Shen Yu came in carrying a tray with thin porridge and side dishes on it.
"What are you doing?" Shen Yu placed the tray on the bedside table, squatted down, and asked him, "Do you think you can break the chains with your bare hands?"
Yu Tang's expression froze. He immediately put down the chain, took half a step back, and increased the distance between himself and Shen Yu.
This was entirely a spontaneous reaction of his body.
After all, anyone who was treated like that yesterday would instinctively want to avoid the perpetrator if they saw him again.
Shen Yu's expression darkened.
He reached out to help Yu Tang up: "Get up first, the ground is cold."
Yu Tang avoided his hand, struggled to stand up by herself, and leaned against the bedside.
He didn't actually want to be angry with Shen Yu.
After all, he was in the wrong in this matter.
He was the one who tried to take advantage of and deceive Shen Yu first, so there's nothing wrong with the other party punishing him like this.
But for some reason, even though I understand the道理 (principles/reasoning), I can't calm down when I see people.
"What right do you have to throw a tantrum at me?" Seeing him like this, Shen Yu could no longer remain calm: "You schemed to get close to me, played me for a fool, and didn't even give me a single explanation. Do you think you're right?"
Upon hearing Shen Yu say such a thing, Yu Tang could no longer suppress his anger.
He was silent for a moment, then looked up at Shen Yu and spoke.
"I was wrong."
“I admit that I have lied to you for the past six months. If it has hurt you or made you feel uncomfortable, then I can apologize to you.”
After saying that, he sincerely said to Shen Yu, "I'm sorry..."
Then, he changed the subject and continued, "But I also ask myself, during the time I've been by your side, I haven't done anything that I truly feel sorry for you."
"I'll consider it an apology for what you did to me yesterday, as I owe you something."
At this point, he pointed to the chains on his feet and said seriously, "So, I also hope that you can put yourself in my shoes, respect me, and not control me in this way."
“I feel this is an insult to me.”
This was the first time Yu Tang had spoken from the bottom of his heart since he came into this world.
In front of Shen Yu's main personality, he kept pretending to be compliant in order to win the other party's favor.
I've never been myself again.
Since Shen Yu had seen through his plan, he decided to give up and stop pretending.
He confronted Shen Yu and revealed his true thoughts.
Shen Yu remained silent.
A pair of eyes stared intently into Yu Tang's brown eyes, finding their own reflection within them.
After a long pause, he suddenly laughed.
"So this is the real you."
Yu Tang thought he would be angry, but Shen Yu was not only not angry, he laughed uncontrollably.
Looking at Yu Tang as if he had discovered a new continent, he said, "I accept your apology."
"But on the condition that you stay by my side."
"Be with me with your true self."
Yu Tang was completely bewildered.
After he finished speaking, he was prepared to be pinned down on the bed and raped by Shen Yu.
But this kid once again defied expectations and forgave him just like that?
Is this still the same arrogant and domineering Shen Yu from before?
Could it be that someone possessed my soul?
"What's wrong?" Shen Yu asked him, "Do you think I'm possessed by a demon, which is why you believe your nonsensical explanation?"
They installed surveillance in my mind again without my permission!
"Just like I realized I didn't understand you." Shen Yu took out the key to the chain from his pocket, squatted down, and unlocked the chain on Yu Tang's foot: "Actually, Yu Tang..."
His voice was deep. He removed the chains, looked up at Yu Tang, and smiled: "You don't understand me."
Chapter 23
Died a second time for the villain (23)
Although Shen Yu no longer locked Yu Tang up, he still kept him in the villa, ostensibly to let him recuperate, but in reality, it was a form of imprisonment.
However, Shen Yu didn't do anything inappropriate to him after that, and all the scary toys were put back into the box and pushed under the bed.
At the time, Shen Yu emphasized, "You'd better stay home and not wander around."
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee these things will stay under the bed forever."
After saying this, he left the villa and didn't return for a week.
The system told him that Shen Yu had gone to deal with Han Zichen.
The Shen family and the Han family have had conflicts since Shen Jianmin's generation.
After all, two tigers cannot share one mountain. Given Shen Yu's current trajectory, it's inevitable that he will infringe upon the interests of the Han family.
This has led to constant disputes between the two companies.
In addition, the incident involving Yu Tang, although it didn't cause any major problems, thoroughly angered Shen Yu.
The system suspected that he was determined to kill Han Zichen.
Staying at home alone isn't so bad.
After all, Yu Tang's health is extremely weak right now, and he is not suitable to go out at all.
Instead of following Shen Yu around, I'd rather stay home and play some games.
He was in good form that day, and it looked like he was about to take on 5 opponents, wiping them out completely, when Shen Yu suddenly called.
"Grass!"
Yu Tang's vision went black, and without thinking, he immediately hung up Shen Yu's call and switched back to the game to prepare for another battle.
But he found that his Li Bai had collapsed to the ground, completely dead.
Meanwhile, the mage Xiao Qiao was dancing on his grave while sending him messages cursing: "AFK dog, Sima."
Shen Yu called again. Yu Tang's facial muscles twitched, and he almost uttered a curse, but he held back: "Hello?"
As a result, the people on the other end heard his obviously unpleasant tone.
But you could practically picture his smug, infuriating smile even from the other end of the phone.
Shen Yu asked him, "What does it feel like to miss out on a pentakill? Can you tell me?"
"Damn it!" Yu Tang instantly flew into a rage: "You fucking did this on purpose!"
"Hahaha, of course I did it on purpose." Shen Yu sat in a chair with a laptop in front of him, the screen clearly showing Yu Tang sitting on the sofa in the living room of the villa.
Seeing the man so angry he was about to jump up and down, his smile deepened.
"But I didn't expect you to hang up on me over a game."
"After a few days apart, you've really reverted to your old ways, completely disregarding me."
After he said that, Yu Tang became dejected.
In fact, he had been thinking about what Shen Yu meant by what he said that day.
After they made love, Shen Yu's attitude towards him changed drastically.
Not only did she never say another word to him expressing her fear of him disappearing or asking him not to leave her.
Furthermore, he was given a great deal of freedom, which puzzled him greatly.
Was it just his imagination that Shen Yu hugged him and almost cried that day?
If that's the case, then it's good for both of them.
After all, he couldn't make any promises to Shen Yu. If the other person's true character was one of being able to let go easily, then Shen Yu wouldn't be too heartbroken after his death.
"Mr. Shen, when did you become so self-aware?"
Yu Tang continued, "In my eyes, that game just now was definitely more important than you."
"Next time, if you dare to call me on purpose while I'm playing games, don't blame me for cursing your ancestors for eighteen generations."
Shen Yu was speechless for a moment before replying, "You really don't hold back when you speak."
Yu Tang laughed out loud: "Thank you for the compliment, I am honored."
Shen Yu reached out a finger and gently stroked the smiling face of the man on the screen, and also curled the corners of his mouth.
He really liked Yu Tang's current lively and expressive face.
Compared to the man who always went along with him and was gentle to him before, the current Yu Tang truly made him feel like he could touch the other person.
He will not let Yu Tang go.
He has plenty of time to soften a man's heart and make Yu Tang fall in love with him too.
"I'm going home tonight." Shen Yu withdrew his hand and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I want to eat your cooking for dinner."
Yu Tang was taken aback: "What time will you be back?"
Around seven o'clock.
What would you like to eat?
Shen Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Tomato and egg noodles."
Yu Tang thought to himself that Shen Yu never seemed to get tired of tomato and egg noodles, even after eating them so many times.
He agreed verbally, saying, "Okay, then come back on time and I'll prepare it for you."
