This time, Xing Biao couldn’t help it and kissed Su Mo on his face.

“Darling, I’ll love you and treasure you for my whole life.”

Zhu Wen’s face became red and then turned pale. He forced out a tight smile.

“Then I wish the conjugal love between the two of you would last forever.”

Others proposed a toast to them with red wine, while Zhu Wen poured a cup of white spirit in a 150-ml cup.

“Boss Zhu, let’s have a drink first. I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where are you doing your business now?”

Bai Hua came up to Zhu Wen, holding a glass of wine. Little Stammer came over hurriedly, and wanted to change Su Mo’s wine. Zhu Wen pushed Bai Hua away.

“Biao, we’ve known each other for so many years, and you are getting married today – I feel very happy for you. Since we’re all happy, we should drink it together.”

Before Little Stammer could reach out his hand, Zhu Wen gave him a stern look.

“What’s the matter with you?”

Biao stretched his arm and pushed Little Stammer behind him to protect him. The little child had been timid, and Zhu Wen’s scolding may frighten him.

“Boss Zhu, let my darling and I propose a toast to you.”

He took a look at Su Mo, ‘Is it okay for you? Would you be all right if you drink it?’

Su Mo smiled.

“I wish Boss Zhu a prosperous business and abundant fortunes.”

Isn’t it about drinking? Su Mo lifted up his neck, and drank up the 150-ml liquor without hesitation. He turned the cup downwards and smiled at Zhu Wen. See? I didn’t leave even one drop of liquor.

“Lawyer Su is a good drinker.”

Zhu Wen also drank it up. Xing Biao were used to drinking. He drank it up as well. He added some force on his hand and supported Su Mo. He feared that Su Mo would directly fall down within two or three steps. Su Mo was only good at studying. If he were to drink, he would probably drink beer only. He drank 150-ml white spirit just now, was he all right?

“Good things come in pairs. Lawyer Su, come on.”

Bai Hua came up to Zhu Wen.

“Boss Zhu, there are many guests waiting for them. They have to make a toast table by table. Let me drink with you. Come on, I’ll drink three cups first.”

Su Mo said “excuse me” and left. His feet stopped for a second, and Xing Biao hugged his waist immediately.

“Are you all right? That bastard, damn it.”

“I’m all right. I drank too fast.”

He took a deep breath. He could feel himself full of smell of alcohol.

“Tell me about what happened between you and him sometime later. You should be on your guard about this man. He’s the one who smiles at you while stabbing you in the back.”

“I’ll tell you all about it later. The bastard is full of wicked ideas. Why don’t you take a break? I’ll make a toast to guests by myself. There aren’t many tables left.”

“No need.”

Su Mo pushed Xing Biao away. He had also had a crazy youth. Who did not drink much in his late teens? There was too much of him to be known. If they drank slowly, he could easily drink up a bottle of white spirit of 50 ABV. He was drinking too fast just now.

As for the reason why he didn’t want to show that he was a good drinker? On such occasions, no one would advise him not to drink once he started drinking. He did not want to get embarrassed in front of so many people. It was not proper at all to get as drunk as a fiddler on his own wedding. Saving face was important.

Xing Biao was greatly surprised. Su Mo drank 150-ml white spirit in one breath, yet he was fine. His face didn’t go red and he was not out of breath. Five minutes later, he could even walk as usual – just as if he did not drink it. Such a talent! His wife got a wine belly.

Xing Biao was honey-mouthed, and he made a toast to every relatives of Su Mo’s, such as his big sister-in-law, youngest aunt, second uncle. He greeted and drank with them all. Therefore, Xing Biao also drank more than 500-ml white spirit. Su Mo drank 150-ml white spirit and a few glasses of red wine. They were both all right.

Coming back to their main table, Su Mo had no appetite at all. He selectively ate some vegetables. Xing Biao noticed that he was not in a good spirit and leaned closer to him.

“Is it too much for you? Do you want to go upstairs and take a rest?”

