The Cherished Old Time - C192
Shang Hui’s injuries were severe, and Yu Meng helped him from the carriage all the way to the factory. He was in a deep coma and had not woken up yet.
Inside the medicine box that Song Ci left behind, Yu Meng found alcohol and gauze to help Shang Hui treat his wounds again.
She thought she was strong enough, but it turned out it was only because she was so forgetful.
This sequence of dreams was easier to walk in than the average person. Perhaps it was due to her experience, but she was not happy about it at all.
With great difficulty, she had managed to treat Shang Hui’s wounds. Yu Meng felt dry and hungry, and the wind blew through the doors and windows at night. Even though it was almost summer time, it was still a little cold.
Especially for someone like Shang Hui who was injured.
Originally, Yu Meng planned to go to the car to take down the cushions and other things to help Shang Hui fend off the wind. However, she found a few boxes of Nongfu Mountain Spring and instant noodles in the trunk of the car. Song Ci should have been the one to prepare them, he was blaming himself for not being loyal enough, but he had done things that were more meticulous than anyone else.
Yu Meng couldn’t carry so many things at once, so she divided them up a few times and took out what she needed recently.
After tidying up everything, Yu Meng’s stomach started to growl non-stop.
There was no hot water, so she could only tear open the instant noodles and eat it dry. If she choked, she would pour some water and swallow it down.
“You can even eat that kind of thing so delicious?” Shang Hui’s hoarse voice came from beside Yu Meng, she turned to look at him and wiped her mouth: “You’re awake?”
“Hungry?” There is only instant noodles and no hot water, so I can only chew on them. ”
Shang Hui shook his head, the disdain in his eyes already expressed.
“How are you feeling? Are you all right? ”
Shang Hui supported himself up with one arm, his face was pale white as he smiled.
“He won’t die yet.”
Yu Meng sighed. She was no longer in the mood to eat the instant noodles in her hand. Her arms were hanging at her feet, listless.
“Why?” Shang Hui raised his hands with difficulty, wanting to hold onto Yu Meng’s shoulders. However, he could only lift his arms a little, and in the end, could only laugh at himself as he pursed his lips, and put his arms down.
“I’m a bit tired.” As Yu Meng spoke, she gently laughed.
“I’m so tired that I have to carry someone as big as you all the way here.”
Shang Hui looked at Yu Meng softly, his lips curving into a beautiful smile.
Suddenly he asked her, “Aren’t you afraid?”
Yu Meng subconsciously asked, “What are you afraid of?”
After asking, she quickly reacted. She stuck out her tongue and continued, “When I was pointed at by the gun, I was pretty scared. Actually, I’m not afraid of death. I just feel that it’s too useless to die like this.”
Shang Hui raised his eyebrows, “I have never seen a woman who isn’t afraid of death.”
“It seems like you have a great prejudice against women.” Yu Meng leaned towards Shang Hui’s side. “Drink some water.”
She unscrewed a bottle of Nongfu Mountain Spring and gave it to Shang Hui.
“What the hell is going on? How did you get so hurt? ”
Shang Hui used his slightly strong arm to receive the water bottle, and lightly sipped a few mouthfuls. He raised his eyes slightly with a complicated look in his eyes. His voice was relaxed.
“I made a big mistake this time. The punishment is a spear.”
“What?” Yu Meng could not believe her ears. “Could it be that your father ordered you to shoot him with this spear?”
Shang Hui shook his head.
Yu Meng heaved a sigh of relief.
“Like I said, how could he have such a ruthless father?”
Shang Hui then opened his mouth: “He was the one who personally beat him.”
“… …”
“The Shang family has their own rules.” The Shang family has their rules.
Yu Meng’s expression was solemn as she asked, “What rule?”
“The Shang family has too many rules. For example, this time, I made a mistake. The rule is that I must eat a spear. If I am unlucky and die, then I will die. If I survive, then I will be lucky.”
She looked at the wound on Shang Hui’s chest and felt a lingering fear.
“If this shot missed by half a centimeter, I’m afraid it would have hit your chest, and you would have died.”
Shang Hui didn’t seem to be too nervous about this matter, he only looked at the space between Yu Meng’s eyebrows and laughed sinisterly.
“I can’t bear to part with you.”
At this time, Yu Meng was not in the mood to joke around with Shang Hui.
“So, it’s also the rule of your Shang family that you can’t allow the woman beside you to become pregnant?”
Shang Hui nodded.
“At least, at the current stage, I still haven’t achieved what my father wanted me to do. I can’t have anything to do with women.”
Yu Meng understood. She lowered her head in frustration and sighed deeply, “I’m sorry.”
She thought back to the day when Shang Hui had been furious at her and told her to take Lina and beat the kid to death. At that time, she thought that Shang Hui was fierce, but now that she thought about it, it was all her fault.
“It’s all my fault.” Yu Meng was now blaming herself for giving up everything to get things started again.
“Come here.” Shang Hui waved at Yu Meng: “Let me hug you.”
