Ch37.1 - Singing the Greatest Show (14) — Say something that makes me happy

“Go and invite the Second Master over,” Ye Su’an closed his eyes, “Just say I invited him over to talk.”

Chun Tao obeyed. Not long after, footsteps sounded, and He Changhuai lifted the curtain, “Boss Ye, how are you feeling?” 

“Second Master He…” Ye Su’an asked with difficulty, “Where did you find me?”

He Changhuai frowned and was also puzzled: “It’s strange, how did Boss Ye faint under the old tree? In this cold weather, fortunately, I found you in time, otherwise, it would be troublesome.”

Ye Su’an, “You only saw me unconscious under the tree?”

He Changhuai answered affirmatively and climbed into the carriage. He took the medicine bowl in his hand and fed him, “Naturally, could it be that Boss Ye didn’t just fainted there?” 

Just as Su An was about to speak, a spoonful of medicine was brought to his lips. He took a sip of it, and had another bad idea in his heart.

His long eyelashes hanging down on his face were fluttering, then tears fell down at the corner of his eyes.

The man panicked and hurriedly put down the medicine bowl, “What’s wrong?”

Su An wept silently, looking extremely vulnerable. Even though He Changhuai knew that he might be acting, he still felt a pain in his heart. He held Su An in his arms to comfort him, his movements were gentle, and he kissed his hair several times secretly with his lips, “Boss Ye, don’t cry. Just let me know if there’s anything.”

Boss Ye’s tears were really too powerful, and it was so easy to make He Changhuai feel guilty and regretful.

But to He Changhuai’s surprise, Su An shook his hand, then placed his own hands on the buttons of his shirt, unbuttoning them one by one.

He Changhuai’s ears blushed instantly, not knowing whether he should be surprised or shock, “Su An——”

With the two buttons down, Su An pulled his collar, revealing his neck and collarbones. His skin that was supposed to be pure and flawless was now covered with bruises and bite marks, a look of being severely ravaged. 

“Second Master,” Ye Su’an burst into tears and became numb, “I was…”

He Changhuai’s surprised expression froze on his face, but he kept it under control again, and said angrily: “Who had the audacity to do that!”

Ye Su’an was embarrassed, and a sad cry came from his throat.

When the word “bandit” came out, he couldn’t hold back his eyes turning red again.

They were brimming over with wisps of blood, and were drowning with hatred. However, Su An’s slightly ferocious look  became incomparably moving in He Changhuai’s eyes. He Changhuai eyes have long been revealed love, and he couldn’t help but feel the tenderness.

“How did the bandits come here?” He Changhuai asked softly, “Is Boss Ye sure?” 

“I’m sure,” Ye Su’an’s expression twisted, and he became emotional, “Second Master He, I beg you to help me find that crafty scoundrel! If you found him, I will be very grateful!”

Then call him an adulterer.

He Changhuai: “Boss Ye’s request, I, He, will do it. Boss Ye doesn’t have to worry about it. That kind of dog thing will die right away, and Boss Ye is clear as ice and clean as jade, which is true even now.”

Ye Su’an was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly, and tears trickled down again. 

He Changhuai’s voice gradually became cold, really because of Su An’s expression, he can’t wait to teach himself a lesson from last night, “Such people always owe some lessons. Don’t worry, Boss Ye, I will get justice for you.”

Ye Su’an wiped the tears from his face, “Second Master is willing to stand up for me, I am grateful.”

He Changhuai, “That’s what should be done, you don’t need thank me, Boss Ye.”

He changed his posture and held Su An in his arms, and whispered, “This is serious, Boss Ye, am I the only one who knows it now?” 

Su An nodded.

“Then don’t be afraid,” He Changhuai said. “Wait until that crafty scoundrel can’t speak anymore, no one in the world will know what kind of grievance Boss Ye has suffered. Boss Ye is still the same as before, there is no need to think about anything else, and there is no need to worry, just look forward.”

Su An’s wet long eyelashes trembled, “Thank you, Second Master. I understand.”

Hehe. 

…

For the next few days, Ye Su’an never dared to go out alone, and even in daytime, he honestly stayed in the carriage to rest.

He Changhuai was by Su An’s side all the time. He was graceful, funny and, more importantly, the bandits never appeared during the few days that He Changhuai accompanied Su An.

Because of the sense of security brought by He Changhuai, Su An gradually let go of his vigilance against He Changhuai and began to rely on him. The most obvious change was that he no longer avoids He Changhuai’s hand touching him. 

He Changhuai liked this kind of dependence very much, and he couldn’t help but have a smile on his face. Everyone under him could see his good mood, and this is considered rare.

However, only He Changhuai knew how much self-control he had to use to suppress the beast in his heart when facing Su An’s trusting gaze.

Wearing a suit and leather shoes, he was well-dressed and trusted by Su An. On the other hand, he kept reminiscing about the absurdity of that night, thinking about how wonderful his daughter-in-law was. The more Su An believes in him, the more he relies on him, the more the beast at the bottom of his heart wants to break out of its cage and unleash its nature.

Going all the way north, after another day or two, they happened to meet Jiang Zhengrong and his party who were returning. 

The merchants of the Jincheng Chamber of Commerce were exhausted, with two layers of dust falling on their coats. Jiang Zhengrong’s hands and face were clean, and when he raised his face, he made the big men around him look strange.

“Second Master He,” Jiang Zhengrong smiled politely, then he looked back and he frowned slightly with his long eyebrows, “Boss Ye? Why are you here too?”

The two teams mixed together and hid in a sheltered place. Su An brought a cup of tea to Jiang Zhengrong, “I also followed out to see how North Road is.”

“You want to do this business?” Jiang Zhengrong sighed and tried to hold his hand, “How come I’ve only been gone for a few days and you’ve made such a big decision.” 

Before Su An could dodge it, He Changhuai had already smiled and blocked Jiang Zhengrong’s hand, “President Jiang, just concentrate on the tea when you drink it.”

There was an undercurrent between the two men, but Su An was unaware of it. He slowly poured the tea and said slowly: “President Jiang came from the north, did you meet bandits along the way?”

President Jiang retracted his cold eyes and said with a smile: “To the north is the boundary controlled by others, and the road section is not as dangerous as from when you came.”

Su An was silent for a while, “Will President Jiang go back now?” 

Jiang Zhengrong nodded and said: “Go back.”

“Then I’ll go back with President Jiang,” Su An lowered his eyes, “I’ve been out for so long, and I’ve only caused trouble for Second Master He. I might as well go back and look at my theater, see how it is now.”

He Changhuai didn’t speak for a long time, waiting for Jiang Zhengrong to finish his cup of tea before he sneered, “Good.”

… 

After Su An and Jiang Zhengrong left.

He Changhuai quietly looked at the gradually distant backs of a group of people, his face expressionless.

His men were cautious: “Master, shall we also depart?”

“You take people forward,” He Changhuai slowly put on his black leather gloves for riding, “Bring a few of your own people and come back with me overnight.” 

Su An always did this to him.

When he needed him, he can’t wait to stick to his body and will give him all the tenderness and care. But when he didn’t need him anymore, he didn’t even want to say a word, and would just turn around and leave with others.

He Changhuai is a generous man.

But sometimes he can be petty.
