Chapter 72 – Aware
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Shen Yu felt a splitting headache.Intense pain spread all over his body as if it was no longer under his control.
After a long time, his dull consciousness gradually became better and he slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the dazzling light that made him subconsciously close his eyes.
Shen Yu raised his hand and wiped the physiological tears that flowed from the corner of his eyes off.
It took another minute or so for him to open his eyes again.
He saw the familiar ceiling and environment. He was still lying in bed in his bedroom. It seemed he fell asleep at some point, he even changed into the pajamas that he often wore.
Shen Yu blinked blankly.
He remembered clearly that he could not control his emotions last night and cried for a long time. He even told Tang Li a lot of things he should not have said, like his identity as a book transmigator and the identity of Tang Li who was a villain.
As for later…
Shen Yu could not remember anymore.
The only memory he had left was that he had been talking nonsense to Tang Li without thinking. It was as if his fear of the unknown turned into a big hand, choking his throat, making him feel terrified and suffocated. He could not even speak properly.
Shen Yu stared dazedly at the ceiling for a long time. After a while, he seemed to remember something. He quickly raised his hand and stared at it carefully with a panicked expression.
It was not transparent like yesterday.
Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, an unfathomable worry unknowingly rose in his heart.
What Tang Li is thinking after learning the truth…
Thinking of this, he did not dare to face Tang Li again. He had to admit that he was afraid Tang Li would look at him with colored glasses or even alienate him.
Shen Yu slowly get up from the bed. But when he was about to get out, he felt a hand gently pressed on his shoulder.
“It’s still early, just take more rest.” Tang Li’s voice rang in his ear.
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment before he turned his head and looked at Tang Li’s restless face. Tang Li frowned slightly, his eyes were full of exhaustion.
However, Tang Li immediately became cheerful and put the small tray on the bedside table. He squeezed out a smile and said, “Just now Kang Lin came, but you slept deeply. I didn’t have the heart to wake you up. Kang Lin said it was not an urgent matter and he will come back at three o’clock in the afternoon.”
Shen Yu simply nodded, “Okay.”
“Do you still want to sleep more?”
Tang Li sat on the side of the bed while asking, rearranged the air-conditioner, quilt, and pillow, then said, “I’ll call you again in half an hour. It seems the milk has cooled down too.”
Hearing this, Shen Yu looked at the small tray brought by Tang Li. It was a cup of warm milk and a few pieces of pastries.
Shen Yu’s mind was still in a shutdown state. He nodded obediently and lay back in bed with Tang Li’s help.
Tang Li had no intention to leave. He stared quietly at Shen Yu, while gently stroking Shen Yu’s body, “Sleep ba.”
Shen Yu was not sleepy at all. He stared straight at Tang Li, “Aren’t you busy today?”
“Everything that should have been done has been done.” Tang Li, who was slowly touching Shen Yu’s face, could not hold the smile in his mouth, “As for other things that don’t need to be done, I don’t want to do it either.”
“Oh……”
Shen Yu responded, but unfortunately, he did not listen to Tang Li’s words.
Under Tang Li’s lullaby, Shen Yu gradually fell asleep. He wanted to close his eyes and reflect on himself a bit, but the next moment, Tang Li’s shocked face appeared in his mind. Tang Li stared at him in disbelief and said, “How could I be a character in a book…”
Shen Yu opened his eyes and sat up suddenly.
Tang Li, who was sitting by the bed, appeared to be frightened by his sudden action and quickly touch his shoulder to comfort him, “What happened?”
“Chestnut.” Shen Yu took a deep breath and grabbed Tang Li’s hand, “I didn’t lie. I think I’m being punished for changing the original plot. Now, only my hand turned transparent, but maybe soon I will completely disappear. Maybe I should have followed the plot and kept a distance from you…”
“What do you mean?” Tang Li looked confused. “What book plot are you talking about?”
Shen Yu anxiously said, “It’s the plot of the book you are in!”
The confusion lingering on Tang Li’s face did not disappear from beginning to end. Tang Li was silent for a long time as if he was seriously thinking about Shen Yu’s words, but he finally shook his head helplessly, “Sorry, I really don’t understand what you are talking about.”
This time, it was Shen Yu’s turn to get stunned. He tentatively asked, “Do you still remember what happened last night?”
Tang Li nodded, “Remember.”
Shen Yu continued to ask, “Then, you also remember seeing my hand turned transparent, right?”
“Turned transparent?” Tang Li’s brows were almost twisted into a knot. He took Shen Yu’s hand and looked at it solemnly. His head ached as he said, “I don’t remember seeing your hand turned transparent. Let’s call Dr. Liu to check it up or we can go to the hospital now.”
Shen Yu did not speak. He observed Tang Li’s expression and found that the other party did not seem to be lying.
