The Cherished Old Time - C198

Tan Yubai sat on the side of the bed and looked down at Yu Meng.

Yu Meng pursed her lips, placed her arm on top of the blanket and laid down, looking at Tan Yubai.

“Nope.” Yu Meng replied, “I just … I can’t tell you what it feels like.”

“I think something has changed.” Yu Mengmeng wanted to say, “But I can’t tell you what changed.”

“Nothing has changed.” Tan Yubai held onto Yu Meng’s hand, and slowly raised his eyes: “It’s just that you’ve matured, so you see more and more things.”

“Then… Did I change? ”

Tan Yubai shook his head: “I hid a lot of things from you in the past, and you only realized this after a long time had passed. Now that you have grown up, we have experienced a lot, so you have slowly seen through me.

Tan Yubai had always clearly seen Yu Meng’s heart. She had grown up in his hands, and he remembered every single change she had undergone in the past.

Yu Meng lowered her eyes and did not speak.

After a long while, Tan Yubai moved his lips, his voice hoarse. He suddenly asked Yu Meng: “If you find out that I’m a man who has committed heinous crimes and that I’m a true detestable person, will you still continue to love me?”

Yu Meng didn’t hesitate at all as she opened her mouth to speak. Her voice was a little hoarse from her anxiety.

“Of course.”

She couldn’t stop the person in front of her from loving him, not to mention the others …

Tan Yubai’s heart seemed to be filled with water, just a slight touch would cause it to spill out.

Yu Meng’s promise made him feel at ease. His love for her had only served to strengthen his resolve at this moment.

He had never fallen in love with the wrong person. All his sacrifices and concessions were all worth it.

In the dim light, she could see the glimmer in his eyes, like a little tear in his eye, or maybe just the color of his pupils.

“Go deeper in.” Tan Yubai pushed Yu Meng’s body: “Make room for me.”

Yu Meng obediently moved closer to the door.

Tan Yubai took off his shirt and slipped into Yu Meng’s blanket. His warm hands reached into Yu Meng’s lace nightgown and first pressed her into his embrace. Then, his hands moved restlessly around her body.

Her skin was soft and smooth, so she couldn’t hug her enough no matter how hard she tried.

He buried his head in her arms and suddenly murmured.

“Thank you for loving me.”

Yu Meng lowered her head and kissed Tan Yubai’s tightly shut eyes and trembling lips.

This was also what she wanted to say.

After turning off the lights, the entire room sank into darkness. The two bodies entwined with each other, intertwined with each other, and after going completely crazy, they would similarly return to this dead silence. They were all tired of each other, and neither of them would be willing to split up even a little.

In the end, he was just willing to do it.

In the past, Yu Meng felt that her Tan Yubai’s love would never change, but she gradually realized that Tan Yubai was changing. She had been disappointed, she had been sad, she had begun to doubt her own heart.

She slowly did not know what in this world was eternal and unchanging. Was it only the heavens and earth that could live forever and never be eternal?

But now, as she hugged Tan Yubai, she unconsciously recited those words to herself in her heart.

The heavens have love, and the heavens are old.

It was only then that Remnant Dream truly understood how much she loved him.

Yu Meng had been resting at home the entire time. Tan Yubai had been by her side the entire time, and the two of them holed up at home.

However, such a time wouldn’t be long. Yu Meng was already mentally prepared for this.

With regards to the Shang clan’s information, Yu Meng always wanted to know how the situation was, but she didn’t dare to ask about it in front of Tan Yubai.

He had already given his greatest concession as a man, guaranteeing Shang Hui’s safety. She also didn’t want to continue making Tan Yubai unhappy.

If one were to say that there was a legendary telepathy in this world, perhaps Yu Meng and Shang Hui did.

This was the first time in many days that Tan Yubai had gone out alone, saying that he would go see a friend.

Shang Hui arrived not long after Tan Yubai had left.

The doorbell rang. Yu Meng initially thought it was Tan Yubai, but just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something.

When he opened the door, he saw another face.

Disrespectful, it was a love that only Shang Hui had, with the aura of a scoundrel.

“You …” Yu Meng’s eyes widened in shock, “Why did you come?!”

Shang Hui leaned on the door frame, lazily and easily curled his lips, laughing softly, “I guess my little pure heart is worried that I won’t be able to sleep at night.”

Seeing how shameless he was, Yu Meng knew that he was fine.

“You come in first.” Yu Meng looked around, afraid that others would notice.

Shang Hui only stood at the profound entrance and did not walk in.

“Why?” Yu Meng stopped halfway through, and saw that Shang Hui was still at the door: “Why aren’t you coming in?”

“I just came to look at you.” Shang Hui raised his hand and waved at Yu Meng: “Come here.”

Yu Meng stepped on her slippers and walked towards Shang Hui.

“Give me a hug.” Shang Hui opened his arms and hugged Yu Meng in satisfaction.

