After the Stand-in Shou Faked His DeathCh6 - The Old Photo Album

During the weekend, Xu ChengYan received a call.

“Sister-in-law! I’m back! Come and pick me up!” The voice on the other end of the phone was a little excited. 804TeH

Xu ChengYan asked: “When will you arrive?”

“Just this afternoon! Two or three o’clock!”

“So soon?” Xu ChengYan was a little surprised, “Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“I want to surprise Sister-in-law and Big brother!” The other party laughed. OKBj1

After hanging up the phone, Xu ChengYan went to the study first to find XianSheng.

He Yang was leaning on the sofa, looking at an old photo album.

But when Xu ChengYan came in, He Yang closed the album and put it aside.

Xu ChengYan glanced at the album. He knew that sometimes XianSheng would stay alone in the study and flip through this photo album, which seemed to be a very important thing.

Xu ChengYan walked over and said, “XianSheng, Jiang Lin is coming back, and it’s this afternoon flight.”

Jiang Lin was He Yang’s cousin, who was studying in a university abroad, and would only come back occasionally during holidays.

“This afternoon?” He Yang raised his head.

“Yeah.” Xu ChengYan said, “XianSheng, do you want to pick him up together?” KyV8Za

He Yang agreed.

Xu ChengYan also went back to the bedroom first, prepared to change clothes.

But when Xu ChengYan was about to undress, He Yang came in.

He Yang stood at the door of the dressing room and looked at the young man in front of him. dEy6aW

The upper body of the young man was naked, with a long-sleeved shirt in his hand, which he hadn’t had time to put on.

He Yang walked over and suddenly said, “Change another one.”

He Yang then walked towards the closet, he chose (the clothes) leisurely and picked out a white shirt from inside.

XianSheng liked to help him choose clothes, and even matched a whole set directly, and then asked him to change it.

Sometimes he just felt like a doll, and XianSheng was the one who dressed the doll. l34muG

But he didn’t mind, as long as XianSheng liked it.

After changing his clothes and putting on his scarf, Xu ChengYan saw the man handing over a perfume bottle ——

It was the Snow Season Forest.

Xu ChengYan took the perfume and used it a bit on his body. i6ftsO

He knew that XianSheng had never used perfume, but he liked to give him perfume, and the closet was already full with it.

And recently, XianSheng seemed to like this Snow Season Forest.

After Xu ChengYan finished dressing up, he went to the airport with He Yang.

After three o’clock, Xu ChengYan saw Jiang Lin in the crowd at a glance. dIt0di

Jiang Lin was two years younger than Xu ChengYan, and because he had a baby face, he looked even younger.

“Brother! Sister-in-law!” Jiang Lin rushed over with a suitcase.

Jiang Lin’s temperament was rather active. As soon as he saw Xu ChengYan, he gave a hug and was all smiles: “Sister-in-law is getting more and more handsome!”

Jiang Lin looked at He Yang next to him again, and said with a smile: “Big brother is also handsome.” G6RH9C

It’s just that He Yang was a little indifferent, so he just said lightly: “Go back first.”

Jiang Lin also knew that He Yang was this character, so he followed him and quickly said: “I want to freeload dinner tonight! I haven’t eaten well for a long time! Sister-in-law’s cooking is the best!”

“Okay.” Xu ChengYan nodded.

The three returned to the apartment, and Xu ChengYan went to the kitchen to make dinner. b0j X6

Jiang Lin started unpacking his luggage in the living room and took out two gift boxes from it.

He Yang had already returned to the study. Jiang Lin took the two gift boxes and rushed into the study impatiently.

“Brother! Souvenirs for you and Sister-in-law!” Jiang Lin put two gift boxes on the table.

He Yang, who was leaning on the sofa and flipping through the old photo album, looked up and responded casually. The expression on his face was still a little cold. XDdEQv

Jiang Lin was about to say something but when he suddenly noticed the photo album in He Yang’s hand, he fell silent.

After a while, Jiang Lin asked in a low voice, “Brother, when are you and Sister-in-law going to get married?”

He Yang just said lightly, “I don’t know.”

“It’s been five years…….” Jiang Lin muttered, “I’m still thinking of being the best man…….” MqkNw3

He Yang lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Looking at the photo album, Jiang Lin suddenly frowned and said, “Brother, you are not waiting for him, right?”

Jiang Lin’s words were a bit sudden, but He Yang understood.

“Adults’ business, it’s not for children to care.” He Yang closed the album, got up, and carefully put the album in the drawer. 8w2Bpr

“Okay, I don’t care.” Jiang Lin leaned on the sofa, thought for a while, and suddenly said, “But he seems to be coming back soon.”

