"That might not be an accident," Han Zichen's words reminded Vasily.
Thinking of Yuan Chi's arrogant demeanor, he had a vague suspicion in his mind.
“Country L has been making some behind-the-scenes moves in recent years. It’s no coincidence that criminal police officers have infiltrated the ship this time.”
"We need to be more cautious in taking action, always have a backup plan, and absolutely cannot give L country any leverage."
A malicious glint flashed in Han Zichen's eyes, but he quickly covered it up and said to Vasily, "Yes, I understand."
“You’d better understand.” Vasily looked down at Han Zichen, his voice cold: “To me, you’re nothing more than a guide dog from Country L.”
"As a dog, you should have the self-awareness of a dog. If you dare to disobey my orders again, I will have a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead."
Han Zichen looked up and saw the man's gray-green eyes. He shuddered and nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
In late autumn, darkness falls early, and the evening glow shines through the gaps in the curtains, casting a small halo on the ground.
The warm interior was filled with the sound of soft breathing, peaceful and tranquil.
The blankets suddenly twitched, and Shen Yu abruptly opened his eyes, breathing heavily and suppressing his emotions. After seeing the face of the man beside him, he reached out to touch Yu Tang's nose and felt his warm breath, which calmed him down slightly.
He gently pulled Yu Tang's hand, stroking it finger by finger, then leaned in and kissed the man's cheek and forehead.
Until Yu Tang was woken up.
Only then did I realize that my behavior had gone too far.
"Sorry for waking you up," Shen Yu asked him. "Do you want to go back to sleep?"
“Even if I try to sleep again, you’ll wake me up.” Yu Tang said helplessly.
He reached out and ruffled Shen Yu's hair, asking, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Shen Yu was taken aback and turned his face away: "No..."
"You're sweating profusely, and you still say you're not?" Yu Tang touched his damp temples, and he grabbed her hand: "It's just because it's too hot that I'm sweating."
"Stubborn..."
Yu Tang didn't dwell on this issue for too long.
After sleeping for a while, he felt hungry. Counting the time, the two of them hadn't eaten since last night, so he nudged Shen Yu, who was clinging to him, and asked, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Shen Yu answered almost without hesitation: "Tomato and egg noodles."
Chapter 14
The villain is resurrected for the second time (14)
Both Yu Tang and Shen Yu were taken aback when he said that.
"Okay, I'll make it for you." Yu Tang stood up, rubbed Shen Yu's face like petting a cat, and kissed him: "I'll make my beloved little princess's favorite tomato and egg noodles..."
Shen Yu blinked, his face turning a little redder: "I told you, don't always talk to me like that, like you're coaxing a child..."
Yu Tang knew what he was thinking, so she didn't argue. She just said "okay, okay" and put on her slippers before walking out.
Shen Yu followed him like a shadow, took out an apron, and tied it on for him himself.
Then I opened the refrigerator and put all the ingredients I needed on the counter.
Then he took out knives, a cutting board, and prepared a pot. Just as he was about to pour water in, he saw Yu Tang looking at him helplessly: "Are you going to do this or am I going to do it?"
Shen Yu had gotten used to serving Yu Tang. Only now, after being reminded, did he realize the problem.
He quickly withdrew his hand: "You do it..."
"I want to eat what you make."
Yu Tang found him so adorable.
The contrast between his appearance and his personality is perfectly embodied in Shen Yu.
It made him so itchy that he couldn't resist leaning in and kissing the man's cheek.
"Then go outside and wait for me. I'll call you when it's ready."
“Okay…” Shen Yu nodded and obediently went out.
But he deliberately left the kitchen door open.
Why aren't you closing the door?
"I don't want to close..." Shen Yu answered truthfully, "I want to see you all the time."
Yu Tang met his earnest eyes and felt a pang of sadness, so she let him be.
After dinner, Shen Yu lingered on Yu Tang.
The two snuggled up on the sofa watching TV.
The TV series is showing a talent show.
Teenagers and young men in their twenties, harboring dreams of becoming idols, poured their sweat onto the stage.
"They're quite hardworking." Yu Tang leaned against Shen Yu's chest, lazily watching the boy on TV. "Their dancing is pretty good too."
"But in the end, they can only become playthings of capital."
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, his fingers darting under Yu Tang's armpit, playing with the man's fingers, and said lazily, "The entertainment industry is too complicated. It's not just about having talent to climb to the top. These people who want to debut have to put in a lot more behind the scenes, things that others can't see."
