Tang Ming quickly recognized Shen Yu, who was next to Tang Li, and nodded to him with a smile as a greeting.
"Tang Ming sent me here just now." Tang Li seemed to notice Shen Yu's disappointment, so he explained carefully, "They have a dinner party tonight, and they need me to go back."
"They" naturally referred to the Tang family.
At first, Shen Yu didn't notice it, but now, after being reminded by Tang Li, he realized that there was a trace of alcohol on Tang Li's body.
But the smell was not melancholy. Maybe it had been processed.
Tang Li's face was pale, and he didn't look like he had drunk, but the red blood vessels in his eyes and the tiredness between his eyebrows could not be concealed.
Shen Yu knew that Tang Li's life after returning to the Tang family would be difficult, and he had already been mentally prepared. But when he saw Tang Li's sleep-deprived and tired appearance, he still couldn't help but feel distressed.
If Tang Li wanted to, he could take Tang Li home now and pretend that he had never seen anyone from the Tang family.
Unfortunately, Tang Li didn't want to.
Shen Yu sighed. Thinking of Tang Li's face, and considering that Tang Ming was not far away, he could only resist the impulse in his heart.
"Go home early." Shen Yu urged, "Don't let yourself be too tired."
Tang Li nodded obediently, "I know."
Shen Yu hesitated for a long time and couldn't help but say, "In fact, you don't have to push yourself so hard. As long as you turn back, there will be a way out."
With that, Shen Yu stepped forward to hold Tang Li's hand and gently squeezed it twice, "I am your way out."
When his voice fell, Shen Yu wanted to withdraw his hand, but Tang Li held it tightly.
Tang Li imitated Shen Yu's action just now and squeezed his hand.
"I don't want you to always be the only one who pays the price, and I'll always be like a child who can't grow up, hiding under your wings and letting you shelter me from the wind and rain." Tang Li said word by word, "I also want to be your escape route."
Shen Yu, "…"
Somehow, his eyes were a little sore.
He broke away from Tang Li's hand and pushed him, "Go, Tang Ming is still waiting for you."
Tang Li nodded..... Although he looked at Shen Yu, he still turned around and walked to Tang ming.
Shen Yu didn't want to watch Tang Li leave, so she quickly turned her head and returned to her car.
.
It was already one o 'clock in the morning when they arrived at the Shen family's house.
Since that incident, Shen Yu transferred Uncle Zhang away, along with the two servants and several bodyguards who worked for Uncle Zhang. Now, there were only three servants in the house except for Shen Yu and Aunt Chen.
At this time, the others had already gone to bed.
Shen Yu walked to the living room and turned on the floor lamp next to the sofa. The bright yellow warm light instantly covered a large area of darkness, reflecting a curved arc in the air.
It was so quiet that even the sound of the clock on the wall couldn't be heard.
He didn't realize that the house was so quiet before …
He didn't know if it was because there were fewer people or because Tang Li moved away, but Shen Yu always felt that something was missing in this house, like the moon was missing a corner. It was a pity no matter how he looked at it.
"Tang Li …"
Shen Yu leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes, and carefully chewed on this name that occupied too much of his life.
He never dreamed that the relationship between him and Tang Li would develop to this point.
Everything was so inconceivable.
What surprised Shen Yu even more was that he didn't seem to reject Tang Li's love for him.
Whether it was love or affection, Tang Li's existence had been completely integrated into his life. If they could not be separated in this way, Shen Yu thought that he could accept it.
During this period of time, the more women he met, the more he didn't want to force himself to marry someone he didn't like. He didn't have common topics, common interests, and common experiences with those women, and he didn't want to blindly give his feelings to them.
Speaking of dating, Shen Yu felt that he was more like looking for a partner to live with.
If that was the case, why didn't he find a familiar person, understand each other, and tolerate each other to live with?
Shen Yu was a person who didn't have strong needs for a romantic life. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been single for more than 20 years before he traveled through time. He was even prepared not to get married and have children.
Now that Tang Li was with him, he didn't feel lonely.
As for children …
Shen Yu thought about it. If his relationship with Tang Li could last until Tang Li graduated from university, then they could consider adopting a child from the orphanage.
This night, Shen Yu thought about a lot of things over and over again. He also considered how to deal with the situation after his relationship with Tang Li was exposed …
The next day.
Shen Yu, who was sleeping, was awakened by the sound of his mobile phone ringing. He opened his eyes in a daze and realized that he had fallen asleep on the sofa.
There was a thin blanket on his body.
Shen Yu was stunned for a long time. Then he heard Aunt Chen's voice, "Sir, your mobile phone is ringing."
With that, Aunt Chen handed Shen Yu's mobile phone that had fallen on the sofa to him.
"Thank you." Shen Yu took the phone and looked down. It was a call from Grandpa Shen.
