Chapter 31 (1/2)
I have to give big complements to the author of this novel for how smooth it is to translate.
The other project I'm working on has shorter chapters but actually takes longer to translate do to the writing style.
Gold star for Author-sama!
Tang Li acted as if he did not see Lei Yumeng's horrified expression. He stepped forward and walked calmly, his dark eyes staring at Lei Yumeng.
He went straight to Lei Yumeng and grinned. His voice was full of curiosity: “What do you want to say to my brother? Can I listen?”
“…” Lei Yumeng was shocked.
What the f.u.c.k!
She had checked several times just now to make sure that there was no one in the corridor. Where did Tang Li come from?
And in order to avoid the eavesdropping of Tang Li, she chose a relatively concealed position. Unexpectedly, Tang Li had no intention of eavesdropping at all. Instead, he ran directly and openly to confront her.
After a long pause, Lei Yumeng gradually regained her consciousness, and replied in a stiff tone, “Nothing important.”
“If you don't have anything to say, don't waste your time.” Tang Li squinted his eyes. The smile that filled his mouth never disappeared, but there was no laughter in his eyes. “Your parents are still waiting for you.”
Lei Yumeng was only a short distance from Tang Li. The longer her eyes stared at Tang Li's smiling face, the more the discomfort in her heart intensified.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed that Tang Li seemed to have grown taller.
On that snowy night a week ago, she could have looked down at Tang Li as she stood on the steps of her house.
Now, however, she needs to raise her head to get a good look at Tang Li.
She knew the real face of Tang Li.
She knew how many needles Tang Li had hidden under his smile at the moment.
Although she was so eager to tear off the mask of Tang Li, she did not dare to tell Shen Yu the truth in front of Tang Li. She did not know what revenge Tang Li would get if she did so.
“What's wrong?” Tang Li asked softly, with the same smile on his face. “Sister Lei, you look ugly. What's wrong with you?”
Lei Yumeng gritted her teeth and hesitated.
When Shen Yu saw this, he said to Tang Li, “Chestnut, get Uncle Zhang to call a doctor for her.”
Tang Li answered cleverly, “Okay.”
“Stop, don't go!” Lei Yumeng responded in time and quickly reached out to block Tang Li's way. She looked at Shen Yu with some annoyance and unwillingness. Finally, she sighed compromisingly, “I'm all right. My parents are still waiting for me, so I'll leave first.”
Shen Yu looked at Lei Yumeng doubtfully.
“Bye-bye, Brother Shen Yu.” Lei Yumeng waved to Shen Yu and silently said, “I'll never see you again”, then turned around and ran away.
Shen Yu, with a helpless face, turned his head to see Tang Li standing motionlessly near him, still wearing the hospital's blue and white striped uniform. His usually expressionless face seemed slightly aggrieved at the moment.
Shen Yu couldn't help laughing, he steered his wheelchair over to Tang Li, raised his hand and stroked the little villain's soft hair.
“Don't worry.” Shen Yu blinked at Tang Li.
Tang Li closed his eyes and rubbed Shen Yu's palm with his cheek. After a while, he opened his beautiful black eyes and said uneasily, “She must want to speak bad things about me.”
Shen Yu disapprovingly said, “I just won't listen.”
Tang Li frowned slightly and looked at Shen Yu. “What if she insists on telling you?”
Shen Yu pinched Tang Li's face and laughed, “I won't hear what I don't want to hear. It's useless for anyone to talk to me.”
Tang Li did not seem to have expected Shen Yu to give such a decisive answer. For a long time, he was stunned. When he finally recovered, the joy in his eyes spread quickly until it completely engulfed the obsidian orbs.
The next second, he leaned forward and hugged Shen Yu, his arms wrapped tightly around Shen Yu's neck.
“Shen Yu.” Tang Li buried his whole face in Shen Yu's neck as he shouted out Shen Yu's name word by word. The heat from the little villain's breath spread across Shen Yu's skin. “You're so kind.”
Shen Yu smiled and put his hands on Tang Li's back.
“I'm only kind to you.”
“No.” Tang Li retorted and m.u.f.fled, “You are still kind to that Aunt named Jenny Yang.”
Shen Yu: “…”
Just how long has it been since he and Jenny Yang talked?
Sensing Shen Yu's silence, Tang Li drilled himself deeper into Shen Yu's bosom, and breathlessly opened his mouth: “Why won't you say anything?”
“All right.” Shen Yu patted Tang Li on the back and coaxed the small child, “I will not treat her as well in the future.”
Moreover, after Shen Yu carefully thought about it, he realized that he did not feel that he was happy with Jenny Yang in any particular respect. Even now, Jenny Yang's mobile phone number and Weibo are still quietly lying comfortably on his blacklist.
However, out of fear that Tang Li would be unhappy, Shen Yu did not mention Jenny Yang's name again.
Next, Tang Li morphed into a piece of sticky taffy and remained happily glued to Shen Yu for a long time. Finally, he reluctantly let him go under Shen Yu's urging, his small face full of displeasure.
Shen Yu looked amused as he headed straight back to the ward in his wheelchair without taking care of Tang Li, who was still sulking behind him.
But within a few seconds, there was a clatter of footsteps behind him.
“Shen Yu, you wait for me.” Tang Li's legs were long, and he flew to Shen Yu's side in a few steps. He put his arm on Shen Yu's wheelchair handles to stop him. Seeing that Shen Yu did not respond, the little villain quietly grasped Shen Yu's wrist.
