Chapter 16 (1/2)
In some ways Shen Yu acts exactly like his Grandpa (even though he's not really his grandson?).
Also, I think I'm a little in love with Grandpa Shen's character. He just seems fun.
Uncle Zhang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, frowned unconsciously when he heard Tang Li directly calling Shen Yu's name.
How could that child call his young master by his first name?
Not to mention that this kind of behavior itself is very offensive, if those paparazzi or some pa.s.sers-by heard it, he was afraid that they will print a false news article about the relations.h.i.+p between young master Shen and his family.
After all, in the eyes of the public, Tang Li is a spy sent over by Elder Shen to monitor Shen Yu.
Uncle Zhang's face darkened. He said quietly, “Young Master.”
Shen Yu, sitting in the back, saw Uncle Zhang's mood change. He immediately guessed what Uncle Zhang was going to say next. He rushed ahead of Uncle Zhang and said to Tang Li with crossed eyebrows, “Didn't I tell you before? Don't shout my name in public!”
Although Shen Yu had the appearance of gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth when he spoke, Uncle Zhang could feel that Shen Yu was not really angry, but instead was either deliberately or unconsciously making excuses for Tang Li.
The unspoken implication in Shen Yu's words is that Tang Li's act of calling his name has already been approved by him.
After realizing this, Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment. Then he looked up into the rear-view mirror and saw that Shen Yu was still acting angry with Tang Li.
He shook his head helplessly and swallowed all his unspoken grievances.
In fact, he did not agree with Shen Yu's way of raising children. Too much spoiling would only harm the child, and the parent, in the long run.
Unfortunately, as a housekeeper with a fixed salary, Uncle Zhang knows he is not qualified to interfere in the private affairs of his young master. After hesitating repeatedly, he still chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
It's just…
He didn't know why, but Uncle Zhang always felt that Shen Yu is too good to Tang Li. Other people didn't treat their own children as good as the young master treated Tang Li.
Even if Shen Yu did not turn his head to see Uncle Zhang, he could easily detect the suspicious eyes of the other party. He was somewhat guilty, but pretended to calmly open the car door and waved to Tang Li, “What are you still stunned about? Quickly, get in.”
The little villain who had been scolded was not angry at all, but instead looked at Shen Yu directly with both eyes.
The little villain's eyes are full of light, so serious, so focused, as if the whole world could not enter his eyes, only Shen Yu.
Shen Yu felt awkward under Tang Li's unavoidable gaze. In a moment, his nerves seemed to twist into knots. He could not tell what his actual mood was at that time.
But he knows that he doesn't like to be looked at like that by Tang Li.
Most people would hate being stared at as if they were prey.
Shen Yu looked away from Tang Li's eyes as the little villain got in the car obediently and was ready to close the door.
At that time, a girl suddenly crowded out of the group of students, panting, she ran over and put her hand on the car door, which prevented Shen Yu from closing the door.
When Shen Yu looked closely, he realized that this was the little girl who had been speaking to Tang Li when he came out of school just now.
If he had guessed correctly, this little girl should be a middle school girl who often wrote love letters to Tang Li. She was much more elegant than Shen Yu imagined. She had big eyes, a small mouth, and looked like a water spirit.
“Tang Li, it's mean for you to just leave without telling me.” The little girl stood in front of the car door with a big grin and complained to Tang Li, who was sitting in the car.
Tang Li sat in the seat next to Shen Yu's wheelchair, frowning impatiently and answered coldly, “Who are you? Why should I tell you when I'm leaving?
“Why are you doing this?” The little girl jumped up in anger at Tang Li's indifferent att.i.tude, her face was red, and she said in a charming voice, “I like you so much, yet you still treat me like this. You are like a cold-blooded animal!”
Tang Li sneered, and his eyes looked like they were covered in a layer of ice: “Do you think your opinion matters to me?”
“You…” The little girl's eyes turned red as she cried out with grievance.
Shen Yu had no interest in puppy love, so when he saw that the little villain was not interested in this puppy love game, he did not want to interfere. However, the little girl kept wiping her tears in front of the car door, and he could not push the little girl away.
After thinking about it, Shen Yu handed over a handkerchief.
The little girl caught a glimpse of Shen Yu's slender, beautiful hand through the misty afterlight of her tears. Suddenly, she stopped crying, and her eyes followed the hand up to Shen Yu's face.
Shen Yu smiled at her. “It's not good to see girls crying too much.”
The little girl stared at Shen Yu for a long time. Her cheeks, stained with tears, turned red. She reached for the handkerchief Shen Yu handed over and said, “Thank you, big brother.”
Shen Yu replied, “Of course, it's no problem at all.”
Now the little girl was no longer sad because of Tang Li's words. She looked at Shen Yu in surprise and shyness. She quickly wiped the tears off her face with the handkerchief. Then she bit her lip and bravely said, “Big brother, you look so beautiful. My name is Lei Yumeng. What's your name?”
Shen Yu: “…”
He was surprised and amused by the change of att.i.tude from the little girl.
What a child!
Who knew love can come and go so quickly?
The stunned Shen Yu was about to say his name when Tang Li, who was still sitting next to him, suddenly stood up. He grabbed the girl's arm with an expressionless face, pulled her aside, and slammed the door shut, leaving Shen Yu alone in the backseat.
The noise was cut off from the outside, and the car was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.
Finally Tang Li came back to the car and asked Uncle Zhang, “Can we go now?”
Uncle Zhang was silent, glancing at the rear-view mirror, looking at the little girl knocking on the car door outside, and then at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu looked at Uncle Zhang and paused. He had no further reason to speak to the little girl outside. He nodded and said, “Let's go.”
As soon as the words came out, the tense look in Tang Li's eyes gradually relaxed. The expression on his face was blank. His gaze seemed distant, and his eyes were so deep that n.o.body could tell what he was thinking.
Unfortunately, Shen Yu did not notice this.
