Shen Yu smiled and said, "Didn't I see you now?"
He answered perfunctorily.
Yi Heng seemed to be not very satisfied with Shen Yu's words, but he didn't know what to say.
In fact, even if Shen Yu ignored him, he had no position or qualification to criticize Shen Yu. After all, there was no special relationship between them, unlike the relationship between Tang Li and Shen Yu …
Thinking of Tang Li, Yi Heng's eyes suddenly dimmed a little, but he still maintained an innocent smile on his face.
Yi Heng said, "I heard that you were sick. I wanted to see you, but Tang Li kept stopping me."
"Oh?" Shen Yu said lightly, "Maybe it's not convenient."
Yi Heng was stunned. He didn't expect that Shen Yu still looked cold and unapproachable even though he had taken the initiative. Suddenly, the smile in his eyes disappeared.
He tilted his head, approached Shen Yu, and asked in an extremely serious tone, "Do you hate me?"
Hate was not enough.
It was just that he didn't like it.
Shen Yu answered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, Yi Heng was the male protagonist of this novel, and he had the halo of a protagonist. He would try not to make enemies if he could.
Just as Shen Yu was struggling with how to reply, he suddenly heard a burst of slightly hurried footsteps behind him. Before Shen Yu could react, a tall and thin figure had already blocked in front of him.
"He doesn't necessarily hate you, but I hate you very much." Tang Li didn't hide the strong disgust in his tone, and stared coldly at Yi Heng.
After that, Tang Li turned around and stuffed the mineral water he bought into Shen Yu's hand.
The mineral water was frozen, and the cold feeling eased Shen Yu's hot mood a lot. He grabbed Tang Li's wrist from behind, gently squeezed it twice, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Chestnut."
Tang Li's cheeks were slightly red, and the gloominess that rose when she faced Yi Heng just now instantly disappeared.
At this moment, Uncle Zhang came over and said, "Sir, the car is here."
Shen Yu nodded. "Let's go."
Before leaving, Shen Yu glanced at Yi Heng, who was standing opposite Tang Li. He saw that Yi Heng was also staring at him, with some indescribable emotions in his eyes.
The teacher standing by the roadside called Yi Heng.
Yi Heng responded and turned to leave.
The second before he turned his head, he quickly returned to his usual expressionless face, as if the smiling face was just a mask on his face that could be removed at any time.
Obviously, Tang Li also noticed the change in Yi Heng's expression. His lips curled into a mocking smile.
But when he looked at Shen Yu, his smile instantly returned.
Shen Yu: "…"
When it came to changing faces, the male lead and the antagonist were really good at it.
·
The English competition in Jin City would only be held for two days. Originally, they could have gone back after staying in Jin City for two days. However, Shen Yu suddenly fell ill and had to delay their trip.
The vice-principal wanted to curry favor with Shen Yu, so he asked the teachers and students to stay in Jin City for a few more days. Of course, all the expenses would be reimbursed by the school.
Back at the airport in S City, Shen Yu looked at the vice-principal's flattering smile and felt sorry. He immediately decided to donate two more dormitory buildings.
Anyway, the Shen family had the most money.
When Shen Yu told the vice-principal about this decision, the vice-principal was surprised and happy. He excitedly held Shen Yu's hand and refused to let go for a long time.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhang used a lot of effort to pry open the vice-principal's plier-like hand.
Shen Yu smiled helplessly and subconsciously turned to look for Tang Li. However, he suddenly met Yi Heng's gaze.
Yi Heng stood not far behind him, sitting lazily on top of the suitcase. He was wearing a white shirt and jeans, and his sickly pale face was completely drained of color.
His facial features were extremely delicate, but unfortunately, he looked too unhealthy.
There was some doubt in Yi Heng's eyes, and his gaze was full of inquiry as he looked at Shen Yu.
The two of them looked at each other.
Shen Yu felt a little embarrassed.
Just as he was looking away, he suddenly saw Yi Heng grinning at him. Then, he said with a very envious expression, "You are so good to Tang Li …"
There was a distance between them. In the bustling airport hall, Shen Yu naturally couldn't hear Yi Heng's voice. However, Yi Heng spoke very simply. He could guess what he said just by looking at his expression.
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment.
Before he could respond, Yi Heng had already turned his head and looked in another direction expressionlessly.
"…"
Previously, he couldn't figure out Yi Heng's thoughts. When they first met, Yi Heng was very cold to him. However, after arriving in Jin City, Yi Heng suddenly became warm to him.
It wasn't until now that he vaguely realized Yi Heng's intentions.
Perhaps it was because his original family had a lot of influence on him that he always unconsciously looked for the same kind and a sense of belonging. In his eyes, Tang Li, who had the same tragic past as him, was the same kind.
