Chapter 57: The Meeting (2)
As soon as he turned around, a pair of strong hands reached out from behind and held him tightly in his arms.
Shen Yu didn’t have time to react but he just felt a fervent body attached to his back. The man behind him was so glad that he didn’t even give him a chance to breathe.
Although Shen Yu couldn’t see the person’s features but he can tell just from the scent—— that he was Tang Li.
Just after thinking about this, he heard a low voice, “Shen Yu, I miss you so much.”
It was a very familiar voice.
For almost every night, that voice appeared in Shen Yu’s dreams.
Tang Li held Shen Yu as tight as he could, like a sad child who had lost his favorite toy, holding onto it tightly once it was found. He would like to hold it all his life and never let go.
Shen Yu did not struggle, he quietly leaned on Tang Li’s arms.
Their surroundings were unusually quiet.
It was as if the sound of the wind was silently flowing.
In this type of scenario, a strong heartbeat could be heard coming from Shen Yu’s chest.
Thump, thump—
It seemed like at any second, the sound would come out from his throat.
“I can hear your heartbeat.” Tang Li suddenly spoke, his breath sprayed on Shen Yu’s neck. It tickled Shen Yu as he tried to subtly shy his neck away.
“Nonsense.” Shen Yu was happy but he also felt that it was ridiculous, “If my heart doesn’t beat, then I’m a dead man.”
Shen Yu realized later that Zhou Che was watching them from a distance. He hurriedly broke away from Tang Li’s embrace and turned to face him, with regret he said, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help you.”
“It’s all right.” Tang Li shrugged his shoulders, “Can’t you see, I safely got out.”
Shen Yu didn’t utter a word and carefully looked over Tang Li. Tang Li really did come out of Shen family’s hands safely. Not only was he not missing any limbs, but he was also in full spirit.
Tang Li wore light-colored casual clothes. His haircut and delicate facial features were shrouded in a layer of light from the moonlight. His beautiful phoenix eyes were slightly curved up like an inverted gentle smile.
He was really handsome.
On the contrary for him, he hasn’t slept well for several days in a row. There were thick dark circles under his eyes, face full of fatigue. He didn’t even take a good care of his hair.
And the reason was...
When Shen Yu ran out of Shen’s family house not long ago, he accidentally fell on the muddy grass. Up until now, his face and clothes are all covered with dried mud.
Even he, himself, could smell the unpleasant odor on his body.
Compared to Tang Li, Shen Yu thought that he was a cutting a sorry figure like a tramp. He awkwardly looked down and suddenly felt that he was at his wits’ end.
He had to admit that for the first time, he had developed something akin to inferiority in front of Tang Li.
Shen Yu reflexively took two steps back. Seeing Tang Li coming close to pull him back, he quickly hid his hands behind him and whispered, “Don’t touch me. I’m filthy.”
Unfortunately, what he said did not discourage Tang Li.
For a moment, Tang Li was stunned but then he encircled his arms on Shen Yu’s waist, he smiled helplessly, “When was I ever disgusted by you?”
“It’s not a matter of being disgusted or not...” Shen Yu sighed. He hesitated for a moment, unwilling to take Tang Li’s arms away. He asked, “What did you say to them?”
“them” naturally referred to the Shen family.
“It’s a long story.” Tang Li said, “let’s go to the hotel first. You need to take a bath and change your clothes. I’ll tell you everything later.”
Shen Yu nodded, “Okay.”
***
Zhou Che, who was sitting on the driver’s seat, watched the two people in front of him embracing each other in the moonlight, he was so shocked that his chin almost fell to his lap.
Although he had not seen Tang Li, he knew Shen Yu. When he came to S city to study at University, he had heard and read Shen Yu’s name countless times from the internet, lecturer and during discussions among his classmates.
Shen Yu was famous in S city.
It’s not because of Shen Yu’s capability, but rather because of the Shen family. The Shen’s were very rich and Shen Yu was the sole heir of the Shen family.
To meet the talk of the town in flesh. Of course, Zhou Che would naturally want to. However, he never thought that his first meeting with Shen Yu would be under such circumstances.
He didn’t know if the paparazzi would immediately go mad once they learn that Shen Yu was gay.
Just within ten minutes, Zhou Che’s mind became a complete mess. He even thought that he would be killed by Shen Yu if he knew such a private thing.
When Shen Yu was pulled into the car by Tang Li, Zhou Che immediately cleared his thoughts and sat seriously. He looked in front and pretended that he was a soulless machine.
“Zhou Che.” Tang Li who was in the back seat called out his name.
“Ah?” Zhou Che quivered, “What’s the matter?”
“Go to the Four Season Hotel.” Tang Li ordered.
“...Okay. ” Zhou Che was sure of his conjecture but he also admires the directness of these two people.
They obviously went through a lot of hardship to see each other. In the end, those ten minutes of feelings being exchanged weren’t enough. They’re going straight to the hotel to express their thoughts for each other through actions. Neither Shen Yu nor Tang Li knew that Zhou Che’s thoughts had already drifted to the Pacific Ocean.
On the way to the hotel, Shen Yu was so tired that he lied down. Tang Li reached for Shen Yu’s head and gently moved his position so he could lean on his shoulder.
Shen Yu had not yet fallen asleep. As soon as Tang Li took back his hand, his eyes opened, suddenly alert.
“It’s me.” Tang Li touched Shen Yu’s face. His words contained a hint of distress. “Go back to sleep, I’ll wake you up when we get there.” He whispered in Shen Yu’s ear.
Hearing Tang Li’s voice, Shen Yu relaxed.
“Oh...” Shen Yu was in a daze, “I’m so tired ah. Remember to wake me up.” Shen Yu unconsciously rubbed his cheek on Tang Li’s shoulder twice and soon fell asleep.
Tang Li did not let go, rather he continued to caress Shen Yu’s face. His eyes were gentle. It was as if he was holding onto a treasure that he liked so much, he was reluctant to let go.
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Che parked his car outside the hotel.
“Brother Li...”
“Shhh——”
Zhou Che turned around and saw that Shen Yu had fallen asleep on Tang Li’s shoulder. His voice stopped abruptly and he faced back front without delay.
“Keep driving.” Tang Li’s voice came from behind, “Drive along this road until he wakes up.”
