After Being Transported into a Book, I Adopted the Villain-Chapter 17 - Blind Date

Ch.17 – Blind Date

It was natural for Shen Yu to want to avoid that girl, but he suddenly flinched a little when he caught site of the anxious and angry eyes of Elder Shen.

Although Elder Shen has now retired and almost no longer manages the affairs of the Shen family and company, his prestige still exists and he is the only living relative of the original Shen Yu.

Shen Yu dared not challenge the Elder’s bottom line too many times.

If one day, his identity as an outsider is exposed, it is most likely that the first person to recognize that he is a fraud is Elder Shen.

Shen Yu hesitated for a moment before trying to compromise with the little villain. He gently rubbed Tang Li’s hair and said, “Chestnut, Grandpa Shen wants to talk to you. Would you like to sit next to Grandpa Shen?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Shen, who was sitting on the opposite side, immediately smiled and waved to Tang Li, “Chestnut, come over here. Grandpa Shen wants to sit with you.”

Unfortunately, Tang Li did not move, as if he hadn’t heard Elder Shen’s enthusiastic call.

It was not until Elder Shen was dry-mouthed and the girl standing by the edge of the table was embarrassed that the little villain shook his head reluctantly while keeping his eyes fixed on Shen Yu’s face.

“Big brother, I want to sit with you.” The gentle and childish pleading was very painful to listen to.

In his heart, Shen Yu was surprised at the exquisite acting skills of the villain. However, on the surface he was helpless against the behavior of the villain. He sighed helplessly and turned to look at the girl.

The girl thought that Tang Li would sit obediently with Elder Shen, so she didn’t expect that the child’s temper would be so stubborn and that he would stick to Shen Yu.

Looking at the current situation, she can no longer take the initiative and continue to occupy Shen Yu’s side, the girl looked down with a flashed of loss in her eyes and tried to squeeze out a smile: “It’s all right, I’ll sit with Grandpa Shen.”

As she spoke, the girl walked over quickly, blushed and sat down.

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and steered his wheelchair to the empty seat next to Tang Li.

Although Elder Shen’s plan to encourage Shen Yu to sit with the girl failed, he was not discouraged at all. During the meal, he kept throwing out topics to Shen Yu and the girl and mentioning interesting things that happened when Shen Yu was a child.

The girl seemed to like Shen Yu very much. When she heard Elder Shen’s old stories about Shen Yu, her eyes were bright, and laughter spilled from her mouth.

For a while, the dining room was filled with boisterous laughter from Elder Shen and the girl.

On the opposite side of the table, a big one and a small one sat quietly.

Shen Yu pretended not to hear the conversation. He buried his head and ate as quietly as a mouse.

Tang Li looked cold. He sat with a bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and the plate in front of him was full of the dishes Shen Yu had given him. However, he did not make a single move, frowning slightly, his eyes were frosty, and nobody could tell what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Shen Yu put down his chopsticks and reached over to pinch Tang Li’s face.

Tang Li woke from his haze and suddenly turned his head towards Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was frightened by Tang Li’s sudden action. The hand holding the little villain’s face was still hanging stiffly in mid-air. He was stunned. When he finally regained his senses, he laughed in a low voice. “If you don’t eat more, you’ll never grow tall.”

After that, Shen Yu took back his hand and grabbed a piece of meat from its platter, finally putting it on a small plate in front of Tang Li.

“Eat.” Shen Yu likes to squint when he laughs. The beautiful peach blossom eyes bend into the shape of crescent moons. These moons are always accompanied by two beautiful dimples on his white cheeks.

The two dimples seemed to be filled with honey they looked so sweet.

Tang Li stared at Shen Yu, as if the air around him was mixed with the sweetness of honey and that sweetness was soaking into his heart.

Again, he felt that they were opposites. One shadow and one light.

Mr. Shen happened to say that when Shen Yu was in primary school, he liked a little girl in the same class. He also promised that he would try hard to make money in the future and marry the little girl when they got older. How could he know that the little girl was frightened by his words and started crying on the spot?

Hearing this, the girl laughed so hard she couldn’t stand up.

But Elder Shen paused for a moment and gradually looked into the girl’s eyes, his gaze becoming more meaningful. He said, “Little Yang, don’t you remember all these things I mentioned?”

“Ah?” The girl stopped laughing and shook her head blankly. “What do you mean?”

Elder Shen sighed helplessly: “... That little girl I just mentioned is you.”

The girl was stunned.

Elder Shen continued, “Aren’t you and Little Yu primary school classmates? At that time, Little Yu liked you quite a lot. He often followed you around. Neither I nor his father could call him back.

After Elder Shen’s reminder, the girl quickly recalled something and instantly her face lite up bright red.

“I... I don’t remember much...” The girl whispered that she quickly glanced at Shen Yu. She found that Shen Yu’s attention was focused on the little boy. He wasn’t even listening to what they were saying.

