The Happiness of the Brothers Depends on You

Su Yang idly ranked the leg shapes of various girls in his mind.

First place still went to Pan Ning.

He struggled with second place for a long time, ultimately giving it to Su Qingci. He had initially thought of giving it to Ren Lingxi, but since he hadn't gotten to know Ren Lingxi deeply yet, he temporarily left her out of the ranking.

Third place was Meng Qianyu. Fourth place was a tie between Lu Yun and Tang Ziyun. Fifth place was Lin Yiyi.

He smiled as he massaged.

Pan Ning glanced at him but couldn't be bothered to ask what he was thinking.

After a few minutes of massaging, Pan Ning said calmly, "Alright, that's enough. You lie down, I'll give you a massage."

"You'll massage me?"

"What, don't believe in my skills?"

"Not at all. Sure, let's do it." Su Yang would never refuse such a good offer.

He turned over and lay face down on the sofa. Pan Ning sat beside him and started massaging haphazardly.

After a simple two-minute massage, Pan Ning suddenly lifted Su Yang's T-shirt, exposing his muscular back.

Then she pinched the skin on his back and pulled it upwards.

"Whoa!" Su Yang shuddered and let out a yelp.

"What's wrong?" Pan Ning asked.

"Why are you pinching my skin?"

"This is called 'spine pinching.' Haven't you had it done before?"

"Spine pinching? Isn't this just skin pinching?"

"Do you even know what you're talking about? Stop complaining and lie still."

As Pan Ning spoke, she continued her technique, leaving Su Yang grimacing in discomfort.

"Ow ow ow! That hurts, it hurts!"

"Shut up."

"What's this thing supposed to do anyway... Ouch."

"I don't know either. Anyway, a masseuse did it to me before when I went for a massage, and I thought it felt pretty good."

"Good? Be gentler, please."

"Your skin is too tight, it's hard to pinch. I'm not doing it anymore."

Hearing this, Su Yang hurriedly sat up. "No more, no more. You must be tired from massaging, take a rest."

"You think I'm not good at it, don't you?"

"Not at all? I'd love for you to massage me."

"Then we'll continue tonight."

"Ah... we're continuing?"

"You said you'd love for me to massage you~"

"Well... it's not impossible, but can we massage other parts instead?" Su Yang said with a mischievous smile.

Pan Ning rolled her eyes at Su Yang and leaned back on the sofa. "Sure, I'll massage you to death."

...

After the two chatted idly for a while, a message came in the group chat.

Su Yang picked up his phone to look. Meng Wenzhou had tagged everyone in the group: @everyone, are you all done? Let's go eat.

Su Yang: Let's go, we're about done here too.

Tang Ziyun: Barbecue, barbecue~

Su Qingci: Gather in the hotel lobby.

Liu Bo: Ok.

Turning off his phone, Su Yang stood up. "Let's go, time to eat."

"What are we eating?"

"Barbecue. I heard the barbecue in Xicang is really good, let's try it."

"Alright."

As they spoke, they pushed the door open and went out.

Their neighbors, Meng Qianyu, Tang Ziyun, Su Qingci, and Zhong Qing, also happened to come out at the same time.

Seeing Su Yang and Pan Ning standing together, Meng Qianyu felt inexplicably upset for some reason.

However, she forced a normal smile and said, "Brother Su Yang, Sister, let's go."

"Let's go."

The six of them turned and walked towards the elevator lobby.

They soon descended to the hotel lobby. After sitting and waiting for about five minutes, the rest of the group had all arrived.

"Let's go, chow time."

"Did you book a place?" Su Yang asked, looking at the guys.

Zhang Ziming shook his head. "Not yet."

"Then we should book a place first before going."

"We were thinking of walking around and eating at whichever place looks good."

Su Yang nodded. "That works too."

The eleven of them walked out of the hotel together. Once on the street, Liu Bo put his arm around Su Yang's shoulder and whispered, "Brother Yang, I need to tell you something."

Su Yang glanced sideways at Liu Bo. "Just say it, why so secretive?"

"Wait, let's walk slower." Liu Bo said, signaling the other guys to slow down.

The girls didn't pay attention to the guys and happily walked ahead.

Seeing the girls walk away, Su Yang frowned slightly and looked at the mysteriously grinning guys around him.

"What's up with you all?"

"Hehe, we envy you."

"Envy me?"

"Yeah. When driving, the beauties sit with you. When getting a hotel room, the beauties stay with you too."