In a flash, Shen Yu thought of a possibility and his face turned pale.
“Shen Yu,” Tang Li gripped Shen Yu’s hand tightly and kissed him on the lips, “Wait here for a moment. I’ll call Dr. Liu, okay?”
Shen Yu hurriedly said, “No need.”
Tang Li’s eyes were full of distress, even so, he was reluctant to leave directly. He touched Shen Yu’s face and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Yu calmed down and asked in a serious manner, “Can you tell me what happened last night?”
Tang Li was slightly puzzled, but he still told the story of what they had done last night. After they got home, Tang Li drank the hang-over soup prepared by Shen Yu, and then Shen Yu felt tired, so he went back to his room to rest.
Before going to sleep, Tang Li, who had just finished taking a shower, ran to Shen Yu’s bedroom. Later, they both sat by the bed and chatted together.
As for the content——
Tang Li thought about it carefully but found his memory of that time blank.
After listening to Tang Li’s story, the despair on Shen Yu’s face was so strong that it almost drowned him.
In other words, Tang Li completely forgot both what he said and how his hand turned transparent.
Tang Li finally noticed Shen Yu’s abnormality and his expression became heavy in an instant. He put both of his hands on Shen Yu’s shoulder and said, “Although I don’t know what happened, as long as you said it, I will listen. So, can you tell me?”
Shen Yu lowered his eyes and his lips were white.
He shook his head silently.
Even if Tang Li listened, what’s the use of it? He will forget about it again.
Today, Shen Yu really experienced the power of the original plot. He was genuinely terrified of it. In the face of this unnatural power, he was as small as an ant…
“Shen Yu…”
Tang Li wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Shen Yu.
“Please go out first,” Shen Yu lowered his head, his voice was low and hoarse, “I want to be alone for a while.”
Tang Li hesitated, but in the end, he stood up slowly and left, “Remember to eat your breakfast. I’ll stay outside. You can call me anytime.”
Shen Yu nodded and let out a small hum.
Tang Li stared deeply at Shen Yu for a few seconds before he turned and walked out of the bedroom.
After closing the door, Tang Li leaned against the wall and looked thoughtfully at the door.
He was just confused by Shen Yu’s words just now. Coupled with worries and distress, he did not have enough reason to ponder the contents of Shen Yu’s words. Now, he had calmed down, he felt that Shen’s actions were even stranger.
A book plot…
What book?
Recalling Shen Yu’s actions, it seemed to be a very important book. However, Tang Li was sure that Shen Yu did not have a hobby of reading literature books, he just liked to read some online novels when he was bored.
Shen Yu also talked about being transparent and disappear…
His intuition told him that Shen Yu’s abnormality was related to what happened last night. If he guessed correctly, the problem lie in their conversation at that time, but he forgot all about it.
Tang Li continued pondering until he had a headache, but he still could not find any clues.
Just when Tang Li was about to give up, he caught a glimpse of Aunt Chen from the corner of his eye.
Aunt Chen, who had changed into old clothes, came from the other end of the corridor. She was holding a bucket and rag in each hand, cleaning the house. Seeing Tang Li leaning against the wall, she smiled and said, “Young Master Tang Li, are you not going out today?”
Tang Li nodded, “ Shen Yu isn’t feeling well, so I probably stay here for a few days.”
“Ah? Shen Yu?” Aunt Chen hesitated for a moment before she realized and patted her head, “Oh, you’re talking about Mr. Shen ah… Right, why is he not feeling well?”
Tang Li stared at Aunt Chen in enlightenment.
A very strong sense of strangeness gradually surged in his heart.
As if awakened by something, Tang Li forced a smile and pointed at Shen Yu’s bedroom, “I also don’t know. Why don’t you go and take a look? He’s currently in a bad mood.”
Aunt Chen put the bucket and rag down, unscrewed the doorknob, and walked in cautiously.
But in less than half a minute, she came out.
Tang Li was already standing upright in front of the door, waiting. He frowned and asked, “ How is it?”
“This bedroom is very clean. There is only some dust in the corners.” Aunt Chen scratched her head, “I’ll finish it up after I clean the laundry room.”
Hearing this, Tang Li frowned even more. He fixedly stared at Aunt Chen with his emotionless black eyes until he became numb. He opened his mouth, “I’m asking, how is Shen Yu’s condition?”
“Oh, oh, Mr. Shen Yu…” Aunt Chen was startled and let out a guilty expression, “I’m sorry, Young Master Tang Li. I don’t know what’s going on, I’ve become forgetful recently… I’ll go in again and take a look.”
“Aunt Chen.”
“Yes?” Aunt Chen turned around and looked anxiously at Tang Li’s gloomy expression.
