Chapter 59: The Forthcoming (1)
Tang Li went back into the room with a pile of shopping bags in his arms. As for Shen Yu, he was still hiding in the bathroom refusing to come out.
Tang Li placed the huge shopping bags on the coffee table. He picked out a set of clothes that looked comfortable and went to knock on the bathroom door.
After a long wait, Shen Yu’s nervous voice came faintly from the bathroom, “Who is it?”
Tang Li imagined Shen Yu’s expression when he voiced out those words. Instantly, the smile on his face can’t be suppressed. He laughed and said in a helpless voice, “Who else will be in this room besides the both of us.”
“Oh, it’s chestnut...” Shen Yu seemed to be talking to himself. However, he had no intention to come out and opened the door. “Is there something wrong?”
“I asked Brother Zhou to buy some clothes. You can change into them after taking a bath.” Tang Li said.
The talk ended.
Shen Yu went silent.
Not long after, a rustling sound came out from the bathroom. It seemed that Shen Yu was in a hurry to get dressed.
Tang Li listened attentively for a moment. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. Before he could make a sound, he saw the closed bathroom door quietly open to a small gap.
A dark brown eye peered through the gap.
Tang Li did not know whether to laugh or cry when he looked at Shen Yu’s peering eye. For a while, his heart went soft as if he had been stuffed with a ball of cotton.
To him, Shen Yu was like a cat.
A cat with bare fangs and brandish claws [1].
{TN [1]: 张牙舞爪/zhāngyáwǔzhǎo is an idiom means to make threatening gestures}
It tickled his heart, made him itch to pat the temperament cat, and put it into his arms, never to part again.
Within a few seconds, a thousand thoughts had already flown through Tang Li’s mind, yet he forcefully buried all of them down inside him. He smiled and laughed while remaining calm and collected facade. He handed the clothes hanging on his arms to the gap of the door.
“You can try to fit in these. If it doesn’t fit, there are also various clothes and sizes.”
“Thank you.” Shen Yu said gratefully.
Shen Yu retreated from the door. Two seconds later, a clean arm stretched out from the crack of the door.
“...” Tang Li watched silently as the hand fumbled in the air.
Just when Shen Yu’s hand was about to touch the clothes he handed over, Tang Li suddenly thought of something and swiftly pulled his hand back for a bit.
Shen Yu didn’t notice Tang Li’s actions. He thought his hand wasn’t extended enough, so he simply stretched out his entire arm.
This time, Tang Li could see it clearly.
The smooth and slippery arm.
If he was not mistaken, Shen Yu should have already taken off his clothes in the bathroom.
Tang Li could naturally think, the reason why Shen Yu took off his clothes. He sighed. Somehow, he grumbled in his heart that Shen Yu still treated him as a child.
No...
To be precise, the complaint in his heart will never fade away.
He was already able to stand on his own, yet in Shen Yu’s mind, it seems that he had always been that ten years old when he first came to the Shen family. So, even if he encountered difficulties, Shen Yu would unlikely choose to ask him first for help if something had happened.
Tang Li kept enduring and restraining himself. In the end, he couldn’t hold back. He shoved the clothes into Shen Yu’s hand and grabbed the bathroom door abruptly before Shen Yu could pull it back.
“Tang Li! What are you doing!”
Shen Yu was scared out of his mind with frantic shouting as Tang Li opened the bathroom door with an unyielding attitude.
The first thing that came into view was his fair body that seemed to have little to no fat. Under the bright light, it could be described as a bouquet of white flowers.
However, Shen Yu quickly took the clothes to cover his body.
“Did I let you in? Get out!” Shen Yu’s face was brimming with shame and anger. He continued to raise his voice. His face flushed as he yelled at Tang Li, “You, get out!”
“I...”
Tang Li just wanted to spit out a word but it got stuck in his throat right away.
He was staring at Shen Yu in daze. At this moment, he only felt a familiar impulse like a torrent of strong tides, which drowned him in an instant.
The reason he knew this feeling well was because he had been controlled by this impulse to wake up from his dreams for countless mornings.
And in his dreams...
It was all about Shen Yu.
The smiling Shen Yu, the frowning Shen Yu, the sighing Shen Yu, and as well as the sobbing Shen Yu...
At this moment, the Shen Yu who stood in front of him was real. In fact, Shen Yu was burning in anger.
Tang Li felt that he was going crazy.
He was about to be tortured to madness by Shen Yu.
