Chapter 156 But I just want to see you.
After Yan Yu broke his head, he became a complete idiot, something Shen Jin probably never expected. For some reason, things around him seemed to be going in strange directions.
After Yan Yu regained consciousness, Shen Jin stopped caring about him. In his opinion, it was just as the old lady had said: falling from such a high cliff and being unharmed meant he was lucky. Therefore, now that he was awake, there was no need to worry about him anymore.
As for the fact that he had broken his head and become stupid, Shen Jin found it ironic. After mocking him in his heart, he put on a nonchalant attitude. Anyway, he had been like that before, and it was because of Yan Yu's punch that he became stupid.
"Xiao Jin, come and eat." Xiao Qing had prepared the bowls and chopsticks, and all the dishes were served. She looked up at Shen Jin, who was sitting in a tree not far away, lost in thought, and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about so intently?"
Shen Jin turned around and decisively denied it, saying, "I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just looking at the scenery. The sunset is especially beautiful in the evening."
"You're just talking nonsense. Do you think I'm not good enough to be fooled?" Xiaoqing smiled and then skipped the topic. "Let's not worry about what we're thinking about now. Let's come down and eat. We need to be full to have energy."
“That’s right, you’re so young, don’t act like an old man. Young people should have the energy of youth!” The old lady couldn’t help but chime in. “Come over here quickly, the fish you caught makes a really delicious soup, come and have a taste.”
Shen Jin, who had been thinking about Yan Yu all day and had a worried look on his face, couldn't help but smile after a few words from the two of them.
He walked to the dining table and started eating with them, chatting and laughing, as if he had completely forgotten about Yan Yu and no longer thought about him.
"Come on, try this. It's delicious and flavorful." The old lady now treats Shen Jin like another grandson and is very good to him. "Look at you, so thin. If the wind gets strong one day, I think it could blow you away."
"I know, I'm eating." Shen Jin smiled. The food he was eating was indeed quite delicious and nutritious, a kind of tonic for someone like him who had been injured and bedridden for several months before waking up.
But he had no appetite, and his mind was still filled with all sorts of random thoughts.
He thought that now that Yan Yu had woken up, shouldn't the two of them leave this place? Besides, since Yan Yu had woken up, it was no longer his business. It didn't seem right for him to stay here with Yan Yu.
"Look at you, what are you thinking about again? You're daydreaming again, aren't you?" Xiaoqing couldn't help but reach out and gently shake her hand in front of him, laughing, "Can't you eat properly first, and think about it later, okay?"
Shen Jin shook his head, clearing his mind of all the random thoughts about Yan Yu. He smiled, took a bite of his food, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "I think... he's awake by now. I've been bothering you for too long. I don't know..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We're not bothering you," the old lady interrupted him before he could finish, saying firmly, "How is it bothering you? It's more lively with more people. Besides, you're so sensible, we like you very much. Why would you think about these things? Do you want to leave?"
After the old lady asked the question, the atmosphere instantly fell silent. No one spoke, and they just looked at each other.
Shen Jin felt somewhat uncomfortable under their gazes, and the old lady's words from not long ago had struck a nerve, leaving him speechless except for blinking silently.
"You...you want to leave here?" Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask, staring intently at him, then sighed softly, "It hasn't been that long."
However, they also knew that Shen Jin was not from here and would leave sooner or later. After all, who would stay in the village for the rest of their life if they grew up in a big city?
Shen Jin usually gets along very well with the people here, joking and playing around, as if he has completely integrated into this place. But when they suddenly heard him say this, it made the two of them realize that he is ultimately not one of them and will eventually leave.
"I'm just saying, nothing's actually planned yet." Shen Jin smiled. "I'd actually like to stay here a little longer."
He had originally intended to end the conversation, but the old lady suddenly asked, "Is it because Yan Yu has already woken up?"
At first, they didn't know Yan Yu's name, but after they asked, Shen Jin told them because he felt that the people here wouldn't harm them.
However, even if the name is mentioned, it is just an unfamiliar name to the people in this place; they do not recognize it.
"That's possible too." Shen Jin lowered his head and took a bite of rice, not wanting to continue the topic. Xiao Qing and the old lady didn't ask any more questions either.
Halfway through the meal, the old lady suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh right, the man inside hasn't eaten yet. Although he's regained consciousness, he hasn't fully recovered and his body isn't very mobile. You can bring him his food later."
