Grandfather Shen's birthday banquet arrived as scheduled.
In order to look elegant, Shen Yu had to temporarily abandon his crutches and sit in the wheelchair that Uncle Zhang had prepared for him.
At seven o 'clock in the evening, all kinds of luxury cars drove into the hotel parking lot in an orderly manner.
Shen Yu sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room on the eighth floor. Through the clean and bright glass, he could see the busy streets and the city's night scene. The bright lights reflected in his eyes.
After a long time, Shen Yu sighed.
He was still very repulsed by the upcoming social event.
Fortunately, this birthday banquet was said to be hosted by him, but in fact, Uncle Zhang and Kang Lin had put in a lot of effort. Especially in the later stages, it was almost the two of them who were busy. Shen Yu, on the other hand, was quite lazy.
At this time, Uncle Zhang and Kang Lin were accompanying Grandfather Shen to welcome the guests in the hall. Shen Yu couldn't move, so he planned to wait until the banquet was halfway through and then quietly go down.
Time ticked by.
Shen Yu had nothing to do, so he picked up the tablet to play the TV series.
At this time, he suddenly heard a slight knock on the door.
Shen Yu paused, his fingertips tapping on the tablet. After pausing the TV series, he listened carefully for a while.
Sure enough, there was a sound.
But it wasn't the knocking sound that Shen Yu had thought before. It was like the sound of a card scratching the door lock, which was a little uncomfortable to listen to.
Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, then put the tablet on his lap on the coffee table. He got up and staggered to the door.
He opened the door.
He saw a beautifully dressed woman standing outside. She was slightly bent, holding something in her hand and was fiddling with the door lock.
Her long black hair, which was as beautiful as seaweed, slid down her shoulders. She stared at the door that suddenly opened with wide eyes. After a while, she finally reacted and looked up to glare at Shen Yu.
"Who are you?" The woman asked. A smell of alcohol hit his face.
Shen Yu frowned and subconsciously took two steps back. He didn't answer but asked, "Who are you?"
"I am …" The woman stood up straight and spat out three words. It should be her name.
Shen Yu saw clearly that the card in the woman's hand was a room card.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone unconsciously softened. "This is my room. You're in the wrong place."
“？” The woman's mouth was wide open. Her delicate and pretty face with light makeup was filled with drunkenness and confusion. She tilted her head and murmured after a long time, "So I came to the wrong place. No wonder I couldn't open the door …"
Shen Yu agreed and was about to close the door.
He had never cared about these kinds of things. Moreover, the other party was a drunk woman. If something happened to her, he was afraid that he would never be able to clear his name.
But before closing the door, Shen Yu suddenly remembered that this hotel belonged to the Shen Family's company and was under his management.
Shen Yu stopped himself from closing the door. As he spoke, he reached out to take the room card from the woman's hand.
"Let me see which room you're in. I'll get the hotel staff to send you back to your room later."
However, before his fingertips could touch the card, he saw the woman's wrist turn and avoid Shen Yu's hand in time. Her flexible movements were completely different from her clumsy and slow movements just now.
Shen Yu was stunned.
As soon as he spoke, the woman suddenly seemed to sober up. Even her eyes became clear. She blushed and thanked him. Then she ran away in her high heels.
Shen Yu was speechless.
He looked at the woman's running figure and felt strange.
Shen Yu shook his head and closed the door. He turned around and staggered back to the wheelchair and sat down.
It wasn't until he picked up the tablet and replayed the TV series that Shen Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong. The hotel had closed a week ago, which meant that there were no guests in the hotel now.
The hotel's management staff and staff had already taken care of the whole hotel. Except for the hall on the first floor and the coffee shop on the second floor, the other floors were temporarily closed.
Even the eighth floor where Shen Yu was staying was a temporary accommodation for guests after the birthday banquet.
So —
How could that woman appear on the eighth floor?
She even had the room card of the hotel …
The more Shen Yu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He quickly put down the tablet and maneuvered the wheelchair to the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a tall figure standing outside.
It was not the woman just now, but Tang Li in a suit.
Tang Li raised his hand and seemed to be about to knock on the door. However, the door suddenly opened. He was stunned for a moment and then smiled. "Can I come in?"
"Of course." Shen Yu sat in the wheelchair and turned sideways to make room for Tang Li to come in.
Tang Li asked, "Were you going out just now?"
"Oh, no." Shen Yu closed the door and followed Tang Li. He thought for a while and decided not to tell Tang Li about the woman. He found an excuse. "I seemed to have heard something, so I opened the door to have a look. I didn't expect to see you."
Tang Li turned his head and looked at Shen Yu with a smile. "Is that so?"
This sentence seemed to make Tang Li's mood very happy. His black eyes were filled with bits and pieces of light, and the corners of his mouth were raised at an obvious angle. His originally stern face seemed to be covered with a layer of gentle light.
Tang Li was used to being expressionless. He rarely showed such a heartfelt smile.
Only in front of Shen Yu would he smile so unguardedly.
Shen Yu raised his head, and Tang Li's smiling face was reflected in his clear eyes. For some reason, the nervousness that had arisen because of that woman suddenly disappeared.
Tang Li was like a calming pill.
It relieved him from some kind of anxious mood.
Even so, Tang Li was still sensitive to Shen Yu's strangeness. He half-squatted in front of the wheelchair, gently held Shen Yu's hand on his knee, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yu came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "Nothing."
Tang Li knew that Shen Yu was lying, but since Shen Yu didn't intend to say anything, he didn't ask further.
She didn't ask any more questions and changed the topic, "Shen Rong also came from Jin City tonight."
