Shen Yu immediately ran over to him like a puppy and sat down, shifting his bottom over and over again.
She didn't stop until she touched Yu Tang, then slowly, slowly rested her head on Yu Tang's shoulder, her eyes fixed on the beautiful Barbie princess on the TV, her expression one of utter satisfaction.
He felt extremely happy right now.
He was full and satisfied, hadn't been beaten, and had a handsome older brother to keep him company. The older brother smelled nice, and it felt so comfortable to lean against him.
I really hope every day can be like this from now on.
Before they knew it, it was already past midnight. Shen Yu fell asleep leaning against Yu Tang, his gloved hand still clutching the hem of Yu Tang's clothes, as if afraid that he would run away.
Yu Tang turned off the TV and, with great effort, carried Shen Yu to the bedroom and placed him on the low bed.
Thinking of the pitiful look on Shen Yu's face when he asked if he had any more candy after finishing it, he couldn't help but laugh again.
After laughing for a while, I suddenly felt an itch in my throat and started coughing involuntarily.
Afraid that his cough would disturb Shen Yu, he quickly went to the bathroom.
He covered his mouth, but still couldn't stop coughing.
It was accompanied by chest tightness and discomfort.
He didn't realize something was wrong until he coughed up half a mouthful of blood into the sink.
While washing his hands, Yu Tang asked the system: System, what's wrong with me?
Although he has been coughing from time to time recently, this is the first time he has coughed up blood like today.
"Hey, host, have you forgotten?"
The system said: "You are destined to die of lung cancer in this world."
Therefore, it's perfectly normal for your body to be experiencing initial symptoms right now.
His reminder made Yu Tang realize that there was indeed such a thing.
Yu Tang sighed: This body has really suffered a lot.
[But don't worry, host, I'll prescribe pain-free medication for you from now on, so you won't suffer from the pain!]
Yu Tang: Then I'll leave it to you.
Opening the bathroom door, Yu Tang bumped right into Shen Yu, startling him: "Weren't you asleep?"
But Shen Yu's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry: "I woke up and didn't see you, I thought you were gone..."
He hugged Yu Tang, choking back tears, and said, "Brother, please, please don't go. Stay with me forever, okay?"
Yu Tang immediately softened.
He patted Shen Yu on the back and coaxed him, "Okay, okay, I'll always be with you."
In the end, he had no choice but to lie on a bed again. Shen Yu said that he was uncomfortable wearing a tight long gown and that he needed to change into pajamas and take off his gloves.
Helpless, Yu Tang could only change his clothes while praying that Shen Yu wouldn't choke him or get angry with him again tomorrow.
After changing his clothes, Shen Yu nestled comfortably in Yu Tang's arms. He remembered Barbie in the movie, where Barbie would tell children a story, so he begged Yu Tang to tell him one too.
Having no other choice, Yu Tang told him a clichéd story about Sleeping Beauty.
"Finally, the prince kissed the princess awake, the curse was broken, and they lived happily ever after."
Shen Yu suddenly asked Yu Tang, "Brother, are you a prince?"
"Hmm? Why do you say that?"
"Because you are very handsome and kind, you are an outstanding person like a prince."
After saying that, Shen Yu added, "If you are a prince, then I will be a princess, waiting for you to kiss me. If you kiss me awake, we will live happily ever after."
"Wait a minute! What's a kiss?" Realizing he couldn't understand the question, Shen Yu stared wide-eyed at Yu Tang, waiting for his reply.
Yu Tang was stumped by the question.
It really feels like kids' brains are filled with a hundred thousand whys.
Curious about everything.
He was just about to tell a lie to deceive Shen Yu when he found Shen Yu closing his eyes and talking to him with great interest.
"Then please kiss me awake, okay? I'm Sleeping Beauty now, and my brother is the prince who's come to rescue me. You have to kiss me awake!"
Yu Tang paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
"If I kiss you, you have to go to sleep obediently and stop making a fuss, okay?"
"good!"
With a soft sigh, the man leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on the young man's forehead.
Goodnight, my little princess.
Chapter 11
Died a second time for the villain (11)
This time, Yu Tang didn't repeat the mistake he made last time; he woke up very early in the morning.
But when I woke up, my throat felt uncomfortable. I covered my mouth and coughed softly a few times before getting up and going outside.
Shen Yu vaguely saw Yu Tang's back and, as if possessed, reached out to grab him, but grabbed nothing.
Open your eyes wide, and you are fully conscious.
A faint lemon scent lingered in the air. Shen Yu looked at his exposed hands and surprisingly did not feel nauseous or uncomfortable as he had yesterday.
With his fingers resting on the still-warm bedding, Shen Yu suddenly felt that sleeping in the same bed as Yu Tang might not be so bad.
Song Cheng is right.
This man might actually be able to cure his illness.
However, when he saw his own silly expression on the surveillance video—clapping his hands while watching Barbie—he felt an urge to grab Yu Tang and silence him.
The video ends with Yu Tang's kiss on his forehead.
And then there's the man's words, "Goodnight, my little princess."
Even though Shen Yu had been a powerful figure in both the legitimate and criminal worlds for five or six years, and was so young that most people in the industry were terrified of him, he couldn't help but blush when he heard these words and saw the man's doting expression.
"Oh shit……"
Covering his burning face with his gloved hand, Shen Yu uttered a rare curse.
What kind of bullshit little princess is this?
Is Yu Tang tired of living? How dare he call him that?
However, despite his outbursts, Shen Yu realized he wasn't actually that angry.
I just feel hot, and my heart is beating very fast.
This was an emotion I had never felt for anyone before.
It made him inexplicably panicked.
Yu Tang knew that Shen Yu had a habit of watching the surveillance footage, and he was uneasy, thinking that he was definitely going to get scolded. But after waiting and waiting, Shen Yu didn't get angry.
But there was something in his eyes that he couldn't understand, a sharp look that made him uneasy.
After lunch, Shen Yu called him to the study.
"Mr. Shen, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shen Yu glanced at him and said, "Lock the door."
Yu Tang felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that something big might be about to happen.
But he didn't dare disobey Shen Yu's wishes, so he locked the door and went to the desk.
Shen Yu stood up and held out his hand to Yu Tang: "Help me pick them."
Yu Tang looked at Shen Yu: "Isn't that inappropriate, Mr. Shen? Don't you say you can't stand being touched by others?"
"I want to give it a try." Shen Yu was also gambling on his tolerance for Yu Tang.
"Can I accept you?"
Yu Tang was stunned, as if something had suddenly poked a hidden part of her heart.
It feels a little numb.
He had a gut feeling that Shen Yu was finally going to start trying to trust him.
Yu Tang cautiously exhaled and reached out to cover Shen Yu's hand.
Shen Yu trembled almost imperceptibly.
As the man moved, the gloves were removed.
Sunlight streamed through the blinds of the study, dappling the two of them. Shen Yu shifted his attention from his hands to Yu Tang's face.
He is extremely good at reading people and can tell what the other person is thinking from subtle facial expressions.
He thought that if it were anyone else, seeing his hands would definitely make them look uncomfortable.
They might feel disgust, pity, disdain, or ridicule.
But Yu Tang's expression conveyed only one message to him from beginning to end—natural respect.
This man doesn't wear pity or sympathy on his face.
Instead, it's about genuinely respecting and understanding him for having had such an experience.
“Yu Tang…” he couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly do you think of me?”
There are very few people he can't see through anymore.
But Yu Tang always gave him this feeling.
He didn't understand why men would treat him so well.
The other person's undisguised smile and natural doting in the surveillance video were not faked.
He was puzzled, so he could only ask.