Unfortunately, Tang Li, whom he regarded as the same kind, "betrayed" him.
Because Tang Li came to the Shen family …
After thinking about these things, Shen Yu felt a little helpless and a little angry. He didn't like Yi Heng's selfish idea of torturing others. Why was Yi Heng still living in the past, but Tang Li must also be tortured by the pain of the past?
What's more, Shen Yu didn't think that Yi Heng's experience was much more tragic than Tang Li's.
There were many people in the world who were more miserable.
After saying goodbye to the vice principal and the others, Shen Yu left with Uncle Zhang and Tang Li. He didn't look at Yi Heng again and made up his mind to take a detour around Yi Heng from now on.
·
After leaving for nearly a week, the company was piled up with large and small affairs again. Near the end of the month, Shen Yu also needed to check the accounts of the two dessert shops.
Shen Yu began to get busy again.
Although Shen Yu didn't spend all his energy on the dessert shops, he also spent a lot of time thinking about the signature dishes and studying the business model. Although the business of the two dessert shops was not booming, they still had a group of old customers.
Now the two dessert shops were completely on the right track. Except for checking the accounts of the shops at the end of every month, Shen Yu almost never asked about the dessert shops and left them to Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang could feel that Shen Yu attached great importance to the two dessert shops, so he tried his best to take care of the business of the shops. However, at the same time, there were many doubts in his heart that he couldn't figure out.
One afternoon, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but say to Shen Yu, "Sir, the value of any of your projects is equivalent to the profits of the two shops for more than ten years. Isn't it a waste of time to spend on the shops?"
Shen Yu was sitting in a wheelchair, facing the bookcase that occupied the entire wall. He was holding a half-opened book in his hand and turned to look at Uncle Zhang when he heard Uncle Zhang's words.
"It's not a waste." Shen Yu smiled and said, "The baking is mine."
Uncle Zhang was speechless.
He wanted to say that Shen Yu didn't seem to be doing this out of interest at all, but as if he was leaving a way out for himself.
But this sentence was too straightforward. Uncle Zhang hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to say it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished complaining, he heard Shen Yu sighing sadly, "Besides, what if the Shen family goes bankrupt? People always leave a way out for themselves. "
Uncle Zhang, "…"
At this moment, Uncle Zhang almost suspected that he had accidentally said what was in his heart.
Shen Yu looked up and saw Uncle Zhang's nervous appearance. He knew that he had guessed the other party's thoughts. He suddenly felt funny and hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously."
Uncle Zhang's dignified expression didn't become relaxed after Shen Yu's comfort. He was silent for a long time and said seriously, "The Shen family has a big business and a strong foundation. It's not a small family that was established in a few years or more. Even if something happens in the future, it will definitely be able to survive. It's said that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse."
Shen Yu smiled and said, "I hope so."
But no one could say for sure what the truth was.
If the phrase "a starving camel is still bigger than a horse" could be used in any situation, there wouldn't be so many bosses who jumped off a building to commit suicide because of the company's bankruptcy.
Moreover, in the original story, it was clearly written that the Shen family would go bankrupt.
Shen Yu had thought of protecting the Shen family by himself. Unfortunately, he was just a dessert master who only knew how to draw. When he first came to this world, he didn't know anything about the company's affairs.
He studied overtime, worked hard, and exhausted all his perseverance, but he still struggled to walk.
Uncle Zhang had taken care of Shen Yu for a long time. Naturally, he knew that Shen Yu worked very hard every day. There were even many things that he needed Kang Lin's help.
Uncle Zhang understood. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of the worst result.
In the silence, the two people stared at each other for a full minute. In the end, Shen Yu burst out laughing. He pointed at Uncle Zhang and laughed for a long time. He laughed until tears came out from the corners of his eyes.
Uncle Zhang was confused.
"This is the first time I've seen you so sad." Shen Yu raised the back of her hand to wipe away the tears that streaked across her cheeks. She coughed twice with her fist before she regained her composure and said, "You look the best when you're acting cool with a cold face."
Uncle Zhang instantly broke down and laughed out loud.
The two people laughed silently at each other for a while. Shen Yu closed the book in his hand and handed it to Uncle Zhang, "Put this in Chestnut's room."
Uncle Zhang looked at the prominent words "Management" on the cover and hesitated slightly, "Chestnut is only eleven years old. Isn't it too early to learn this knowledge?"
Shen Yu shook his head, "It's never too early for him to do anything."
Uncle Zhang didn't understand the meaning of Shen Yu's words, but he didn't say anything. He took the book and left the study.
·
In the final exam of the next semester of the fifth grade, Tang Li once again got first place in the grade. He was only seventeen points away from the full score. Among the students of the same grade in the city, he was also the best.
