Chapter 45 (2/2)

Tang Li quickly sensed Shen Yu's intention and moved his body to the side, trying to block Shen Yu's vision.

But Tang Li's action was still a step too late. Shen Yu only glanced at it and saw clearly that it was now 10:30 a.m.

That is to say…

The English contest has already begun!

And Tang Li was absent.

Shen Yu was shocked, and then turned his eyes silently to the puppy-like villain. His expression was cloudy and uncertain, scaring the little villain who had always feared his anger.

“Shen Yu…” Tang Li went to pull Shen Yu's on hand.

Shen Yu did not shake him off, nor did he speak.

“I couldn't leave you alone in the hotel.” Tang Li explained softly, “And that game doesn't matter to me. Even a single hair on your head is more important than a silly game.”

After listening to Tang Li's true feelings, Shen Yu felt frustration gnawing at him. His breath, which had just been held in his stomach, disappeared completely in an instant.

He found that Tang Li usually looked good and obedient, but sometimes, he could be extremely stubborn. Once he had decided on something, no matter how you tried to persuade him, he will not change his mind.

“I'm not alone.” Shen Yu released a sigh and asked, “Where's Uncle Zhang?”

Tang Li answered, “Uncle Zhang went out to buy breakfast.”

It seems the little villain already had thought about this.

Shen Yu didn't want to argue with Tang Li on this issue. He just regretted that he was no good at out talking Tang Li.

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to teach Tang Li a good lesson, but in less than a minute, he was dispelled by Tang Li's quick wit.

What's the difference between this and being a paper tiger?

No…

A paper tiger can also shake in the wind. Maybe in Tang Li's eyes, he is a dog that can be dealt with at any time.

Think of here, Shen Yu's heart became more depressed.

Ten minutes later, Uncle Zhang came back with their meal.

After Shen Yu had eaten the meal and the medicine prescribed by the doctor, but still felt uncomfortable, so he lay down in bed and rested.

He slept on and off for a day, during which time Tang Li and Uncle Zhang stayed in the room. In order not to disturb his rest, the two men walked lightly and even tried to keep their breath to a minimum, as if they wished to communicate directly with their thoughts.

Shen Yu slept lightly and opened him eyes several times when Tang Li and Uncle Zhang were not paying attention. Naturally, he took note of their careful movements with amus.e.m.e.nt. It was funny and somewhat touching.

Ah…

It feels good to be cared for.

In the past, he used to be alone. He watched friends and cla.s.smates around him form a family one after another. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel lonely in his heart.

However, he didn't like to let others know how lonely and pitiful he was, nor did he like to be looked at with sympathetic eyes. So he kept his thoughts in his heart so that no one knew his worries.

His friends would all say that he is a person who is used to being alone and enjoys loneliness. Unfortunately, no one knew that he is in fact very afraid of loneliness.

The next day in Jincheng.

Shen Yu spent the whole time in bed.

On the morning when the students were supposed to leave Jincheng, the vice princ.i.p.al and teachers came to see Shen Yu. It was a pity that such a good opportunity to socialize with Shen Yu was wasted by an unexpected accident. Moreover, Tang Li's performance on the first day of the compet.i.tion could rank first among all the students partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion.

When they came over, it seemed like Shen Yu was very self-conscious.

At last, Tang Li interrupted their gus.h.i.+ng words with a tough att.i.tude and drove them away with a tiger's face.

Shen Yu sat by the bed and watched with laughter as Tang Li came back in a raging manner. The low pressure emanating from all over his body could almost fill the whole room.

“Come here.” He waved to Tang Li.

The shadow in Tang Li's eyes disappeared in an instant. He rushed to the bedside and sat on the chair next to it, quietly waiting for Shen Yu's speech.

Shen Yu stretched out his hand to rustle Tang Li's hair.

Tang Li did not intend to resist at all. Instead, he squinted his eyes in joy, as if he enjoyed Shen Yu's fingertips shuffling between his hair.

“I don't blame you.” Tang Li was a little annoyed when he remembered what those people had just said. “It was I who chose to not to go, and it was only because you want me to, that I came to the compet.i.tion in the first place. I was not interested in these things at all.”

“Oh?” Shen Yu said, “What are you interested in?”

Tang Li thought about it carefully and was suddenly anxious that Shen Yu wouldn't like his honest answer. Instead, he replied, “As long as you are with me, even things I don't like will become interesting.”

Shen Yu chuckled and rubbed Tang Li's hair again. His hand slid down the little villain's face. He pinched his cheek lightly. “Your mouth must be smeared with honey.”

But soon, the smile on Shen Yu's face disappeared. His face gradually became serious. He put down his hand and looked at the red cheeked little villain. He said, “Although I offered you a helping hand when you needed it most, it does not mean that you should take me as the center of your life. You have your own life trajectory. So look forwards, not backwards.”

Hearing this, Tang Li blinked vacantly. As he seemed to comprehend the words, the joy overflowing in his eyes slowly started dissipating.

The two people stared at each other for half a day.

Tang Li shook his head and said, “I don't understand what you're talking about.”

“You're still young. So it's okay if you don't understand.” Shen Yu took Tang Li's hand and squeezed it gently. “Later you'll understand.”

Somehow, Tang Li felt a panic after hearing these words. He wanted to refuse Shen Yu's words, but before he could speak out, he saw Shen Yu close his eyes.

“I'll sleep a little longer. Wake me when it's time to leave.” Shen Yu said.

Tang Li stared at Shen Yu's pale, bloodless face. After hesitating for a long time, he swallowed back the words that had poured into him mouth.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Tang Li woke up Shen Yu and, after tidying up, set off for the airport.

When they arrived at the hotel lobby, the vice princ.i.p.al and the rest of the teachers and students had been waiting in the lounge with their respective suitcases.

These past few days, Shen Yu had hardly interacted with them, so he didn't know what the result of the compet.i.tion were. Looking at their reaction, it is estimated that they are both happy and sad.

As the group of people were waiting outside the hotel for a bus, Yi Heng, who had not seen him for a long time, came quietly over to Shen Yu and complained, “You have finally appeared. I thought I would not see you until we returned to S city.”
