After Being Transported into a Book, I Adopted the Villain-Chapter 50 - Confused

Ch.50 – Confused

Even when faced with the boy’s lively and hopeful face, Tang Li refused to humor him: “No.”

Hearing these words, the boy’s face instantly froze: “Why?”

“There’s no particular reason.” Tang Li said, “Do you need anything else?”

“No...”

“Then I’m going.”

After that, Tang Li turned around and left.

The boy stared at Tang Li’s back for two seconds and suddenly responded.

“Chestnut, wait up...” He ran forward, holding out his hand to grasp the wrist of Tang Li

Unfortunately, it was like Tang Li had eyes in the back of his head. Before the boy’s fingertips could touch his skin, he suddenly turned and avoided the boy’s movements.

The boy’s hand was empty, and it hung in mid-air for a long time before it was withdrawn.

“Anything else?” Tang Li asked.

“Nothing important...” The boy touched his nose in embarrassment and continued hesitatingly, “Anyway, the second year of senior high school is not to stressful. Come out and play. We haven’t seen you for a long time. Xiao Hui misses you a lot.”

The boy spoke sincerely, but unfortunately Tang Li was not moved by him at all.

“I already said no, I will not go.” Tang Li frowned slightly. “Have fun. I’ll leave first.”

This time, the boy did not dare to stop Tang Li. Although his eyes were full of reluctance to give up, he swallowed back all the words he wanted to say. Then, he turned his head and looked at Shen Yu.

A little stunned, the boy painted on a brilliant smile, waved to Shen Yu, and said cheerfully, “Good-bye uncle.”

Shen Yu: “...”

This kid, just who’s your uncle?

You’re an uncle!

Your whole family is an uncle!

For the first time in his life, Shen Yu was depressed about his age. He was only twenty-nine years old! It’s strange that he was called Uncle by a boy who was obviously a senior high school student.

Thinking of how he was called uncle in front of Tang Li... For a while, Shen Yu became even more depressed.

On their journey home, Tang Li and Uncle Zhang both noticed that Shen Yu was in a bad mood.

However, considering what he told Shen Yu earlier today, Tang Li thought that Shen Yu was still angry with him, so he sat in the passenger’s front seat silently, quiet as a mouse, nervous, and without enough courage to even look at Shen Yu in the rearview mirror.

Poor Uncle Zhang continued to be oblivious——

He could not understand at all. Just earlier today young master Tang Li was still walking in the lakeside courtyard with the master on his back. How could the two men become like this after a few words?

And when young master Tang Li spoke to the boy just now, his face was very ugly, and he seemed to dislike the boy very much.

The accumulated doubts gradually converged into an overwhelming net, which covered Uncle Zhang firmly.

From the rearview mirror, Uncle Zhang looked blankly at Shen Yu, who was staring outside the window in a daze. He opened his mouth but dared not say anything.

The three men were silent all the way home.

After taking a bath, Shen Yu sat in his bed just thinking for a while. In the end, he couldn’t resist and walked out of the bedroom with his crutches.

However, when he reached the door of Tang Li’s bedroom, Shen Yu became anxious.

His heart began to struggle. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

After all, Tang Li told him such a private matter because he trusted him. If he took betrayed Tang Li’s trust in order to attack him...he did not know how Tang Li would think of him in the future.

But after recalling the strange boy from earlier looking at Tang Li with admiration, Shen Yu felt his whole head spiral into a mess.

He didn’t know what with him.

But he knew he wasn’t happy.

He didn’t expect that the pig that could eat his precious cabbage was a little pig, shorter than even he was.

Shen Yu thought for a long time, but in the end, he couldn’t find a suitable reason to ask Tang Li about the boy.

Just as he was about to go back to his bedroom to think about it again, he heard a soft click, and the door in front of him opened.

Tang Li appeared in front of the door in black pajamas.

Shen Yu could not see the little villain’s facial features and expression clearly the dim light. He could only see his black hair sticking wetly against his cheeks, a few drops of water still running down his face. Most likely he had just taken a bath.

Shen Yu did not expect that Tang Li would suddenly open the door, and suddenly felt a sense of shame when he was caught and could only stand frozen to his spot.

“What’s the matter?” Tang Li spoke in a low voice.

“Noth...nothing.” Shen Yu stuttered.

“Um.” Tang Li hummed a simple tone and waited for a while. After some time, Shen Yu was still motionless, so he squinted, with a little laughter in his eyes. “After acting so tired today, you plan to stand here all night?”

“...” Shen Yu suddenly realized what was happening. “No, how do you know I’ve been standing here all this time?”

Tang Li’s smile grew: “I heard your footsteps.”

Shen Yu looked suspicious and obviously did not believe Tang Li’s words.

Now that summer is approaching, the villa has a central air-conditioner maintaining a suitable temperature 24 hours a day. The living room on the first floor and the corridor on the second floor are also covered with seasonal fluffy carpets.

Usually when Aunt Chen pushed the cleaning cart through the corridor, even if the door of the study was half open, Shen Yu could not hear the sound of wheels sliding by the study.

