Chapter 68: Emotional (1)

Translated by IAllsIsAwe

Proofread by Kin

In fact, before confessing, Shen Yu was prepared to be scolded by Elder Shen.

Who knew that Elder Shen would be left greatly stunned for quite a while. Then, he laughed once again, “Are you joking with an old man like me now? Hurry up. Don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me who the girl is from and which family she is from.” freewebnov(e)l

Shen Yu solemnly answered, “I’m not joking.”

Hearing this, Elder Shen turned silent once more. He paid attention to Shen Yu’s expression and saw that Shen Yu didn’t look like he was joking. He suddenly realised something. He drew his eyebrows together in a frown.

“You stinky brat!” Elder Shen angrily picked up his cane and ruthlessly struck Shen Yu’s calf. “You’ve gone so far as to learn to pull Chestnuts out as a shield (an excuse) now. Do you like to put an old man like me in such difficult situations?!”

Shen Yu was caught off guard being struck by a stick. It was painful that he was almost in a cold sweat.

However, Shen Yu didn’t mean to avoid it. Instead, he looked straight into Elder Shen’s eyes and said seriously, “I’m not joking. I didn’t pull out Chestnuts as a shield to refuse a blind date. Every word I said is the truth.”

After a long pause, he said, “I want to be with Tang Li, not on whims, but I want to be together with him for the rest of my life.”

Elder Shen, “…”

He stared at Shen Yu in a daze and did not respond for a long time.

Immediately after, shock, anger, disappointment, and other emotions flash through Elder Shen’s eyes. Those emotions were instantly interwoven into a huge net, making him unable to breathe.

After a while, Elder Shen said hoarsely, “When did you guys start it?”

Shen Yu shook his head, “We aren’t together yet.”

Elder Shen frowned, “What do you mean by that?”

Shen Yu didn’t speak. Instead, he got up and sat beside Elder Shen. He gently held Elder Shen’s hand. He took a deep breath and said in a serious and rigorous tone, “Grandpa, you said it before. Since my parents left, we both have been dependent on each other. You are my only family in this world. I don’t want to hide anything from you, but I’m afraid that my honesty would cause harm to Chestnut. I choose to tell you because I believe you will respect my choice. ”

“…” Elder Shen quietly took away his hand held by Shen Yu and he forcely changed the topic back, “Have you and Tang Li been together?”

“Not yet.”

Shen Yu noticed Elder Shen’s address changed to Tang Li. After thinking about it, he changed his way of saying it, “I’m planning to wait until Chestnut’s college entrance examination to mention it to him. If he is willing to, we can start dating.”

Elder Shen said, “He doesn’t know what your intention is, presently, right?”

“I’m not sure.” Shen Yu was at loss. After two seconds of hesitation, he softly prompted, “I didn’t hide my feelings for him. He should have felt it too. I just don’t know what he thinks now.”

“What?” Elder Shen’s face was flabbergasted. He suddenly raised his voice, “I thought you’d already established a relationship. It turns out, it’s just you one-sidedly being in love?!”

Shen Yu, “…More or less.”

Elder Shen said furiously, “And at the same time, knowing you are the only one who is in love with him, Tang Li keeps things vaguely about the relationship between you two while he neither refuses nor agrees with you??”

Shen Yu, “Eh?”

This is wrong!

Why are you so emotional, Grandpa?!

Your point is wrong!

Shen Yu gradually came around and hurriedly explained, “It’s not what you imagined it is…” free(w)ebnovel.com

“At this time, you still want to protect that boy!” Elder Shen slapped his thigh and resentfully glared at Shen Yu. “Look at you. You don’t have any experience. You also don’t know if you’ve been led by the nose yet you’re still willing to be the spare tire 1 for that boy!”

Shen Yu: “…”

His family’s old man was very awesome. He even knew the word ‘spare tire’.

“Grandpa, you’re thinking too much. It’s just my conjecture and nothing more.” Shen Yu said helplessly, “Moreover, no matter how Chestnut feels about me, it will not affect my liking for him. To say at least, what if he also likes me?”

Elder Shen snorted coldly, “That will be the best.”

Shen Yu was confused. All of sudden, he couldn’t understand Elder Shen’s attitude just now.

Elder Shen was aware of Shen Yu’s expression. He turned his head, and said angrily, “Forget about it. Since you’ve made a decision, I don’t want to meddle with you so much. But mark my words. You can deepen further with Tang Li, but you can’t force him to do something. Don’t forget that he is not yet an adult.”

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment. His eyes were brimming over. He held Elder Shen’s hand once again, “Thank you, grandpa.”

This time, Elder Shen didn’t shake off his hand like he did just now.

“Also…” Elder Shen continued, “If one day you’re parted, you need to listen to me and continue the blind date. No more reasons to avoid it!”

Shen Yu sighed, “…Alright. ”

At this moment, Aunt Chen came over and courteously said, “Sir, dinner is ready.”

“Just go eat.” Elder Shen immediately shook off Shen Yu’s hand and walked toward the dining room without looking back. His pace was as fast as if there was something chasing him from behind.

Shen Yu smiled and closely followed.
