Chapter 1691: Seemingly Coveted 8
After entering the house, Gao Tu asked attentively, "Would you like some white tea?"
Shen Wenlang remembered that the Shen Wenlang in this world only drank boiled white tea. Seeing Gao Tu's eager expression, he didn't bother to be picky and simply nodded. However, he couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say you didn't have any tea leaves last time?"
Gao Tu looked at the exquisite tea can in his hand and smiled sheepishly: "You like to drink, so I prepared some."
Shen Wenlang nodded with satisfaction, then sat down leisurely, watching Gao Tu busying around for him. Suddenly, he remembered the only photo of him and Gao Tu when they graduated from high school. Shen Wenlang couldn't help but stand up and walk to the bookshelf beside him.
At first glance, he didn't see the photo, but the bottle of small green tangerine drink that had been preserved to this day was very eye-catching. Shen Wenlang couldn't help but smile slightly. Gao Tu noticed Shen Wenlang's movements and turned his head to look at him. He was dazzled by Shen Wenlang's rare gentleness and the hot water poured directly on his hands, scalding himself.
Gao Tu let out a "hiss" and Shen Wenlang heard it clearly. He couldn't help but walk over, but he first saw the uncovered kiss marks and restraint patch on the back of Gao Tu's neck.
The hickey was left by him. Although it is not easy to say it out loud right now, he cannot pretend not to see it. He can just stick it on Gao Tu's imaginary Omega. It's quite interesting.
As for the suppression stickers, I definitely pretended not to see them.
But Shen Wenlang saw the inhibitor nearby out of the corner of his eye, and felt that Gao Tu's unfounded Omega would be blamed again.
Originally, Shen Wenlang wanted to show his sharp tongue about the inhibitors when Gao Tu brought over the tea, but when he saw the red marks on the back of Gao Tu's hand, he simply grabbed his hand and went to the sink to flush the water.
Some caring words came out of my mouth: "What's wrong with you? You burned yourself like this just pouring a cup of tea!"
Gao Tu felt a little hot in his heart and quickly explained: "I was just careless..."
Shen Wenlang knew that a minor burn like Gao Tu's only needed to be washed with water for twenty minutes to cool down, and almost no other treatment was needed. It would heal in two or three days.
But Gao Tu was no stranger to him, so he could only imitate Shen Wenlang and continue to act like a "Shen Wenlang": "You can burn yourself just pouring tea, and you think you can take care of a feverish Omega?"
"I'm not trying to pick a fight, but the safety here is just average, and there's no security at all. And you still feel comfortable bringing an Omega here? What were you thinking?!"
Gao Tu keenly sensed that something was wrong, but he had no excuses and could only keep apologizing. This docile and easy-to-bully look was really unlike Gao Tu. Shen Wenlang couldn't help but loosen his grip on Gao Tu's wrist and took two steps to the side.
Gao Tu only felt that something happened in the time when Shen Wenlang took two steps back, but he was unable to perceive it or stop it. He could only watch as Shen Wenlang seemed to have not only taken two steps back, but also moved away from his world.
Gao Tu felt so heartbroken that the blood quickly faded from his lips and his face turned pale.
Seeing Gao Tu like this, Shen Wenlang thought he was in pain from the burns, and quickly searched around for the medicine box. He remembered that Gao Tu had the habit of keeping common medicines at home.
"You're really slow. It's been a while since you were burned, and you only just started to feel the pain?"
Gao Tu's eyes were red, and he blurted out the words of grievance: "No..."
Shen Wenlang couldn't find a medicine box, so he simply took a bottle of frozen mineral water from the refrigerator, wrapped it in a towel, and applied an ice compress to Gao Tu. "What's not? You're such a grown man who can't even take care of yourself, and you're taking care of an Omega with a fever. Are you kidding me?"
"Last time you had a fever, it was me who took you to the hospital. Have you forgotten?"
With his palms pressed together, Gao Tu didn't dare to move. He felt mixed emotions. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. He was even more afraid that once he opened his mouth, he would reveal the little thoughts buried deep in his heart.
However, Shen Wenlang repeatedly mentioned and belittled the Omega who he claimed never existed but was actually referring to him, which made him angry. He couldn't help but ask, "Boss Shen, what did the Omega do wrong?"
"Besides, why is it that during Secretary Hua's fever period, she can—"
Shen Wenlang interrupted Gao Tu and asked, "Are you competing with Hua Yong?"
Gao Tu stubbornly suppressed his bitterness and said, "Yes, I really can't compare with Secretary Hua. After all, he is the only Omega who can stay by your side..."
Shen Wenlang continued to interrupt: "Stop talking about Omega all the time. Have you found out what happened last night at XHotel? You know what happened to me. Do you need me to say more?"
Gao Tu felt guilty instantly, and even his eyes became erratic, making it impossible for Shen Wenlang to ignore him. He could only ask, "Why do you have that expression? Could it be that you and that feverish Omega were in cahoots?!"
Gao Tu knew that he couldn't let Shen Wenlang misunderstand him like this, but he was powerless to defend himself. He could only say that he didn't know and he didn't have it.
Shen Wenlang didn't come over to question anything, and easily let it go. "Okay, I know you wouldn't do that to me. I'm just teasing you, but I don't think you'd dare."
Gao Tu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing Shen Wenlang's suddenly relaxed smile, he didn't even care about his ups and downs in mood. After all, his hand was still firmly held in Shen Wenlang's palm, which could be considered as careful care.
After applying ice to Gao Tu for a while, Shen Wenlang finally remembered Gao Qing's condition and asked, "I heard you say Xiao Qing was undergoing an invasive examination. How is she doing now?"
Gao Tu finally reacted and quickly replied, "The examination showed nothing wrong. The results will take a few days to come out. If the results are ideal, Xiaoqing will only need one more surgery and she will be fully recovered!"
Shen Wenlang was also happy for Gao Qing. The girl had been inseparable from the hospital since she was a child. Before she was fourteen, she could still live at home and only had to go to the hospital for a checkup every week. But after she was fourteen, her and Gao Tu's mother passed away, and her condition suddenly worsened. She simply dropped out of school and lived in the hospital.
"It's good that Xiaoqing's condition has improved. If she can be discharged early, you won't have to worry about her all the time."
Gao Tu was also very happy. Looking at Shen Wenlang's smiling face, his eyes were a little dazed. "Yes, it would be the best if Xiaoqing could go home..."
Shen Wenlang simply brought up trivial matters such as Gao Qing's surgery fees and nutrition expenses. "If Xiaoqing can be discharged from the hospital, it will be difficult for you to live here with a young girl like her. I have many vacant apartments. Why don't you pick one and move in with Xiaoqing?"
Without giving Gao Tu a chance to refuse, Shen Wenlang took the initiative to talk about the rent: "You don't have to pay rent. The daily maintenance of the house costs money anyway. Given our relationship, don't bother with this little rent."