Not to mention that he walked lightly just now.

Tang Li guessed what Shen Yu was thinking but had no intention of explaining any further. He stepped back and said, “Are you coming in?”

“No.” Shen Yu was still struggling with how to ask the question that had been bothering him.

After hearing Shen Yu’s answer, Tang Li immediately felt both a little funny and slightly helpless.

The next second, he suddenly took two steps forward, and quickly approached Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was shocked by Tang Li’s sudden action. By the time he used his crutch in order to retreat, the little villain had already grabbed his arm.

Then Tang Li’s fingertips moved up and lightly pinched his ears.

Ah...It’s cold.

It’s a very delicate feeling.

“This place.” Tang Li said, “It’s very sensitive to your voice, even a hundred meters away, I can hear your call.”

They were very close, and Tang Li’s breath when talking caressed Shen Yu’s cheeks. This caused an itch that gave Shen Yu an uncontrollable desire to retreat.

In fact, he staggered back a little.

Tang Li did not stop Shen Yu. He waited until Shen Yu had a firm foothold before taking back his hand.

Shen Yu gripped his crutches, which felt slightly unstable. After a long pause, he asked, “What if I can’t hear you?”

“Then don’t be too far away from me.” Tang Li looked directly at Shen Yu, and there seemed to be a surge of something dark at the bottom of his dark eyes. “I’ll never lose track of you either.”

After he heard this, Shen Yu was stunned for several seconds.

His intuition was telling him that there is something more in Tang Li’s words.

But he couldn’t hear what Tang Li wanted to say, and he was too timid to directly ask what Tang Li was really saying.

It was as if they were separated by a thin veil. Shen Yu wanted to pull off the veil to see what he was facing, but at the same time, he was afraid of facing consequences that he could not afford.

Curiosity and fear tormented him.

After a long standoff, Shen Yu hesitated to break the silence. “By the way, you said you like boys...”

Tang Li nodded: “Yes.”

“Is that man we met in the restaurant tonight the one you like?”

“No.” Tang Li denied it very simply. Talking about the boy, his eyes flashed a little irritation. “I don’t like that type of pestering person.”

Shen Yu unconsciously smiled and asked, “What type do you like then?”

Tang Li hung his lips into a frown and was silent for a moment. Then he said, “Sorry, I can’t tell you for the time being.”

“Oh, that’s all right.” Shen Yu looked down with some loss in his eyes and laughed. “It’s late. We should go to sleep.”

Tang Li nodded, “Good night.”

Shen Yu said good night, clutched his crutches and turned back to his bedroom.

————-

Any person would have to admit it.

Shen Yu was influenced by Tang Li’s words.

Even in his sleep, he still had some strange dreams. He dreamed that Tang Li took the boy home with him and said that he wanted to marry him.

The boy snuggled shyly in front of Tang Li’s chest, looked up at Shen Yu, and raised a brilliant smile. The small dimple floating on the corner of his mouth was particularly noticeable.

The boy said in a crisp voice, “Uncle, I really love Chestnut. Please bless our marriage!”

Shen Yu was struck dumb.

Then a mouthful of old blood came out.

Over the past few days, these dreams have formed into in a regular soap opera series, which has developed to the point that Tang Li and the boy are going to go abroad to get married and hold their wedding. ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

They also actively and enthusiastically invited Shen Yu to be a witness, because Shen Yu was the only one who witnessed the history of their great romance.

“Shit! What about Uncle Zhang?”, Shen Yu cried out angrily for the sake of all the single dogs in the world.

Then, Tang Li and the boy were quiet.

It seems like the whole world is quiet.

“Sir?” Uncle Zhang’s voice of doubt rang in his ear. “Sir, did you call me?”

Shen Yu suddenly woke up, and his scattered eyes focused instantly on Uncle Zhang’s worried face.

“Are you all right, sir?” Uncle Zhang touched Shen Yu’s forehead and muttered to himself, “It doesn’t feel like a fever, maybe I should call Dr. Liu to make sure.”

Shen Yu calmed down: “... I’m fine.”

Uncle Zhang said, “Are you really all right?”

Shen Yu asked seriously, “Does it seem that something is wrong with me?”

“...” Uncle Zhang was speechless and thought that something really was off.

Shen Yu sighed lightly but did not continue to tangle with Uncle Zhang on this issue.

—————–

He turned his head and looked at the table in front of him without eating even two mouthfuls of his breakfast, only feeling dazed.

He sat opposite of Tang Li and seemed to have no appetite. Only looking at the little villain from time to time.

Even knowing that those dreams were made up in his own mind, Shen Yu still felt a bit odd when he saw Tang Li’s face.

In particular, he recalled the picture of Tang Li holding the boy’s hand and vowing to marry him.

Shen Yu didn’t want to stay for a second longer.

“I’m full.” Shen Yu suddenly put down his knife and fork, got up, picked up his crutches and left the dining room.

Uncle Zhang and Tang Li were left looking at each other in confusing.
