Chapter 58: Delighted (1)
A long time seemed to have passed by the time Shen Yu woke up.
The car was still moving around, wandering aimlessly without a destination. It’s very quiet in the car, even the sound of one’s breathing could not be heard.
Shen Yu blinked. He lifted his head only to discover that there was a hand under his neck all this time. He was stunned for a moment and reacted when he saw that it was Tang Li’s hand.
“Are you awake?” Tang Li’s voice sounded in his ear.
“En…” Shen Yu sat up and kneaded his neck in a daze. It was not as sore as he thought it would be. It must be due to Tang Li who held and supported him with his hand.
For a while, Shen Yu was shocked. Then, he turned to look at Tang Li, “What time is it now? How long have I been sleeping? “
Tang Li leaned on his side slightly with his right hand motionless on the back of the chair. His posture looked awkward, it was not very comfortable.
“It was not long ago.” Tang Li smiled. In the dim light, his dark eyes fixed on Shen Yu. The arm placed behind Shen Yu was never meant to go down.
Shen Yu took out his cellphone and looked at the time.
It had only been a half an hour.
It was indeed not too long.
Shen Yu breathed out a sigh of relief. Soon, his attention fell on Tang Li’s arm, “What happened to your hand?”
“It’s a bit numb.” Tang laughed unconcernedly, “It’s nothing.”
Shen Yu thought that he had just slept for half an hour. However, Tang Li has kept himself motionless for half an hour. For a moment, his heart felt bitter. He’s already moved by Tang Li’s considerate act but at the same time, he was also annoyed at himself. It was not easy for him to see and meet Tang Li, yet he unexpectedly fell asleep on the road.
“You should’ve woken me up.” Shen Yu sighed, “We haven’t arrived at the hotel yet?” he asked.
Tang Li looked toward Zhou Che, “We should arrive soon.” He said with an uncertain tone.
After hearing this, Zhou Che hurriedly agreed and said, “We’ll arrive soon. We’ll take a turn here and drive another kilometer.”
Shen Yu was silent for a moment, “…Are we going in circles?” he dumbfoundedly asked.
“No. It’s Brother Zhou [1] who’s going the wrong way.” Tang Li immediately answered. He placed a big pot on Zhou Che’s head [2], his expression did not change, “Brother Zhou, remember to concentrate on the road next time when you drive.”
{TN [1]: Tang Li called Zhou Che 周哥/ Zhou Gē means big/older/elder brother Zhou. Please take note: calling someone brother or sister does not mean they are related in Chinese culture
[2]: It means Tang Li put the blame on Zhou Che}
Zhou Che, “…”
He really wanted to come forward and directly say——
Was it not you, Tang Li, who wanted me to drive straight ahead?! Why is it that it turned out to be my mistake?!
However, from the rearview mirror, Tang Li’s cold stare made Zhou Che subconsciously swallow his saliva along with the words he wanted to say.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the hotel.
Tang Li took the lead to get out of the car. He kept the car door open for Shen Yu and helped him down. He then turned around and leaned toward the window of the driver’s seat. In a low voice, he requested Zhou Che to help him purchase a set of clothes for Shen Yu to wear.
In fact, in a strict sense, Zhou Che was Tang Li’s immediate superior.
But ever since Tang Li joined their team, he often occupied the leading position. Zhou Che, as a big boss, had taken Tang Li’s words as an imperial edict. As the time passed, employees in the company regarded Tang Li as another boss.
As for the genuine big boss Zhou Che, he served Tang Li as a chauffeur for this matter….
It’s already a common occurrence.
Moreover, there were even a lot of people privately discussing whether Zhou Che liked Tang Li or not. After all, his words and manners resembled like he’s Tang Li’s lap dog…
Of course, Zhou Che as a person involved didn’t know that the story of love and hatred between him and Tang Li had been published in 800 versions. He earnestly noted down Tang Li’s instruction seriously while nodding his head like a pounded garlic, “Okay, I’ll go now.” he said.
Tang Li patted Zhou Che on the shoulder, sincerely he said, “Thank you, Brother Zhou.”
Zhou Che waved, “You’re welcome, Brother Li [3].”
{TN [3]: As expected, Zhou Che called Tang Li, 栗哥/ Li Gē means big/older/elder brother Li. lol}
Afterward, both of them became silent.
Tang Li touched his nose [4] awkwardly, “You can just call me by my name.”
(TN [4]: Tang Li’s gesture something like picture below)
“…All right, Tang Li.” Zhou Che said.
Having said that, Zhou Che looked at Tang Li’s face, which was obviously much younger and more handsome than him. In a split second, his heart cried a river.
Comparing one person to another really made someone die of anger [5].
{TN [5]: Can’t compare cuz there would always be someone better}
Shen Yu stood behind Tang Li. He vaguely heard Tang Li and Zhou Che’s conversation. The doubts in his heart grew heavier but he didn’t say anything.
Tang Li helped him into the hotel. Originally, he wanted to carry Shen Yu on his back or hold him in his arms, but Shen Yu refused adamantly.
“You are still young.” Shen Yu used this excuse to prevaricate Tang Li.
Tang Li was very dissatisfied. He lightly pinched Shen Yu’s palm, “I’m grown up now.”