Hearing this, Shen Yu frowned. "I didn't invite him."
And he had discussed it with Old Master Shen in advance. He wouldn't allow any relatives of the Shen family to bring Shen Rong to the birthday banquet.
Tang Li squeezed Shen Yu's hand and sighed softly. "He brought a friend with him. The security guards stopped them from entering, so they kept guarding outside the gate. Grandpa Shen couldn't stand it, so he let them in."
Shen Yu: "A friend?"
Tang Li nodded. "A musician."
Even if Shen Yu was reluctant, Shen Rong had already come. He couldn't drive the two people out in front of so many guests. He had no choice but to wave his hand.
Forget it.
Let's just treat Shen Rong as nothing.
It wasn't until ten o 'clock in the evening that Uncle Zhang came to inform Shen Yu to come downstairs.
Shen Yu was wearing a light gray suit. His figure was thin and weak, and he was sitting in a wheelchair. The moment he was pushed out of the elevator by Uncle Zhang, he attracted the attention of many guests present.
This birthday banquet was a dinner party to put it nicely. In fact, everyone knew that it was just a high-class social event. The guests who came here didn't want to get close to the Shen family, but they also wanted to expand their interpersonal relationships.
Those who came sincerely to congratulate Old Master Shen on his birthday were probably only a few of Old Master Shen's good friends.
Many people around stared at Shen Yu, like a fox staring at a rabbit. They looked stupid.
Unfortunately, before they could find a chance to strike up a conversation with Shen Yu, they watched helplessly as Old Master Shen, who was not far away, happily called over this "cooked one".
Old Master Shen was wearing a red and black birthday suit. He looked very divine, and his voice was particularly loud and clear. He was surrounded by a group of old friends and juniors, and he happily waved at Shen Yu.
"Xiao Yu." After Old Master Shen saw the wheelchair under Shen Yu, his eyes suddenly widened. "Aren't you able to walk? Why are you sitting in a wheelchair again? "
Shen Yu smiled and politely replied, "It's not convenient to walk with a cane. It's more convenient to sit in a wheelchair in such an important occasion."
"So that's how it is. My grandson is really considerate." Old Master Shen's reproachful face instantly turned into a deeper smile. Then he turned to his old friends and said, "My Xiao Yu can walk for a long time. There's no problem for him to live a normal life. But the doctor said that it will take a few years for him to reach the same level as before."
An old friend hurriedly said, "It's good that he can recover. It's just a matter of time. A few years will pass in a flash."
The others echoed, "Yes, in the blink of an eye, we're already so old."
After sighing with emotion, Old Master Shen gradually changed the topic to another direction. He sighed heavily and said sadly, "My Xiao Yu is almost thirty years old. Now he doesn't even have a partner to marry. I'm already so old, but I still can't sleep at night because of this."
Another old friend hurriedly said, "Oh, what a coincidence. My niece is also single. She just came back from studying abroad last year …"
As he said that, he pulled out a tall woman who was standing behind him. The woman had short hair and light makeup. She politely and somewhat shyly nodded at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu: "…"
He coldly looked at Old Master Shen and his old friend echoing each other. Without saying a word, he turned the wheelchair around and left.
Old Master Shen's anxious voice came from behind him. "Xiao Yu, don't go. If you're not satisfied, grandpa will change another one for you. What do you think of this girl?"
As he said that, he heard the voices of other people urging their juniors. "Why are you still standing here? Go and talk to him. What era is it now? Girls should be more proactive … "
Shen Yu almost spat out blood.
He inexplicably felt like he was in a vegetable market. Those girls were cabbages in the market, and he could choose as he pleased.
Shen Yu felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was holding back his anger. He kept speeding up the wheelchair and came to the side of Tang Li who was in front of the bar.
Tang Li was sitting on a high chair with one leg bent and the other leg resting on the ground. His posture was slightly languid, and his expression was so cold that it was as if there was a layer of cold mist lingering around his face. There were four or five young men and women gathered around him, and they were chatting about something with him.
Seeing Shen Yu approaching with an unfriendly expression, those young men and women immediately scattered like a flock of birds.
Tang Li saw Shen Yu's depressed expression and laughed. The low pressure around him also dissipated in an instant.
He asked, "Are you angry?"
Shen Yu pursed his lips and was silent for a long time. Then he said helplessly, "Sure enough, I'm not suitable for this kind of occasion."
"Yes." Tang Li reached out and grabbed Shen Yu's wrist. He gently pinched it twice as if he was playing with it. "You looked very bad just now. Look at how fast those people ran when they saw you."
Only then did Shen Yu belatedly recall the reactions of those young people. For a moment, she felt even more depressed. She rubbed her face and said to herself, "No matter how angry I am, I wouldn't scare them to that extent, right?"
People who didn't know better would think that a ghost had come …
Tang Li raised the corner of his mouth and looked down at Shen Yu's small movements. Some kind of surging emotion in his chest almost broke free and rushed out. God knew how much effort it took him to suppress that impulse.
But unconsciously, his hand caressed Shen Yu's cheek.
His fingertips were cold from the cold wind. When he touched Shen Yu's hot skin, it was as if there was an electric current that directly hit the deepest part of his heart.
At this moment, he wanted so much time to stop.
He didn't have to take his hand away anymore.
However, this idea could only be a thought. Before Tang Li had time to take his hand away, he felt a cold wind brushing past his fingertips. When he reacted, he found that Shen Yu had already retreated a distance in the wheelchair.
Tang Li's outstretched hand was still frozen in the air. After a long time, he clenched his five fingers and slowly withdrew his hand.
