Chapter 39 (1/2)

The book hasn't explicitly said this so far, but I think the plot of the “novel” that Shen Yu read, starts with the (at least male) characters already being out of high school, and that's why he's shocked that the male lead went to the same school as Tang Li, because it was never mentioned in the “novel” he read. The same way the male lead's background was never explicitly mentioned (which actually seems like a pretty important character point to not touch on in a novel).

On a side note, a question I often find myself asking with plot like this is, if our world was a novel, who would be its main character?

At first Shen Yu had not noticed Yi Heng.

Yi Heng was not grouped up with the other excited students. While the other three students gathered together to laugh and have fun, Yi Heng was sitting alone in the corner near the airport viewing window, looking down at his cell phone with an expression of concentration.

However, Yi Heng's beautiful face stood out amongst the crowd, otherwise Shen Yu would not have seen him as soon as they arrived.

Before Shen Yu could go over to say h.e.l.lo to Yi Heng, he was surrounded by the school leader and teachers who came to welcome him enthusiastically.

Shen Yu's ident.i.ty, no matter where he goes, is like that of a brilliantly s.h.i.+ning star.

Even now for example, the school leader and teachers are turning into sticky taffy, clinging to Shen Yu and following him around. Not only does Shen Yu have zero chance to talk to Yi Heng, but even when he goes to the bathroom, he has to imply to those people not to follow him anymore.

The school leader immediately understood Shen Yu's implication, and suddenly his face turned bright red. He quickly waved his hand and said, “Our apologizes Mr. Shen, we will wait for you in the boarding area.”

“…” Shen Yu gloomily steered the wheelchair into the bathroom.

By the time he came back, it was boarding time.

So, the large group went to the boarding gate, and the silent Yi Heng naturally trailed at the end of the group.

Shen Yu, who was pushed by Uncle Zhang, lead the way, followed by an expressionless Tang Li and chattering school leader, while the teachers led their students behind them.

As always, Yi Heng acted antisocial. Although his teacher was right in front of him, he never said a word to him, only chatting to the other students to answer the occasional question.

Yi Heng didn't intend to talk to anyone. He kept his head buried, and his hair hung down on his forehead, covering his eyes and half of his face.

Shen Yu could not see his expression clearly.

“Brother Shen Yu.”

Tang Li's sudden words pulled Shen Yu back from his dazed state. Tang Li was looking straight at him. His dark eyes, which appeared bottomless in that moment, seemed to carry a hint of sadness in them.

Shen Yu smiled, touched Tang Li's hair and said, “What's wrong?”

Tang Li didn't speak for a moment and then shook his head: “Nothing.”

Shen Yu didn't take this interaction to heart and was pushed forward by Uncle Zhang.

However, when Shen Yu turned his head again, trying to observe the movements of Yi Heng, he found that his sight was blocked by Tang Li.

Tang Li's eyes were filled with innocence: “Brother Shen Yu, were almost to the security check. Don't be distracted.”

Shen Yu: “…”

This petty little villain is absolutely doing this on purpose!

Only in the face of this person, Shen Yu could not say anything. He could hold back his words and turn his head his head.

Hey…

This is my own child…

What else can this poor parent do? Of course the little villain was forgiven.

Shen Yu sadly thought about New Year's Eve at the seaside, what he said to Uncle Zhang was like a Flag…

He really is to forgiving…

Before arriving at the waiting room, Uncle Zhang had already checked Shen Yu's wheelchair with the rest of the luggage. Right now, Shen Yu is sitting in a special aviation wheelchair made for air travel. He pa.s.sed through the handicap security channel unimpeded and arrived at the special position for wheelchair parking on the plane.

There were three seats behind him – Uncle Zhang was by the window, Tang Li was in the middle, and currently, no one sat by the aisle.

When the school leader, the teachers, and the students were being seated, Shen Yu saw a thin figure at the end of the aisle corridor.

It was Yi Heng.

Yi Heng wore a simple white T-s.h.i.+rt and jeans, which highlighted his pale skin. However, when looking closely, Shen Yu found that Yi Heng's skin color appeared sickly.

Seeing this, Shen Yu couldn't help frowning.

The little male lead's condition seemed even worse than he had imagined.

Yi Heng was very sensitive. He immediately noticed Shen Yu's eyes. He even raised his eyes and threw a straight and indifferent gaze back.

For a time, four eyes collided.

A slight sense of embarra.s.sment slowly spread through the air.

Of course, only Shen Yu could sense the embarra.s.sment. Yi Heng was unaffected. He did not stop for even half a second and went straight to the aisle position behind Shen Yu. He put his backpack down and took his seat.

It seems that the child is determined to pretend not to know him.

Shen Yu touched his nose and sighed softly.

When the plane took off, he could not resist. When the flight attendants were pouring water for Yi Heng, Shen Yu inadvertently looked back at him.

Suddenly, in the next second…

Shen Yu's vision was filled with the torso of a little villain.

Shen Yu: “…”

He just can't understand. Does this child have nothing to do all day? As long as he looks at Tang Li, in nine cases out of ten, he can see that the other party is already staring at him.

He couldn't figure out what was so nice to look at.

Shen Yu touched his cheek own subconsciously and then whispered to Tang Li, “Are you still sleepy?”

Tang Li yawned unthinkingly: “A little sleepy.”

Shen Yu felt both amused and helpless. What's more amazing is that he feels like Tang Li is a kid in need of coaxing.

“Sleep.” Shen Yu back looked at Yi Heng, who was asleep with an eye mask on, and turned back to look at Tang Li. “Rest some more, that way you'll have the energy to compete tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Tang Li cleverly closed his eyes and soon his breathing evened out as he fell asleep.

Shen Yu maintained his original posture and watched Tang Li's sleeping face for a while before his eyes fell on Yi Heng again.

Yi Heng wore a plain black blindfold. His slightly long hair was chaotically bound by the blindfold strap. His lips were slightly open, his eyebrows were drawn tight, and his expression was extraordinarily solemn. It seemed that he was dreaming of something bad.
