After Being Transported into a Book, I Adopted the Villain - Chapter 55.1

Last time from Chapter 54:

Tang Li’s eyes were burning hot. His line of sight was on every inch of Shen Yu’s skin. He knew that he was acting like a greedy leopard. Eyeing his prey with such intentions, like a tiger watching his prey.

He couldn’t control himself, he knew that by doing what he dreamt on doing might cause him Shen Yu’s resentment and disgust. It was better to say that he was selfish, considering that he bit the hand that fed him. Restraining himself for a long time would inevitably lead to a moment where he can’t bear it anymore.

So, Tang Li slowly tightened his hold on Shen Yu’s hand, he carefully leaned forward and covered Shen Yu’s lips with his.

Shen Yu felt like he was having a long dream.

In his dream, he saw Tang Li’s face.

Tang Li’s beautiful sculpted face came from the distance and moved closer to him. He then slowly closed his eyes and with hot, trembling lips. He once again traced the shape of Shen Yu’s lips.

Those thick and long eyelashes were like small feathered fans, brushing across Shen Yu’s face.

It was ticklish.

Shen Yu unconsciously closed his eyes.

In the darkness, Tang Li’s every action seemed to be infinitely magnified. His feelings for Shen Yu were intense.

Tang Li’s kiss was very green [1], without any skill. His actions were all solely running on adrenaline and instinct. However, the place where his lips touched was like a burning fire that shattered all Shen Yu’s remaining reason.

(TN: [1] An adjective. If you say that someone is green, you mean that they have had very little experience of life or a particular job.)

As for what happened next…

Shen Yu couldn’t remember.

*****

He didn’t know how long he had been asleep.

When Shen Yu opened his eyes he was in bewilderment. His brain was at first in a blank space, after a while, his consciousness came around and gradually became aware of his surroundings.

Dark heavy curtains in the room were blocking out most of the light coming in through the window. Silence was spread infinitely in the air, leaving only the sound of the air-conditioner to be heard.

Shen Yu blinked. He glanced around the slightly dim interior and realized that this was not the room he was staying in. However, after observing the decoration and furnishings around the room, he was nine out of ten sure that he’s in the same hotel.

Shen Yu moved his arm and struggled to sit up.

Who knew that Tang Li was behind him, he stretched his arm and circled around Shen Yu’s waist skillfully, warm fingertips rubbing against Shen Yu’s skin.

Shen Yu: “…”

Suddenly, memories related to the events last night flashed through his mind——Tang Li’s stunt where he nearly killed Shen Rong, when Tang Li held him in his arms carrying him up to this room, the cautious kiss, and especially when Tang Li helped him…

The more he thought about it, the redder Shen Yu’s face became.

He couldn’t believe that the person he would do these things with would be Tang Li. Only God knew what exactly had happened last night. When he realized that Tang Li was the one kissing him, he thought that Tang Li was possessed by another human soul. Just like how his soul possessed the original owner.

As for what happened next…

He felt ashamed.

Shen Yu wished he didn’t remember it. He also didn’t dare to believe that it really happened. At this very moment, he wanted to be like an ostrich, placing its head in the ground. He wanted to cover himself under the quilt and be isolated from the outside world.

However, he forgot that he was not the only one in the warm quilt, under it was the owner of the arms holding him by the waist.

“Shen Yu.” A somewhat hoarse voice accompanied by a burst of hot air sounded by his ear, “Are you awake?”

Shen Yu wanted to resist the impulse to remove those arms away from him. He closed his eyes again. The eye looked at the nose [2] and the nose looked into the heart [3] as he pretended that he was still sleeping.

(TN: [2]眼观鼻/yǎn guān bí is a look of the head bow because of shyness, shame and so on. In this case, it was a shame. [3] 鼻观心/bí guān xīn is it a sense of concentration as the heart does not mind.)

Unexpectedly, Tang Li’s hand resting on Shen Yu’s skin lightly scratched him. He was caught off guard and suddenly shuddered.

“Are you awake?” Tang Li asked relentlessly.

Shen Yu became angry. He reached out and hurled Tang Li’s arm away. Moving his body forward, away from Tang Li. He covered his head in the quilt and said gloomily, “I want to sleep a little longer. Hurry up and get up.”

“I want to sleep too.” Tang Li replied.

“Sleep your fart!” Shen Yu couldn’t help but burst out. He then urged in a muffled voice, “Quickly get up! Don’t make me kick you out.”

After a moment of silence, he thought this well-behaved child would get out of bed. But all of sudden, Tang Li wrapped both his limbs around Shen Yu. He was like a big sticky octopus, holding Shen Yu firmly together with the quilt.

“No, no, I only want to sleep with you.” Tang Li said coquettishly. The words that came out from his mouth were soft but his movements were robust and firm giving others the inability to refuse. As expected, Shen Yu didn’t even have any room to break away from him.

“Let go of me!” Shen Yu’s face darkened.

“No!” Tang Li refused firmly.

“Let go!” Shen Yu was really anxious. He was ready to turn his face to Tang Li. “Tang Li, if you keep on acting like this, I will kick you out for real.”

Hearing this, Tang Li unexpectedly became silent. After a long time, he buried his face in Shen Yu’s neck and took a deep breath. He said in frustration, “I’m afraid that after I let go of you this time, I will never be able to catch you again.”

Shen Yu was stunned.

For some reason, the anger that had been boiling in his chest instantly disappeared.

He thought about what happened last night and found that he couldn’t blame Tang Li for his mistakes. He could only blame Shen Rong, that bastard for using such a shameless trick. In fact, if Tang Li didn’t take the initiative to go to his room and help him to solve the problem, he still wouldn’t know how he would’ve survived that endless night.

Shen Yu sighed, “I won’t go. If you want to catch me, just reach out your hand towards me.”

“…” Tang Li held onto his body and quivered. Soon, Tang Li’s voice rang out again, “You’re a big living man with hands and feet. You can walk away whenever you want.”

Shen Yu smiled helplessly, “That also depends on whether I want to go or not.”

“…Do you want to leave now?” Tang Li carefully asked.

Shen Yu replied honestly, “At the moment, I just want to be alone and calm down.”

“Alright.” This time, Tang Li responded cheerfully. As his voice fell, he let go of Shen Yu and turned over to get out of bed.

The weight on his body suddenly disappeared. For a moment, Shen Yu became unfamiliar with the feeling, he wrapped himself in a quilt and didn’t show his face. He narrowed his eyes in the dark, listening to the activity in the room.

It must be Tang Li getting dressed. It didn’t take long for the rustling sounds to disappear. Tang Li entered the bathroom to wash his face and rinse his mouth. The sound of his footsteps started to fade as he walked towards the door.

Shortly, he heard a ‘click’ as the door was closed gently.

Now, the whole world has become quiet.

The quilt wrapped around Shen Yu made him feel stuffy and hot. He slowly breathed out and stuck his head out of the quilt. There was a layer of sweat on his body.

He knew that he should get up and deal with Shen Rong and that woman. He just wasn’t sure whether they had already escaped after Tang Li took him out of that room. If Shen Rong wanted to escape, he would’ve already been on a flight off to a certain country.

When he thought of these things, Shen Yu felt a headache coming in.

Originally, he just wanted to poke on Shen Rong’s anger but he didn’t mean to cut weeds and eliminate the roots [4]. Besides, Shen Rong shouldn’t be sitting in a position higher than him. It was all because of the original owner’s guilt.

(TN: [4] 斩草除根/zhǎncǎochúgēn is an idiom means to destroy root and branch / to eliminate completely)
