Chapter 521: 484 Ring in the New Year with the first stick of incense, charge! (2 updates)

Lu Zhu embraced Lin Jiaojiao for quite a long time, so Tang Su and the others understood that the two knew each other.

That made sense. After all, everyone was from Beijing, and since the two of them were about the same age and mixed in the same circles, it would have been strange if they didn’t know each other.

The cable car sat four people at a time, so naturally, Lu Zhu and Lin Jiaojiao, being close friends, would want to ride together, along with the men by their sides.

The four of them boarded one cable car.

Neither Chen Duoduo nor Bai Simen needed a male companion. They agreed to ride together and even persuaded Sun Qing to join them. Three women plus Tang Su made just enough for one cable car.

However, the men weren’t allowed to do so, as the cable car operators insisted that two men and two women was the best arrangement.

The three women genuinely felt that the cable car operators must have been convinced by the men to agree with them, hence why they gave such an unconvincing reason.

Because there were so many people, and also since Bai Dingyang and the others considered their safety, the three women couldn’t refuse.

In the end, Tang Su gave Sun Qing a firm look, and so, Sun Qing and Tang Su rode together while Lu Han was responsible for watching Bai Dingxian.

The four of them took the second cable car.

The remaining one was naturally for Chen Duoduo and Bai Simen, along with brothers Bai Dingyang and Bai Dingkai.

It wasn’t until Chen Duoduo got on the car that she realized the three of them all shared the Bai surname.

Fortunately, Bai Simen insisted on sitting with her and refused to ride with Bai Dingkai, which saved Chen Duoduo from feeling too awkward.

During the half-hour cable car ride, because they weren’t alone, just the two of them, Chen Duoduo didn’t find it too awkward.

When they disembarked, Bai Simen saw Su Yu again.

Bai Dingkai saw him too, and when he noticed Bai Simen wanted to greet Su Yu, he reached out to pull her arm back, "Do you have to smile so brightly?"

"That’s Tang Su’s brother," Bai Simen reminded him again.

"So what about Tang Su’s brother?" Bai Dingkai retorted.

Tang Su had married Lu Han and was naturally a member of the Bai Family, but Su Yu wasn’t. Why should he give that man any face?

"You’re really annoying. Let go of me," Bai Simen glared at him.

Bai Dingkai refused to let go, which led to Bai Dingyang siding with Bai Simen. He frowned and said coldly to Bai Dingkai, "Let go, little brother."

"Big brother, you don’t know..."

"In public, don’t pull and drag like that. Be mindful of propriety," Bai Dingyang reminded him again.

Bai Dingkai had no choice but to let go.

Bai Simen linked arms with Chen Duoduo and walked away.

Just as Bai Dingkai was about to follow, Bai Dingyang spoke up, "Little brother, that’s not the way to chase a girl."

Bai Dingkai: "Cough..."

He felt a bit intimidated.

The scene was indeed a bit absurd.

He, a seasoned charmer, was actually getting a lecture from a rookie in love.

Their Big Brother Bai, who had been busy with business and making money all these years, making the Bai Group thrive, had every right to teach them about doing business and earning money.

After all, he earned the most.

But when it came to chasing women, Big Brother Bai, who had zero romantic experience, really shouldn’t have said such things.

"What are you doing? Mocking me?" Bai Dingyang wasn’t foolish and could hear the contempt in Bai Dingkai’s cough.

"Not at all, big brother. I wouldn’t dare. But, I wanted to tell you, I’ve had quite a few girlfriends, and I know how to chase a woman," Bai Dingkai replied.

"Aren’t you trying to pursue Simen?"

"Me, pursue her? It was always her chasing after me, okay? When we were kids, it was she who always followed me around, clinging to me, constantly spinning around behind me calling ’second brother, second brother.’"

"You know that was when you were kids. She doesn’t chase after you anymore," Bai Dingyang seriously pointed out.

"..."

Bai Dingkai also knew that Bai Simen was no longer chasing after him, and because she wasn’t, he found himself feeling uncomfortable.

It was just discomfort, nothing else.

It definitely wasn’t what everyone thought, that he was chasing after Bai Simen.

When he kissed her, hugged her, and kissed her again, it was like playing with a kitten or a puppy, with no other implication.

If they all disliked it, he just wouldn’t do it anymore.

"If you have no feelings for her, then stop pestering her. If Tang Su’s brother is a decent man, I actually think that Simen could give it a try with him,"

Bai Dingyang added fuel to the fire.

What’s meant by a dying duck’s stubbornness became crystal clear to him from Bai Dingkai’s reaction.

"Big Brother, that Mr. Su clearly doesn’t look like a good man, and besides, he’s the only son of the Su Family, spoiled by Tang Su’s grandmother. This kind of person, who has always enjoyed a life where he’s treated like the center of the universe by the Su Family, is not suitable for Simen."

"Whether he’s suitable or not, you don’t get to decide."

"Nor do you get to decide," Bai Dingkai suddenly lost his temper.

Bai Dingyang’s face darkened, but ultimately, he didn’t argue with him.

"Alright, I was just saying. Why are you getting so worked up? People who don’t know any better might think you’re desperately in love with Simen."

Bai Dingkai: "..."

Great, back to square one. Between him and Bai Simen, the only one who could be desperately in love was Bai Simen, certainly not him.

"I’ve fallen in love with Duoduo at first sight. How about you, the seasoned player, teach me how to chase her?" Bai Dingyang openly admitted his love at first sight for Chen Duoduo.

Bai Dingkai: Shocked!

**

Cable car exit.

Wu Jie and Su Yu had arrived early, then waited at the sole exit and, sure enough, met up with them.

"Brother, your second aunt agreed to you coming out with Wu Jie today to offer incense?" Tang Su raised her eyebrows.

"I’m an adult now, and besides, I can’t really get along with those people from the Su Family. It’s better to come out for a hike and offer some incense," Su Yu said, his gaze fixed on Bai Simen, who was approaching them.

"Hmm," Tang Su nodded in agreement, then realized that her brother’s attention wasn’t on her at all. Following Su Yu’s gaze, she saw Bai Simen and Chen Duoduo.

Her brother hadn’t given up yet?

But Simen was a no-go, though Duoduo could be a match for her brother.

Thinking this, Tang Su’s face lit up brilliantly.

As Bai Simen and Chen Duoduo approached, they saw the unusual glow on the siblings’ faces.

"Miss Bai," Su Yu greeted Bai Simen proactively.

"Mr. Su, you’re here too."

"Yes."

"Where are the Bai brothers?" Lu Zhu came over, taking a headcount.

"They’re behind."

"Great, now we have two more bachelors, right? So, when we head down the mountain later, it’ll be a surplus of offerings and not enough monks; the ladies will have the privilege to choose their male companions."

Bai brothers: "..."

It wasn’t that they were overthinking; it felt like these words were deliberately meant for their ears.

"Why are you two so slow, like snails? Come on, hurry up, it’s almost time for the first incense offering of the New Year. Let’s go." Lu Zhu took the lead, linking arms with Song Mingxiu and followed the crowd towards Guanghua Temple.