“M-hm.” He Yang’s reaction was still lukewarm.

Jiang Lin glanced at him, but he couldn’t see any mood swings on He Yang’s face, so he finally had to give up.

The atmosphere in the study became a little stiff for a while, and neither of them spoke. fCt0dr

Until the knock on the door broke the silence of the study——

Xu ChengYan stood in front of the study door and smiled, “Dinner is ready.”

Jiang Lin was instantly revived and energetic and he rushed out.

After dinner, Jiang Lin was ready to leave. gxlbMP

Jiang Lin had a suite here, which was at the apartment next door and very close to theirs.

Xu ChengYan helped hold the suitcase and escorted Jiang Lin to the elevator door.

Jiang Lin suddenly thought of something and asked, “Sister-in-law, where will my brother’s birthday party be held?”

Xu ChengYan: “Blue Ocean Cruise Ship.” sha8Jt

Jiang Lin nodded, “Okay, leave a seat for me!”

“Okay.”

Xu ChengYan asked again, “Where do you plan to go after graduation?”

“I’ll come back.” Jiang Lin scratched his hair, “It’s not fun to go abroad, it’s better to be here.” g6JxUa

Jiang Lin would graduate this year, and there were only a few months left.

Xu ChengYan smiled and said, “So, you’re going to work after graduation.”

“I won’t work! I want to play for a few more years!” Jiang Lin joked and before he entered the elevator, he waved at Xu ChengYan, “Sister-in-law, I’ll come to play with you again!”

“Okay.” Xu ChengYan watched Jiang Lin enter the elevator, and then turned back. VLgj 9

Xu ChengYan was about to go back to the bedroom, but as he passed the study, he glanced subconsciously.

The door of the study was not closed, and there was a warm yellow light inside.

The man was sitting there, looking down at an old yellowed album.

Looking over it over and over again, like treating some rare treasure. 7e JEo

Xu ChengYan looked at the man’s profile, but in the end he didn’t bother him and turned to leave.

He would not touch or be curious about XianSheng’s past.

As long as it stayed like this, it’s the best.

Translator's Note

The raw is ‘定下来’ which could be translated to ‘settle down/ decide/ settle’ but I decided to use ‘get married’ which fit the translation here in my opinion.

  1. Noooooo, my poor baby deserves so much better!!!!  Scumbag! Just leave my baby if you can’t even commit!!

  2. he could’ve done something and not let the scum man scum him, stand up for himself and finally realize his real worth, MC is so precious but he’s too in love and that’s the thing, i actually believe (in my opinion) that if ur in love with someone dont make them ur “everything”, prioritize urself first, make urself number 1, treat urself better than u treat others (but ofc dont hurt other people when ur at it). it hurts to see him being trampled over by himself and his very own partner, the ML is disgusting 😄

    Thank u for the chapter!!!

  3. That last sentence hit hard! Repression is not the best way D: JL is super cute, he let me felt warm in this chapter~

    Thank You for the update ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)

  4. Would have been good if the past stayed in the past. That way he would never get hurt. I’m holding my tissues ready for the chapters to come.🤧

  5. Finally a character to like? I hope so, JL stay that way please. At least he seems to like our love stupid MC :’D

    Thx for the ch ٩( >ヮ<)۶

  6. he sucks. why? you use replacements and talk about loving your “white moonlight” you don’t deserve our mc. so blind, why does a person from your past matter above the one who’s been with you in the present? he loves you, and we all wish he didn’t. ughh i keep forgetting these are fictional _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):

  7. I swear Yanyan is the best at being neglected!!!!

    Let elder brother revenge for you! I’ll take this lamp here and bash it on this scum’s head.

  8. I feel so bad for him. He was too inlove that he settles for just whatever the ML give him. I just want to fast forward to ML’s birthday and be done with this scum. Let him see your worth!!! 😭😭😭😭

  9. After the great escape I want JL and the MC to stay friends. Maybe it is JL that helps the MC get on his feet since it seems like the MC might start a company or become important to one.

  10. Wu wu wu (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ I feel so heart broken in his stead! Little cousin, I’m counting with your support! Don’t let me down!

    Thanks for the chapter!

  11. I’m sorry but every time the scum man does something that screams “red flag” and mc goes “it’s okay, as long as he likes it” my brain just goes “…that’s so cheap, why so cheap, that mindset is so cheap. Why is mc so cheap.” LIKE BRO?! even a dumbass like me can identify which act passes the vibe check or not, how can you not??? Also scum man hohohoho I really can’t wait to see you suffer, haaaiizzzz…