“How’s your injury?”

“I’m fine.” Shang Hui’s head was resting on Yu Meng’s shoulder, and his voice was a little muffled, “I’m just here to inform you that I’m fine and that nothing will happen to me in the future. I have something that Shang Duo needs, and you’re protecting me with Tan Yubai right now, so Shang Duo can’t threaten me at all, so I won’t be in any danger, understand?”

carried Yu Meng and nodded lightly.

“I know.”

Shang Hui reluctantly released Yu Meng, he lowered his head and looked at her, the love in his eyes making her heart ache.

“In this period of time, you should listen to Tan Yubai’s words well.” The corner of Shang Hui’s mouth twitched into a smile. “When I’ve dealt with everything, I’ll come back and take you away.”

Yu Meng could not help but frown. “Shang Hui, I already said we …”

“You treat me as a good friend, I’ve never been pure towards you.” Shang Hui had a mischievous smile on his face the entire time, but the tiredness in his eyes was still exposed, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

“Just wait for me obediently.” Shang Hui suddenly bent over and kissed his on the corner of his mouth.

Yu Meng was startled, Shang Hui had already opened the door and was about to leave.

“Wait!” Yu Meng strode to the door and stood there, “Where is Lina’s grave? I want to see her. ”

Shang Hui stopped walking. He seemed to hesitate for a long time, and finally turned around to look at Yu Meng. He asked her: “If you go and see her, will it make you feel better?”

Yu Meng nodded affirmatively.

“In the Sang family cemetery on Mo Gan Road.”

“Alright, I understand.”

After Shang Hui left, Yu Meng carefully noted down the address.

That was the place where he had kissed her previously. Yu Meng felt that she had done something that had let Tan Yubai down, but the guilt in her heart wasn’t as bad as it was in the past.

After staying in the quagmire for so long, they were no longer clean people.

It was not easy to keep his heart at ease, and there was no need to wash all the stains off his body.

Just like how Yu Meng did not ask Tan Yubai what kind of person he was meeting today. He clearly didn’t have a company anymore, and didn’t have any friends that he needed to meet anymore. She knew he had many secrets to hide from her, and she always had the patience to wait for him to tell her everything.

Just like how Yu Meng did not ask Shang Hui why he knew that Tan Yubai would not be home today, and why he did not mention a word of Tan Yubai finding him that day.

Everyone had their own secrets, some of which could not be told. It could only be pressed against the heart, silent and heavy.

When Tan Yubai returned home at night, he bought Yu Meng’s favorite food, the Ma La Pi. In the past, he had never let her eat this kind of trash food, but now he also wanted to make her happy.

However, Yu Meng had no appetite.

“What’s wrong?”

Tan Yubai sat on the sofa and looked at Yu Meng Xin’s troubled expression. He pulled her wrist and made her sit on his lap.

“I …” Yu Meng mumbled, “I want to see Lina’s tomb.”

Tan Yubai knew that Yu Meng’s heart was soft. This matter would become a thorn in her heart, and she would never be able to pull it out.

He sighed.

“But I don’t know where Lina’s grave is.”

“I know.” Yu Meng got down from Tan Yubai’s leg and stood in front of him. Her eyes lit up, “As long as you agree to let me go.”

However, Tan Yubai did not follow up Yu Meng’s words. He remained calm and asked her after a while: “How did you know where Lina’s tombstone was?”

Yu Meng froze upon finishing her sentence.

The only ones who knew about Lina’s tomb were the members of the Shang clan, and it was impossible for them to be Shang Duo and the old man of the Shang clan.

However, Yu Meng had never mentioned this request before. Since she suddenly opened her mouth today, it was obvious that she had only just found out the location of Lina’s grave.

After thinking about it, Tan Yubai finally understood.

In the end, he did not ask any further questions. He slowly got up and walked to the second floor.

“Tan Yubai!” Yu Meng couldn’t help but stop him.

The man’s slender figure stopped in the middle of the stairs. He raised his eyes slightly and spoke in a low voice.

“I’ll accompany you in a while.”

Then he went upstairs.

Remnant Dream stood alone in the middle of the living room, her nightdress and face illuminated by the lights. She stared at the empty staircase, not knowing what to make of it.

In the study on the second floor, Tan Yubai pressed a hand on his abdomen and closed the door. His body couldn’t help but lean behind the door and slowly slide down.

On his forehead, the back of his clothes was already soaked with cold sweat.

He hadn’t eaten all day, he just wanted to go home and eat with Yu Meng, but what awaited him was the fact that she had met another man in private.

Tan Yubai endured it again and again. He didn’t even know when he would be first.

The pain in his stomach was far from being able to withstand the pain in his heart. His eyes were blurred, filled with grief.

The floor was cold, making his already fragile stomach hurt even more.

How he would love her, how he would love her, was the right choice.
