In a few days, it would be Old Master Shen's birthday banquet. As the only grandson, Shen Yu would organize the banquet.
Due to the tight schedule, Shen Yu spent almost all his energy on the design and layout of the banquet. The banquet would not be held in the Shen family's house, but in a hotel owned by the Shen family's company. As early as a month ago, Shen Yu instructed the hotel's management staff to suspend business for a week at this time and concentrate on decorating the banquet venue.
As for the guest list —
Shen Yu had a lot of headaches over this matter.
When he first took in Tang Li, Old Master Shen wanted to arrange a girlfriend for Shen Yu, but Tang Li used all kinds of tricks to evade him.
Later, Shen Yu directly told Old Master Shen that he had promised Tang Li that he would not find a girlfriend before Tang Li became an adult.
At that time, Old Master Shen was angry for a long time because of Shen Yu's words. He kept blaming Shen Yu for being stupid and ruining his marriage for a child he took in halfway.
Shen Yu was not angry. He quietly listened to Old Master Shen's scolding, and then slowly said, "Grandpa, didn't you ask me to take good care of Chestnut? I've been doing what you said. "
Hearing this, Old Master Shen was so anxious that he blew his beard and glared. He picked up the tissue box on the coffee table and threw it at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu did not dodge, and the tissue box hit him right in the middle.
It didn't hurt anyway.
"You're really pissing me off! I asked you to take care of Chestnut, but I didn't ask you to not get married and have children for Chestnut! Do you plan to spend the rest of your life with him? Chestnut may not be willing. In the future, Chestnut will find a girlfriend and prepare to get married and have children. You can wait to die alone! " Old Master Shen pointed at Shen Yu and scolded, "It's your father who listened to your outrageous words. He must break one of your legs!"
Shen Yu had an absent-minded smile on his face. He did not listen to Old Master Shen's words at all. He sighed and said, "They don't need to do anything. My legs are no different from being broken."
Old Master Shen was speechless.
Old Master Shen was a typical example of not eating. Although he usually scolded and beat Shen Yu, and when they met, he would also angrily complain that Shen Yu didn't come to see him much. However, once he saw Shen Yu's sad face that was full of self-abandonment, he would suddenly burst like a balloon that had been punctured by a needle. His entire aura would instantly drop.
"I'll give you another five years." Old Master Shen made a final concession and said with a serious expression, "In the next five years, I won't care about you. But if you still haven't solved your marriage problem, don't blame this old man for meddling in other people's business. You're the only child of our Shen family. I'm supporting you under such great pressure. It's time for you to think about me and our Shen family."
Shen Yu pursed his lips, neither agreeing nor refusing.
And now, five years had passed.
Old Master Shen started to look for a partner for Shen Yu with great fanfare just as he had promised at the beginning.
Originally, Old Master Shen was old and didn't like those hypocritical social activities. He also didn't like to celebrate his birthday with people. But in order to find a suitable wife for Shen Yu, he still told his old friends to prepare a banquet on his birthday. He also specially asked his old friends to bring the juniors of suitable age — whether it was a daughter, a granddaughter, or a niece. He didn't refuse anyone who came.
Old Master Shen's old friends instantly understood the meaning behind his words and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Therefore, when Shen Yu browsed through the guest list that Uncle Zhang had sorted out, she saw a lot of names that appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, these names were obviously female, and Old Master Shen had even mentioned a few of them to her a few times.
Shen Yu's face was full of black lines. He didn't need to use his toes to guess what Old Master Shen was thinking when he said that he wanted to hold a birthday banquet.
"These people —" Shen Yu used his fingertips to point twice on the guest list and drew a few circles around some of the names. He looked up and said to Uncle Zhang, "Remove their names. There's no need to send invitations."
Uncle Zhang was slightly hesitant. "They seem to be coming with their family elders. Those people are all friends that Old Master Shen invited."
"It's okay." Shen Yu waved his hand disapprovingly and laughed at himself. "Even if we don't send invitations, they will still come uninvited. I just want them to know my attitude."
"Okay." Uncle Zhang nodded in agreement.
"That's all." Shen Yu closed the guest list and handed it to Uncle Zhang. "How's the preparation at the hotel?"
Uncle Zhang replied, "The decorations have been arranged. We're just waiting for the host and performers to gather for the rehearsal. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"No need. I'm too lazy to go." Shen Yu closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. He frowned and looked tired. "Just help me keep an eye on them."
Uncle Zhang nodded, put away the guest list, and then turned and left the study.
Suddenly, only Shen Yu was left in the study. He sighed listlessly. He felt that the surrounding was so quiet that he could hear the sound of air moving. Over the years, he was used to Tang Li chattering beside him. Now that Tang Li had gone to school and hadn't come back, he felt very uncomfortable.
It was as if something was suddenly missing from his originally fulfilling life.
It was very awkward.
·
On the weekend.
Uncle Zhang drove Shen Yu and Tang Li to a scenic spot in the suburbs to see the cherry blossoms.
It was the season of cherry blossoms. There were a lot of people coming to visit. The parking lot was almost full. Uncle Zhang searched for a long time under the guidance of the staff before he found a temporarily empty parking space.
After getting out of the car, Tang Li regretted it.
He didn't expect so many people to come to visit. It was even to the point that the ticket office of the scenic spot was crowded.
Shen Yu was walking with a cane, so it was inevitable that it would be inconvenient for him to walk in the crowd.
Shen Yu next to him turned his head and saw Tang Li's unhappy face. He guessed what he was thinking, so he reached out his hand with a smile and wanted to pinch Tang Li's face. However, before his fingertips could touch Tang Li's skin, he seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly withdrew his hand. Then his hand fell on Tang Li's shoulder.
