Chapter 34: The Cannon Fodder in a Dogblood Novel (34)
The car finally drove into the garage of the Jiang family villa.
After the designated driver parked the car steadily and was about to speak, he was stopped by a glance from Jiang Qingyan.
Jiang Qingyan took out his phone and transferred five thousand yuan to the driver.
The original fee was only three hundred and fifty; the surplus was a tip.
After the designated driver left happily, Jiang Qingyan didn’t get out of the car immediately. His gaze fell on Shen Tangqing.
His skin was very white, with a porcelain-like quality under the dim light… radiating a beauty that made one’s heart tremble.
He hesitated for a long time, but eventually got out of the car, walked around to the other side, bent down, and gently picked the person up horizontally.
Shen Tangqing frowned unconsciously but didn’t wake up.
His head nestled into Jiang Qingyan’s embrace and rubbed against him, as if trying to find a comfortable position to sleep.
Jiang Qingyan’s entire body stiffened for a moment, his breathing quickening slightly.
The lights in the courtyard fell on the two of them, their long shadows overlapping, exuding an indescribable intimacy.
…
The decoration in Shen Tangqing’s room was almost identical to his own, even the color of the bed sheets and quilt covers were the same.
Jiang Qingyan had the illusion that he had carried Shen Tangqing back to his own room.
A trace of secret excitement rose in his heart, but it came and went quickly.
So quickly that Jiang Qingyan himself didn’t even notice it.
After placing the person on the bed and covering Shen Tangqing with the quilt, he stood by the bedside, silent for a moment, before turning to leave.
When Shen Tangqing woke up, it was already past nine o’clock the next morning.
He rubbed his still-throbbing temples.
Those messy memories scrambled to flood into his mind.
He remembered going home with Jiang Qingyan last night.
Then he unknowingly fell asleepโ
He glanced at the large bed he was lying on.
So, Jiang Qingyan carried him back last night?
No, it definitely wasn’t him.
He hated him so much, how could he possibly carry him? Not kicking him awake was already considered having manners.
It must have been the butler who carried him to the room.
Thinking of this, Shen Tangqing couldn’t help but click his tongue in his heart.
He didn’t expect the butler to be so strong despite looking thin.
After all, he weighed over one hundred and thirty pounds; being able to carry him from the garage to the room required quite good arm strength.
Lifting the quilt, his body still reeked of last night’s alcohol and smoke. Shen Tangqing felt like he was about to go sour.
Without even putting on shoes, he grabbed his pajamas and went into the bathroom.
It wasn’t until he had washed himself fragrant that he came out of the bathroom.
When Shen Tangqing went downstairs, the butler was in the garden supervising the gardeners trimming the plants.
He waved to the butler.
“Butler Zhou.”
Hearing the voice, Butler Zhou turned his head. Seeing Shen Tangqing standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window waving at him, he didn’t hesitate and turned to enter the house.
“Young Master Shen, do you have any orders?”
“Did you carry me into the room last night?”
Butler Zhou was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and spoke respectfully, “No, when the Young Master left last night, he told us to rest. I wasn’t aware of when you and the Young Master returned. It should have been the Young Master who carried you in.”
Shen Tangqing frowned slightly. Jiang Qingyan actually carried him into the house?
Did the sun rise from the west?
Or did that glass of wine yesterday damage his brain?
Seeing Shen Tangqing remain silent for a long time, Butler Zhou spoke again, “Young Master Shen, is there anything else?” He had to go out and supervise the gardeners trimming the plants.
“Oh, nothing, go ahead!”
“Okay, Young Master Shen.”
Just as Butler Zhou turned around, Shen Tangqing suddenly called out to him, “Is Brother Yan home?”
Shen Tangqing didn’t see Jiang Qingyan when he came downstairs.
“The Young Master is on a business trip; he left early in the morning.”
Shen Tangqing let out an “Oh” and said, “Got it.”
After the butler left, Shen Tangqing silently sighed in his heart: Even domineering CEOs have to work like oxen and horses. Not easy!
After lunch, Shen Tangqing went to Zunyan to pick up his car and then drove directly to Liuli Waterfront.
The house had already been transferred to his name.
It was fully furnished and ready for immediate move-in.
Shen Tangqing finally had a home of his own. Although it was in a mission world, he was still very excited.
So much so that his impression of Jiang Qingyan improved quite a bit.
He couldn’t help it; the other party simply gave too much.
A car, a house, two million…
Although it was exchanged for him wearing women’s clothing to attend a banquet, the gain far exceeded the cost. For Shen Tangqing, it was a profit.
Dinner was eaten early, and Shen Tangqing went directly back to the dormitory.
There was no one in the dormitory. Unsurprisingly, Xiao Yu should be working part-time.
Anyway, he was either working part-time or on his way to work part-time.
It seemed like he could never earn enough money, and it also seemed like he never made any money.
There was a sense of bitterness in life, where although no money was earned, the work wasn’t in vainโat least he was exhausted.
As for Shi Jingnian, it was unknown whether he had returned to school or not. He spent most of his time in the library and laboratory, rarely in the dormitory.
Shen Tangqing threw his backpack into the wardrobe, took out his pajamas, and went into the bathroom, preparing to take a comfortable bath and lie in bed playing games.