"Wait, wait, wait." Su Yang raised his hand to interrupt Liu Bo, speechless. "What do you mean 'stay with me'? It's just Pan Ning staying with me, isn't it?"

"Isn't that enough? If the room were bigger, with more beds, they'd probably all dare to stay with you."

"I wouldn't mind, but such good fortune doesn't exist." Su Yang chuckled and continued, "No, seriously, you jerk, what exactly are you trying to say?"

At this point, Zhang Ziming walked to Su Yang's other side and put his arm around his shoulder. "Fatso, you can't explain clearly after all this time, let me do it."

"Fine, fine, you say it."

Zhang Ziming cleared his throat and said calmly, "What we mean is this, look. This whole trip, you're the only one surrounded by beauties. The five of us are like five big idiots... big lightbulbs, running around here and there all day like fools, without any female companions by our side. We're really envious watching you."

"Well..." Su Yang scratched his head. "Go on."

"So, we'd like to have companions too."

Su Yang was taken aback and looked at Zhang Ziming. "Then why are you coming to me? I can't conjure up beauties for you."

"Our idea is to borrow some of your peach blossom luck."

"Borrow what?"

"Peach blossom luck."

"Seriously, bro, how do you borrow something like that?"

"I've already thought of a plan. Listen carefully."

Zhang Ziming smiled, let go of Su Yang, and continued, "Look, generally speaking, whenever you go somewhere, there's a seventy to eighty percent chance you'll run into beauties."

"So, after we finish eating later, let's find an excuse to slip out and have some fun on our own. You'll be responsible for acting like a magnet to attract beauties for us. And if possible, help us wingman a bit. Our happiness depends on you, brother."

After Zhang Ziming finished speaking, Su Yang smiled, looked up at the sky, and fell into thought.

A few seconds later, Zhang Ziming looked at Su Yang anxiously. "Tsk, say something, will you?"

"Yeah, Brother Yang, say something." Ji Bo chimed in.

Su Yang glanced at them, took his phone out of his pants pocket, and turned it on.

Zhang Ziming tilted his head to look and saw the phone screen displayed a recording interface.

Before he could react, Su Yang pressed play.

"So, after we finish eating later, let's find an excuse to slip out and have some fun on our own. You'll be responsible for acting like a magnet to attract beauties for us. And if possible, help us wingman a bit. Our happiness depends on you, brother..."

Suddenly, Zhang Ziming thought of something. His face changed, and he hurriedly reached out to grab Su Yang's phone.

Su Yang quickly dodged, laughing. "Hehe, little Ziming, if Yi Xue hears this recording, what do you think will happen?"

"Hahaha." The other guys immediately laughed without mercy.

Meng Wenzhou walked over, supporting himself on Su Yang, laughing. "Haha, I think this is more interesting than being a wingman. Old Su, send it!"

"Wait, bro? Brother Yang!! You can't do this!!"

Liu Bo gloated and laughed. "Brother Yang, can you send me a copy of the recording?"

"Send you nothing, you're a real troublemaker."

After teasing him for a couple more minutes, Su Yang laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I'll stop. I'm deleting it." He then deleted the recording right in front of Zhang Ziming.

Zhang Ziming immediately sighed in relief. "Oh, thank you, bro! You're the best, my man! My real brother!"

"No backups, right?"

"Here, check for yourself." Su Yang had just been messing with Zhang Ziming on a whim; he hadn't made any backups.

Zhang Ziming grinned. "No need, no need, I trust you. It's all just fun and games between us guys."

"So, what's the final word, Old Su?" Chu Qiunan looked at Su Yang and asked again.

Su Yang nodded. "Let's do it."

"You're in?"

"It's not a big deal. But I'm not promising we'll run into any beauties. Don't blame me if we come up empty-handed."

"Of course not."

"So, where are you guys planning to go later?"

"The bar, obviously."

"The bar? You sure?"

"Definitely. We're thinking of going to a folk music bar, or a chill lounge, maybe a craft beer pub."

"Mainly because there aren't many girls elsewhere. Pretty much everyone who comes to Xicang now is likely heading to Ya'an next, and then into Tibet towards the Holy City. We might as well scout for some fellow travelers. Then we'll have our chance, hehe." Chu Qiunan said with a face full of hopeful anticipation.

Su Yang nodded. "Hmm, that's true."

"Alright then, let's grab some food first. We'll figure it out after eating."

"Roger that. Tonight, let's truly experience your legendary prowess."