“No. I’m a little tired.”

He rubbed his face. His face stiffened as he smiled too much towards the guests. Even if he did not want to smile, he had to. It was quite hard and tiring.

Nine Fingers thought for a second, and slipped into the kitchen. He came out smiling, with a big bowl full of noodles in his hand.

It was placed with a thump in front of them.

“Brother Biao, Lawyer Su, there is a custom in our hometown for a newly-wed couple to eat one single-strand noodle. You may notice that the bowl is full of noodles, but in fact there is just one single-strand noodle. The chef cooked personally pulled the noodles, specially for you. This is called “spend one life together”. You two should each bite one end of the noodle and swallow it down. You can’t break it. It’s unlucky to break it.”

“What you said is wrong. This should be a kind of longevity noodle. I have never heard of a newly-wed couple eating noodles like this.”

Who were you fooling? Su Mo also knew a bit about local customs and practices, and this should be the way people eating longevity noodles.

“This is exactly what a newly-wed couple does in our hometown. Lawyer Su, if you don’t eat anything, Brother Biao would be worried about you. Even if you don’t like the food on this table, you could at least eat some noodles.”

Xing Biao picked up the noodle with a pair of chopsticks, and it was indeed a single-strand noodle with only two ends. The chef cook was not bad. He picked up one end and gave the chopsticks to Su Mo.

“Eat it. Forget about the custom. The meaning of the noodles is good anyway.”

He bit the other end of the noodle and began to swallow it. Su Mo looked at it and thought to himself, alright, he’ll eat it. Otherwise Xing Biao and his brothers wouldn’t let him go.

Two persons were to eat one bowl of noodles, and they must not break it – that was hard. The noodles in the bowl were slowly reducing. It was shorter and shorter. Xing Biao’s mouth was just 20cm away from Su Mo’s. Xing Biao’s eyes brightened and began to swallow the noodle quickly. They were closer and closer – 10cm, 5cm, 3cm…

Before Su Mo could realize that Xing Biao was up to something bad, Xing Biao already held Su Mo’s head, and had a greasy kiss with him while finishing the noodles.

Nine Fingers laughed out loud. This was exactly the secret of a single-strand noodle. The two people would get closer and closer while eating, and then they could kiss each other in the end.

Su Mo wanted to pour a bowl of soup directly above Nine Fingers’ head. Xing Biao’s brothers were just like him, up to anything vicious.

He pushed Xing Biao away fiercely, who was never too tired of embarrassing him and doing mischief with his brothers. He turned his head a bit, and unfortunately saw Zhu Wen, who was full of smile on his face. Su Mo raised his glass towards him as greeting.

“What happened between the two of you?”

“Back then, he proactively asked for my help as his business was failing. If one wanted to run a cabaret, he’ll need connections in both the underworld and the police. However, he didn’t have much of connections at that time, and there was often someone making trouble. So he cooperated with me and made money by borrowing my fists. These years, people all knew that I was protecting this cabaret so they wouldn’t make trouble. Gradually it prospered, and he went to develop other business, and he asked me to manage the cabaret. Naturally I will recruit and employ my own men. His money was locked up in stocks and he took the money from the cabaret to circulate. He did nothing and had left the cabaret to me alone for so many years, while I was the one who was running this place and making money. I thanked him for allowing me to join in partnership, and I made money because of it. However, it was unreasonable to endlessly withdraw money from the cabaret. Even if we had to split up the money, it was a 50-50 split. How should I run this place if he took all the money away? I had to put my own money into it, and it worked. Still he took it away as long as there was money in the account. I argued with him for a few times, and offered to buy his shares. Otherwise, I could quit and sell my shares to him. I could set up another cabaret by myself. He didn’t have enough money to buy my shares, neither did he want to sell his shares to me and quit. Therefore, we are having endless disputes and displeasure.”

“Get the accounts clear and sue him. I have my way of kicking him out.”

