After Being Transported Into A Book, I Adopted The Villain Chapter 4

Happy 4th of July!! ｡ﾟ✶ฺ.ヽ(*´∀`*)ﾉ.✶ฺﾟ｡

I wonder many of you are celebrating today? I have a map that shows me where all my readers come from but, heck, for all I know you're all using VPNs. Or I don't know, maybe you're all BL reading bots.

I totally forgot that it was Canada Day a couple days ago (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑). So this chapter is for you my Canadian friends.

The next morning.

After receiving a notification, Dr. Liu temporarily cancelled his training and rushed back from abroad and drove straight to the Shen house without stopping. He took his medicine box and went straight to Shen Yu's bedroom while being followed by four medical a.s.sistants, each dragging various instruments.

Uncle Zhang, who was about to call Shen Yu out of bed, was shocked by Dr. Liu's battle-like demeanor. He quickly stopped him and asked, “Dr. Liu, has something urgent happened?”

“What about Mr. Shen?”

“He's inside.”

“Is he all right?”

“At present he's fine.” Uncle Zhang was shocked to see Dr. Liu, and became nervous. “Why did Dr. Liu ask that?”

Dr. Liu blankly touched his nose.  “Didn't Aunt Chen call me to come over?”

Just as his voice fell, the bedroom door in front of them slowly opened. Shen Yu, dressed neatly, came out in a wheelchair. He squinted his eyes and laughed, two shallow dots appeared on his cheeks: “Good morning Dr. Liu, I see you've made a special trip. I hope I didn't cause you any inconvenience.”

“I'm always happy to serve Mr. Shen.” Dr. Liu smiled and said, “It seems that Mr. Shen is recovering well now. You can get up and dress without the help of Uncle Zhang. Have you been making sure to complete the rehabilitation plan I made?”

“I've been doing it all the time. Not once have I been lazy.” Shen Yu laughed, and then changed the topic. “But today's protagonist is not me.”

Dr. Liu: “Oh?”

————————————

On the other side.

Tang Li got up before dawn.

He had developed the habit of never sleeping late at his relatives' house.

Tang Li thought he would definitely see Shen Yu at breakfast. In the end, even though he deliberately finished his breakfast slowly, Shen Yu did not appear.

Before leaving, Tang Li finally could not resist and asked Aunt Chen, who had begun to tidy up the dishes and chopsticks.

“What about Mr. Shen?”

“Perhaps still sleeping.” Aunt Chen smiled helplessly. "In the past, the Master was a night owl who couldn't sleep at night and couldn't get up in the morning. Later, Mr. Zhang confiscated the master's mobile phone before going to bed, so he forcibly corrected the master's habit of staying up late. But now, so long as nothing serious happens, Master can sleep until noon, and I don't know if he'll change that habit…”

Aunt Chen worked for the Shen family for 30 years. She watched Shen Yu grow up since he was young, so she could talk about her Master endlessly.

Tang Li was silent as he listened to Aunt Chen.

Obviously, the image of Shen Yu that Aunt Chen described is quite different from the image he had in his head.

Before coming to the Shen house, he thought Shen Yu was a cold and high-ranking person, standing at the top of the pyramid and looking down at all the ants. After coming to the Shen house, he found that Shen Yu was an angel with a warm smile. One that had no temper and was easy to approach, so much so that he could easily accept an outsider like Tang Li.

But now for the first time, he had discovered that Shen Yu had such a childish side.

“Aunt Chen.” A slightly strange and melodious male voice sounded helpless as it interrupted Aunt Chen's rant, “You're spilling all of my dark secrets again.”

Aunt Chen paused and turned to look at Shen Yu, who was pushed over by Uncle Zhang. She laughed and shouted, “Master!”

After taking care of Shen Yu for so long, she naturally knew that Shen Yu was not as angry as he was last night, but when she saw Dr. Liu coming after him, she quickly tidied up the dishes and left the dining room.

Dr. Liu looked at Aunt Chen's back as she walked away. He raised his eyebrows and joked, “I haven't seen you for so long, yet everyone is still so afraid of you.”

"Am I scary?” Shen Yu brought his hand to his own face.

“Not scary, not scary at all.” Dr. Liu answered casually, “With Mr. Shen's unmatchable beauty, we mortals can only be fascinated from afar.”

“… Shut up.”

Shen Yu turned his head and looked at Tang Li, who seemed to have almost no sense of existence from a distance. He waved to him, “Little Chestnut, come here.”

Tang Li hesitated a little, and then obediently went to Shen Yu.

At that time, there were only Shen Yu, Uncle Zhang, Dr. Liu and the silent Tang Li in the big dining room.

In order not to hurt the self-esteem of the little future villain, Shen Yu specially asked the four a.s.sistants brought by Dr. Liu to stay in the living room.

“Give him an examination, make sure to check the scars on his body. If you can dress them, then do so. I'd be best if you can get rid of them." When Shen Yu finished, he gently grabbed Tang Li's hand and whispered in his ear, “I'll wait for you in the living room. Shall we go shopping later?”

Shen Yu spoke in a light tone, the air he breathed out like soft feathers pa.s.sing by Tang Li's ears.

It's itchy.

And it's itchy in his heart.

Tang Li nodded almost imperceptibly, and the blush of his cheeks had spread to the tip of his ears, but he had not noticed it at all.

