Tang Li hesitated for a while.
Returning to Shen's house, stepping into the living room, the first thing that catches the eye is the colorful balloons attached to the floor-to-ceiling window glass, and the four characters "Happy Birthday" are spelled out crookedly.
The layout of the living room is very childish, and there is a puppet bear as tall as Tang Li on the sofa.
A three-tiered birthday cake with an overall blue tone was quietly placed on the coffee table. On the top layer of the cake, a lovely whale jumped out of the blue water.
After Tang Li approached, he saw a line of words written on the bottom layer of the cake.
-My little chestnut, my brother will always love you.
Tang Li was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly filled with layers of joy. His eye sockets and nose were even a little sour, as if a hot liquid was about to overflow from his eyes.
It was without a doubt the best birthday present he had ever received.
Tang Li raised his head, looked at Shen Yu, who was sitting in front of the sofa with his back to him from beginning to end, and called out softly, "Brother Shen Yu."
I don't know if he is too sensitive. He always felt that the atmosphere in the living room was a little too quiet. The servants, including Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen, bowed their heads and stood silently in the corner of the living room, daring not to look at them. .
And Shen Yu clearly heard his call, but refused to turn around and face him.
"Brother Shen Yu." Tang Li shouted in a milky voice, and he tentatively took two steps forward, "What's the matter with you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Yu without looking back: "Don't come here."
Tang Li's footsteps stopped for a moment, he thought for a while, and quickly returned to his previous position, tugging at the corner of his mouth uneasily and said with a smile: "Brother Shen Yu, am I making you unhappy?"
The answer to Tang Li was a sneer.
"At the beginning, Shen Yu took a bite, and I didn't change my mouth. Now that I'm a thief, I know how to call my brother?"
Tang Li stood stiffly in place, as if he realized something at this moment, his face gradually turned blue, and even the smile on the corner of his mouth became extremely reluctant.
"What's wrong?" Tang Li said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Shen Yu didn't speak, he controlled the wheelchair and turned around slowly. The expression on his face could be described as gloomy, the corners of his lips were tensed, and his cold eyes swam on Tang Li's face.
Tang Li was seen very uncomfortable, his mouth was slightly flattened, and his phoenix eyes were full of pitiful meaning.
"Brother Shen Yu..."
The little villain called out Shen Yu's name in a soft and glutinous voice as usual, like a little milk dog who begged the owner's forgiveness after making a mistake.
However, this time, Shen Yu was indifferent.
He looked straight at Tang Li, and looked at Tang Li's expression calmly.
no panic...
no worries...
No regrets at all...
Some of them are only pitiful and shameless after doing such a bad thing!
Shen Yu closed his eyes and felt that his internal organs were hurting with anger. The scene he saw when he went to the hospital in the afternoon appeared in front of his eyes - Lei Yumeng was lying weakly on the hospital bed, with obvious bruises on his exposed hands and feet. Qing, her wrist was wrapped in heavy gauze, and the pain was so painful that she was moaning/groaning even when she fell asleep...
In just over a month, Lei Yumeng has transformed from a lively and cute girl to a skinny and almost sickly patient.
At that moment, Shen Yu couldn't believe his eyes.
Mother Lei was sitting on the side of the hospital bed with a pale face, and there was a circle of dark blue under her eyes. She covered her face with one hand and wept silently.
Father Lei called Shen Yu to the corridor outside the ward, and pleaded in a low voice: "Mr. Shen, it's because we didn't discipline our daughter enough, and we failed to stop her behavior in time, which caused trouble to little Tang Li. We are deeply sorry. Tomorrow, Yumeng's mother will go to the school to go through the withdrawal procedures, I hope you can forgive us."
Facing the earnest father Lei, Shen Yu's expression was stunned, and he didn't react for a long time.
After a long while, Shen Yucai squeezed a few words out of the throat: "I'm sorry..."
"No." Lei's father waved his hand hastily, "Don't say sorry, if you want to blame those students who hurt Yumeng and her head teacher, Tang Li is also a victim in this incident."
Shen Yu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The picture of Lei's father apologizing to him was like a sharp needle that had been quenched with poison/liquid, stabbed into his skin, and the pain made it difficult for him to even breathe.
