Chapter 61: Complaining (1)

Originally, Shen Yu merely wanted to get it over by making a joke.

Though, who knew that Tang Li’s expression barely turned back to normal. It turned red as a monkey’s butt once again after hearing him say that. Even the tips of his ears are red.

He stood there motionless, feeling hopeless for a whole minute.

“N-No.” Tang Li stuttered. He was vexed as he evaded eye contact and he scratched his head impatiently, “I haven’t thought about that yet.”

Shen Yu was looking at Tang Li’s blushing face and he chuckled. He waved his hand and said, “I’m just playing with you.”

Tang Li, “…”

He was relieved and finally had the courage to face Shen Yu. His black eyes were filled with helplessness and also mixed together with some other things, but he concealed it so well.

Shen Yu lowered his head, put his fist on the lips and chuckled [1].

{TN: [1] Shen Yu’s posture sth like this}

Shen Yu slowly restrained his laughter as he laughed for quite a while. He wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes. He sighed and said, “You are an adult now. You ought to know a few of these things.”

But he didn’t know if there was a chance to see him marry and have children in the future.

He reckoned that it was only a little hope…

After all, this little villain’s love & romance would bump into the south wall later.

“Just go to sleep.” Shen Yu smiled at him, “Good night. See you tomorrow.”

Tang Li’s embarrassed facade earlier gradually faded to a neutral expression. He looked at Shen Yu for a moment and opened his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t say it.

“Good night.” Tang Li said as he closed the door.

Click. It sounded light.

The room became completely quiet.

Shen Yu sat on the sofa for a while. Then, he got up and walked to the bedside.

The next day.

Shen Yu was woken up by a loud knock at the door. Outside the door, he could hear a man’s voice loudly saying, “Mr. Shen, have you woken up?”

It was Zhou Che’s voice.

Shen Yu got out of bed and put on his clothes. He staggered and stumbled as he went to open the door.

Opening the door, Zhou Che’s smiling face was the first one to come into view.

“Good morning, Mr. Shen.” Zhou Che lifted his both hands to show Shen Yu the food box he was carrying. “Tang Li said you are not used to the hotel’s breakfast meal. So, I bought some from a nearby family restaurant. I’m unsure if it’s to your liking.”

Shen Yu was overwhelmed by the favor. He quickly stepped aside and said, “Sorry for troubling you.”

Zhou Che smiled, revealing a missing tooth, “It was no trouble.”

Shen Yu looked around and peeked his head outside the door. However, he couldn’t find Tang Li’s figure and couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

He slowly closed the door. He turned around and saw that Zhou Che already placing the meal box and disposable chopsticks on the table.

“Come and have a taste?” Zhou Che excitedly ushered, “I frequently visit the restaurant. It’s a very well-known family restaurant and the business is booming.”

The corner of Shen Yu’s mouth lifted, “Okay.”

Once he sat down, he asked Zhou Che, “Oh, by the way, is chestnut up yet?”

Zhou Che scratched his head and replied to him, “Earlier, Tang Li already called me. He’s probably busy and would look for you later.”

In the end, Tang Li didn’t show up even until Zhou Che and Shen Yu finished their breakfast.

Once his task had completed, Zhou Che cleaned up the remains on the dining table agilely. After greeting Shen Yu with a smile, he ran like the bottom of his feet had been smeared with oil [2].

{TN: [2] It was a metaphor. It means Zhou Che ran really fast}

It hadn’t been two minutes, there was a knock at the door.

Shen Yu thought that it was Tang Li. He almost knocked against the top of the shoe cabinet due to his unsteady steps as he hurriedly went to open the door. Fortunately, he supported himself by the wall and stabilized himself.

He straightened his sorry figure and opened the door, only to see a service personnel in hotel attire. She held the dry and clean clothes in her hands as she handed it to Shen Yu while smiling.

“Mr. Shen, these are the clothing Mr. Tang gave us last night for laundry.”

Shen Yu was stunned for a good while. Only then he took his clothes from her hands.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”
