Although he is not a man who values friendship and loyalty, he will not easily play with other people's feelings. As for the people in the music house who are listening to the music and laughing, he knows what is going on and it is consensual.
His family is wealthy, his parents are in love, and he and Xiao Huang have been close friends for a long time. Although they have some disagreements occasionally, they have no impact on him. But what he said today touched his bottom line.
It's not that he can't compromise, but he hates being used like a tool. Years of friendship now seem to be nothing more than a show, and he has to weigh the pros and cons.
"Young Master, several new rice shops have opened in the capital, and they all charge one and a half copper coins less than the Shen family's rice shop." A shopkeeper reported.
Chen Tang heard the news just after he got home. He felt a little dizzy in front of his eyes. He pinched his nose and got out of the car and asked, "Come with me, tell me what happened."
Things went very simply. At the beginning, the Shen family cut off the supply from Yunlaike and did not allow other rice shops to supply. However, Yunlaike seemed to have already stored rice. He took advantage of the Shen family's restrictions and directly opened several rice shops. The quality of the rice grains was all top-grade.
"If we were to transport the rice from Jiangnan without any roads, it would take at least a month," Chen Tang asked. "How did he do that?"
"Strangely enough, he bought a large piece of wasteland dozens of miles outside the capital, and actually grew rice. This is unheard of!" said a shopkeeper. "Master, what should we do now?"
Chen Tang had a splitting headache and was trying to stand up by holding on to the table, but he suddenly felt dazed and his vision went black, and he lost consciousness. The last thing he saw was the others shouting in surprise.
He lost.
The loss was complete and clear.
I don’t know how long I was sinking in the darkness. When I regained consciousness, I felt an indescribable bitterness in my mouth, as if I had been fed medicine.
The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the lamp hanging on the head of the bed. The second time he saw it, he was about to jump out of bed, but the hand that reached out to him gently pushed him back down.
The person sitting at the head of his bed was none other than the extremely hideous man who had just defeated him.
"Why are you here?" Chen Tang was lying on the bed, but his hand touched the dagger under the pillow. If this guy dared to do anything bad to him, he would stab him, even better, to death. "Seeing me lying on the bed so powerless, you must be very proud."
"Well, the Shen family will be mine soon, and you will be mine too. I can do whatever I want to you. Of course I'm proud of it." Lin Su hooked his nose in an intimate manner, but he moved so fast that Chen Tang didn't have time to draw his dagger.
"Are you dreaming?" Chen Tang scoffed at his statement. "Even though I've lost temporarily, it doesn't mean I'll lose forever."
"If you want to keep losing, I can help you achieve it." Lin Su's words would be arrogant if they came from others, but it was natural for him.
Chen Tang didn't hesitate this time when he pulled out the dagger. He swung it out directly, but Lin Su grabbed the sheath and looked at it meaningfully. "You can't pierce it with the sheath, right?"
"It was a mistake this time." Chen Tang said stubbornly. Although he lost, Lin Su never took any shortcuts or used any secret tricks to hurt anyone. He accepted the defeat wholeheartedly.
"Thank you for your mistake," Lin Su gave him a way out. He took the dagger and put it aside. "God doesn't want to see you murder your husband."
Chen Tang really couldn't do anything to him. Now he didn't have the brains or energy to tease him back: "I asked you before, how did you get in?"
"My aunt let me in." Lin Su stroked his cheek and said, "Don't worry, it's legitimate and doesn't count as an affair."
"Steal you... um..." Chen Tang's pupils suddenly dilated. The soft touch on his lips was more unfamiliar than ever before, but the back of his head was lifted up, which made him feel closer than ever before.
He was kissing him, and when he realized this, Chen Tang could only hear the roar of his heart beside his ear. Although his hands and feet were weak, it was still easy for him to push him away.
But this unprecedented feeling was so novel and wonderful that he was not even aware of his arms around Lin Su's neck.
With a clang sound.
There was a sound of porcelain breaking, and when Chen Tang came back to his senses and turned his head to look, he happened to meet his mother's surprised gaze.
"Mom!" This was the first time Chen Tang was so flustered.
"Hey, don't get up!" Madam Shen wanted to step forward, but she covered her mouth and laughed in surprise, "So this is the person you were talking about before? Okay, mother will go make some medicine for you, stay put."
She had seen Lin Su's appearance before. At that time, as a friend, she just thought that she didn't know which family had such a handsome and elegant child. He was not inferior to her own Tang'er. Now, looking at him again, she was more and more satisfied.
This kid is finally reliable for once.
Mrs. Shen left. Shen Tang's breath was unstable. He looked up at Lin Su and quickly took his arm down.
Although Lin Su took the initiative in the previous incident, he not only did not resist but also responded! This means there is no way to hold him accountable.
"Have you mentioned me to your aunt before?" Lin Su asked with a smile as he looked at his wandering eyes.
Chen Tang pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, but still couldn't break the ambiguous atmosphere: "No, I mentioned Zi Yu, my mother misunderstood."
"You like Yun Ziyu and you kissed me. What do you like about him?" Lin Su pulled down his hand that was covering his face and asked, "Jingchen, what do you like about him?"
"Even if you know it, what does it matter?" Chen Tang found himself in a passive position whenever he faced this person. "Can you really learn it?"
"Why should I be like everyone else?" Lin Su wasn't angry that he liked Yun Ziyu, because that was before he came, but it was also in the past, and he had to help him turn the page. "Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it..."
"He has a kind nature, and even in the face of adversity, he remains steadfast," Chen Tang said calmly, his heart no longer beating as violently as it had just before. It was truly strange. "He's well-versed in poetry and prose. If he wins the top spot this time, he'll win three first prizes in a row and be admired by scholars all over the world..."
Lin Su leaned on the bed and looked at him carefully. He found that he might have been wrong. Although this richest man had a good impression of Yun Ziyu, it was far from the level of enlightenment.
In the original world line, their emotional collision occurred after Yun Hui entered the court as an official. Lin Su had thought that there might be some progress before that, but now it was really a pleasant surprise.
If possible, he certainly hopes that his lover's heart and eyes are filled with only him.
Chen Tang was talking in a rather tedious manner, and seemed to be going on and on. It was not that he liked to keep praising other people's strengths, but he found that even after he had said a lot of strengths, his heart remained as calm as before.
He felt that he liked Yun Ziyu, but was it really the kind of love he imagined?
"You've talked so much. Are you thirsty? Drink some water." Lin Su considerately poured him a glass of warm water.
Chen Tang stopped talking and glanced at Lin Su while drinking water: "You don't seem to mind?"