Ever since Shen Yu agreed to take a picture and put it into action, he received Grandpa Shen's concerned phone calls almost every day, asking about the progress of the picture.
&n
Shen Yu was annoyed. He directly pressed the mute button, stuffed the phone into his pocket, got up, and walked upstairs.
Aunt Chen reminded him from behind, "Sir, we have prepared breakfast. Remember to come down for breakfast after you wash up."
"I'm not eating." Shen Yu waved his hand without looking back. "I'll sleep for a while. If Grandpa Shen calls you, just tell him that I'm not at home because I have something to do."
Aunt Chen replied crisply, "Okay."
Shen Yu went back to his bedroom, washed up briefly, changed into comfortable clothes, and lay down directly on the bed. Not long after, he fell asleep again.
He seemed to have slept for a long time.
When he opened his eyes again, the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window had been dyed dark blue. The scattered stars were like scattered chess pieces, covering the entire night sky.
The light in the room was very dim. Shen Yu almost thought that he had slept all the way until the next morning.
At this moment, a light knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. Then he heard Aunt Chen outside the door carefully ask, "Sir, are you up? It's time to eat. "
"I'm up." Shen Yu replied.
At the same time, he felt strange in his heart.
In the past, Aunt Chen would only knock on the door to remind him to eat breakfast. She had never called him at lunch or dinner time. Usually, when he was not busy, he would go to the dining room on time.
However, Shen Yu did not think too much about it. He quickly got up, tidied up, and opened the door to go out.
Aunt Chen waited nervously outside the door. Her expression was complicated. She whispered, "Old Master Shen is here."
Shen Yu: "… When did he come?"
Aunt Chen: "I've been waiting in the living room for almost two hours. He said that you should rest more, so I didn't come up to call you."
Shen Yu and Aunt Chen went downstairs together. Even though there was a distance between them, he could see Old Master Shen's smiling face. He suddenly had an ominous feeling.
"Xiao Yu, come here quickly." Old Master Shen hurriedly waved at Shen Yu. He smiled and asked, "Guess who I met at the dinner party yesterday?"
Shen Yu did not want to know, nor did he want to guess.
However, when he met Old Master Shen's bright eyes, he had to guess. "An old friend?"
"Oh, you guessed it right." Grandpa Shen slapped his thigh and changed the topic abruptly. "That friend of mine lives abroad, but his granddaughter lives in America for a long time. I've met that girl before. She has a good personality and is very likable. She should be the type that you like …"
Shen Yu could not help but interrupt him. "Grandpa."
Old Master Shen was in the mood to talk when he was suddenly interrupted. He was a little unhappy and immediately blew his beard and glared: "What? You don't want to meet her again? How many times have you rejected me? Moreover, you haven't met that girl in person. How do you know that she is not suitable for you? "
"…"
Shen Yu had a headache and held his forehead.
Here it comes again.
It's the same words again.
As long as he showed a little bit of unwillingness, Old Master Shen would use these words to make fun of him. He never got tired of it.
Of course, even if Old Master Shen was not annoyed, he was annoyed.
"I already followed your arrangement to meet a girl yesterday. Even if you are in a hurry to let me get married, at least give me some time to rest," Shen Yu said gloomily.
"It's just a meal. I'm not asking you to do manual labor. Why do you need to rest?" Old Master Shen blamed him. "You are almost 30 years old, and your love life is not stable yet. If your father is here, he will definitely blame me for not disciplining you well."
Shen Yu was so angry that he laughed. "Does urging me to get married and have children mean that you are disciplining me well?"
"It's not about getting married and having children. It's just that you are old. You have to find someone to accompany you. We can't protect you forever. If you encounter any problems in the future, who will help you?"
Speaking of this, Old Master Shen suddenly felt sad.
Previously, Shen Yu was worried about Du Pingting who had eloped with another man. He was unwilling to accept other women introduced by them. Old Master Shen could understand Shen Yu's feelings at that time. Later, after experiencing the death of his daughter and son-in-law, and Shen Yu becoming disabled, he became more and more determined to find a partner for Shen Yu.
Most of the time, the only person who could accompany you was your partner. Whether it was elders or friends, there would be a time when they had to leave.
Old Master Shen paused and asked again, "You are not satisfied with the girl yesterday, right?"
Shen Yu said helplessly, "She is just a high school student. She is only half a year older than Chestnut."
Old Master Shen said, "Why don't you go and meet the girl I mentioned just now? What if you two fall in love?"
Shen Yu shook his head. "Definitely not."
Old Master Shen stared. "Why?"
"… Because I have already found a partner. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be together in half a year."
Hearing this, Old Master Shen's anger and depression were swept away. His whole face became radiant. He asked happily, "Which family is the girl from?"
"It's not a girl from any family. It's our son." Shen Yu scratched his head and smiled shyly. "It's the Tang Li."
Old Master Shen's expression froze. "…"
