Chapter 361: Chapter 361 - Su Canye

After his shower, Xiao Luo laid down in bed, and his mind was flooded with conflicted thoughts. He felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart, and he wasn’t sure if it had anything to do with that first night that he shared with Su Li. The scenes from that sensual night kept playing in his mind—from the sofa in the living room to the bed in the master bedroom, he remembered everything vividly, just like it had only happened the day before.

…

…

Early the next morning, Su Xiaobei came knocking on his front door, right on the clock, calling him for breakfast.

He opened the door and saw his little princess, Su Xiaobei, smiling brightly and looking charming in her adorable outfit.

Su Xiaobei was with someone else—behind her, stood a young man who Xiao Luo was not familiar with. His hair was dyed an electric yellow, and he wore ear piercings. He was decked in a black leather jacket that had its shoulders adorned with intimidating spiked studs. He had somewhat effeminate features with smooth fair skin, and his eyes were accentuated with eyeliner, but he had a rascally edge in the way he dressed and carried himself, he would certainly stand out in a crowd.

“Are you Xiao Luo?” the young man asked, looking disinterested and standing with his left hand in his front pocket.

“Yes, and you are?” Xiao Luo responded.

The boy rolled his eyes and sneered, “What?! You don’t even know who I am, didn’t you just marry my sister? Your brain must’ve short-circuited…”

“You are Su Canye?” Xiao Luo recalled Su Li mentioning his brother’s name when he went with Su Li to her mother’s house.

“Huh, looks like your eyes are still okay after all!”

Su Canye was lolling his head around as he looked at Xiao Luo, giving the impression that he’d rather be somewhere else. Then, he frowned after taking a good look at Xiao Luo and said, “You don’t look that great, and I don’t see that your temperament is any better than mine. I just wonder why my sister ever chose you… Oh, well, at least you’re better than that scum, Yang Hongzhi.”

Was that a compliment?

Xiao Luo didn’t know what to make of it. No matter how he looked at Su Canye, all he saw was an arrogant little lout standing right there in front of him.

“So, what are you good at anyways?”

Su Canye asked curiously out of the blue. “Clubbing? Car racing? Kendo?”

As he asked Xiao Luo the question, he suddenly got himself in a spritely and exciting mood, dancing around and making gestures.

Xiao Luo shook his head. “No!”

Even if he was into any of those pastimes, he would have still said no as Su Canye just wasn’t the type of person he wanted to associate himself with.

Su Canye immediately frowned in disappointment, shaking his head as he clicked his tongue. “Tsk… looks like you and I don’t belong in the same circle. Shouldn’t you take the initiative to have some common interests with your little brother-in-law? I’d thought that since you married my sister, you could’ve said yes. And, even if you didn’t know of them, you could go learn from somewhere,” he lamented, “by the way, don’t think too highly of yourself; I wouldn’t even have bothered to talk to you if it wasn’t because my sister told me to get acquainted.”

“Uncle, don’t say that. Daddy knows how to do many things!”

Su Xiaobei was perturbed. She immediately raised her head, pouting her lips, and spoke up for Xiao Luo.

“Little princess, his face tells me that he’s unpolished, just a common person. He doesn’t belong in our social circles and only knows how to hump my sister.” Su Canye squatted down next to Su Xiaobei, and he spoke a little too candidly for Xiao Luo’s comfort.

Hump his sister???

What the @#$%…

Xiao Luo’s immediate reaction was to cover Su Xiaobei’s ears, but it was too late. He almost had the urge to give Su Canye a kick up his behind. This youngster was exactly like Zhang Dashan, bold enough to say just anything.

…

…

The moment they arrived at Su Li’s apartment, Aunt Lee had already laid breakfast on the table.

“Sis, the brother-in-law you got me doesn’t fit in my circle. I don’t want to be embarrassed, so it’ll be impossible to get along with him. I think we’re better off doing our own stuff and not get into each other’s way.” Su Canye was blabbering aloud as soon as he walked through the door.

Su Li blushed as she had not wanted Xiao Lo to know that she had instructed Su Canye to get acquainted with him. She glared angrily at her brother and said, “What are you babbling about so early in the morning? I take it that you do not want your pocket money for this month?”

That silenced Sun Canye immediately, and his whole demeanor changed as he meekly found himself a seat and began eating breakfast without saying another word.

Xiao Luo followed from behind carrying Su Xiaobei, and he placed her in her high chair securely then sat down beside her.

He looked up at Su Li and smiled. “Oh, thanks for the clothes.”

Su Li glanced at him impassively. “No need for that,” she said, then immediately changed the subject of conversation, “hurry up and dig in. I have work to do after breakfast. I’m leaving Xiaobei with you both today.”

“We… you mean, the both of us? Sis, are you out of your mind? I don’t know how to take care of children, and besides, I have Kendo training to attend later. I don’t have time,” Su Canye said, frantically coming out of his silence.

“I only need daddy to take care of me, I don’t need my uncle.” Su Xiaobei retorted as she slurped down a spoonful of congee, splotching the sides of her mouth. Since Su Canye showed a reluctance to accompany her, she struck back immediately by saying that she didn’t need him to keep her company.

Su Li fumed, showing her displeasure at Su Canye and said, “There’s no room for discussion. I don’t care whatever you have, just put them all aside. Besides, don’t think that I don’t know why you are attending Kendo classes. You’re only after those perverted things… I’m ashamed to even say it out loud.”

“What perverted things? Aren’t I searching for a sister-in-law for you? This is a serious business, okay? Fine, I’ll agree to do it, alright? It’s just taking care of the little princess, isn’t it? But I have one condition,” Su Canye responded, extended his index finger to make his point.

“Speak.”

Su Li lowered her head and continued with breakfast, waiting to hear Su Canye’s demand.

“I lost my car in the last Wild Wolf Racing Championship. You need to ask Shen Qingyan to help me win it back,” Su Canye said.

Su Li immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks in exasperation, and she stared at him, trying hard to stay calm. “Canye, when are you going to learn! How many times has this happened?”

“Err… t-three times.”

Su Canye answered in a barely audible voice, and if he could have hidden his head under his collar, he would have.

“She had already helped you win it back two times previously. How could you have not learned your lesson? You actually went back to race again, just what were you thinking?”

Su Li was really riled up now. By the looks of it, this was the main reason why he came looking for her. Her friend Shen Qingyan’s was a top-class ace in car racing. With her excellent driving skills, she had managed to help her incompetent brother win back his sports car on two previous occasions.

“Sis, it stops at three times, I swear, and, as long as she helps me win it back this time, I will never race again,” Su Canye pleaded, clasping his hands in front of his bowed head to show his sincerity and seriousness.

“Don’t even think about it. You’ve already lost it away, so be it. And don’t think that I’ll give you the money to get a new one, you can take the subway or the public bus in the future.” Su Li refused to discuss any further and continued with her breakfast.

Xiao Luo acted like he didn’t hear anything at all, eating his own breakfast and interacting with Su Xiaobei between bites.

After Su Li ended the discussion, Xiao Luo asked, “Why do you need the both of us to take care of Bei Bei? I can handle it by myself.”

Su Li raised her head and looked askance at Xiao Luo with eyes that told him that she wasn’t going to explain, and he should accept her arrangement with a question.

Trying to score some brownie points with his sister, Su Canye immediately chided Xiao Luo, “What’s wrong with you? My sister’s wish is our command, why do you have so many questions? What, do you think you’re reading ‘One Hundred Thousand Why’?'” Of course, Su Canye was referring to that very popular compendium series of science books for children.