The principal warmly invited Shen Yu to participate in the school mobilization meeting. He sat at the parent-teacher table and watched Tang Li as the student representative to give a speech. He also specifically said that he would prepare a bouquet of flowers for Shen Yu and arranged for the staff to lead him to deliver the flowers to Tang Li.
Shen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
If the other parents in the audience saw this scene, they would be very depressed. The limelight of the mobilization meeting was completely stolen by him and Tang Li.
The principal said a lot of things, but in the end, Shen Yu politely declined.
It wasn't that he was afraid of causing complaints from other parents. He just didn't want to see Yi Heng, who was in the same school.
He heard from the principal that Yi Heng not only got first place in the grade again, but also that Yi Heng was the only one who got into the top five and won the championship trophy when they went to Jincheng to participate in the English competition.
Therefore, the school's arrangement was that it would be Yi Heng's turn to go on stage after Tang Li finished his speech. Unfortunately, Yi Heng's parents were busy with work and couldn't be there.
After hearing these words, Shen Yu, who had just politely declined, suddenly became confident.
"Don't try to persuade me." Shen Yu lowered his voice and said sternly, "Do you think I'm not busy?"
If he went, he was afraid that Yi Heng would target him again.
It was better to let the male protagonist and the villain of this story stare at each other at the mobilization meeting. It would be very fair if no parents were present.
Originally, the principal wanted to persuade Shen Yu again. However, after sensing Shen Yu's anger, he suddenly didn't dare to say anything. He carefully said a lot of comforting words and then quickly ended the call.
In the blink of an eye, it was the summer vacation.
Shen Yu canceled all the tuition classes and private teaching classes for Tang Li. He spent a lot of money to hire two retired employees to explain business and management to Tang Li with their practical experience.
In order to ensure that the knowledge Tang Li learned could be fully utilized, Shen Yu arranged for Tang Li to work in the Shen family's company during the summer vacation. Every day, Tang Li would work tirelessly with Shen Yu's second assistant. He didn't get a single cent of salary, only lunch and dinner when he worked overtime.
Most of the time, Tang Li was in a state of confusion.
He was less than twelve years old. Although he was smart and precocious, he didn't know the operation model and business projects of the Shen family's company. He could only draw insignificant social experience from the second assistant.
Over the past two months, Tang Li had become a circle darker and thinner.
Shen Yu looked at the dark and thin Tang Li and felt very distressed. However, he didn't regret his original decision at all.
He didn't really want Tang Li to learn anything from the work. He just wanted to increase the ability of Tang Li to resist pressure. Now, he was supporting Tang Li. In the future, once Tang Li had a relationship with the Tang family, there was no turning back.
Fortunately, Tang Li didn't have any complaints.
Although he didn't know why Shen Yu did this, since Shen Yu said so, he would do his best to act according to Shen Yu's request.
·
After the summer vacation, Tang Li ushered in the life of a sixth-grade elementary school student.
However, the burden on his shoulders didn't relax. Instead, it became heavier and heavier.
Shen Yu began to let him touch computers.
The touch here didn't mean to learn to use computers, but to learn coding and other skills at a deeper level.
When Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen learned of Shen Yu's plan, they were so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground.
Previously, Shen Yu had arranged for Tang Li to work in the company during the summer vacation. She had been through wind and rain, and her skin had been exposed to the sun. However, they didn't express their opinions and only thought that Shen Yu wanted to train Tang Li's ability to endure hardships.
But now, Shen Yu arranged for Tang Li to learn coding. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen, who felt sorry for their child, discussed for a long time and decided to persuade Shen Yu together.
That afternoon, Shen Yu instructed several workers to empty out the unused guest room and temporarily renovate it into Tang Li's small study.
After the workers finished their work and left, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen slowly walked to Shen Yu's side.
Shen Yu still wanted to check the computer, but in the end, he saw two figures standing quietly beside him from the corner of his eyes. He was startled and complained, "When did you guys get here? You didn't make any sound when you walked. "
"Just now," Aunt Chen muttered.
After that, Aunt Chen quietly elbowed Uncle Zhang twice.
Uncle Zhang hesitated and looked down at Aunt Chen several times. Finally, under Aunt Chen's urging, he braced himself and said, "Sir, we want to discuss the matter of young master Tang Li with you."
"Hmm?" Speaking of Tang Li, Shen Yu, who was originally absent-minded, suddenly came to his senses. "What's wrong with him?"
Uncle Zhang said, "Coding is something that some people need to learn when they go to college. I'm afraid it's a little early for young master Tang Li to learn this. And next year is the comprehensive examination for junior high school students. I think young master Tang Li should concentrate on his studies."