“That person…” Shen Yu pointed to a handsome young man on the screen, whose nameplate read Gu Ze: “I’ve seen him with the old chairman of Yucheng Entertainment.”
"He lived a very hard life."
Shen Yu's words caused the atmosphere in the room to freeze.
"Yu Cheng Entertainment is notorious for its ruthless exploitation. These people know very well what money and fame mean behind it."
Shen Yu put his arm around Yu Tang and said, "So, Tangtang, you don't need to pity them."
“They are like me; they chose this path themselves, and they have to keep going even if it's tough. Whatever happens, they deserve it.”
“I have no sympathy for them.” Yu Tang looked at Shen Yu: “Neither do I have any sympathy for you.”
He put it bluntly.
"So, you don't need to keep trying to make me hate you."
"I like you, that's all. No matter what you say, my feelings will never change."
Shen Yu's thoughts were exposed.
He was speechless for a moment, and his hand holding Yu Tang's stiffened.
“I’ve heard that the Shen family is doing charity work,” Yu Tang said. “They’re building Hope Primary Schools in impoverished areas to help children get out of their predicaments.”
"You also established a charitable foundation to help terminally ill patients pay for medical expenses..."
"That's for money laundering." Shen Yu pressed his forehead against Yu Tang's shoulder and said through gritted teeth, "Yu Tang, do you think you know me that well? All capitalists do that kind of thing; it's just to cover up the dirty work they do behind the scenes..."
"Then let's expose it."
Yu Tang interrupted Shen Yu: "It's not just about exposing the Shen family, but also about exposing all the capitalists and bureaucrats you've seen, heard, and come into contact with."
"Shen Yu, you couldn't make your own choices in the first half of your life."
But since your fate has already been decided to be death, then in the remaining time before bidding farewell to this world…
He turned around, cupped Shen Yu's face in his hands, forced the man to look at him, and revealed a carefree and fearless smile, saying, "Let's make a scene!"
"You've been in this industry for so long, you know their inner workings best." Yu Tang's eyes shone brightly: "If you want to do it, even if you die, you can take a bunch of people down with you. Doesn't that sound incredibly satisfying?"
Yu Tang was incredibly excited when he thought of this idea.
Because once he decided to do this, he could legitimately extend the time he spent with Shen Yu!
Rather than letting Shen Yu turn himself in alone, it's better to drag a bunch of people down with him!
Shen Yu stared blankly at the man in front of him.
It was as if it were unbelievable that such words came from Yu Tang's mouth.
But soon, he thought of something and laughed again.
And he couldn't stop laughing.
Only when Yu Tang was completely flustered and embarrassed by him did Shen Yu push the man down onto the sofa and say, "Tang Tang, it was my fault."
“You’ve never been a hothouse flower.”
“He used to be so weak and sick, yet he dared to challenge me. He acted one way in front of me and another behind my back. He stole my USB drive and put on an act with me. He made me completely fooled. Now he’s reborn and he’s got guts.”
"How could they possibly listen to me obediently?"
Yu Tang was caught off guard and pushed down by him. Hearing Shen Yu bring up the old matter again, she felt a little embarrassed and turned her head away.
"What's wrong? Still feeling shy?" Shen Yu laughed. "I still remember what you said when you were playing games in Luochen Square: 'Damn it, you dare to steal my kills.'"
"Alright!" Yu Tang's face turned bright red.
"Don't mention that kind of thing!"
With his toes curled up tightly, Yu Tang felt like he wanted to escape from this planet.
"So I'll listen to what you say." Shen Yu stopped teasing him and gently stroked Yu Tang's cheek, replying, "Besides, it's really not my style to go and turn myself in or surrender all by myself."
“Those bureaucrats who used me for favors, capitalists whose hearts are dirtier than mine, and hypocrites who disregard human life—I can’t let them off so easily.”
"Go ahead and make a fuss..." Shen Yu's eyes lit up with a smile, dispelling his previous dejection and as if he had been injected with new vitality.
Bright and flamboyant.
He bit Yu Tang's lip hard, tasting the blood, before looking up and saying something malicious.
"This time, I'll take you crazy."
Chapter 15
The villain is resurrected for the second time (15)
The next day at noon, Yu Tang woke up from his sleep.
After staring at the ceiling for a while, he clicked his tongue.
