Shen Yu immediately let go as if he had been electrocuted.
She was still holding Yu Tang's wrist, lying close to him.
Shen Yu had a habit of going to bed early, and Yu Tang's presence made him feel at ease. So he fell asleep after a while in silence.
Yu Tang sighed and turned to look at Shen Yu's face.
Shen Yu was sleeping peacefully, his usual indifference gone, and his face was so adorable that it was almost heartbreaking.
Thinking about today's experience, Yu Tang felt a mix of emotions and worry.
He was now certain that Shen Yu had indeed fallen for him.
The plot is probably heading into its second half.
According to the plot, he was supposed to die of lung cancer in front of Shen Yu, but he didn't actually want to do that.
He felt that this way of dying was too cruel.
So he wanted to keep it from Shen Yu, so that the other party wouldn't know that he had a terminal illness.
Once you've maxed out Shen Yu's favorability, quickly run off to some godforsaken place and wait to die.
That way, if the other person can't find him, they might forget about him and not be too heartbroken.
After all, Shen Yu wasn't a bad person by nature, and even knowing that the other party was a villain, he couldn't bear to hurt him like that.
Shen Yu usually brings Yu Tang with him when attending social events, but there are times when he can't.
The Shen family started out in the underworld, but declined by the time of Shen Yu's father, only to be revived by Shen Yu.
The Han family used to be stronger than the Shen family, but now they've been overtaken.
Moreover, the Han family has recently been working on whitewashing their business. So even though Han Zichen suffered a setback with Shen Yu, they didn't dare to make any big fuss and go toe-to-toe with Shen Yu.
They might tolerate it on the surface, but behind the scenes they would inevitably do some underhanded things, not letting Shen Yu have an easy time.
While Yu Tang was left at home waiting for Shen Yu, she secretly bought some anti-cancer drugs, deliberately changed the bottles, and carried them with her. Taking them on time helped to some extent.
The weather in June is like a child's face.
It was sunny in the morning, but it started raining heavily in the afternoon.
The wind was blowing very hard, and the lightning and thunder made it look like a scene from a horror movie.
Yu Tang took the medicine and lay in bed unable to sleep. Suddenly, he heard the door open and quickly went downstairs.
But they found Shen Yu and a group of bodyguards in the entrance hall.
He heard the soaking wet bodyguard ask Shen Yu, "Mr. Shen, shall we go see Dr. Song?"
“There’s no need…” Shen Yu pointed to the door with his cane: “You guys should leave quickly. Don’t let anyone know that I’m injured this time.”
"yes……"
The bodyguard had no choice but to agree and turned to leave.
The villa's gate was closed, but Shen Yu didn't turn on the living room lights. Instead, he looked up at Yu Tang upstairs.
"What are you still standing there for?" His voice was a little hoarse. "Get the first-aid kit."
Yu Tang belatedly went to find the first-aid kit. When she returned downstairs, she found Shen Yu sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, breathing heavily, completely unladylike.
He turned on the light and was startled.
Shen Yu's body was covered in blood, which stained his pale white robe bright red.
Yu Tang frowned: "I think I'll call Dr. Song instead."
His hand was immediately grabbed, and Shen Yu looked at him: "It's not a serious injury, just a lot of bleeding. You just need to stop the bleeding."
"But……"
"You're my servant. You do what I tell you to do. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Hearing that he could still argue back, Yu Tang believed that he was probably alright, so she started to cut his clothes with scissors and carefully disinfected, applied medicine, and bandaged the wound on his shoulder.
After treating the wound, she patiently dried his body and hair with a wet towel, changed his clothes, and then carefully helped Shen Yu lie down on the bed, supporting the side of his body that was not injured.
Shen Yu watched Yu Tang's every move, his dark eyes fixed on the gentle-looking man's face, his gaze unfathomable.
Suddenly, he grabbed Yu Tang's hand and gripped it tightly, so hard that the newly bandaged wound reopened and bled, soaking the gauze.
"Hiss..." Yu Tang gasped, "Master Shen, what's wrong?"
He frowned as he looked at the red on the gauze: "Don't use so much force, you'll reopen the wound."
Why didn't you kill me?
Shen Yu said coldly, "I've given you countless chances!"
"Why aren't you making a move?!"
