Old Master Shen's birthday banquet arrived as scheduled.
In order to look elegant, Shen Yu could only temporarily abandon the crutches and sit in the wheelchair that Uncle Zhang prepared for him again.
At seven o'clock in the evening, all kinds of luxury cars drove into the hotel parking lot in an orderly manner.
Shen Yu was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the room on the eighth floor. Through the clear and bright glass, he could see the busy street outside and the city night scene with bright lights. The bright brilliance reflected in his pupils.
For a long time, Shen Yu sighed.
In his heart, he still very much rejects the upcoming entertainment.
Fortunately, this birthday banquet was said to be hosted by him personally. In fact, Uncle Zhang and Kang Lin contributed a lot, especially in the later stage, almost all of them were busy, but Shen Yu stole a lot of laziness.
At this moment, Uncle Zhang and Kang Lin were also in the hall to accompany Mr. Shen to welcome the guests. Shen Yu was inconvenient to move, and planned to wait until the half of the birthday banquet was held before going on quietly.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Shen Yu had nothing to do, and simply picked up the tablet to play the TV series.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a slight knock on the door.
Shen Yu paused, tapped his fingertips on the tablet, and listened carefully for a while after the TV series was suspended.
Sure enough there was a sound.
But it was not the knock on the door that Shen Yu thought before, but the sound of a card scraping from the door lock, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, then put the tablet resting on his lap on the coffee table, got up and walked to the door a little staggeringly.
Open the door.
I saw a beautifully dressed woman standing outside, hunched slightly, holding something in her hand, fiddling with the lock on the door.
Her beautiful long black hair like seaweed slipped down from her shoulders. She stared at the suddenly opened door with round eyes. After a while, she realized it later, and raised her head to stare at Shen Yu.
"Who are you?" the woman asked, opening her mouth with the smell of alcohol.
Shen Yu frowned and took two steps back subconsciously. He didn't answer and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am..." The woman stood up straight and slurred three words, which should be her name.
Only then did Shen Yu see clearly that the card in the woman's hand was the room card.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone subconsciously eased a little: "This is my room, you went to the wrong place."
"Ah?" The woman opened her mouth, and her delicate face with light makeup was full of drunkenness and confusion. She tilted her head and muttered for a long time, "So I went to the wrong place, no wonder I can't open the door..."
Shen Yu hummed and was about to close the door.
He never liked to meddle in these nosy things, and the target was a drunk woman. If something happened accidentally, he might even jump into the Yellow River and be unable to wash it off.
But before closing the door, Shen Yu suddenly remembered that this was a hotel owned by the Shen family company, which was under his management.
So Shen Yu abruptly stopped closing the door, and while he was talking, he reached out to get the room card in the woman's hand.
"I'll see which room you're in, and I'll ask the hotel waiter to take you back to your room later."
Who knew that before his fingertips touched the card, he saw the woman's wrist turned and avoided Shen Yu's hand in time. The flexible movements were completely different from the clumsy and slow she just now.
Shen Yu was stunned.
Just as he was about to speak, the woman suddenly seemed to have sobered up, her eyes became clear, and she said thank you to him with a blushing face, and then ran away on high heels.
Shen Yu: "..."
Looking at the figure of the woman running away, he felt strange.
Shen Yu shook his head, closed the door, turned around and staggered back to the wheelchair and sat down.
It wasn't until she picked up the tablet to replay the TV series that Shen Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong just now - the hotel closed as early as a week ago, which means that there are no guests staying in the hotel now.
The management staff and waiters in the hotel have already taken care of the entire hotel. Except for the lobby on the first floor and the cafe on the second floor, other floors are temporarily closed to the public.
Even the eighth floor where Shen Yu is located is also a place where temporary accommodation is provided to guests after the birthday banquet.
so-
How could that woman appear on the eighth floor
Still holding the key card for the hotel room...
The more Shen Yu thought about it, the more wrong he felt. He quickly put down the tablet and controlled the wheelchair to the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a tall figure standing outside.
Not the woman just now, but Tang Li in a neat suit.
Tang Li raised his hand, as if he was about to knock on the door, but the door suddenly opened, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his lips and smiled: "Can I come in?"
"Of course." Shen Yu turned sideways in a wheelchair, giving Tang Li room to come in.
Tang Li asked, "Are you going out just now?"
"Oh, no." Shen Yu closed the door and followed behind Tang Li. After thinking about it for a while, he decided not to tell Tang Li about the woman, so he casually found a reason, "I seem to hear something, I just opened the door to take a look, but I didn't expect you to be here."
Tang Li turned his head and looked at Shen Yu with a smile: "Really?"
This sentence seems to make Tang Li feel very happy, his black eyes are full of stars, the corners of his mouth are raised with a clear arc, and the originally stern face seems to be covered with a layer of soft light.
Tang Li was accustomed to being expressionless, and rarely showed such a heartfelt smile.
It was only in front of Shen Yu that he laughed so defenselessly.
Shen Yu raised her head, Tang Li's smiling face reflected in her clear eyes, and for some reason, the tension that had arisen from worrying about that woman suddenly disappeared.
Tang Li is like a tranquilizer.
It made him feel relieved from a certain anxiety.
Despite this, Tang Li was sensitive to Shen Yu's strangeness. He half-squatted in front of the wheelchair, lightly held Shen Yu's hand on his knee, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shen Yu recovered, shook his head and said, "It's okay."
Tang Li knew that Shen Yu was lying, but since Shen Yu didn't plan to say anything, he stopped asking more, but changed the subject calmly: "Shen Rong also came from Jincheng tonight."
