Chapter 3 (1/2)

h.e.l.lo,

I'm really happy with all the support this story has gotten, even though we're still in the early stage. So thank you for all your support *(^o^)/ *

I think I'll try to release a Chapter per day as this isn't a hard story to translate compared to historical or fantasy novels. Also I know I'm being a little back-and-forth on capitalization on certain parts so please bear with with me while I figure out how I want to do this.

I've been fixing things as people have been commenting. I changed Grandfather Shen to Elder Shen under Fortgotten Blues advice. I've also broken out my long forgotten HMTL skills and linked and colored the notes so people can have an easier time finding them (just click on them, you may have to scroll up a little). Additionally I've fixed the link for chapter 1 on NU.

I'm always happy to hear suggestion and fix any grammar mistakes (I don't proofread, I proofskim) so feel free to point the out. Just, you know, don't be mean. I'm doing my best!!!

Tang Li came out in less than half an hour. He didn't dare to stay in the bathroom for too long.

On the bed, the servants neatly laid out some new clothes, Tang Li took the clothes back to the bathroom and changed into them, they were just the right size.

The tag hanging on the clothing was not yet removed. Tang Li twisted the tag on his trousers and looked at it. He was stunned. Even when his parents were still alive, they did not buy him such expensive clothes.

Tang Li went out of the bathroom, looked around the s.p.a.cious and luxurious bedroom, and finally his gaze landed on a small bamboo basket laying on the tea table, it contained such items as scissors and rulers.

He approached, picked up the scissors, and gripped the hanging tag. Even after gripping the tag for a while, he had not yet started cutting.

After putting the scissors down, a sudden knocking noise came from the bedroom door. Tang Li hesitated for a moment before he finally said please come in.

As his voice fell, a servant opened the door and came in. “Young master Tang Li, we need to redesign your bedroom. Please go to the living room on the first floor and wait.”

Tang Li nodded and left the bedroom.

The Shen house was as gorgeous as he imagined, but it was always accompanied by a depressing sense of coldness. Tang Li sat on the sofa for an afternoon. There was no noise except the occasional sound of heavy objects landing on the second floor when the servants were carrying furniture.

Everything is silent.

Even Shen Yu, who decided to adopt him, never showed up.

Tang Li thought Shen Yu would appear at dinner.

When evening came and the servant led him to the dining room. Tang Li had subconsciously taken greater care of his clothes in order to make a better impression on Shen Yu, so he felt a little restrained.

Unfortunately, while there are many delicate and delicious dishes on the table, there is only Tang Li sitting alone at the table.

Tang Li had a bad time at his relatives' house and was always and after-thought to his relatives in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. In more than a year under the roof of his relatives, he seldom had a full meal, so the dinner before him was undoubtedly the most abundant meal he had ever enjoyed since his parents died.

But Tang Li felt it was a little bland.

He forced himself to finish most of the dishes on the table. He knew that he was too thin and too short. Even Shen Yu, who sat in a wheelchair, could look down at him.

Remembering Shen Yu's gentle eyes, there was a feeling of spring breeze that left an Tang Li with an odd sensation, as if even his cold body had a little warmth.

He needs to grow up quickly!

It was the first time Tang Li had such an urgent need.

——————————————-

Shen Yu has been in the world for a half-year[1]. Because the original owner of this body is not in good health, he was forced to get rid of many of his former bad habits.

However, it was only in the case of his bad eating habits that Shen Yu could not change, regardless of how hard Uncle Zhang tried to persuade him.

In the past, he also ran a dessert shop that was very successful and had a good reputation. He was the only owner and the only pastry chef. He was particularly interested in studying the practice of western pastry making. He himself had designed many popular pastries.

Of course, during the process of creating a new dessert, it is unavoidable to make a pile of test batches. Shen Yu got used to both tasting during the baking, and then eating again until he was full.

Uncle Zhang stood in front of the kitchen door and watched Shen Yu eat five pieces of cakes and seven or eight fist-sized croissants. His face instantly turned green [2] and he choked.

“Sir, you'd better go and have something to eat. Dr. Liu said that these desserts cannot be your staple food.”

“I'm not hungry yet.” Shen Yu took off his ap.r.o.n [3], and steered the wheelchair back out from the table. He then ordered the servant that was a.s.sisting him, “Put the tray into the oven. Ah…I really don't know how it will turn out this time.”

Uncle Zhang helplessly said: “… What if it hasn't succeeded yet?”

Shen Yu raised his lips and patted his belly confidently. “There are still four croissants here. I am confident that I can make the type of taste I want within four trials.”

“…” Are you really not hungry?

Uncle Zhang looked up and sighed with despair.

Shen Yu couldn't help laughing. He manipulated the wheelchair to go over to Uncle Zhang, as he was just about to comfort the worried housekeeper, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small head peeking out from the door.

Shen Yu, who was caught off guard, felt stunned. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the little head quickly retreated.

Shen Yu: “…”

He really was like a squirrel, acting frightened from beginning to end.

Shen Yu was unexpectedly amused, and the upward curvature of his mouth could hardly be suppressed. If it hadn't been for his perseverance, the people who knew the original master of this body would have collapsed.

Uncle Zhang immediately noticed Shen Yu's eyes. Frowning solemnly, he turned to walk out of the kitchen. Within a few seconds, he returned with a depressed child.

“He just finished his dinner and got lost while taking a walk.” Uncle Zhang brought Tang Li over to Shen Yu.

Tang Li knew that peeping outside the door was wrong. For a while, the little villain blushed, buried his head, clenched his lips, and said nothing

In fact, he lied to Zhang housekeeper. He was not taking a walk. He just came to see Shen Yu under the guise of taking one. He learned from the servants that Shen Yu was in the kitchen, so he had spent a lot of time winding through this labyrinth-like house before he found it.

However, the feeling of being caught peeping is not good, and maybe Shen Yu will even hate him because of it…

Thinking of this, Tang Li felt a sense of panic well up in his chest.