“Sure, I’ve been keeping my eye on the accounts. I just get upset every time he exposes my past sufferings. I thanked him for helping me to stand up, however, if it wasn’t for me and my men securing the cabaret, he would have been doomed long time ago. I am not to be blamed for this.”

“Let him be and leave him alone. Just collect evidence, prosecute him, and solve things in a legitimate way.”

“I knew my darling would help me.”

“Don’t sweet-talk me. It’s of no use. I’m not going to give you a discount on the lawyer fee anyway.”

“What’s mine is yours. It’s all about moving money from my pockets to yours.”

Xing Biao felt that he had found a true treasure. He had married the right one, who could help him on both his life and career. Whatever Su Mo was doing – drinking, eating, or talking to others – Xing Biao’s eyes were clung on him.

“You’ve been looking at me for a long time. All you can see is me. I’m gonna get stuck in your eyes and you can’t pull it out.”

Su Mo hit him with chopsticks. Xing Biao kept looking at him and he felt so uneasy – won’t he stop that?

“It’s okay if I cannot pull it out. You can stay in it forever and work as my eyes.”

Oh my! Despise him for his skittish flirting. Won’t he get a toothache for saying too much words like that?

“Stop looking at Su Mo, big brother. Hurry up, brothers are itchy to drink with you.”

Bai Hua dragged Xing Biao away. Su Mo saw Cui Xun – why did this guy sit so close to Little Stammer? He was so shy that he almost hid his head under the table.

However, someone came to propose a toast to Su Mo again, and stopped him from worrying about Little Stammer. He stood up, greeted and drank with the guest.

Damn it, marriage was so inhuman! He was so tired that he would die.

Well, it took everything for them to send away all the guests. They ate dumplings for supper. However, his brothers had been with the couple the whole time. They arrived at Xing Biao’s apartment and there was no outsider anymore.

Su Mo now felt relieved, but there were a roomful of men standing in the living room.

Wow, the wedding photos were so fucking brilliant. Their big brother was serving tea for Su Mo. He bent to pat Su Mo on his back, and looked so apple-polishing. Lawyer Su had a poker face and looked the other way, as if he didn’t want to talk to him. In another photo, one was being shy and the other was lowering his head. Was he being shy? He leaned on his chest. They were wearing two sets of clothing, one in black and the other in white. Wedding photos hung all over the house. In the living room, there were Su Mo’s individual photographs in small frames. You had to admit that Lawyer Su was so elegant, gentle, and distingue in his individual photographs. In the photo that occupied half of the wall, Lawyer Su held a white porcelain coffee cup with a book on his lap. He was about to drink the coffee, and raised his eyes. With just a little glimmer of smile, Lawyer Su was so good-looking that you couldn’t avert your eyes.

Tut tut tut, no wonder big brother loved Su Mo so much as if he was a priceless treasure. Who wouldn’t fall in love with such a Lawyer Su?

The wedding photo was nice, and they all wanted to take photos at the same studio when getting married.

“Look at their photos. They look so cool.”

“I heard that it took big brother a lot of efforts to coax Lawyer Su into taking the photographs.”

“Brother Biao is the boss, and Lawyer Su is the boss of the boss. Normally we shouldn’t make fun of him, but let’s try it today. Now that we’re not afraid of Lawyer Su bearing a grudge on us for a lifetime, let’s play tricks on them free from worries.”

Looking at their malevolent smile, Su Mo knew that the time was now – it’s about to start.

Who invented “playing tricks on the married couple at their chamber”? Take him out and shoot him between the eyes.

He didn’t see his books. He found his suitcases in the bedroom. When Xing Biao was talking loudly with this group of people, Su Mo only wished that he could take a bath and change, then put on his earphones and take a rest. But that was not possible – they had guests in the house.

The bright red quilt on the big bed annoyed Su Mo. He rubbed his head – such bright color would make him nervous and he could in no way rest well on this bed. It must have been Xing Biao’s doing. Such a simple-minded fool. What was he supposed to say?