Hearing this, Shen Yu frowned: "I didn't invite him."
Moreover, he had discussed with Mr. Shen beforehand that he would not allow any of the Shen family's collateral relatives to bring Shen Rong to the birthday banquet.
Tang Li squeezed Shen Yu's hand and sighed softly: "He brought a friend with him, but the security guard stopped them from entering, so they kept guarding outside the gate, Grandpa Shen couldn't see it, so he had to let them in already."
Shen Yu: "Friend?"
Tang Li nodded: "A person who engages in music."
Even if Shen Yu was reluctant, Shen Rong had already come, and he couldn't drive the two out in front of many guests. In desperation, he waved his hand.
never mind.
Treat Shen Rong as nothing.
It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Uncle Zhang came to inform Shen Yu to go downstairs.
Shen Yu was wearing a light gray suit, with a thin body, sitting in a wheelchair, and the moment Uncle Zhang pushed him out of the elevator, he attracted the attention of many guests on the field.
This birthday banquet is said to be a dinner party, but in fact, everyone knows that it is just a high-end entertainment venue. The guests who come here either want to catch up with the high branch of the Shen family, or they want to expand their relationships.
Those who sincerely came to congratulate the old man Shen, I am afraid that apart from a few friends of the old man Shen, there are really few people.
Many people around stared at Shen Yu, like a fox staring at a rabbit, looking like he was just about to move.
It's a pity that before they could find a chance to talk to Shen Yu, they watched the "cooked duck" happily called by the old man Shen not far away.
The old man Shen was wearing red and black longevity clothes, full of energy, and his voice was particularly loud. He was surrounded by a group of old friends and juniors, and he happily waved to Shen Yu.
"Xiaoyu." After the old man Shen saw the wheelchair under Shen Yu, his eyes widened immediately, "Can't you walk down the ground? Why are you in a wheelchair again?"
Shen Yu replied politely with a smile: "It's inconvenient to walk with a cane, and it's more convenient to take a wheelchair on such an important occasion."
"So that's the case, my grandson is really considerate." The reproach on Mr. Shen's face instantly turned into a deeper smile, then he turned to his old friends and said, "My Xiaoyu has been able to walk down the ground for a long time, and there is no normal life. Problem, but doctors say it will take a few years to get to the point where you can walk as fast as you used to."
An old friend hurriedly said: "It's good to recover, it's just a matter of time, a few years have passed in a flash."
Others echoed: "Yeah, in the blink of an eye, we are all so old."
After sighing with emotion, the old man Shen gradually turned the topic to another direction, he sighed heavily, and said sadly: "My Xiaoyu is almost thirty years old, and now there is no one to marry, I am an old man. Ah, I've been getting insomnia all night because of this."
Another old friend hurriedly said: "Oh, what a coincidence, my niece is also single, and only came back from studying abroad last year..."
After speaking, he pulled out the tall slender woman standing behind him. The woman had short, refined hair and light makeup, and nodded to Shen Yu politely and shyly.
Shen Yu: "..."
He watched with a cold eye as the old man Shen and his old friend sang in harmony, turned around and left without saying a word.
The anxious voice of the old man Shen came from behind: "Eh Xiaoyu, don't go. If you are not satisfied, Grandpa will give you another one. How about this girl?"
As he spoke, there were voices from other people urging their juniors, "What are you still doing here? Talk to him in the past, what's the age, girls should take the initiative..."
Shen Yu almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
He had an inexplicable feeling that he had entered the vegetable market. Those girls were the cabbage in the market, and he let him choose.
Shen Yu was a little uncomfortable, as if he was holding a breath in his heart, he kept accelerating the speed of the wheelchair, and came to Tang Li in front of the bar.
Tang Li was sitting on a high chair, with one leg bent and the other on the ground. His posture was a little lazy, and his expression was as cold as a layer of icy mist lingering on his face. Four or five young people gathered around him. Men and women, are chatting with him about something.
Seeing Shen Yu approaching with a bad face, those men and women immediately dispersed as a group of birds and beasts.
Seeing the depression in Shen Yu's expression, Tang Li burst into a smile, and the low pressure all over his body dissipated in an instant.
He asked, "Angry?"
Shen Yu pursed her lips and was silent for a long time before she said helplessly: "Sure enough, I'm not suitable for this kind of occasion."
"Yeah." Tang Li reached out and grabbed Shen Yu's wrist, and squeezed it twice as if playing, "You looked ugly just now, look how fast those people ran after seeing you."
Only then did Shen Yu recall the reactions of those young people, and became more depressed for a while, touched his face, and said to himself: "I'm angry again, and I won't scare them like that. ?"
People who don't know think it's a ghost...
Tang Li raised the corners of his mouth and looked down at Shen Yu's small movements. A certain emotion surging in his chest was about to break free, and screams poured out. God knows how hard it took him to suppress that impulse.
But unconsciously, his hand still touched Shen Yu's cheek.
His fingertips were blown cold by the cold wind, and when they touched Shen Yu's hot skin, it seemed that an electric current ran through, hitting the deepest part of his heart directly.
At this moment, how much he wanted time to freeze.
He never had to take his hands away again.
However, this thought can only be thought about. Before Tang Li could take his hand away, he felt a cool breeze blowing from his fingertips. When he reacted, he found that Shen Yu had already retreated a certain distance in a wheelchair.
Tang Li's outstretched hand was still frozen in mid-air. For a long time, he held his five fingers and slowly retracted his hand.