"You like Han Zichen, don't you? Well, let me tell you, I'm going to kill Han Zichen right now. What will you do then?"
An unprovoked rage seized Shen Yu's mind, and the heat from the infection of his wound almost made him lose his mind.
He gripped Yu Tang's wrist tightly and demanded, "Tell me! What will you do?!"
Yu Tang was bewildered by him. Her hand hurt as if it were about to break, but she shook her head firmly: "I won't kill you."
"Now I am your person. I will not interfere in your affairs with Han Zichen, and I will not kill you for his sake."
"Ridiculous!" Shen Yu released him, leaned back against the headboard, and pointed at Yu Tang, cursing, "You're a fucking idiot!"
"Such a great opportunity, but you didn't even use it. Indecisive, cowardly, and utterly incompetent, you're just a useless piece of trash who's good for nothing..."
Shen Yu acted somewhat hysterically, completely unlike his usual self.
As he finished cursing, he gritted his teeth, lowered his voice, and gave a bitter laugh: "But I don't know why I... I'm fucking obsessed with you..."
He was injured this time because he was betrayed by a trusted subordinate within the Shen family.
If his bodyguards hadn't arrived in time, his injuries would have been much worse, and he might not have been able to escape.
Shen Yu rarely trusts others because he believes that the human heart is the most unpredictable thing.
If you're not careful, you might lose your heart and face utter ruin.
For Yu Tang, this was the first time he had boldly placed his opponent's people by his side.
Each time the man was tested, he performed flawlessly.
It shocked him and made him uneasy.
He watched helplessly as his feelings for Yu Tang deepened little by little.
Just now, when I opened the villa door and looked up to see the man standing in the bedroom light...
His heart, which had been empty for several days, suddenly felt filled with warmth.
It's like a wanderer who has found a home.
But where Yutang is, that is his home.
This feeling terrified him.
Because if you can't get many things in the first place, you won't feel bad about them.
But once you gain something, losing it will cause you a hundred or a thousand times more pain.
He...can't afford to lose.
Chapter 16
Died a second time for the villain ⩨100023456789⩨
[Host, your favorability rating has reached 80.]
The system's voice rang in his mind, bringing Yu Tang back to his senses.
He used to be indifferent to Shen Yu's sarcastic remarks, thinking the kid was just being stubborn.
But what Shen Yu was saying now truly struck a chord with him.
It made him feel pain.
"Master Shen, what are you saying..." He still wanted to play dumb, but Shen Yu didn't give him the chance.
The young man pulled him into his arms and held him tightly, his grip so strong it felt like he was being pressed into the flesh.
"Since you've chosen me, don't betray me, and don't even think about running away."
Shen Yu's voice was deep and hoarse, and the heavy emotions it contained made Yu Tang feel suffocated: "Otherwise, I'm not sure what I would do."
A thunderclap boomed outside the window, illuminating Shen Yu's pale face and revealing a deep-seated obsession and ruthlessness that chilled the heart.
That night, Shen Yu developed a high fever. After the fever finally subsided, he reverted to his childlike personality in the latter half of the night, crying and saying that his shoulder hurt. Yu Tang felt so sorry for him that she gave him some candy.
The child ate the candy, sniffled, stopped crying, hugged Yu Tang's arm, and nestled in his arms to talk.
"Brother, I saw him."
“I used to be afraid of him; I thought he was very fierce. And he even tried to kill my brother a while ago!”
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, then realized that what the child was talking about must be Shen Yu's main personality.
"But I stopped him!" Shen Yu smiled innocently at him, seeking praise: "Wasn't I amazing?"
Yu Tang ruffled his hair: "Yes, you're the best."
“But… he recently told me that he likes my brother too…” Shen Yu said with some distress, “Although I’m happy that he likes my brother, the thought that he might take you away makes me unhappy…”
Seeing him like this, Yu Tang couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Shen Yu look up at him, his dark eyes clearly reflecting his image: "So, brother, do you like him?"
At this moment, Shen Yu was just like his normal self during the day, and asked him again, "He likes you so much."
Do you like him?
After pausing for two seconds, Yu Tang shook his head.
He pressed Shen Yu's head down: "I can't possibly like him, and I have no way of liking him."
He doesn't belong to this world; he'll leave sooner or later.