He knew that Lei Yumeng's parents didn't really think Tang Li was right, but they didn't dare to care about the face of the Shen family, and they had to apologize to him carefully.
When leaving, Shen Yu asked Uncle Zhang to inquire about Lei's father's bank card number and put in a compensation payment as soon as possible.
But on the way home, he still felt bad.
He couldn't figure it out.
Tang Li just turned eleven years old. He should have been at an age when he didn't understand anything. Where did he get the scheming and means to do such a cruel thing
But looking at Tang Li's unrepentant face at this moment, Shen Yu suddenly understood.
Tang Li himself is the biggest villain in the original text.
Isn't doing this just in line with the villain's cruelty
Even if Shen Yu treats him with all his heart, even if Shen Yu actively tries to pull him back from the evil way, there is nothing to make up for it... Just because Tang Li is a genuine villain and a natural cold-blooded animal.
Even if Shen Yu covers the stone, it will not heat Tang Li's heart!
Shen Yu bit his lips, and was so sad that he wanted to cry. He quickly took a deep breath and forced back the enthusiasm that had poured into his eyes, but the sense of despair that had soaked into the bone marrow was still infringing on his nerves.
"Uncle Zhang." Shen Yu looked away from Tang Li's flattering face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Tear down all the furnishings in the house."
"Yes." Uncle Zhang replied in a low voice, turning his head to wink at Aunt Chen and the other servants, and a group of people acted immediately.
Tang Li was stunned on the spot, his face was full of confusion, and he didn't seem to understand what Shen Yu meant.
"Shen Yu, aren't you happy?" Tang Li asked blankly.
Shen Yu ignored Tang Li's words, and didn't even give him a point from the corner of the corner. In a blink of an eye, she saw the three-tier cake placed on the coffee table. Shen Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and then she said to Uncle Zhang, "Throw this away too."
"Yes." Uncle Zhang nodded, strode to the coffee table, and picked up the cardboard box under the cake.
Seeing this, Tang Li was immediately anxious. He staggered and ran over, spread out his arms to block the cake, and hurriedly said, "Isn't this a birthday cake for me? Why throw it away? You can't throw it!"
Uncle Zhang looked embarrassed and turned to look at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu sat in a wheelchair with an expressionless face, his calm eyes were like a lake without ripples, and even the breath he spit out was soaked in a chill: "I said throw it away."
This time, Uncle Zhang no longer hesitated, bypassed Tang Li in front of him, picked up the cake on the coffee table and walked out.
Who knew he had only taken a few steps when Tang Li suddenly rushed over like crazy, trying to steal the cake from Uncle Zhang's hand.
Uncle Zhang was startled by Tang Li's sudden action, and conditioned it to the right, only to collide with Tang Li's body.
The weight of the three-tiered birthday cake is not light, even the adult Uncle Zhang struggled to hold it. At this moment, Tang Li hit him hard again, and his center of gravity was suddenly deviated, and his hands were not steady. The whole cake Straight up and planted on Tang Li.
Tang Li had no intention of evading, and reached out to pick up the cake.
It's a pity how can the cake stand up to all this tossing, not to mention that it was all over the floor, and it was so smeared that Tang Li's face and body were covered in white cream.
Uncle Zhang was stunned and looked at Tang Li who was behaving madly: "Master Tang Li..."
Tang Li's expression was a little sluggish, he looked down at the cake that was blinded on his body, and then looked at the empty hands that were trying to grasp something, as dazed as a little beast lost in the forest.
"This is my cake, the cake you gave me..." Tang Li murmured in his mouth, as if he was about to cry, "Why did you throw my cake away? Didn't you give it to me? You can't help but Throwing my cake away with my consent..."
Uncle Zhang couldn't bear it, and turned his head silently.
Shen Yu, who was sitting not far away, watched all this quietly from beginning to end. After hearing Tang Li's words, the sarcastic arc of the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, and he said coldly: "So what you did in school Did you get my consent? Did you let Lei Yumeng suffer those injuries with her parents' consent?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Li's whole face turned pale.
