Strangely enough, when Shen Yu didn't mention it, Yi Cheng was lively and full of energy. But once Shen Yu brought it up, Yi Cheng suddenly felt an irresistible wave of drowsiness rising from his toes all the way to the top of his head, pounding at his temples.
"Yeah... Why am I suddenly so sleepy..." As the figures in front of him grew blurrier, Yi Cheng even saw two Shen Yus.
Shen Yu didn't say a word seeing his state. Without hesitation, he put his arm around Yi Cheng, who was almost falling asleep on his shoulder, and walked to the big bed in the room. He settled Yi Cheng on the bed.
Just as Shen Yu was about to leave to do some work in his study, Yi Cheng, who was half - asleep, grabbed the corner of his clothes. The strength was not great, but it was enough to stop him from moving forward.
Shen Yu didn't say anything. He just quietly looked at the corner of his clothes in Yi Cheng's hand.
"Don't go... Hug me... Sleep..."
At this moment, Yi Cheng's voice was slurred due to his hazy consciousness. Shen Yu had to guess hard to figure out what this man in the bed was trying to say.
After a moment of silence, he took off the clothes whose corner was being held by Yi Cheng.
Losing his balance, Yi Cheng almost fell face - up. He rolled on the bed and nearly fell off. Fortunately, Shen Yu was quick - witted and caught Yi Cheng, who had half of his body hanging off the bed.
He quickly laid Yi Cheng flat on the bed. Then, Shen Yu slipped into the quilt. He turned off the bedside lamp, put his arm around Yi Cheng's lower back, and hugged him tightly.
"You really know how to enjoy it, making your 'enemy' hug you to sleep."
The night passed in silence. When Yi Cheng woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
Yi Cheng stretched and took a deep breath. He had had a really good sleep. Since Yi Feng was arrested, all the big and small matters had to be handled by them young people. For several days, they had been on high alert. Sometimes, out of worry, he couldn't sleep all night. It was really rare to have such a good sleep.
Just as Yi Cheng was about to sigh that nothing in the world was better than a good sleep, a calm voice came from above his head: "Are you awake?"
Without waiting for Yi Cheng to react, the owner of the voice continued.
"I saw how sleepy you were, so I didn't have the heart to wake you up. Now it seems that I accidentally did the right thing."
Who else could it be but Shen Yu?
"Your phone kept ringing while you were sleeping. It was so noisy that I couldn't sleep well. I spent all my time replying to the messages from a bunch of people." Seeing that there was no panic in Yi Cheng's eyes, Shen Yu smiled slightly and said.
Yi Cheng, who had just woken up feeling refreshed, immediately became alert when he heard that there were many calls on his phone.
"Where's my phone?" The first thing Yi Cheng asked after waking up was for his phone. He needed to keep an eye on the progress of the matter, the media's public opinion, and the rise and fall of the stock prices.
"Don't look for it. I've taken care of everything for you." Seeing Yi Cheng's anxious expression, Shen Yu waved his hand nonchalantly. "Well, actually, I've solved most of them. There's one thing you need to handle yourself."
It was the first time for Yi Cheng to hear Shen Yu say such a thing. In the past, if something like this happened, Shen Yu would have taken care of the whole thing. But today... Why did he leave one thing for Yi Cheng to solve?
"What... What is it?" Still a bit groggy from just waking up, Yi Cheng staggered out of bed and faced Shen Yu beside him.
"It's okay. It's just Uncle Yi's matter!" Shen Yu smiled slightly and ruffled Yi Cheng's hair.
With Shen Yu's company and care, Yi Cheng felt much more at ease.
His father was soon released. Shen Yu had been helping to collect materials and evidence, and had also helped Yi Cheng deal with all kinds of matters.
Life finally got better.
The relationship between the two became rather ambiguous.
But neither of them expressed their feelings or said much. It seemed that everything was understood without words.
Grandpa Yi's health also improved. Whenever Shen Yu was free, he would go to visit him. They were like good friends of different generations.
On the contrary, Yi Cheng felt a bit guilty, remembering how he used to mock and tease Shen Yu as a murderer every day.
Life seemed to be going smoothly, but there was also something indescribable. For some reason, Yi Cheng always felt that there was something on Shen Yu's mind.
Yi Cheng's internship was over, so he took some time to go back and pack his things in the law firm.
