly with a lazy smile.
He reeked of alcohol, he must have drunk a lot.
After hearing Su Yi's words, Mu Ziyin seemed a little moved. He opened his arms and wanted to hug Su Yi.
But in a second, Su Yi was pulled away by Lan Fuchu. Mu Ziyin hugged nothing and looked at Lan Fuchu pitifully, "Third brother..."
She curled her lips and hugged Lan Fuchu, "Baby, I feel sad..."
“…” Lan Fuchu’s face was filled with black lines.
Mu Ziyin hugged Lan Fuchu tightly and murmured, "Third brother, do you think I am that bad?"
"Yes." Lan Fuchu answered honestly.
Su Yi: “…”
Mu Ziyin: “…”
After being speechless, he seemed to not know what to say, and his expression was a little hurt.
Su Yi complained in his heart: Damn, how can this be called comfort? This is clearly called a blow.
Unable to bear it any longer, she pulled Lan Fuchu away and said, "Hey, how can you talk like that? Let me do it. Sit a little further away."
"Only when you are in danger can you survive." Lan Fuchu said lightly.
Su Yi + Mu Ziyin: "..."
The problem is that Mu Ziyin doesn't want to die. He just wants his smile back, not to be free.
"Youngest, your third brother can't speak, so ignore him and talk to your third sister-in-law. What happened to you?" Su Yi softened his voice and asked carefully, as if he was afraid that if he spoke too harshly, Mu Ziyin would vomit blood and die on the spot.
"The smile is gone..." Mu Ziyin's mouth sank, and just by looking at his expression, you can tell how sad he is.
Su Yi wanted to touch his head, but Lan Fuchu glared at her, so she gave up and smiled lovingly like an aunt, "Why did she leave?"
"I don't know. She didn't say anything. I went back to the hotel and couldn't find her."
"Didn't I leave you a note or a text message or something?"
Mu Ziyin shook his head, his expression gloomy, "My phone is turned off, Third Sister-in-law, do you think Xiaoxiao really hates me that much?"
"That's definitely not the case." She wasn't lying to the youngest. She could see that Jiayi didn't dislike Mu Ziyin. Maybe, perhaps, she had other concerns in her mind. "Could there be other problems?"
"what is the problem?"
Su Yi thought for a moment, then looked up at Mu Ziyin, "Youngest, Third Sister-in-law wants to ask you a few questions first."
Mu Ziyin looked at her, meaning for her to continue.
Su Yi asked: "If, I mean if, if Jiayi comes back to you, can you forget all the unpleasantness with her in the past and accept her again?"
Mu Ziyin nodded without even thinking, "Okay."
"What if she is no longer the Ying Xiaoxiao of the past? She is no longer the gentle Ying Xiaoxiao who tolerates you in everything. Are you willing to tolerate her shortcomings and bad temper?"
Mu Ziyin thought deeply for a moment, "I don't know. Before I started over with her, I didn't know what her true personality was like."
"So despite this, you're not willing to give up, right?"
"Yes." He answered without hesitation.
Su Yi was shocked for a moment, then smiled, "Since you can accept this, then why are you still struggling here?"
"What do you mean?" Mu Ziyin didn't understand Su Yi's words.
Su Yi said with a smile: "Since you must have her no matter what, her leaving today is just a small setback."
As she spoke, she glanced at Lan Fuchu, raised her finger and pointed at him, "Do you know how long this person has been waiting?"
Mu Ziyan followed her gaze and glanced at Lan Fuchu.
Su Yi stared at Lan Fuchu, deep love in his eyes, "Five years ago, I went abroad, and he even saw that I was in love on my social media, but he didn't give up. He was still... waiting for me to come back..."
Mu Ziyin listened to Su Yi's words and opened his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, looking at the sweet eyes between Su Yi and Lan Fuchu, he said nothing.
But he seemed to understand that nothing in this world is easy, including love. Since he is pursuing true love, what does the difficulty matter? As long as he can catch up, it is worth it.
But in the end, while Lan Fuchu was out answering the phone, Mu Ziyin still said what he wanted to say, "Third sister-in-law, what you said about you updating your relationship status on social media a few years ago, was it Christmas two years ago?"
Su Yi nodded, "Yeah, how did you know?"
Mu Ziyin's eyes became clear the moment he heard the answer, and he nodded, speaking slowly, "So that's how it is... Third sister-in-law, are you curious about how I knew that, right?"
It seems that at this point, most of the previous things have been revealed, but I know that there is one more thing, which is Su Yi’s car accident in the UK, which will be written later. I just have to wait for an opportunity.