Instantly, like a basin of cold water pouring over her, the girl’s shy heart quickly cooled down.

The girl clenched her chopsticks, bit her lip, and summoned up courage to throw the topic to Shen Yu, who was serving Chestnut vegetables. “Mr. Shen, do you remember these things?”

Shen Yu, who had been ignoring the pair, raised his head. He turned to the girl looking slightly ashamed and said in embarrassment. “Sorry, I didn’t catch what you were talking about just now.”

Girl: “...” 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

Elder Shen was so angry that he slapped the table. “I asked you to come over for dinner, but did you really eat honestly!? Why don’t you listen to me honestly when I’m trying to help you get married?”

Shen Yu immediately apologized, “I’m sorry.”

Elder Shen was so angry that his eyes were burning even in front of outsiders. Thankfully, he didn’t swear at Shen Yu as usual.

The girl was not a fool, after a meal together she could mostly understand Shen Yu’s intentions towards her.

But Shen Yu met her criteria for spouse selection in all respects: he was tall and slender, handsome, capable, well-off, and had no complicated relationships with other women.

The one drawback is that he was temporarily unable to walk after the accident.

However, Elder Shen said that Shen Yu had recently been actively carrying out rehabilitation exercises, and that sooner or later he would be able to walk again.

After he regains his ability to walk, Shen Yu will be more popular than he is now. It’s not exaggerated to say that her rivals will stretch from here to France, so before that, she wants to seize the opportunity.

Get Shen Yu!

The girl’s face was slightly pale. She looked at Shen Yu’s clear and beautiful face with complicated eyes and a ripple in her heart.

She opened her lips and was about to speak, but she was interrupted by the little boy next to Shen Yu.

“Big brother...” Tang Li’s lips were white, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his little hands were firmly grasping Shen Yu’s arm. It looked painful. “My stomach hurts...”

“Chestnut! What’s wrong with you?!” Shen Yu had no idea that Tang Li, who had been fine the previous second, would suddenly become like this. Suddenly, he panicked. He touched the forehead of Tang Li and said, “No fever. Did you eat the wrong thing?”

Elder Shen and the girl quickly got up from the dining table. The girl stood still while Elder Shen hurried to check the situation of Tang Li.

“Maybe it’s something he ate.” Elder Shen was distressed.

Shen Yu did not know if there was a problem with the food tonight, but now it was not the time to investigate the cause. He took a deep breath and tried to keep calm. Then he took out his mobile phone and dialed Uncle Zhang’s telephone.

Uncle Zhang finished his meal in a nearby restaurant and was ready to browse around. When he got the call, he said he would come back immediately.

Shen Yu, with a calm face, sat down with Tang Li in his lap and asked the servant to bring painkillers and warm water.

At this time, Tang Li’s forehead has been soaked with a thin layer of sweat, his lips went from pale pink to dark green, the small villain’s beautiful Phoenix eyes closed, long curled eyelashes slightly trembling.

It looks pitiful.

Shen Yu felt his nerves tightening.

“Chestnut, are you okay?” Shen Yu wrapped the thin blanket, that was handed to him by the servant, around Tang Li, and held the little villain tightly in his arms. In spite of the cold sweat on the little villain’s head, Shen Yu kissed his forehead and said, “I’ll take you to the hospital, can you bear it a little longer?”

Tang Li was in so much pain that he could not hear anything, and his body started trembling.

Without a word, the villain buried his head in Shen Yu’s arms, and held his hands tightly around Shen Yu’s waist, as if he wished to merge with Shen Yu.

At this moment, Elder Shen put the affair of blind date to the back of his mind and followed Shen Yu’s wheelchair step by step. He spoke in a guilty voice, “Little Yu, let me go with you. I’m worried about Chestnut.”

Hearing Eleder Shen’s voice, Shen Yu remembered that he had been sticking to Tang Li in order to appease him and had completely forgotten Elder Shen.

“That’s all right, Grandpa. I’ll take Chestnut.” Shen Yu pushed the wheelchair to the door with one hand while holding Tang Li in his arms with the other. He smiled and comforting Elder Shen said, “I’ll call you later with news.”

After all, there was something wrong with his family’s child. Elder Shen’s attitude was no longer as brutal as before. After Shen Yu spoke, he sighed and agreed, “Remember to call.”

After taking Shen Yu and Tang Li downstairs by elevator, Elder Shen returned home in despair.

Then he saw the girl sitting tightly on the sofa in the living room waiting.

“Grandpa Shen.” The girl got up and called out.

“Little Yang, I’m really sorry to have you run over for nothing today. I didn’t expect such an accident to happen.” Mr. Shen said in a somewhat low voice.

“Grandpa, don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault.” Girls laughed, but despite laughing she felt bitter inside. She didn’t know if it is her illusion, but the little boy seems to be very hostile to her.

The little boy even suddenly fell ill...

There’s also a weird lingering feeling.

It felt like this incident was deliberately directed at her.𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