Tang Li's attention was all on Shen Yu. Naturally, he noticed Shen Yu's careful and awkward movements.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. A touch of depression flashed from the bottom of his eyes and quietly blended into his ink-black pupils.
Shen Yu didn't notice Tang Li's little mood. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "I haven't been out for a few days. I still want to come to a crowded place and experience the feeling of liveliness."
/>
Tang Li responded in a low voice and leaned against Shen Yu.
This scenic spot was a major feature of S City. Not only was the area so large that it would take a day to walk around the outer circle, but there were also cherry trees planted in every corner of the scenic spot. Even the relatively hidden toilets could see gorgeous cherry blossoms blooming next to them.
The scenic spot was also divided into popular spots and unpopular spots.
The internet famous locations had only recently become popular on Weibo. The marketing accounts claimed that it was one of the places where tourists had to check in when they came to S City. Therefore, most tourists went straight to those places after entering the park. As a result, some unpopular locations were left unattended.
Shen Yu didn't want to join in the fun. When he heard the girls passing by say so, he led Uncle Zhang and Tang Li to a sparsely populated place without saying anything.
Who knew that the scenic spot was so large?
As they walked, before they reached the destination, Shen Yu was so tired that he was panting and almost collapsed on the ground.
The amount of exercise today was really more than the usual rehabilitation exercise.
Shen Yu leaned against a tree and didn't want to walk any further.
Tang Li approached him, unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle in his hand, and handed it to Shen Yu. "Drink it."
Shen Yu realized that he had been dry for a long time. He didn't refuse. He held the two crutches with his other hand and took the mineral water bottle with his free hand. He raised his head and drank two mouthfuls of water.
When the cool liquid slid down his throat, Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He finally felt that the heat and exhaustion in his body were relieved a lot.
Shen Yu wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and reached out to ask Tang Li for the cap of the mineral water bottle.
Tang Li didn't give it to him. Instead, he asked, "You don't want to drink anymore?"
"I don't want to drink anymore."
Tang Li said, "Then give it to me."
Shen Yu thought that Tang Li meant to help him take the bottle. He thought that it was really inconvenient for him to hold the bottle with his crutches, so he handed the remaining mineral water bottle to Tang Li.
As a result, Tang Li took the mineral water bottle and drank it.
After a while, the remaining half of the bottle was emptied.
Tang Li naturally screwed the cap on the bottle, raised his right hand, and threw it up. The empty bottle drew a semicircular arc in the air, and then accurately fell into the trash can not far away.
When Shen Yu saw this scene, she felt terrible all over.
Although he didn't have mysophobia, in the process of raising Tang Li, he had been trying to avoid contact with Tang Li as much as possible.
He wouldn't give Tang Li the food that he had eaten, and he wouldn't use his own chopsticks to pick up food for Tang Li, and so on …
It wasn't because of the issue of hygiene, but because he clearly remembered that Tang Li was a very picky person when he grew up. He also had a slight mysophobia. Once, his assistant prepared a pair of unsterilized chopsticks for him, and he was scolded to tears in front of many of his business partners.
For these trivial matters, Shen Yu maintained the mentality of avoiding as much as possible.
Looking back, he saw that Shen Yu's eyes were wide open. Tang Li, who was expressionless, suddenly hooked his lips, and the smile in his eyes almost overflowed.
He imitated Shen Yu's previous actions, stretched out his index finger, and poked Shen Yu's cheek twice.
"What's wrong?" Tang Li asked.
"Oh, nothing." Shen Yu came back to his senses and blinked. He even forgot to slap away Tang Li's hand that was poking his face. He hesitated and said, "Why did you drink mine?"
Tang Li calmly withdrew his hand and said in an innocent tone, "You said you didn't want to drink it."
Shen Yu said gloomily, "I mean, I don't want to drink it now. I'll drink it later when I'm thirsty."
"It's okay." Tang Li comforted him, "When you're thirsty later, I'll go buy more."
Shen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Actually, that's not what I meant …"
Tang Li tilted his head slightly, and there was some doubt in his eyes. He expressed that he didn't understand Shen Yu's words.
Shen Yu pursed his lips, hesitated for a long time, and then whispered, "The bottle I drank from is stained with my blood. It's not very hygienic for you to drink it like this."
Tang Li suddenly laughed, and his beautiful black eyes seemed to be full of mottled light spots. He shrugged indifferently, "I don't care about that."
Besides, the one you drank was sweeter.
Tang Li added silently in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
The three of them rested in place for about ten minutes before Shen Yu said that they could continue moving forward.
Shen Yu was just about to reach for the two crutches next to him when he felt the light in front of him dim. When he reacted, the two crutches were already in Tang Li's hands.
Tang Li handed the crutches to Uncle Zhang and squatted down in front of Shen Yu, "Come up, I'll carry you."
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously refused, "No, I can walk on my own."
However, Tang Li, who was refused, didn't mean to give up. He squatted motionlessly in place, looking as if he wouldn't get up if Shen Yu didn't come up.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time under Uncle Zhang's helpless gaze. In the end, Shen Yu compromised. He staggered forward half a step and carefully lay on Tang Li's back.
Shen Yu didn't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed that when he lay on Tang Li's back, his tense body suddenly relaxed. It seemed that he was relieved, but he was still nervous and trembling a little.
Tang Li's hands went around the back of Shen Yu's knees and easily lifted him up. Then he slowly stood up, "Let's go."
Shen Yu said, "Let's go."