If just now, he just suspected that Shen Yu knew about his relationship with Lei Yumeng, then now, he is very sure that Shen Yu not only knows about this, but also knows about all the bullying Lei Yumeng has suffered, and that he has been sitting on the sidelines.
Thinking of this, Tang Li suddenly felt cold all over.
"Shen Yu..." he said subconsciously, "things are not what you think..."
Shen Yu couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair suddenly, and said loudly: "What else can that be?!"
Tang Li was stunned, his voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Shen Yu timidly.
"Tang Li, I have asked you many times, but you lie every time, and you have never told me a single word of the truth." Shen Yu's eyes were full of unconcealed disappointment, "I always thought that You are just pure puppy love, I didn't expect you to do more than I imagined, you actually used those people to bully a girl!"
"Shen Yu, it's not like that..." Tang Li's always indifferent face showed such a panic expression for the first time. He shook his head into a rattle and came over to hold Shen Yu's hand.
But in the next second, it was waved open by Shen Yu mercilessly.
"Don't touch me." Shen Yu said coldly.
"If she hadn't been begging me for nothing and using you to threaten me, I wouldn't have done this at all." Tang Li had cake on his face and body, looking extremely embarrassed, he explained with a trembling voice , "What Lei Yumeng suffered was her own fault."
Shen Yuqi laughed: "Just because she pesters you, you condone others to force her to commit suicide at school?"
Tang Li said: "It wasn't me who bullied her, and it wasn't me who made her commit suicide."
Hearing Shen Yu's temples throbbing, he held his forehead with his hand and said angrily: "What's the difference between you and those people? It's just that the blood didn't splash on your hands, you can Saying such indifferent words, don't forget, you are the murderer who indirectly caused Lei Yumeng to commit suicide!"
How can you be so cruel
How can you watch a girl get bullied because of you
How can you act like an outsider after the fact
For a time, countless question marks and exclamation marks filled Shen Yu's mind. He was emotionally unstable, leaning on the wheelchair and panting slightly, his burning eyes seemed to see through Tang Li's body.
He sighed in a low voice: "I thought I could change you and pull you back from that path, but only now did I find that those characters have penetrated into your bones, you were born like this, you It's you, I can't change you."
After a pause, he said, "Tang Li, do you have feelings?"
Shen Yu didn't get Tang Li's answer.
I don't know if Tang Li understood his inexplicable words.
Shen Yu cast his eyes away, and suddenly had no energy to observe Tang Li's reaction. After Aunt Chen and others cleaned up the living room, he waved his hand and told the servants to leave first.
Then, he asked Uncle Zhang, "Is there my property near the school?"
Uncle Zhang lowered his head and answered understandingly: "There are two sets, one is the hardcover set of Guiyuan Garden, which is only ten minutes away from Shenghua International School, and the other set is in Lugang Community, which is more than two hundred square meters of fault. It takes half an hour to drive to the school, better security and more convenient transportation.”
"You decide." Shen Yu closed her eyes and rubbed her brows wearily, "Send Tang Li over later, let him live there from now on, and come back once a month."
Before Uncle Zhang could answer, Tang Li collapsed and said, "Why?"
Shen Yu opened her eyes and stared lightly at Tang Li, who was full of shock: "I can't teach you."
Soon, he added, "But since I promised you that I would raise you until you grow up, I will keep my promise, and you don't have to worry."
Tang Li stared straight at Shen Yu, his eyes strange as if he was looking at someone he had never known before.
Gradually, Tang Li's dark eyes were covered with a layer of water mist, and the sadness lingering in the bottom of his eyes seemed to be condensed into reality.
Tang Li moved his lips and said in an incredible tone: "Just for Lei Yumeng?"
Shen Yu replied: "It has nothing to do with her."
"What's that got to do with it? Or do you think I'm an eyesore for a long time, and now you have a reasonable excuse to kick me out?"
Shen Yu sensed Tang Li's approaching runaway mood, he raised his eyes to meet Tang Li's red eyes with excitement, suddenly felt bad, and frowned, "Nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yu saw a few crystal tears rolling out from Tang Li's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, those tears rushed out of their eyes like beads with a broken thread.
