Chapter 41 (1/2)

Ch.41 – Jealousy

After Tang Li entered the room, there were only three people left in the corridor, Shen Yu, Yi Heng, and Uncle Zhang.

Silence crept through the air.

Shen Yu thought that Yi Heng want to go out, so he manipulated the wheelchair to give him room for a few minutes. However, after waiting for half a day, he only saw Yi Heng leaning motionless against the door with his arms crossed.

He seemed to be waiting for something.

Shen Yu felt embarra.s.sed and thought about talking to Yi Heng. Then he remembered Yi Heng not looking back as he went to the elevator. All the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Thinking more about it, Shen Yu completely swallowed those words back.

A second later, Tang Li came out. He only made time to put his suitcase in the right place and wash his hands, not even bothering to clean up the water from the sink counter before he rushed back.

“Brother Shen Yu.” Tang Li went over to Shen Yu and cried out, looking nervous.

Shen Yu felt funny and could not help touching Tang Li's hair: “What are you so anxious about? We won't leave without you. Even if we did leave, don't you still know my room number?

Tang Li secretly looked at the motionless Yi Heng and said nothing.

Shen Yu said, “Let's go.”

Tang Li nodded and took the initiative to take Shen Yu's suitcase from Uncle Zhang. The little villain's strength was so great that he carried both Shen Yu and his own suitcase all the way from S city to Jincheng without breaking a sweat.

Shen Yu wanted to say h.e.l.lo to Yi Heng. Turning his head around, he found that Yi Heng stood quietly upright and closed the door behind him. It seemed that he was going to leave with them.

Shen Yu was full of questions.

Yi Heng easily saw what Shen Yu was thinking, so he went forward and asked very naturally, “Uncle Shen, what are we going to eat tonight?”

“…” Shen Yu opened his eyes slightly in surprise and for a moment, thought that he had misheard.

When he went upstairs, he was so indifferent to them that Shen Yu thought he was just using them as an excuse so that he didn't have to go out for dinner.

However, Shen Yu's heart was still happy to see Yi Heng willing to take the initiative to get close to him. He preferred to be friends with the little male lead rather than strangers.

Or maybe he can help the little male lead as he grows up.

As long as the he is grateful towards him, he will not be so willing to tear him down in the future.

Shen Yu thought about a lot of messy things. When he finally collected his thoughts, he looked at Yi Heng's bright amber eyes. His eyes were very clear, as if Shen Yu could see through them.

The little male lead did not wait for Shen Yu's response, Yi Heng tilted his head and said jokingly, “What's wrong? Is it inconvenient for Uncle Shen to let me join you?

“Oh, no…” Shen Yu smiled and said, “What do you want to eat?”

Yi Heng shrugged his shoulders. “Anything's fine, I'm not picky about food.”

Then the group of people walked to Shen Yu's room. Shen Yu gave Uncle Zhang the task of ordering the food. He asked Tang Li to help him sort out the suitcase and put out all the clothes and daily necessities.

Tang Li responded in a low voice. He hung all the clothes in the wardrobe with quick movements, and then picked up several towels and was.h.i.+ng utensils which had been packed and went straight to the bathroom.

Throughout the process, Tang Li did not say another word.

Only when Shen Yu spoke to him would he return a few words with a very low voice and a reluctant tone.

Shen Yu could sense the abnormality in Tang Li. He sat in the living room waiting for a long time. Finally, he could no longer wait for Tang Li to come out of the bathroom. He had no choice but to manipulate his wheelchair and go to the bathroom.

With a click, he opened the door.

The bathroom was ablaze with lights and Tang Li stood motionless in front of the sink, facing away from Shen Yu.

“Chestnut.” Shen Yu tentatively called out, while sitting in his wheelchair. He sighed softly and patted Tang Li on the shoulder from behind. “Are you all right?”

“I'm all right.” Tang Li said, but still, he did not move.

Although Tang Li did not look back, from Shen Yu's point of view, he could see the reflection of Tang Li in the mirror – the eyelashes hanging down cast a small shadow on his skin, the corners of his mouth were tense, his jaw was clenched, and frustration almost overflowed from his expression.

Shen Yu was silent for a moment before finally asking, “Are you jealous?”

Tang Li raised his head sharply with a faint hint of self-ridicule. He smiled at Shen Yu in the mirror, and then at once, like a frightened rabbit, he started shaking his head like a little rattle drum.

“No!” The denial was extremely resolute.

“You are.” Shen Yu deliberately teased him.

“I'm not.” Tang Li finally summoned up courage and turned his head to Shen Yu. He hid his expression very well. He looked serious and tried to solemnly corrected Shen Yu. “I'm really not…”

In the end, his expression revealed a trace of guilt.

Shen Yu tried to hold back his laughter, so he looked at Tang Li drily, pretending nothing had happened. Then suddenly, he put his hand on Tang Li's head and rubbed the little villain's soft hair.

It felt as good as ever.

Ah…

Shen Yu loved it.

“It's time for a haircut again.” Shen Yu changed the subject. “Your hair grows as fast as you do.”

Tang Li licked his lips and gazed at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu smiled before sighing sadly, “Our Chestnut sure has grown up.”

Sometimes when he looked up at Tang Li, his neck felt sore from looking up.

Just a year ago, Tang Li was as thin as a chicken, and his thighs were not even as thick as Shen Yu's arms.

Shen Yu sighed, just as he wanted to say something, the light in front of him dimmed. When he finally realized what had happened, he found that Tang Li had tightly wrapped his arms around Shen Yu's neck.