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Chestnut's academic performance is very good. Before school started, I asked him to do the comprehensive examination papers for junior high school students last year. The total score is not low. It won't be a problem for him to go straight to junior high school."
Aunt Chen couldn't help but say, "Actually, we just feel sorry for our child …"
After a pause, she said, "When my child was Chestnut's age, he didn't even know how to do housework. He only knew how to do housework all day long."
Hearing this, Shen Yu's expression showed some helplessness. He shrugged and said, "I didn't ask Chestnut to do housework."
Aunt Chen, "…"
Uncle Zhang next to them saw that Aunt Chen was confused by Shen Yu's words. He had to help her and said, "What we mean is that young master Tang Li is still young. Maybe he shouldn't bear so much pressure. A teenager is at the age of playing wildly. It's not too late to arrange these courses when he goes to high school …"
"No." Shen Yu shook his head and interrupted Uncle Zhang. "It'll be too late by then."
Uncle Zhang couldn't understand Shen Yu's meaning. "Young master Tang Li will only be fifteen or sixteen years old when he goes to high school. It's the beginning of his life. How can it be too late?"
Because he was the villain.
Because he was destined to have a tragic ending.
Because the male protagonist of the original novel had already appeared, and the female protagonist would also appear in their lives at any time.
Because there were too many things, Shen Yu had to prepare in advance.
There was also the Tang family, who was quietly staying in C City. According to the plot line, the time when Tang Li and the Tang family had disputes would be three or four years later. The situation was very urgent.
Sometimes when he thought of these in the middle of the night, Shen Yu would even be so anxious that he couldn't sleep.
In the past, he only worried about his own fate, fearing that one day he would be killed by Tang Li. Now he was even worried about the fate of Tang Li. He didn't want to see the child he raised go down the wrong path.
Many messy thoughts flashed through Shen Yu's mind, but he didn't reveal a word to Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen.
He gradually fell into silence until he heard footsteps behind him.
"Shen Yu!"
Tang Li had just come out of the bedroom after taking a shower. He was wearing a loose shirt and shorts, and his slightly curly hair was particularly fluffy because of the wind. He looked like a puppy waiting for its owner to pet him at any time.
His voice was clear and pleasant, like a gust of spring wind, which instantly blew away all the worries that lingered between Shen Yu's eyebrows.
"You're here." Shen Yu turned to look at Tang Li, stroked his hair, and smiled gently. "The workers have moved everything in. Do you want to go in and have a look?"
"Of course." Tang Li revealed a joyful expression, but his pitch-black eyes were like a calm lake without ripples.
Obviously, Tang Li was not interested in the things in the temporary study. In order to please Shen Yu, he deliberately pretended to be very happy and interested.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen had been eating rice for decades. How could they not see Tang Li's true thoughts?
They looked at each other, and Uncle Zhang said hesitantly, "Young Master Tang Li …"
Before Uncle Zhang could finish his words, Tang Li seemed to know what he was going to say. He turned around and ran into the study.
"…" Uncle Zhang paused, so he swallowed all the words that had already reached his mouth back into his stomach.
After Shen Yu drove the wheelchair and followed Tang Li into the study, Uncle Zhang turned his head and smiled bitterly at Aunt Chen.
"This is his own choice." Uncle Zhang said, "We can't interfere."
Aunt Chen nodded, but she felt a little strange.
She always thought that children like Tang Li, who had experienced a lot, would have more of their own ideas, and it would be difficult for them to listen to other people's teachings.
But Tang Li was completely different …
He almost regarded Shen Yu's words as an imperial edict. Even if Shen Yu asked him to jump off a building, he would immediately find a roof and jump off without hesitation.
·
Shen Yu was challenging Tang Li's limits.
He packed Tang Li's daily life to the brim. When Tang Li opened his eyes in the morning, there were a lot of things waiting for him to finish. He could only relax a little before going to bed at night.
To be fair, if Shen Yu was Tang Li, he would never be able to last so long.
So he was waiting for Tang Li to take the initiative to tell him that he was tired. Only when he knew where Tang Li's limits were, could he make better use of his time to arrange Tang Li's life.
He did not expect to wait for five years.
In five years, Tang Li had been promoted from the sixth grade of primary school to the second year of high school. Not only had he completed every extra-curricular task that Shen Yu had given him, but his academic results had also always been at the top of the grade.
It seemed that in the blink of an eye, he had grown from a thin and weak child to a tall and thin boy.
Shen Yu did not even have time to react.
Tang Li, who was only in his second year of high school, was already more than 1.8 meters tall. He was half a head taller than Shen Yu, who was only about 1.78 meters tall.
The author has something to say: I've finally grown up.
