Chapter 40 (1/2)

Ch.40 – Hostility

The acid went to Yi Heng's head in an instant.

He suddenly recalled every little bit of his relations.h.i.+p with his parents, and then his mood became even worse.

If only he wasn't “Yi Heng”…

At the same time, his eyes turned to Tang Li's quiet sleeping face. At that moment, he had such a strong desire to switch places with Tang Li.

In fact, as early as the death of Tang Li's, Yi Heng knew of the existence that was “Tang Li”.

At that time, he had some sympathy for Tang Li, thinking that he had found someone similar to himself.

Unexpectedly…

Yi Heng raised his mouth with self-mockery.

It was he who deluded himself. Tang Li and he were not in the same cla.s.s at all. At least Tang Li had better luck than him.

Yi Heng slowly retrieved his wandering eyes from Tang Li's face, meditated for a while, and then looked at Shen Yu.

From his point of view, he could see the side of Shen Yu's face clearly. Shen Yu is beautiful, warm and pure. His temperament is like a polished and round jade, which makes people want to approach.

Even after he fell asleep, Shen Yu's face was tranquil, his eyebrows relaxed, and his lips slightly hooked up.

Completely different from his violent mother and cowardly father.

Strangely enough, Yi Heng somewhat remembered that Shen Yu was not so approachable before. He followed his father and stepmother to many social dinners attended by Shen Yu. The Shen Yu at those times was so fierce that he could scold his a.s.sistant and make him cry with three words.

It's strange.

It only took a year or two to see a person's character change so dramatically.

Yi Heng was completely absorbed in his thoughts when he suddenly felt his arm get hit hard.

Turning his head, he looked up at a pair of dark eyes.

Tang Li, who had been sleeping soundly, had woken up at some point. His whole body huddled in the blanket. His hair was somewhat messy, and he was watching Yi Heng with his beautiful phoenix eyes.

Yi Heng quickly turned his gaze away, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Before long, Tang Li b.u.mped his elbow into his arm again and said in a low voice, “What were you looking at just now?”

Yi Heng took back his arm from the armrest of the chair and was too lazy to open his eyes. “Nothing,” he said coldly.

“I'm warning you now–” Tang Li's voice was sharp, almost like it was stabbing into Yi Heng's ears, “Don't have any thoughts about him.”

Yi Heng sneered and was forced to open his eyes.

The next second, he saw that Tang Li's face was only a short distance away from him. The two of them were so close that if Tang Li blinked his eyes, the thick long eyelashes could almost sweep across Yi Heng face.

Although Tang Li kept his expression blank, Yi Heng could sense nervousness and fear rolling of the younger boy.

Suddenly, Yi Heng seemed to understand something, he raised one eyebrow and showed a smiling expression: “You can rest a.s.sured, my parents are not dead, and I was not left to such kind relatives as you. Even if your brother Shen Yu wants to take me in, he has no reason to.”

In the face of Yi Heng's verbal provocation, Tang Li did not become as angry as Yi Heng had expected, but instead stared at him blankly.

Yi Heng did not evade his gaze and looked at Tang Li with a smile on his face.

After a long time, Tang Li slowly sat back and turned away from Yi Heng.

The silent war was soon over.

However, Yi Heng understood that Tang Li had not abandoned the issue, but he just didn't want to quarrel in front of Shen Yu. Moreover, Shen Yu was still asleep and was easy to wake up.

Yi Heng looked at Shen Yu with interest and closed his mouth.

After landing, some of the compet.i.tion staff were already waiting outside the airport.

Yi Heng picked up his suitcase with the rest of the group and then habitually walked at the back of the crowd.

But this time, instead of always burying his head as he before, he looked at Shen Yu and Tang Li from time to time.

Although Shen Yu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was always surrounded by the housekeeper and the vice princ.i.p.al, his attention never truly diverted from Tang Li, and he would turn to look at Tang Li every other moment.

Later, Shen Yu seemed to have noticed that the vice princ.i.p.al had unwittingly squeezed Tang Li to the back and Shen Yu simply reached out to directly hold the boy's hand.

Yi Heng looked at the two interlinking hands without expression. It took a long time for his eyes to move down.

Just by looking at him, no one could tell what he was thinking.

The group of people, led by the compet.i.tion staff, went to the hotel where they were booked to stay and then gave them some details about the compet.i.tion. The English contest lasted for two days. They were to gather in the library at 10 o'clock both mornings. Of course, the organizers arranged for vehicles to pick up the group, but meals needed to be solved by themselves.

After the details were given, the staff members left.

After a busy afternoon, everyone was very tired. The vice princ.i.p.al proposed to find a restaurant near the hotel. After dinner, they would go back to their respective rooms to rest.