Shen Yu watched Tang Li's face change with wide eyes, and he couldn't help laughing. He pressed down the desire to pinch the ears of the little villain and instead let Uncle Zhang push him out of the dining room.

After waiting in the living room for about half an hour, Dr. Liu and Tang Li came out of the dining room.

Dr. Liu, with a slightly indignant look, called Shen Yu over to the next room alone. He opened his mouth and got straight to the point, “After the Tang couple departed, they left a mess for their poor son. There is also that group of relatives of the Tang family who are covetous of his inheritance. Are you really going to adopt that child? “

“That won't be an issue.” Shen Yu looked out of the window at the sparkling lake and asked, “What about Chestnut?”

Dr. Liu saw that Shen Yu had made up his mind. Although he did not agree with his decision, he could not say anything at this juncture. He grabbed his head and said, “There are many injuries and the child is severely malnourished, but it will be enough to slowly take care of his body after applying medical treatment to his injuries. It's just that his mental state seems not very good.”

Shen Yu was stunned: “Specifically speaking?”

“I'm not quite sure. It's a bit of a guess.” Dr. Liu sighed, “He is very defensive, and seems to think of everyone as his enemy, which may result in depression and mania.”

Depression?

Mania?

Shen Yu suddenly remembered that the villain in the novel did have a very serious manic disorder, sometimes even to the point where he was unable to control his own behavior and did some extremely cruel things.

If he remembers correctly, it seems that when Tang Li kidnapped and killed the original Shen Yu, it was a state of mania.

Shen Yu shivered and asked, “What should I do then?”

“Find a psychiatrist to treat it, and it's better not to overly stimulate him with words or actions.” Looking at Shen Yu's nervous appearance, Dr. Liu shook his head and said, “Mr. Shen, you are a good man.”

Shen Yu grinned bitterly: “You want a son?”

“You still lack a son? Maybe the kind that went to college and works as a doctor?”

“… Get out of here.”

When Dr. Shen Yu and Dr. Liu returned to the living room, Uncle Zhang was ready for their trip, and Dr. Liu's four a.s.sistants had packed up their things and were ready to leave.

Only Tang Li, who had nothing to do, was sitting upright on the sofa, his dark eyes looking in the direction of Shen Yu.

As Shen Yu approached, Tang Li's figure became more and more rigid. Looking directly at Shen Yu's eyes, he couldn't help but feel nervous and anxious.

He did not know what Dr. Liu had said to Shen Yu, but intuition told him that it might be related to him.

Thinking of the way Dr. Liu had stopped talking and his solemn expression just now, the fear in Tang Li's heart was like a s...o...b..ll. The more it rolled, the more it grew. He was afraid to see the disappointment in Shen Yu's eyes, and to hear the word "leave" from Shen Yu's mouth.

Shen Yu is the only person willing to take him in.

He couldn't let Dr. Liu have the chance to talk with Shen Yu.

But what can he do when he is so weak?

Tang Li's face was as white as paper, his hands on his knees were tightening constantly, his nails were firmly embedded in the flesh of his palms. However, he seemed to feel no pain. He opened his beautiful Phoenix eyes slightly and for a moment, stared at Shen Yu who had come over to him.

If Dr. Liu really persuaded had Shen Yu to change his mind on the adoption, then one day he would surely have Dr. Liu completely disappear from the world…

This is Tang Li's final resolve.

“Chestnut.” Shen Yu boldly touched Tang Li's soft hair. He felt a small shiver from the little villain. After a moment of amazement, he went to hold Tang Li's hands. “You must have waited a long time. Let's go shopping.”

Tang Li suddenly felt sluggish.

In an instant, all the thoughts in his head disappeared into thin air.

At this moment, he couldn't even think. He could only stare at Shen Yu's smiling face.

The brilliant yellow sunshine pa.s.sed through the window and sprinkled down on the side of Shen Yu's beautiful face, blurring the Shen Yu's outline and made him squint his eyes unconsciously.

The light blocked them, as if it separated them by tens-of-thousands of light-years. Shen Yu was bathed in the warm sunshine, but he was sunk in the endless darkness.

For a moment, the contrast between light and dark in combination with Shen Yu's holding his hand made Tang Li feel nihilistic.

Suddenly, he heard Shen Yu's exclamation: “Ah! is your hand bleeding? Too careless! How can you pinch your palm until it bleeds? Dr. Liu, come over and quickly treat it.”

Dr. Liu, who was being stared at by Tang Li, was just about to slip away. When he heard Shen Yu's call, he could only stiffen his scalp [1] and come over: “… I'm coming."

After such a delay, it was half-an-hour before Shen Yu could go out with Tang Li.

Since Shen Yu came to this world, he has stayed at home, concentrating on baking and rehabilitation, rarely going out to see other people and refusing all visitors.

With a quick calculation, this should be Shen Yu's sixth trip out. The first five times he either went to Elder Shen's home, or to the company meeting. He certainly did not expect his first real trip out to be with the villain.

Shen Yu looked at Tang Li while sitting face-to-face, as he looked down, his sight landed on two small hands wrapped in gauze.

He asked, “Does it hurt?”

Tang Li hesitated for two seconds and shook his head: “No.”

Shen Yu laughed, “Lying is not the habit of a good child.”

“… It hurts.” Tang Li wiped his lips and chose to tell the truth, but he quickly added, “But after you asked, it doesn't hurt.”