When he came out of the bathroom humming a song, he froze in place upon seeing the boy sitting in a wheelchair in the dormitory.
Hearing the commotion, the boy also raised his eyes to look at him.
The moment their gazes met in the air, a trace of amazement flashed in Shen Tangqing’s eyes when he saw that face clearly.
He didn’t know how to describe the boy’s appearance.
After searching his brain for a long time, he finally thought of a wordโpitifully lovely.
Yes.
He had a face that looked pitifully lovely.
His skin was very white, the kind of pallor from not seeing sunlight for years.
A hint of sickness lingered between his brows.
His eyelids were pinkish, even the corners of his eyes were tinged with pink. His pupils were very black, giving the illusion of being innocent, clean, and pure.
When looking at Shen Tangqing, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fine mist.
Beautiful, fragile.
Like the most expensive and beautiful porcelain doll in a glass showcase.
It was easy to make people feel compassion for him.
When his gaze fell on the boy’s wheelchair, a name suddenly popped into Shen Tangqing’s mind.
The other roommate he had never met, who was in poor healthโLi Qiulan!
“Are you Li Qiulan?”
Li Qiulan’s gaze fell on Shen Tangqing’s face. His long eyelashes trembled lightly, and a trace of morbid obsession flashed in his eyes.
He finallyโmet Shen Tangqing in person.
Even a hundred times more heart-moving than the photos.
Want himโ
Li Qiulan’s mind was filled with only this one thought.
He blinked at Shen Tangqing. “En, I am. Who are you?”
Li Qiulan’s voice was like his person, soft and cottony, making people want to pinch him.
His blinking action pleased Shen Tangqing; it was simply too cute, hard not to like.
He smiled and said, “My name is Shen Tangqing. We are roommates.”
This was Li Qiulan’s first time coming to the school dormitory since school started, so it was normal not to know his roommates.
“Hello Brother Shen! You can call me Qiuqiu.”
Li Qiulan pursed his lips shyly, looking at Shen Tangqing with an innocent face, asking cautiously, “Can I call youๅฅๅฅ (Gege – Brother)?”
A timid “Brother” almost charmed Shen Tangqing into idiocy; he was completely unable to refuse Li Qiulan’s gesture of goodwill.
He felt Li Qiulan was like the two stray cats he fed, cautiously walking to his side and quietly rubbing their small heads against his leg to act coquettishly.
Who could withstand this?
The smile on his face deepened. “Of course you can.”
After Shen Tangqing finished speaking, his gaze fell on Li Qiulan’s legs, his tone carrying some curiosity. “Qiuqiu, is your health better? Can you come to school now?”
Li Qiulan sensed Shen Tangqing’s gaze. His long eyelashes covered the gloom in his eyes.
Fingertips quietly curled up, nails almost digging into the armrest of the wheelchair.
He hated it most when others asked him any questions about his illness, andโscrutinized his legs!
But the other party was someone he was interested in, so Li Qiulan felt he could be a bit tolerant towards him.
Suppressing the hostility in his heart.
He raised his eyes and smiled shyly, his voice still very soft. “Thank you for your concern, Brother. I just came to school to have a look; I can’t attend classes yet.”
Although a bit curious about Li Qiulan’s legs, Shen Tangqing politely didn’t ask further.
After all, the two had just met; asking directly was still a bit too presumptuous.
Then he changed the topic. “Is that so… did you come alone?”
“No, the driver is waiting for me downstairs.” Li Qiulan’s gaze stuck to Shen Tangqing’s exposed collarbone.
His Adam’s apple moved quietly, grinding his back teeth very obscurely.
Really want to take a bite! Must be very fragrant…
“Then have you eaten?” Shen Tangqing sat on the sofa, completely unaware of Li Qiulan’s abnormality.
“Not yet, I’ll go back and eat later…” Li Qiulan moved his wheelchair closer to him, his voice even softer.
“Did Brother just finish showering? What body wash did you use? You smell so good!”
His expression was very innocent, his obsidian-like eyes full of purity and curiosity when looking at Shen Tangqing.
Shen Tangqing raised his eyebrows slightly. “You like this scent?”
“Like it… what brand is it? I want to use this scented body wash too; it smells very nice.”
After Shen Tangqing mentioned the brand of the body wash, Li Qiulan suddenly spoke up.
“Brother, I’ll add you on WeChat. Can you send me the brand of this body wash on WeChat?”
After speaking, he smiled embarrassedly, two extremely shallow pear vortices appearing at the corners of his mouth.
“It should be sold online, right? …I don’t usually go out.”
“You don’t go out?”
Li Qiulan looked somewhat desolate.
“En, I… my health is not good, I’ve been recuperating at home.”
He spoke somewhat pitifully, and coupled with that pitifully lovely face, he appeared even more endearing.
Shen Tangqing inexplicably felt a trace of sympathy.
“Okay, I’ll add you on WeChat and send it to you.”
Li Qiulan hooked the corner of his lips, reached out to tug at the corner of Shen Tangqing’s clothes, and shook it. “Thank you, Brother.”
With his face, doing such a coquettish action felt completely natural.
Shen Tangqing couldn’t help patting his shoulder.
“You’re welcome.”
