Chapter 59: The Forthcoming (2)
“I just came in to get the clothes and take them away.” Tang Li forced himself to move away from Shen Yu’s line of sight. After searching in the bathroom for a while, he saw the clothes and trousers hanging on the clothes hanger.
The mud-stained part of the clothing had been washed by Shen Yu with clean water. It was a pity there was no laundry detergent. It obviously had not been completely washed clean.
Next to it was a hairdryer that was already on.
Shen Yu paid attention to Tang Li’s gaze, and suddenly his stifled face seemed pale. He hurried forward to take away his hanged clothing, “I have something dirty on my clothes. So, took it off and washed it...”
Before his voice fell, one hand took away the clothes first.
Shen Yu was stunned. He looked at Tang Li with a red face.
Tang Li uneasily looked away from Shen Yu’s eyes. He then reluctantly smiled from the corner of his mouth and said, “Go take a bath, I’ll wash your clothes for you.”
With that, Tang Li turned and walked out of the bathroom.
His pace was so fast as if something was chasing after him.
Bang. (The door sound)
Tang Li easily closed the bathroom door.
He stood still in front of the door while clutching the half-dried clothing. After a while, he breathed out a sigh of relief.
Just as Tang Li was about to lift up his foot to leave, he suddenly felt a warm liquid gushing out of his nose. He was stunned. He reached his hand to his nose and wiped it gently.
He placed his hand down and looked.
Dazzling red.
He had a nosebleed.
Tang Li, “...”
He went to the coffee table and pulled out two tissues to wipe the blood clean from his nose. He called room service and acted as if nothing had happened.
It didn’t take long for the hotel staff to come and knock on the door.
Tang Li handed over Shen Yu’s clothing to the service staff. He carefully told the other party to wash and dry them. He then closed the door and sat on the sofa. He waited for an hour.
The clothes bought by Zhou Che were just right for Shen Yu. After bathing, Shen Yu felt refreshed. Even his mood became elated.
When he walked out of the bathroom, Shen Yu saw a small tissue roll tucked in Tang Li’s nostrils. He couldn’t help but worry. He unsteadily walked over to him, “What’s wrong with your nose? Does it hurt? “
Tang Li avoided Shen Yu’s hand and embarrassedly said, “It’s nothing. I accidentally bumped into it.”
“Did your nose bleed when you bumped into it?” Shen Yu asked.
“No.” Tang Li subconsciously denied, “There is no blood.”
Shen Yu obviously didn’t believe it, “...So why is there a tissue roll stuck in your nose? “
Tang Li thought for a moment, then solemnly replied, “I’m taking precautions to prevent any nosebleeds.”
Shen Yu, “...”
He was not stupid enough to repeat what Tang Li had said, but since Tang Li looked and acted as nothing big happened to him, he didn’t continue to ask for more details.
These two people sat on the sofa, silent.
In the past five days, Shen Yu held back from a lot of things that he wanted to say to Tang Li.
Unexpectedly, when he saw Tang Li now, it was like he didn’t know how to open his mouth. He felt weary to say anything.
He wanted to explain to Tang Li why he did not come forward to help him.
He wanted him to know what kind of life he had been living during that period of time.
He wanted to ask Tang Li how he safely escaped from the Shen family.
As well as...
The “home” that came out from his mouth not long ago, on the phone. Which “home” was that?
No matter which or what question it was, he can’t explain it in a few words.
Shen Yu felt weary when he thought about it. His body was tired and his heart was even more weary.
After thinking about it for a while, he had to urge Tang Li to take a bath first. If he had anything to say, he would wait until he had finished taking a bath.
Shen Yu originally wanted to take advantage of Tang Li’s bath time to sort out his chaotic mind. How could he know that Tang Li’s bath was very quick. Within half an hour, he came out of the bathroom with wet hair.
Shen Yu, who fell into contemplation, supported his chin. He heard the sound of footsteps and turned around, “Why didn’t you dry your hair?” he frowned.
“It will dry quickly.” Tang Li randomly scratched his hair and he then sat on the sofa opposite of Shen Yu.
The two men continued to stare at each other.
Finally, Shen Yu sighed softly. He conceded and started to talk, “Go to the bathroom and take out the hairdryer.”
“Alright.” Tang Li, who was ordered, ran very fast to get it.
There was no socket near the sofa. So, Shen Yu let Tang Li sit at the bedside. He sat behind Tang Li with his legs crossed and turned on the hairdryer. Warm breeze and fingers slowly went through Tang Li’s hair.
For a moment, there was only a howling wind of the hairdryer in the quiet room.
None of them spoke.
Warm feelings were spreading in the air.
Shen Yu looked at Tang Li’s head and his broad back. His heart was filled with all sorts of feelings...
“I...”
“I...”
The two men spoke almost at the same time and they also turned silent at the same time.
Shen Yu rubbed Tang Li’s hair and paused. He wanted Tang Li to continue talking. In the end, he waited for a whole minute and didn’t hear anything from him.
Thus, Shen Yu said with a smile, “What did you want to say?”
“It’s a very important matter.” Tang Li’s voice was being pressed down that it was almost drowned in the endless stream of white noise
Shen Yu almost couldn’t hear what he was talking about. So, he turned off the hairdryer.
Instantly, the room became quiet, so quiet that a drop of a needle could be heard.
“Tell me.” Shen Yu said in a calm voice, “What’s so important?”
In fact, when Shen Yu uttered this sentence, he was vaguely aware of something. However, he still had some delusion in his mind, hoping that those thoughts were just the product of his imagination, yet Tang Li easily shattered his hope.
Shen Yu heard him say, “I’m going home.”
“Which house?”
“Tang family.”
“...” Shen Yu wanted to laugh but he found out that he couldn’t laugh at all. He even felt like crying. He was very sad and his heart felt unwell. It took a lot of effort to force himself to calm down. “When is it?”
“Soon.” Tang Li said so.
Shen Yu knew that Tang Li didn’t want to answer his questions. If Tang Li didn’t want to say anything anymore, he won’t ask any more questions. But now, it seemed that he couldn’t control his emotions. Before his brain could react, his mouth blurted out.
“How long is that ‘soon’?”
