Chapter 54: Like (2)

“I don’t blame you. I was just not alert enough.” Shen Yu said. He thought that there wouldn’t be any predicament to happen in his family’s hotel. He just didn’t expect that there would be an anxious rabbit present to bite people. Apparently, Shen Rong would even attack him under Elder Shen’s watch.

Shen Yu looked at Tang Li, his thick long eyelashes were soaked with tears. He was still crying and his shoulders were trembling. When Tang Li was a child, he did not even cry, let alone express his sorrow. Shen Yu couldn’t help whether to laugh or cry. He didn’t know how to comfort this big boy, who looked so pitiful.

Shen Yu found that his instinct feeling was right off the bat ——there was another problem that he needed to worry even more. Earlier, the woman stuffed a large dose of medicine into Shen Yu’s mouth. Although Shen Yu didn’t know what kind of medicine it was, he can easily guess what the use of those drugs were for. Of course, there was no longer any need for Shen Yu to find out what’s its function since the main effect of the drug started to give reaction in Shen Yu’s body.

Hot.

It was so hot.

This was what Shen Yu has been feeling so far. Suddenly, his breathing became ragged. It was too difficult for him to breathe, he had to open his mouth to breathe in air. The ice-cold air slightly made Shen Yu’s rationality return. However, it was simply like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood [2]. He was so hot and dry all over. It was as if he had a fire deep inside his body that needed to be extinguished with freezing water.

Tang Li held Shen Yu and brought him to his room, he placed Shen Yu on the bed.

“Wait a minute.” Tang Li touched Shen Yu’s scalding face. The worry in his eyes felt like it could turn into matter at any moment. “I’ll call Dr. Liu.”

After he spoke, Tang Li walked away.

“Chestnut!” Shen Yu sat up and grabbed Tang Li’s arm in a hurry, like a helpless and pitiful little creature. “Don’t go.”

This time, Tang Li has already stopped crying but he did quite look like a mess, both his eyes and nose were still red, tear streaks still visible.

“What’s the matter?” Tang Li asked, “Right now, you’re in a bad state. I’ll just call Dr. Liu over to examine you.”

“No, don’t call Dr. Liu.” Shen Yu hurriedly said.

Tang Li’s face puzzled, “Why?”

“...” Shen Yu paused for a moment, he was ashamed to open his mouth and tell why. He was uncertain on how to bring up this type of topic to Tang Li. He also felt embarrassed to tell him that he had been drugged. Nevertheless, he still needed to solve this problem.

There was a moment of silence. When he noticed that Tang Li wanted to find Uncle Zhang again, he clenched his teeth. He endured the growing desire in his body and said with difficulty, “I’m fine. You don’t have to look after me. Just let me have a short rest.”

Tang Li looked at Shen Yu, his eyes gradually became clear with realization.

“You may go out first.” Shen Yu weakly pushed Tang Li. However, he couldn’t push Tang Li away even for a fraction. “I want to be alone.”

By the time he said these words, Shen Yu already couldn’t endure anymore and had suffered great pain. The heat that spread throughout his body was like fire that kept on burning vigorously. He eagerly wanted to find an outlet from this pain. He was like a patient that contracted skin disease, his extreme thirst for someone to touch him and impatience to relieve the heat in his heart.

But this man can never be Tang Li.

Even if the one in front of him now was only Tang Li alone.

Tang Li simply sat down at his bedside, it was as if he didn’t hear Shen Yu’s words urging him away. He looked at Shen Yu’s red face and lifted his hand, caressing the pair of clear peach blossom eyes of Shen Yu. These pair of peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, revealing confusion in them. He was unaware for how many nights these eyes had appeared in Tang Li’s dreams, looking affectionately at Tang Li. Tang Li became absent-minded, it felt like he had returned to his dream.

“I can help you.” He heard himself saying to Shen Yu in a gentle lukewarm voice holding a bewitching tint to it, “Shen Yu, let me help you, ok?”

Shen Yu’s face was full of cold sweat. He leaned on the headboard for support while trying to regulate his breathing. He nearly went mad from the torment of his desire, talking to Tang Li with his last bit of reason.

“No...” Shen Yu shook his head, he refused firmly, “No. You go out. You go out first...”

“I want to stay and help you.” Tang Li grabbed Shen Yu’s hand.

“No...” Shen Yu was still resisting.

Tang Li’s eyes were burning hot. His line of sight was on every inch of Shen Yu’s skin. He knew that he was acting like a greedy leopard. Eyeing his prey with such intentions, like a tiger watching his prey [3].

(TN [3]: ????h?shìd?nd?n an idiom means to eye covetously)

He couldn’t control himself, he knew that by doing what he dreamt on doing might cause him Shen Yu’s resentment and disgust. It was better to say that he was selfish, considering that he bit the hand that fed him. Restraining himself for a long time would inevitably lead to a moment where he can’t bear it anymore.

So, Tang Li slowly tightened his hold on Shen Yu’s hand, he carefully leaned forward and covered Shen Yu’s lips with his.