"Huh?" Shen Jin was taken aback at first, but under the bewildered gazes of Xiao Qing and the old lady, he replied, "Yes, okay..."
Yan Yu naturally needed to eat. Although Shen Jin didn't want to face him, she couldn't very well trouble Xiao Qing and the old lady to personally bring him food.
After Shen Jin finished eating, he slowly carried the food to Yan Yu's room. Just thinking that Yan Yu was awake at this moment made Shen Jin very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do now, after all, he couldn't just watch him starve to death.
What he found most unbearable was that when he reluctantly brought the things into the room with a sour face, Yan Yu was overjoyed the moment he saw him, his eyes lighting up: "You...you've come!"
Shen Jin: "..."
He couldn't be bothered with him, so he simply placed the food on the bedside table and glanced at Yan Yu indifferently: "Are you hungry?"
Although Yan Yuren was out of his mind, he still felt guilty and ashamed towards Shen Jin. Therefore, he glanced at him guiltily a few times, sensing that Shen Jin seemed to be in a bad mood, and whispered, "Hungry..."
He was afraid that if he spoke loudly, Chen Jin would scold him.
However, at this moment, Shen Jin kept telling himself, "He's an idiot, he's an idiot, he's an idiot," so that he wouldn't argue with him and said in a light tone, "Eat it yourself."
Yan Yu was currently feeling a sense of familiarity with him, wanting to be close to him and cling to him, yet also instinctively afraid of him. After blinking a few times, he cautiously said, "I can't move... I can't eat..."
Shen Jin stared at him expressionlessly, unmoved.
Yan Yu was even more frightened by his gaze, and seemed to be afraid to look him in the eye. He tried to move his hands, but they were trembling and he couldn't move them freely at all.
“I didn’t lie to you…” He moved his eyes, gesturing for Shen Jin to look at his hand, then whispered, “It really can’t move…”
Shen Jin stood up from the stool: "Then I won't eat it."
Before Yan Yu could react, he turned and walked out, leaving Yan Yu lying blankly on the bed, staring at the doorway, waiting for him to reappear.
But after waiting for a while, he still hadn't received anything, and his stomach started growling with hunger. This made him feel extremely sad and upset, as if he had been bullied. His eyes reddened, and he felt wronged.
Even so, he still didn't dare to utter a sound. He was instinctively afraid of Shen Jin and didn't dare to make any demands on him. So he could only lie on the bed with red eyes, letting his stomach keep growling.
"He...it can't be just that he hates me..." Yan Yu thought to himself, feeling a little disappointed. He pursed his dry lips and glanced at the door again, but still didn't see anyone.
But after a while, Chen Jin reappeared.
Yan Yu was instantly overjoyed and couldn't help but shout, "Shen Jin!"
Shen Jin ignored him, walked directly to the bedside, sat down on the stool, brought over the untouched food that had been sitting on the table, picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful, and fed it to him.
Yan Yu stared blankly at him, not daring to say anything. He hurriedly opened his mouth and ate a bite of the food the man fed him, then asked softly, "Why... did you come back again?"
As Shen Jin fed him, he lifted his eyelids, his face expressionless, and asked calmly, "Do you want me to go out again?"
"No, no! I don't want to!" Yan Yu shook his head resolutely, afraid that he would run away again, and hurriedly said, "It's just... you hate me, I..."
Shen Jin didn't know what he was going to say, but seeing him now acting like a fool, and remembering the old him, the two were in stark contrast, making him feel conflicted. He said impatiently, "Shut up."
Yan Yu was taken aback, and weakly replied, "Oh..."
He noticed that when Shen Jin interacted with others, he was very kind and gentle, and would even smile. But when he was with him, it was different. He wouldn't smile at him, and he would have a stern face and even be fierce towards him.
Even so, Yan Yu dared not utter a single complaint, and still couldn't help wanting to see him, to look at him, for it would make him very happy and at ease...
After he calmed down, Shen Jin noticed that he started staring intently at him with his eyes, which seemed to speak volumes. However, all those words were just jumbled messes in Shen Jin's eyes, and he couldn't understand a single one.
Shen Jin said, "Eat your food, don't look at me."
Yan Yu didn't know why this wouldn't work either, and felt a little wronged for a moment, but he didn't dare to express it. He could only blink his eyes blankly and say cautiously, "But I... just want to see you..."