Yu Meng’s body stiffened as she looked at him, unable to move for a long time.
Shang Hui laughed.
“You’re not even giving me a hug, what’s with the sincerity for you apologizing to me?”
Yu Meng thought about it for a moment, then obediently leaned over, her arm pressed against Shang Hui’s arm. His head tilted to the side, resting on Yu Meng’s shoulder.
“Before I …” After a long while, Shang Hui finally opened his mouth and said, “The reason why I was so fierce towards you was only because I was angry. How could you make such a stupid mistake? In order to escape from me, you actually thought of joining hands with Shang Duo? Did you know, I never have mercy on people who betrayed me, but as for you, when I always made the decision to go all out, I found out that I was probably in the wrong … ”
Yu Meng did not deny it, even she herself felt foolish thinking about how she tried to join hands with Shang Duo.
But Shang Hui did not continue to blame himself. He sighed, and only reproach himself.
“In the end, it’s my fault for being too hard on you.”
It was probably because his body was weak that his emotions and mind had softened. At this moment, Shang Hui seemed to be really blaming himself.
Yu Meng did not want to talk to Shang Hui about all these.
“That’s right, where’s Lina, is she alright?” Yu dream about Lina taking away her ring in order to protect her child, god knows how much of a blow it would be to her if the child was lost.
Shang Hui’s expression seemed to slow down, but quickly regained its calm. He said lightly, “It’s been sent abroad.”
Shang Hui had to lie. If he told Yu Meng about Lina’s death, she would not be able to bear the pressure.
“I’m tired.” Shang Hui leaned on Remnant Dream and slowly closed his eyes.
Yu Meng raised her arms and pulled his broad shoulders into her embrace.
She held him, her chin on his head, her heart heavy.
Actually, these few days, when Yu Meng was at home watching the news all by herself, she had carried a lot of thoughts in her heart and wanted to tell Shang Hui. But now, whatever she said seemed to be unnecessary.
In the middle of the night, Shang Hui suddenly had a nightmare. The space between his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his entire body was trembling. The fine beads of sweat on his forehead could not be wiped clean no matter how hard he tried.
She watched him fall into a state of agony and had to wake him up. As she wiped the sweat from his forehead, she saw him open his eyes slowly.
“You had a nightmare.” Yu Meng unscrewed the cap on the bottle of mineral water and handed it over. “Drink some water. It’ll be better.”
She held onto his shoulder with one hand and the water bottle with the other. Suddenly, Shang Hui hugged onto Yu Meng. So tight, so hard.
Before Yu Meng could even react, the bottle in her hand fell to the ground and water splashed everywhere.
She returned to her senses, lightly patted his back, and gently said: “What’s wrong? What did you dream? Why are you so nervous? ”
“I dreamt that I went too late. You were shot in the head by my dad, your eyes were so round, but you didn’t make a sound.”
Shang Hui said as his body violently trembled.
“How can I call you that … You ignore me. ”
He buried his head in Yu Meng’s neck. He was in extreme pain.
Yu Meng recalled everything that had happened in the Shang family villa and felt her soul tremble. If Shang Hui really came to an end at that time, she would have been killed in one shot.
Although she was still afraid, but facing Shang Hui, she still pretended to be at ease and comforted him.
“It’s all just a dream. Dreams are fake. Look, aren’t I fine now?”
She took his shoulder and propped herself up. The two of them were very close. They looked into each other’s eyes and felt deep love and courage.
However, Shang Hui suddenly lost his temper, a fire ignited in his eyes as he glared at Yu Meng and roared in pain.
“Why did you come to my father? If you die, you will die from stupidity! No one blames you! You still have to come in a hurry to admit what you did! My dad isn’t me! He can’t be soft-hearted to you! Do you think he will let you off the hook for knowing so many secrets of the merchant?! What if something really happens to you? ”
Shang Hui said so much in one breath, his chest moving up and down violently. After releasing his rage, his strength had almost been exhausted, his tensed body heavily falling backwards, luckily Yu Meng reacted quickly and she quickly extended her hand to support him.
He fell into the crook of her arm, his head tilting to one side as he coughed.
“Shang Hui!” Yu Meng anxiously helped him walk along his back, thinking about the fear and worry in Shang Hui’s eyes just now, she finally understood why she was so important to him.
“I just wanted to make up for my mistake. I have all the evidence I need to talk to Shang Duo with is in my recording pen. I wanted to help you do something before I went to find your father.”
Her voice was low with self-reproach and frustration.
“I’ve been regretting it ever since I changed the pill. I shouldn’t have treated you like this, but things have gone far beyond my imagination. I’ve never been given the chance to make amends, and it’s only getting worse and worse …” Yu Meng sighed: “I lost the ring after all. That night when Lina threatened me with a knife, I had no choice but to give it to her. I did not expect that when I called you, she would knock me out with a stick.”
“In the end, it was me who caused you to become like this. I should have been responsible for this anyways.”
Shang Hui laid on Yu Meng’s lap and raised his hands to touch her cheeks.
“I know all about it.”