“No need,” Tang Li said in a deep voice, “I will contact Dr. Liu. You continue your work.”
If it was normal, Aunt Chen would not leave if she found out that Shen Yu was not feeling well. At least, she would leave after seeing Dr. Lui come here with her own eyes. But now, after hearing what Tang Li said, she just nodded, picked her bucket and rug up, and went away without looking back.
As Tang Li watched Aunt Chen’s back disappear into the laundry room, his expression became graver.
_______________________________________________________________
Originally, Shen Yu was not sleepy. However, after laying on the bed while thinking about a lot of messy things, he fell asleep.
Two hours had passed when Shen Yu woke up. Then, he got out of bed, washed, and dressed. When he came out of the bathroom, he saw the milk on the bedside table was still steaming slightly.
Shen Yu approached the table and found out that the milk and pastries had been replaced.
He brought the small tray to the coffee table and sat on the sofa before finishing up his breakfast. After that, he took the small tray and walked out of his bedroom.
Just as he opened the door, he saw Tang Li and Dr. Liu waiting outside.
Watching Shen Yu’s surprised face, Dr. Liu smiled and said, “Mr. Shen, long time no see. It looks like that your mental health isn’t very good. Do you not rest well?”
Shen Yu silently looked at Tang Li and said, “Maybe it’s because I didn’t sleep well last night.”
“Can you let me take a look?” Dr. Liu said.
Shen Yu wanted to refuse, but remembering Tang Li’s worried face, he agreed after hesitating for two seconds.
After giving Shen Yu an examination, Dr. Liu said that he had been too stressed recently and this could easily lead to heart problems.
Shen Yu responded one by one.
Dr. Liu thought that Shen Yu was worried about the separation of the Shen family, so he advised, “Mr. Shen, don’t be too busy with your work. Your body is the capital of revolutions. You should pay more attention to rest and don’t bring work troubles into your life.”
Shen Yu pursed his lips, “Thank you, Dr. Liu.”
“You’re welcome, it’s my job,” Dr. Liu said as he packed up his medical kit. After packing up, he went straight to Tang Li who was standing in front of the coffee table as if he did not see Shen Yu who was on the sofa.
“If there are no other problems, I will go first,” Dr. Liu said and made a phone call gesture, “Call me if something happens again.”
“Okay,” Tang Li paused, and he suddenly asked in a cold voice, “Is he really okay?”
Dr. Liu dazedly asked, “Who?”
Tang Li asked back, “Who, you asked?”
Dr. Liu was amused by Tang Li’s question, “You don’t even say who it is, so how do I know?”
Tang Li stared at Dr. Liu with scorching eyes for a long time before he asked again, “Do you still remember who did you check just now?”
Dr. Liu was stumped by this question. He touched his nose and let out a troubled expression. He searched for the answer again and again, but he still came up with nothing. He obviously knew that person’s name and appearance, but he just could not figure out who it was.
This continued until Tang Li jokingly reminded, “Dr. Liu, have you forgotten Shen Yu’s name so quickly?”
“Oh, right!” Dr. Liu suddenly woke up, “It’s Shen Yu!”
Meeting Tang Li’s cold gaze, Dr. Liu let out a dry laugh and walked in embarrassment. But, he still did not say anything to Shen Yu as if he was transparent.
After Tang Li finally confirmed his guess, the air surrounding him became colder. He turned his head and stared at Shen Yu. Shen Yu also stared blankly at Tang Li. It was unknown what he (SY) was thinking.
A knife seemed to have stabbed Tang Li’s heart, it was really painful. He walked over and knelt down in front of Shen Yu, stroking his face.
“I understand what you’re worried about now. Don’t worry, no matter what happens, there’s always a way out.”
Only then, Shen Yu realized that Tang Li’s real purpose in calling Dr. Liu was not to have Dr. Liu examine him but to see if Dr. Liu would ignore him like everyone else.
And, it turned out that Dr. Liu was not an exception.
Shen Yu sighed and said, “You only guessed a part of it.”
Tang Li clenched his hand, “What’s the rest? Can you tell me about it?”
“I’ve told you all last night. I confessed everything to you,” Shen Yu continued, “But you forget… You forget everything.”
Tang Li wanted to keep on asking Shen Yu, but at this moment, his phone rang. It was Zhou Che.
Without hesitation, Tang Li hung it up directly.
Unexpectedly, within a few seconds, his phone rang again. Zhou Che called him again.
“Take it,” Shen Yu said, “We’re not short on time.”
Tang Li’s face was still ugly, but he got up and went to the French window while answering the phone.
As soon as it was connected, Zhou Che’s anxious voice rang from the other side, “Tang Li! We’re in trouble! Lin Pingran privately handed over the project to the Tang family for 8 million and now there is a problem with the project.”