Tang Li didn't feel it at all, his eyes were scary red, and a few obvious blue veins appeared on his forehead. He seemed to be trying his best to suppress his emotions, and seemed to calmly say, "If I don't do that, Lei Yumeng will still be haunted. I, day in and day out, stay outside my classroom like Jenny Yang haunts you."
Shen Yu was stunned for a while, and said solemnly, "Although I don't like Yang Jenny, I won't do anything to hurt her."
Tang Li responded sharply: "That's why you gave her the opportunity to continue pestering you."
Shen Yu was suddenly speechless, and his unbelievable eyes lingered on Tang Li for several times.
He couldn't believe it...
This sentence actually came out of the mouth of an eleven-year-old child.
Just as Shen Yu was stunned, Tang Li continued: "You refused to be cruel at all, making her think that even if she is relying on you like a dog, there is nothing you can do, your behavior is in her eyes. If she wants to refuse and welcome, as long as she is more proactive, it will be a matter of time before she becomes Mrs. Shen."
Shen Yu's face was ashen, and she slapped on the armrest of the wheelchair: "At least she wasn't forced to commit suicide because of me!"
Tang Li said with red eyes: "You are such a bad guy."
Hearing this, Shen Yu was so angry that even her breathing was a little unsteady, and her heart burst into flames in an instant, and a sentence came out of her mouth before her head: "Yes, if I wasn't a bad guy, how could I take in a troubled boy like you!"
When the voice fell, the whole air was silent.
Tang Li didn't speak again, but turned into a sculpture and went directly into a static state.
Shen Yu's reason gradually returned to the cage, and then he realized that what he said just now was too much, and suddenly softened: "Chestnut, I..."
Tang Li didn't give him a chance to explain, so he turned around and left.
Soon, Tang Li's back disappeared from Shen Yu's sight.
Uncle Zhang glanced at Shen Yu, and followed silently without saying a word.
·
Early winter nights come early.
It was only less than eight o'clock in the evening, and the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window was already covered by the dark night. Looking around, it was like a strong and huge curtain, blocking all the light.
"It's going to snow tonight." Aunt Chen said, looking out the window.
Shen Yu was sitting next to the sofa and playing with her mobile phone. Hearing that, she looked up at the dark night sky outside the window. He said, "It's only December, is it snowing so early?"
"Last year, it was also at this time of the first snow." Aunt Chen turned her head and said, not quite sure, "I think the weather forecast says so, even if it doesn't snow tonight, it may be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Shen Yu snorted.
He lowered his head and continued to look at the phone, but he couldn't read the content on the interface.
Aunt Chen next to her saw Shen Yu's absent-minded reaction in her eyes. She sighed, not knowing how to comfort Shen Yu.
Although Aunt Chen and other servants were dismissed by Shen Yu when Shen Yu and Tang Li quarreled in the evening, she clearly saw Tang Li hurriedly walking towards the gate in the front yard, and Steward Zhang said something. Do not follow behind.
Looks like it's going to be a big deal this time...
In the end, it is not his own son, or it is prone to problems.
Aunt Chen hesitated for a while, then persuaded: "Sir, it's getting late, go upstairs to rest early."
"Yeah." Shen Yu nodded, then put away the phone, controlled the wheelchair and prepared to take the elevator upstairs, he soon thought of something, and asked Aunt Chen, "If Uncle Zhang comes back, let him come to my bedroom to find me, I will pay for it for the time being. won't sleep."
Aunt Chen replied, "Okay, sir."
Maybe it was because of the heavy heart. After taking a bath, Shen Yu sat on the head of the bed in a bored way, and really didn't feel sleepy at all.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still picked up the mobile phone that had been put on the bedside, and dialed Uncle Zhang's number uneasy.
When he made the second call, he was only connected, and Uncle Zhang's deliberately lowered voice came from the phone: "Sir, I'll accompany Young Master Tang Li outside, nothing will happen, please rest assured."
Shen Yu asked, "Where are you?"
"Outside Lei Yumeng's house." Uncle Zhang said, "Lei Yumeng was discharged from the hospital this afternoon, and Young Master Tang Li has been guarding her downstairs."
Shen Yu was very strange: "What is he going to do?"
Uncle Zhang answered truthfully, "I don't know."
