Chapter 943 I Want To be With You...
Xiao Min continued drinking, and in the end, he and the woman left drunk. Shen Li Went to them and couldn"t wake Xiao Min up. Shen Li asked the bartender to send the woman to the address she gave while taking Xiao Min with him.
Making him sit in his car, Shen Li took Xiao Min with him to his home as he was drunk and didn"t feel it right to take him home in such condition and at a late hour. It would only worry his parents, he thought.
On the way, while driving, Shen Li could hear the drunk man mumbling.
"I hate you...You are a bad-bad guy...I hate the bad guy…"
Shen Li didn"t pay attention as he knew who Xiao Min was referring to but couldn"t understand why he turned like this. The last time when they met in the hospital, he was fine and talked nicely too.
Shen Li Managed to get the drunk man in his home with the efforts as it was hard to walk while holding him and not letting him fall.
The moment Shen Li took Xiao Min inside the home, he put him on the sofa in the living room and sat in one chair, catching his breath. It was summer, and it made it even a difficult task for him, and he turned all sweaty.
Grabbing water for himself, Shen Li had few sips and thought to take Xiao Min to the bedroom so he could sleep comfortably.
Putting him on the bed, Shen Li took off Xiao Min"s shoes and his jacket. Covering him with the quilt, Shen Li went to have a bath. Just as he turned on the shower and stood under it, someone barged into the bathroom and continued emptying his stomach in the washbasin inside the bathroom.
Shen Li was startled by this and turned off the shower to get the towel and cover himself first.
"This idiot," Shen Li cursed loudly but Xiao Min didn"t know what was going on.
Once Xiao Min finished his puking exercise, he was ready to lose consciousness and fall in the bathroom, but before that, Shen Li caught him.
"Thank G.o.d, he at least he has the sense to not puke in the bed even if he is drunk," said Shen Li.
Holding Xiao Min at the place, Shen Li washed his face by making him lean on the washbasin and splas.h.i.+ng water on his face, but Xiao Min had no idea other than just feeling annoyed with the water splashed on his face and disturbing his sleep.
"Stop moving," Shen Li commanded firmly that Xiao Min stopped moving and allowed Shen Li to clean his face quietly.
Making him stand against the bathroom wall, Shen Li pulled out Xiao Min"s T-s.h.i.+rt, which was wet due to water splash.
Xiao Min opened his hazy eyes and looked at the man in front of him while trying to clear his blurry vision.
"This is a dream," Xiao Min mumbled and closed his eyes back.
Just as he was giving up on standing, Shen Li caught him, which turned into a hug.
Xiao Min put all his weight on Shen Li that made it difficult for Shen Li to hold him, but this time it was something different. Shen Li could feel his heart beating faster with this closeness.
Xiao Min buried his face in Shen Li"s nape, and he could feel his calm breathing against his skin.
Shen Li thought, it must be because both were s.h.i.+rtless, and it seemed more intimate. Shaking his head to get rid of any such thoughts, Shen Li carried Xiao Min to the bed and put him to sleep.
Putting on clothes, Shen Li went to bed and slept beside Xiao Min, on his one side while looking at him. The drunk and innocent-looking man was not aware of what he was doing with the man beside him.
In the dim light from the night lamp, Shen Li could see him clearly. His eyes scanned the sharp features of Xiao Min, and then it went further down, which scanned that toned body.
Shen Li gulped and cursed himself for being l.u.s.ty over the man who was not in his senses. Shen Li pulled the quilt completely over Xiao Min till his neck, so his thoughts shouldn"t go wild over it.
"Why are you like this these days, Xiao Min?" Shen Li asked in a low voice, being aware that Xiao Min couldn"t hear him.
"I know you must be upset with me for something, but you should tell me what it is. For the first time, I decided something for both of us, but it seems like we are not on the same page again."
Talking to the sleeping man, Shen Li turned to sleep straight and continued staring at the ceiling. He looked like he was remembering something and spoke again.
"I almost agreed to your father"s wish to go away from you, but I couldn"t do it. I told him I would be with you and won"t go away ever. I hurt your father, but it"s better than hurting you."
Shen Li remembered, after talking to Xiao Min"s father in the hospital and agreeing to his demand, when he returned home, it felt hard to breathe even. The thought of going away from Xiao Min was suffocating him, and he felt like he lost everything.
When Shen Li met Xiao Min the next day in the Lu corporation, Shen Li wished to tell him to be together but seeing Xiao Min"s indifferent behavior; he couldn"t do it and decided to wait.
After leaving Lu Corporation, Shen Li called Xiao Dong and apologized to him for not listening to him this time. Shen Li declared that he would be with Xiao Min, and he would never leave him unless Xiao Min asks him to.
When Shen Li was ready to confess his feelings, Xiao Min got busy with his boss"s accident, so he didn"t get the chance to do anything and waited for Xiao Min to be free, but it seems like he was late.
Shen Li looked at Xiao Min and asked, "I want to be with you, can we?" but there was no reply from the drunk man.
Shen Li moved closer to him and pecked on Xiao Min"s cheeks as he said, "Good night."
