Chapter 47 Hook
Shen Chutang looked at her blankly, his dim eyes full of doubts. He asked silently: What's good?
"Hello, Tangtang. Get well soon, Tangtang." Shi Chengyu seemed to see the doubt in her eyes and said softly. He took her hand and placed it in his palm, and put his fingers around her wrist. "My goodness, you are too thin."
He did not hide the heartache in his tone. The body that he had finally recovered some time ago seemed to have returned to its previous state overnight, and was even worse than before.
Shen Chutang had no strength left in his body, so he just moved his fingers and used his little finger to hook his fingers.
"Tangtang needs to get better soon." Shi Chengyu said again, hooking her slender little finger, "Hook."
"When Tangtang gets better, you can do whatever you want. I'll tell you everything you want to know."
"Brother Chengyu swears that he will never hide anything from you again."
Shen Chutang's fingers moved from time to time as a response to him. She was not in good spirits and was sleeping and waking up all afternoon.
Shi Chengyu stayed with her the whole afternoon. When she was awake, he read to her. When she fell asleep, he put her on the bed and stayed by her side. Sometimes he said nothing, but just held her and patted and rocked her gently.
The next morning, Xie Tong asked for leave and came over. Shen Chutang hadn't been to school for two days. Xie Tong was worried that something had happened, but Shen Chutang was asleep every time he called, so he came over directly today.
Shen Chutang was still not in a good mood. He couldn't eat and ate very little at every meal. When Xie Tong came, he happened to run into Shi Chengyu who was about to come in with a bowl of red bean soup.
Seeing Xie Tong, Shi Chengyu asked the servant to bring another bowl of red bean soup, "Please, try to let her eat more."
His tricks of coaxing people no longer worked on Shen Chutang. It took him a long time to convince her to replace the ice cream with red bean soup today.
Xie Tong nodded, "Don't worry."
The red bean soup in the bowl was thick and soft, with milk added. Xie Tong placed a bowl in front of her, "Tangtang, try it quickly, it's delicious."
Xie Tong ate with big mouthfuls, her cheeks stuffed full. Shen Chutang looked at her and smiled faintly, her voice still a little hoarse, "Be careful of the burns."
"It's not hot anymore, eat quickly, look at how sick you are." Xie Tong urged her, "If you keep on like this, I feel like I can beat you to pieces with just one punch."
"knew."
Shen Chutang responded, then slowly picked up the spoon and started eating.
Shi Chengyu was watching outside the door and smiled. The sunlight shone through the window onto her face. Her face was so white that it seemed to be transparent and her lips were pale. But at least she could finally eat something.
"Cheng Yu."
Shi Chengyu turned around and saw Shen Yanheng standing in the corridor. He turned around and said, "Brother."
Shen Yanheng waved at him, "Come with me, I have something to talk to you about."
Shi Chengyu looked back and gently closed the door, "Okay."
Arriving at the study, the two sat down at the tea table, and Shi Chengyu began to make tea.
"I heard about what happened at the banquet two days ago." Shen Yanheng looked at him quietly, exuding an aura of majesty without even getting angry. Having been in a high position for many years, the pressure he exuded was hard to ignore.
"I apologize for Tangtang's matter. She has a bad temper and has never been restrained since she was a child."
"Brother, don't blame Tangtang. I was wrong about this matter and made Tangtang sick. I should apologize." Shi Chengyu handed over a cup of tea, "Tangtang is doing very well."
Shen Yanheng nodded, "One more thing."
"I have watched you grow up. You have always been strict and polite in doing things, and never leave any handle for others." Shen Yanheng took a sip from the teacup, paused for a while, and asked, "I heard that you interrupted the high-level meeting of Shi's?"
"yes."
Shen Yanheng sighed slightly. Even though Shi Chengyu was impeccable in his normal work, he could never calm down once it came to Shen Chutang's affairs.
"I understand that you and Tangtang grew up together and you value her, but sometimes you still have to focus on your own affairs and not expose your weaknesses to others."
The implication is not to drag Shen Chutang into this.
Shi Chengyu nodded, "I understand, brother."
Naturally, he would not let anyone catch him in any way, so after returning, he asked Lin Shulan to drive him around the Marriott.
"Tangtang has grown up, but she still does whatever she wants. She has been clingy since she was a child. Don't take it to heart. There are some things that we, as brothers, are not suitable to talk about. I will let Wen Xian talk to her later."
When Shen Chutang was a child, he was in poor health and he was almost entirely carried in their arms and on their backs as they grew up. When he grew older, he usually had to be led by the hand when he walked.
But Shi Chengyu is not their biological brother after all, and he is different from them after all.
He would not tell Shen Chutang why it was wrong or inappropriate to do so, he would only remind Shi Chengyu to be careful, you can hug someone and hold their hand, but you cannot have thoughts that you shouldn't have.
Shi Chengyu responded for a while and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, brother. You don't need to let anyone tell Tangtang. As long as she is happy, that's all."
"Yeah." Shen Yanheng responded, the teapot on the table still steaming, "Then I'll go back first, Tangtang, you guys take good care of her."
Shi Chengyu also stood up and saw him off, "Okay, big brother, drive slowly."
"Tangtang, how did you get so sick?" Xie Tong looked at her almost porcelain-white skin. He used to dare to rub her face, but now he was cautious and didn't dare to touch it.
After finishing a bowl of red bean soup, Shen Chutang looked better, with a faint smile on the corners of his lips. After listening to Xie Tong's words, he frowned but said nothing.
Xie Tong looked at her embarrassment and said, "Okay, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. It's okay."
Shen Chutang asked, "Is there a lot of homework?"
Xie Tong burst out laughing, "You are in this condition and you still want to do your homework. Which hand of yours can write?"
Shen Chutang looked down and saw that the backs of both hands were swollen. At first, the needles were inserted into his left hand, and it became swollen in less than a day. He then switched to his right hand, and now his right hand was swollen as well.
"Well, there's nothing to worry about with your grades. If they're really not good enough, you can ask me to be your teacher. I'll just provide you with meals!" Xie Tong patted his chest, "I will definitely teach you well!"
Shen Chutang smiled stupidly, "Okay."
"Tangtang~" Xie Tong gently pinched her face, "You are quite cute like this."
The maid knocked on the door and came in. "Xie Miss, it's time for our young lady to rest."
"Okay." Xie Tong got off the bed quickly, "Tangtang, have a good rest. I'll come and accompany you in the evening."
Shen Chutang nodded obediently, watched her leave, and then looked at Shi Chengyu coming in.
Shi Chengyu sat down beside the bed, "Are you going to sleep now?" Seeing that she didn't move, he hugged her again. He felt a little sour, "Tangtang smiled today. Are you happy that Xie Tong is here?"
Shen Chutang leaned in his arms and said slowly, "Xie Tong said he wanted to be my teacher."
"Okay." Shi Chengyu gently rubbed her hand, "Let someone pay her when the time comes."
Xie Tong was an absolute money-grubber. She secretly told Shen Chutang that she had saved a large sum of money, but no one knew what she was going to do with it.
Thinking of this, Shen Chutang raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly.
Shi Chengyu saw her smile and laughed softly, "Okay, let's sleep for a while."
Shi Chengyu coaxed the person to sleep before letting the doctor in. The infusion was given while Shen Chutang was asleep, and it was almost finished when she woke up, so as to make her as comfortable as possible.
