CH 9

After Shen Kanyu spent days and nights completing the “friendship beta” with his delinquent friends, 《Laughter in the Vast Seas》 approached perfection and it was soon open to appraisal discussions.

***

After parking his car in the lot, he took a shortcut home, only to run head-on into Li Kui in a dark alley. 

Several underlings stood by him and like monkeys, they scurried out and instantly encircled Gu Yansheng, trapping him in the center.

Shen Kanyu was very mindful when sitting in Gu Yansheng’s car. As if what he was sitting on was a balloon, he sat on less than a third of the seat.

After sitting down steadily, he held onto the chair with one hand while his other hand rummaged for a packet of tissues in his pocket with some difficulty. Then he took out two and placed them under his shoes. Once he finished this action, he gave Gu Yansheng a smile that revealed his white teeth. “This car is really new ah. I’ve already forgotten the last time I sat in it. It doesn’t feel any different, looking just as new. A-Sheng really cherishes his things.”

Gu Yansheng ignored his nonsense. His jaw was very tense. He stared at his butt which was seated on a third of the seat, and expressionlessly asked, “What are you doing?” 

Shen Kanyu burst into shivers due to his stare. He immediately raised his butt and pulled out a tissue in a fluster. “I…I’ll put a tissue there before sitting down again.”

Gu Yansheng directly pressed him down.

Shen Kanyu weakly let out an “ah” before hurriedly lowering his head to conceal the pain on his face.

Gu Yansheng was slightly stunned, “What’s wrong?”

“No-nothing,” Shen Kanyu laughed twice, “You’re suddenly like this, it scared me.”

This lousy waist was really going to be ruined. He only fought with a measly few people yet it hurt so much it felt like it’d snap. Moreover, the pain spread to the rest of his body and made it feel as if it was crumbling. Even sitting became a difficult task due to this torment and feebleness he was experiencing.

Perceiving it as Shen Kanyu having nothing better to do than causing him to panic, Gu Yansheng’s face clouded over again. “Sit properly, the seat won’t cave in.”

Shen Kanyu lowered his eyelashes, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said somewhat wearily, “But…I’m very hot ah, I keep on sweating. What if I dirty it…”

Gu Yansheng turned the air conditioning switch. “Just turn on the air conditioning if it’s hot, I can also open the windows. Sit properly.”

As a child, Shen Kanyu was strong and healthy, braving both the cold and the heat. In recent years, since his health steadily deteriorated, he would strangely feel cold during the summer. After being tormented like this, he simply came to fear the cold and wouldn’t dare to face air conditioners directly. Seeing Gu Yansheng’s sullen look, he didn’t dare to act impulsively and just sat on the chair obediently.
